West Palace.

A man in a dragon robe was sitting in the imperial study. He was tall and strong, and looked intimidating without even getting angry. He was looking down at Si Mingcheng who was kneeling on the ground, frowning and asking:

"You've been searching for so long, but you still can't find it?"

Si Mingcheng shuddered and said quickly, "Your Majesty, after Qiu Zhihe and her husband appeared in the Northern Wasteland Fallen Fairy Forest half a year ago, they disappeared without a trace. The Golden Snake Guards have been searching for them with all their might. I believe they will be found soon..."

"You said the same thing a month ago."

The emperor spoke calmly.

Si Mingcheng trembled, his forehead touched the ground, and he said repeatedly:

"I am incompetent. Your Majesty, please give me a little more time. I will definitely capture Qiu Zhihe!"

The emperor suddenly said, "Si Mingcheng, among the brothers and sisters of the Si family, I had the best impression of Si Minglan. If she were the leader of the Golden Snake Guard, do you think she would be as useless as you?"

Si Mingcheng kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have searched all over Dongxiu, Beihuang, and Xihuang, but there is really no clue at all!"

The emperor supported his face with one hand and said calmly, "There is still one more place."

Si Mingcheng looked up in astonishment: "The Land of the Southern Demons? But, but... this place is extremely dangerous. If Lady Qiu went there, I'm afraid she would be in great danger, right?"

Emperor Wu Zheng of the West looked at Si Mingcheng coldly: "What's the point of keeping you here, you coward?"

Simingcheng was horrified and said quickly: "I will go to the land of the Southern Demon immediately!"

At this time, the emperor's personal eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress is here."

Wu Zheng's expression changed, the dignity on his face disappeared instantly, and he waved his hands at Si Mingcheng in panic: "Hurry and hide!"

Si Mingcheng was startled. Wu Zhenglian had already run over and pushed him into the curtain behind the desk, warning him:

"Be quiet!"

Si Mingcheng quickly covered his mouth and nodded repeatedly.

Wu Zheng immediately sat down at the table. The old eunuch skillfully picked up a pair of memorials and placed them on the table. Wu Zheng picked up a memorial and pretended to read it.

The next moment, a woman wearing a purple-red phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head walked into the imperial study.

She has picturesque features and a graceful temperament. She is none other than Queen West Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan walked slowly, her red skirt trailing on the ground, and came to the emperor's desk with a smile as gentle as the warm sun on her face:

"Your Majesty, are you so diligent today?"

The emperor put down the memorial and laughed, "I received the Queen's admonition the other day, and I deeply agree with it. It is indeed necessary to put aside distracting thoughts and put the country first."

Lin Yuan glanced at Si Mingcheng's hiding place calmly: "Your Majesty is not abandoning distracting thoughts, but just because you can't find it, right?"

Wu Zheng's expression froze. Si Mingcheng, who had been hiding behind him, came out, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly:

"Your Majesty, I am here to report to Your Majesty about the unusual movements of the Zhenyang Sect!"

Wu Zheng also hurriedly said, "Yes, Queen, Commander Si recently learned that two elders of Zhenyang Sect are in seclusion to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, so he came to report to me!"

"Oh, right, right! Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan from Zhenyang Sect are in seclusion together to strive for the Spiritual Transformation Realm. They must be competing for the position of the Sect Leader!"

Si Mingcheng quickly added.

"Yeah?"

Lin Yuan was still dignified and graceful, but her face seemed to be smiling:

"Then do you know that Zhenyang Sect secretly sent disciples to the Southern Demon Land yesterday."

"this……"

Wu Zheng was startled and pointed at Si Mingcheng: "Why didn't you report this to me?"

Si Mingcheng knelt on the ground and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this!"

Wu Zheng put away the pressure on his face and said to Lin Yuan in a flattering manner: "Queen, you see, Commander Si doesn't know either. Where did you get this information?"

Lin Yuan said calmly, "I will have a fight with Tan Tai Ming Yue one day. She has placed spies in the West Palace, so I can also secretly send people to Zhen Yang Sect. Your Majesty, do you know that Ye Xi Yue, whom you have always wanted to take as your concubine, already has a man?"

