The human continent, Hua Country.
Wu Sheng felt Ying Yang's aura, and it came from the direction of the palace. Was their guess right? Ying Yang was sealed in the palace of Hua Country?
Ye Zhen also wanted to know if Ying Yang was really in the underground palace, so she wanted to go to the palace with Wu Sheng first.
"Father, I will go to the palace to see the emperor first." Ye Zhen whispered to Ye Yiqing, "In the future, I will need Qi Yu's help in China. I have to go to the palace to greet him first."
"I will accompany you to the palace." Ye Yiqing said.
Ye Zhen smiled. "No, Father, this is not my first time in China. You accompany An Ge home first. I will be back soon."
Knowing what Ye Zhen was going to do, An Ge said to Ye Yiqing, "Let Yao Yao go. There are so many of us, we can't all go to the palace."
Ye Yiqing knew that his daughter had important things to do in China this time, so he listened to her.
"I will go to the palace with Wu Sheng first." Ye Zhen glanced at the others. "You go back to the Ye family to rest first."
"Yao Yao, I will go to the palace with you." Huang Fuchen whispered, "I haven't seen Qi Yu and Mengxi for a long time."
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Good."
So, the group parted ways. Ye Yiqing and An Ge returned to the Ye family first, while the others entered the palace.
Huang Fuchen and Qi Yu were cousins, but their surnames were different.
Many years ago, Ye Zhen came to China and treated the empress Shen Mengxi. She also adopted Ming Xi and Ming Yu as her adopted children.
Qi Yu was very surprised to hear that Ye Zhen and Huang Fuchen asked to see him. He knew that Huang Fuchen was in China, but he knew that Huang Fuchen would not leave his place of seclusion if there was nothing special.
"Is it really Ye Zhen?" Shen Mengxi asked in surprise. "I thought the chance of seeing her again was slim."
Qi Yu and Shen Mengxi met Ye Zhen together.
After many years, Qi Yu and Shen Mengxi already had a son and a daughter. For Shen Mengxi, who almost lost her life, Ye Zhen was like a lifesaver.
Ye Zhen wanted to find Ying Yang. After entering the palace, she looked at Wolong Sheng. The blood demons had their own unique aura, which could only be sensed by blood demons.
"Big Brother Woo Sheng, it seems like …" Fanfan glanced at Woo Sheng. When they were at the city gate just now, they had clearly sensed Ying Yang's aura, but now, it was gone.
"He's gone?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Wu Sheng nodded gently and looked at Ah Bu, who was standing beside Huang Fuchen. He knew that Ah Bu must know where Ying Yang was. If Ying Yang was really in the Hua Nation, he must not have met Ah Bu.
Ye Rou understood what Wu Sheng was trying to say. Perhaps the peace in China had something to do with Unyielding.
But she did not say anything. It was useless even if she forced Ah Bu to speak.
"Bu …" Huangfu Chen spoke in a low voice.
"I don't know anything." Before Huang Fuchen could ask her, Ah Bu had already rejected him.
She was obviously angry, but her voice was beautiful and melodious, making people want to listen to her speak more.
Huangfu Chen frowned. He was angry that Ah Bu hid too many things from him, but he did not really want to blame her. After all, they had been together for so long, and he could be said to be a brother and a father to her. But now, he did not know what to say to her.
"Master, let's go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity first." Since Ying Yang's aura had disappeared, he certainly did not want to see them. However, as long as he was in the Hua Nation, they would find him.
"There is no underground palace." Wolong Sheng whispered to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with surprise. "What?"
"This palace is newly built, and there is no underground palace below." Wolong Sheng said that if there was an underground palace, there must be a formation like theirs, but there was no such formation here.
In that case, Ying Yang was not sealed in the underground palace.
Ye Zhen thought of the Undersea Palace that was blocked.
In any case, now that they had entered the palace, they should meet Qi Yu and the others first. If they wanted to walk in the Hua Nation and go to the underwater palace, they must get Qi Yu's consent. It would be more convenient to greet them first.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Qi Yu and Shen Mengxi were already waiting for them.
The moment they saw Ye Zhen appear, their eyes flashed with surprise, as if they were seeing the young woman from ten years ago. She had hardly changed, unlike them. No matter how well they maintained themselves, time still left traces on their bodies.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, Empress." Ye Zhen bowed and looked at Qi Yu and Shen Mengxi with shining eyes.
She had lived in the palace for a period of time to treat Shen Mengxi's illness. The two were like sisters. They had not seen each other for many years and missed each other.
"Don't be so polite." Qi Yu said, "We are not strangers. Don't be so polite."
Shen Mengxi took the initiative to step forward and hold Ye Zhen's hand. "I've been looking forward to seeing you again. It's been so many years. I thought you would never come again."
"How could that be? I've been thinking about coming to China every day. It's great here." Ye Zhen said with a smile. "Sister is still as elegant as ever."
"Don't say that. You really haven't changed at all." Shen Mengxi said.
After a while of greeting, Qi Yu talked about the recent changes in China.
"Four to five years ago, the sea around China began to recede. At first, no one paid much attention to it. Later on, they realized that our country's territory was expanding. Four years ago, there was an earthquake in China. However, it didn't affect much back then, so the citizens didn't take it to heart. It was the tsunami two years ago that engulfed Elephant Kingdom and other small countries … Some strange buildings appeared in China. I believe they were left behind by the islanders a long time ago," Qi Yu said.
Ye Zhen glanced at Abdo from the corner of her eyes. She always felt that the reason why China could be so peaceful had a lot to do with him.
"Your Majesty, there are constant disasters in the Central Plains, especially the sudden appearance of the demon beasts …" Ye Zhen briefly explained the existence of the demon beasts. "We are looking for the demon flag, hoping to control the demon beasts from harming the people."
Qi Yu and Shen Mengxi looked at each other. This was the first time they had heard of the existence of demon beasts.
"Your Majesty, has there ever been an underground palace in the palace?" Ye Zhen asked. Although Wu Sheng said it was unlikely that there was an underground palace, she still had to ask.
"When our ancestors built the palace here, they found an underground palace." Qi Yu said, "But after many years of neglect, it is now dilapidated."
Ye Zhen stood up abruptly. "Is there really an underground palace?"
Wu Sheng's eyes flashed with suspicion. How could it be possible? If there was an underground palace, he should be able to sense it.
"Yes. At that time, my ancestors also left a decree that our descendants should preserve the underground palace as much as possible and not let people go in and make trouble." Qi Yu said, "If you are interested, I can let someone take you to see it."
"I am interested!" Ye Zhen said immediately.
