Jiang Nannan

In the era of Peerless Tang Sect, Jiang Nannan was probably only outshone by Wang Dong'er and the others.

She could be considered the most beautiful woman besides Wang Dong'er.

The reason so many people disliked her was that she had been involved with Xu Sanshi before and had a bad reputation, so everyone held it against her.

But to Le Zhengyue, he was only six years old this year, while Jiang Nannan was at most around ten. She was nowhere near that point yet.

Although she might seek out Xu Sanshi after her memories awakened, that would happen much later.

And with the ability to erase memories, he could simply take her away beforehand.

The claim that she could only be saved with a Basalt Pill was complete nonsense. The pill's only use was to purge impurities from the body; other than that, it was utterly useless.

Le Zhengyue couldn't imagine how that thing could possibly save a life.

But that didn't matter for now. He would find out when he went to take a look.

With that thought, Le Zhengyue stood up.

He gave it a little thought, and his plans for what came next had already taken shape.

As Le Zhengyue raised his hand, the ring on it glimmered faintly. Less than two minutes later, someone gently knocked on the door.

When Le Zhengyue opened it, the Angel Guard Squad captain stood respectfully at the front of the group outside.

"Send people to investigate the location of the Mysterious Underworld Sect. I want you to find its exact whereabouts within half a day. Then we'll take the mecha to where the sect is."

Le Zhengyue's voice was calm. The Angel Guards below him froze for a moment at his words, then nodded respectfully.

"Yes, young master. We'll investigate the Mysterious Underworld Sect's location right away."

"I think I've heard of the Mysterious Underworld Sect. It shouldn't be very far from here."

The Angel Guard Squad captain spoke calmly.

As for why, despite being in the Star Luo Empire, they—Angel Guards—said the Mysterious Underworld Sect in the Dou Ling Empire was nearby, don't ask.

They didn't need to pass through any checkpoints. They could just fly straight there through the sky.

At present, the major empires had no particularly effective means of dealing with aerial travel.

That was also why the Sun-Moon Federation was able to trade with the major empires. With aerial transport routes, the other empires didn't have many good ways to stop them.

That was why the major empires were so wary of the Sun-Moon Federation.

However, the Sun-Moon Federation was also very wary of Douluo I—the original First Continent. The First Continent of Douluo I was connected to the Third Continent.

So the Southern Legion—in other words, the Yue Family—was actually much stronger than it had been in the original timeline. That was because the Southern Legion faced the First Continent directly across the sea.

But for now, none of this had much to do with Le Zhengyue.

Their side was still quite safe, or rather, there weren't any major problems.

About fifteen minutes later, the Angel Guard Squad captain returned.

He spread out the location they had confirmed, and Le Zhengyue marked it on the map. The two of them studied it for about ten minutes before they had pinpointed the Mysterious Underworld Sect.

"Young master, are we setting out now?"

"Should we leave some people here to watch over Huo Yuhao's mother, Huo Yun'er?"

A trace of hesitation colored the Angel Guard Squad captain's voice, but Le Zhengyue calmly shook his head.

It was enough to know where Huo Yun'er was.

If they posted people nearby, Huo Yuhao would definitely notice after becoming a Soul Spirit with Di Tian. That would only make things worse.

They only needed to know Huo Yun'er's location.

Because these talented people shared a common flaw: they tended to leave their mothers back home. Whenever they had a safe place to leave their families or mothers, they would keep them there instead of taking them along.

Huo Yuhao was bound to go to Shrek Academy in the future, so leaving his mother in Star Luo City was a good choice in terms of safety and everything else.

"Don't leave anyone behind. If you do, Huo Yuhao will definitely notice when he comes back this time. With his own foundation and that cheat of his, you absolutely won't be able to beat him."

Le Zhengyue didn't directly mention Di Tian as a Soul Spirit, but Di Tian had fused with him completely. The power in Huo Yuhao's body was no weak thing—in fact, it was even greater than Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's.

At this stage, Huo Yuhao was practically using a massive cheat.

Even Le Zhengyue didn't dare approach him lightly right now. If he did, he might be killed outright.

So for now, it was enough to know Huo Yun'er's location. There was no need to keep watch over Huo Yuhao's mother, since her only use was as leverage against him.

Hearing Le Zhengyue's words, the Angel Guard Squad captain seemed confused, but he still nodded.

These people were all Yue Family dead soldiers—or, rather, elite guards. They would never disobey Le Zhengyue.

Most of them were collateral relatives of the Yue Family, or children the family had raised from a young age. The Yue Family had trained them into people whose loyalty was absolute.

After hearing Le Zhengyue's orders, they were all packed and ready to leave in less than ten minutes.

The inn here had also been restored to its original condition.

That was Le Zhengyue's demand: he wanted to erase every trace of his presence here, so that no one would realize he had ever come.

After all, this time he had taken not only Gu Yuena, but Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as well. Given Tang Wulin and Huo Yuhao's current strength, they wouldn't notice.

But once the two of them had grown up fully and started looking into this information, many things would be impossible to hide.

So they might as well keep it secret for as long as they could. The more thoroughly they erased the evidence, the fewer clues the others would find.

Once the final preparations were complete, several Purple Mechas quickly took to the sky, while Le Zhengyue and Na'er rode in a Red Mecha.

The Yue Family's two elders each piloted a Red Mecha, and they quickly headed toward the Dou Ling Empire.

To travel from Star Luo City to the Dou Ling Empire, they would actually have to cross the Star Dou Great Forest, and even pass through what had once been Shrek's jurisdiction.

Normally, while Shrek Academy was still there, Le Zhengyue wouldn't have dared. But now, it didn't matter.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and they had crossed the border of the Star Luo Empire and arrived in the Dou Ling Empire.

As one of the Dou Ling Empire's more powerful sects, the Mysterious Underworld Sect was easy enough to locate.

After confirming its location, several mechas headed toward Mysterious Heaven City.

At that moment, rows of little houses stood in the slums of Mysterious Heaven City.

Inside one of them stood a girl of eleven or twelve.

Her father had died long ago, and she and her mother depended on each other.

The place they were in was the house where the two of them lived. It was an ordinary home for commoners, with a total area of only about thirty square meters.

In this backward, even somewhat dilapidated setting, the girl sat quietly, cleaning the house.

After finishing the last bit of cleaning, she sat down gently on a chair and gazed at the blue sky, a complicated look in her eyes.
