"What's this? I know that the spirits come from the Second Continent and are raised by the Qiong family."
"What? The Second Continent? The Qiong family. Wasn't it the Qiong family that started this trouble? They're such a rotten apple, they can't stand to see the people at peace."
As the surrounding chatter grew louder, Meiling's head buzzed.
How do these people know so much?
When was this news leaked? How did they know? Could it be that Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen have already returned?
Impossible. If they're back, why didn't they come to the wedding banquet?
But if they hadn't returned, how could this news have leaked out? Those present at the time knew Yun Qingluo and his group.
Seeing that Meiling seemed somewhat dazed, Yunying's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but she quickly regained her composure and stepped forward with her people, saying, "This is the token of the Sumeru Dynasty. Everyone has one. You say you are the Empress of my Sumeru Dynasty, so where is your token?"
Yun Qinglu was startled. What the hell was this token?
She inherited all of Yun Qingluo's memories, how could she not know?
Is there anything she doesn't know?
"It's just a token, how could I not have one? Look, open your dog eyes and see clearly, isn't this it?" Mei Ling snorted coldly, thankfully she was prepared.
"Hmph, the Sumeru Dynasty doesn't have this token at all. It seems you really are fake," Yun Ying sneered, secretly relieved.
Meiling's face turned extremely ugly. She hadn't expected Yunying to know so much and even dare to openly question her identity.
"You don't even know this little secret, yet you dare to call yourself the Queen of the Sumeru Dynasty? It seems you won't learn your lesson until you're faced with the truth. Guards, seize her and take her before the Emperor and Empress to be judged by them," Yunying said loudly, waving her hand to signal the guards behind her to come forward and arrest her.
The spirit was shocked. "Impossible! How could they have come back?"
That wasn't her plan!
She originally thought she could use this opportunity to escape, but instead she found herself in an even greater crisis.
The spirit was torn between whether to take the opportunity to check if it was true or not, but if it was true, then she would never be able to escape again.
But how can we be sure if we don't go?
Upon hearing this, Meiling's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, her eyes flashing with anger. She angrily rebuked the guards, "You damned slaves, you don't even recognize your own master! You deserve to die!"
However, Yun Ying became increasingly certain that the person before her was not the real Yun Qingluo. She knew Yun Qingluo's character well; even when emotionally agitated, she would never insult them as "damned slaves."
"Hmph, how dare you impersonate our Empress? Don't you dare to come with us to confront her?" Yunying snorted coldly, carrying her long sword straight forward, the tip of the sword pointing at Meiling, and a sharp sword aura rushed towards them.
The spirit initially tried to remain calm, but when she saw the intense killing intent emanating from the sword, she knew that if she didn't dodge, she might really lose her life. So, she gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it, I'll settle the score with you another day."
Having said that, just as the longsword was about to touch her body, the spirit suddenly transformed into a cloud of purple mist and vanished without a trace.
Upon seeing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically once again, and exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
"My God, is this really a spirit? The spirit is actually still alive."
The crowd looked terrified and scattered in all directions.
"Run! The Enchantress has already infiltrated the capital. Get out of here quickly!"
In the blink of an eye, only Yunying and his men remained on the entire street; everyone else had vanished without a trace.
"Master Ying, the people we sent out to search for the Emperor and Empress have still not returned with any news. What should we do?" A man in black stepped forward and asked worriedly.
His gaze was fixed on Yunying in front of him, waiting for her to give an answer.
Yunying stood there, her brows slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of irritation and anxiety.
His eyes flickered with worry as he thought to himself, "Two months have passed, and there's still no news from them. Could something really have happened to them?"
This is so frustrating—no one's been seen, and no one's even dead.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and then said calmly, "Have everyone at the outposts go out and search, leaving no stone unturned. Report any findings to me immediately. At the same time, keep a close eye on the situation in various locations to ensure we know their whereabouts as soon as possible."
After saying that, her gaze swept across the empty street again, and she secretly vowed to find them.
"Yes!" the man in black nodded respectfully, then turned and left.
Yunying gazed silently into the distance, her mind racing. She knew the situation was extremely urgent; she had to find the Emperor and Empress as soon as possible, or the consequences would be dire.
At the same time, she also realized that Yun Qingluo's identity had been exposed, but Mo Beichen's true identity had not yet been revealed.
However, people on other continents can probably guess what's going on.
The occurrence of the Enchantress incident will undoubtedly cause a stir, and she only hopes that this stir can buy more time for the Sumeru Continent, allowing them to be well prepared to deal with the possible crisis.
Xuanming sat in the palace, already aware of everything that had happened at the city gate.
He nodded slightly and said calmly, "Yes, send someone to spread a message to the various continents. Tell them that Mo Beichen, who came to offer his congratulations, was actually a spirit in disguise, so everything he said in the main hall earlier is invalid."
