Xu Yu frowned, “You’re saying that Mo Yu is participating in this issue and has come? Wasn’t he always at odds with Di Zhe?”

“He has a bad relationship with Di Zhe, but it involved someone by his side.”

“Who is that?”

“If I am not mistaken, she is the Young Princess from the Ghost Region that many people are talking about recently. The child that Yu Ke Luo had in the Human Realm, Sima You Yue. I’ve seen that she looks extremely similar to Yu Ke Luo.”

“Then there’s a ninety percent chance that it is her.” Xu Yu said, “I’ve also heard about what she’s done in the Ghost Region. Her character is really very much like her mother.”

At that time, he had followed Xiao He and accompanied Qing Hun to the Ghost Region to propose a marriage. There he met Yu ke Luo, and she was truly a woman with a fiery personality. Sima You Yue had caused quite a bit of a ruckus in the Ghost Realm, and every single one of them was a large-scale one.

“Di Zhe treats this Young Princess very well. The difference between what happened in the past was also that Mo Yu and herself participated. That is why, Your Highness, you can guess that this probably has something to do with her.

“Sima You Yue huh…” Xu Yu muttered Sima You?Yue’s name, and the person kneeling on the ground trembled from head to toe. He knew Xu Yi’s personality and knew that, whether or not Sima You Yue had anything to do with this situation, he would have committed her to memory.

However, they dared not to say anything. They were able to find a person who would be the target of his anger, and they would be stupid to turn the focus to themselves.

“The few of you, you’ll receive your punishment when we return.” Xu Yi’s anger had subsided quite a bit. Based on his usual standards, he would have killed off those who had survived. Now that he had only asked them to go back to receive a punishment, it was letting them off lightly.

It seems like the act of shifting the blame was very useful.

Xu Yi waved his hand and those people left immediately. They quickly left before he changed his mind.

The two guards standing behind Xu Yi saw that they had escaped so quickly that they barely left a shadow behind. They really wanted to tell them, though, that though their situation was different from before, even if they returned, they would only be left half alive.

“Master, I have already met with those two groups of people. What should I do next?”

Xu Yi pondered about it for a moment, saying, “We’ll see the situation. If these are the only two places that have been destroyed, we just have to change them a bit. If they really have a way to find out about the other things, then that will really be troublesome.”

After a short moment had passed, two more groups from the soul clan were pulled out as well. Xu Yi was certain this time that Di Zhe had managed to find a method to confirm who his people were. His other troops couldn’t continue to stay on. Otherwise, every one of them might end up trapped here.

Di Zhe was extremely happy recently. With the method that Sima You Yue had taught him, during his interrogations, he wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble. He would just have to torture them until they exhausted their mental strength. The information he obtained was quick and reliable. There was no way that he would capture the wrong people.

This was something that was impossible last time!

It was just a pity that the remaining groups had run away too quickly. Otherwise, he would have reaped an even bigger reward.

During this period of time, Sima You Yue was in semi-secluded cultivation. She didn’t need to focus too much on the soul clan, so she could focus on cultivation.

After two months had passed, Di Zhe came to look for her. He told her that he was almost done settling the issues here and the remaining men had already escaped. He had to leave for the Imperial Capital now as well, so he came to ask if she wanted to go with him.

Sima You Yue rejected him, saying that she wanted to return after cultivating. Di Zhe saw that Mo Yu was with her and that Mo Yu and the others were here too, so she would definitely be safe. That was why he did not insist that she had to follow him. After nagging her for a bit, he left with his men.

Sima You Yue didn’t think that she would suddenly have a compulsive urge to want to cultivate. She casually saved a group of people who actually had such a big plot.

After Di Zhe left, she prepared to continue on her journey. Before she managed to return to the room, Pi Ling came to the inn.

The way that she looked at Sima You Yue had improved so much. Thinking about how she had once thought of her the same as the other princesses made her blush with shame.

“Region Ruler Ling?” Sima You Yue didn’t think that she would come at this period of time, so after she and Wu Lingyu checked them out of their rooms, she went to the hall with Pi Ling.

“Young Princess, we have to thank you for what happened this time. If not for you, I would not have known that so many from the soul clan were actually among us. It seems like we have lowered our guard too much recently.” Pi Ling said.

“The most important thing is that nothing happened and that it’s in the past.” Sima You Yue said.

“Mm!” Pi Ling smiled, “Young Princess, are you preparing to leave? Where are you headed to next?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet. I’ll just choose a direction to walk in once I’m out.” Sima You Yue said.

“Since you don’t have any particular direction to head towards, Young Princess, why don’t you head to the Fei Si Region?”

“Could it be that something happened there?”

Pi Ling nodded, “I heard that the underworld beasts have been rather restless over there at Dark Cloud Mountain. Many people have rushed over.”

The underworld beasts of a place will not become restless for no reason. Something must definitely have happened. It was possible some sort of treasure appeared.

Sima You Yue understood that Pi Ling had purposely come to give her this information. She smiled, “Then I’ll go take a look.”

“Right now, everyone only knows that there’s some activity happening, but they don’t know why. That’s why, it’s possible that it’s dangerous. However, with Uncle Mo Yu by your side, you should be safe.”

“Thank you for coming specially to tell me about this.”

At this time, Wu Lingyu had already finished returning the rooms and walked over. Because it belonged to Du Zhe, they didn’t spend a single cent despite staying here for such a long time.

Pi Ling saw that he was already done and bid her farewells.

“What were you talking about?” Wu Lingyu asked.

“The place that we’re headed to next.” Sima You Yue said, “She said that there’s something happening with the underworld beasts over at Dark Cloud Mountain. She even knows about what’s happening at a place so far away, which means that something big must be happening. In any case, we haven’t figured out where to head to next, so why don’t we head there to take a look?”

The others had no objections, so they took a teleportation area over directly.

They changed teleportation arrays three more times and finally arrived at the Fei Si Region. When they arrived at Dark Cloud Mountain, there was no need to ask how they knew where it was, because there were just too many people over there.

Sima You Yue’s group followed behind a large group. They saw so many people walking past them and sighed, “There are just too many people heading there. With so many people, how could they not discover anything? What if the item is taken away before we even manage to head over?”

“It won’t. It’s because there’s no resolution to the issue that so many people are heading there.” Mo Yu said.

“That’s strange then.” Sima You Yue touched her chin, “Three two four months have already passed since we found out about it. Nobody has managed to find anything after so long. This proves that this situation is really weird.”

“If there’s anything to find, we’ll know once we head over there.” Mo Yu didn’t care much for things like treasure.

“Mm. With someone like you who is so adept at treasure, I’m guessing that we won’t return home empty handed.” Sima You Yue patted his shoulder, as if she was depending on him.

Mo Yu was speechless. Why did he feel like she was treating him like a treasure hunting dog? What kind of comparison was this?!
