“Yes, the Snow Nation’s delegation!”
Ao Chunqiu caught his breath and continued, “A delegation from the Snow Nation happened to come to the capital during those few days. I met them when they were visiting the imperial palace. At that time, I only took a glance at the people from the Snow Nation and didn’t pay much attention to them.
“But when the phenomenon in the Chengtian Palace intensified, I received news from the You Family and entered the secret chamber. Only then did I realize that I had seen the two women who followed me into the secret chamber before in the Snow Nation’s delegation!
“These two women are very strong, yet they had no intention of killing me. They only suppressed me from the start and rendered me immobile.
“I watched them search the secret chamber and find a stone slab before leaving.
“After they left, I regained my mobility and found the Heavenly Star Disk as the You Family had instructed. I also left the secret chamber.
“I didn’t expect that when I walked out of the Chengtian Palace with the Heavenly Star Disk, a ball of light suddenly erupted from the secret underground chamber and enveloped the entire palace.
“I was blocked outside the light barrier. I was about to try to return when a strong wind suddenly came from behind me. Before I could dodge, I was struck in the back and fainted on the spot.
“I only woke up just now. After asking around, I learned that something major had happened in the capital. The You Family had been wiped out. New Chu’s Martial Sage Chu was about to die and had merged New Chu into the Yu Nation.
At this point, Ao Chunqiu paused and glanced at Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul. He asked softly, “May I ask if the person who injured me was New Chu’s Martial Sage, Xiang Qingtian?”
“Yes.”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul replied, “The one who injured you and stole the Heavenly Star Disk was Xiang Qingtian. However, not long after he obtained the Heavenly Star Disk, he was severely injured and left on the verge of death. The Heavenly Star Disk was also lost. It was snatched away.”
“This…”
Ao Chunqiu was stunned when he heard that. Then, his eyes flashed quickly and he asked in surprise, “The people who severely injured Xiang Qingtian aren’t the two women from the Snow Nation who followed me into the secret chamber, are they?”
“Yes, it’s them.” Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul did not hide anything.
Ao Chunqiu was one of the parties involved, so it was no big deal for him to know about this.
As expected, when Ao Chunqiu heard this, his face was first filled with shock, then disbelief. He murmured, “Xiang Qingtian is a Martial Sage. They were actually able to severely injure a Martial Sage and he ultimately died? Who are these two women? Are they related to the Martial Sage of the Snow Nation?”
“You’ll have to ask the Martial Sage of the Snow Nation.”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul replied indifferently, “You don’t have to worry about the subsequent matters. Rest well.”
With that, he turned around and left the room. Stepping into the air, he headed straight for the Foreign Affairs Division Building to look for Luo Shan.
Su Jingxing was right.
Ao Chunqiu had something to do with the two women who injured Xiang Qingtian!
These two people that Xiang Qingtian called inhumane were originally part of the Snow Nation’s delegation. When they arrived in the Yu Nation and discovered the abnormal phenomenon in the Chengtian Palace, they followed Ao Chunqiu into the secret chamber and first took the stone slab before taking the Heavenly Star Disk.
“At first, they did not notice the Heavenly Star Disk. Only after they left the secret chamber did they return again to take it away.
“In the end, they saw Xiang Qingtian injure Ao Chunqiu and seize the Heavenly Star Disk.
“For the Heavenly Star Disk, they followed Xiang Qingtian out of the capital and ambushed him more than 600 miles out there to snatch it.”
These were the details of the entire incident!
Now, finding these two women was the key.
When Su Jingxing came previously, two people from the Snow Nation’s delegation had gone missing.
Now that he put both matters together, there was no doubt that the two missing people were the two women who had taken the Heavenly Star Disk!
Su Jingxing approached Deputy Prime Minister Luo Shan to ask him for information about the two women.
The Yu Nation and the Snow Nation were allies with diplomatic relations.
The two missing women had to have their information dug out and searched for according to it.
With their information and appearances, Su Jingxing could deduce their approximate locations.
Su Jingxing couldn’t make something out of nothing.
With the relevant information, and their appearances, it would be much simpler.
When Luo Shan brought the information over and the Essence Soul saw the appearances of the two women, its gaze froze.
It’s her!
