Sima You Yue felt that Mo Yu always acted like a child with Di Zhe around as he would compare everything.
After getting tortured by Mo Yu, she gave him a hive of scarlet bees to stop him from nagging.
“I can now follow you since you don’t care about this anymore.” Mo Yu continued as she was still unhappy, “Alright, I’ll tell you something to cheer you up, how about that?”
“What kind of information can you get from the Region Ruler’s Manor?” Sima You Yue said, disinterested in what he had to say.
“It’s regarding the whereabouts of Mother’s guards.” Mo Yu said.
“You know about it?”
“Your Cousin got me to tell you, but too many things happened last night that I’d forgotten to tell you. He found out where Leng Feng’s and a few of the guards’ were. Although he couldn’t find out the exact location, they were last seen at Phoenix Ridge Region fifty years ago. That place is near the Abyss of Hell.” Mo Yu said.
“Hmm, near to the Abyss of Hell, seems like they guessed that Mother is at the Abyss of Hell.” Sima You Yue said worriedly, “It will be troublesome if that’s the case….”
She researched about the Abyss of Hell previously. No one would be able to come back alive if they decided to go there. If Leng Feng and the others went to the Abyss of Hell, she wondered if they would come back alive or dead.
With her power, Ghost King wouldn’t allow her to go there, but now she hoped that they didn’t go there either.
“There’s another one.” Mo Yu interrupted her thoughts, “Someone else is finding out about them as well.”
“Someone else is looking into it as well?” She tapped her fingers, who would care about someone who used to be Mother’s guard? Why would they want to find out about him?
“Did you find out who it is?” Wu Lingyu asked.
“No. That person is very secretive, we haven’t managed to find out who’s behind it.” Mo Yu continued, “Do we go there?”
Sima You Yue gave it a thought and said, “Not for now, we don’t know where they are now, even though they were there fifty years ago. We won’t be able to find out anything even if we get there now. We’ll talk about it when Cousin gets more information.”
“Sounds good. Phoenix Ridge Region is very huge as well, it’ll be the same as looking for a needle in a haystack if we go there.” Wu Lingyu responded. “I’m more worried about the other group of them.”
“Di Zhe said that he had already sent someone to investigate and he asked you to wait here as he will update you if there’s anything.” Mo Yu said.
“What about Cousin?”
“He went out of the city. I think he went to check on the mess you created yesterday.”
Although they had captured everyone, it would be better to check through the whole district and he could use this time to check on the Soul Clan that the Xu Yu had sent.
Sima You Yue got happy as she knew what Di Zhe was thinking. This was a good opportunity! He could just use the Enchanted Music Sect as an excuse. Although the Xu Yu members would be alert, they wouldn’t know that he was actually checking on them.
“I’ve had enough rest for today, let’s go for a walk outside the city.” She continued, “We’ve been in Spring Brook Pavilion the whole time and haven’t got a chance to meet the people outside of the city!”
“Your Cousin wants you to wait here. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll get angry if you go outside?”
“He’s not here anyway. I’m only going out to investigate the Enchanted Music Sect.” Sima You Yue said stubbornly.
Mo Yan rolled his eyes, who would believe her!
However, he went with her anyway. He was bored of staying in the Region Ruler’s Manor now that Di Zhe was here. Now that he had taken over the matter, he could be with her again.
Sima You Yue went to Enchanted Music Sect’s usual spot right after she got out of the city, but there was nothing left except debrises. Some of the residents were curious and surprised, as they heard from the guards that the space was constructed by Soul Clan and thanked the duke for protecting their safety.
No one actually knew who was the one who did it.
“Do you feel unjustified?” Mo Yan asked.
“What’s there to feel unjustified about? Cousin made this arrangement to keep me safe.” Sima You Yue didn’t care about these little credits and was touched that Di Zhe had protected her.
She would have had a lot of problems if the Enchanted Music Sect members knew that she eliminated the forces here.
They stayed there for a while and went to the weird village. There, they saw a guard capturing some of the villagers from afar.
Didn’t he say to investigate it in secret, why did he capture those men? Wouldn’t this alert the enemies?
“The men that he captured weren’t only the ones that you suspected, there were some innocent beings as well.” Wu Lingyu continued, “If we mix them up like this, they might suspect something, but they wouldn’t take any action now. We will be rewarded as long as we get something from interrogating someone here.”
“I’m only worried that they wouldn’t give Cousin the time.” Sima You Yue wasn’t optimistic about it.
Those from the Soul Clan were restless these years, they were worried that it might become worse.
Qing Hun, the ruler of Soul Region, and Grandfather’s power were almost the same. If Grandfather could gain more power then both clans, he would be able to settle down. If not, with the ongoing trend, there might be more wars.
She saw these people being captured by Di Zhe and she went back after walking around. That night, she heard that Di Zhe brought some men out to capture others.
On the second day, Di Zhe came over with some information, nine out of ten people that were caught were from Xu Yu, the others who were aware of it had escaped.
However, Di Zhe was still satisfied with the results because they wouldn’t be able to catch anyone in the past as Soul Clan didn’t know how to account for themselves and they were ordered not to leak out any information. Otherwise, they would die. So even if they were caught, they wouldn’t get anything either.
This time with Sima You Yue’s method, they extracted information from their memories directly as it was faster and accurate. Not only did they know about the people here, they even found some leads. They would be able to crush Xu Yu’s plan as long as they followed these leads.
When Xu Yu heard about it, he was so angry that he flattened one of the mountains.
“How dare Di Zhe capture our men!” He stared angrily at the men knelt down before him.
Immortal Hex Region had so many people but only a few came back, not only was the plan interrupted, but it might implicate all the other plans.
One was from the Western Verge Region and the other one from Immortal Hex Region. Both important places fell through, which meant that the problems they were facing right now had a big impact on them!
“Master, this is strange.” The man who knelt on the floor said, “Our men definitely wouldn’t expose anything, but how did Di Zhe know about the rest? They even eliminated the Enchanted Music Sect and our forces.”
“This is indeed strange.” Xu Yu rubbed his chin, “What are your thoughts on this?”
“I saw it by accident that Mo Yan and a few men were at the village in the daytime….”
