After the Fire-Eating Stone found Ning Xianyu's location, it seemed much more energetic.

But Xuanyuan Tunhan still felt that he was too excited. Could something unusual have happened over there?

However, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he continued to wander in the mountains and finally found a strange place.

There is a barrier set up at this place. If he hadn't discovered this place, he would never have noticed that there was a barrier here.

Even standing here, he would occasionally doubt whether his judgment was correct, because the barrier was set up too advanced and even he found it difficult to detect.

But it is also very easy to judge, just hit it and you will know.

Xuanyuan Tunhan swung his sword forward, but didn't feel like he hit anything.

The sword actually crossed the barrier and penetrated directly.

But he was more certain that there was a barrier here.

That's easy.

Xuanyuan Tunhan put away the sword and continued to form seals around him. Soon, the barrier was broken.

He went straight into the cave and soon smelled the unique fresh scent of Ning Xianyu.

This is the aura that only she has, there is no doubt about it.

He also found some food scraps on the ground, which also belonged to Ning Xianyu, the fried fish she brought back from Yuxianmen.

More importantly, he actually found the Qiankun Sword inside.

This woman lost her sword?

Did he leave it behind intentionally because he was afraid of death, or was he forced to leave it behind?

Xuanyuan Tunhan put the sword on him and searched further inside, and found several discarded human skins deep in the cave.

"Xiahou Fang?"

It’s actually him?

Xuanyuan Tunhan took the Fire Devouring Stone and said, "Let's go, quickly."

Although no one knows why Xiahou Fang captured Ning Xianyu and why he took her to the East Coast, it is definitely not a good thing and he definitely does not want to sacrifice her.

This woman will cause trouble.

Let’s catch her this time and see if she will run around again.

Xuanyuan Tunhan quickly rushed to the east bank to get Ning Xianyu back before she was killed by Xiahou Fang.

Ning Xianyu was looking at the corpse of the empress at this time, or to be exact, the empress who was still alive.

“It feels like just a shell of me.”

The empress was hidden in the palace by the Grand Tutor, and a famous doctor was invited to treat her secretly, but there was no effect.

Ning Xianyu had eavesdropped just now and saw that the tutor, who had been severely beaten and was lying on the ground, was still thinking about saving the emperor.

He had already thought about asking a deity or some capable person from the folk to come.

No matter what, the emperor must be rescued.

"Mrs. Feng is so bold. She has only pretended to be someone else for one day and yet she dares to disobey me. This woman cannot be kept. If she cannot save the emperor, we have to find someone else."

The Grand Tutor was filled with worry and was still lying there reading memorials from various places. His buttocks would hurt if he moved.

Ning Xianyu now felt that she had hit the wrong person and felt a little guilty. She took the fairy dew and dripped it on his butt to relieve the feeling a little.

She just forgot how useful this magic dew was. The tutor only felt a chill on her butt and thought the roof was leaking, and then the pain in her butt was gone.

Then he tried to touch it, stood up, moved, and jumped twice.

"I, I'm recovered?"

How could that be?

How could that be?

The Grand Tutor thought for a moment, then suddenly knelt down and said, "I beg the Immortal to save the Emperor of Yulai. I beg the Immortal to show his power. The Emperor of Yulai is diligent in his work and loves his people. He should not suffer this misfortune."

Ning Xianyu stood behind him and watched him kowtow to her.

Really, why is she kneeling? She doesn’t even want to help.

The Taifu was a smart man. Perhaps he was afraid that he had knelt in the wrong direction, so he kowtowed in eight directions in a circle, until his forehead was bruised.

Wow, that's really sincere.

Ning Xianyu thought that it would not hurt to take some care of it. Maybe the emperor was really harmed by something from the world of cultivation.

Only then did she go to see the empress, and was shocked to find that the empress's soul was gone.

Because he has no soul, he looks like a dead person.

Could it be that his soul was sucked away by the rocks under Taiping Lake?

But according to the people of Yulai Kingdom, Taiping Lake in the Summer Palace is a very good place. Not only is it warm in winter and cool in summer, it seems to be able to cure diseases.

How could such a good place, where nothing had happened for so many years, suddenly start to suck people's souls away?

Ning Xianyu decided to go and take a look.

According to the palace maid, she went to Taiping Lake.

Xiahou Fang is here.

He was performing a very strange exercise.

Rush into the lake, be bounced out, rush in, and be bounced out again.

It seemed that he was having so much fun that he didn't care about her as his captive.

"Senior Xiahou, what are you playing?"

So obsessed?

When Xiahou Fang saw her coming, he came over immediately and said, "Try it. There is something wrong with this lake."

Ning Xianyu didn't want to go in rashly, so she asked him what was going on.

Xiahou Fang said: "This lake is inaccessible. It seems there is a barrier on top that will bounce people out."

He felt strange, why could the mortal empress enter but he couldn't?

He didn't wait for Ning Xianyu to answer, and thought of something else: "Oh, you have a Qiankun Sword, that sword can break all barriers, come and open the barrier."

Ning Xianyu spread out her hands: "Isn't the sword with you?"

Xiahou Fang seemed to have just remembered something and searched for a while: "I left the sword in the cave."

Ning Xianyu was helpless: "There is nothing we can do about it. Besides, once the Qiankun Sword comes out, do you think Xuanyuan Tunhan won't notice it?"

Xiahou Fang was very upset: "The sword cannot be placed in the storage bag, nor can it be changed and hidden. I have no choice but to put it in the cave."

I should have brought it earlier.

He thought about it and said, "Go and give it a try."

He asked Ning Xianyu to jump down and give it a try. Maybe this barrier only protects against men and not women. Maybe she can get down.

Ning Xianyu asked back, "I went to see the emperor, and her soul was gone. What if this barrier absorbs a woman's soul?"

Then she would be gone once she went down.

The system then said: [Absorbing is a good thing. You haven't made a wish yet. After absorbing, you will just get rid of this body. Do it secretly, and then I will take you away.]

[Do you want to be the female emperor? If you are a female emperor, you can be the emperor for a few decades first. No one will touch the emperor in the human world. The karma will be too great. You can live in peace for a few decades before cultivating immortality.]

It seems like it would be pretty good to be an emperor for a few decades in peace.

[But the empress is not dead yet. If her soul is still there, I will take over her body. If her soul disappears, I will use her body.]

The system said okay, that’s it, let’s go down and see if the empress’s soul is still there.

Xiahou Fang didn't care whether her soul would be absorbed or not, he only cared about her skin.

"Go down and stop talking nonsense."

"Just go down, why are you being so aggressive?"

Ning Xianyu walked slowly to the lake, tested the water temperature, and then slowly walked in.

Xiahou Fang was stunned for a moment.

Yeah, why should he jump in, why not walk in?

He also tried to walk into the water, and this time he actually walked into it.

It turns out that one has to walk into the lake and cannot use magic to fly in. Such a simple restriction actually fooled him.

Xiahou Fang couldn't help but blush.
