Chapter 2941 - 2942: Night Investigation
Chapter 2941: Chapter 2942: Night Investigation
He knew this Nai Yingying wouldn’t lie; he was just too anxious.
But when he thought of the dense deity aura around that Elder Shen, Xue An’s heart was like being roasted.
What exactly did these bastards do to him?
Perhaps noticing Xue An’s anxiety, Nai Yingying chuckled, stood straight up from her chair, finally aligning with Xue An.
"If you’re really that anxious, do you have the guts to explore this Senluo Valley with me at night?"
Xue An’s eyes lit up, without any hesitation, he immediately nodded and said, "Alright!"
No time to waste, let’s get on with it.
The two rested briefly in the room, waiting until the sky outside dimmed and lights ignited in the distance; only then did they rise.
Xue An didn’t mention this matter to anyone, not even Jin Shanquan knew.
Because he didn’t want to cause other unnecessary troubles.
Besides, it’s just a preliminary exploration; there shouldn’t be any issues.
When the two emerged from the guest courtyard, it was already pitch black outside.
Because the valley was shielded by two mountain peaks, the light rarely reached in, making it appear even darker.
However, this darkness provided natural camouflage for Xue An and Nai Yingying’s actions.
A top master of the Human Clan and a mysterious girl from the Evil Entity camp, one person and one demon silently traversed the darkness.
Countless patrolling teams were encountered along the way, but how could these ordinary disciples possibly detect the presence of Xue An and Nai Yingying?
Thus, the two safely entered the core area of Senluo Valley without any incidents.
This was also the widest part of the entire valley, with row upon row of houses lining the road, mostly illuminated inside, sometimes accompanied by sounds of laughter and conversation.
However, the conversation was mostly about cultivation, likely from the disciples of Senluo Valley.
Such places naturally wouldn’t yield much, so the two unhesitatingly passed through, eventually entering the very center of Senluo Valley.
The houses here were peculiar, as they were all built upon giant stones.
These stones were likely remnants from avalanches from the surrounding mountains; even the smallest ones were at least ten stories tall, while the largest resembled small mountains.
Palace-like buildings stood upon these giant stones, showcasing their extraordinary status.
If the guess is correct, this should be where Senluo Valley’s high-level personnel reside.
Xue An glanced at Nai Yingying, who shook her head, indicating that their journey revealed nothing.
The only option was to continue forward, but the path ahead would be extremely perilous.
Because those residing here were undoubtedly the elites of Senluo Valley. Although Xue An’s power was formidable, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
Otherwise, if their presence were discovered, all prior efforts would be in vain.
Xue An understood this well, stepping forward with great caution.
In comparison, Nai Yingying was much more at ease, thanks to her inherent racial talents.
As long as she didn’t want to be discovered, ordinary methods could hardly detect her.
Thus, she leisurely followed behind Xue An, not in a hurry.
If it were simply a matter of passing through this residential area, it wouldn’t be too difficult, but to be thorough and not miss any suspicious signs, Xue An approached each giant stone for detection.
This naturally increased the difficulty.
Yet Xue An hesitated not a bit, carefully floating through the night sky.
The entire process didn’t disturb a single air current.
One stone, two stones, three stones...
With the progression of detection, the entire process revealed nothing.
Xue An’s expression gradually became solemn.
Indeed, this matter was not so simple.
He had already scanned most of Senluo Valley but hadn’t found even a single clue.
Could it be that these guys had already moved him?
These thoughts flashed through Xue An’s mind but were immediately dismissed.
That’s unlikely!
After all, Senluo Valley gained its fame largely relying on his might.
Thus, to maximize their leverage, these guys would undoubtedly keep him in their headquarters.
This was indisputable.
Just then, Xue An suddenly heard a cold voice from the palace perched on a central giant stone.
"Hmph, did the Wu Family bring some recruited young strongman to flaunt in our Senluo Valley?"
This voice made Xue An halt, as the speaker was the Elder Shen who received his group during the day.
But now, this Elder Shen no longer bore the immortal aura; instead, his face twisted menacingly.
"Elder, calm down! Mere small fry, not worth mentioning!" a pointy-faced man quickly said.
"Hmph, my anger is not towards Wu Family; regardless of their dealings, it’s all just posturing anyway. Since their former Family Head passed away, Wu Family’s been on a decline these years, much less now when even the former Family Head is dead, leaving a snotty-nosed kid who’s no threat at all!"
"My anger is towards the audacity of Wu Family’s recruit, daring to defy even me, and I dislike the way he looked at me!"
"Then what do you suggest...?"
"Tomorrow, the Valley Master will summon them; I plan to have your Senior Sister teach that youngster a lesson!"
"Such trivial matters needn’t trouble my Senior Sister; leave it to me!" the pointy-faced man confidently said.
"Bah, you’re not up to it!" Elder Shen shook his head, "You’re not his match; leave it to Yi’er!"
With that, Elder Shen suddenly sighed, "If Sheng En were still alive, we wouldn’t have to resort to having a woman handle it!"
Upon hearing the name Sheng En, Xue An, eavesdropping outside, had a sudden realization, understanding it referred to the Tang Sheng’en he killed.
"Elder, please don’t be upset; once we figure out who killed Brother Tang, we’ll surely flay them alive!" the pointy-faced man said viciously.
"Ah, hopefully, we’ll uncover it soon!"
Nearing the end, the conversation offered no valuable insights, and Xue An didn’t want to alert the enemy, so he quietly left and moved towards the next stone.
This was an average-sized stone with houses atop differing from others, entirely pink and exquisitely crafted, unmistakably a woman’s residence.
Xue An initially disliked eavesdropping near a lady’s domicile, yet unwilling to overlook any suspicious points, he inevitably arrived.
Just at the threshold, he heard the sound of water splashing alongside a cold female voice.
"Huan’er, bring me the comb!"
