You Didn't Accidentally Lose Your Domain Control Token Too, Did You?

"Um?"

The newcomer raised an eyebrow, stared at Du Sheng, and said:

"Master Du, why aren't you saying anything?"

Du Sheng heard it, but did not respond.

His mind wasn't on that matter at the moment.

He's looking for it.

That's strange.

His mind sank into the storage pendant he kept close to his body.

There weren't many items inside, but each one was quite important.

But at this moment, everything that had been placed there was still there.

The only thing missing was the Domain Control Token.

"It was clearly placed here."

Although this Domain Control Token is useless, and they said it couldn't be repaired and I should just make do with it, I ended up leaving it here and not bothering to care about it anymore.

Even if he didn't use it for a long time, he still put it here. As a Dao Realm expert, he wouldn't forget about it.

But the current situation is that there isn't one.

At this moment, Du Sheng had a sudden thought and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Each person who controls a domain possesses Domain Control Token, which is bound to them. Even if the token is not by their side for a while, they can summon it back to their side through their will.

Du Sheng recalled the methods for recalling them.

Then came a moment of silence.

Du Sheng's heart sank even further.

There wasn't a sound from Mao!

Forget about recalling him, he even felt a sense of absurdity:

He seemed to have never even possessed this Domain Control Token!

"Du Zhangyu?"

The person called out again:

"Hurry up, I'm waiting to investigate others."

Upon hearing this, Du Sheng snapped out of his daze, his heart pounding wildly.

Losing this Domain Control Token is no small matter.

Especially now that a strict investigation has clearly begun, if the loss of his Domain Control Token is reported, he will definitely be dealt with according to the rules.

Once you start doing things the proper way, the price will be...

Although, I don't know exactly what's going on right now.

But based on his many years of experience in the Withering and Flourishing Sect, no one would care whether his Domain Control Token was intentionally lost or disappeared unintentionally; outsiders would only care about the fact that the Domain Control Token was indeed gone!

"Why don't you check on other people first?"

Du Sheng forced a smile and spoke.

Upon hearing this, the newcomer's expression shifted, and he looked at Du Sheng with a meaningful look on his face:

"Master Du, simply taking out the Domain Control Token shouldn't be a difficult task."

"Right now, all you need to do is take it out briefly; there's no need to do anything specific. Deliberately making excuses to avoid taking it out only raises suspicion."

"There was a Domain Master before who used a similar excuse to stall for time, but it turned out he was trying to escape. He traded his Dao Domain to the Devil Race, and his fate... well, it was truly unbearable to watch."

As he spoke, the newcomer paused, staring intently into Du Sheng's eyes:

"Master Du, I'm sure you wouldn't say that, would you?"

Stared at by the newcomer and hearing what had just been said, Du Sheng down his spine, and cold sweat almost broke out on his back.

I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.

How could my own Domain Control Token just disappear without warning?

And this happened without my knowledge.

Unfortunately, this kind of inspection has to happen at this particular time.

Du Sheng felt like his head was about to explode!

"Master Du, why aren't you saying anything?"

The newcomer continued speaking, a look of speculation on his face, followed by a sudden realization:

"I understand."

"Master Du, you didn't accidentally lose your Domain Control Token too, did you?"

The person emphasized the word "accidentally" in their speech.

Du Sheng's face twitched violently:

"This was definitely an accident. I've always kept the Domain Control Token safe in my personal pendant."

The visitor nodded and said calmly:

"Then the Domain Control Token just grew legs and ran away, right?"

Du Sheng: "..."

Nobody would believe that if you told them that.

At this moment, the visitor sat down on a chair to the side, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said in a low voice:

"Master Du, you don't want people to know that you've lost your domain, do you?"

Du Sheng's heart sank.

However, having stayed for so long, upon hearing this, he naturally knew what to do.

At that moment, Du Sheng, with a storage ring pressed in his palm, quickly stepped forward, shook hands with a smile, and said:

"It's nothing, I just can't remember where I put it. Please give me two days to look for it. I'm sure it's not lost."

The visitor did not accept the ring, but simply waved his hand gently.

"Lord Du, we've been conducting a thorough investigation lately. Any indication of collusion with the Devil Race could be a serious matter."

Upon hearing this, Du Sheng felt his heart bleed.

There are only two possibilities for not accepting it: either they are upright and incorruptible, or they are implying that it's not enough.

If it's the former, he has no room for further excuses now.

Therefore, the answer is obvious.

This is going to be a huge rip-off!

They exchanged another storage ring and shook hands again.

This time, the visitor gave Du Sheng a deep look and said:

"Alright, I'll come back in a day."

After seeing the visitor off,

Du Sheng immediately began a frantic search.

After searching, nothing was found.

Du Sheng temporarily set the matter aside and instead sent a message to his colleagues to inquire whether they had thoroughly investigated the matter.

When I asked several people, the results were all quite similar.

That never happened; at least, they never encountered it.

Du Sheng's expression immediately darkened.

"You crazy woman, you really want to kill me!"

There was only one possibility he could think of that could cause the Domain Control Token to disappear from his side without any reason.

As for the Domain Control Hall, since the Domain Control Token are issued there, taking them back shouldn't be too difficult.

This also explains why the Domain Control Token disappeared from his hands without his knowledge, and why he couldn't recall it using his senses.

Furthermore, the current so-called strict investigation seems all too coincidental.

It's hard not to suspect that this was done intentionally.

But he had no other choice at the moment.

Should he accuse the Domain Control Hall? He was just a Domain Master; he wasn't sure what the consequences would be, but it was very likely that before he even got the truth from the investigation, others would find out the truth about his suicide out of guilt.

Such things are not uncommon in the Misty Clear Realm.

If one cannot find or produce the Domain Control Token, it is a mistake, and although it will not result in death, the consequences will still be unacceptable.

What he found most unacceptable was that he couldn't understand how that crazy woman could have built such connections that she could get the Domain Control Hall to cooperate with her.

As the saying goes, one should be lenient when one can. He originally didn't plan to get involved in the affairs of the Five Continents region; he would just let the other side settle things, since it wasn't a good place to begin with anyway.

But by doing things this way, they're not planning to leave themselves any way out.

"Fine, you're forcing me, aren't you!"

A flash of light appeared in Du Sheng's hand, revealing an object identical to the one the divine servant had carried when he went to the Five Continents Domain.

In the war between the two domains, each side has its own advantages, which allows people from one's own domain to enter the enemy's domain without being affected by the other's Domain Control Token.

He hadn't planned to use it, but now that the other party was playing dirty tricks on him, it wouldn't be right for him to tolerate it any longer.

The grudge has been brewing for a long time, and this matter is unlikely to be resolved amicably. Rather than let it remain as it is, it would be better to also ruthlessly undermine the other party.

If the enemy launches a surprise attack, the rear will be difficult to defend. We can then catch them off guard, drive straight in, and strike at their heart!
