Chapter 1557 – Goodbye to the Hunting Ancestor

　　”Gone?”

　　Hearing these words, Lin Qiye froze, “What do you mean disappeared, the hospital is just this big, where could he go?”

　　”I don’t know! But I’ve searched everywhere, and even asked the other caregivers to help look together, but I just haven’t found him!”

　　Lin Qiye’s brows were tightly locked, and in the next moment, his mental power covered the entire hospital, the inpatient building, the escorts’ dormitories, and the underground prison …… He carefully searched every place, and still found no trace of Yelander.

　　”Really gone?” Lin Qiye spoke suspiciously.

　　How was this possible?

　　By now Lin Qiye had seen a lot of strange patients, but directly in the hospital disappeared or the first time to see, according to reason, without his permission the patient should not run out of the hospital to, that Yelander exactly where to go?

　　”…… what to do next?” Li Yi Fei was a bit flustered, how come he just came back and lost a patient?

　　Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and spoke, “Don’t be anxious, first let all the caretakers spread out, search every corner of the sickbay, if you find anything suspicious, report it in a timely manner …… I’ll go ask Gilgamesh.”

　　”Good!”

　　Li Yi Fei immediately went back to mobilize the escorts to start searching, countless figures scattered in all directions, the peace of the sickbay was shattered, and a rare hubbub arose.

　　Lin Qiye walked straight to the second floor of the sick building and knocked on Gilgamesh’s room door.

　　”Enter.”

　　Lin Qiye walked into the room, Gilgamesh was leaning against the wall looking out the window, when he walked in, he slightly sidled his head:

　　”Why is it so noisy outside?”

　　”Yellande is missing.”

　　”Missing?” Gilgamesh froze and spoke in confusion, “Where could he have disappeared to?”

　　”I don’t know …… but I searched the sickbay with my spiritual power and couldn’t find him.” Lin Qiye asked back, “Have you seen him during this time?”

　　Gilgamesh thought carefully, “I’ve seen him playing chess with Li Yifei.”

　　”And after playing chess?”

　　”Then he headed to the roof of the building that he usually goes to on weekdays.”

　　Lin Qiye turned his head to look out the window, from this position in Gilgamesh’s hospital room, he could see the top of the opposite floor, Lin Qiye remembered that Yelander often overlooked the sickbay from there when he had nothing to do.

　　”This king hates that guy, because every time he stands here, it’s like he’s looking down on this king ……” Gilgamesh looked like he thought of something, and coldly grunted with a very unhappy look.

　　”Then is there anything unusual about him lately?”

　　”Abnormal …… “Gilgamesh thought for a moment, “In addition to his fondness for looking down, lately he seems to like to raise his head to look at the sky, which is something that this king accidentally discovered.”

　　”Look up at the sky? Is there anything in the sky?”

　　”No, there’s clearly nothing.”

　　Lin Qiye frowned more and more tightly, under Gilgamesh’s description, Yelander’s behavior was getting stranger and stranger …… although he was already strange.

　　Lin Qiye asked a few more questions, but there was no longer any gain, Gilgamesh after all couldn’t stand by the window every day staring at Yellande, seeing that old man with a kind smile on his face would only make him feel annoyed.

　　Seeing that Gilgamesh had no more information here either, Lin Qiye could only leave the sickbay for the time being, leaving this matter to Li Yifei and the others.

　　”What’s wrong? You don’t seem to look too good.”

　　On the somersault cloud, Cao Yuan saw Lin Qiye’s expression change and opened his mouth to ask, “If you’re tired of flying, we can go down and rest for a while.”

　　”No need, I’m fine.”

　　Lin Qiye confirmed the direction that the somersault clouds were flying towards, his spiritual power then began to observe the surrounding area, more than an hour had passed since they left Daxia, with the speed of the somersault clouds, they should have reached the vicinity of the Americas by now, however, there was still no sign of the Heavenly Court.

　　”Looks like we failed this time ……,” Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment before he was about to rethrow the tree branch, when he suddenly seemed to notice something and his brows suddenly locked up!

　　He violently turned his head to look in a certain direction.

　　At the same time, Cao Yuan also smelled a hint of something unusual, and his palm quickly rested on the end of the hilt of his sword, looking around vigilantly, ready to draw his sword at any time.

　　In the nothingness of the forward direction of the somersault clouds, a smoky haze-like figure slowly coalesced out.

　　It was a figure shrouded in black robes, with a wide brim covering his face, without the slightest breath flowing from his body, floating in midair like a ghost.

　　The moment he saw that figure, Lin Qiye’s pupils contracted slightly…

　　”Number 27?”

　　At the time of Asgard’s turmoil, No. 27 killed Loki along with Si Xiaonan, and according to his agreement with Lin Qiye, Lin Qiye needed to help him find a person …… But ever since the destruction of Asgard, Lin Qiye had never seen him again.

　　Running into him here at this moment, Lin Qiye was very surprised.

　　Cao Yuan narrowed his eyes at the black shadow, his muscles tensed, Lin Qiye gently shook his head, “Don’t be nervous, it’s not an enemy.”

　　”Is …… really not an enemy? Why do I feel a killing aura?” Cao Yuan couldn’t help but speak.

　　As the two spoke, the somersault cloud slowly stopped in front of No. 27, and Lin Qiye stood up and spoke respectfully:

　　”Greetings, Ancestor Hunter.”

　　Previously, although Lin Qiye knew that No. 27 was the Hunting Ancestor, he didn’t understand what the words “Hunting Ancestor” stood for, but after going to the Ancestral God Temple, he had already deeply realized the power of the Ancestral Gods, a group of ancestors who had positively crushed the Grammatical System countless years ago!

　　Hearing these words, the eyebrows under No. 27’s hood rose slightly, and the icy killing intent that permeated the air stagnated.

　　Lin Qiye felt something bad when he sensed the other party’s aura, but he wasn’t sure what had happened and continued to speak, “I didn’t know about ancestor Hunting Ancestor’s true body before, so I was rash in my words, so please understand.”

　　No. 27 carefully sized him up for a few moments and said in a deep voice, “You’ve been to the Ancestral God Temple?”

　　”Yes.”

　　No. 27 gazed at him in silence, seemingly pondering something.

　　”Senior Ancestor Hunter, where have you been during this period of time? Didn’t I say I was going to help you find someone?” Seeing that the atmosphere was inexplicably frozen again, Lin Qiye took the initiative and said.

　　”…… “27 was silent for a moment, his eyes under the hood looking at Lin Qiye narrowed slightly, “Where have I been? Why don’t you say where you went? When I went to look for you after killing Loki, I realized that you had already returned to Daxia.

　　There is a Heavenly Sovereign sitting in the territory of Da Xia, and I didn’t want to contact them head on, so I waited for an opportunity outside the border …… until today when I sensed your aura leaving the border in the mist, and only then did I chase you all the way up.”

　　No. 27 paused, his voice gradually turning cold, “You, haven’t you been avoiding me because you don’t want to fulfill the contract?”

　　Feeling the coldness emanating from No. 27, Lin Qiye’s forehead began to ooze cold sweat, and

　　So this is where the problem lies!

　　He hastily opened his mouth to explain:

　　”No. …… I thought that you would be like the Blazing Angel at the time and come straight into Daxia to look for me. …… You didn’t show up for so long, so I thought that you had something to do, so I’ve been waiting.

　　However, aren’t you a Hunting Ancestor? It’s not like you’re an Outer God that’s hostile to the Grand Xia, so why are you unwilling to step into my Grand Xia’s borders?”
