Chapter 412 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Sixty-Two)

Cuiyun asked doubtfully, "Master Qingyang, what should we do? Doesn't Baiyun Temple have a large formation set up by the Imperial Master? Although it hasn't been transformed into a killing formation, it's just a maze. But once you enter the formation, you'll notice it. How could someone sneak in?"

Qing Yangzi stood at the edge of the cliff, calculated with his fingers, and then took a look at the terrain. He frowned and said, "According to Cai Shuang, the person who captured Junior Sister might be from the Wu clan. But he could also be an evil cultivator who has gone astray. He should be carrying something to conceal his whereabouts, perhaps a talisman."

"I've heard from the Empress that the deceased Consort Ming was the young leader of the Wu Clan, but she had no martial arts skills and her body was no different from that of an ordinary person. If she was a member of the Wu Clan, then could this thief be even more powerful than their young leader?"

"It's hard to draw conclusions right now. The cliff is steep. The fact that this person was confident enough to jump into the abyss with a pregnant woman must have something to rely on."

Cuiyun tried to remain calm and said, "Could it be that the thief didn't escape from the cliff at all? He's hiding near the Taoist temple right now. How could he survive after jumping off the cliff? Moreover, he was with his master, so he probably wouldn't dare to risk his own life."

Qing Yangzi shook his head and said, "You underestimate the abilities of us cultivators. Even for cultivators, even for martial artists with high martial arts skills, there's at least a 50% chance of survival after jumping off a cliff. But your guess is possible. Let's split up and I'll go down first to take a look."

After saying that, Qing Yangzi swung the whisk in his hand, and the whisk instantly became one meter long.

Qing Yangzi stood on the whisk, drove it, and looked for Cui Li's trace below the cliff.

For the first time, Cuiyun discovered that the whisk in Taoist Qingyang's hand was extraordinary. It could even carry Taoist Qingyang down the cliff. It seemed that she was too ignorant.

Without thinking too much, she asked the rest of the people to search Baiyun Temple again, in case the thieves did not escape from the cliff, but waited for a time when the defense was weak before leaving.

Qing Yangzi picked up a piece of torn red cloth from the crevice of the cliff. Judging from the pattern of the fabric, it was exactly the corner of the dress Cui Li was wearing today.

When Qing Yangzi reached the bottom of the cliff, he indeed found some broken headdresses on the ground, perhaps they had fallen during the descent.

There was a river at the foot of the cliff, and there were obvious traces of a boat parked on the river bank. Judging from the marks on the mud, the boat had just left. So Qingyangzi sat on his whisk and walked downstream, speeding all the way, but he did not see any boat.

That boat was obviously small, so it shouldn't have been very fast. Did he change boats midway? Or did he dock?

He originally wanted to find Cui Li based on the scent of her clothes and headdresses, but he lost track of her on the river.

The person who took away Junior Sister also knew something about Qing Yangzi! That person deliberately concealed Cui Li's aura.

Qing Yangzi knew that his Taoism was not very profound, and even if he lit the Xunying incense, he could not use the essence of heaven and earth to see the scene before his junior sister disappeared, and thus find her whereabouts.

He immediately rushed back, and after flying up from the bottom of the cliff, Qingyangzi immediately told others about the situation below the cliff.

Cai Xin took out the bone flute to pass on the message, and immediately a secret guard reported the matter of Baiyun Temple to the emperor.

Liang Sheng, who was far away in the palace, had already changed into casual clothes and asked Le Chang to prepare gifts before leaving the palace. Suddenly, he received this news and stepped on a corner of the stone steps and broke them.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Who dares to kidnap Li'er? I will make sure they die a miserable death."

The secret guard, kneeling on one knee, said, "Your Majesty, Cai Shuang said that during the battle, the man revealed himself to be a member of the Wu clan. Judging from the strange bloodstains and the strength of his body, he bears some resemblance to Wu Meng, who once faked his death. However, it is also possible that this is false information deliberately leaked by the enemy to mislead us."

Liang Sheng sneered, "The people who attacked the Imperial Concubine at this critical moment are none other than the Ji and Qi countries. Since they don't want to live anymore, then go to hell. Destroy the Qi and Ji countries' strongholds in the capital and arrest them for interrogation."

"Yes, I obey the order."

"Urgently dispatch forces to search for the Imperial Concubine along the river, extending from the capital to the surrounding towns. Strictly investigate anyone missing, especially those from Qi and Ji. Contact our spies in both countries and have them pay close attention to any news about the Imperial Concubine. If the Imperial Concubine is found and the two sides engage in battle, you must ensure the safety of the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor's son."

The captain of the secret guards received the order and left the palace immediately.

An hour later, several shops and courtyards in Liangdu were surrounded by the imperial guards. Some people wanted to escape when they saw that the situation was not good, but were held at knifepoint at the back door.

"Take them all back. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
