Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Upon entering the territory of Häagen-Dazs, the weather became unusually cold.

Everyone was wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, but Qian Gu Chang Kong was not afraid of the cold.

Since awakening his dragon soul, he has been surrounded by an invisible flame, which is enough to resist the invasion of cold air.

The mine is near Norton Forest, and the group disguises themselves as a caravan and enters the nearest city.

The training team was also placed in the city, but they did not live with Wu Qi and the others.

These guys were incredibly excited when they heard they were going to have a big fight with the Shinsan Sect, and they couldn't wait to set off immediately.

Therefore, Wu Qi had no choice but to assign one of the Soul Douluo powerhouses in the team to keep a close watch on these guys.

That night, Wu Qi and the other two gathered together to discuss the next direction of the investigation.

Qianjun and Jiangmo Douluo are merely henchmen and will not participate in any investigation.

According to the Hall of Offerings, this investigation was to be led and dominated by Wu Qi and the other two, which could also be seen as a test for them.

For Qianjun and Jiangmo Douluo, they would much rather attack Xinshan Sect directly than investigate here.

Qian Gu Chang Kong couldn't help but complain, "Those students are really sick in the head. Damn it, they haven't even figured things out yet, and they're already yelling about fighting. I don't know what's wrong with their brains. Aren't they afraid of dying?"

Wu Qi glanced at him and said irritably, "What, now you know this kind of behavior is unacceptable?"

"When we first came here for training, you all shouted the same thing."

Since participating in the suppression of Qingfeng Village, Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping's personalities have been subtly changed.

They were no longer as impulsive as they were during the Soul Master Competition, and they knew that things couldn't be resolved overnight.

The vast sky gave an awkward smile.

Looking back now, I feel a sense of relief.

Back then, they were just a group of Soul Masters and Soul Venerables. If they really started fighting the New Mountain Sect, it would not benefit them at all, but would only alert the enemy.

“Angkor, where should we begin our investigation? We’ll follow your lead.”

Wu Qi said, "First, find reliable witnesses and collect evidence to find out the extent of the Wu family's involvement before taking action against the Xinshan Sect."

"The second way is for you to disguise yourselves and blend into the mining team to find He Niannian and her father."

The second method is relatively time-consuming and laborious, and the two of them would have to do hard work for a period of time, which is not worth the effort.

Chen Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Captain, why don't we start with the Xinshan Sect directly? Wouldn't it be easier to gather intelligence that way?"

Wu Qi had already considered this problem, and it was completely unfeasible.

Assuming Wu Qinan was deceived, the fact that Xinshan Sect continued to pay him a portion of the mine's revenue each month clearly indicated that they wanted to use the Wu family as a cover.

In this situation, the Xinshan Sect will definitely try its best to conceal the matter, and only the true high-ranking members will know about it.

Even if we capture the higher-ups of the Xinshan Sect, will they necessarily reveal this matter?
They probably want to confirm that the Wu family is colluding with them, so that they can draw attention to the Wu family.

Even if the two sides are indeed secretly in love, it must be done in secret, and only the higher-ups of the Xinshan Sect would know about it.

Listening to Wu Qi's explanation, Qian Gu Chang Kong analyzed, "Why don't we secretly sneak into the vicinity of the mining area and see what's going on?"

"Based solely on the information in the documents, we have no way of knowing where to begin."

That makes sense, but Wu Qi wasn't sure if there were any powerful members of the Xinshan Sect lying in ambush near the mining area.

If they fall into the hands of the Xinshan Sect before they can even make a move, it would be a huge loss.

Wu Qi instructed, "You all wait on the outskirts first. I can fly around the mining area to see what's going on."

……

Without further ado, the three of them secretly headed towards the vicinity of the mine under the cover of night.

Within the kingdom of Häagen-Dazs, everything is a vast expanse of white. It snows year-round here, and everything exposed is covered in a layer of silver.

Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are few. Under the moonlight, everything on the snow-covered ground is easily visible.

According to the information, the three quickly arrived at a hilltop near the mining area.

Wu Qi arranged for Qian Gu Chang Kong and another person to wait nearby for him, while he activated his martial spirit and flew towards the mine ahead.

The two concealed themselves in the vast sky and spoke in hushed tones.

“Chang Kong, I remember that He Niannian and her father were not trapped in the mining area back then.”

Given the circumstances at the time, the fact that He Niannian's father was still able to take his daughter out to hunt for souls proves that she was not restricted in her personal freedom.

If the Shinsan Sect becomes aware of this, they can simply stop mining and dismiss all miners. How can they then investigate?

Their concerns were not unfounded.

Wu Qi flew over the mining area from high above. In his line of sight, there were only a few tents near the mine, and no other people.

Moreover, no campfire was lit in the tents on this cold night.

You should know that such a flimsy tent would freeze to death overnight if a campfire wasn't lit.

According to Wu Qi's observation, there were obvious signs of mining in the mining area. The tools scattered on the ground were not completely covered by snow, indicating that people were still mining here not long ago.

Soon, Wu Qi noticed something amiss.

This mine is rich in minerals, and once the surface ore is exhausted, it is very likely that mining will shift to underground extraction.

If all the workers here were to hide underground, they wouldn't be afraid of the cold.

Looking down from high above, one naturally cannot see the true situation inside the mine.

If the Xinshan Sect members used soul-guided devices to transport ore, it would be even more impossible to detect their presence.

Wu Qi did not give up and continued to circle around the area.

It's also possible that the mining area has more than one exit, and it cannot be ruled out that the Xinshan Sect members used secret passages to transport personnel and supplies.

From the air, Wuqi offers a better view.

Before long, he detected fluctuations in soul power nearby.

He flew toward the direction where he sensed the presence of soul power and quickly discovered the situation.

Below, a group of Soul Masters were chasing someone. Due to the great height, the figures below were barely larger than ants.

Left with no other choice, Wu Qi had to approach and investigate.

If things go wrong, to avoid alerting the enemy, he would have no choice but to kill the group or hasten his escape.

……

"Don't run, little girl. You overheard our conversation, how could we let you leave alive?"

The person being pursued was none other than He Niannian.

Because she was born with level eight soul power, her cultivation speed is very fast. She has now reached the level of a high-level Great Soul Master and has a certain ability to protect herself.

Not long ago, she overheard important information, but when she left, she was discovered by someone relieving themselves, which led to her being hunted down.

In order to protect the miners, she had to take the intelligence out.

But the area was deserted, and the pursuers were certain that no one would bother with their business since they hadn't caught her immediately.

In that case, we might as well enjoy the thrill of the hunt.

"He Guangyi's daughter has grown into a beautiful young woman. We brothers must have a good time later." (End of Chapter)