Su Jingxing had actually seen one of the two women before.
Previously, she was the girl he saw chasing after the Void World monsters when his physical body had been sanctified and he entered the Void World to see through the dark areas.
At that time, Su Jingxing was shocked to see someone was flying in the Void World.
Now that he thought about it, it was no wonder Xiang Qingtian was no match for him.
The other party could come and go freely in the dark area of the Void World, chasing after the Void World monsters.
Obviously her strength would be extraordinary.
When Xiang Qingtian said that they were not human, it further proved the strength of the two women.
Not human, probably meant that they weren’t from the human race. They were of a foreign race!
Just like the Winged Ones, although they looked like humans, they were actually fundamentally different.
However, compared to Sha Lou and his people, these two women were much luckier. They were able to disguise themselves as humans and blend into the Snow Nation.
For this reason, their information was very simple.
Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er!
Apart from these two names and photos, the remaining information about their identities were most likely fake.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul circulated the Six Comets Records and deduced Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er’s approximate location based on their names and photos.
Unexpectedly, he was blocked not long after.
Not disappear. He was indeed blocked.
It wasn’t the first time Su Jingxing had come into contact with heavenly secret arts.
He could still distinguish between the disappearance of his senses and being blocked.
“Interesting,” murmured Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul.
Although he was blocked very quickly, Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er were real names!
If they were fake, it would be difficult for Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul to find them based on the two photos.
Now, since the names and photos were real, there was still a way to find them even if he was blocked.
But before that, Su Jingxing had to get help.
The Martial Sage of the Snow Nation, Yu Xiangtian!
“Contact the Snow Nation immediately and link me to their Martial Sage.”
Without any reservation, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul made its request to Luo Shan.
“…Alright.”
Luo Shan did not ask what he was doing. He immediately got someone to make a call and contact the Snow Nation.
Almost ten minutes later.
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul came to the big office again and had a video call with the Martial Sage of the Snow Nation, Yu Xiangtian.
“Brother Kong, why are you looking for me so urgently? Is something wrong?”
On the screen, Yu Xiangtian said anxiously, “Is there a situation in the Demon’s Den in the Yu Nation? Have demonic creatures rushed out?”
“The Demon’s Den is fine. I’m here to ask you, Brother Yu. Do you know Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er?” Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul asked directly.
“Nian Shuang, Nian Ling’er?”
Yu Xiangtian was puzzled. “I think I’ve heard of them. Is there something wrong with them?”
“They came to the Yu Nation to seize a treasure called the Heavenly Star Disk. They injured Ao Chunqiu, Xiang Qingtian, and especially Xiang Qingtian. They ambushed him and severely injured him. He ultimately died,” Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul explained simply.
“What?”
Yu Xiangtian exclaimed, “Brother Kong, you said that Xiang Qingtian was killed by someone else? It wasn’t you?”
“Of course not.”
The corners of Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul’s lips twitched. “If I had severely injured Xiang Qingtian, would he have entrusted the New Chu Nation to me?”
“That’s right.”
Yu Xiangtian was enlightened. “We thought you killed Xiang Qingtian. That’s right, if you were the one who did it, why would Xiang Qingtian merge the New Chu Nation into the Yu Nation?”
This was actually not difficult to understand. It was just that he was momentarily shocked and had yet to get his head around it.
With Xiang Qingtian’s death, the New Chu Nation would integrate into the Yu Nation.
This news had just spread to other countries in the Eastern Continent.
As expected, almost everyone was utterly shocked. They were in disbelief.
Not long ago, Su Jingxing had just destroyed Xiang Qingtian’s physical body.
And now not long after, his Essence Soul was also killed and the New Chu Nation was also annexed by the Yu Nation!
Yu Xiangtian was in the Demon’s Den.
Since his physical body was left in the Snow Nation, he was naturally aware of this situation.
He was equally shocked.
Now that he heard Su Jingxing’s explanation, his expression suddenly turned solemn.
“Brother Kong, you’re looking for Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er, right?”
“Yes!”
Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul replied in a low voice, “Before Xiang Qingtian died, apart from entrusting New Chu to me, he also told me that Nian Shuang and Nian Ling’er are not humans!”
“…If I remember correct;y, they are indeed not human!”
