Chapter 1043 - 1: Want to See You

After the Emperor was buried, the Empress Dowager also passed away. No one discovered that there was no corpse in the coffin in the Empress Dowager’s tomb—it was completely empty.

...

Tianmiao sat in the All Things Have a Store, squinting as she drank tea.

"Master, that chubby Emperor—when did he realize you weren’t his real mother?" Kong Hou asked curiously.

"He probably found out not long after I entered the palace. He sent people to investigate the original body; he should have known all of her hobbies and habits. Once he compared the two, he would know I wasn’t her." Tianmiao set down her teacup, a gentle smile spreading over her face. "But that child really was very adorable."

"Will you meet again?" Kong Hou asked again. "Did he reincarnate in this world?"

"We’ll meet again. He didn’t reincarnate in this world. This world can’t bear the weight of his fortune anymore. He and I are fated, so we’ll see each other again in the future." Tianmiao laughed.

"Wow, then his luck is really something..." Before Kong Hou could finish, Dong Xiao’s expression suddenly changed; he anxiously cut her off.

"Master, it’s a distress signal from Lord Leng Yanhua." Dong Xiao presented a Jade Scroll and held it out in front of Tianmiao.

Tianmiao frowned slightly. She knew Leng Yanhua’s capabilities very well—this fellow could even blow up a Great World—yet she was sending out a call for help? What happened?

Tianmiao took the Jade Scroll. After reading it, her expression grew somewhat grave.

"You read it yourselves." Tianmiao stood up, frowning. "Locate the world Leng Yanhua is in. We’re preparing to jump."

"Master, shouldn’t we report to the Heavenly Dao first? It’s not just Lord Leng Yanhua trapped in that world—there’s also your friend Lord Jie Wenzhan, Lord Hong Rong, and Lord Li Bielang, plus several other Lords all trapped in that world." Dong Xiao looked deeply worried, his tone heavy.

"What? It’s that serious? What on earth happened?" Kong Hou’s face also changed with fright. She snatched the Jade Scroll from Dong Xiao’s hand and quickly skimmed through it. After she finished, her expression turned even uglier. "Master, something’s wrong. With a world this thorny, why would Lord Leng Yanhua report to you instead of the Heavenly Dao?" This felt a bit like a trap.

"I know." Tianmiao narrowed her eyes slightly. "This is aimed at me."

"Then all the more reason we should inform the Heavenly Dao first!" Dong Xiao and Kong Hou said in unison.

"No need. I can handle it. Go find Chaos and prepare for a world jump." Tianmiao had the constant feeling that some truths were drawing ever closer to her. She wanted to unveil them herself.

Kong Hou and Dong Xiao exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and answered, "Yes."

The world that had trapped several outstanding employees of the Heavenly Dao Office was a Great World. Or rather, this world had already surpassed an ordinary Great World. So the fact that it could trap several excellent employees was, in a way, not surprising.

But Tianmiao knew this was absolutely not normal. No matter how far a Great World exceeded an ordinary one, it still shouldn’t be able to confine so many exceptionally capable employees. There could be only one reason: within this Great World, there was a power that did not belong to it—a greater, stronger power—that had imprisoned Leng Yanhua and the others.

And that power’s target was her.

Then she would go and meet it face to face.

...

They arrived in that Great World very quickly.

As soon as she entered, Tianmiao could feel the presence of Leng Yanhua and the others. But before she could make a move to save them, the entire group was thrown out of this world.
