Ji Tianxing and Chao Qingyu didn't take it too seriously.
The most urgent task is to find Lin Xue first.
"Forget it, ignore them, let's take a look at this cave first."
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and led Chao Qingyu through the gap in the light curtain.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, the two of them entered an alien space and appeared on a wasteland.
Looking around, there is a vast wilderness with only sparse weeds and scattered small trees.
Further away, there are several mountain peaks and large jungles, but they have all collapsed and appear to be in a mess.
Ji Tianxing frowned and released his consciousness to spread around, exploring further places.
Chao Qingyu couldn't help but frown and muttered: "In such a harsh environment, even the divine power is extremely thin, how can it be used as a cave to live and practice?
Young Master, I guess this was once a cave for strong men, but it was destroyed."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said: "This cave is not big, with a radius of about ten thousand miles. Let's go to the innermost part and have a look. There is something there."
After saying that, he took Chao Qingyu and flew across the wasteland, crossed the collapsed mountain peaks, and flew to the deepest part of the cave.
Not long after, the two arrived at a ruin-like mountain peak.
There is a small platform on the top of the mountain, where stands a mausoleum with a radius of 100 feet, and a tombstone with a height of 100 feet.
This mausoleum and stone monument are very new and are incompatible with the surrounding dilapidated scene.
Ji Tianxing saw the clues after just a few observations.
"This mausoleum was only repaired in recent days, and the tombstone was just erected."
Chao Qingyu nodded and analyzed: "The surroundings of the mausoleum are dilapidated and deserted, like ruins, but the mausoleum and stone tablets are new.
So, someone has been here in recent days and renovated the tomb and tombstone?"
"That's right." Ji Tianxing responded, his eyes falling on the stone tablet a hundred feet high.
I saw a few lines of dark red words engraved on the dark brown stone tablet, which clearly read: "The tomb of loving father Lin Wuwei, and the tomb of virtuous mother Lin."
In the lower right corner of the tombstone, there are six dark red words written.
The unfilial daughter Lin Xueli.
Seeing these lines, Ji Tianxing's brows relaxed slightly.
Chao Qingyu also suddenly understood, nodded and said: "Sir, we guessed it right, this is Miss Lin's home, the Lin family's cave.
In this mausoleum, Miss Lin's parents are buried.
It must have been three days ago that she returned here to pay homage to her parents and renovated the mausoleum and tombstone."
Ji Tianxing nodded slightly and said in a low tone: "I'm afraid things are not that simple! If she just came back to worship her parents and repair the tomb, then she should have returned to the divine ship long ago.
But she has not appeared until now, and she is not in this cave.
I'm afraid she got into some trouble or went somewhere else."
Chao Qingyu couldn't help but frown, and asked with some worry: "Then what should we do? Where should we find her?"
Ji Tianxing thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Don't worry, I have a solution."
After saying that, he turned around and left with Chao Qingyu, rushing to the exit of the cave.
…
A quarter of an hour ago, inside Qifeng Courtyard.
Meng Yu stood respectfully in the first courtyard with four black-armored guards, waiting patiently.
A moment later, the purple-robed old man with a goatee walked into the manor with four high-ranking god-lords in gold armor and thirty-two middle-level god-lords in silver armor.
Meng Yu hurriedly greeted him, with a smile on his face, a respectful gesture and a salute, saying: "My subordinate Meng Yu, we are waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Imperial Master!
We also respectfully welcome the four commanders and the thirty-two captains of the imperial army."
Meng Yu showed great humility and enthusiasm, and was not only respectful to the imperial master.
He even took care of the four Forbidden Army commanders and the thirty-two Forbidden Army captains brought by the Imperial Guard.
The Imperial Master was very satisfied with his performance, nodded slightly and said: "Meng Yu, you are interested, please get up quickly."
"Thank you so much, Your Imperial Majesty." Meng Yu thanked him with a smile, and quickly led the Imperial Master into the hall to sit down and drink tea.
During the whole process, he showed a flattering look of nodding and bowing, without feeling any shame at all.
The four Forbidden Army commanders secretly laughed.
The thirty-two Forbidden Army captains were originally seriously injured and were in a very embarrassed and depressed mood.
At this moment, seeing Meng Yu in such a posture and showing great respect to them, he felt much better.
After the Imperial Master sat down, he had no intention of drinking tea and asked directly: "Meng Yu, is Lin Xue still in this manor? Has she noticed anything unusual?"
Meng Yu quickly bowed and saluted, and replied with a smile: "The Imperial Master is a wise man, and Lin Xue is indeed not stupid. He noticed something unusual this morning.
She arrogantly broke through the defensive formation and escaped from the manor.
However, her subordinates were already on guard and arrived in time to intercept her.
Now, she is tied up with a soul-suppressing chain by her subordinates and suppressed in the secret room of the underground palace."
"Very good!" The Imperial Master breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up and walked out of the hall.
"Let's go, take me to find her now."
Meng Yu was startled for a moment and quickly persuaded him: "Your Imperial Majesty, you don't have to worry. Lin Xue has been seriously injured and has been sealed by his subordinates. It is absolutely impossible to escape.
You are an incomparable noble body, how can you go to the dark underground palace to find her?
Please wait here for a moment, and your subordinates will bring her up and hand her into your hands."
The Imperial Master thought for a moment and felt that he was too impatient and not calm and dignified enough.
So, he pretended to cough twice, deliberately assumed a calm and dignified posture, nodded and said: "Well, Meng Yu is determined, let's go and do it!"
Meng Yu quickly bowed and retreated, quickly rushing to the secret room of the underground palace.
In less than a hundred breaths, he carried Lin Xue, who was covered in blood and badly injured, back to the main hall.
"Plop..."
Meng Yu didn't show any pity for her, so he threw Lin Xue heavily on the ground and reported to the Imperial Preceptor: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor, Lin Xue has been brought here. Please tell me."
As soon as he saw Lin Xue, the Imperial Master's eyes were fixed on her and he could no longer look away.
"Okay, please step back."
He waved his hand and asked Meng Yu to step aside and looked at Lin Xue majestically.
At this time, Lin Xue was tightly bound by the soul-suppressing chain, and her divine power was sealed. She could only sit paralyzed on the ground, unable to resist at all.
The blue dress she was wearing had long been stained red by blood, and her long hair was spread loosely, covering her face.
Although she was seriously injured, she was not unconscious and remained conscious.
After hearing Meng Yu's words, she raised her head and looked at the Imperial Master, and then at the commander and captains of the Imperial Army.
"National Preceptor? National Preceptor of the Sky Demon Empire?"
Lin Xue frowned, with a scowl on her face, and thought to herself: "This person is the peak divine king, and there are four upper-level divine kings and thirty-two intermediate divine kings here.
Judging from their attire, most of them should be the elite guards of the Sky Demon Empire.
If I fall into the hands of the Imperial Master, even if I have great abilities, I will never be able to escape!
