Xuanming shook his head helplessly; this also puzzled him.

Looking at the Grand Tutor, he seemed to have no clue about the matter either.

“What I’m worried about is that the demon can transform into anyone’s appearance, and even close friends and family members can’t tell the difference. If it’s harmful to us, we won’t be able to defend against it.” Xuan Ming’s tone revealed a hint of worry.

The Grand Tutor nodded and agreed, “This is indeed a troublesome matter. The king and queen of the Sumeru Continent are missing, and your wedding banquet with Zhi’er is imminent. Royal family members from other continents are already on their way. If the person behind this manipulates the spirits to appear at the banquet... the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Xuanming frowned, a thoughtful expression on his face. Suddenly, he stood up and walked to a corner to search.

After a while, he found a note.

The creed looked very old, as if it had been weathered by the passage of time. The writing on it was blurred and only some traces could be barely made out.

"Back when the Meizu clan was annihilated, we also sent Xuanwei to investigate the matter. After much effort, we finally found this creed."

However, the handwriting on the letter was so blurred that only the character "two" was legible. I pondered this for a long time, wondering if it was related to the second continent.

So I sent people to the Second Continent to investigate, but both the Qiong family and the Sheng family secretly investigated several times, yet they still couldn't find any clues related to the annihilation of the Mei Clan. In the end, the matter was left unresolved." Xuan Ming said, handing the note in his hand to the Grand Tutor.

The Grand Tutor carefully took the note, examined it closely for a while, and then searched repeatedly by candlelight before finally spotting the faintly visible character 'two'.

As for the other writing, it has long been blurred and unrecognizable, as if it had been erased by the years.

The Grand Tutor reluctantly gave up searching for more information on the note, looked up at Xuan Ming, and asked, "Why did you suddenly bring this up? Have you made a new discovery?"

Xuanming nodded and said in a serious tone, "According to reports from the secret guards, the Qiong family appeared at the Minjiang River and repeatedly caused trouble. I suspect that the Qiong family has not given up their evil intentions and wants to use external forces to regain the throne."

The Grand Tutor was shocked upon hearing this, his eyes widening: "Could it be that the Qiong family rescued Meiling back then?"

Xuan Ming shook his head, indicating his denial: "There is no evidence for this at the moment, and I cannot make any assumptions. The last place Mo Beichen appeared was on the beach behind the mist of Xishan. If that spirit is not dead, they have probably already fought. As long as we find them, we may be able to unveil the mystery behind the spirit."

At this point, the Grand Tutor couldn't help but sigh again: "That vast ocean, boundless and without ships, could they really survive?"

His face was filled with worry and unease.

If the king and queen of the Sumeru Continent were to encounter trouble on their Xuancang Continent, other continents would seize the opportunity to cause trouble, which would be a real problem.

Upon hearing this, Xuanming's eyes flickered, and he moved his lips as if he wanted to say something but then held back.

There is a mysterious connection between him and the Xuanwei. Once a Xuanwei recognizes him as its master, he can sense the life and death of each Xuanwei.

As for Shadow, he's definitely alive. Since Shadow is alive, then Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo are probably alright too.

However, this matter was kept secret and could only be known to successive monarchs; it could not be told to outsiders, not even family members.

Xuan Ming gently placed the note back in its original place, then sat down in front of the Grand Tutor again, smiling as he comforted him: "Grand Tutor, there is no need to worry too much. Mo Beichen is a man who has unified four kingdoms. How could he be troubled by such a small setback? However, if they choose to travel by water, they may not be able to attend the wedding banquet on time."

In this way, the opportunity to showcase their talents was missed, which is truly regrettable.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor felt a sense of doubt. He frowned, stared sharply at Xuan Ming, and slowly said, "According to what you're saying, it seems you already have a plan in mind, but what is your intention in letting me enter the palace?"

Xuanming shook his head with a wry smile, a hint of helplessness and bitterness flashing in his eyes.

He sighed deeply and replied, "Grand Tutor, please don't tease me. I'm merely speculating based on some clues, and I'm not entirely certain. This matter mainly concerns the Enchantress, and I hope the Grand Tutor can help spread this news. Whether the Enchantress is alive or dead, we must cause a huge uproar."

The Grand Tutor narrowed his eyes, a sly smile playing on his lips. "You're trying to use a commotion to stop the commotion, drawing everyone's attention to the Enchantress and temporarily forgetting about the Medicine Man, giving them a chance. But do you know that if the person behind this finds out we leaked the information, they'll probably hold a grudge against us too?"

Xuanming smiled slightly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

He said firmly, "Grand Tutor, rest assured, I know what I'm doing. Besides, this matter is of great importance, and even if it incurs resentment, it's worth a try."

The Grand Tutor pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Xuanming appeared unconcerned, but his eyes were firm and composed as he continued, "The Xuancang Continent has never feared anyone. Over the years, we have maintained a low profile simply to safeguard peace and stability between the continents."

However, our silence seems to have been misinterpreted as weakness and fear, which is certainly not a good sign.

The Grand Tutor raised an eyebrow, and seeing the powerful aura emanating from Xuan Ming, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction: "That's more like it. I'm too old to shoulder too much responsibility. You, young man, have been lazy for so many years, it's time to pay off your debts. Young people should have ambition."
