"Where are the people? Still haven't found them?!"
Li Tianjiao's expression was extremely cold.
A week had passed, and Ling Feng and Zhou Jin had vanished as if they had evaporated from the earth.
Li Tianjiao had even obtained Ling Feng's personal tracking device from his superiors, but still, no signal could be detected.
This left only two possibilities.
One was that the tracking device on Ling Feng had been completely damaged!
The other possibility was... Ling Feng was dead, with no biological signals remaining, making it impossible to track him.
"No, Town Protector King. So far, the Elder Council has mobilized ten thousand people in secret, and we still haven't located the whereabouts of the Northern Heavenly Venerate!"
Someone below spoke heavily to Li Tianjiao.
Another person cautiously added, "Town Protector King, should we... increase the manpower?!"
Li Tianjiao's face was extremely grim. He coldly refused, "We cannot increase manpower. This matter is absolutely confidential. From today onwards, withdraw everyone. We will search ourselves!"
Upon hearing this, the two below naturally responded repeatedly.
And just at this moment, someone rushed in from outside!
"Report!"
"What is it? Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I say? We are discussing very important matters right now. Even if the heads of the martial arts schools have something, don't come to me!"
Li Tianjiao was extremely agitated. Ling Feng's disappearance had been too great a blow to him.
The person below couldn't help but tremble all over upon hearing this, then straightened up and replied, "We received news from the pharmaceutical factory. They said they found someone!"
"What?! Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Li Tianjiao's face immediately lit up with excitement. Without waiting for the person below to utter another word, Li Tianjiao directly took off.
He hurried towards the pharmaceutical factory.
The so-called pharmaceutical factory was naturally the one belonging to Lin Siqi and the others. Currently, Lin Shuainan was in charge of the factory's expansion, and the original main factory was also planned to be relocated to the mountain.
However, due to Ling Feng's disappearance recently, everyone had lost the inclination to do so.
Lin Siqi's face was as pale as paper.
Tang Ru, holding her slightly bulging belly beside her, shook her head and comforted Lin Siqi, "Siqi, it's been five days. If you don't eat or drink like this, you won't be able to wait for Ling Feng to return before your body has problems! Besides, didn't Ji Yunyue say they found someone and are on their way back!"
Lin Siqi's face was pale, and her lips were even a little chapped.
If Ling Feng saw this, he would surely feel heartbroken.
Because, even in Ling Feng's memory, Lin Siqi had never looked so haggard!
Hua Yuxiao and the others beside her also had grim expressions, looking at Lin Siqi with heartache.
At this moment, Lin Shuainan rushed in from outside and called out, "Sister-in-law Saintess is back! They found that kid Zhou Jin!"
Zhou Jin was found!?
Zhou Jin was the one who disappeared at the same time as Ling Feng. Now that Zhou Jin was found, Ling Feng should also have a clue!
Lin Siqi's eyes brightened a few points.
When she was told that someone had been found earlier, Lin Siqi didn't believe it at all. After all, she had encountered too many false hopes during this period!
Every time hope was met with despair!
Although Ling Feng wasn't found directly this time, finding Zhou Jin was already a significant achievement!
Soon, Ji Yunyue walked in with a person.
The clothes on this person looked tattered, and there were even bloodstains on him. However, the person was curled up nervously, appearing fearful of everyone around him, his eyes darting around constantly!
Upon seeing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
They had seen this Zhou Jin before. He was a young man full of spirit, standing beside Ling Feng.
How had he suddenly become like a beggar?!
"Where is Ling Feng? Zhou Jin, where is Ling Feng? Tell me, where is he now?!"
Lin Siqi was the first to rush forward excitedly, grabbing Zhou Jin's shoulder and repeatedly questioning him.
Zhou Jin, however, was extremely tense. When Lin Siqi grabbed him, he became even more nervous. In his struggle, he almost knocked Lin Siqi over!
The people around quickly stepped forward to support Lin Siqi.
Ji Yunyue then spoke to them, "He seems to have lost his memory. There's a scar on the back of his head, and some of the specialized biochemical fluids on him were stolen. However, I brought some people to pursue and retrieve them, but we didn't find any trace of Ling Feng in the vicinity."
Speaking of this, Ji Yunyue couldn't help but bite her lower lip. How could Ji Yunyue not worry about Ling Feng's current situation?
More importantly, Ji Yunyue was now extremely regretful.
She truly regretted why she hadn't participated in this mission with Ling Feng back then!
If she had gone with Ling Feng, this situation should not have happened!
"Heavenly Venerate... save Heavenly Venerate, save Heavenly Venerate!"
Suddenly, Zhou Jin, who had been tense and nervous all along, started shouting madly.
This commotion startled everyone around!
Ji Yunyue became even more agitated and directly grabbed Zhou Jin's neck, "What did you say? Continue speaking, Ling Feng, Ling Tianci, where is he? Where is your Heavenly Venerate, where do we need to go to save him?!"
Although Lin Siqi and the others were all extremely tense and expectant in their hearts, they all looked at Zhou Jin at this moment and dared not speak a word, fearing that any slight movement from them would scare Zhou Jin!
After all, Ji Yunyue had already made it very clear that Zhou Jin's head had suffered a severe blow, and he had lost his memory.
It was already quite difficult for him to recall things in fragments!
As expected, when Ji Yunyue questioned him like this, Zhou Jin became a bit dazed again. He secretly looked around, then whispered, "Research, regeneration, regeneration..."
Saying this, Zhou Jin covered his armpit with one hand!
Seeing this, Ji Yunyue naturally quickly reached out to snatch the thing from under Zhou Jin's armpit.
But she didn't expect that with one forceful pull, she had torn off a piece of flesh from Zhou Jin.
As Zhou Jin cried out in pain, he became even more frantic, trying to snatch the item back from Ji Yunyue.
Moreover, the strength he exerted was immense. Ji Yunyue couldn't hold onto the item for long before Zhou Jin snatched it back.
But everyone still managed to see what was inside: blood!
"What is this?" Ji Yunyue's eyes widened.
The heads of the people beside her also had the same question. They naturally saw the peculiar container for preserving blood, which was very small and exquisite, filled with advanced technological sense.
But they all wanted to know whose blood it was!
The answer they least wanted to know was that this blood belonged to Ling Feng!
And at this moment, Zhou Jin was curled up in the corner, holding the item in his hand, glaring fiercely at everyone around him like a wild beast!
But just then, a roar erupted.
"Zhou Jin, what's going on?! You're the only one who came back?!"
