Where is the person?
He You sat in the main hall of the Church of Light, his eyes indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
His exceptionally handsome face exuded an innate imperial aura, and his entire body radiated an aura that seemed poised to tear apart everything around him in an instant.
Dongfang Quanjiu was forced to kneel in the center of the hall by the guards, his eyes fixed on He You, wanting to resist but helpless.
He You's power should not be underestimated. The Dark Cult is gradually growing in strength. Although Dongfang Quanjiu sent secret guards from all directions to investigate, they all came to nothing in the end.
He You is now not only the leader of the Dark Cult, but also the new emperor of the Southern Kingdom.
Under these circumstances, Dongfang Quanjiu would never dare to easily break off relations, because all the old, weak, sick, and disabled members of the Light Cult were hiding in this place.
If He You were to go on a killing spree, the Church of Light would likely be in grave danger...
Because no one can escape the pursuit of the Dark Cult.
The hatred in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by calmness and composure. He slowly raised his eyes to look at He You and said slowly, "She... has been taken away."
"who?"
“My son, Dongfang Yerong.”
He You's eyes remained dark and unfathomable, a fleeting hint of panic quickly passing through them, but it was quickly concealed as information about Dongfang Ye Rong flashed through his mind.
He recognized the name; it belonged to the owner behind the Dream Tower in the capital of Yi Kingdom.
"Where did you go?" He You continued to ask, without showing any urgency.
Dongfang Quanjiu spoke calmly, without any struggle: "South China Sea, Penglai Island."
“Penglai Island!” He You frowned slightly. “Why would she go to the legendary, ethereal Penglai Island?”
"Could it be that Nannan has already..."
"No!!!"
He You quickly pulled his thoughts out of his mind, interrupting those terrible ideas. He couldn't bear to hear any more bad news about Li Baobei.
"How many days have you been gone?"
"Three days."
He You quickly stood up and walked outside, thinking to himself, "As long as I rush to the South China Sea tonight, I will definitely be able to see Nan Nan."
"If he could see her again, he would protect her carefully and never let her suffer any more grievances or harm."
The moment they stepped outside, He You's icy voice slowly rang out, barely audible, yet its chilling tone sent shivers down their spines.
“If she suffers even the slightest harm, I will wipe out the entire Church of Light.”
Dongfang Quanjiu's body stiffened instantly, and his breathing stopped for a few seconds.
At this moment, he only hoped that the assassins he sent out would return empty-handed, otherwise...
In the blink of an eye, only one person remained, slumped on the ground, in the main hall of the Church of Light.
Dongfang Quanjiu stood up tremblingly, and a moment later the guards outside rushed in.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "Just as I thought! Everything the Dark Cult wants to hunt down will be utterly powerless..."
"This is the Dark Cult, a hidden assassin organization in the city, cold-blooded and violent!"
He You rode his horse at breakneck speed on the road to the South China Sea. All he wanted now was to find Nan Nan immediately, and he would give her whatever she wanted.

Li Baobei slumped weakly on the carriage cushions, unaware of where she was.
Her senses have completely diminished; she can no longer walk, hear, or make hoarse sounds, making her resemble a living dead.
But she knew that Anji was by her side every moment, taking care of her in every possible way.
She could no longer feel pain in her body; even when she placed her hand over a candle flame, she felt nothing.
One day, Li Baobei felt as if she had been carried to a place more spacious than a carriage. This place seemed to be swaying and rocking, like being on a boat.
She was also scared, but Anji was always by her side, so the fear wasn't so obvious.
Occasionally, she could vaguely sense someone holding her hand and keeping her company while she slept, and at these times she could always sleep peacefully.
Li Baobei knew that this person was Dongfang Yerong.
Soon.
He You arrived at the dock where he was supposed to go out to sea, but his guards inquired around and found out that the person had already left.
