720 Chapter 720: Investigation
Two days later, Ye Xiao and Ye Wu arrived at the Cold City, riding the White Dragon Horse. It has to know that the White Dragon Horse was the fastest demonic beast. But even so, it took them two days to come to the Cold City, one can think how far the cold city was from the Demon Mountain.
After he arrived in the cold city, he let go of the White Dragon Horse and gave it a few pills that he had concocted secretly in the Ye Family.
“Go and book a room in an inn, stay there until I return!” Ye Xiao said to Ye Wu which confused him.
“Why?”
“I’ll go and investigate what is going on in the Cold City first. After investigating this matter, I’ll come back. At that time, we can take appropriate action and look for elder brother!”
“No, third brother, I can’t let you go alone!”
“Even if you go with me, you’ll be of no help. Do as I say, I’ll go and investigate. You’ll stay in the inn for now. Also, it might take me one or two days to return, so don’t worry about me!”
Saying this, Ye Xiao left. He didn’t wait for Ye Wu to say anything.
Ye Wu did open his mouth to say something, however, he was unable to say anything. Because what Ye Xiao said was the truth. He was a lot weaker than Ye Xiao. What help can he provide to Ye Xiao?

Leaving Ye Wu there, Ye Xiao started wandering around the streets of the Cold City. From time to time, he would also hear some people talking about the continuous disappearance of people in the cold city. The aura of the cold city was down. There were simply too many young boys and girls who disappeared. And many of them were important members of some large families of the Cold City.
Ye Xiao also tried to ask around, but no one talked to him. They thought Ye Xiao is just an eight years old child, what could he know or understand!
This made Ye Xiao sigh with a bitter smile.
Ye Xiao spent the entire evening looking for a clue to find out what exactly happened in the cold city that caused the disappearance of many boys and girls, including a Peak Martial King Realm martial artist like his big brother.
It was now already past 10 of that night. Not being able to find a single clue, Ye Xiao decided to return and inform his second brother about the result of his today’s investigation, and then he’ll continue to investigate tomorrow.
It was already night and there were very few people walking on the street. And every single person was at least a middle-aged man in his early forties or above. Not a single young man or woman could be seen on the street at this time.
This was all caused by the danger lurking in the Cold City.
As Ye Xiao took a turn and entered a completely quiet street, he suddenly felt a few weak auras approaching him silently. These auras were deeply hidden, but who is Ye Xiao?
His soul was too strong and because of this, he had long awakened his Divine Sense. Under his Divine Sense, the people chasing after him were unable to hide from his sight. pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
What surprised him was that he felt a demonic aura on these people’s bodies.
“It seems these people are related to demons!” Ye Xiao muttered in his heart and continued to observe them under his Divine Sense.
There were a total of three people. One was a Peak Martial King Realm martial artist just like his elder brother Ye Fu. And the other two were Third Stage and Fifth Stage Martial King Realm martial artists.
Very soon, they arrived behind Ye Xiao and first observed the surroundings. Seeing that there was no one here, they approached Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao looked at them and a look of fear appeared on his face as he said in a trembling voice, “Wh-Who are y-you?”
“Hehe, little guy, don’t worry. We are not bad people!” The Peak Martial King laughed and said. Although he told Ye Xiao not to be afraid, his evil laugh was enough to make even Martial Kings shudder in fear.
However, the person standing opposite him was Ye Xiao. He had seen many demonic cultivators in the real world, how can these few p.a.w.ns intimidate him?
Ye Xiao also continued to act. “Really?”
The man nodded his head, saying, “Yes. Well, I heard you were investigating about the disappeared boys and girls, did someone close to you also disappeared?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ ꪶ
Ye Xiao nodded his head, replying truthfully, but in a nervous tone, “Yes, my elder brother disappeared after he came to the Cold City. I’m here to look for him!”
pAɴᴅᴀ ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ A wide grin appeared on the face of the three people. One of them said, “Have you heard of the Demon Forest?”
Seeing Ye Xiao nodding his head, that man again said, “A few days ago, I went to hunt down a few demonic beasts to earn some money, however, I discovered a secret cave. I heard many boys and girls scream from that cave. If you want, I can bring you there. That might be the place where you can find your elder brother!”
Ye Xiao’s eyes light up hearing this. This was what he wanted from the very beginning. Nodding his head fiercely, he said, “Yes, please bring me there. I’ll go with you guys!”
The three men become happy and started leading Ye Xiao to the Demon Mountain.
At the same time, they were also talking through sound transmission.
‘Hehe, we have gotten yet another fish!’
‘Let’s hurry and bring him to the young lord. This time, we’ll definitely be awarded bountifully.’
‘Yes, and anyway, after we deliver this kid to young lord, our mission will be over.’
‘Yes, but isn’t this kid too little to be the sacrifice?’
‘What does that have to do with us? Young Lord only told us to bring some boys and girls to him. He never told us the age limit of the people we are going to bring to him. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.’
‘Hehe, this kid is so innocent. He was fooled by us so easily.’
‘In the end, he is still just a kid!’
‘Well, didn’t this kid say that he is looking for his elder brother who disappeared? Let’s ask this kid who his elder brother is?’
‘I don’t think it is necessary!’
‘Yeah! Leave it!’
What these people didn’t know was that Ye Xiao was hearing their conversation with a cunning smile on his face.
These people were using their spiritual sense to talk, while Ye Xiao was spying on them with his Divine Sense. Whatever they talked about, everything fell in Ye Xiao’s ears word by word.
It took them five hours to come to the border of Demon Mountain. Demon Mountain was very big, and it covered more than a dozen cities in this country. The Cold City is just one of them.
One border of the Cold City opens at the border of Demon Mountain. It is also the way through which Ye Xiao came to the Cold City.
It took them another few hours to arrive in front of a cave.
The Peak Martial King Realm martial artist said, “It is the cave I was talking about. Those noises are not coming right now, maybe something is going on inside. Why don’t you hurry up and enter, and look for your brother inside!”
Ye Xiao smiled hearing this man’s words. He took a deep breath, sighed, and said while shaking his head: “Ok, let’s drop the act now. I shall thank all of you for bringing me here. Now, it is the time to say goodbye to the world. Do you have any last wish?”
The three men were stunned. They never t Ye Xiao’s behaviour will turn 180 degrees the moment they came to the cave.
What is going on?
They looked at each other, confused, and the next moment, they started laughing maniacally. One of them said, “Kid, so you knew who we are?”
“Of course, I knew. The demonic aura on your bodies can’t be hidden from me!” Ye Xiao replied without showing any expression on his face.
The three of them were again surprised. They had hidden their demonic auras very well. Even the only Martial Emperor of the Cold City, the City Lord wouldn’t be able to detect their demonic auras, how did this kid detect it?
That man once again said, “You just asked for our last wish. It looks like you think you can kill us. Tell us, what made you think you can kill the three of us. Aren’t you overestimating your own strength for a kid of eight or nine years old?”
Ye Xiao shook his head, and asked again, “Is this your last wish? Is this what you want to know?”
