“Longbetham, contact the Divine Palace directly and collect as much information about His Highness Domila as possible. It would be best if we can obtain His Highness Domia’s trajectory on the Planet of the Matrix.”

“Yes, Master.”

Hence, Longbetham began to communicate with the Divine Palace. Domila’s information was easily obtained, but there was almost no way to know about Domila’s whereabouts.

“Master, His Highness Domila is an elementary planetary lifeform. He accepted the mission of the Matrix civilization a month ago and began to investigate the Matrix civilization. Moreover, he has always been on Planet Matrix. Contact with him was lost eight days ago.”

Longbetham had obtained some information about Domila, but it was not enough to satisfy Lin Feng, because this information was very basic and not too valuable.

“Wait, how did the Divine Palace know that Domila had lost contact?”

“Master, His Highness Domila also has a follower. Just like me, His Highness Domila’s follower also divided a portion of its consciousness to follow His Highness Domila. Eight days ago, the consciousness of the follower around His Highness Domila suddenly disappeared, which is why the Divine Palace suspects that His Highness Domila is missing.”

Lin Feng understood at once. So it was because of his follower.

Followers were very important to cultivators, and the Divine Palace could also determine the safety of cultivators through the situation of their followers. It was actually a good thing for both parties.

“He has disappeared for eight days already?”

Lin Feng frowned. Eight days was not that long, but nor was it a short time. Without a specific address, it was very difficult to find him. If fiends really existed, all traces would probably have been erased long ago.

“Longbetham, where would a cultivator with six life transitions most likely to go?” Lin Feng asked thoughtfully.

“Master, Domila is an ascetic cultivator. If he accepted the mission on the Matrix civilization, it was all for the rewards. For ascetic cultivators like him, the mission is everything. He would probably investigate the situation regarding the fiends immediately.”

Lin Feng’s eyes lit up.

“That’s right. We still have to start with the information on the fiends. If Domila’s disappearance is really related to the fiends, it means that Domila has already found some clues about the fiends, which is why the fiends are targeting him. According to this deduction, it’s very likely that we can find clues about the fiends from the existing information.”

Lin Feng felt that he had already found the right direction of thinking.

Hence, he sorted out some information regarding fiends again. The intelligence from the Divine Palace indicated that there might be traces of fiends in the Matrix civilization, and their true purpose was unknown.

From the looks of it, the fiends did not devour planets, nor did they devour many intelligent lifeforms. Instead, they hid in the crowd. There must be a major scheme. action

After what happened in the Blue River Empire, Lin Feng would not underestimate anyone again.

This was especially the case for fiends. If they really hid and planned slowly, it would definitely be flawless. It would be too difficult to find them.

“I’ll go to the virtual network rooms, ideally somewhere close to the spatial passage, and search through the virtual network rooms one by one.”

A trace of determination flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes.

According to his deduction, an ascetic cultivator would definitely not be willing to waste a single moment. He would definitely enter the virtual network room to look up on major events regarding the Matrix civilization.

This was because it’s what Lin Feng himself had done, and he happened to be an ascetic cultivator!

He believed that His Highness Domila must have been to the virtual network room before as well.

Hence, Lin Feng began to search through the virtual network rooms one after another. He even showed Domila’s image for identification.

Finally, three days later, Lin Feng found traces of Domila’s previous stay in a virtual network room not far from the spatial passage.

There were even surveillance footage that showed Domila’s figure, which was from exactly a month ago.

Lin Feng asked Longbetham to hack into the nearby surveillance system. This was a minor matter to Longbetham. Soon, Lin Feng found Domila through the nearby surveillance.

For more than 20 days, Domila wandered around, as if he was searching for something.

However, on the 22nd day, Domila disappeared. Then, all the content of the surveillance cameras seemed to disappear.

“Someone messed with them.”

Lin Feng was certain that there must be traces of Domila’s disappearance contained within.

Since the surveillance cameras had been tampered with, Lin Feng simply went to the hotel where Domila was staying. Moreover, both Domila and Lin Feng coincidentally chose the Crystal Palace Hotel.

With these clues, Lin Feng believed that he would soon be able to follow the trail and find the truth behind Domila’s disappearance.

…

“Someone is looking for Domila’s whereabouts.”

“I knew it. Domila is from the Divine Palace of Bemond. Once he went missing, the Divine Palace of Bemond definitely would not let the matter rest.”

“I told you not to provoke the people from the Divine Palace of Bemond. Our plan is the most important thing. Nothing is allowed to go wrong. But what did you do? You actually devoured an upper district disciple of the Divine Palace of Bemond!”

“If not for me, Domila would have discovered our plan long ago. It wouldn’t even have lasted until now.”

The room fell silent again, but three figures could be seen in the dark room.

“What should we do now?”

After a long while, another deep voice sounded in the dark room.

“I suggest that we get rid of this person!”

“No. We’ve already alerted the Divine Palace of Bemond by getting rid of Domila. If we kill this person too, won’t the Divine Palace send more people directly? This is too risky for our plan. I disagree.”

“Then do you have a better idea?”

“I think we should speed up the plan. Three days. In at most three days, the plan must proceed!”

“Three days? I’m not sure if those old fellows in the Science Academy will agree. Moreover, we have to be careful. The Matrix civilization has the power to threaten us directly.”

“Of course I understand, but it’s worth taking some risks. Once the plan succeeds, we can all undergo metamorphosis. Haha, apart from galactic lifeforms, who can do anything to us?”

“All right then. For these three days, ignore that disciple from the Divine Palace of Bemond and let him investigate.”

The three of them seemed to have made a decision. Hence, the three of them disappeared silently in the darkness.

…

The person in charge of the Crystal Palace Hotel had really been a little frightened recently.

A cultivator had suddenly appeared, and made him rather resigned. The cultivator pulled up surveillance footage again and again, and kept going to a certain room to search for something again and again.

He even secretly asked some cultivators to come over, but before he even saw their faces, those cultivators had already been dealt with.

He knew that he had encountered a powerful cultivator. From then on, he did not dare to resist, and followed the cultivator’s orders.

The cultivator was naturally Lin Feng. He had been in the Crystal Palace Hotel for a long time, but he had no clue at all.

At this moment, he was staying in the room that Domila had stayed in previously.

There were only some scattered magazines inside. There was nothing special about them.

The news was still playing on the television. In the past few days, the news had been reporting on something repeatedly. The Science Academy of Matrix civilization was going to conduct a major experiment—capturing a black hole!
