ting hit head-on."Bang!"The Red Lotus smashed into the ground, causing a tremor.A burst of smoke and dust erupted, but the gash in the meatball above, carved by the red lotus…fused back together rapid...Then, I couldn't help but yell out: "Damn it!"

"Why did I have to be so clever Why did I suddenly think of combining the power of ten thousand paths with the power of the great Dao" Fang Yu pounded his forehead hard, annoyed.

Queen Xiaoyue is a very important clue, she is most likely the most powerful figure within the Holy Court to have been infiltrated!

From Empress Xiaoyue, we can definitely dig up a lot of information about the Holy See!

Now, the queen hasn't even uttered a word, and she's already gone.

This lead just dead ends!

The light on Fang Yu slowly dissipated, returning to its original form.

"

Sigh..."

Fang Yu sighed again and looked around once more.

There were no other living creatures around.

"Those members of the collateral bloodline should still be alive. Afterward, we can only start from them… And as for the Holy Court, with the Empress of Azure Moon dead at my hands, it remains to be seen if they will remain idle or choose to emerge. Perhaps they’ll burrow deeper into their shells…" Fang Yu's brows furrowed, his mind racing.

In his heart, he naturally hoped that the Holy Institution would appear as soon as possible!

Only by getting in direct contact with the Holy Institution could he find out about his senior brother's whereabouts!

He knew the repercussions, that after he decisively defeated Empress Xiaoyue... the Holy Temple would likely retreat for a while.

"Still, I can only continue to look for clues from these infiltrated cultivators..." Fang Yu shook his head, a decision already made in his heart.

Before leaving the center of the battlefield, he once again released his divine sense and scanned the surroundings, finding nothing unusual.

Then, he turned and flew towards Han Miaoyin and Qino.

……

A quarter of an hour after Fang Yu left.

At the deepest recesses of the earth, pierced and shattered, lay a small pebble amongst the rubble.

The bead itself emanated no aura. Its exterior was a dull gray, resembling a small fragment of stone that would blend seamlessly into the depths of the earth.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of green suddenly appeared.

It is exactly Zun Xun!

He crouched down, reached out, and plucked the pearl from amongst the rubble.

Then, he looked up at the sky, his figure turned into blue mist and vanished in an instant.

……

Fang Yu quickly returned to Han Miaoyin and Qino's side.

Seeing Fang Yu unharmed, Qi Nuo's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, speechless.

But Han Miaoyi noticed that Fang Yu didn't seem very happy, so she spoke up and asked: "Fang brother, how is Empress Xiaoyue..."

"Sigh... don't even mention it, gone straight up. Died a terrible death." Fang Yu shook his head and sighed.

"Gone just like that..."

Fang Yu's attitude made Han Miaoyin feel a little puzzled.

Even after defeating his opponent, Fang Yu still looked regretful and heartbroken.

“I didn’t want to kill her. I needed her alive to get information about the Holy Institute,” Fang Yu said.

“That’s true,” Han Miao Yi said, “But an existence like Empress Xiaoyue, if she isn’t completely eliminated, she probably won’t submit. Brother Fang needn’t feel remorseful.”

"You make a good point... But as long as you're alive, there's still hope. Once you're dead, it's all over." Fang Yu sighed again.

He then looked around, searching for the four Jailers.

However, it was not found.

"Hmm Where did the Four Underworld Attendants go Could I have injured them" Fang Yu asked.

"No... they vanished long ago." Han Miao'yi shook her head gently, saying, "After your battle with Empress Xiaoyue began, they disappeared."

"Oh" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing something amiss.

The Four Temple Guardians appear to be puppets, though they possess consciousness, they lack the ability to communicate and... obey only one being.

That... is the Ancient Demon Emperor!

Now, the sudden disappearance of the Four Prison Guardians is clearly related to the Ancient Demon Emperor!

Thinking of what Queen Xiaoyue had said before, and his own deductions, Fang Yu's eyes flickered with a strange light.

But he did not give it much thought.

Because, he doesn't care.

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "They ran away, so I can't send those collateral bloodline members to the Ancient Demon Prison…"

"Very well, there's no need for them. Bring them all back to Qino's residence and build a new dungeon to interrogate them!"

Saying that, Fang Yu turned to Han Miao Yi and said, "Since the Four Prison Envoys have run away, I'll need your help. Round up all those members of the subsidiary bloodlines."

"By the way, there's also that guy named Xian Liu who got caught. I suspect he has something to do with the Holy Court too, otherwise he wouldn't have sided with Empress Xiaoyue."

"Good," Han Miaoyin nodded.

"Let's go now, they probably haven't gone far." Fang Yu said.

Saying that, the two were about to set off.

"Please, please wait a moment, envoy…"

But just then, Kino, who had been staring blankly ahead, suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong" Fang Yu looked at Qi Nuo.

I saw Qi Nuo raise his right hand, a token in his hand was glowing.

"The Emperor... Father... Father has left the palace... He's in the main hall... He wants to see you now." Qianuo bit her lip and whispered.
