The mont Hu Yan and Han Jue left the house, both of them imdiately gathered the three cubs into their arms before rushing toward the City Lord’s residence without stopping for even a second.
The night wind blew fiercely against their faces, but neither of them slowed down. Their hearts were already in complete chaos.
Right now, the only person they could rely on was Su Mingxuan. They had to tell him that Su Qinglan had disappeared.
And they also needed soone to stay in the city in case she returned while they searched outside.
The three cubs stayed unusually quiet in their fathers’ arms the entire way. None of them cried or made noise. Their small faces were pale and nervous, and even their little claws were clutching tightly onto their fathers’ clothes.
They were afraid.
Afraid sothing bad had happened to their mother.
Soon, they finally arrived at the City Lord’s house.
The mont Su Mingxuan heard that Su Qinglan was missing, his entire expression changed completely.
"What did you say?!"
His voice instantly rose as terrifying pressure exploded from his body.
"She disappeared?! How could she disappear?!"
His face instantly turned pale as rage and panic filled his eyes. Even his breathing beca unstable. He imdiately wanted to rush outside himself and search for her.
"How long has she been missing?! Why didn’t you tell sooner?!"
Beside him, Wang Mulan also felt the world spinning around her. Her daughter had just returned to her side. And now she had disappeared again.
For a mont, darkness clouded her vision so heavily that her body almost collapsed.
Fortunately, Mo Qingli quickly stepped forward and caught her waist before supporting her carefully.
"Mulan, calm down," he said quickly while holding her shoulders gently. "Nothing will happen to Qinglan. We will definitely find her."
But the mont Wang Mulan heard those words, the fear in her heart completely exploded.
Tears instantly rushed out from her eyes.
"My daughter..."
Her voice trembled badly.
"What if sothing really happened to her..."
The three cubs could no longer endure it when they saw their grandmother crying.
Their own eyes imdiately turned red.
Without hesitation, they climbed into Wang Mulan’s lap and hugged her tightly one after another like frightened little animals seeking comfort.
Wang Mulan’s heart softened instantly.
Even though her own emotions were collapsing, she still forcefully controlled her tears because she did not want to scare the cubs even more.
She gently stroked their little heads lovingly and whispered softly,
"Don’t worry... everything will be fine. Grandma and Grandpa are here."
The cubs nodded quietly before burying themselves deeper into her lap.
For so reason, Wang Mulan’s aura made them feel extrely safe and warm. The fear inside their little hearts slowly cald down while staying beside her.
anwhile, Su Mingxuan stood nearby and looked at the family with a heavy expression.
Then he turned toward his mate, whose eyes were also already red from worry.
After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke in a low voice.
"I’ll go with them and search for Qinglan."
Hu Yan and Han Jue instantly looked toward him. Neither of them refused. The more people searching, the higher the chance of finding Su Qinglan faster.
Wang Mulan also did not stop him.
Instead, she imdiately looked at him with pleading eyes and said,
"Go... please find my daughter quickly."
Su Mingxuan nodded firmly. Then the three n imdiately turned around and walked outside together.
However...
The mont the three of them stepped out from the stone house, their footsteps instantly stopped.
A terrifying pressure suddenly covered the entire area.
The air itself beca heavy.
Hu Yan’s expression darkened imdiately while Han Jue was stunned. Even Su Mingxuan’s sharp eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked ahead.
Outside the city lord’s residence, more than twenty beastn were already standing there silently.
Every single one of them carried an extrely oppressive aura.
Their bodies were tall and powerful, wrapped in dark cloaks, while strange beast marks glowed faintly on their necks and arms. So carried strange things behind their backs while so only folded their arms coldly, but no one dared underestimate them.
And standing at the very front was a silver-haired man.
His silver hair almost reached his waist while a black robe loosely covered his muscular body. His face was cold and handso to the point of being frightening, and his eyes were completely emotionless as he stared toward the house.
The mont Mo Qingli saw him clearly, the cup in his hand slipped directly onto the ground.
Clang.
The sound was especially clear in the silent atmosphere.
Mo Qingli’s pupils shrank violently.
"T-The Upper Domain..."
His voice was almost trembling.
Upper Domain. Just those two words alone were enough to make him terrified.
That was a place filled with true monsters. The real powerful existences of the beast world.
Why would people from the Upper Domain suddenly appear here?
And most importantly...
Why now?
The silver-haired man finally lifted his eyes lazily before his gaze swept across everyone present. His expression did not change even slightly, as though he was looking at ants.
Then his cold voice slowly rang out.
"We are searching for soone."
His voice was calm, but the pressure behind it made everyone’s breathing tighten.
Su Mingxuan imdiately stepped forward and shielded Wang Mulan behind him instinctively.
His expression was already ugly.
"Who are you searching for?"
The silver-haired man looked at him indifferently before suddenly taking out a scroll.
The scroll slowly opened in front of everyone.
And the mont they saw the portrait inside...
Everyone’s expression changed drastically.
Because the man inside the portrait was none other than Xuan Long.
Hu Yan’s face instantly turned pale. His fingers trembled violently.
Why...
Why were people from the Upper Domain searching for him?
The silver-haired man looked at everyone’s changing expressions before his eyes narrowed slightly.
"So he truly is here." He didn’t get the wrong news.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
Han Jue’s heart sank heavily while Hu Yan’s fists clenched so tightly that veins bulged from his arms.
Sothing was wrong.
Very wrong.
One problem had not even been solved yet, and now another terrifying existence had suddenly appeared. Before anyone could speak again, the silver-haired man suddenly asked coldly,
"Where is Xuan Long?"
His sharp gaze swept across everyone like blades.
"No one lies to ."
At that mont, Mo Qingli suddenly felt his heart beating wildly. And his fast instinct was to actually hide Xiao San. Because he knew if they got a look at him, even Xuan Long would not be able to save his son from their clutches.
