Even so, Kou Lingxu nodded in agreement. However, there was no way he would allow Miao Yi to fool him like this. He turned to Kou Zheng and said, "Go to the Phantom City yourself. Find him and ask him face to face. You must make him tell you the truth."
"Yes!" Kou Zheng cupped his fists and left.
After leaving the restricted area of the inner garden, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he waited in a pavilion not far from Yun Xuan.
After waiting for a while, Sui Chuchu and Yun Zhiqiu walked out of the Cloud Pavilion, laughing and chatting. Yun Zhiqiu had clearly gone to see the guests off.
The two of them parted ways. Sui Chuchu was on her way back when she was stopped by someone and invited into the pavilion.
As soon as the husband and wife saw each other, Kou Zheng immediately asked, "Do you notice anything different about Lao Qi?"
Sui Chuchu was still unaware that something had happened to her son. There were many things that the Kou family kept from women. She had only come to test Yun Zhiqiu after receiving Kou Zheng's message. Shaking his head, he frowned and said, "It's very normal. It's no different from usual. He even gave me a new set of jewelry. What's wrong? Is there a problem with Old Seven? "
"It's nothing. I have something to attend to, so I won't be able to accompany you." Kou Zheng smiled and brushed it off, still hiding the matter of his son.
Sui Chuchu also took her leave. She couldn't interfere with the Kou family's business.
After he left, Kou Zheng stared at Yun Xuan for a while and said word by word, "From now on, anyone leaving Yun Xuan must be reported to Steward Tang. Keep a close eye on him!"
"Yes!" The attendant behind him acknowledged.
In the pavilion of King Haotian's residence, Hao Defang stood alone with a solemn expression.
Su Yun was giving urgent instructions to the people downstairs. She came up after a while and walked behind Hao Defang to report, "The Xiahou family doesn't know either, but the hunters have rushed to the scene to investigate."
Pa! Hao Defang slapped the railing and said stiffly, "I don't believe that there aren't any witnesses around the scene. Send someone to look for them."
Su Yun: "It's been arranged."
Hao Defang: "What does Killing Luo Sect mean by attacking the Ying family? What I want to know now is whether Niu Youde and the Killing Luo Sect have any relationship? If there was, why were they wrapped up together? What a mess. What the hell is going on? "There was a hint of anger in his words. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with this matter. If it wasn't for Su Yun, he would have directly questioned her on how she had handled the matter.
Su Yun could understand his feelings. The Buddha Realm was involved. However, he couldn't figure out what was going on. This was really not good. She tried her best to speak in a gentle voice: "I've already sent someone to investigate, do you want to directly contact Luocha Sect to ask?"
Hao Defang seemed to realize that she had lost her composure. She turned around and softened her tone. "We don't even know what's going on right now, so what are you asking? He asked why the Killing Rakshasa Sect was fighting with the Ying Family. Or do you want to tell people how we joined hands with the Ying Family to fight against the Killing Luo Sect? What's more, if we want to denounce them, we'll have to do it together. It's not appropriate for our Hao Family to take the lead and scout the way before we've discussed it properly! "
In the Residence of King Guang, in the elegant forest, the Duke of Guang Ling had temporarily cast Consort Mei Niang aside and was talking to Gou Yue and the rest with an unfriendly expression.
Mei Niang, who was standing not far away, vaguely heard some of the general situation when she was avoiding them. As for what to do next, the Duke of Guang Ling told her to avoid it.
However, what she heard before was enough for Mei Niang to gloat. She roughly understood the meaning. The people who went to hunt messed up and couldn't be contacted now. Even Guang Sheng's current whereabouts were unknown, so it was most likely that he was in trouble.
She didn't have the right to intervene in what a group of men were discussing. She gently swept her sleeves and strolled with her long skirt. Her figure was graceful and charming, and she stood on the mountainside to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the distance. She had a leisurely look on her face, but she was sneering in her heart. She had long found Guang Sheng an eyesore. He simply didn't put the mother and daughter in his eyes at all. Although his words and actions didn't have any malicious intentions on the surface, the disdain for the mother and daughter from time to time was really not concealed at all.
If that branch really inherited the power of the Guang Family, she really didn't know what would happen to them in the future. Just thinking about it made her feel uneasy.
Now, they might even lose their lives! Mei Niang raised her head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. The corner of her mouth curved into a smile. Today's weather is really good!
In the main hall of the backyard of King Ying Tian's Mansion, Ying Wuman looked at Ying Jiuguang, who had a sullen face, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back.
At the bottom of the stairs outside the hall, Zuo 'er quickly returned to the hall after talking with a group of people for a while. She reported, "Your Highness, the Xiahou Family also doesn't know the situation. Their hunting team has already arrived at the scene to investigate. Our people will also rush over as soon as possible."
Ying Jiuguang stopped and looked at her with a sharp gaze. "You still can't contact a single person from those families?"
Zuo 'er nodded. "Yes, we don't know where all the people from those families are currently. Only our Young Master Yang can be contacted, but there's still no response."
