Chapter 1398 - 1394

Xie Xuzhi waved his hand, and Gu Yuan immediately shut his mouth, fearing that if he said more, he might get a beating.

"Boss, I’m off now, right away!"

With that, Gu Yuan jogged away from the pavilion, making a call while running, worried about any delay in efficiency.

Half an hour later, on the dedicated helipad of Qingfeng Temple, over a dozen people stood respectfully awaiting Gu Yuan’s instructions.

Quite a few people at Qingfeng Temple, hearing the commotion, gathered around, wanting to see what was happening.

"Is Director Gu going on a long trip? Didn’t he just return? Why is he leaving so soon? Has something happened again?"

"I doubt it. Who would be so bold as to cause trouble at this critical moment?"

"Who knows, but even if something happened, there’s nothing to fear. After all, there are big shots covering it. Now, the people from the Special Administration Bureau are all pumped up, and who knows who will be unlucky in the end!"

...

Gu Yuan obtained the special Passage Order and didn’t spare even a glance at those watching the spectacle, nor did he care what they said.

"Move out!"

The helicopter quickly took off, heading towards the territory of Five Emperors Mountain.

Xie Xuzhi waited at Qingfeng Temple for a day, with no sign of Junior Master leaving seclusion.

Instead, bad news came from the Five Emperors Mountain side.

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly panicked: "Director Gu took four colleagues in with the Passage Order.

They got separated in a foggy area halfway, and when the time was up, only those four returned, but Director Gu was missing!!!"

The Special Administration Bureau personnel had encountered situations where they got separated from their companions during a mission before.

In dangerous circumstances, the person who gets lost is often sacrificed.

A little over a year ago, Five Emperors Mountain was thoroughly searched inch by inch by the entire force of the Xuan Sect.

Apart from some perilous areas that are not open, there is virtually no dangerous place there.

"Continue the search for him. I will dispatch more people to assist."

With Gu Yuan missing, Xie Xuzhi’s heart skipped a beat, but he still arranged everything calmly, showing no sign of panic.

The people below instantly found a backbone, starting to mobilize their own people around Five Emperors Mountain, preparing to search the mountain.

Xin Fu received the news immediately and hastily rushed to find Xie Xuzhi.

The area where Gu Yuan went missing was the forbidden area of Qingfeng Temple, and he was using a special Passage Order from Qingfeng Temple.

In such a situation, any informed person would undoubtedly first cast suspicion directly on Qingfeng Temple.

If such suspicion were brought into the open, Qingfeng Temple would undoubtedly suffer greatly.

Before Xin Fu could explain anything, Xie Xuzhi already knew what he was about to say.

"I know that Gu Yuan’s disappearance has nothing to do with Qingfeng Temple. You don’t need to worry about the Special Administration Bureau or the Gu Family putting the blame on Qingfeng Temple."

Xin Fu was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Director Xie’s trust in Qingfeng Temple to reach this level.

To be fair, if he were not involved, he would undoubtedly first suspect Qingfeng Temple.

It was then that he suddenly remembered something Yun Ran had once said to him.

Joining Qingfeng Temple, as long as one doesn’t commit crimes, they can walk unimpeded in the future.

At this moment, he finally understood the true meaning of those words.

"Director Xie, I will personally make a trip to the Five Emperors Mountain and will certainly bring Director Gu back!"
