A chilling air, like countless tiny ants, tried to crawl into every pore of my body.
Fang Yu’s body naturally wasn’t afraid of this aura, but Qin Yimo beside him was just an ordinary person.
Almost in an instant, Qin Yimo was permeated by the aura and fainted.
In the pitch darkness, Fang Yu reached out blindly and took Qin Yimo into his embrace. He released his true energy, enveloping both himself and Qin Yimo.
“Whoosh!”
Golden light, pierced through the black fog.
At this moment, Fang Yu could see the situation around him clearly.
My vision was filled with a thick, black fog, as if I were in another dimension.
Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, he looked around, sensing the changes in the surrounding air.
The entire space was shrouded in a black mist, and a cold chill permeated the air.
This aura severely hampered Fang Yu’s ability to sense things.
“If it doesn’t come out, I’ll blow these mists away.” Fang Yu said calmly.
There wasn’t a sound to be heard.
Fang Yu’s eyes were cold, he raised his right hand, and clenched his fist suddenly!
“Boom!”
A ferocious aura erupted from Fang Yu’s body, blasting outwards in all directions!
Those thick black mists were instantly shattered.
The streetlights and saplings along the path were also blown outwards.
The black mist dissipated, revealing the original scene.
But I still saw no figures and sensed nothing.
Fang Yu frowned and turned around.
At this time, he noticed that a pattern had appeared on the ground.
Although the surrounding streetlights were all blown out, by moonlight, one could still clearly see the shape of the pattern.
At first glance, it appears to be a flower of peculiar shape.
The flower has only three petals, which are triangular in shape with thorns at the tips.
It doesn’t belong to any kind of flower that Fang Yu knows.
It is clearly an organizational symbol.
But, with the pattern of this strange flower, Fang Yu had seen it for the first time.
“What organization is it this time…?” Fang Yu rubbed his chin.
But at that moment, he suddenly realized the meaning behind the pattern the other party had left…
Many mercenary organizations, after completing a task, will leave the organization’s mark at the scene as a provocative declaration.
This time, it will probably be the same as before.
Task complete… <<<
Fang Yu glanced at Qin Yimo in his arms.
At this moment, Qin Yimo’s body turned cold, as if she had just been taken out of a freezer.
Besides that, Qin Yimo’s body did not show any major abnormalities. She just had her eyes tightly closed, her brows furrowed, and her expression was somewhat painful.
“That ball of black mist…”
Fang Yu frowned, placing her hand on Qin Yimo’s forehead, her palm glowing white.
After Shensi entered Qin Yimo’s body, Fang Yu discovered that a mass of black qi was corrupting her.
But its speed wasn’t fast, it was slowly crawling up from the neck area, trying to get into the skull.
And where that black qi swept over, the blood within the capillaries was sucked dry.
This also caused Qin Yimo’s neck to appear a strange white, without the slightest trace of blood.
As soon as that black qi enters Qin Yimo’s skull, she will die immediately with no chance of survival.
Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately channeled a large amount of true qi into his right hand, blocking the area around his neck and completely isolating the black qi.
This ball of black qi immediately retreated the moment it touched the true qi, as if it had intelligence, which was quite strange.
Fang Yu pressed his right hand against Qin Yimo’s neck, wanting to force the black qi out of her body directly.
But at this moment, the black qi clung tightly to Qin Yimo’s flesh on her neck, motionless.
“This black qi… there’s something off about it,” Fang Yu’s eyes flashed with astonishment.
“Mr. Fang!”
At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind.
Qin Lang arrived from the rear with two masters as his guards.
“What happened…?” Qin Lang was about to ask, but at once he saw Qin Yimo lying in Fang Yu’s arms, unconscious.
“Sister!” Qin Lang’s face changed drastically.
He happened to be nearby and heard the noise, knowing something was wrong. He hurried over with two guards.
But he didn’t expect that Qin Yimo would be the one involved in the incident!
“Don’t panic, I need a quiet place.” Fang Yu looked up at Qin Lang and said.
