After the guard left, Ji Fang thought to himself.
Jiu Sheng didn't look right. After her memory was sealed by him, she shouldn't remember anything from the past.
She was like a walking corpse, with only one thought in her mind, and that was to be loyal to the Zao State and Emperor Zao.
However, today's Hu Jiusheng was a little different. For the first time, there were emotional fluctuations in her eyes.
Ji Fang was afraid to see Hu Jiusheng like this.
The only people who could make her feel this way were her closest relatives.
But her adoptive parents had died many years ago. Her husband, Yun Canghai, had been poisoned by the Beast Poison. He should have died a long time ago. As for the baby that Hu Jiusheng had risked her life to give birth to …
According to a summoner who had escaped from Yun Canghai's subordinates, the baby was smashed to death right after it was born.
So, the only person who could make Hu Jiusheng feel this way was Yun Canghai.
"Yun Canghai, you're still alive after being hit by the Zao State's Beast Blood Curse. But this time, you won't be able to escape." No one knew what had happened to Hu Jiusheng.
Ji Fang believed that even if Yun Canghai was standing in front of her, she wouldn't be able to recognize him.
Even if she was his disciple, even if he was a few decades older than her, this didn't stop Ji Fang from admiring Hu Jiusheng.
He liked this disciple the most and trained her with all his heart. But he didn't expect that Hu Jiusheng would leave the Zao State in the end.
Ji Fang really wanted to marry Hu Jiusheng, but her identity and bloodline, as well as the fact that they used to be master and disciple, became his biggest shackles. The stubborn old summoners of the Zao State and the mysterious Eight Barren God Summoners would definitely stop him.
Helpless, Ji Fang could only accept Hu Jiusheng as the main summoner and make her wear a mask.
The news about Yun Canghai soon arrived.
Ever since Yun Canghai was poisoned by the Beast Blood Poison, he had disappeared from the world.
He used to be the most outstanding magician among the young and middle-aged people in Zhou State. But because of Hu Jiusheng, he fell before he could truly rise.
Although the Zao State was only located in Penglai, it had spies all over the continent.
However, there was no news about Yun Canghai, like a stone thrown into the sea, there was no news at all.
This was a first for the Zao State.
Naturally, the Pope did not know that after Yun Canghai was poisoned, he had been hiding in Jiaoye Village. The Zao State's claws could not penetrate that small village.
Later, when Yun Canghai returned to Yujing City, it was the six-year-old Yun Sheng who brought him back.
The people of the Zao State had always thought that Hu Jiusheng and Yun Canghai's child had fallen to his death. They did not focus their investigation on a six-year-old child.
Unable to find any news about Yun Canghai, the people of the Zao State could only focus their attention on the Residence of Yun.
The results of the investigation shocked Pope Ji Fang.
The Yun Manor has gained another Martial Saint. The most surprising thing was that this had happened in the short span of three years.
The Warrior Saint, Yun Canglang, had just broken through not long ago. It was too much of a coincidence that a new Warrior Saint had appeared in Zhou State.
Moreover, they had all broken through under the most impossible circumstances.
The investigation came to a halt in the end.
Yun Canglang had joined the Hunter's Union. When the Hunter's Union found out that the Zao State was investigating their hunters, they intervened.
Because of this, all the clues seemed to have been cut off.
"It seems that none of these people could have appeared in the Immortal Residence to meet Hu Jiusheng. Then why did something happen to Jiusheng?" Ji Fang did not understand.
"Reporting to Your Holiness, the investigation of the Immortal Residence Nation has been completed. When the Lord Summoner was in the Immortal Residence Nation, she was imprisoned in the women's prison. However, most of the people in the same cell as her were killed when the Blood Dragon woke up. However, this subordinate heard that a wanted criminal named Ye Xia had already escaped. I heard that she is now hiding in the Grand Emperor City. "This was all the information the people of the Zao State could find out.
"Send someone to the Grand Emperor City … No, I will go personally." Ji Fang's figure flashed and disappeared.
The guard of the Zao State was still a little stunned. The Emperor Zao had actually come personally. Who was this Ye Xia?
After Ye Xia escaped from the Icefall City, she was brought back to the Grand Emperor City by Xuan Meimei's recommendation.
Xuan Meimei originally wanted to secretly dispose of her, but the mayor of the Grand Emperor City thought that Ye Xia's cultivation was not ordinary and that she was a person worth nurturing. Therefore, Ye Xia remained in the Grand Emperor City.
Ye Xia was doing quite well in the Grand Emperor City.
Today, she had just returned to her residence.
Suddenly, she felt a terrifying pressure in the room.
"Who is it!" Ye Xia thought it was her enemy. However, who among her enemies would have the guts to barge into the Grand Emperor City?
A man in red appeared in front of Ye Xia.
He did not want Hu Jiusheng's matter to be exposed. It was better for him to go alone.
Ye Xia was shocked when she saw the appearance of the person. The man was dressed in red, similar to the costume of the masked female prisoner.
She then looked at the crown on his forehead and the noble aura around him.
To be able to enter the Grand Emperor City without anyone knowing and to be dressed in a red imperial robe, this person's identity was self-evident.
"Your Holiness, you are The Emperor Zao of the Zao State." Ye Xia did not even have the slightest thought of resistance in the face of such a strong person.
She hurriedly knelt down. She did not know why The Emperor Zao, with such a noble status, would come in person.
Could it be because of the masked female prisoner?
Ye Xia broke out in cold sweat. Such an important person only needed a moment to kill her.
"You are Ye Xia. Let me ask you, when you were in the ice prison, did you see the masked female prisoner?" Ji Fang did not even bother to look at Ye Xia. He was arrogant by nature and was Emperor Zao. Among the people around him, except for Hu Jiusheng, he had never deliberately tried to curry favor with anyone.
"Your Holiness, yes. You are talking about the Zao State's Lord Summoner. I was blind at that time and offended the Lord Summoner. Please spare my life, Your Holiness." Ye Xia nodded her head vigorously, afraid of offending The Emperor Zao.
"When she was imprisoned, did she come into contact with anyone?"
"The Lord Summoner has always been a quiet person and rarely interacted with others. However … about a month before the Lord Summoner left, a young girl came. She once saved the Lord Summoner who was seriously injured. Since then, the Lord Summoner had a good relationship with her. "Ye Xia eagerly told Ji Fang everything she knew.
"A young girl? You said that the two of them had a good relationship. How good is that? "Ji Fang knew that Hu Jiusheng would not be close to anyone.
