Western Palace.
A man wearing a dragon robe was sitting in the imperial study. He was tall and dignified. He was looking down at Si Mingcheng who was kneeling on the ground. He frowned and asked:
"After searching for so long, you still can't find it?"
Si Mingcheng trembled and said quickly: "Reporting to your majesty, after Qiu Zhihe and his husband appeared in the Luoxian Forest in the Northern Wasteland half a year ago, there was no trace of them. The Golden Snake Guard has been searching with all their strength. I believe it won't take long."
"You said the same thing a month ago."
The emperor spoke calmly.
Si Mingcheng trembled, his forehead touched the ground, and he said repeatedly:
"I am incompetent. Please give me a little more time, Your Majesty. I will definitely capture that Qiu Zhihe!"
The emperor suddenly said: "Si Mingcheng, among the brothers and sisters of the Si family back then, I was most optimistic about Si Minglan. If this leader of the Golden Snake Guard were her, do you think she would be as useless as you?"
Si Mingcheng kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Your Majesty, forgive me. I have searched all over Dongxiu, Beihuang, and Xihuang, and there really is no clue at all!"
The emperor held his face with one hand and said calmly: "There is still another place."
Si Mingcheng raised his head in astonishment: "The Land of the Southern Demon? But, but... this place is extremely dangerous. If Qiu Meiren goes there, it will be very bad, right?"
The Western Emperor Wu Zheng looked at Si Mingcheng coldly: "You are greedy for life and afraid of death, what is the use of keeping you?"
Si Mingcheng was horrified and said quickly: "I will go to the land of the Southern Demon immediately!"
At this time, the emperor's personal eunuch walked in: "Your Majesty, the queen is here."
Wu Zheng's expression changed, and the majesty on his face disappeared instantly. He hurriedly waved to Si Mingcheng: "Hurry up and hide!"
Si Mingcheng was startled. Wu Zhenglian had already run over and pushed him into the curtain behind the desk, warning:
"Don't make a sound!"
Si Mingcheng quickly covered his mouth and nodded repeatedly.
Wu Zheng immediately sat down at the table. The old eunuch skillfully picked up a pair of memorials and put them on the table. Wu Zheng picked up a memorial and pretended to read it.
The next moment, a woman wearing a purple phoenix robe and a phoenix crown walked into the imperial study.
With picturesque features and graceful temperament, she is none other than Queen Lin Yuan of the West.
Lin Yuan walked gracefully, her red skirt trailing on the ground, and walked to the emperor's desk, with a smile as gentle as the warm sun on her face:
"Your Majesty, are you so diligent today?"
The emperor put down the memorial and said with a smile: "The Queen admonished me the day before yesterday. I deeply agree that we should put aside distracting thoughts and focus on the country."
Lin Yuan glanced at Si Mingcheng's hiding place indifferently: "Your Majesty, you are not giving up distracting thoughts, just because you can't find it, right?"
Wu Zheng's expression froze, and Si Mingcheng, who was hiding behind, crawled out, knelt on the ground and kowtowed:
"The Queen Mingjian, I am here to report to Your Majesty the Zhenyang Sect's unusual movements!"
Wu Zheng also said quickly: "Yes, Queen, Commander Si recently found out that two elders of Zhenyang Sect are retreating to attack the realm of gods, so he came to report to me!"
"Ah, yes, yes! Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan of Zhenyang Sect are in seclusion together to attack the realm of gods. They should be competing for the position of leader!"
Si Mingcheng quickly added.
"Yeah?"
Lin Yuan was still dignified and graceful, but there was a half-smile on his face:
"Then do you know that the Zhenyang Sect secretly sent its disciples to the land of the Southern Demon yesterday."
"this"
Wu Zheng was startled and pointed at Si Mingcheng: "Why didn't you report this to me?"
Si Mingcheng knelt on the ground and said with a grimace: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this!"
Wu Zheng put away the pressure on his face and said to Lin Yuan with a flattering look on his face: "Queen, look, Commander Si doesn't know where did you get this news?"
Lin Yuan said calmly: "I will eventually have a battle with Tantai Mingyue. She has planted ears and eyes in the West Palace. Naturally, I can also secretly send people to Zhenyang Sect. Your Majesty, do you know that Ye Xiyue, who you have always wanted to be your concubine, has already Got a man?"
