Chapter 1 The Past Without a Trace

On the stage, a figure in a gorgeous opera costume slowly appeared. She pinched her fingers in a delicate orchid gesture, her phoenix eyes bright and piercing as she gazed at Elder Cai Qiao in the audience. Her voice was melodious and charming: "The Past Without a Trace failed to break through to the Demigod realm. Why are you only telling me this now?"

Elder Cai bowed and said, "This subordinate only just received the news." He lowered his head, and a beautiful skirt came into view. Then, his chin was lifted by a slender, jade-like finger.

Silently, the master of the Water God Palace teleported from the stage to in front of Elder Cai.

"Interesting. I just used a prop to divine, and the hexagram was perfectly normal. How did you know about the Past Without a Trace's failure to break through to the Demigod realm? Could it be that you, Cai Qinhe, can see through the secrets of Taiyin's hidden stars?"

The exquisite face painted with red and pink makeup carried a faint, alluring smile, but her eyes were as cold as water. "Cai Qinhe, it's foolish to play tricks in front of me. You and I are both heartless people, but we are also people who hold grudges."

Her fair fingers stroked Elder Cai's face, and she said with a charming smile, "My way of revenge is usually to send people back to the Lingjing."

Elder Cai's expression remained unchanged, and he said bluntly, "Palace Master, Ling Tuo and the Southern School leader are working together to target the Past Without a Trace. Ling Tuo has been planning this for a long time, and the Past Without a Trace is sure to die. You should take action. Demigod items cannot fall into the hands of the Southern School, or else there will be another Shura. And once the Past Without a Trace goes mad, the people of Jinshan City will be doomed. Only your Reflection can isolate the Demigods from reality."

In front of a Demigod, concealment and tricks are indeed meaningless. He did not intend to hide anything, but to be open and honest, explaining the advantages and disadvantages, and then letting the Palace Master make her own decision.

A Demigod-level item and the lives of the Jinshan City citizens were both things that the Palace Master could not ignore. Elder Cai was certain that the Palace Master would take action; this was a Yang Plot (overt plot).

As for scheming against a Demigod and inviting punishment, that would be a matter for later. Of course, if the Palace Master could obtain a Demigod-level item, he would not only be blameless, but would also have made a great contribution.

In Elder Cai's view, dealing with Yuanshi Tianzun was just a side issue. The main theme was to compete for the Illusory God item. If the Five Elements Alliance did not intervene, the Past Without a Trace's Illusory God item would ultimately fall into the hands of the Dark Night Rose and the Southern School.

The Palace Master of the Water God Palace snorted softly. "The Lord of the Central Courtyard is asleep, and that little white tiger is wandering around in the dungeon. I and the surname Jiang will handle this matter. As for your little thoughts, I'll settle the score with you later."

Her body dissipated like foam, like a residual image.

Zhao Xintong? Why is this girl calling me out of the blue? Zhang Yuanqing didn't avoid the Xie family's grandparents and answered the phone calmly.

"Yuanshi Tianzun," Zhao Xintong's weak and trembling voice sounded, "There are Sovereigns, there are official Sovereigns who want to kill us. We've been discovered. Come and save us. We're at home."

"Beep, beep, beep." The call was disconnected.

Zhang Yuanqing's scalp went numb, and the tipsy drunkenness disappeared instantly. Being targeted by official Sovereigns at home? Did the Sovereigns give her time to make a phone call? Is Cai Qiao trying to replicate the plane ambush incident?

How did he locate Xiao Yuan? It's impossible to lock onto them so quickly with just surveillance cameras. As his thoughts flashed, he felt chills rise in his heart. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly stood up and said urgently, "Senior, something has happened to my friend. I have to leave immediately. I need help."

The Old Ancestor frowned slightly, looked at him, and said with a serious expression, speaking frankly, "Are you sure you want to go? Have you forgotten your death tribulation?"

"I'm sure." Zhang Yuanqing didn't hesitate.

The Old Ancestor shook her head slightly. "Deep affection is not long-lived. Xie Su, you go with him."

Xie Su stood up.

"Yes!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing had already taken out the matchbox and lit two matches in a row, making a wish to obtain two teleportation jades.

Then, he grabbed Little Red Riding Hood and summoned a Level 4 Yin corpse to make a wish, obtaining the third teleportation jade.

Then, he summoned the clone outside the courtyard, handed him the Five Elements Spiritual Power Experience Card, the "Heaven Worship Set," and three teleportation jades. After thinking about it, considering that the clone might need help, he also gave the Ghost Bride to him.

"Go and save them quickly," Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice.

The official Sovereigns obviously wanted to use Xiao Yuan to lure him out. Now that their goal had been achieved, they were likely to kill Xiao Yuan and the others. Therefore, a strong person must immediately rush to support them.

The clone nodded. The two of them were connected in mind, with the same origin of souls, so there was no need to explain anything.

Watching the clone disappear, Zhang Yuanqing looked at Xie Su again.

"Uncle Xie, take me to Chunghua Community in Jinshan City." The reason why he didn't use the teleportation jades was because those two jades had to be kept to save Xiao Yuan and Kou Beiyue.

Although he could also use Little Red Riding Hood to collect them, Zhang Yuanqing vaguely sensed the arrival of the death tribulation.

If he had an accident, Xiao Yuan and Kou Beiyue in the hat would surely die.

He only left Xie Su behind, because Little Red Riding Hood could not accommodate Spirit Realm Hunters who exceeded her own level. Zhang Yuanqing was now at the peak of Level Six.

Xie Su grabbed a ball of red thread from his inventory, held the red thread ball tightly, and whispered to himself, "Chunghua Community in Jinshan City!"

After saying that, he held one end of the thread and threw the red thread ball into the distance. The embroidered red ball rolled and rolled, rolled into the void, and disappeared, leaving only a thin red thread.

"Jinshan City is not far from Crab City. Hold the red thread and follow it. It will only take two minutes." Xie Su led the red thread further and further away, walking into the void.

Zhang Yuanqing suppressed the anxiety in his heart, picked up the red thread, and followed him to disappear into the void.

In the room, Zhao Xintong hung up the phone. She knew that she didn't have much time left. After discovering that the life essence was not working, she realized that her life was coming to an end.

So she hung up the phone. At the end of her life, she still had other things to do.

Zhao Xintong dialed her grandfather's number.

Since she lost her father in childhood, her grandfather had been the one who loved her the most. Her birth mother hated her, her stepfather abused her, and her withdrawn personality also made her classmates dislike her. The teacher often said, "Although they are wrong, you have to think about your own problems."

Only her grandfather treated her like a treasure. Her grandfather said she was a little angel. The phone rang for a long time before it was finally connected: "Hello, Tongtong?"
