Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!-Chapter 1586 - 364: Bright Peak (Happy New Year)

"Where’s the city exit?"

At this moment, Ming Yuzhen from the Tang Sect asked, and as soon as he spoke, Elder Shu said, "All key routes out of Lantian have been sealed. There’s no way Chen Jiusi could have slipped out under our noses."

Upon hearing this, Qi Chun frowned and said, "That’s strange. We’ve searched every place in Lantian County where he could have hidden, but there’s no trace of Chen Jiusi, and he hasn’t left the city. Could this person have vanished into thin air?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Indeed, how could he simply vanish?

But without vanishing, they’ve set up a Heaven and Earth Net, practically checking each household, surveying the whole of Lantian, and still couldn’t find any trace of Chen Jiusi. Where could he have gone?

Isn’t this strange?

Thinking this way, everyone remained puzzled.

But just then, Elder Hua suddenly spoke up, "If we really can’t find a trace of Chen Jiusi, is it possible that he has died in some corner of Lantian and perhaps even been devoured by wild beasts, making him impossible to find?"

"What?"

After Elder Hua finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. Qi Chun looked toward Second Master Tang and said, "Tang Sect Master, Chen Jiusi was hit with your Tang Sect’s Secret Skill, Blood Devouring poison. Do you think he might have died in some mountain ravine? What’s the likelihood of his survival?"

Tang Feng remained silent for a moment and then said, "Blood Devouring Poison is one of the Three Devourings, a secret skill of our Tang Sect."

"As it stands, in nearly a thousand years, only one person has survived the poison, yet even that person was left permanently handicapped and unable to move, so I believe the chances of his death are quite high."

"However, Chen Jiusi practices the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor, which have a long heritage. I fear there may be something extraordinary that saved Chen Jiusi’s life."

"If everyone truly can’t find him, then I feel it’s highly probable that the person is already dead."

Upon hearing this, everyone paused, exchanged glances, and agreed that Tang Feng made a valid point. After all, with the Blood Devouring poison, only one person in the past thousand years survived. How could Chen Jiusi be so lucky to become the second?

Moreover, as Tang Feng said, that person ultimately ended up permanently handicapped. How could someone like that escape their Heaven and Earth Net?

So, by ruling out all impossibilities, there’s only one possibility: Chen Jiusi is dead and likely has been devoured by mountain beasts.

Thinking this way, everyone increasingly believed in this likelihood in the rivers.

While everyone was contemplating, suddenly, the sound of galloping horses reached them. Not long after, a guard wearing Prince Mansion attire rushed in, bowed, and said, "Everyone, the Prince has commanded, head north to Bright Peak immediately; the court army has already entered our Shanxi territory."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up. Qi Chun looked at everyone and said, "Alright, since there is an order from the Prince, we won’t pursue Chen Jiusi dead or alive. Gather the troops and head north to Bright Peak promptly."

"Yes!"

Everyone clasped their fists in agreement.

Meanwhile, beneath Bright Peak, a carriage creaked as it approached. On the carriage, Chen Jie gazed at the towering summit that reached into the clouds. Amidst the fog, Chen Jie seemed to glimpse several structures, emanating a sense of majesty, akin to the Heaven.

This is the holy site for all Cult Members of the Zoroastrian Sect, Bright Peak!

"Hey, hey, Miss Liu, stop sleeping, we’ve arrived at Bright Peak!"

Chen Jie said to Liu Caidie inside the carriage behind him.
