No, why do these few auras entering the city feel strangely familiar?!
This can’t be right...
Where did these fellows come from?
Or is this another batch of helpers sent over by that one?
Through their perception, those four were indeed heading this way, hence the speculation.
As for them causing trouble... this thought never crossed their minds.
Cause trouble?
Just these four Mortal Realm Grandmasters?
Not even enough to serve as food!
During this time, they’ve already seen at the Jiang Family that person... a woman suspected to be the Empress, who closely resembles the portrait left in the Nine Nether Realm!
But at present, the Empress seems to be unaware of her own identity?
The two met her once, and she was overly courteous to them. If she were truly the Empress, how could such small fry be treated so politely by her?!
It’s something that feels more like a dream.
But now, although that person hasn’t regained her full self from before, her strength has surpassed the Mortal Realm, dealing with these few people would be a trivial matter.
If they dare cause trouble, they should be prepared for a one-way trip.
With this thought, although there are only two of them here, fewer than the other party, the two Mortal Realm Grandmasters guarding the Jiang Family remain calm, quietly waiting for those four to arrive.
Unexpectedly, when those four reached not far outside the Jiang Family, they suddenly stopped.
Afterwards... they even began observing.
"No way, could it be that they also know the Empress is here, and are outside to observe information about the Empress?"
The Mortal Realm Grandmasters of the Jiang Family were a bit confused.
"It seems possible, otherwise why would they come all the way from the Nine Nether Realm for this? But how did they know she’s here?"
Thinking it over, this was the only conclusion they could reach.
Meanwhile, outside the Jiang Family, the four Mortal Realm Grandmasters stopped in unison.
The leader, a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Eighth Layer, spoke quietly with a somewhat serious expression.
"Do you feel that there’s something unusual inside..."
Logically, in such a small city, given their abilities, everything should go smoothly.
Yet, upon arriving at the Jiang Family, the leading Mortal Realm Eighth Layer faintly sensed a hint of danger, yes, a sense of danger!
Isn’t this surprising?!
Who in such a place could pose such a threat to them?!
The other three, with slightly weaker abilities, also faintly sensed something.
It seems there are powerful cultivators inside as well!
"Should we just find someone in the city, ask if they know Lu Ye from the Jiang Family, then have the painter create a portrait, and take it to report to the Domain Master?" someone proposed.
The Mortal Realm Eighth Layer considered seriously for a second and quickly nodded: "Good! That’s a great idea, let’s go find someone..."
Standing outside the Jiang Family, the Mortal Realm Eighth Layer felt an unsettling sensation, as if they might step into an abyss at any moment.
Better to leave early!
A moment later, the four quickly left the vicinity of the Jiang Family.
Inside the Jiang Family, the two guards were baffled, what was happening?
Why did they run away so quickly?
"These investigators are so careless. Can they really determine if the Empress is here in such a short time??"
"Exactly! If we had been so careless back then, we wouldn’t have been caught by that one!"
"Brother... we got caught asking for directions..."
"Oh, I forgot."
...
In the city, this is the territory of the Jiang Family, and many know the Jiang Family’s son-in-law, having seen him several times.
So, when the four entered the city, they immediately found out by asking around.
Then they hired a painter, who created a portrait based on the description.
When they showed it to the people who had seen the Jiang Family’s son-in-law, they said it was seventy to eighty percent similar.
After handing out some silver, the leading Mortal Realm Eighth Layer waved his hand: "Alright, done, let’s pack up and leave! I don’t want to stay in Cloud Leaf City for another moment."
Now that everything is finished, he doesn’t want to risk encountering something terrifying by staying longer.
Meanwhile.
At the Jiang Family, in the small courtyard where Lu Ye previously resided, Jiang Qingge was presently standing there.
Her cheeks were slightly pale, her eyes vacant, staring at a peach tree in the courtyard, although it wasn’t the season for it to bloom, its branches were bare.
She was in a trance, staring for several minutes before slowly coming back to reality.
"What’s happening to me?"
Just yesterday, Jiang Qingge experienced the reappearance of many scenes in her mind that she had never seen before.
The kind of tragic, fierce scenes made her feel a vague sense of discomfort even just looking at them.
"Could this all be parts of my past experiences?"
Jiang Qingge murmured softly.
Since finding the first source in the Black Forest Swamp, Jiang Qingge had a vague sense...
That she indeed had some problems.
Such memory-like images aren’t the first she’s encountered.
"Could it be that I’m really not myself?"
Uttering this slightly contradictory sentence, Jiang Qingge was momentarily stunned.
"So, he’s never accepted me, even if I approach, he refuses... is it because he’s afraid I’ll change later?"
Previously, Jiang Qingge managed the shop, and wasn’t naive, quickly realizing this aspect.
"Will I really change?"
Recalling those scenes in her mind, Jiang Qingge murmured uncertainly.
On the other side.
Just after finding a city inhabited by the Human Race, Ye Youyu unexpectedly received news from his men...
"What? They just found someone named Lu Ye?"
This speed was clearly unexpected for Ye Youyu.
[Good, where are you? I’m heading over, and you said you have a portrait, let me see it.]
They mentioned they’ve made a copy of the portrait of someone named Lu Ye.
Ye Youyu plans to go over, and if it’s him, he can recognize at a glance!
If it really is...
He must give him a good beating!
Deceiving one’s feelings!
Thinking this, Ye Youyu couldn’t help but grit his teeth slightly, momentarily, the information had been sent, providing Ye Youyu with an address.
[Alright, wait for me there, I’m coming immediately.]
He quickly bought a map in the small city, and soon after, headed to the address they provided.
The speed of a Celestial Being doesn’t need mentioning.
In less than half a cup of tea time, Ye Youyu had arrived there and found them.
"Where is the portrait you copied, let me have a look!"
