Chapter 583  Investigation.

The people exchanged glances and nodded. Shi Lang said, "We move in two teams, and we must always carry a communications talisman. If we come across any troublesome situation, call for help. I do not wish to see your pride stepping in and jeopardizing the lives of everyone beside you. Do you agree to it?"

Shi Lang was blunt, making the rest of the group look at him in a new light. Shi Lang was a stern leader. He did not mind putting up lines between his status as the leader and their as followers to assure their safety.

They all smiled and nodded to him. Liang Ping said, "Team leader, do you have any specific instructions for us?"

Shi Lang was embarrassed but knew it was not time for him to hesitate. He said, "Senior Brother Hu Shan will look into the mysterious immortal expert in the south. I think Senior Sister Bai Yan should pair with him. They can balance each other, and while Senior Brother is good at observation and analysis, Senior Sister can make people talk and extract critical information."

The two people nodded. Similarly, Shi Lang divided them into pairs, Liang Ping and Xu Guang were a team, and Wen Lengxue paired up with himself.

Shi Lang will interrogate the camp\'s leader, and Liang Ping and Xu Guang will talk with the people in the periphery. Shi Lang wanted them to find the details that could prove to them that Shi Ning was in the direction the map claimed to be. After dividing the tasks, the teams distributed and moved to finish them.

...

Shi Lang and Wen Lengxue entered the camp after the guard informed them that the guard vice-captain was ready to see them. The camp was like any ordinary military outpost.

However, Shi Lang noticed that the tent they were being led to the center of the camp. This place was where the most prestigious officer used to stay.

The two people looked at each other and followed the guard silently. Upon reaching the tent, Shi Lang frowned with disgust. Wen Lengxue asked, "What is this smell?"

The Terran replied, "It is better if you do not know."

Wen Lengxue was surprised by his reply, but she spotted a girl with disheveled attire running out of the tent the next moment. Shi Lang said, "Do not hold back if you wish to beat him up later. Just don\'t kill him."

The young lady was shocked and did not expect Shi Lang to say something like this. One must know she was a cultivator and could kill the guy if he were too weak. She asked, "Are you sure?"

Shi Lang nodded, and they arrived at the tent. The guard hesitated and said, "Vice Captain, the immortal cultivators have come over."

A grumpy voice sounded inside the tent, "Ugh, what immortals? They are just a bit stronger than me. Let them in."

The guard was covered with cold sweat. The vice-captain was drunk, and he was not in his senses. However, before he had the time to clarify things with Shi Lang, the terran had pushed open the tent and walked inside.

Wen Lengxue followed him and realized that the tent was already surrounded by a barrier that isolated sound from the outside. She looked at the surroundings and found that the place was a mess. This unclean arrangement brought an involuntary frown on her face. She looked at the so-called Vice-Captain and found it to be an average-looking young man.

From his red and tired eyes, it was evident that he was intoxicated. Wen Lengxue turned to look at Shi Lang, gazing at the man like a tiger watching its prey running around the forest.

She was scared. She did not know why, but the fear erupted from the depth of her being.

She asked, "Junior Brother Shi?"

The terran did not look at her, but he nodded and asked, "Vice-Captian, can you tell what you know about the situation of Captain Shi Ning?"

The dazed young man raised his head and suddenly glared at Shi Lang before he said, "You are asking me about that bitch? Who the fuck are you? Do you think you can throw your weight around like her just because you have a higher realm than me? I will tell you now. That bitch is already dead. She must have been fucked dry by those demonic cunts."

Shi Lang frowned his brows, and then he stepped forward. The next moment, a streak of lightning hit the Vice Captian, and the intoxicated expression on his face vanished in a blink.

Wen Lengxue emitted her pressure, and the temperature inside the tent dropped significantly. The vice-captain was shocked, and he shivered. He realized that these people were not ordinary.

He shivered and asked, "Who are you, exalted immortals?"

Shi Lang said, "You do not have to bother about that. Please answer my question first. What do you know about Shi Ning?"

This time, the man did not utter profanities and said, "Captain Shi Ning was sent here to relieve the old captain and look into the cause of the disorder in this region. She found that a few Demonic Cultivators were responsible for this."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Go on."

The man replied, "Captain Shi Ning got a lead a few days ago, and then she decided to follow it. She took a dozen guards with her, and there has been no news of them since then."

Shi Lang nodded, and Wen Lengxue asked, "Did you not initiate any investigation to look for her?"

Her calm voice was akin to an allure to his touch. The young man had been so focused on Shi Lang that he did not notice Wen Lengxue standing inside the tent. One sight of her face and he was hooked to her. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

The lust in his heart was so strong that it reflected in his eyes. He imagined things he should not have when he sensed a cold feeling originating from his hand. He looked down and found his left hand cut below the elbow. The young man could not fathom what had just happened, and a strong pain assaulted him.

He screamed and fell to the ground with a twisted face. He squirmed all over the place, and blood poured on the ground. Shi Lang stopped his bleeding, saying, "Senior Sister, you are so violent."

Wen Lengxue said, "I disgust pests like these. I cannot help but deal a death blow to them, but I stayed put because you need him. Otherwise, I would have taken his head off his shoulders."

Shi Lang sighed, and looking at the young man, he asked, "Did you learn your lesson? Or shall I let her continue?"

The man shook his head and apologized frantically, "No, no, please forgive me. I will tell you everything."

Shi Lang smiled, and the young man began talking to him

…

Hu Shan and Bai Yan were walking through the woods slowly. They did not seem to be investigating at first. But their spiritual sense was overlapping, and they were looking for clues. The exalted immortal they were told about must have been through these woods.

Bai Yan took a small compass from her space ring, and Hu Shan raised his brow, "Demon Locating Compass?"

Bai Yan nodded and said, "Master said that one should always carry them."

Hu Shan agreed with her and said, "I wonder if this exalted immortal is a demonic cultivator, or is it some renegade cultivator trying to do their bit of good in this twisted world."

Bai Yan smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Hu, I did not take you for an optimistic."

Hu Shan shook his head and replied, "I am not optimistic, but I do hope for a better future. I do not think anything is wrong with that."

Bai Yan nodded. She wanted to say something when the compass in her hand shivered. She stopped and said, "Your hope has yet to manifest. We have something."

Hu Shan noticed the compass reacting and sighed. It turned out that the exalted immortal they were looking for was a demonic cultivator. The two exchanged gazes, and Bai Yan took out a communicating Talisman. She passed a message to everyone.

Liang Ping and Xu Guang were mingling with the commoners in the valley town when they received the message. The two did not find anything interesting other than the basic details of the said cultivator.

They decided to join the two people as backups and confront them just in case. Shi Lang and Wen Lengxue thought the same when Shi Lang said, "Senior Sister, you head over to them. I will look for Shi Ning. My heart is unsettled."

Wen Lengxue nodded, and they parted ways. The intuition of a cultivator was not to be overlooked.
