Chapter 1981: Unable to Take Both Into Account

Hearing Ning Wanxuan's words, Lu Yu was stunned: "The Netherworld Temple called? Why didn't anyone notify me?"

Although his trip to the Great Evil Empire was a secret operation, Ning Wanxuan had always known his movements. At least Cui Zhenzhen would synchronize the news with her. Even if he couldn't find his people, as long as Ning Wanqing sent a super-large "fireworks" message, he would know that this side had entered an emergency state, but in fact they didn't do so.

Ning Wanxuan said: "It's not that they called, but their personnel are gathering. Not only the Netherworld Temple, but also the personnel of the three major sects are gathering. It seems that they are all under the command of the Netherworld Temple now... I heard from Zhenzhen that you and Miss Jing are doing a very important job. Before the situation is further clarified, we can't make a judgment, so we didn't notify you."

In the final analysis, it was because she learned that Lu Yu was planning to relocate the entire Su Yu Yunchi. She couldn't imagine how huge this project would be, so she didn't disturb Lu Yu rashly.

Hearing this explanation, Lu Yu felt relieved, but soon he became confused again: "What about the lady? Where did she go?"

Ning Wanxuan hesitated: "Sister Huo... She went to Junshui City."

"Junshui City?" Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that this was a northern city, quite far away from Fenghezhou.

It seems that it is still the capital of a certain empire, but compared with cities like Ruijing and Wangjing, Junshui City's influence is far less than the latter. If it must be said that it has something special, the only thing worth mentioning is that it was the former capital of the Guanlan Empire.

But that was a thousand years ago. The former prosperity had already completely declined in the war and turned into ruins. After a thousand years, it is hard to say what is left there. Even if there is, Madam Ru doesn't seem to need to rush... Lu Yu really can't think of any need for her to go there.

"What is she going there for?" Lu Yu asked.

"She went to see someone from the Underworld Temple... The Underworld Temple sent an envoy, saying that a high-ranking official from the Underworld Temple invited her to attend a meeting, so she hurried over alone..." Ning Wanxuan replied.

"What?" Lu Yu felt incredible: "The Underworld Temple sent someone to invite her, so she went alone?"

Ning Wanxuan nodded and said, "Yes... I don't know why Sister Huo was like this, but not long after she met the envoy, she left alone. I saw her letter and knew that she was going to Qingshui City to keep an appointment."

As she said that, she handed a note to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took it and saw that it was indeed written by Madam Ru. The content was also very simple, just explaining her whereabouts and asking everyone not to worry.

But the more this was the case, the more strange this matter was.

Lu Yu handed the note to Fu Jing, but frowned even more tightly, and asked: "What is going on?"

Ning Wanxuan said: "I asked the guard afterwards, and it is said that the messenger showed a token emitting red light. After seeing the token, Sister Huo's face changed drastically on the spot, and then she left alone soon after... I guess that the token may be related to the former Guanlan Empire..."

As she said, she couldn't help but glance at Fu Jing beside her: "Maybe Miss Jing will know what it is..."

Fu Jing shook her head: "I have never heard of such a token in the Guanlan Empire. Even if it is indeed an extremely important thing in the past of the Guanlan Empire, she did not go to the meeting alone, unless..."

Fu Jing did not say anything more, but Lu Yu still heard her implication.

On the surface, Mrs. Ru's behavior is simply confusing, but if you reverse it from the opposite side, then the reason why she did this is obvious.

In this situation today, there can only be one reason that makes her so confused and desperate - that is something related to the Supreme Power.

"Could it be that the token... is the remnant soul of the Supreme Power?" Lu Yu said in surprise.

Fu Jing said: "Mother only told me that she had seen the remnant soul of the Supreme Power more than once, but she never described the specific scene, so I don't know what the remnant soul of the Supreme Power is like in the hands of the Underworld Temple... But to this day, what mother said may not be completely credible!"

Lu Yu understood what she meant. In fact, he had the same suspicion about Madam Ru. From her almost paranoid demands on Fu Jing and her efforts to destroy the relationship between Fu Jing and herself, it can be seen that she still has secrets hidden in her. Her descriptions of past history are not the truth, at least not the whole truth.

"How long has she been gone?" Lu Yu asked again.

No matter what the purpose of the Underworld Temple is, no matter what secrets she hides, as long as she catches up, the truth will be revealed.

"It will probably take only half a day." Ning Wanxuan replied.

So Lu Yu looked at Fu Jing again. In half a day, with Madam Ru's speed, it would be impossible to reach Junshui City. As long as he used the Heaven and Earth Five Elements Escape, he could easily catch up with Madam Ru. The only problem was that the six-peptide magic cube in their hands had not been settled yet.

This object is very important to Lu Yu and even the entire Ark on the Other Side. After being transported along the way, the two of them have a deeper understanding of this object. Although it looks honest on the surface, in fact But it is in a very unstable state. It is best not to let it out of sight until it is completely installed.

Fu Jing immediately understood what Lu Yu meant and said with understanding: "Go after her! I'll take the Six Peptide Cube back to the ark first."

Lu Yu nodded and was about to use the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth Escape.

But at this moment, the sky suddenly became overcast with clouds, thunder and lightning flashed, and then a huge ball of light rose up and exploded in the air, lighting up the land within Fenghe Prefecture like fireworks.

"It's Wanqing! Why did she activate the alarm at this time?" Ning Wanxuan said in shock.

Lu Yu couldn't help but feel his heart sink. Just now he was complaining that he didn't see Ning Wanqing's early warning message. He didn't expect it to be effective so quickly, but this was definitely not a good time...

Ning Wanqing would initiate such an early warning summons, indicating that the enemy was close at hand. Does this mean that Mrs. Ru would also be in danger? Or has she fallen into the enemy's trap?

Sure enough, not long after, King Ye led a group of subordinates to report in a hurry: "Reporting to the leader of the alliance, Mr. Feng, a large number of strong men from the three major sects have been found outside the country. Almost all the senior officials have arrived, and the forefront is less than two meters away from Fenghe Prefecture. Hundreds of miles!”

Two hundred miles away, for the strong men at their level, the attack was imminent. The opponent's actions were equivalent to stringing their bows and pointing sharp arrows at them.

Lu Yu's face was as dark as water and he asked: "Which specific direction is it?"

"They are all in the east, south, and north, but the main force is still concentrated in the east-north direction." King Ye replied.

East by north...that is exactly the direction Mrs. Ru left.

Lu Yu couldn't help but feel his heart sink again. He had somewhat understood the other party's intention. No matter who was behind all this, the other party didn't seem to want him to chase Mrs. Ru.

Of course, if he is determined to pursue him, the other party will definitely not be able to stop him, because his Heaven and Earth Five Elements Escape can make infinite detours at 360 degrees, and it is impossible for the other party to block it...

However, there is one problem that he cannot get around, that is Feng Hezhou and Mrs. Ru. He can only consider one of them. Which one should he give up?