“Alright, I’ll take you there immediately.” Qin Lang broke out in a sweat, forcing himself to stay calm and said.
“Don’t spread this around for now, at least not tonight. We need to keep it confidential.” Fang Yu ordered again.
“Good.” Qin Lang nodded.
Then, he turned to the two guards behind him and gave them a few instructions.
These two guards are his personal bodyguards, basically trusted confidantes who wouldn’t speak out of turn.
After that, Qin Lang brought Fang Yu into the Qin family’s grand estate through a side door. They walked along a path and arrived at an ancient tower located behind the small building where Qin Wu Dao lived.
“This building is our Qin family’s treasure trove, and no one usually comes here,” Qin Lang said. “But I don’t have the key to this place, so I can only…”
“Good,” Fang Yu replied, hugging Qin Yimo and leaping onto the second floor. He forced open a window and went inside.
Qin Lang stood downstairs, his expression somewhat hesitant.
After all, this is the Qin family’s treasure vault. In the past, only Qin Wudao or someone Qin Wudao brought with him could enter it.
If we barge in now, the consequences of being discovered would be dire…
As soon as Qin Lang thought of Qin Yimo’s situation, his eyes became resolute. He gritted his teeth and jumped onto the second floor.
The second floor is filled with many bookshelves, upon which are placed countless ancient books.
Fang Yu held Qin Yimo to the staircase landing of this floor, where there was a rectangular wooden bench for people to rest.
Fang Yu placed Qin Yimo on a wooden stool. With a thought, a light spot appeared at the tip of his right index finger, illuminating the small space.
A tiny light floated upwards and became a light bulb.
At this moment, one could clearly see that Qin Yimo’s eyes were tightly closed, her neck was unnaturally pale with a faint shadow emanating from it.
“Mr. Fang, what’s going on with my cousin…” Qin Lang widened his eyes and looked at Qin Yimo.
“I was just attacked.” Fang Yu replied simply.
“Attacked? How could this be…” Qin Lang’s face turned extremely ugly.
Qin Yimo had been targeted by someone, a fact that the entire Qin family had known for a long time.
But Qin Lang never expected that this time, at the doorstep of the Qin family estate, the other party would dare to make a move!
And, in front of Fang Yu!
“Mr. Fang, did you see what the other party looked like?” Qin Lang asked.
Fang Yu shook his head and said, “No.”
“Even Mr. Lian can’t counter…” Qin Lang’s face was full of astonishment.
To see someone’s appearance, you first need there to be such a person. Fang Yu said.
“Mr. Fang, do you mean…” Qin Lang exclaimed in astonishment.
“I felt that at the time, I wasn’t close to Qin Yimo.”
Fang Yu was certain that if someone had been around at the time, he would have sensed it.
But from the moment the black mist surged, to when it was dispersed by him, throughout that entire process, besides that large mass of cold and dark mist, Fang Yu hadn’t sensed even a trace of any other fluctuations in energy.
Is there really someone who can appear beside Fang Yu, yet remain completely undetectable by him?
Fang Yu is not arrogant, but thinks about this from an objective point of view.
That’s why he thought the attack just now, in fact, no one appeared around.
That specific spot on the path must have had a hidden formation set up beforehand, or some kind of mechanism.
When Fang Yu and Qin Yimo reached the path, they triggered a mechanism or formation, causing a black mist to emerge.
Compared to someone having appeared but evaded Fang Yu’s perception, the possibility of no one being there is greater.
But in either case, a conclusion can be drawn.
Indeed, there are ghosts within the Qin family.
Fang Yu and Qin Yimo came to stroll along the path outside the Qin family’s mansion on a whim.
And the mechanisms or formations on the path must inevitably be set up in advance.
It is clear that someone inside the Qin family has been monitoring Qin Yimo’s whereabouts, reporting her situation at all times.
And this mole, it’s hard to pinpoint for the time being.
As Fang Yu and Qin Yimo walked out of the Qin family’s gate, they encountered many people along the way.
To find the mole is easy to say, but difficult to do. It takes time.
