There was good news in the Flame Dragon Continent!
The entire Flame Dragon Continent had been immersed in joy for more than a year, just like when the Divine Master had killed a god. The entire continent had been in jubilation.
This was because news had come from the sacred land of the continent, Cang City. The Empress was pregnant!
Ye Qinghan had been conferred the title of Frost Monarch. His deeds had been deliberately spread by the martial practitioners of the continent. He had become the only god in the hearts of billions of people on the continent. Not long after Frost Monarch had returned from the Divine Realm, news of Empress Ye Qingwu's pregnancy had spread. The Empress's pregnancy was a joyous occasion for the entire continent. Countless people offered incense and prayed for their blessings every day. They prayed for Empress to give birth to a child so that Frost Monarch could have a descendant.
The entire Cang City had become busy because of Ye Qingwu's pregnancy. Dozens of maids had moved into the Chilling Heart Pavilion to take care of Ye Qingwu.
Ye Qingwu had been pregnant for almost two years. The pregnancy cycle in the Flame Dragon Continent was usually one year. However, if the mother was a powerful martial practitioner, she could control the cycle and let the baby stay longer in the mother's womb. The longer the baby stayed in the mother's body and received the nourishment of the mother's spiritual energy every day, the stronger and healthier the baby would be after birth. Their cultivation speed would also be faster.
Ye Qingwu had already reached the third tier of the Martial Saint realm. She was naturally a powerful martial practitioner. With her powerful cultivation, she had delayed the pregnancy cycle by one year. Half a month ago, she had finally given birth to a child.
The news that Frost Monarch had a descendant spread throughout the continent in just one day. The continent was in jubilation, and the entire Cang City was drowned in a sea of joy.
Chilling Heart Pavilion! Second floor!
Ye Qingwu was lying on a large bed. Her face was serene. She hadn't become extremely weak after giving birth. Yue Qingcheng sat on the bedside and softly spoke to her. Ye Qingyu, on the other hand, was teasing the little fellow that had just been born.
Little Ye Qinghan had been in his mother's womb for two years. He was born strong and full of spirit. Now, it was only half a month. His pure black eyes seemed to be able to speak. From time to time, he glanced at the three of them. He looked strong and cute.
The three of them had very warm and peaceful expressions on their faces. As they chatted, they laughed incessantly. However, there was a hidden gloominess in the depths of their eyes.
It had been fifteen days since the little fellow was born. The moment he was born, Yue Qingcheng entered the Unfettered Pavilion and reported the news to Elder Lu. She wanted to pass on the message to Ye Qinghan and ask him to come back.
However, fifteen days had passed, but there was still no news, not even a word. The three of them couldn't help but feel a little sad. If Ye Qinghan heard about this, he would definitely think of a way to come back. Even if he couldn't see his son, he would come back to see Ye Qingwu …
When they thought about the arrangements that Ye Qinghan had made when he came back, the three of them had a bad feeling.
When Ye Qinghan was one month old, Ye Qingwu couldn't bear it anymore. She entered the Unfettered Pavilion with Yue Qingcheng and Ye Qingyu.
"You don't have to worry. I have already sent a message to Little Han. Maybe it's not convenient for him to send a message or come back. You know that there are many experts in the Immortal World. If he opens the doors of the Unfettered Pavilion, he will be easily exposed! It will be troublesome if he is spied on! "
Apart from the Chilling Heart Pavilion, Elder Lu spent the rest of his time cultivating in the Unfettered Pavilion. When he saw the three of them coming together, he obviously knew what they were thinking. He smiled and tried to persuade them.
"Alright! Elder Lu, if you have any news, please pass on the message to us immediately! " Ye Qingwu knew that Elder Lu was telling the truth. She exchanged a look with the other two and smiled bitterly. Then, she teleported away under Elder Lu's calm and gentle gaze.
However!
