Chapter 727 - 215: The Ghost Realm Divided, Immortal Envoy’s Blueprint, Frustrated Xiaoyu’Er, Turmoil in the Imperial Capital

Chapter 727: Chapter 215: The Ghost Realm Divided, Immortal Envoy’s Blueprint, Frustrated Xiaoyu’Er, Turmoil in the Imperial Capital

The two of them exchanged a glance, ready to make a move.

However, Li Yuan did not wish for his seclusion to be disturbed.

With a casual wave of his hand, a transparent, vibrating Sword Qi swept towards the two.

Li Yuan controlled his strength; he didn’t intend to kill, only to warn.

The two were merely of the Fifth Grade, while Li Yuan’s casual flick was like the sky falling apart for them.

As they felt an overwhelming pressure with no way to evade, their faces changed dramatically, and they hurriedly raised their hands to resist.

To resist seemed as futile as a child trying to stop a massive cauldron.

But could it be possible?

Then came two explosive sounds, "bang, bang."

Their arms exploded from the shoulders, turning into a mist of blood.

The two were dumbfounded.

However, the power ceased after just one strike.

They turned their heads to look around, only to see dense woods and towering palaces, with no trace of the person who attacked.

Just then, a sharp voice rang out from the air.

"With me watching over the Emperor, outsiders must not overstep."

The two were taken aback; such a terrifying master was hidden within the Deep Palace?

"Junior was reckless, I will leave immediately," one hurriedly said.

The other respectfully said, "Thank you, Senior, for your mercy. Junior will never return."

With that, the two hurriedly left.

The voice belonged to Li Yuan.

After they left, Li Yuan transformed into a mosquito and quietly followed them. The path hidden deeply led out of the palace and then passed a small grove north of the Imperial Palace.

Just as Li Yuan was about to continue following, he suddenly became vigilant, as if an unimaginably focused gaze locked onto his region.

The gaze was ethereal and mysterious; although it hadn’t fully locked onto his mosquito form, Li Yuan could feel... if he continued forward, he would certainly be discovered.

This caused Li Yuan’s heart to tremble.

After all, he was of the Celestial Soul Third Grade, combined with Fifth Grade Illusion Technique.

This was a state that even Gao Kaiping couldn’t detect.

In the past, this state was considered invincible.

Yet now, someone could perceive him and from such a great distance...

Could Jade Capital truly hide such talents?

Therefore, Li Yuan stopped decisively, slowly retracing his steps.

Yet the gaze continued sweeping.

Li Yuan accelerated his retreat, distancing himself from the gaze, and quickly returned to Qingxin Hall.

He sat quietly in a secret chamber, deep contemplation flashing in his eyes.

Without a doubt, those probing, even intending to abduct the Emperor, must be soldiers of other Eight Grade Commanders.

But the one who sensed his presence...

Who,

was it?

...

...

The next day.

In a distant place.

Hanzhou Path.

Mingyue Prefecture.

Xie Yu, dressed in white, sat under the vast shade of an old Wutong tree, resting her chin in her hand, gazing towards the secret chamber, sighing long and deep.

"Miss..."

A maid beside her hesitated to speak.

Xie Yu, somewhat melancholy and absent-minded, said, "You may leave."

The maid said, "Miss, we all know you..."

"Ahh!!" Xie Yu suddenly screamed hysterically, then collapsed onto the table, sobbing uncontrollably.

The maid, loyal, hastily said, "Miss, don’t cry, Miss..."

"If you don’t leave, I will!!"

Xie Yu stood up and ran outside, tears streaming down her face like two crystalline rivers.

The maid hurried after her, calling, "Miss, Miss..."

But being only a normal person, even with the Xie Family’s blessing enabling achievement of Eighth Grade in this blood-rich environment, she was still far behind Xie Yu’s Sixth Grade. How could she possibly catch up to this Xie Family third young lady?

Xie Yu soon vanished from sight.

After leaving the Xie Mansion, the beauty in white gasped for breath like someone drowning. Under the blazing sun, with the scenery around her changing, she finally calmed down somewhat.

However, her face and eyes still bore a melancholic aura.

She didn’t even know whether the man in the secret chamber was alive or dead.

For that man, she even stayed behind in her hometown instead of going to Jade Capital with her father, older brother, and second sister.

But...

But...

Feeling the sadness, she quietly wiped away her tears.

’Why have I ended up like this?’

’Why?’

Xie Yu, caught in her own thoughts, grew thinner from longing, her white garment billowing in the wind, resembling a "melancholy flower" even more.

She walked unknowingly onto the main street of Mingyue Prefecture.

Then a carriage unexpectedly passed by and stopped.

The curtain was lifted, and a man and a woman inside looked out.

The woman called out, "Zhou Yu!!"

Xie Yu turned her head and realized it was an old acquaintance.

She had once trained in the Social World, so she knew some friends, but she traveled under the name "Zhou Yu."

Thus, these old friends didn’t know her true identity as a lady of the house.

"It’s been a long time, Zhou Yu," the woman said, then waved her hand, saying, "Come up to the carriage."

Xie Yu boarded the carriage.

Inside, beside the woman, there were three men and another woman.

The woman said, "Zhou Yu, we’re planning to treasure hunt, will you join?"

"Treasure hunt?" Xie Yu asked curiously.

The woman was about to whisper something but was interrupted by a man’s cough. The man’s eyes then scanned Xie Yu before smiling, "Young lady, if you agree to join us, we’ll reveal the location to you."

Another man laughed heartily and said, "Old Wang, you’re eager to find a companion since both of us already have partners, aren’t you? But, this Zhou Yu girl sure is beautiful..."
