251: Chapter 251 North and South Regions

The Linhai Sea Region is divided into the North and South Regions.

The sea region bordering Longnan Prefecture is entirely part of the South Linhai Region, while the small island where Laughing Arhat is located is in the North Linhai Region.

Although both regions belong to the same sea, they are thousands of miles apart.

Taking the sailing speed of the yunfan no. 2 as an example, even if the voyage did not deviate by a single inch, it would take at least seven days to cross between the two regions.

Of course, a pirate ship would be at least fifty percent faster, but even so, it would take no less than five days.

But if that were the case, the two might not have met with an accident. However, Laughing Arhat felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.

"Perhaps Old Nine thought this hunt was just a routine matter and didn't mention it to Big Brother, just a momentary oversight. Big Brother, do not worry too much; perhaps Second Brother and Old Nine are already on their way back. I will keep an eye on this over the next few days. If there is any news about Second Brother and Old Nine, I will inform you immediately," Dusan consoled him.

This explanation naturally did not convince Laughing Arhat.

However, since the two were far away in the South Linhai Region, he could not make the trip himself in the short term.

Therefore, everything had to be put on hold for the time being.

"I hope so. Third Brother, you must also keep a low profile during this time; do not let the Evil Suppression Bureau set their sights on you," Laughing Arhat warned.

"Understood." Dusan replied and immediately left.

Night fell, and darkness shrouded the sky over Longnan Prefecture City.

It was already the Hour of the Bo, and the streets were long deserted; the dark alleys were deathly silent.

Most people had already entered the land of dreams by this hour. However, inside the Evil Suppression Bureau, a room was brightly lit.

Through the candlelight, figures could be vaguely seen moving about. Clearly, the owner of this room had not yet gone to sleep and was troubled by something.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the main entrance of the room. Immediately, the door was opened, and the figure walked straight in.

Following that, the sound of two people conversing rose from within the room.

"How is it? Have you found out clearly about that Grandmaster from the Pei Clan?"

"The intelligence is all here. Please take a look for yourself first. If it is not detailed enough, I will go and investigate further tomorrow."

"Very well, I will take a look myself."

The next day. Just after finishing breakfast, Wang Hengshan was impatient and summoned Liu Sandao over, tossing the letter in his hand directly to him.

"This is the intelligence gathered yesterday regarding that Grandmaster from the Pei Clan. Once Magistrate Liu has had a look, we shall talk."

Taking the letter, Liu Sandao narrowed his eyes into slits and looked at the person behind Wang Hengshan, his expression filled with a bit more appreciation.

"Commander Wang, you still have quite a few talents under your command. It took less than a day to get this done. I had thought that what Commander Wang said yesterday was merely a joke."

Hearing this, Wang Hengshan immediately changed his expression.

This kind of flattery was a trap. If anyone truly believed it, they would be in for a great misfortune. "Magistrate Liu, you joke. How would I dare to make fun of you? If it weren't for the all-night investigation yesterday, we wouldn't have been able to find this out today; it's nothing special."

"Commander Wang, you are being too modest." Liu Sandao smiled and began to examine the letter in his hand.

Soon, he had finished reading the contents of the letter, a look of deep thought appearing in his eyes.

"This Grandmaster from the Pei Clan is not from Longnan Prefecture, but comes from a Great Family in a county town under Jinhuai Prefecture. With such a background and strength, how could he have escaped from the hands of Bao Er and He Jiu?" Liu Sandao looked at Commander Wang, his eyes full of doubt.

"Magistrate Liu, I know what you mean, but this intelligence is true. This Grandmaster from the Pei Clan is named Pei Qingyun, and he truly does come from a county-level Great Family."

"He even set out to sea with the Yun Family more than half a month ago. There were more than fifty people in the group, and in the end, including him, only six returned. This point was witnessed by many; it cannot be false," Wang Hengshan explained.

Wang Hengshan was not surprised by Liu Sandao's reaction. At first, he too found it hard to believe this conclusion.

A mere Grandmaster from a county-level Great Family, no matter how strong, how strong could he really be? Not to mention that this county was just a small county town in a prefecture like Jinhuai. The resources were too scarce to support a powerhouse.

But he knew even better that the subordinate under his command would never provide false intelligence, even if they couldn't find anything. Moreover, there was no benefit in providing fake intelligence. He did not believe that his subordinate would be that foolish.