As soon as the three of them left, Elder Lu's calm and gentle gaze suddenly turned cold. His face, which was originally smiling, instantly became incomparably pale. He had lied to the three of them. He didn't send a message to Ye Qinghan. It wasn't because he didn't want to. It was because … his divine sense couldn't sense Ye Qinghan's situation. He couldn't contact Ye Qinghan.
He had never encountered such a situation before! He was terrified and worried.
He was the guardian of the Unfettered Pavilion. He was very familiar with the Unfettered Pavilion, even in a place where space was extremely unstable like the Murderous Stream. At the same time, his Divine Sense could spread out from the Carefree Ring through the connection between the Carefree Pavilion and the Carefree Ring. Thus, he could easily sense Ye Qinghan's existence and transmit his Divine Sense to him.
However!
His divine sense couldn't pass through the Unfettered Pavilion and sense the Unfettered Ring!
The Unfettered Pavilion was a parallel space. A parallel space was actually a small space within space. It was connected to space everywhere. That was why powerful cultivators could use the transportation door to lock onto this parallel space and refine it. This was why Elder Lu had instructed Ye Qinghan not to open the transportation door to the Unfettered Pavilion in front of powerful cultivators.
However, the connection between the Unfettered Pavilion and the Unfettered Ring had been severed. This situation terrified Elder Lu. This meant that either the Unfettered Ring had been destroyed by force, or the Unfettered Ring was in a special space that had been cut off from the Unfettered Pavilion.
No matter which answer it was, something had happened to Ye Qinghan! If the Unfettered Ring had been destroyed, then Ye Qinghan was definitely dead. The other possibility was that Ye Qinghan was in a special space. However, Elder Lu hadn't heard of any place that could be cut off from a parallel space. Even if there was, it would be an extremely dangerous place.
Elder Lu tried to sense the location of the Unfettered Ring through the Unfettered Pavilion again. However, he couldn't sense it even after a long time. After staying in the training room for half a day, he couldn't sit still anymore. In a flash, he left the Unfettered Pavilion and appeared on the rooftop of the Chilling Heart Pavilion.
As soon as he appeared, Elder Lu teleported away. After a few teleportations, he arrived at the castle in the Dark Forest.
Lord Devour had gone to the Divine World. However, Elder Lu deduced that since she had promised Ye Qinghan to protect the Flame Dragon Continent for a thousand years, she would definitely keep her promise. As such, she would definitely leave a spy in the Dark Castle who would be able to transmit information about the Flame Dragon Continent to her at any time.
The entire Dark Castle was quiet. There wasn't a single person in sight. Only a snow-white rabbit was dozing off under the grape trellis on the rooftop.
Elder Lu knew that this rabbit, which seemed to be only at the Martial Sage level, definitely had a way to contact Lord Devour. Therefore, he teleported to the rooftop of the castle and cupped his hands in greeting to the rabbit. Then, he quickly transmitted his voice, "Lu Xi pays his respects to Lord Devour!"
"What's the matter?"
Indeed! The rabbit opened its eyes and glanced at Elder Lu. However, it didn't attack. Instead, it opened its mouth and spoke calmly.
"Please send a message to Lord Devour. I can't sense anything from the Unfettered Ring. I think something bad has happened to Little Han!" Elder Lu didn't waste any time and told the rabbit his deduction.
"She already knows about it and is dealing with it now."
A trace of helplessness flashed in the rabbit's eyes. Then, she looked to the south and said, "Don't let those girls know about this. I will inform you if there is any news!"
Elder Lu's heart sank. Indeed, his deduction was right. Something bad had happened to Ye Qinghan. However, from the rabbit's words, it seemed that Lord Devour already knew about it. Moreover, he had sent a message to her so quickly? What was the relationship between this rabbit and Lord Devour? However, Elder Lu didn't dare to ask. He bowed to the rabbit respectfully and left with teleportation.
Since Lord Devour already knew about it, with her formidable strength, she should be able to deal with it easily. Elder Lu thought.
