Chapter 254: 254
Sect disciples disappearing was a serious issue . The Elders had informed them of the path those disciples took before they set off . They only needed to follow that path to find out any suspicious places .

“Deer City? Where is that? I have never heard of that before . ” Qin Huan read through the mission file .
There were three outer sect disciples who went missing when they were assigned to Deer City for their mission .
“Deer City is a small town . It was a carnage site a thousand years ago . There were wars and conflicts happening there all the time . Deer City was rebuilt and destroyed in wars again and again . It only settled down a few hundred years ago…” Ye Qingtang explained casually .
Qin Huan stared at her in surprise . How did this little girl know about all that?

Zhou Qu turned to look at Ye Qingtang frequently along the way . His sight was gloomy . He did not have any chance to confront her as Dai Changming asked everyone to rush along the way .
The team rode the horses for a few days, and a stretch of mountains appeared in front of them . The mountain was steep and blocked their way . Dai Changming and the rest came down from the horses . They frowned and stared at the mountains a few hundred meters tall .
“We have to cross the stretch of mountains in order to reach Deer City . ” Dai Changming contemplated for a while .
“The mountain here is too steep for the horses . Get ready to climb up . ”

Everyone’s faces were overcast with sadness after Dai Changming’s command . Horses could not climb up the mountains here . Even if they climbed by themselves, they might need to travel on foot for the road afterward .
Everyone could only quietly begin preparations . They tied the horses at the side, rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to climb .
The mountain was so steep that it was almost vertical . It was full of danger to climb by themselves . If they missed a step, they might just fall into the ridges .
When everyone was just about to climb, they suddenly heard the horses’ hooves from far . Two men in yellow were approaching the mountain on horses .

“Are they the disciples of the Wind Moon Sect?” Qin Huan was stunned as he saw the two men .
They both wore yellow clothes . The design made it obvious that they belonged to the Wind Moon Sect .
Disciples from all sects went missing, and all sects sent disciples out for investigation .
Ye Qingtang scanned them and captured the dragon pattern on their chest . She immediately knew their identities . The dragon pattern belonged to the Wind Moon Sect, and only inner sect disciples would have the patterns of their respective sects .
These two men were the Wind Moon Sect’s inner sect disciples!
Dai Changming and the rest also noticed that .
The investigation was carried out not only by the inner and outer sects but also by the respective Elders . It was normal to meet inner sect disciples from other sects .
The two disciples of the Wind Moon Sect reached the front of the mountain . One of the young men took a glance at Ye Qingtang and the group, but he appeared to not notice them at all as he looked straight at the youth beside .
The youth was still a child that was at most twelve or thirteen years old . His face was still pure and innocent .
“Junior Brother, you seldom leave the sect . Going on the mission this time will let you go through some training . We will only need at most half a day to reach Deer City after crossing this stretch of mountains,” The young man said and smiled .
