706: Chapter 706 Ye Chenghong’s Secret (8)
Children from various households in Xuandu City have been disappearing one after another!
At first, everyone thought it was the work of human traffickers, but it was later discovered that the children who were found had almost no blood left in their bodies!
This shocking and vicious incident received the utmost attention from the higher-ups of Xuanjin.
Under the shadow of Xuandu City, soone dared to commit such outrageous acts, and the entire leadership was enraged.
Following that, the military mobilized, the police mobilized, and the investigation teams mobilized.
But they found nothing!
During that ti, Ye Chenghong was sending people out every day to search for Yu Hai’s whereabouts.
He knew that the disappearance of the children in Xuandu City must be related to Yu Hai!
But after more than a month, neither the dicine Sect nor the nation had turned up anything!
During that ti, unease spread throughout Xuandu City.
At the start, it was teenagers who were missing, but gradually, children of seven or eight, then five or six, and even newborns in hospitals began to mysteriously disappear.
Such fear lood over the entire city of Xuandu and the Xuanjin region, with parents from every household too afraid to sleep, taking turns keeping watch through the night, fearing that a mont of inattention would lead to the vanishing of their child.
This unease persisted for over two months.
As the common people’s anxiety grew, the nation had no choice but to ask Old Master Gu, Gu Zhongyi, to co out of retirent!
At that ti, Elder Gu had just completed his seclusion, breaking through from the early stage to the mid-level Demigod.
Hearing this news upon his ergence, he agreed to help without a second word.
Latter, Elder Gu and Ye Chenghong joined forces, staking out for over three months and mobilizing all available manpower and resources.
Finally, they followed the trail and uncovered clues regarding Yu Hai.
Everyone rembers the day they caught Yu Hai.
The Xuanjin Army, the Gu Family, and the dicine Sect all deployed, cornering Yu Hai on Phoenix Mountain near Xuandu City.
That day, dark clouds rolled in, and the sky was overcast as if about to collapse.
Yu Hai stood alone at the edge of the highest cliff on Phoenix Mountain, facing the then-young Elder Gu, Ye Chenghong, and the military’s person in charge.
Everyone thought that with the combined strength of Ye Chenghong and Elder Gu, capturing Yu Hai alone would be easy.
But everyone was wrong.
Yu Hai practiced dark sorcery and consud the fresh blood of countless boys and girls.
Over the years, his vile powers accumulated day by day, and he shockingly held his ground against both Ye Chenghong and Elder Gu!
The standoff lasted for quite a while, with sand flying and stones rolling on the cliff, and the whirlwind howling.
The atmosphere was so heavy it was hard to breathe.
Ye Chenghong, Elder Gu, and Yu Hai all suffered injuries, light and severe, and their physical strength gradually began to wane.
However, at that mont, Yu Hai suddenly feinted a move, dodging Elder Gu’s punch and fiercely struck down towards Ye Chenghong!
Ye Chenghong had just evaded Yu Hai’s attack and hadn’t recovered when the strike ca.
If Yu Hai’s palm had hit, Ye Chenghong would have undoubtedly died!
The people of the dicine Sect and Elder Gu watched this dangerous mont, eyes almost bursting with rage, but even at their fastest, they were unable to help.
In that critical instant, a shadow flashed past the onlookers with lightning speed, solidly taking the blow from Yu Hai’s descending palm!
The shadow’s speed was unimaginable.
Even Elder Gu, a Mid-level Demigod, couldn’t get to Ye Chenghong’s side in ti.
But this shadow, it broke through the limits of the human body and succeeded!
Everyone saw clearly, this person truly cared about Ye Chenghong’s life and death.
The mountaintop was eerily quiet, as if ti had stood still.
Ye Chenghong looked dazedly at the person who suddenly appeared before him, reflexively reaching out to hold her falling body.
The person’s sudden ergence left even the always sinister Yu Hai stunned for a mont.
It was that pause, however brief, that enabled Elder Gu to swiftly react, channeling his Inner Breath and striking down fiercely at Yu Hai!
Caught off guard, Yu Hai was hit by Elder Gu’s palm.
Blood sprayed wildly as he traced a stunning arc in the air and tumbled down the cliff!
The death of Yu Hai was so sudden, everyone was sowhat unable to accept it.
The demon who had terrorized them for years was dead, leaving even Elder Gu sowhat at a loss.
The cliff was silent in the chilling wind, with everyone standing quietly in place, not leaving.
Ye Chenghong cradled the person in his arms with utmost care, tears filling his tiger-like eyes.
At that mont, Yu Hai’s death ant nothing to him; he only wished for the person in his arms to co back to life!
“Xiao Yu!
How are you?
Where does it hurt?
I’ll take you back to the dicine Sect, I’ll take you to get treated!” Ye Chenghong trembled all over as he spoke, his voice quivering.
Indeed, the person who had suddenly rushed out and blocked that palm for Ye Chenghong was Yu Rou!
The always eccentric Yu Rou!
At that mont, Yu Rou’s mouth was brimming with blood, and no matter what Ye Chenghong did, he couldn’t stop it.
For the first ti, the usually skilled healer felt a sense of powerlessness over life.
“Ye… Brother Ye, it’s no use, I’m happy…” Yu Rou weakly raised her right hand, slowly placing it on Ye Chenghong’s tear-stained face.
At that ti, her gaze was more clear and serene than it had ever been, no longer clouded with the confusion and madness of the last decade.
