Chapter 249 -246: Maybe It’s Not That Simple

Beforehand, Captain Lei and others had already consulted with Xing Ling and Xing Yue.

Divination has many limitations.

It requires not only closely related materials but also depends on the comparative strength of both parties.

The strength of Mr. K, the man behind the scenes, had been analyzed by the Security Bureau long ago. Undoubtedly, he was among the top tier of the Sanctuary and was very likely in possession of some treasure that gave him the power to bestow abilities on others.

To divine the exact location of a superpower was extremely difficult for Xing Ling and Xing Yue, who were only at the “Awakening Fifth Tier.”

Upon seeing the large area Xing Ling gestured to…

It roughly meant that the area was confined to Dawn Bay District, at most slightly narrowed down.

Although Captain Lei was somewhat disappointed, it was also expected.

But damn it… was five hundred meters considered a large range?

Watching Xing Ling’s innocent expression, Captain Lei forcibly swallowed the words that were stuck in his throat.

—Better not provoke them.

The Security Bureau still needed their help to locate Mr. K.

No need for Captain Lei’s orders, someone rushed out like a gust of wind and soon returned, clutching a detailed map of the Luoxia Sanctuary, hurrying back.

The slightly crumpled map was spread out.

Captain Lei asked with an urgent tone, “Approximately where on the map?”

Xing Ling stared at the map, falling into deep thought.

Xing Ling continued to think for five minutes.

Those from the Security Bureau held their breath, staring intensely, unable to contain their nervousness.

Finally, Xing Ling looked up, “What’s the scale of the map…”

She stretched her hand towards the interrogation room’s door, about one or two meters to the right, and asked, “Also, which side of the map does this direction correspond to?”

Tang Yu massaged his forehead.

His guess was indeed correct.

The time Xing Ling spent thinking was clearly spent trying to understand the map’s directions and distances—and obviously, she couldn’t possibly distinguish north, south, east, and west!

The people from the Security Bureau felt even more frustration rising to their hearts.

Eventually, after another five minutes of effort explaining the directions and distances on the map to Xing Ling,

After some effort, Xing Ling frowned tightly, thought for a while, and finally pointed to a location on the map, “Around here, approximately.”

Tang Yu glanced over.

He wasn’t familiar with the Luoxia Sanctuary. The location Xing Ling pointed at was only identifiable on the map as being within a certain community, which, incidentally, was just two streets away from the plot of land he had purchased.

However, the people from the Security Bureau were different; they were already familiar with Luoxia’s layout and to find the man behind the scenes, had studied the map several times over.

Captain Lei saw where Xing Ling’s finger rested and blurted out instantly, “It’s Lanxing Community, just as I suspected…”

The initial case of a bizarre death, where the deceased had no wounds on their body, had occurred in the upscale Lanxing Community. He had suspected this location early on, and even later, when Ancestor Dragon sent ability users to assist, the main area of their search was the Lanxing Community.

However, the Lanxing Community was large; even when utilizing ability users with capabilities such as those claimed to have radar-like spiritual perception, they could either sense broadly over a large area or narrow down the range to achieve deeper, detailed perception. Yet doing so would exhaust the ability user’s Source Power and energy, and they could only investigate a small part of the area in an entire day.

Previously, they had expanded their search from the central area of the first incident outward and had not found any related clues.

For a time, Captain Lei even doubted whether his judgment was flawed.

The person behind the scenes was not actually hiding in the Lanxing Community.

Looking at it now, when the ability users of Ancestor Dragon came up empty-handed, the people from the Extreme Martial Arts Hall confirmed his guess and even divined decisive clues.

Even with different abilities and inclinations, he couldn’t help but marvel at how the Extreme Martial Arts Hall had numerous capable individuals.

“If only the people from the Extreme Martial Arts Hall could join Ancestor Dragon.”

Captain Lei sighed softly, “No wonder the Director emphasized the importance of keeping a close eye on the people from the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. But now it seems that in addition to closely monitoring them, it is even more crucial to be on good terms with them, given their miraculous divination abilities. In the future, our Security Bureau may need to rely on their divination skills when encountering difficult problems.”

The place Xing Ling indicated was located in the northern part of the Lanxing Community, where standalone villas were situated.

As the most advanced type of rented housing in the Sanctuary, each villa had its own small garden and maintained a certain distance from each other.

This also meant that there were not many residents in the area.

Which made it easier to investigate.

An inscrutable smile finally appeared on the faces of the Security Bureau and others.

…

…

In order to catch the person behind the scenes as quickly as possible, the Security Bureau personnel quickly sprang into action.

Departments started to operate, and messages were rapidly relayed.

The Security Bureau deployed the vast majority of their members, not to confront the person behind the scenes but to quickly locate Mr. K’s whereabouts and secure the dangerous area to prevent other survivors from entering.

To ensure that no information was leaked, most of these Security Team members were unaware of the actual purpose of this operation; they only knew it was extremely important, even the Director of the Security Bureau personally took action.

Ancestor Dragon also dispatched two top squads to support them, which included several true powerhouses. These individuals were indeed the main force to confront the person behind the scenes.

“Three awakened at the Seventh Layer, and two others are suppressing part of their aura.”

The numbers in the two top Ancestor Dragon squads were few, but even the weakest among them had the strength of the Fifth Tier.

Standing together, they were like the most blazing flames; Tang Yu didn’t need to use his perception; these strong auras were already feeding back into his mind.

The weaker Security Bureau members couldn’t even determine the specific strength of this aura, only feeling an overwhelming pressure like the continuous onslaught of ocean waves.

“Luoxia Sanctuary is indeed taking this case very seriously; even among Ancestor Dragon, those with the strength above the Seventh Layer must be rare.”

Was it because the person behind the scenes posed a great threat and had formidable power, or was it because of the treasures that might be in the hands of this person?

Tang Yu knew that there indeed existed some marvelous treasures in this world.

Powerful, beyond comprehension materials, or equipment, could all be categorized as treasures.

Like the giant tree growing on the Source Crystal Mine near Green Shadow, which once attracted many Demonized Beasts, gathering under the giant tree. Perhaps, for the Demonized Beasts, that unknown giant tree was a treasure.

It might also be possible that it was an item of equipment left from some ancient era, akin to Zuofo…

However,

Tang Yu furrowed his brows.

The people of the Security Bureau didn’t know the true strength of Xing Ling, but didn’t he know?

With Xing Ling’s power, with her mastery of Divination, yet, they couldn’t accurately determine the target’s location.

Could it be that the potential existing treasure interfered with Xing Ling’s Divination?

Or perhaps, the person behind the scenes had power beyond imagination.

Whichever the case, Tang Yu always felt that things weren’t so simple.

“Hopefully, I am just overthinking it.”
