Chapter 381 Searching to no avail

Xiao Zhen's unreasonable behavior soon irritated the self-esteem of the people in the Yunlan Sect, causing them, who were usually high and mighty, to all show fiery eyes.

“You…even if you have become a Douhuang powerhouse, you cannot act so recklessly. You must know that we in the Yunlan Sect are not soft persimmons!” said the old man from Yunnan angrily.

After searching around with his soul power, he still found nothing. Xiao Zhen frowned and even wondered if he had found the wrong place.

Elder Yunnan crossed his arms and said angrily, "Xiao Zhen, you have checked enough. If you haven't found your daughter, please leave now!"

Xiao Zhen shook his head and said confidently: "Although my soul power didn't detect anything, there are many things in this world that can isolate soul power. I still want to go in and search it carefully!"

“What? You don’t take our Yunlan Sect seriously at all. Aren’t you afraid that our Sect Master will come to your house to question you?” Elder Yunnan said gritting his teeth and directly mentioned the current Sect Master, Yun Yun.

Xiao Zhen waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "If I really can't find any results, I will go to Yunlan Sect in person and apologize to your Sect Master Yun Yun."

At this moment, an old but powerful voice sounded.

"Master Xiao Zhen, I advise you to calm down. There are many ways to find your daughter. There is no need to be so excited. If we go to war with the Yunlan Sect, it will not benefit anyone!"

Looking at another high-level Dou Ling, Xiao Zhen asked in confusion: "Who are you? Are you also from the Yunlan Sect? I don't think I've seen you before?"

The old man in front of him, who looked to be in his 50s or 60s, nodded and smiled modestly:

"My name is Mo Cheng. It is not wrong to say that I am from the Yunlan Sect. I was fortunate enough to join the Yunlan Sect when I was young, and now I am serving as the outer sect deacon of the sect!"

When Xiao Zhen heard the name Mo Cheng, he already had an idea in his mind. The person who kidnapped Qing Lin was led by a high-level Dou Ling, whose cultivation level just matched that of this old guy.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhen took direct action to control Mo Cheng, not giving the Yunlan Sect any face at all.

The old guy wanted to resist at first, but the difference in cultivation between the two was too great, and he was pinned to the ground before he could even utter a curse.

He used all his fighting spirit to resist, but it was of no use. Now Mo Cheng really looked like an old turtle pinned by a huge rock.

Yunnan's old eyes began to spit fire, and he angrily said, "Xiao Zhen, didn't the old Patriarch Xiao teach you what courtesy is? Deacon Mo didn't mean to threaten you, but you actually attacked him directly!"

In everyone's eyes, Mo Cheng was pinned to the ground by Xiao Zhen just because he threatened the Yunlan Sect.

If you think about it this way, Xiao Zhen was indeed a little impulsive.

Xiao Zhen put one hand on Mo Cheng's forehead and said in a cold voice: "Old man, you'd better be honest. I now suspect that you are the one who took away my daughter Qing Lin.

If you don't want to suffer any more, you'd better tell the truth now, and maybe I will give you a quick death!"

Mo Cheng's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he couldn't help but wonder, is it exposed? Impossible!

When he arrested people, he covered his whole body tightly. Even the two helpers were his confidants who he had cultivated for many years. They were absolutely loyal and would never betray him. He couldn't figure out which link had the loophole no matter how hard he tried.

Yunnan waved his sleeves, and the wind-attributed fighting spirit in his body began to surge out. He held a spear in his hand and threatened, "Xiao Zhen, if you don't let go of Deacon Mo, this elder will take action!"

The noise made by both sides was quite loud and soon attracted the attention of many people. After all, the entire imperial capital was under martial law, and there were many patrol officers on the streets, mainly from the Xiao family.

Xiao Zhan jumped down from the roof and wiped the sweat from his hurried journey.

"Second brother, you are finally back. Did you find any clues about Qinglin?"

Xiao Zhen nodded and sneered, "This old guy I'm pinning to the ground right now is most likely the mastermind. As long as we pry his mouth open, everything will be clear!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan also looked at Mo Cheng angrily and cursed: "Old man, you even dare to arrest people from our Xiao family. It seems that you don't want to live anymore!"

Mo Cheng now also felt the danger coming. The only thing he could rely on was his identity as the outer sect deacon of the Yunlan Sect. If this couldn't hold him back, then his identity as the great elder of the Mo family, one of the four major families in the northeast of the Jiama Empire, would be even less useful.

With his old face shaking constantly, Mo Cheng said in a panic: "This matter really has nothing to do with me. You all have to believe me. I am usually kind and generous, and I am a well-known good person!"

After these words were spoken, Yunnan, who was originally in the same camp as Mo Cheng, felt a little embarrassed. After all, the two had been dealing with each other for many years, and this old guy had done a lot of immoral things, but now he had the nerve to call himself a good person.

Seeing that many of the Xiao family members had gathered, Xiao Zhen waved his hand and gave the order:

"Everyone, go in and search. Whoever finds Qing Lin will be rewarded with a fifth-grade medicinal pill!"

To see how great the temptation of the fifth-grade elixir is, just look at the speed at which the Xiao family disciples act.

Elder Yunnan was about to stop it, but was restrained by a Dou Qi comparable to that of a high-level Dou Huang, making him unable to move for a short period of time.

A trace of despair flashed in Mo Chenglao's eyes. If that girl was really found out, he would probably be doomed even if he had some connection with the Yunlan Sect.

The person kidnapped this time has a high status. That girl with the green snake's three-flower pupil is the adopted daughter of the sixth-rank alchemist Xiao Zhen. Her background is rare in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

If the Xiao family refuses to give up, the Yunlan Sect might take action themselves for the sake of their reputation. In the end, the only difference is which side kills them.

Within an incense's time, hundreds of Xiao family disciples had rushed into the compound, rummaging through drawers and cabinets roughly, and some doors were kicked in pieces.

Hearing the sounds of smashing and looting, Yunnan, who was in charge of the stronghold, gritted his teeth. If he had been able to move, he might have fought with the Xiao family long ago.

Xiao Zhen's eyes began to become gloomy. If Qing Lin was really in this yard, he should be found quickly.

Mo Cheng began to calm his beating heart. He didn't expect that this group of people were so blind. Although they used a wooden box that could prevent soul power from detecting, it was clearly placed in his room, just covered with a layer of black cloth. However, these Xiao family members didn't find anything.

Unknown to everyone, a woman in green clothes, holding a large wooden box in one hand, was moving towards the city wall while avoiding the patrol officers on the streets.

"Xiao Zhen! You really went too far this time. You actually dared to directly search our Yunlan Sect's base."

The Xiao family already knew who was coming. The imperial capital was less than ten miles away from the Yunlan Sect. If someone tipped off the clan, with the speed of a Douhuang expert, they would be able to get here quickly.

Yun Yun's sweet and sweet voice gave reassurance to all the members of the Yunlan Sect present. They had finally received support from the Sect Master.
