"You? You were with Carefree Immortal—was there a period when he disappeared from your sight?"
After asking, Myriad Laws Ruler Nie Yun looked toward Spiritual Elegance Emperor.
"When I was looking at those stone statues, he was out of my sight for about ten breaths!" Spiritual Elegance Emperor thought for a moment before answering.
"So both of them had a period when you didn't see them. In other words... both had the chance to be switched!"
After the two answered, Nie Yun fell into thought.
The possibility that these two had been possessed by evil spirits was virtually nonexistent, and they could not possibly betray him. After careful deduction, there was only one possibility... these two were fakes. In other words... someone had disguised themselves as them!
But what method could conceal the problem so completely that even his soul could not detect it? That, he did not know!
It was now clear that both had possessed the time and opportunity to be switched. In other words, the possibility that they had been replaced by fakes was rather high.
Of course, this was only a guess. Before the truth was uncovered, no one could say for certain what had happened.
"Search this place carefully and see if any traces were left behind!" Nie Yun instructed. "No one is to leave one another's sight!"
If those two were fakes who had replaced the real ones, then where had the real Carefree Immortal and Fu Anchao gone? Given their strength, even if someone wanted to abduct them, it could not have been done in an instant. There would certainly have been a struggle, and wherever there was a struggle, traces would remain!
"Alright!"
