Chu Yu cursed inwardly and retorted, "Do you think I can't find it just because you didn't tell me? The abilities of the underworld are beyond your imagination."
Zhao Zhifu's expression changed slightly, and she stubbornly tried to retort, but the Soul Reaper glared at her and angrily said, "Stop talking nonsense. Now come back to the Underworld with me. Once we get there, no matter how stubborn you are, we have plenty of ways to make you talk."
Zhao Zhifu shuddered in fright.
The Soul Reaper dragged her into the black vortex, and they quickly disappeared into the laboratory.
After they left, Chu Yu looked at Ye Zhiyuan and asked, "Senior Brother, aren't you going back to the Underworld?"
Ye Zhiyuan explained, "You're still very weak, so I'll stay and help you clean up the mess."
Chu Yu felt a warmth in her heart: "Senior Brother, you're the one who's best to me."
Ye Zhiyuan smiled gently: "Of course, you are my only junior sister."
Chu Yu got off the stone bed and was about to walk forward when Ye Zhiyuan stopped her: "You're weak, so don't walk by yourself. I'll carry you."
Without saying a word, he squatted down, and Chu Yu had no choice but to let him carry her.
The two left the laboratory and went into the courtyard.
At this moment, the yin energy in the courtyard dissipated and returned to calm. Chu Yu looked towards the ancestral hall and said, "Senior Brother, let's go to the ancestral hall first. I guess the Demon Queen's inner core should be sealed in the black box under Lin Hongye's memorial tablet."
When she went to the ancestral hall, she noticed the black box under Lin Hongye's memorial tablet. She had previously thought it was a personal item of the Demon Queen, but after learning the truth, she guessed that it should be the Demon Queen's inner core.
The Demon Queen's inner core was extremely powerful, beyond the capacity of ordinary people to withstand or control. Zhao Zhifu could not use it and could only seal it away.
If they were hiding in another place and were afraid of being found, they would hide in their own ancestral hall and guard it day and night.
The two arrived at the ancestral hall and looked towards the altar, only to find that Lin Hongye's memorial tablet and the box beneath it were gone.
Chu Yu's expression changed slightly: "The memorial tablet and the box are gone!"
Ye Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "When we arrived here, there was no one in the house. Who took it?"
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow, thinking of the butler Lin she had met during the day: "It must have been that butler who took it."
"Don't worry, junior sister, I'll go after him right away and bring that steward back."
Just as Ye Zhiyuan was about to leave, Chu Yu stopped him: "No need, I have a backup plan, he can't get far."
She walked out of the ancestral hall and threw a talisman into the air. With a bang, the talisman exploded in the night like fireworks.
Not long after, Tao Susu flew down from the sky with Butler Lin. The moment she landed, she threw Butler Lin to the ground.
Tao Susu came to Chu Yu and reported, "Master, I have been guarding outside the house as you instructed. I saw this guy sneaking out of the house earlier, so I followed him and caught him. After receiving your signal, I brought him back to you."
Chu Yu praised, "Hmm, well done."
Peach Susu smiled happily after being praised by her owner.
Butler Lin looked at Chu Yu with a sinister gaze.
He stayed in the ancestral home all night, as usual, monitoring everything in the surveillance room.
When he saw through the surveillance footage that Zhao Zhifu had fallen into Chu Yu's trap in the laboratory and was killed by Ye Zhiyuan and the Soul Reaper who suddenly appeared, and that the Soul Reaper took Zhao Zhifu's ghost to the underworld, he was terrified.
He remembered Zhao Zhifu's instructions to him: if things were exposed, he should take Lin Hongye's memorial tablet and the box underneath it to prevent them from falling into the hands of thieves. So he hurriedly went to the ancestral hall, took the tablet and the box, but he didn't expect that he would be caught by Tao Susu, who was hiding in the shadows, before he could get very far.
Tao Susu is a demon, while Chu Yu and Ye Zhiyuan are both metaphysicians. He is no match for them. Now that things have come to this, he is filled with despair and says through gritted teeth, "I never thought that the young lady would be ambushed by you. Now that the young lady is dead, don't even think about making me submit. You can kill me or torture me as you please."
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow; surprisingly, he was a loyal and unyielding person.
"I won't kill you; that would only dirty my hands."
She walked over, ripped off the backpack from his back, and opened it. Inside, as expected, were Lin Hongye's memorial tablet and the black box.
Butler Lin panicked: "Don't touch the Grand Madam's memorial tablet and box! Give them back to me!"
He lunged forward to grab it, but Ye Zhiyuan kicked him to the ground.
Ye Zhiyuan cursed angrily: "You old man, you aided and abetted evil, and now you even want to steal the stolen goods, you deserve to die. Although your lifespan has not ended and we cannot take you to the underworld, the laws of the human world will punish you, and after you die, your soul will also be punished by the underworld."
Butler Lin's expression changed, and he collapsed to the ground, stubbornly retorting with his last shred of defiance: "I was merely doing my master's bidding, being loyal to him, what wrong have I done?"
Chu Yu sneered, "You really are a loyal servant, but unfortunately, you followed the wrong master and did the wrong thing."
After saying that, Chu Yu told Tao Susu to tie up the housekeeper and call the police to come and file a case.
Zhao Zhifu did such a thing, the truth must be revealed to the public, otherwise, those metaphysicians who were murdered will not get the justice they want, and their relatives and friends will remain in the dark.
After calling the police, Chu Yu instructed Ye Zhiyuan to break the seal on the box. Once opened, the box contained a black bead the size of an egg, which was filled with extremely strong demonic energy. It was indeed the Demon Queen's inner core.
Holding the inner core, she looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "The power of the inner core has not yet been lost. If we can find the Demon Queen's corpse and summon her soul back, perhaps she will still have a glimmer of hope. But right now, we don't know where the Demon Queen's corpse is."
Ye Zhiyuan comforted her, "Don't worry, the Soul Reapers will find a way to get Zhao Zhifu to reveal the whereabouts of the Demon Queen's body."
Chu Yu nodded; she trusted the efficiency of the Soul Reapers.
She put the inner elixir and Lin Hongye's memorial tablet back into the Qiankun bag.
After finishing her business, she thought of Fu Yunche, took out her phone and sent him a message: [My plan went smoothly. Have you slept with Yuanbao yet?]
The message was sent but the other party did not reply.
Looking at the chat box, Chu Yu's heart suddenly raced, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart.
Ye Zhiyuan glanced at the injury on her back and was a little worried. He urged, "Junior sister, your injury is a bit serious. I should take you to the hospital for treatment first. You can leave this to Su Su."
Chu Yu disregarded her own injuries and said urgently, "Let's not go to the hospital first. Let's go back to the hotel and check on Fu Yunche. I'm worried about him."
She looked up and instructed Tao Susu, "Susu, you wait here for the police to arrive. My senior brother and I will go to the hotel first, and after we confirm that he is alright, we will go to the police station to find you."
Tao Susu nodded.
Ye Zhiyuan couldn't refuse Chu Yu, so he had no choice but to go to the hotel with her first.
