Chapter 710: Yun Qingxue's Whereabouts
Four days later, in the palace.
Mu Xuan and others came to pay respect to the Holy Yuan Empress and took Zhao Heng back to the Yuhua Sect.
In fact, on the second day after Mu Xuan met Zhao Heng, she was ready to take him back to the sect to recognize his ancestors.
Unexpectedly, her own disciple and the Holy Yuan Empress actually had a deeper relationship, so Mu Xuan deliberately waited for three days before entering the palace.
At this time, Mu Xuan sat in the guest seat on one side of the hall, looking at the Holy Yuan Empress on the dragon throne in the golden hall.
Today, the empress wore a golden-based, dragon-and-phoenix-embroidered, wide-collared, gorgeous robe, phoenix hairpin, golden crown, and a crown on her head, still exuding a luxurious and majestic aura.
So what is different from the past is that the empress has bright and moist eyes, her skin is white and rosy, and she is as delicate as a baby. She is full of energy, as if she is reborn, which makes the empress's already beautiful face even more beautiful and beautiful.
Even a woman like Mu Xuan, who was pure-hearted and devoted to the Tao, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Moreover, she was shocked to find that the empress's original cultivation level of the early Guiyuan Realm had actually broken through to the middle Guiyuan Realm.
Her aura was strong and powerful, and even faintly reached a bottleneck, with signs of breaking through the late Guiyuan Realm.
Mu Xuan was surprised to find all this.
In just three days, the empress had such a huge change. There was no need to guess that it must be related to her favorite disciple.
She turned her eyes and looked at Zhao Heng who was sitting opposite. Seeing that Zhao Heng also had a ruddy face and a normal complexion, Mu Xuan was relieved. It seemed that Xiao Heng had not been taken by someone.
Although she was a little curious, Mu Xuan still maintained the stability of an elder and spoke calmly.
"Your Majesty, I will take Xiao Heng back to the sect today, and I came to bid farewell to Your Majesty."
Hearing this, the empress's soft eyes reluctantly moved away from Zhao Heng, and then nodded seriously.
"Senior Mu, when will you leave?"
"I'll leave the palace later and will be back in a few days." Mu Xuan replied.
Her mission now is to guard the palace, so she naturally can't leave for too long.
Although the empress looked reluctant, she nodded and said, "Senior Mu, don't worry. There is a formation arranged by Zhao Lang in the palace. This place is not far from Yuhua Sect. I will be fine."
At that moment, Zhao Heng and Mu Xuan and others got up and left the palace.
Before leaving, Zhao Heng exchanged glances with the empress and whispered something in secret.
Hearing this, the empress blushed and her body became a little weak. She leaned on the dragon chair and said softly, "Senior Mu, I feel a little unwell today, so I won't see you off."
Mu Xuan's eyes flashed with confusion, and without thinking much, she took Zhao Heng out of the palace hall.
Not long after, a ship flew up from the west gate of Shengyuan City and rushed into the sky.
On the ship was Mu Xuan, leading Zhao Heng and the disciples back to Yuhua Sect.
At this time, on the ship, Zhao Heng looked at Qi Hongyuan who had his back to him and remained silent all the way, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Big Brother, why don't you face me?"
Qi Hongyuan was silent, Zhao Heng asked a few questions, and he finally spoke in a muffled voice.
"Junior brother... do you know what it means that jealousy makes people unrecognizable?"
"Uh... Senior brother, are you talking about Her Majesty the Queen? Or the four courtesans of the Golden Phoenix Pavilion?"
"Enough...!" Qi Hongyuan's shoulders shrugged violently, and his emotions were extremely unstable.
"Junior brother, people like you are not suitable to be friends, it's so annoying!"
Zhao Heng deeply understood in his heart that when you find that a brother who is as loser as you can drive a sports car with one hand and has a white, rich and beautiful girlfriend.
When the women you are thinking about are all his former confidantes, your mentality and worldview will collapse.
Zhao Heng quickly said a few words to comfort him, "There are beautiful women everywhere in the world, and Big Brother will eat tender grass sooner or later."
Qi Hongyuan's wounded heart finally healed slowly. He turned around and looked at Zhao Heng cautiously with a pair of slightly red and swollen eyes.
"Junior brother, you have accumulated merits in your previous life to have a woman like the empress accompany you. Don't be so irritating next time. The blessing is too great and you can't grasp it."
Zhao Heng patted his chest and promised that he would never irritate the senior brother again.
Qi Hongyuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said happily that he would drink three hundred cups with Zhao Heng again when he returned to the sect.
The brothers were talking and laughing happily, and Master Mu Xuan came over again.
"Xiao Heng, haven't you been sending me messages these days to ask me about the news of Qingxue? Come to the cabin and I will talk to you."
