Seeing the Deputy Captain being taken away, Zhou Quan and several other Hunter Soldiers expressed their intentions to pursue Yun Sheng’s whereabouts. "Have you all lost your minds? Who will protect me if you all leave?" Ye Beilian, witnessing this, was extremely annoyed. At this time, Ye Beilian was deathly afraid, yet seeing that the Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng was about to mature, he was unwilling to leave hastily. He was also worried that the old summoner might have other accomplices and feared that the eccentric old summoner would soon return to take his life. Now that his Magic Soul was disabled, he was no different from a cripple. "Is there a Crown Prince here? Just now, no one admitted to being the Crown Prince of Great Zhou. Brothers, let’s go. The Deputy Captain’s safety is important," said Zhou Quan and the others with disdain, turning to leave. Ye Beiming snorted coldly, also about to depart. "Ye Beiming, if you dare to leave, you will never know where your Empress Dowager’s grave is!" Ye Beilian had just finished speaking. Ye Beiming’s expression suddenly changed. He turned around abruptly, his face so gloomy it was terrifying, and the cold light from his gray pupils gave one the chilling illusion of being frozen in place. Step by step, Ye Beiming approached Ye Beilian. If there was anything in the entire Royal Family that Ye Beiming still cared about, it was his mother’s coffin. After his mother’s death that year, the whereabouts of her coffin had remained unknown. Over the years, Ye Beiming had been tirelessly searching for his mother’s coffin but found not a single clue. The Emperor of Great Zhou was not willing to mention this matter either. Clearly, Ye Beilian knew Ye Beiming’s weakness. Suddenly grasping Ye Beilian’s collar, Ye Beiming was like a crazed leopard whose eyes had reddened, filled with intense killing intent. Ye Beilian was choked to the point of not being able to breathe. Just when he thought he was going to be strangled to death by Ye Beiming, the latter suddenly released his grip. Ye Beilian gasped for air, and at that moment, he felt that Ye Beiming was a killing god. "Remember, this is the last time you threaten me with my mother’s coffin. If you don’t tell me its exact location this time, next time, I will definitely make you end up like the Eagle Claw Bat whose head was torn off by me, with your body dismembered," Ye Beiming said, pausing between each word. He turned away, glancing at Qi. "Your little snake should be able to find Yun Sheng’s whereabouts," entrusting Little Wildcat’s life to another man was unimaginably painful for Ye Beiming, but he had no other choice. The secret related to his mother’s coffin was crucial; he had to find it. Besides, he had seen Little Wildcat wink towards him and Qi when she left. Every time Yun Sheng was brewing some scheme, she had that same expression. This time, it shouldn’t be an exception. Qi left in silence, heading northwest. Inside Luoxia City, within the City Lord Mansion, the Dark Crown Prince and the Luoxia City Lord were waiting for news from the Luoxia Wetlands. The Dark Crown Prince still had that same cool expression on his face. "Your Highness, the Dark Crown Prince, might it be a bit unwise to trade a Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng for the life of the Crown Prince of Great Zhou?" The Luoxia City Lord’s face showed a touch of reluctance. That was a Six-leaf Purple Ginseng, a rarity that Luoxia City had only encountered once in the last fifty years. But the Dark Crown Prince had promised the Purple Ginseng to that summoner as a reward. "It’s just a Purple Ginseng. Since the Luoxia Wetland is suitable for nurturing such a medicinal herb, I believe that after several decades, another Purple Ginseng will appear in the wetland. Moreover, I’ve heard that this time, it’s not just the Crown Prince of Dazhou who has come here, but also Prince Beiming of Dazhou." Emperor of Great Zhou only has two sons. If he were in Hou Qin and lost both princes at once, what would become of Great Zhou’s future? The Dark Crown Prince did not care about the Purple Ginseng. The assassination he arranged earlier against the hunter soldiers in Daoye Mountain Guard City was just a precedent. In recent years, Hou Qin’s national strength has been growing. Back then, due to the dominance of the Great Zhou Martial Saint Yun Bahe, Hou Qin had no choice but to withdraw troops. In the Dark Crown Prince’s eyes, annexing Great Zhou was just a matter of time. This time, if the assassination of Great Zhou’s crown prince and prince is successful, then Great Zhou will surely plunge into chaos. Hence, spending a Purple Ginseng is well worth it. But if the Dark Crown Prince knew that the one in the Luoxia Wetland was a Divine-level Purple Ginseng about to advance in rank, his attitude might not be so relaxed. Half a day has passed. With the pace of those from Great Zhou, they must have already entered the trap. The Dark Crown Prince was eager to know the result. At this moment, in the northwest of Luoxia Wetland. "Young lady, where exactly is that Crown Prince of Dazhou? We’ve been walking for 15 minutes already," the old summoner said after walking with Yun Sheng for a while, still not seeing the Crown Prince of Dazhou and becoming suspicious of the direction Yun Sheng was taking. "We’re almost there. Elder, patience is a virtue," Yun Sheng said unhurriedly as she walked. "Don’t think about playing any tricks. My Eagle Claw Bat King has sharp eyes. If it sees any suspicious movement from you, your fate will be the same as that summoner’s we just dealt with. I don’t want to have to twist off that little head of yours as well," the old summoner warned, on guard. "I get it, I get it. Hey, Elder, what is that ahead?" Yun Sheng walked ahead, and a swamp appeared in front of them. She glanced back and suddenly called out loudly. Almost at the same time, the sky suddenly grew dark. "What a cunning little girl, daring to pull a fast one on me," the old summoner was furious. He was just about to order his summoned beast to capture Yun Sheng when the sky around him suddenly darkened. The Eagle Claw Bat became immediately alert. Following that, a powerful oppressive force surged forth. It was pitch black all around, and when that oppressive force arrived, the old summoner’s Eagle Claw Bat let out a terrified screech. The formidable Ninth-Order Eagle Claw Bat, under that pressure, flipped over and crashed down from the old man’s shoulder. "Who’s there? Which exalted elder is it?" The old summoner who was previously confident, began to secret cold sweat as he felt the oppressive force. Based on his summoned beast’s reaction, he could be certain there was a summoner hiding nearby with strength surpassing his own. Someone with higher power than a Holy Beast Summoner, could it be a Bishop-level Summoner, or even...? No, it seems even higher than that. It’s a Summoning Emperor! To encounter a high-ranking expert of the Summoning Emperor Level in such a place. The old summoner had already put Yun Sheng out of his mind and knelt down with a thud, bowing continuously toward a certain direction in the dark: "Which Summoning Emperor is it? If I have offended in any way, I beg the elder’s forgiveness." He had no idea that the so-called oppressive force was nothing more than the pressure released by Yun Sheng using the Summoning Demon Hand, "Foolish fellow, daring to trouble my disciple," to avoid the disguise magic being detected, Yun Sheng had to use Little Black’s Swallowing Heaven Battle Technique, disguising herself as a reclusive high-level expert, and she roughened her voice, intentionally making it hoarse and low.