"What?!" Wu Zheng suddenly jumped up: "Fairy Xiyue already has a man? Who is it?!"

Seeing Lin Yuan looking at him indifferently, Wu Zheng froze and quickly explained: "Queen, don't misunderstand me. I don't have any feelings for Ye Xiyue. All the beauties in the world put together are not as good as a hair of yours!"

Lin Yuan ignored Wu Zheng's pale compliment and continued, "Among the Zhenyang Sect disciples who went to the Southern Demon Land, there was the one named Lan Yin."

"Lan Yin?" Wu Zheng immediately became serious and frowned, "The man that Yiren loves?"

Lin Yuan nodded: "After Yiren came back, she lost her appetite and wanted to marry Lan Yin. I looked into this person and only knew that she was from the Northern Wasteland, but I don't know much else."

"The Queen is really thoughtful!" Wu Zheng flattered and asked Lin Yuan:

"I'm afraid this person intends to get close to Yiren. Queen, what do you mean..."

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, looked at Si Mingcheng, and said slowly:

"Go to the Southern Demon Land quickly and find out why the Zhenyang Sect disciples acted in secret. Then find out Lan Yin's purpose in approaching Yiren. If he really has some plan, kill him!"

"yes!"

Si Mingcheng accepted the order, kowtowed and quickly stood up to slip away. Lin Yuan's voice sounded again behind him:

"If we find Qiu Zhihe, we'll kill her as well."

…

Thunder Sword Sect.

The place where the master is in seclusion, the Thunder Sword Tower.

A huge bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and a tall and burly figure stood on top of it, like the god of thunder descending to the earth, and laughed wildly:

"Hahaha, my cultivation has finally recovered! I, Su Longxiang, am back again!"

Su Longxiang rode on the lightning, jumped down from the Thunder Sword Tower, and landed steadily on the ground.

The eldest disciple Minghu, and the elders Huang Kezhou and Su Qingfeng stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the master for restoring his magical powers!"

Su Longxiang laughed loudly: "Chen Qingmo is in seclusion and Bai Liu is seriously injured and unable to recover. My Thunder Sword Sect has finally waited for this day!"

Bai Liu is the head of the Feiyun Sect. Like Su Longxiang and Chen Qingmo, he was seriously injured in the battle of Tianlu Mountain.

Among the three, Su Longxiang recovered the fastest, and his fighting power was even better than before, reaching the true realm of half-step to godhood.

Currently Bai Liu is seriously injured, Chen Qingmo is in seclusion, Zheng Shengmo, the elder with the highest level of cultivation among the Zhenyang Sect elders, died suddenly, and Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan suddenly went into seclusion again.

In today's Dongxiu area, if we talk about top-level combat power, the Thunder Sword Sect is already the strongest sect.

Su Longxiang was full of energy and he waved his hand: "Where's Hongling? I want to show her that her father is already a half-step god, number one in the world, hahahaha!"

The three of them looked at each other, and Minghu said weakly: "Master, Junior Sister...ran away."

Su Longxiang's laughter stopped abruptly, his eyes widened: "She ran away again? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her?"

Elder Su Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Master, Hong Ling has recovered to the eighth level of the Golden Core. We can't stop her."

Su Longxiang said angrily: "You three are all at the eighth level of Yuanying, and you can't even stop an eighth level of Jindan?"

Ming Hu said with a bitter face: "Master, you know how talented Junior Sister is. The eighth level of Golden Core is enough to beat ordinary Nascent Souls. And her hammer is too powerful. It hit us so hard that it hurt our heads."

The other two also complained and pulled up their hair to show the bags on their heads to Su Longxiang.

Su Longxiang was speechless: "Did Hongling say where she went?"

Minghu said, "The people we planted in Zhenyang Sect sent back a message saying that Zhenyang Sect sent people to the Southern Demon Land, and Ye Xiyue was among them. When Junior Sister heard this, she couldn't sit still and insisted on going."

"The Land of the Southern Demons?"