Hearing this, Zhao Heng's eyes condensed and he nodded seriously.
Qi Hongyuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask, "Master, since this is about my junior sister, should I come too?"
Mu Xuan waved her hand and said, "No, this has nothing to do with you."
Qi Hongyuan: "..."
The wind outside the cabin was very strong, and it started to rain at some point, coldly hitting Qi Hongyuan's face.
...
In the cabin, Zhao Heng and Mu Xuan sat opposite each other on the futon, and Mu Xuan said with a complicated expression.
"You kid, you and Emperor Shengyuan... What's going on with you?"
Zhao Heng was embarrassed, "Master, this is a long story, and there are many surprises."
Mu Xuan waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want to ask more about your young people's affairs, at least you still care about Qingxue."
When he heard Mu Xuan mention his senior sister Yun Qingxue, Zhao Heng became nervous again.
"Master, do you have any news about my senior sister?"
Since returning to the South Region, Zhao Heng has been searching for Yun Qingxue's whereabouts. Especially when he learned that the Yun family suddenly disappeared on the mainland, Zhao Heng became even more worried.
He secretly used the intelligence network of the Sun and Moon Sect and the Wood God Department to search for her, but to no avail.
He sent a message to Master Mu Xuan, thinking that the Yuhua Sect had a close relationship with the Yun family, and that the senior sister and the master had a deep relationship, so the two might still be in contact.
However, to Zhao Heng's disappointment, Mu Xuan also shook her head helplessly.
"Alas... I don't have any news about Qingxue either.
In the previous battles between good and evil, my Yuhua Sect and the Yun Family had cooperated a lot. I, the master, had met Qingxue several times and even fought side by side.
About a year ago, Qingxue broke through the Guiyuan Realm and became the new head of the Yun Family. She also took the initiative to contact me.
But strangely, since then, the Yun Family has suddenly disappeared without any news.
I, the master, was worried about Qingxue's safety and went to the Yun Family's residence in person. There was no one there, and there was no trace left."
Hearing this, Zhao Heng became more and more worried, and even worried that the Yun Family had been purged by a powerful person?
Just when Zhao Heng's heart was sinking.
Mu Xuan gave another important news.
"However, one month before the Yun family disappeared, I received a message from Qingxue.
She revealed that Yun Hong, the elder of the Yun family, was secretly in contact with the Demonic Alliance and the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and seemed to have the intention of rebellion.
She is collecting evidence and plans to cooperate with our sect to eliminate the traitors."
"Oh...?"
Hearing this, Zhao Heng's eyes narrowed slightly.
He remembered that when Yun Qingxue and Wang Yanwu were engaged, it seemed that it was this elder of the Yun family who tried his best to match them up. It was not surprising that this person had the intention of surrendering to the enemy.
"Master, do you mean that the disappearance of the Yun family may be related to the internal struggle of the family?"
Mu Xuan nodded and said: "No matter how fiercely the Yun family fights, they are still a family after all. They will not fight to the death at all costs.
Even if the Yun family's elder has great power, in addition to Qingxue, the Yun family's patriarch has also recovered his cultivation. It is extremely difficult for this person to cover the sky with one hand.
At most, some method was used to temporarily control the Yun family and cut off contact with the outside world.
After all, Qingxue's soul card is still in Yuhua Sect, indicating that her life is not in danger."
Speaking of this, Mu Xuan still showed a worried look.
"What I am worried about is that the elder of the Yun family will secretly cooperate with the Demonic Path or the Sanxiu Alliance to help him control the Yun family and secretly take Qingxue away.
In the Demonic Path and Sanxiu world, we, the righteous path, do not have many information channels, and it is difficult to explore."
Hearing this, Zhao Heng remained calm on the surface, but he was secretly concerned in his heart.
The fact that Master and Yuhua Sect have no information channels does not mean that he has none.
Now Zhao Heng is not only the leader of the loose cultivator alliance, the king of the wood god department, but also the leader of the magic sect, the only sect leader who is not bound by the four sects of the magic sect.
Whether it is the magic sect or the loose cultivator world, Zhao Heng has already held a high position and can obtain core intelligence.
If the elder of the Yun family really controls the Yun family, his purpose is really to join the magic sect or the loose cultivator world, and he will definitely not be able to avoid his ears and eyes.
Thinking of all this, although Zhao Heng is still worried, he finally confirmed that Yun Qingxue is not in danger of life, and has more confidence and direction to find the other party.
The master and the apprentice exchanged some information and the situation of the righteous path, and the ship has arrived at the Yuhua Sect’s residence.
When Zhao Heng came to the deck of the ship and looked at the scene in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel a little dazed...
