Chapter 679 A White-Clad Woman's Plea

"Is what he said true?"

For safety, Ning Beichen still inquired of the six subdued Fallen Ones under his control.

These six Fallen Ones nodded quickly.

Ning Beichen had returned, that Yama had returned, and he was even more ruthless, powerful, and mysterious than before. The bloody corpses on the ground had sunk their hopes of freedom into the abyss.

Ning Beichen did not kill Yan Xiong, but instead controlled him. Although this being could travel to the Fallen Realm, Ning Beichen would not go to the Fallen Realm immediately.

There were still many matters to attend to. When he truly decided to go to the Fallen Realm, he would definitely kill these people or take them with him, otherwise, as before, there would be betrayal and uncontrollable incidents.

After all, Ning Beichen still had quite a few friends and women in this world. Many of them were not cultivators, and Ning Beichen could not take them all with him.

Moreover, the world of cultivators was extremely dangerous, with the possibility of sects and entire clans being wiped out at any moment. It was not as peaceful as this place. Before possessing absolute strength, taking them away would be irresponsible not only to himself but also to them.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, Ning Beichen walked into a high-end restaurant. A woman in white was waiting inside. When she saw Ning Beichen enter, she quickly got up and walked towards him.

"Mr. Ning, I apologize for having to trouble you to come here in person."

The woman in white said to Ning Beichen very politely.

"It's nothing. You are Third Aunt's friend, which makes you my friend, Ning Beichen. There's no need to be so formal."

Ning Beichen said to the woman in white.

Soon, the two sat down in the restaurant. Although exquisite delicacies were laid out on the table, the woman in white had no appetite to look at them.

"Ms. Su, since you found me through Third Aunt, you must have something you need my help with. Just tell me what it is, don't be too reserved."

Ning Beichen said to her.

"Then I will tell you. It's like this, I have a daughter. She's an archaeologist. A few months ago, she suddenly went to Mexico alone, and there has been no news of her since."

Before she could finish speaking, Ning Beichen frowned and said to her.

"Ms. Su, if your daughter is missing, you should report it to the police, not come to me. I am not a police officer, and I probably can't help you with this."

"Mr. Ning, please don't leave yet, I beg you. I have already reported it to the police, both locally and in Mexico, but there has been no result. Mexico's reply is that they are investigating, but more than three months have passed..."

The woman in white said to Ning Beichen urgently.

"Ms. Su, please forgive my frankness, but cases of disappearance like this happen all the time. If even the local police can't help, there's no point in you looking for me."

Ning Beichen said to her. It wasn't that Ning Beichen didn't want to help, but that disappearances were the most troublesome cases, and it was possible her daughter was already dead.

If it were in other places, there might still be a chance, but that place was Mexico, and it was a border region. Based on Ning Beichen's experience, it was likely that her daughter had already met with misfortune.

"I know, Mr. Ning. I'm just holding onto a sliver of hope. Third Aunt said that if anyone in this world can find my daughter, only Mr. Ning has that ability."

The woman in white said to Ning Beichen with some anxiety.

"Third Aunt thinks too highly of me."

Ning Beichen replied helplessly.

If it weren't for Third Aunt's connection, he would have refused and left long ago. For Ning Beichen, who had just returned from another brutal world, a missing person was nothing. He had killed countless people in Xu Fengshan.

"Mr. Ning, I suspect my daughter's disappearance is not simple. I found this in her room. Please take a look."

The woman in white took out a piece of animal skin and handed it to Ning Beichen.

Although Ning Beichen didn't want to get involved in her affairs, out of respect for Third Aunt, he still took the animal skin and looked at it.

The animal skin seemed to depict some ancient patterns. These patterns had no discernible order, resembling a child's doodles. Ning Beichen looked at it for a long time but couldn't make sense of it.

Just as Ning Beichen was about to return the item to her, he suddenly remembered something. He took out his phone, took a picture of the contents on the animal skin, and then sent it to Liu Yilin, Haitang, and those few Fallen Ones, to see if they knew what this strange drawing was.

Within a few minutes, someone responded to Ning Beichen. It wasn't Liu Yilin or Haitang, but Yan Xiong.

"Master, this is ancient Tuya text. According to the patterns depicted, it seems to be related to a treasure legend..."

"Treasure? So, Ms. Su's daughter might have deciphered these Tuya characters and gone to search for the treasure."

Upon hearing Yan Xiong's answer, Ning Beichen's interest was immediately piqued.

If Ms. Su's daughter had simply gone missing, Ning Beichen would indeed have no interest. But if it was related to this treasure map, then Ning Beichen would be interested.

This was because Yan Xiong had mentioned that this treasure might be related to an ancient blessed land, and there might even be Bronze Shards within it.

"Ms. Su, I promise to help you find her, but I cannot guarantee whether I can find your daughter. You need to be mentally prepared, as so much time has passed."

Ning Beichen said to Ms. Su.

"Naturally. Whether or not you can find my daughter, I am extremely grateful to you."

Ms. Su said excitedly to Ning Beichen.

Not long after, Ning Beichen left. He also obtained some investigation materials and contact information about Ms. Su's daughter's time in Mexico from Ms. Su.

Although there was this animal skin map, there was only one, and it was not described in detail. However, according to Ms. Su, her daughter might have more of these animal skin maps.

Therefore, to find this place, one had to find her daughter, or at least investigate her daughter's whereabouts, before Ning Beichen could find this place.

Upon returning home, Ning Beichen informed Liu Yilin and then purchased a plane ticket to Mexico. This time, Ning Beichen brought Yan Xiong and the six Fallen Ones with him, to avoid any more trouble from these fellows if he left.

Moreover, Ning Beichen also needed manpower, especially Yan Xiong, who could understand the text on the animal skin.

Not long after, Ning Beichen and Yan Xiong walked out of the airport.

A few hours later, Ning Beichen arrived at the local investigation bureau. Through certain means, Ning Beichen quickly obtained a detailed investigation report regarding Ms. Su's daughter.
