"Yes, it disappeared." Yun Yuqing recalled the situation at the time, her expression still very confused.
"Think back carefully, did anything unusual happen at that time? With your cultivation level, you shouldn't be able to hide anything from you if there was any disturbance," Zu An asked anxiously.
“I searched everywhere at the time, but there was no trace of anyone else who had been there,” Yun Yuqing said, lost in thought. “If there was anything special, it was that I vaguely heard Sister Jiang making a wish, but I was too tired at the time and thought she was just praying for Xiao Xi’s safety, so I didn’t take it seriously and went back to sleep. Not long after, I saw a white light flash nearby. When I woke up, I found that Sister Jiang was gone.”
"I'm not sure if she disappeared early in the morning, or if she disappeared when that white light appeared."
"White light?" Zuan frowned, it seemed the problem was mostly with that white light.
"What kind of white light are you talking about?" Huo Zheng Wu Hui suddenly asked from the side.
“I was still half asleep at the time and didn’t know much. I just felt that there was some light in front of me,” Yun Yuqing said as she recalled. “Although the white light was bright, it wasn’t dazzling. And at that time, I inexplicably felt a sense of insignificance, as if I were just a drop in the ocean. That feeling was very strange.”
"Oh?" Wu Hui pondered for a moment. "What you're saying sounds like a deity descended to earth. Didn't you say you heard her making a wish? Sometimes, the strong desires of earthly beings attract the attention of the gods in heaven."
Yun Yuqing was overjoyed: "Aren't you the God of Fire from heaven? Could you help me find out which deity summoned her?"
Upon hearing the title "God of Fire," Wu Hui subconsciously puffed out his chest: "Don't worry, I'll ask around for you. However, since the connection between Heaven and Earth was recently severed, I can't contact the Heavenly Court right now. I'll inquire for you when I return to the Heavenly Court later."
Seeing that he was willing to help, Zuan's displeasure from the previous fight vanished instantly: "Thank you, Lord Vulcan."
Wu Hui stared at him in confusion and said, "Strange, you are actually of human blood. When did the human race have such a powerful being as you?"
"It was just a coincidence." It was inconvenient to explain Zuan's background.
Yun Yuqing knew his identity and background were a secret, so she considerately changed the subject: "Xiao Xi has been kidnapped, and Sister Jiang has disappeared. I had to search everywhere, but unfortunately, there was no way to find her..."
Seeing her downcast expression, Zuan couldn't help but gently hold her hand. He could easily imagine how helpless she must have felt at that moment, finding herself in a strange world where all the creatures were inexplicably powerful, her companions disappearing one by one, and she not even knowing that he was in this world. She was truly insignificant and lonely to the extreme.
Feeling the warmth of his palm, Yun Yuqing calmed down a bit and continued, "Later, I happened to meet Lord Fire God. They saw me and said that I had the purest demon bloodline, and they helped me a lot along the way."
"Demon race?" Zu An was taken aback. Wasn't she a demon?
Wait a minute, those true demons in the demon world previously claimed to be descendants of the orthodox Heavenly Court demon race. Could it be that the demon race to which Yun Yuqing belongs is actually the true descendant of the Heavenly Court demon race?
Seemingly sensing the doubt in his eyes, Wu Hui said, "Miss Yun is a descendant of the Azure Emperor. Her bloodline is so pure that it is rare even among the Heavenly Emperors. But strangely, there are no records related to her in the Heavenly Court. So I plan to invite her to the Heavenly Court so that the Heavenly Emperor can take a look."
Seeing that the other party looked somewhat wary, he snorted and said, "Don't worry, her bloodline is genuine. This is a great opportunity for her."
"This is a good thing, thank you very much, Lord Vulcan." Zuan smiled and bowed, which made the other party's expression improve.
At this moment, the voice of the Goddess of Wushan rang in my ears: "Wu Hui only said half of what he said. This is a great opportunity for her, but it may not be for you. Miss Yun has the purest bloodline in the Heavenly Court. However, as far as I know, immortals and mortals are on different paths. The Heavenly Court generally does not allow immortals and humans to fall in love. Moreover, her bloodline is so pure that it is even more afraid that your human identity will pollute this bloodline."
Zu An looked at the Goddess of Wushan, only to see that her lips hadn't moved and she hadn't even looked at him, clearly giving him a subtle hint. He couldn't help but smile and replied telepathically, "I'm only happy for her to have such an opportunity..."
Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Wushan wondered if he meant to give up on this relationship.
Although it is indeed the act of a gentleman, why do I still feel a sense of regret?
The next second, Zu'an continued, "But no one can stop our relationship, not even the Heavenly Court. At worst, they can tear a huge hole in the sky."
"You mustn't say such treasonous things. If the Heavenly Court finds out, not to mention anything else, this God of Fire will fight you to the death." The Goddess of Wushan was startled and hurriedly advised her, while a faint smile involuntarily appeared on her face. This man was indeed different from others. He had a strange vitality and wildness about him, and he was always so unexpected.
"Why are you here? And how did these Shouyang witches die?" Wu Hui asked. Since the other party was someone Yun Yuqing knew, and he also knew from their conversation that the other woman was the Goddess of Wushan, a being of extraordinary status, she shouldn't have done such a heinous thing.
However, it is said that the goddess has always lived in seclusion in Wushan and never goes out. Why is she here this time?
“We’re also here to investigate a conspiracy…” Zu An then recounted the whole story.
"The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls!" Wu Hui's flames blazed brightly. "Who dares to do such a despicable and vicious thing? If I find him, I will burn his soul for tens of thousands of years!"
"This matter will require the Heavenly Court to investigate thoroughly." Zu'an had originally intended to hand this matter over to the Heavenly Court, and now he had finally met the person in charge.
"We are indeed duty-bound to do this, but we are currently unable to contact the Heavenly Court, so I will investigate first," Wu Hui said in a deep voice. Clearly, the impact of the severing of the connection between Heaven and Earth has caused many inconveniences.
Seeing that he had agreed, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief and then asked Yun Yuqing, "By the way, why are you here?"
"We were also investigating the mysterious person who kidnapped Xiaoxi. We found a little clue before, so we came here to try our luck. We didn't expect to run into you." Reunited with her lover in another world, Yun Yuqing's eyes were full of joy.
The Mermaid Queen's voice suddenly rang out: "Do you think the mysterious person who kidnapped Miss Ji might be the same person we're investigating who made the Ten Thousand Soul Banner? I remember the Goddess mentioned before that making such a powerful Ten Thousand Soul Banner seems to require some special poisons?"
