Chapter 110 Huayang
After a brief search, the general of the city defense army bowed to Di Hong, apologized, and then left with his men.

Tang Yuehua walked to the window, opened it, and found that martial law had been imposed outside. The city defense forces and the Spirit Hall people were searching everywhere and questioning anyone they saw.

"What happened?"

It's only the first day and it's like this. The roads outside have been cleared and everyone has been sent back home.

Di Hong took a look and then looked away.

"Okay, forget about them, let's go to sleep."

That night, no one from the Spirit Hall or the city defense forces rested.

Inside the Huacheng City Lord’s Mansion.

The commander of the city defense forces reported the results of the search to Hua Yang, the lord of Huacheng.

"Lord City Lord, we have searched all over Huacheng, but we have not found anyone, let alone any trace of the missing spirit master."

Hua Yang sat in the main seat with his eyes closed, no expression on his face. Although he was over sixty years old, he looked like he was in his twenties. His face was fair and handsome, and he exuded a faint floral fragrance. There was no sign of aging at all.

"Got it. Continue searching. Also, send the gold soul coins I prepared to the Spirit Hall. They have worked so hard." Hua Yang waved his hand.

The commander of the city defense army saluted and left.

After the commander of the city defense army left, Hua Yang opened his eyes with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his eyes. It was obvious that he didn't care about the disappearance of soul masters. People disappeared every year and he was used to it, especially in the past ten years, when people disappeared every year and could never be found.

He didn't want to look for it because the Hundred Flowers Festival still had to be held.

He raised his arms and stretched his waist, then stood up and left the living room.

There is a flower garden in the city lord's mansion. The garden is filled with rich floral fragrance. The fragrance is so strong that the fragrance of all the flowers mixed together, making people feel very uncomfortable. However, Hua Yang strolled in the garden as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, he stopped in front of a rockery and pressed a bulge. A passage leading downwards appeared in front of him. After looking around, he walked straight in.

The next morning.

When Di Hong and Tang Yuehua were having breakfast on the first floor, the people at the next table were talking about what happened yesterday.

"Have you heard that the city defense army and the Spirit Hall's people searched the whole city yesterday?"

"I heard that three soul masters seem to be missing."

"How come he disappeared again? This happens every year. It only took one night, and now they are not searching anymore."

Listening to their conversations, Di Hong had a general understanding of what happened last night.

However, he was very curious about who could have made three soul masters disappear silently and without leaving any traces. Who on earth had such ability?

The strongest soul master in Huacheng does not have any powerful forces, nor any sect. The strongest is only the Lord of Huacheng, who is now only a soul master at the Soul Emperor level.

After finishing their meal, he and Tang Yuehua continued to stroll around the city. After a night of searching, the city had regained its prosperity and everyone was doing what they were supposed to do, as if nothing had happened.

Tang Yuehua asked curiously.

"Three soul masters disappeared yesterday. Aren't you worried?"

The person being asked looked nonchalant.

"The one who is missing is a soul master. I am not a soul master. What do I have to worry about?"

“Besides, this happens every year.”

"But Madam, you should worry about yourself. After all, no one knows whether those people will target you."

After saying that, the man left.

Tang Yuehua stood there in deep thought. It was not difficult to hear from that person's words that the other party seemed to only attack soul masters and would not attack civilians in the city, so they were not worried.

But at this time, she thought of the little girl selling flowers outside the city. Her mother was also missing. Is there any connection between the two? However, the girl's mother was not a soul master.

He asked several people in succession, and they basically all had an indifferent attitude. However, the soul masters felt a little scared, fearing that they would become the next target. Some soul masters even didn't want to stay here anymore.

However, although the city defense forces and the Spirit Hall stopped the search, they increased the patrols in the city a lot. Even the guards at the city gates were strengthened, and people and carriages entering and leaving were subject to strict searches.

At this moment, Tang Yuehua saw two familiar figures.

"Big brother, second brother."

Looking at the familiar figure not far away, she and Di Hong walked over.

Hearing a familiar voice behind him, Tang Hao turned around and looked over.

"Yuehua, Dihong?"

He was a little surprised that he met his sister and brother-in-law here. Huacheng is more than two thousand miles away from Tiandou City.

"Why are you here?" Tang Xiao asked.

"Yuehua and I are traveling, and Huacheng is our first stop." Di Hong explained.

"what about you?"

"Let's go over there and talk." Tang Xiao pointed to the tea stall not far away.

The four of them came to the tea stall, and after they sat down, Tang Hao spoke first.

"My elder brother and I were asked by the highest administrative officer of Andong Province to come to Huacheng for investigation."

"What about the missing soul master?" Tang Yuehua asked.

"Yeah." Tang Xiao nodded.

"Yes, it's about the disappearance of soul masters. Ever since Hua Yang, the Lord of Huacheng, became the Lord, people have disappeared almost every year. At first everyone thought they were bandits, but after the bandits were wiped out, people still went missing."

"In the beginning, they were all ordinary people from the surrounding villages. It wasn't until the past ten years that soul masters began to disappear."

"The people from Spirit Hall are also investigating this matter."

"But after ten years of investigation, both sides found nothing. It was as if those people had evaporated into thin air."

If it was just an ordinary person who was missing, then the Spirit Hall would definitely not care. But when it comes to the disappearance of a spirit master, that’s different. They must investigate, which is why there were people from the Spirit Hall and the city defense forces searching last night.

The highest administrative officer of Andong Province knew that such an investigation would not reveal anything. Tang Hao and Tang Xiao happened to come at this time, so he appointed the two to investigate. In fact, he suspected that the person who did this was the City Lord's Mansion.

After all, in the entire Huacheng, only the City Lord’s Mansion has this ability.

But without evidence, he couldn't make a hasty decision. After all, he had made contributions to the empire, and he was also a Soul Emperor.

The importance of soul masters is self-evident.

"Evaporated out of thin air?" Di Hong thought back to what the city defense general said last night. It was obvious that they knew the man's approximate size. If they knew it, how could they not have found out after all these years?

Is that a bait?
It is released to confuse people.

"Did you find anything when you came here yesterday?" Tang Hao asked.

Tang Yuehua shook her head: "We didn't find anything, we just came here to enjoy the flowers, but when we entered the city yesterday, I learned that a girl's mother was missing, and three soul masters also disappeared yesterday."

"We know all this." Tang Xiao shook his head. Now they had no way to investigate.

He and Tang Hao came here in a private capacity and it was impossible for them to go to the City Lord's Mansion to investigate.
