Chapter 824: Chapter 822: Murdered
Eastern Immortal Realm.
Sally had entered the Eastern Immortal Palace in her beast body as a little white mouse.
A familiar-looking man was handling the affairs of the Eastern Immortal Palace, looking methodical and at ease.
“Who are you?” Sally transformed into human form.
The man was startled by her, then after a glance at her appearance, he bowed respectfully, “This humble official, Duanmu Yunhua, greets the Empress.”
The Empress, a title Sally rarely heard, but for her, who already possessed various titles, she merely took it as a simple form of address.
Sally looked at him, “…Duanmu Yunhua?”
She suddenly remembered that when she had entered the Human Realm to seek the Heavenly Dao, she had been the wife of Dongfang Yi, the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao. He had been the Great General and Prime Minister of the Chu Dynasty by the name of Duanmu Yunhua.
“So it’s you.” Sally looked at him and quietly asked Xiaomei, “What level is he?”
“Middle-stage Spirit,” Xiaomei replied. “According to the current level divisions in the Immortal Realm, that would be the lowest level of Spirit Immortal.”
“His talent is not bad. After all, we gave him a Cultivation Method back then, and he progressed all by himself.”
“He’s considered decent among the Human Clan.”
“Where is His Majesty?” Sally continued.
Duanmu Yunhua replied, “He disappeared, along with two unborn egg-born princes.”
Egg-born princes? It must be Yan Ze’s twin egg babies.
Sally said to Xiaomei, “First summon the offspring, then trace what happened to them through the offspring?”
“Yes, Host,” Xiaomei responded.
Soon, two eggs, still covered with Defensive Talismans, appeared in the System Space.
Little Qianzhi had just woken up and saw her brothers return, tore off the Defensive Talismans, and started playing ‘slide’ with them.
Sally noticed that Little Qianzhi had woken up and couldn’t bring herself to ask how she was now.
She lifted her left wrist, removed the hairpin from her head, and pierced the Partner Mark left by Zi Qi.
But! Zi Qi didn’t come back!
Even the Partner Mark on her wrist was rapidly disappearing!
Sally looked panicked and touched behind her neck where the Little Fox mark was, summoning Qing Linghuan.
Qing Linghuan appeared before him.
He had just fought with You Hao and had not yet learned of Zi Qi’s disappearance from him. Just seeing a man standing in front of him, well-dressed and decent-looking, he began to feel suspicious, his tone tinged with jealousy, “Yanyan, who is this man?”
“Stop it, he is Duanmu Yunhua, the Prime Minister of Ancestral Dragon in the Human Realm,” Sally explained.
Duanmu Yunhua was surprised Sally knew he had once been a Prime Minister.
Qing Linghuan understood because he had heard from You Hao about Ancestral Dragon becoming the Human Emperor and his rather pleasure-filled life in the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards.
“Did Emperor Chu have any scandals? Let’s hear them.”
“…” Duanmu Yunhua was stunned, “His Majesty was a man of great talents and aspirations. He dedicated his life to governance, laying a prosperous foundation for the Chu Dynasty for five hundred years. There are no scandals to speak of.”
“I didn’t summon you here to talk about him. Rather, Zi Qi has gone missing. When I tried to summon him, even the Partner Mark disappeared.” Sally raised her pale left wrist to show Qing Linghuan.
Qing Linghuan’s expression became grave.
“There is one possibility,” he said, looking at Sally.
Sally’s heart clenched, “Speak.”
“Zi Qi’s soul has left his body,” Qing Linghuan told Sally.
“What does that mean?” Sally was shocked.
“Perhaps she was murdered, her body possessed by another soul, erasing the partner mark. This is also the only way to eliminate the partner mark besides you—it means the souls are mismatched. At this point, Zi Qi hasn’t exactly died but isn’t alive either. You can neither summon her nor can she be reborn, existing in a type of chaos.”
Qing Linghuan looked at Sally, “It appears the other party knows you very well. And who knows you better than Zi Qi?”
“Are you saying the other party controlled Zi Qi and learned about my information, even erasing the partner mark.”

“It’s possible they even have information on the children. Didn’t you once share the children’s talents with Zi Qi?”
“…Yes.” Sally’s expression turned increasingly cold.
Xiaomei presented the traced information to Sally in the form of a video.
Sally played the video.
“These were brought back by Xiao Zhao and Little Che.”
“Xiao Zhao and Little Che? Are they Yan Ze’s sons?”
“Mhm.” Sally watched the footage displayed in the video.
Zi Qi put the two egg babies in the Divine Liquid, giving them Divine Liquid baths daily.
Suddenly, Zi Qi affixed a defense talisman on each egg baby. Recognizing the amulet’s markings, they were made by Xiaoba and had Ancestor Heng’s blessings.
Sally understood why, when summoned, the two egg babies had defensive talismans on them.
A black figure, emanating a thick demonic Qi, appeared behind Zi Qi!
Zi Qi, already prepared, turned around and struck with a Quasi-divine Holy Power.
But the opponent was fearless, caught the strike barehanded, and unleashed the Demon Realm, taking away both Zi Qi and the egg babies.
Afterward, the talismans on the egg babies’ shells were attacked by magic power, but the talismans did not budge. It seemed the opponent lacked patience, having wasted effort on the egg babies, attacked twice more, then threw the egg babies into a pit and smashed two large rocks over them.
The video ended there.
Sally was shaking with fury, “Do you know who it is?”
“I can’t tell.” Qing Linghuan replied, “We should have Welly come over. Currently, in the Demon Realm, any demon cultivator who can easily trap Zi Qi should be identifiable. By eliminating suspects one by one, we should find a clue.”
Sally turned to Duanmu Yunhua, “Could you please leave us for a moment?”
“Of course, Empress.” Duanmu Yunhua hurriedly left.
Sally immediately removed her shirt, exposing the Luotian Butterfly on her back.
Qing Linghuan helped Sally pierce the Luotian Butterfly, and seeing Sally’s crimson blood, curiously asked, “Why isn’t your blood golden like a god’s?”
“Because I am not a god yet.”
“… Spending all that time in the Divine Realm, I thought you had ascended to godhood.”
“Not yet.”
Sally summoned Welly.
Welly arrived with a frying spoon in hand. He had been cooking in the kitchen of Asura King Palace, and in the next moment, he was beside Sally.
“…Yanyan? Aren’t you in the Divine Realm?”
Sally looked at the frying spoon in his hand, “Something urgent came up, are you cooking?”
“Yeah, Xiao Mumu wanted to eat spicy magic shrimp, I was just frying it.” Welly, remembering his cooking, hurriedly said, “Shall we talk at Asura King Palace?”
“That would be great, I’d like to try your cooking,” Qing Linghuan replied.
“It definitely won’t compare to Zulu’s,” Welly laughed.
Sally frowned but agreed since it involved investigating within the Demon Realm.
After arriving at the Asura King Palace, Welly served the spicy magic shrimp he had cooked.
Little Fengning and Xiao Mumu, seeing Sally, were overjoyed.
Sally hugged the two children and kept kissing them, then showed Welly the video.
