"Do you know where Xiao Ding was last seen before he disappeared?"
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Lin asked the question.
"Of course I've already had our disciples investigate that. The last place your grandson appeared was here!"
As he spoke, Ji Li conjured a map of the Central Plains with Dou Qi, then pointed to a particular spot.
When Xiao Lin saw the place Ji Li was pointing to, his eyebrows suddenly rose.
"Old Ji, if I remember correctly, this place should be..."
As the palace master of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, and someone who had spent so many years in the Central Plains, Xiao Lin now had a general understanding of how its various regions were divided among the different powers.
There was no need to mention the smaller factions. They were of little consequence.
But when it came to the first-rate powers of the Central Plains, whether publicly known or secluded sects, Xiao Lin certainly knew where their headquarters were and how far their territories extended.
This was to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings between them in the future.
Just as within the territory of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, no other faction was allowed to set foot there unless it had pledged allegiance to them!
And there happened to be a first-rate power near the place where Xiao Ding had disappeared!
Moreover, it was the most mysterious of all the publicly known first-rate powers in the Central Plains.
"Sound Valley!"
Ji Li uttered the name Xiao Lin had been about to say.
Indeed, according to the information gathered by the disciples of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, Xiao Ding had last appeared near Sound Valley.
Thus, Xiao Lin and Ji Li could reasonably venture that Xiao Ding's disappearance was very likely connected to Sound Valley.
