C168 Hundreds of Thousands of People Are Missing

The two of them entered a restaurant. After all, Qinggu City was different from the rich and powerful Pingxing City, Xia Ling didn't plan to specifically find high-end restaurants. Actually, the dishes from that day in Jiangtong Restaurant were also quite ordinary.

Thirty thousand years ago, Xia Ling had eaten a lot of precious food.

"Dear guests, what about you two?" Just as Xia Ling stepped through the door, a waiter who looked smart came over and greeted him with a smile.

Bai Lou nodded and said, "Two people, find a quiet place near the window."

"Sure, please!"

Not long after the two of them sat down, the dishes were served.

Bai Lou didn't act reserved in front of Xia Ling and quickly finished her meal. The young lady snapped her fingers confidently, "Waiter!"

The waiter's reaction was especially quick. With a smile on his face, he jogged up to them and said, "Okay, my two guests. Your meal is a total of …"

Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Lou stretched out her hand to interrupt him, smiled and said, "Wait a moment." I still have some things to ask you. You have a reward too. "

Then she smiled slyly and said, "Also, he paid the bill." The girl pointed at Xia Ling.

The waiter respectfully smiled along, repeatedly saying, "Please ask, please ask."

Bai Lou thought for a moment and whispered, "Is there a sect called Su Anshan on your side?"

Hearing the three words "Su Anshan", the smiling waiter suddenly froze and became embarrassed. He lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice. "Why are you asking about this? Are you a foreigner?"

The young girl raised her small face and said with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong, can't foreigners do it?"

"No no," the waiter hurriedly explained, "It's nothing, it's just …" "Su Anshan..."

Saying that, his voice dropped again, "Why do you want to know about this sect? "Customer, if you are curious, I advise you to give up this idea."

"Su Anshan is a big sect and, furthermore, he values his reputation a lot..." This sentence was obviously thought out by the waiter after some deliberation, "The eyes and ears must be spread all over the city. "If we just ask around, it might be because we're disrespectful to Su Anshan, right?"

However, this waiter did not know. In reality, Bai Lou's question meant that she was luring the snake out of its hole.

That night, Xia Ling and Bai Lou found out Su Anshan's exact location from Liu Jiachuan's mouth. However, they did not intend to barge in directly.

Even Xia Ling did not have such crazy thoughts. As a large sect that was able to establish itself within the Middle North, Su Anshan's strength could be counted on one hand in the entire world. There was bound to be experts at the Essencial Core Rank and with Xia Ling's current strength, he was unable to contend against them.

Of course, as a Demon Cultivation Sect, Su Anshan's strength on the surface was far inferior to those sects of the same level. Reportedly, it was an expert who had not stepped into the Empty Meditative Rank. If there really was a cultivator with Empty Meditative Rank, Xia Ling wouldn't have brought Bai Lou here no matter what.

As someone who had once stood at the peak of all cultivators, Xia Ling was well aware of the overwhelming power Essencial Core Rank that other cultivators had. This was a difference that could not be ignored in terms of realm and completely different Congealing Void levels.

Even he himself.

Luckily, Su Anshan wasn't that exaggerated. But Xia Ling and Bai Lou still intended to be safe.

Right now, they are asking for information in the hopes of getting Su Anshan's underlings to join them as much as possible. If he could catch another survivor, the next step would be much more convenient, no matter where he went.

Moreover, the cultivation of this kind of Eyewitness Disciple was definitely not very high. As long as they were below the Congealing Void rank, not to mention Xia Ling, even Bai Lou could easily subdue them.

Bai Lou looked at the slightly nervous waiter and asked, knowing the answer, "What, is this sect very scary?"

Obviously, this waiter had never seen a customer who was so determined to get to the bottom of things. However, the unique mentality of the waiter made him reveal something else.

The waiter looked around and saw that the surroundings seemed to be filled with ordinary customers. There shouldn't be any problems. He lowered his voice to its lowest pitch and said:

"I won't say anything else." Every five years, the men in their prime, who were near the Qinggu City, would mysteriously disappear at a large scale at a certain time. It was said that it has been like this since a long time ago, and it was Su Anshan's beginning and end. " "The description of this waiter appeared very mysterious." You think, my two guests, that such a large population is missing? There are large families and famous sects and schools in the Qinggu City as well …

"After so many years, there hasn't been a single person who dares to speak!"1

Missing population? Could it be that his Demon Cultivation Sect was conducting some kind of human experiment? Xia Ling thought like this in his heart, he had also seen such a similar Demon Cultivation Sect back then.

"What's the approximate number of people going missing each time?" Bai Lou asked casually.

The waiter continued to whisper, "There should be at least hundreds and thousands of them …"

Hiss! The young woman could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. She had originally thought that the magic elementalist organization would only capture a few dozen people to conduct an experiment. I didn't expect so much!

If hundreds and thousands of men in their prime were to disappear at once, the number of families, tens of thousands of people, and businesses would be involved!

With such a grand display of power, how could no one from the noble clans interfere? Su Anshan's influence had reached such a stage!

"Every five years. So many have gone missing. " Bai Lou said in disbelief, "Then why are you staying here? Don't you feel afraid? "

"Customer, you must be joking," the waiter replied, and helplessly said, "How can it be so easy to get married in this day and age? I can walk by myself, but what about my home? What about the elderly? If you leave your hometown, do you want to sleep on the streets? "

"Anyway, I'm not a robust person, so I probably won't fulfill their request, right? "Hehe."

Bai Lou was silent for a moment. This was the helplessness of an ordinary person without a cultivation base in the face of their own environment. Even though he was aware that he was in danger, he could only hold onto his feelings of luck. He could not change his mind in the slightest.

"So please be careful, my two guests," the waiter said, trying to end this topic, "It's been five years since the last time the population went missing. Although none of you are able-bodied, grown men, you may have been in a state of disarray lately, so be careful. "

Bai Lou nodded, stood up and said to Xia Ling, "Then let's go."

Xia Ling suddenly felt empty his luggage for money. He stared blankly for a moment, before suddenly recalling something.

"You didn't absorb all the money on me, did you?" Amongst the Primordial Spirit, Xia Ling connected to the Old Dragon Sword and roared softly.

If he remembered correctly, Xia Ling should have only allowed this Dragon of the River to absorb the Jade Scallop!

"Ah... I was, you know, Lord Sword Emperor. "It's been so many years since I've replenished them, I can't help it at all..." The voice of the old dragon explained carefully amongst the Primordial Spirit.

All of these, even Xia Ling was stunned. Last night, this Dragon of the River had actually absorbed all of his money in one breath!

It had to be known that Xia Ling not only brought Jade Scallop with him, but when they left Wei Xianli's home, this young master even gave Xia Ling a huge amount of money!

Seeing Xia Ling not taking out the money for a long time, Bai Lou felt a little strange. Just then, she heard Xia Ling say helplessly: "This time, the money …" Why don't you pay for it? "
