Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Where’s the Wind Thunder Fruit Tree? The Wind Thunder Fruit Tree… is gone!”
Unable to determine the direction underground, Lin Yan went to a hidden place far away from the Wind Avoiding Hall. When he floated to the ground, the entire Qianning Palace was already in an uproar. A large group of inspectors and guards surrounded the Wind Avoiding Hall with murderous steps.
Lin Yan took a look and realized that the woman, Weiyang, had brought a large group of people with her. They were actually Natural People from the other carriage!
However, the number of people had decreased by a lot. More than half of them were not here. Moreover, the people standing now had uneasy expressions on their faces. They were in a daze as they were strictly watched by the four specialized experts from before.
“They were sent here… Could it be that they were originally prepared to feed the Wind Thunder Fruit Tree?!”
After talcing a closer look, Lin Yan quickly found that his three Puppet People were all severely injured. They were detained in the middle and were lying on the ground, their fate unknown.
If the tiger servants died, the Spirit Marrows in their bodies would be sucked dry and turn into the remains of the Spirit Marrow, making it easy for them to reveal flaws.
Hence, Lin Yan dived underground again and silently locked onto the tiger servants’ auras. He came under the three Puppet People lying on the ground and controlled them to twist their bodies.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
With three almost inaudible sounds, Lin Yan had already gouged out three Spirit Marrows from the bodies of the three Puppet People. Then, he stuffed them back. This way, the Spirit Marrows would not be drained into Spirit Marrow remains.
The Puppet People’s bodies immediately began to convulse and blood flowed non-stop.
“What happened to them!”
“They… they’re dead!”
“How is that possible! Who did it?!”
Ignoring the chaos of the others around him, Lin Yan silently passed through the sealed army and quickly sneaked out.
He did not leave immediately. If he disappeared immediately, Qianning Palace would immediately know that he was related to the disappearance of the Wind Thunder Fruit Tree.
The thoughts of these Puppet People were connected, and there was the existence of God. if he left rashly, he might attract the attention of God.
Therefore, he turned around and returned to the dormitory first. He sat down calmly and focused on studying the four Creation Treasure Fruits.
The three burly men at the side had already tidied up the dormitory and stacked their original clean beddings side by side for Lin Yan.
Soon, someone knocked on the door and came to investigate.
“Did any of you go out just now?”
“No!”
“We were all here!”
The three burly men immediately replied.
The person who knocked on the door recorded it down and took out another device that could check rhe difference between Puppet People and Natural People. He scanned the four of them one by one and confirmed that there was no mistake before immediately leaving.
It was obvious that they had targeted the new batch of people. They probably felt that some Natural People might have infiltrated the Puppet People’s team, so they checked them one by one.
“No one saw my exact appearance, and the wind and lightning that destroyed the palace in the end were the same as the wind and lightning of the Wind Thunder Fruit Tree itself. Therefore, there’s a high chance that they will think that something happened to the Wind Thunder Fruit Tree and be done with it…”
Lin Yan had already achieved his goal, so he naturally didn’t want to stay here any longer. In two days, he had to think of a way to create some large-scale chaos to hide the traces of his disappearance.
it seemed that because of the disappearance of the Wind Thunder Fruit Tree, the supervisor called Weiyang didn’t have the energy to care about these newly recruited people. Lin Yan stayed in the dormitory and studied the Creation Treasure Fruit in peace.
At the same time, he discovered many previous Natural People in the dormitory area, including the goateed man who was suspected to have framed him during the test!
However, these Natural People… had all transformed into Puppet People!
Instead, the group of Natural People he saw at the scene of the Wind Avoiding Hall was not here.
“So, more than half of the Natural People recruited by District Al have been transformed into Puppet People. The other half were originally prepared to be thrown to the Wind Thunder Fruit Tree as food?”
The entire District Al was a Puppet People society. There was no Natural People!
“Is this how the Puppet People restrict the number of Natural People…”
Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Coincidentally, if he wanted to leave, he had to silently limit the number of Puppet People.
Three days later.
Dong dong dong!
With a creak, the door was pushed open again. It was the same group of inspectors who had come to investigate last time. However, their expressions were even uglier than three days ago.
“The four of you! Have you been out in the past three days?”
“No.”
“Never.”
“We didn’t leave at all. Everyone outside can testify!”
That was the truth. The inspector could only give up. He continued to check them with the equipment and left with an even gloomier expression.

This was how the inspectors checked every dormitory.
However, it was obvious that they had gained nothing and could only leave.
This was already the fifth time in the past three days that they had come to investigate.
Other than the first time, the next four times were not for the Wind Thunder Fruit Tree, but for the strange disappearances that had happened continuously in the past three days!
For the past three days, the entire District Al seemed to have been enveloped by an invisible ghost. Every four to six hours, someone would disappear. It covered the four palaces of District Al, from guards to inspectors, from chefs to landscapers. There was no pattern. There were even Black Grade Noble Realm cultivators who disappeared silently without a trace..
