Yeyu City was a fortress in the southeast of the Holy Heaven Dynasty, and it was a prosperous border town frequented by travelers.
However, recently, a strange incident had occurred within the city. Several inns had reported cases of guests mysteriously disappearing.
The missing individuals were all children and young, beautiful maidens.
As of now, dozens of people had gone missing.
The city lord was furious and dispatched people to investigate, but they found nothing, and the disappearances continued.
This left the people of Yeyu City in a state of fear and uncertainty.
Many travelers pa.s.sing through were hurrying to leave, or they chose to take alternative routes. Coupled with the recent heavy snowfall, the entire city appeared desolate.
The young lady they encountered in blue attire is the only daughter of the Bai family in the south of the city, named Mengning, with a prominent reputation in Yeyu City.
The deceased, surnamed Ming and named Qiu Yi, was an orphan from the Ming family. A hundred years ago, the Ming family was also a prominent clan in Yeyu City, but they suffered a catastrophic event and were wiped out overnight.
Ming Qiu Yi only appeared in the past year and fell in love with Bai Mengning. The two of them were already at the stage of discussing marriage.
It was unclear what exactly happened, but in the past two days, the servants of the Bai family had been searching for his whereabouts throughout the entire city.
Everyone had overlooked the acc.u.mulated snow, so it was only after two days that Gu Xiaonan and their group discovered the deceased.
Gu Qingluan had a strong intuition that Ming Qiu Yi’s death was not simple, and the inn’s disappearances seemed to conceal a significant conspiracy.
However, she had no intention of getting involved.
In the end, she was just a pa.s.serby.
This world experienced various incidents every day, and if she were to concern herself with everything, there would not be enough of her to go around.
Gu Qingluan planned to continue her journey the next morning if nothing unusual happened tonight.
Feng Tianlan, naturally, had no objections.
However, to prevent any unexpected incidents, he said, “Tonight, I will stay in the same room with you all.”
Gu Qingluan glanced at him, understanding that he was worried about their safety, and nodded in agreement.
After their discussion, the two of them went downstairs to have a meal.
The food here couldn’t compare to Yunhai Tower, but it appeared relatively clean.
Before eating, Gu Qingluan carefully inspected the food to ensure there were no drugs or anything suspicious. Once satisfied, they all began to eat.
At night, the family of four stayed in one room, with Wei Yuantong in the adjacent room.
Outside, the snow continued to fall gently, and the inn, in this snowy world, resembled a sleeping giant.
In the middle of the night, all was silent.
Several ghostly figures stealthily infiltrated the inn, expertly making their way to the floor where Gu Qingluan and her group were staying.
One of them crouched down, inserted a sword into the door crack, and effortlessly pried open the latch, slowly pushing the door open.
Subsequently, the three individuals slipped inside.
They quickly scanned the room.
They saw a man lying on a nearby couch, with only one woman and two children on the bed.
Without hesitation, the three of them headed straight for the big bed.
Just as they reached out towards Gu Qingluan, who was lying on the outer edge, Gu Qingluan suddenly opened her eyes and smirked at them.
Oh no, they fell into a trap!
The three of them were taken aback.
The person closest to Gu Qingluan reacted swiftly, slashing towards her shoulder.
A cold gleam flashed in Gu Qingluan’s eyes as she accurately grabbed his hand and forcefully twisted it towards his body.
The man in black screamed in pain.
The other two also launched attacks on Gu Qingluan quickly, but she managed to subdue them with a few moves.
Feng Tianlan, who was lying on the couch, sat up nonchalantly.
Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi, who were on the inner side of the bed, also scrambled out from under the covers.
Wei Yuantong, who was staying in the adjacent room, along with others like Bo He and Jing Feng from other rooms, rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
In an instant, the room was filled with people..
