Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1247: Saving Life

Tie Hongyan said: "The Taoist priest doesn't know where to find the Yishen Pearl. Did you find it using the Detective Technique?"

Le Yu said, "Yes, I am lucky. In fact, after I knew about this, my grandfather thought that it might be impossible to find such a thing, so he didn't let me look for it. I could only look for it secretly. I went out of Tiecangting several times with my men without my grandfather's knowledge and asked people everywhere. At first, there was no clue at all. I asked around for a long time before I heard that there was a person in a place with something that couldn't be removed on his fingernails. When I found where that person lived, the locals said that the person had just disappeared, and some other people had also disappeared. Several people could prove that there was indeed something on that person's fingernails that couldn't be removed, but no one knew what it was. Later, I learned in that area that some people had disappeared before, and some people said that they heard that a person who had disappeared before was taken to Tiecangting, and then... I was gone. I wondered if that person had also been taken to Tiecang Court, so I rushed back to Tiecang Court with my men. I used the Detective Technique to look for that person in Tiecang Court, and unexpectedly I really saw a person with something growing on his fingernails. That thing was the same as what the abbot had described to me before. At that time, that person and some other people were tied up in a basement. It was at that time that I heard someone in the basement tell them that they were just tools for others to practice martial arts, and they would die soon, and told them not to dream of getting out alive. It was also at that time that I saw the location of the basement where those people were, and some other secret places in Tiecang Court, and learned the location of many basements and how to enter them. "

Tie Hongyan asked: "Then you went to the basement and found that person?"

"Yes, I prepared my things and sneaked there at night. He and others were tied up." Le Yu said.

"Then what?" Tie Hongyan continued to ask.

"Then, I told him what I wanted. He didn't know who I was, but guessed that I was from Tiecang, so he had a bad impression of me. The people around him also hated me. He said that they were all captured there by Tiecang people for no reason. He had known for a long time that the thing on his nails was very important, and he didn't want to give it to me. He even thought I was delusional. I talked to them for a while. I never told them directly whether I was from Tiecang or my identity. They saw that I didn't mean any harm, so they discussed it. They felt that the most important thing was to save their lives and get out alive. Finally, he told me that if I could let go of all those who were captured there, I could get the thing on his nails. He didn't expect that I would agree to take them out." Le Yu said.

Tie Hongyan said: "You said that he had a bad impression of you because he guessed you were from Tiecang, and the people around him also hate you. So what you mean is that these people are all Lanjia people?"

"In fact, the place where the person I visited before lived was a gathering place for blue-armored people. After using the stealth detection technique, I only 'saw' his fingernails and confirmed that he was a blue-armored person. Later, after listening to what they said, I also thought that they were blue-armored people. Under the candlelight, I saw that the fingernails of several other people were also blue. Those people should all be over 25 years old. They should indeed all be blue-armored people." Le Yu said.
