The three people helplessly responded with a sound and left the Alliance Hierarch’s room.Upon returning to their residence, Luo Chen plopped down on a chair, letting out a long sigh, “What kind of situation is this? We’ve been busy for so long, but found nothing. The Blood Ghost Sect may be destroyed, but the forces behind it seem to have vanished into thin air.”
He irritably ruffled his hair, feeling like a headless fly.
“Maybe they really have disappeared?” Mo Han tried to comfort, but his tone carried a hint of uncertainty, as he himself felt this possibility was minute.
“Disappeared? That’s not so easy.” Luo Chen sneered and stood up, pacing back and forth in the room, “Unless they really possess some kind of Invisibility Technique.”
Qing Shuang looked at the two, calmly analyzing, “I think they haven’t disappeared, but hidden deeper. Maybe they’re waiting for the right moment, planning a bigger plot.”
Her gaze was sharp, as if it could pierce through all the mist.
“Then what should we do? Just wait around like this?” Luo Chen irritably ruffled his hair, hating this passive feeling.
“We can’t sit idle waiting for death.” Qing Shuang said, walking to the table and picking up a map for careful study, “Since they’ve hidden themselves, we should take the initiative to flush them out.”
“How?” Mo Han asked, knowing Qing Shuang’s plan would surely not be simple.
“We start by looking into the remnants of the Blood Ghost Sect, perhaps we’ll find some Spider Silk traces.” Qing Shuang said, tracing her finger across the map, “And also the Tianyuan Empire, there might be hidden secrets there.”
“Tianyuan Empire?” Luo Chen frowned slightly, “Shouldn’t it have returned to normal by now? If we go again, might it cause unnecessary trouble?” He didn’t want to return to that place full of intrigue.
“Precisely because it’s returned to normal, it’s worth our investigation.” Qing Shuang said, raising her head with a determined look, “If that secret organization is truly hiding something in the Tianyuan Empire, they’ll certainly leave behind some traces.”
“Alright, then let’s go once more.” Luo Chen said reluctantly, though he disliked adventure, he had no choice but to face it to uncover the truth.
“I agree with Qing Shuang’s perspective.” Mo Han said, walking over to the two, with determination in his eyes, “We can’t miss any clues.”
The three discussed and decided to head to the Tianyuan Empire once more.
A few days later, the three arrived at the Tianyuan Empire again.
Currently, the Imperial Palace had restored its usual tranquility, with those once-controlled officials and maids busy at their posts as if nothing had occurred.
“Where should we go first?” Mo Han asked, surveying the surroundings, feeling this eerie calm.
“Let’s first check out the place where we previously found the fake mountain mechanism.” Qing Shuang said, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, “There may be new discoveries there.”
The three came to the abandoned palace and found the fake mountain once more. They carefully inspected it and found it had not changed; the mechanism was still intact, seemingly mocking their helplessness.
“Looks like there’s no new clues here.” Luo Chen said somewhat disappointedly, kicking a stone at his feet to vent his frustrations.
“Not necessarily.” Qing Shuang said, squatting down to carefully observe every detail of the fake mountain, “Let’s search thoroughly again.”
The three conducted a thorough search around the fake mountain again, but still found nothing. A suffocating silence pervaded the air.
“Could it be we’ve really been searching in the wrong direction?” Luo Chen said somewhat disconsolately, feeling like he was fumbling in darkness, unable to find any exits.
“Perhaps we should switch our approach.” Mo Han said, eyeing the surrounding environment, thoughtful, “We’ve always been focusing on traces of the Blood Ghost Sect, but maybe we should start from the Tianyuan Empire’s perspective.”
“From the Tianyuan Empire’s perspective?” Luo Chen was a bit perplexed, not quite understanding Mo Han’s point.
“Exactly.” Mo Han said, moving to a nearby stone pillar, gently caressing the engravings on it, “After all, the Tianyuan Empire is a country, surely it has some secrets unknown to outsiders. Perhaps those secrets relate to the forces behind the Blood Ghost Sect.”
“Makes sense.” Qing Shuang nodded, standing up and scanning the entire abandoned palace, “We should check the archives of the Imperial Palace, there might be some records there.”
The three discussed and decided to sneak into the archives of the Imperial Palace.
The Imperial Palace’s archives were located deep within the palace, heavily guarded. The three spent some effort successfully sneaking in, evading patrol soldiers again and again, moving through the shadows of the palace like ghosts.
The archives were stacked with all sorts of books and scrolls, the air filled with an ancient musty smell, and the three started searching separately.
“I found some records of the Tianyuan Empire’s history.” Luo Chen said, holding a thick book, flipping through it quickly with furrowed brows, “But it doesn’t seem particularly noteworthy.”
“Same here.” Mo Han shook his head, placing down the scroll in his hands, his tone carrying a hint of disappointment, “They’re all unimportant records.”
Qing Shuang was rummaging in the corner, suddenly she picked up an ancient scroll, her expression slightly changing, her breath becoming rapid, as if having discovered something extraordinary.
“Come quickly and look at this.” Qing Shuang said, her tone carrying a hint of excitement, clutching the scroll tightly with fingers trembling slightly.
