Chapter 513: Blood Lotus, Black Scorpion Forces_2
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Yao looked at the street in front of him.
On the streets, passersby were bustling about.
And at this moment, in a corner of the street,
a figure stood quietly there, watching Luo Yao, and whispered, "I didn't expect this kid to actually know about the Blood Lotus."
"It seems this kid is no simple matter."
Having said this, he turned and left the place.
Meanwhile, inside the City Lord's Mansion,
Luo Yao had returned to his own room.
Sitting on the bed, he thought: Where could that Blood Lotus be?
Thinking thus, he closed his eyes and began his cultivation.
Outside his room,
two people dressed in black and white stood there, looking towards Luo Yao's room, thinking, "This Luo Yao... seems indeed to be extraordinary. Not to mention anything else, just this person's methods alone say a lot, and that's not even considering the terrifying background behind him, a behemoth, the Luo Family of Qingshi City."
With these thoughts, they turned and left the place.
Inside the room,
Luo Yao slowly opened his eyes, a trace of cold light flickering within them.
"Blood Lotus," he muttered in a low voice.
After a moment, Luo Yao summoned the middle-aged men dressed in black and white.
He wanted to ask them properly.
Specifically, why had the Blood Lotus in the City Lord's Mansion garden suddenly disappeared?
Had it been taken away quietly by the remaining people in the mansion when he wasn't paying attention?
"Young Master Luo," the two men entered Luo Yao's room and respectfully said, "You called for us?"
"That Blood Lotus inside the City Lord's Mansion..." Luo Yao looked at the two and asked indifferently, "Do you know where it has gone?"
"Blood Lotus?" The two exchanged glances, seemingly completely unaware of the matter.
After all, the Blood Lotus was the City Lord's personal property.
They hadn't paid much attention to such matters.
"You don't know?" Luo Yao looked at them and asked indifferently.
"We really don't know," the two exchanged glances and replied respectfully, "We are not aware of the whereabouts of the Blood Lotus."
"Alright then." Saying this, Luo Yao headed straight for the door.
He planned to search the City Lord's Mansion himself thoroughly.
The Blood Lotus, after all, was a rare Spiritual Medicine.
With that in mind, he reached the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.
He began to search meticulously for traces of the Blood Lotus.
But after searching for a long while, he found no sign of the Blood Lotus.
Reluctantly, Luo Yao had no choice but to give up the search.
He couldn't continue to waste time here, after all.
Thinking this way, he left the place.
On a street outside the City Lord's Mansion,
a figure stood quietly, watching Luo Yao walk out from the mansion, and said softly, "It seems like this Luo Yao can't find the Blood Lotus."
"If that's the case... then won't I be making a tidy profit?"
Afterward, he turned and left the place.
On the streets,
Luo Yao watched the people coming and going, with traces of cold light flickering in his eyes.
This Bi Wan City... seemed to be no simple place.
Thinking this, he headed straight out of the City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, inside the City Lord's Mansion,
the two people in black and white stood there, watching Luo Yao leave, knowing there was no longer any need to stay.
After all, they were still subordinates of Luo Yao.
Therefore, they needed to continue to stay by his side and serve him.
Thinking this way, they also left the place.
On the streets,
Luo Yao walked, while pondering some matters.
And just as he was lost in thought,
a mysterious old man in black, exuding a faintly cold aura, suddenly appeared by his side.
This old man was one of the three peerage members of the Shadow Guard known as Zhen.
And the main reason for Zhen's presence here...
```
It was because he had discovered some traces of the Blood Lotus.
"Young Master," Zhen said respectfully, "I have found some traces related to the Blood Lotus, only..."
"Only what?" Luo Yao asked, looking at Zhen with a faint tone.
"Only... it seems that the Blood Lotus has been snatched away by the Black Scorpion faction within Bi Wan City," Zhen stated, a flicker of doubt passing through his eyes.
"The Black Scorpion faction?" Luo Yao murmured under his breath.
He remembered that the middle-aged men clad in black and white had once mentioned that the Black Scorpion faction was considered one of the top forces within Bi Wan City.
However, because the Black Scorpion faction was well-hidden,
their knowledge about this faction was not very extensive.
Thinking thus, Luo Yao looked at Zhen and asked lightly, "Are you certain it was someone from the Black Scorpion faction who took the Blood Lotus?"
"I am merely speculating," Zhen replied, exchanging a glance.
"Speculating..." Luo Yao murmured.
After that, he directly headed towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, inside the City Lord's Mansion,
the two men clad in black and white stood there, their brows slightly furrowing as they saw Luo Yao returning to this place.
Then, they lowered their heads slightly,
expressing their respect.
"Young Master Luo," they said respectfully, "you have returned."
"Mhm." Luo Yao looked at the two, asking faintly, "Do you know of the Black Scorpion faction?"
"The Black Scorpion faction?" The two exchanged a glance, a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes.
They had heard of the Black Scorpion faction,
but they knew very little about it.
Moreover, this faction had little to do with them.
"You don't know?" Luo Yao asked, looking at them, a flash of doubt shimmering in his eyes.
This Black Scorpion faction... It seems rather mysterious.
Thinking so, he walked directly outside.
If that were the case, then he would personally inquire throughout Bi Wan City.
To see what kind of existence the Black Scorpion faction really was.
With such thoughts, he found himself on a street within Bi Wan City.
On the street, passersby were busy with their comings and goings.
And Luo Yao stood in a corner of the street, gazing at these passersby and casually asked in a low voice, "Does anyone know of the Black Scorpion faction?"
"The Black Scorpion faction?" The passersby exchanged glances, seeming completely unaware of this matter.
After all, the Black Scorpion faction was one of the secrets of Bi Wan City.
If one was not a local, it was impossible to know about this.
"You don't know?" Luo Yao observed the passersby, a trace of doubt flickering in his eyes.
Could it be... that the Black Scorpion faction was hidden deeply?
Otherwise, why would these people be completely ignorant of this matter?
With such thoughts, he decided to continue his inquiries.
After all, he desired to know the precise location of the Black Scorpion faction.
With that in mind, he had already reached another street.
The people here... seemed to be a bit more numerous.
He wished to investigate in this area.
On the street,
Luo Yao walked along, questioning some of the passersby.
But it appeared that none of them knew anything about it.
With no other choice, Luo Yao had to abandon his plans to continue the search.
After all, proceeding in this manner was not a solution.
Thinking so, he went directly to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion and returned to his own room.
Inside the room.
Luo Yao sat on the bed, his eyes flickering with traces of doubt.
Where exactly was the Black Scorpion faction? Why were these people utterly oblivious to this matter?
This Bi Wan City... seemed more complex than he had imagined.
Thinking so, he sat cross-legged on the bed and resumed his cultivation.
Within the room.
Time slowly slipped by.
A faint trace of Qi-Blood Force began to emanate from Luo Yao's body, and his aura gradually increased in those brief moments.
