The Team Had Disappeared

Xiao Fan followed the direction Jian Qingfeng and the others had left in, but he couldn't find a single person.

Where did you go?

As darkness fell completely, Xiao Fan grew increasingly anxious.

"Could they have been tricked by the people from City of Kings?"

In the past, Xiao Fan would never have thought this way.

After all, Jian Qingfeng was quite strong, and the other twenty-eight people were all advanced professionals. There was no way they could lose to those bastards from City of Kings.

But now that Shen Long has colluded with Quan Zhong, who knows if Quan Zhong still has that mysterious cage that captured him before?

Xiao Fan felt a little regretful; he should have created a skill that could locate people.

Jian Qingfeng and the others disappeared without a trace.

"Oh right, I remember Ye Bugu seems to have a skill for finding people."

Xiao Fan suddenly remembered that when he asked Ye Bugu to find his uncle, he heard from people on the forum that Ye Bugu had a special skill: he was very good at finding people.

"Try contacting him."

Xiao Fan opened the Friends Channel and was about to send a message to Ye Bugu when he received a message from Zhou He.

"Jiu Chen, are you alright now?"

Xiao Fan was taken aback. Zhou He's tone suggested he knew about the incident. Could it be that Jian Qingfeng had told him? Did Zhou He know where Jian Qingfeng had gone?

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief and replied.

"I'm fine now. I've already obtained the token for the city upgrade. By the way, where did Lord Qingfeng and the others go? I can't get in touch with them."

Zhou He replied instantly.

"I'm glad you're alright. We'll talk about Qingfeng when you get back."

Xiao Fan frowned; Zhou He's tone was a bit off.

"Could something have happened to Jian Qingfeng and the others?"

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Without giving it much thought, Xiao Fan left the Monster Region, summoned his Red Hare Steed, and headed towards Dragon City.

With his current strength, he has no fear of danger when traveling at night in areas ranging from level 20 to 99.

When Xiao Fan returned to Dragon City, it was already late at night. He immediately summoned his wings and flew inside.

The players guarding the city were on patrol when they suddenly saw a figure with golden wings overhead, and were so frightened that they almost thought a flying Fierce Beast had invaded.

Just as he was about to sound the alarm, he saw the golden figure fly in front of him; it looked somewhat familiar.

"It's me," Xiao Fan said to the guard.

"Ah, Your Jiu Chen Jiuchen... How... How is it you?"

The players defending the city finally recognized Xiao Fan.

In the past few days, Xiao Fan had been following Jian Qingfeng and the others out of the city, and the players guarding the city had seen him many times.

Only...

He stared in shock at the wings behind Xiao Fan.

My mind was filled with thoughts like, "Could it be that Jiu Chen is really a cheat code as rumored? Otherwise, how could he grow such large wings?"

"Yeah, I just got back to the city. I saw the city gates were closed, so I flew in myself. I have some urgent business to attend to, so I'll be going now."

After Xiao Fan finished speaking, he spread his wings and flew into the city.

"Okay... okay..."

The guard stared blankly at Xiao Fan's departing figure.

"When did the game release wings? They're so cool, I really want them..."

After returning to the city, Xiao Fan went straight to find Zhou He.

"Brother Zhou, what exactly happened? Where is Lord Qingfeng?"

As soon as Xiao Fan saw Zhou He, he couldn't wait to ask him anything.

Zhou He first looked Xiao Fan up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was alright.

After Jian Qingfeng told him that Xiao Fan might be in trouble that afternoon, Zhou He was completely distraught.

Xiao Fan can be considered the most brilliant genius on the entire Blue Star after the invasion of the Cloud Sea.

His death was a loss for the entire planet.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan didn't really die...

A level 300 Magic Beast! How did he manage to escape?

Although Zhou He was shocked, now was not the time to talk about these things.

"Qingfeng and the others have gone missing."

Speaking of this, Zhou He's face was full of anxiety.

"Disappeared?" Xiao Fan's tone was full of disbelief.

From the moment Jian Qingfeng and the others escaped to the moment he broke free from the Fairy Fish, less than ten minutes had passed.

How did they disappear?

"Brother Zhou, what exactly happened?" Xiao Fan asked hurriedly.

Zhou He shook his head.

"I don't know the specifics; Shen Long told me about it."

"Shen Long?"

This was an answer Xiao Fan hadn't expected.

Shen Long's relationship with the authorities has always been delicate.

Previously, due to the Black Fog rules of the Real World, there was competition but no hatred between the two sides, and many secret realms were even completed through cooperation between them.

However, since Xiao Fan entered the game, the official power has increased dramatically, while the Shen Sect has gradually declined. In addition, due to the previous incident of lightning striking the City of Kings, the official side directly sided with Xiao Fan and defined it as an accidental event.

After this incident, although the two sides did not openly break off relations, they were already hostile to each other internally.

Xiao Fan absolutely refused to believe that Shen Long would kindly tell them about Jian Qingfeng's team's disappearance; he was already being kind by not kicking them while they were down.

"Tell me more details," Xiao Fan said thoughtfully.

Zhou He also felt something was amiss and recounted the whole story in great detail.

After escaping, Jian Qingfeng concluded that the archer was the one who killed Xiao Fan.

At the same time, they blamed themselves for not discovering the archer in time. After telling Zhou He about it, Jian Qingfeng and the others decided to go find that person to avenge Xiao Fan. They then disappeared without a trace.

Zhou He initially didn't take it seriously.

His thoughts were the same as Xiao Fan's; with Jian Qingfeng's strength, no one but Xiao Fan could rival him.

It wasn't until Shen Long sent a message saying they saw Jian Qingfeng disappear that Zhou He realized something was wrong.

He first sent a message to Jian Qingfeng, but received no reply. However, he noticed that Xiao Fan's name was still online.

This proves that Xiao Fan is not dead!

That's how he ended up sending a message to Xiao Fan.

According to Shen Long, after their team emerged from the Monster Region, they happened to see Qingfeng and his group enter a mysterious realm with a glowing aura. They decided to join in the fun and try their luck in the realm, but by the time they arrived, the aura had vanished.

Zhou He became increasingly alarmed as he spoke!

This is terrifying.

The secret realm's glowing circle has disappeared; what happens to the players who entered?

It's important to know that in the game <Cloud Sea>, the main way for players to level up and earn Core Power is by running dungeons.

The disappearance of the aura around the secret realm is undoubtedly a terrifying thing.

"Bullshit! Shen Long did this!"

Xiao Fan roared in anger.

Now he was certain that Jian Qingfeng's disappearance was part of Shen Long's conspiracy.

"You mean Qingfeng and the others were captured by Shen Long?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhou He's eyes.

He had been tolerant of Shen Long before.

Firstly, it was due to the Black Fog; secondly, at that time, the Dragon Nation desperately needed individuals with Heaven-Tier Skill to support it.

But the situation is different now.

Heaven-Tier Skill users are no longer so rare.

That's not all; the important thing is that Shen Long has repeatedly persecuted the future hope of their Dragon Nation, which Zhou He cannot tolerate.
