Seven Treasure City, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Chamber.
Ning Fengzhi was sitting in the main seat, with a summary of intelligence from all over the mainland spread out in front of him.
He flipped through the pages with a calm expression, occasionally stopping to take a second look at a certain line of text.
Chen Xin was leaning on the pillar by the window, with the pale golden sword lying across his knees. Sword Intent was restrained, closing his eyes and concentrating.
After flipping through the last page, Ning Fengzhi closed the file and sighed softly.
"It's been a year. Huang Yun There's no news at all about that guy."
Chen Xin opened his eyes with calm eyes. "He said before he left that it may take about a year to accept Divine Test. Divine Test's place is hidden, so it's normal if you can't find it."
Ning Fengzhi shook the folding fan and looked in the direction of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda outside the window. "I know. But there are many people on the mainland who are staring at him. Spirit Hall sent people to intercept and kill him a year ago, but he ran away. Later, Spirit Hall's hidden stooge has been operating around North, but no trace of him has been found. Nihuang Douluo personally stayed around Far North for more than half a year, and finally withdrew."
Chen Xin: "With his speed, no one can find him if he tries to hide him. Don't worry, with his strength and character, nothing will happen to him."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, but his eyes remained focused.
He was silent for a while and then asked, "Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, how are they doing lately?"
Chen Xin: "Rongrong is practicing Heart Separation Control Method and is making good progress. Her talent is extremely high. With your personal guidance and the tilt of the sect's resources, she is now I have reached the threshold of the fourth level. Zhu Zhuqing is also stable, practicing every day, and occasionally discussing with Rongrong. Both girls are waiting for that Champion Marquis to come back."
Ning Fengzhi The corner of his mouth curled up and he didn't answer.
He opened another piece of information, looked at it, and frowned slightly.
Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy temporary residence.
Flender is sitting in the office, flipping through the accounts for the college's reconstruction.
Zhao Wuji pushed the door open and said in a rough voice, "Dean, there is still no message from Huang Yun."
Flender sighed and put down the account book in his hand, "It's been a year. That kid didn't even say hello before he left."
Yu Xiaogang sat in the corner, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said in a hoarse voice, "He should have gone to accept Divine Test. The place Divine Test is isolated from the world, and it is normal to not be found."
Flender glanced at him and said nothing.
Yu Xiaogang's condition has not been very good this year.
The strength Huang Yun showed on Finals and Soul Ring Configuration completely overturned the Martial Soul Theory he had studied for decades.
He has not fully recovered yet.
"Who do you think he is?" Flender leaned on the back of the chair and looked out the window. "Fifteen-year-old Seven-Ring Soul Sage, five blacks and two reds, Divine Rank Martial Soul, and also accepted Divine Test. This kind of person is a monster-level existence in any era."
Yu Xiaogang was silent for a long time, and finally just shook his head and did not answer.
Heaven Dou City Palace, Imperial Study.
Xue Ye was sitting behind the desk with a blank memorial in front of him.
He picked up the pen to write something, then put it down.
Ge Long stood aside, his dark golden armor glowing coldly under the light.
He has fully recovered from his injuries, but the impression left by that battle is still profound.
"Champion Marquis has any message?" Xue Ye said.
Ge Long shook his head. "No. I sent people to investigate secretly. After he left the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire a year ago, he went to the extreme North. There was no news after that. It seems that Spirit Hall also sent people to intercept and kill him, but they failed."
Xue Ye leaned back on the chair, his eyes focused. "It's been a year. A sixteen-year-old boy has been alone outside for a year with no news. Either he is in trouble, or he is practicing in an isolated place. With his strength, the former is unlikely."
Ge Long: "Your Majesty, I think Champion Marquis should be practicing in seclusion. Before he left, he told Ning Fengzhi that it might take about a year to accept Divine Test."
Xue Ye nodded with a far-reaching gaze. "Divine Test... I have lived for most of my life and have never seen anyone who truly accepts Divine Test. This son's future achievements are immeasurable."
He paused and then asked, "How is the prince doing lately?"
Ge Long: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been handling government affairs at the Eastern Palace, as usual. He must arrive at court every morning, and the memorials are approved in a timely manner. There is nothing unusual."
Xue Ye said "Yeah" and didn't ask any more questions.
He picked up the pen again and wrote a few lines on the memorial, but his mind was obviously not on that.
Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Xue Qinghe is sitting in the study, with a brief piece of information about Huang Yun spread out in front of him.
The information contained very little content, only a few lines of "Leaving the Heaven Dou territory, heading towards the extreme North direction, and then losing track".
She put down the information, leaned back in the chair, and closed her eyes.
It's been a year.
There is no information about that boy at all.
She didn't know where he was, what he was doing, or whether he was still alive.
She only knew that he would definitely come back.
The boy who looked down at her on the ring, the boy who penetrated her chest with Dragon Fang Knuckle Duster, the boy who withdrew the fatal blow at the last moment.
He won't just disappear.
She clenched her fists and put the information into the secret compartment.
Then she picked up another Confidential Report on the table, an instruction from the Spirit Hall Elder Hall.
Qian Daoliu asked her to continue lurking and wait for the Spirit Hall's next plan.
She took a deep breath, restored Xue Qinghe's gentle and calm face, opened the door and walked out of the study.
Spirit City, Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong is sitting on the throne, his breath is deeper and more terrifying than a year ago.
Her Rakshasa God Trial has advanced to a critical stage. Although Soul Power is still at level ninety-nine, the Rakshasa Power in her body is more solid than before, and there is a suffocating sense of oppression in her every move.
Nihuang Douluo was kneeling on one knee in the hall, his long red hair hanging down on his shoulders, and his face was not very good-looking.
She failed to intercept him a year ago, and since then she has been secretly tracing the whereabouts of Huang Yun, hoping to make up for her mistake.
But a year later, there is still no harvest.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate is incompetent." Nihuang Douluo lowered his head. "In the past year, I have sent people to search the outside of Far North, but Huang Yun entered Far North depth is like evaporating from the world. The environment in Far North depth is harsh, it is too dangerous there, Titled Douluo will all perish, we dare not go deep rashly, and the clues are cut off."
Bibi Dong said nothing.
She leaned on the throne, tapped her fingers on the armrest twice, and stared intently.
After a moment, she spoke, "Forget it, I won't look for it anymore."
Nihuang Douluo looked up at her.
Bibi Dong stood up, walked to the palace window, looked at the silhouette of Spirit City, and said in a calm tone, "There has been no news about this child for a year. He either died in the depths of Far North, or he received Divine Test in an isolated place. No matter which one, he will not return to the mainland in the short term."
She paused and continued, "Instead of wasting energy on chasing an uncertain target, it is better to do the things right now."
She turned around and looked at Nihuang Douluo: "Give me the order to withdraw all the hidden stakes tracking Huang Yun. Make full efforts to advance 'Nation-Stealing Plan'. The layout of the Heaven Dou Empire has entered a critical stage and there is no room for failure."
Nihuang Douluo took the order, "Yes!"
Bibi Dong added, "When Nation-Stealing Plan is completed, Spirit Hall takes control of the Heaven Dou Empire, reorganizes Spirit Hall Empire, and then unifies the world. By then, the entire continent will In our hands. No matter how powerful Huang Yun is, he is only one person after all, and the most special one. No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to fight against an empire. When he comes back, if he is willing to submit, you can give him a position. If you are not willing..."
The corner of her mouth curved in a cold arc. "Then let him wander overseas."
"Yes!"
Nihuang Douluo bowed and stepped back.
Pope's Palace's door slowly closed, engulfing the slender and majestic figure in the shadows.
Bibi Dong stood alone in the palace, looking beyond the city wall and looking in the very far direction of North.
That boy is still deep in Far North at the moment, but he will come back one day.
By then, everything will be different.
She withdrew her gaze, turned around and walked back to the throne.
Rakshasa Power surged silently inside her body, and the dark and terrifying power was even more unfathomable than a year ago.
Nation-Stealing Plan has advanced to the final stage. In the Heaven Dou Empire's court, Spirit Hall's secrets are everywhere.
Xue Ye is old and has Dark Poison in his body. Prince Xue Qinghe is theirs.
As long as you wait for a while, Heaven Dou Empire will change your surname.
By then, she will be the queen of the Spirit Hall Empire.
And that boy named Huang Yun, no matter how strong he becomes, is just a pawn.
Either surrender or disappear.
There is no third way.
Bibi Dong sat back on the throne and closed his eyes.
Pope's Palace returned to its former quietness, with only the dim light of Soul Guidance Lamp flickering on and off in the hall.
