Chapter 1572: 1572
In terms of prowess, Zhao Ya and Wei Ruyan were still far beneath Yang shi . Nevertheless, due to their unique abilities, in a real battle, even Yang shi would have much difficulty dealing with them .
But despite their strength, they were still unable to send a signal for help before they were taken away . Unless it was him with the Pavilion Master Seal activated or an Ancient Sage personally making a move, he could not think of anyone who could pull this off .
Eye of Insight!
Zhang Xuan swiftly scanned the surroundings .
A moment later, a frown appeared on his forehead as his face turned livid .
There isn't any trace of at all?
The Eye of Insight had never failed him before, but at that very moment, it was not working!
In the past, as long as he observed close enough, he would be able to find something amiss . However, no matter how he squinted, he could not find any traces of the assailant or the trail of his students . It was almost as if they had evaporated on the spot!
"Those two students of yours are considerably powerful . For the assailant to be able to kidnap them without leaving any trace behind, it must be a formidable foe!" Sword Saint Meng remarked grimly .
"Could it be the doing of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?" Zhang Xuan asked .
"The killing intent that Otherworldly Demons emanate is too powerful for it to be concealed entirely . Since there isn't any trace of their killing intent here, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be their doing… However, if the culprit is an Ancient Sage Otherworldly Demon, that might not hold anymore," Sword Saint Meng replied .
"Ancient Sage…" Zhang Xuan's complexion turned terribly awful .
While he did have some conflict with the Master Teacher Pavilion, they had already been resolved . It was unlikely that the master teachers would do something as ignoble as getting back at him through his students afterward .
As for the other powers, the only way that they could nab his students was to mobilize their Ancient Sages .
However, the human Ancient Sages did not have much time left, so to awaken them just to capture his students… the notion did not seem too probable .
Thus, that made the Otherworldly Demonic Emperor the most likely culprit .
Noticing her son's agitation, Sword Saint Meng quickly stepped forward and took charge of the situation . "Calm down, let's check the area once more . We might be able to find something . The most important thing that we have to do right now is confirm whom the culprit is and whether your students are in any danger!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in response .
It was hard to remain rational when it came to something that affected one . Instead of panicking, the most important thing at hand was indeed to confirm if the two of them were safe .
So, they went through every single detail that could be found in the vicinity, checking every nook and cranny carefully .
"Did you manage to find anything?" Sword Saint Meng asked .
Zhang Xuan shook his head . "The culprit is either very skilled in concealing their tracks or they really vanished into thin air, leaving nothing behind at all! What about you?"
The person who had nabbed Zhao Ya and Wei Ruyan had utilized some kind of unfathomable means that rendered even the Eye of Insight useless in identifying and tracking them down .
"I managed to figure out a few things!" Sword Saint Meng replied . "Firstly, based on the battle marks, the culprit used a total of two moves in order to subdue Zhao Ya and Wei Ruyan, rendering the both of them completely helpless . "
"Two moves?" Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes .
"That's right . While there are many smaller holes on the ground, which makes it seem as if there was an intense battle, there are only two larger pits . The first pit is cloaked with a layer of frost, so I deduce that it should be the area where Zhao Ya faced off with the culprit!"
Tracing Sword Saint Meng's finger, Zhang Xuan saw a slightly deeper pit with chilling frost lingering around it .
"It's likely that Zhao Ya was intending to launch an attack, but it was deflected by the culprit . The deflected energy ended up scattering around the area, resulting in the many smaller holes . From that, it could be seen that even when Zhao Ya was utilizing the limits of her strength, she was still no match for the culprit at all," Sword Saint Meng analyzed .
Zhang Xuan examined the surroundings once more and realized that the smaller holes seemed to congregate around the larger pit, which lent credibility to Sword Saint Meng's analysis . Furthermore, there were no notable marks of battle aside from that, so it was safe to assume that the battle had ended with that single collision .
"The same applies to Wei Ruyan through the other pit . Furthermore, from the proximity of the two larger pits, my guess is that the both of them made a move simultaneously, but the culprit still managed to subdue them with ease!" Sword Saint Meng said with a grim look on her face .