"What?!" Wu Zheng jumped up suddenly: "Fairy Xiyue already has a man? Who is it?!"
Seeing Lin Yuan looking at him indifferently, Wu Zheng froze and quickly explained: "Queen, don't get me wrong, I don't have the slightest idea about Ye Xiyue, and all the beauties in the world combined are not as good as you!"
Lin Yuan ignored Wu Zheng's pale compliment and continued: "Among the Zhenyang Sect disciples who went to the Southern Demon Land, there was one named Lan Yin."
"Lanyin?" Wu Zheng immediately became serious and frowned: "The man that I love?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "After Yi Ren came back, she didn't think about food or tea, and she wanted to marry Lan Yin. I checked this person, and I only found out that he came from the Northern Wilderness, and the rest is unknown."
"The queen is still thoughtful!" Wu Zheng said flatteringly and asked Lin Yuan:
"I'm afraid this person wants to get close to the beautiful lady. What do you mean, Queen?"
Lin Yuan frowned slightly, looked at Si Mingcheng, and said slowly:
"Go to the Southern Demon Land quickly and find out why the disciples of Zhenyang Sect are acting secretly, and then find out Lan Yin's purpose of getting close to Yi Ren. If he really has an agenda, kill him!"
"yes!"
Si Mingcheng accepted the order, kowtowed and saluted, then quickly stood up and prepared to leave. Lin Yuan's voice sounded again behind him:
"If you find Qiu Zhihe, kill him too."
Thunder Sword Sect.
The leader's retreat place, Thunder Sword Tower.
A huge thunder and lightning pierced the sky, and a tall and burly figure actually stood on the thunder and lightning, like the God of Thunder coming to the world, letting out a burst of laughter:
"Hahaha, my cultivation has finally recovered! I, Su Longxiang, am back!"
Su Longxiang rode on the thunder and lightning, jumped down from the Thunder Sword Tower, and landed firmly on the ground.
The eldest disciple Ming Hu, elders Huang Kezhou and Su Qingfeng came forward: "Congratulations to the master on the recovery of his magical power!"
Su Longxiang laughed loudly: "Chen Qingmo has not come out of seclusion, and Bai Liu is seriously injured and cannot recover. I, the Thunder Sword Sect, have finally waited for this day!"
Bai Liu is the head of Feiyun Sect. Like Su Longxiang and Chen Qingmo, he was seriously injured in the battle of Tianlu Mountain.
Among the three, Su Longxiang was the fastest to recover from his injuries, and his combat power was even better than before, reaching the true half-step state of becoming a god.
Now Bai Liu is seriously injured, Chen Qingmo is in seclusion, Zheng Shengmo, the most advanced among the elders of the Zhenyang Sect, has died unexpectedly, and Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan have suddenly gone into seclusion again.
In the current land of Dongxiu, in terms of top-level combat power, the Thunder Sword Sect is already the strongest sect.
Su Longxiang was high-spirited and waved his hand: "Where's Hongling? I want to show her that her father is already halfway to becoming a god and is number one in the world, hahaha!"
The three of them looked at each other, and Minghu said weakly: "Master, junior sister has run away."
Su Longxiang's laughter stopped suddenly and his eyes widened: "Running away again? Didn't I tell you to look at her?"
Elder Su Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Master, Hongling has recovered to the eighth level of the Golden Core. We can't stop her."
Su Longxiang said angrily: "You three are all at the eighth level of Nascent Soul. You can't stop even an eighth-level Jindan?"
Minghu said with a bitter face: "Master, it's not like you don't know how talented little junior sister is. The eighth level of the golden elixir is enough to beat ordinary Yuanying. And her hammer is so powerful that she can knock us down." Head full of bags.”
The other two people also complained repeatedly, smoothed their hair and showed the bags on their heads to Su Longxiang.
Su Longxiang was speechless: "Did Hongling say where she went?"
Ming Hu said: "The people we placed in Zhenyang Sect came back with a message, saying that Zhenyang Sect sent people to the land of the Southern Demon, and Ye Xiyue was among them. Junior sister couldn't sit still when she heard that, and she wanted to go there desperately."
"Land of the Southern Demon?"
