In the era of Peerless Tang Sect, Jiang Nannan's beauty was likely second only to the likes of Wang Dong'er.

She could be considered the most attractive female aside from Wang Dong'er.

The reason she was not well-liked by many was due to her past entanglement with Xu Sanshi; lacking a pristine reputation, she was held in low regard by the masses.

However, for Le Zhengyue, who was only six years old this year, Jiang Nannan was at most in her early teens, far from reaching that point in her life.

While she might eventually seek out Xu Sanshi due to the awakening of her memories, that was a matter for the future.

With the ability to erase memories at his disposal, he could easily spirit her away ahead of time.

The notion that she could only be saved by a Basalt Pill was utter nonsense; the only use of a Basalt Pill was to purge impurities from the body, and beyond that, it was completely useless.

Le Zhengyue couldn't even fathom how that thing could be life-saving.

But that was unimportant for now; he would see for himself when the time came.

Thinking of this, Le Zhengyue stood up.

After a brief moment of contemplation, his subsequent plan had already taken shape.

As Le Zhengyue raised his hand, the ring on his finger flickered slightly, and within two minutes, the door was gently knocked upon.

As Le Zhengyue opened the door, the captain of the Angel Guard standing outside waited respectfully.

"Send people to investigate the location of the Mysterious Underworld Sect now. I want you to find the exact coordinates within half a day, and then we will take a mecha to the Mysterious Underworld Sect."

Le Zhengyue's voice was calm, and upon hearing his words, the Angel Guard below froze for a moment before nodding respectfully.

"Understood, Young Master. We will go and inquire about the location of the Mysterious Underworld Sect immediately."

"I seem to have heard of the Mysterious Underworld Sect; it shouldn't be too far from here."

The captain of the Angel Guard spoke in a calm tone.

As for why they, as Angel Guards stationed in Star Luo Empire, claimed to be close to the Mysterious Underworld Sect in Douling Empire, do not ask.

They did not need to pass through checkpoints; they could simply fly across the sky.

Currently, the major empires had no effective countermeasures against aerial capabilities.

This was also the reason why the Sun-Moon Federation engaged in trade with the major empires; as long as they utilized aerial transport corridors, the other empires had no real way to stop them.

Thus, the major empires were quite wary of the Sun-Moon Federation.

However, the Sun-Moon Federation was also deeply wary of Douluo Continent—the original first continent—and since the first Douluo Continent and the third Douluo Continent were connected, the situation was complex.

Therefore, the Southern Legion, which belonged to his Yue Family, was actually much stronger than in the original timeline, precisely because the Southern Legion faced the first continent directly across the sea.

But these matters had little to do with Le Zhengyue for the time being.

Because they were currently very safe here, or rather, there were no major issues.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the Angel Guard captain returned.

He laid out the confirmed location, and Le Zhengyue marked it on the map. After studying it for about ten minutes, they had pinpointed the location of the Mysterious Underworld Sect.

"Young Master, shall we depart now?"

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

There was a hint of hesitation in the captain's tone, but Le Zhengyue shook his head calmly.

It was enough that he knew the location.

If he really stationed people nearby, with Di Tian as a soul spirit, Huo Yuhao would definitely notice, which would be counterproductive.

Knowing Huo Yun'er's location was sufficient.

Because these geniuses almost shared a common flaw: they were accustomed to leaving their mothers in their hometowns or in a stable environment rather than taking them along.

Huo Yuhao would inevitably go to Shrek Academy in the future, so leaving his mother in Star Luo City was a good choice in terms of safety and other factors.

"Do not leave anyone. If you leave people behind, Huo Yuhao will certainly discover them upon his return. Given his potential and his 'cheat,' you would absolutely be unable to defeat him."

Le Zhengyue did not explicitly mention the soul spirit Di Tian, but Di Tian was a fully integrated soul spirit; the power within him was not weak, even stronger than the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

At this stage, Huo Yuhao was essentially running a massive cheat.

Even Le Zhengyue dared not approach him lightly, for even he might be killed instantly if he got too close.

Therefore, knowing Huo Yun'er's location was enough; there was no need to monitor Huo Yuhao's mother, as her only use was to serve as leverage against Huo Yuhao.

Hearing Le Zhengyue's words, the captain didn't fully understand, but he nodded nonetheless.

These men were all loyalists of the Yue Family, or rather, top-tier guards who would never disobey Le Zhengyue's orders.

Most of them were collateral descendants of the Yue Family, or even children raised by the family from a young age; the people cultivated this way held absolute loyalty to the Yue Family.

So, upon hearing Le Zhengyue's words, they were packed and ready to depart in less than ten minutes.

The hotel room was restored to its original state.

This was also Le Zhengyue's requirement; he wanted to erase the traces of his visit as much as possible so that no one would realize he had been there.

After all, he had not only taken Gu Yuena but also the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Tang Wulin and Huo Yuhao's current strength was limited, so they wouldn't notice.

But once the two of them fully matured and looked back to investigate this information, many things would be impossible to hide.

Therefore, it was best to stay hidden for as long as possible; the more thoroughly they erased their tracks, the less likely it was for anyone to find a lead.

With the final preparations complete, several Purple Mecha shot rapidly into the sky, while Le Zhengyue and Na'er took their seats inside a Red Mecha.

Two elders of the Yue Family each piloted their own Red Mecha, heading swiftly in the direction of the Heaven Spirit Empire.

To travel from Star Luo City to the Heaven Spirit Empire, one actually had to cross the Star Dou Great Forest, and even pass through the territory formerly under the jurisdiction of Shrek Academy.

Under normal circumstances, while Shrek Academy was still present, Le Zhengyue would naturally never have dared to do this, but now it didn't matter.

Three days flashed by in the blink of an eye, and they had already crossed the borders of the Star Luo Empire, arriving in the Heaven Spirit Empire.

As one of the more powerful sects within the Heaven Spirit Empire, the location of the Mysterious Underworld Sect was quite easy to determine.

After finalizing their destination, the several mecha headed toward Mysterious Heaven City.

At this moment, in the slums of Mysterious Heaven City, rows of small houses were lined up.

Inside one of these small houses stood a girl of eleven or twelve years old.

Her father had long since passed away, and she and her mother relied on each other to survive.

The place they were in now was the house where the two of them lived; it was just a very ordinary house belonging to commoners, with a total area of about thirty square meters.

In such a backward and even somewhat dilapidated environment, the girl was sitting quietly, cleaning the place.

After finishing the last of the chores, she sat gently on a chair to the side, gazing up at the blue sky with a complex emotion in her eyes.
