Although this sounded a bit off, Lu Zheng's astonishment was genuine.
A dozen scholars vanished from the town all at once. No matter how you look at it, most should already be dead.
Ji Zizhen had been missing for four days, so the chance of survival was slim.
However...
Since they were alive, Lu Zheng didn't mind meddling in trivial matters. After all, it was just abducting some scholars in a remote town; at most, there would be some little demons and little ghosts. How much Dao practice could they have?
"It's about ten miles northwest of North Town. What place is it?" Lu Zheng asked the Innkeeper.
The Innkeeper, with a small mustache, showed a flash of fear in his eyes, "Ten miles northwest of North Town?"
"Right!" Lu Zheng nodded, "What's the matter, any issues?"
The Innkeeper swallowed hard, "That's Li Family Castle... it's been abandoned for decades..."
