Chapter 2163: Disciple Missing 2
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Chaoyan had a vague sense of the situation unfolding on Wuyuan Island. Although this year, it was the Moon Sect that had orchestrated the gathering of the major sects, the other sects were not content to let the Moon Sect monopolize decision-making. Even if they were not directly involved in the proceedings, they had stationed their disciples to keep a close watch on Wuyuan Island, apprehensive of any potential advantage the Moon Sect might attempt to gain.ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

The Moon Sect, as the hosting faction, appeared cordial, while members from various sects played the role of vigilant overseers.
Despite the absence of protective array formations, Wuyuan Island remained seemingly secure. It was perplexing that a disciple would vanish without a trace under these circumstances, particularly since most of the Supreme Sect’s disciples shared a single lodging.
Baffled and concerned, Gu Chaoyan wasted no time and quickly left her quarters with Di Hongyun.
Elder Men from the Supreme Sect were mobilizing their disciples to search the island comprehensively, determined to locate the missing individuals, regardless of their sect affiliation. The unfamiliar territory held too many uncertainties, urging a swift resolution.
Together, Gu Chaoyan, Di Hongyun, and Yuan Jia set off in one direction. Along the way, they encountered disciples from other sects also hurrying out to join the search. Curiosity prompted Gu Chaoyan to request Di Hongyun to inquire about the situation from these fellow disciples.

As they probed for information, it became evident that the disappearances were not isolated incidents, and almost all disciples from the other sects were unaccounted for. The situation took on a grave tone.
Di Hongyun, visibly alarmed, concluded his investigations and muttered, “Even the Moon Sect disciples have vanished. What could possibly be happening? Were they abducted by bizarre creatures in the dead of night? But every aspect of this is eerily strange.” Fear began to grip him as he contemplated the prospect of falling prey to these enigmatic creatures.
This time, Gu Chaoyan refrained from rolling her eyes at him, but she couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of unease.
The situation was undeniably bizarre. Even if it wasn’t the work of some supernatural entity, it was evident that someone was responsible. The motives, however, remained shrouded in mystery.

If the intention had been to secure an advantage for their respective schools in the contest, it would have made more sense to target disciples participating in the competition. Yet, to Gu Chaoyan’s knowledge, those who had gone missing were ordinary disciples, none of whom were slated for the contest.
With furrowed brows, Gu Chaoyan, Di Hongyun, and Yuan Jia continued to
scan their surroundings, but no clues presented themselves. Despite Wuyuan Island’s relatively modest size, there seemed to be no place to conceal the missing individuals. The absence of any traces heightened their anxiety.
The search had gone on for hours without a breakthrough, and frustration loomed over the group. Even Gu Chaoyan, typically composed, wore a troubled expression.
The occurrence of such an event on Wuyuan Island had caught everyone off guard, marking an unprecedented occurrence.
After prolonged fruitless efforts, the major sects finally convened. The Elder Men of the Moon Sect, who had overseen the Moon Sect for the past three years without incident, were now visibly agitated. The pressing question was: what had transpired this year to result in the inexplicable disappearance of so many disciples?
Moon Sect took responsibility, acknowledging, “It is our disciples who have gone missing, and we accept the blame for this. We will mobilize additional resources to intensify the search and locate our missing disciples..”