Ying Wuman was secretly rejoicing in his heart. He interrupted, "Father, in that case, Yang 'er was lucky enough to escape and is still alive. As long as we find Yang' er, we should be able to know the truth of the situation." He hoped to use the great power of the Ying Family to save his son.
"Dodged a calamity my ass! So many experts couldn't escape, and only your son could? " Ying Jiuguang cursed. It was obvious that he was holding back his anger. "I was wondering how Niu Youde could get the people from Killing Luo Sect to help us. I even suspected that it was a misjudgment. Now that Ying Yang was the only one left, the target is too obvious. Isn't it Ying Yang? I'm afraid this matter is related to Niu Youde. If Ying Yang fell into Niu Youde's hands, do you think Niu Youde would let him go?"
Ying Wuman's face was full of murderous intent. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will personally go to the Ghost City to find Niu Youde!"
"Wait!" Zuo 'er stretched out her hand to stop him. She signaled him to calm down and asked, "How could Killing Luo Sect help Niu Youde for Ying Yang? Also, if Niu Youde wanted to kill Ying Yang, why didn't he kill Ying Yang? This is really unreasonable! Don't you think there's something fishy about this matter? "
Ying Wuman was confused. How could he know something that so many people couldn't figure out?
Ying Jiuguang was also confused. He couldn't figure out what was going on no matter how hard he thought about it. What happened in the Quiet Spring Hunt was too strange. He didn't know whether Niu Youde was trapped in the trap he set, but the Ying family itself was trapped. Now, all the marshals and Celestial Lords were waiting for him to explain, but he was confused now. How could he explain it to them?
He really wanted to send people to the Ghost City to arrest Niu Youde. But Killing Luo Sect dared to attack the Ying family in the territory of the Heavenly Court. It happened so suddenly without any warning. It was really unusual. No one could figure out the meaning behind it. Plus, so many people suddenly lost contact, which made it even more unusual. He didn't know if they had the tacit consent of that person from the Heavenly Palace. If so, what did that person from the Heavenly Palace want to do? In this situation where he couldn't make any judgment, he didn't dare to act rashly. Because if he was careless, he might have to confront that person from the Heavenly Palace!
If he was really fighting with that person from the Heavenly Palace, one wrong move could cause the monkeys to scatter when the tree falls. All the glory and splendor would vanish. Compared to this, Ying Yang's life, the lives of those people, and even Niu Youde's life, weren't important.
Not only him, but the other families were also the same. They were pressuring the Kou family, hoping that the Kou family could use their relationship with Niu Youde to see if they could figure out what was going on.
The Kou family naturally sent Kou Zheng to find out the details. This time, Niu Youde had no choice but to tell the truth.
Even so, the four families didn't dare to relax. They had already ordered their subordinates to enter a state of emergency, just in case. For a moment, the whole world was mobilizing troops. A large number of people were gathering or occupying important places nearby, ready to go at any time!
In the main hall of the Jade Buddha Temple in the Western Paradise, a group of Killing Luo Sect's disciples were urgently contacting the outside world with the star bell.
Dressed as white as snow, the jade-faced Buddha Yu Luocha, who was as pure as a young girl, stood in front of the disciples. Her face was as dark as water, and she didn't say a word.
She had already received the report of what happened in the fifth level of the Nether Spring. She knew that they were attacked by the Ying family, and then by the combined forces of the Four Heavenly Kings. She was planning to make things difficult for the Heavenly Court, but who would have thought that she would suddenly lose contact with Xue Yu and the others. It was cut off so suddenly that she was caught unprepared.
She estimated that her troops had already been completely annihilated, so she was prepared to argue with the Heavenly Court.
After the disciples stopped contacting the star bell, Yu Luocha asked indifferently, "Still can't get in touch with anyone?"
The disciples all shook their heads. They were also a little confused, not knowing what had happened.
After a moment of silence, Yu Luocha said, "Xue Yu's disciple, Mei Ji, has brought a disciple of the Colorful Lotus realm to serve by her side. Her name is Cang Hong. Ask if anyone can get in touch with her."
The disciples didn't know why she would ask about a Colorful Lotus disciple, but they still did as she said, and immediately asked their subordinates with their star bell.
It wasn't hard to find out who had a name. Not long after, a disciple replied, "Jade Buddha, we've already contacted Cang Hong's master. After contacting her master, we found out that Cang Hong has already lost contact with her. We don't know what happened."
"Cut off contact?" Yu Luocha asked in shock.
The disciple didn't know why she had such a big reaction, but nodded and said, "Yes, that's the reply."
Yu Luocha's calm and elegant face twisted slightly. If she remembered correctly, that Cang Hong had already been secretly working as a spy with Niu Youde's trusted subordinates to steal information. This trip to the Nether Spring was Cang Hong who provided the information. Cang Hong didn't even go to the Nether Spring, so how could she also lose contact?
At this moment, she finally understood why Xue Yu and the others were suddenly ambushed. This was a trap! She realized that someone had dug a hole for her to jump into!
"You stay here and keep watch." Yu Luocha pointed at a disciple in front of her, then swept her sleeve and said, "The rest of you, follow me!"
