Chapter 1176 - 1176 90 Location_2
Chapter 1176: Chapter 90 Location_2 Chapter 1176: Chapter 90 Location_2 “Perhaps it’s not Lu Yu, or perhaps he is chasing after someone?”
Wang Ba frowned.
Qiu Zhongqiu gently shook his head:
“That’s unclear.
I have to stay in the Ghost Market to prevent anyone from the Kingdom of Immortals from coming over.
Martial Uncle Ling Weizi and Hu Zaixi also became anxious, so they simply took the initiative to look for the other party, and the result…”
A heavy feeling sank into Wang Ba’s heart.
He could roughly guess what happened next.
Indeed, he heard Qiu Zhongqiu sigh:
“After they left, they never came back…
Since I had an agreement with them to communicate regularly before they departed to prevent being infiltrated and defeated by the Evil God from the Kingdom of Immortals, when they didn’t reply to my inquiries through the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone shortly after leaving, I knew something had happened!”
“I immediately reported back to the Sect and also offered a reward among the Rogue Cultivators…
...
but there was no harvest.
I believe you are already aware of what happened next, Elder Ji Ying…

Ah.”
Wang Ba quickly pondered in his mind and inquired:
“May I ask, Martial Uncle Qiu, how long after the two Martial Uncles left did you try to contact them?
And when was the last time you contacted them?”
Qiu Zhongqiu understood Wang Ba’s intention and shook his head: “About a day or two.
Supposedly, if they were searching for someone, they wouldn’t move too fast, and the area they covered wouldn’t be too far; they should still be within the boundaries of Sen State.”
“But Elder Du had already searched several times before.
Except for Musen Island, which is near the Kingdom of Immortals and has some oddities that make it inconvenient for a thorough search, almost everywhere else has been scoured without finding any trace of them.”
“Could they be on Musen Island?”
Wang Ba’s eyebrows furrowed.
Qiu Zhongqiu refuted Wang Ba’s guess:
“It should not be.
Since the incident with Fanming, Musen Island has been personally sealed by Elder Zhang Songnian of the Longevity Sect.
Should anyone enter or exit, there would certainly be an alarm.”
Wang Ba frowned thoughtfully and then suddenly said:
“Did the two Martial Uncles ever mention where that Rogue Cultivator who possibly saw ‘Lu Yu’ was located when he saw him?”
This time Qiu Zhongqiu remained silent, slightly bowing his head, as if pondering something.
Wang Ba did not urge further but quietly waited.
After a long while, Qiu Zhongqiu finally raised his head and said solemnly:
“Regarding this question, Elder Du Wei had asked me before.
But at that time, I had not found that Rogue Cultivator, so I was also not clear.
However, not long ago, I managed to find this person.”
Wang Ba’s expression remained unchanged, yet his heart couldn’t help but stir as he focused intently on the other party.
Qiu Zhongqiu seemed to be deliberating on how to phrase his words, speaking slowly:
“According to this person, he encountered the Sword Cultivator suspected to be ‘Lu Yu’ to the north, in a location somewhat close to Fu State.”
“Near Fu State?”
Wang Ba’s eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
Within the boundaries of Sen State, close to Fu State, that range was quite large.
“What is the exact location?”
Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask.
Ling Weizi and Hu Zaixi went to search for Lu Yu, so they must have gone to the place where that Rogue Cultivator saw ‘Lu Yu’ to investigate.
If they could find that location, they might be able to find clues about Ling Weizi and Hu Zaixi.
Who knew that Qiu Zhongqiu would shake his head directly:
“I don’t know.”
Wang Ba’s brow furrowed:
“May I ask where that person is now?
Perhaps he could guide me.”
Qiu Zhongqiu said helplessly:
“Afraid he won’t be able to guide, that person disappeared afterward too.”
Wang Ba was instantly stunned and couldn’t help but look straight at Qiu Zhongqiu.
As their gazes met, Qiu Zhongqiu’s eyes were frank, without a hint of evasiveness.
After a silence, Wang Ba ultimately didn’t bring up that Rogue Cultivator again and slowly spoke:
“Does Martial Uncle Qiu have anything else to teach me?”
Qiu Zhongqiu shook his head:
“I have told the Chief Division Master everything I know.
It’s just regretful that with the Kingdom of Immortals stirring, I cannot personally go to search for the two Martial Brothers.”
Wang Ba fell silent again for a while, then slowly stood up:
“If Martial Uncle Ling Weizi and Martial Uncle Hu Zaixi knew of Martial Uncle Qiu’s concern, they would surely be grateful…
Sen State has the responsibility of jointly defending against the Kingdom of Immortals, and Martial Uncle Qiu has a heavy burden.
Wang Ba will not disturb you further, so I will take my leave now.”
Qiu Zhongqiu showed a hint of regret: “It’s a pity that I haven’t had the chance to drink merrily with the Chief Division Master.”
He did not try to detain him.
“There will be other days.”
Wang Ba smiled and promptly walked out of the banquet hall.
The instant he left the hall, the smile on his face disappeared.
“Chief Division Master.”
Li Yingfu, who stood at the door, sensed something was amiss and immediately inquired with a vigilant transmission.
“Let’s head toward Fu State first.”
Wang Ba’s voice was as deep as a bell.
Though Li Yingfu did not understand what had happened, he knew there must be a reason, quickly summoning a Flying Boat.
Wang Ba then flew onto it.
Looking back below, he was precisely meeting Qiu Zhongqiu’s gaze as he emerged from the hall.
Qiu Zhongqiu showed a warm smile and bowed slightly in farewell to Wang Ba.
Wang Ba stood at the bow of the boat, returning the bow.
Soon, the Flying Boat swiftly vanished from Qiu Zhongqiu’s line of sight.
A complicated and difficult-to-understand expression crossed Qiu Zhongqiu’s eyes.
Then he finally made up his mind, took out the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone in his hand, and infused it with mana.
In the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone, a somewhat surprised voice soon came through:
“Zhong Qiu, are you looking for me?”
Even though it was through two Spirit Rhinoceros Stones, Qiu Zhongqiu instinctively stood straight respectfully, bowing his head slightly and said:
“Yes, Du…
I have finally found the location where that Rogue Cultivator saw ‘Lu Yu’.
It’s roughly at the border of Sen State, Li State, and Xiang State.”
What do you think?
