The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor

Plant Sage's brow relaxed instead as he ordered, "Wait here. This old man will return quickly."

He disappeared with a flash after that.

This single action by Plant Sage took him out of the Hanging Cloud Empire.

The plant he took out earlier was called Devil Intent Grass. A type of Devil Plant that was very sensitive to Devil Energy.

Since it could provide a direction, then it would not be wrong. Also, the source should not be far off or else the plant would not have been able to detect it.

With his Half-Sage cultivation plus a direction provided, he could simply expand his divine sense while searching. The process should not take very long.

As expected, Plant Sage soon discovered two men in black hiding amongst some mountain rocks. Their bodies were emitting faint traces of Devil Energy.

And in front of them, was a sleeping Xing Han.

The two men were just Star Spirit Masters, the Plant Sage only used his spirit force, and it was enough to immobilize them.

Before they could react, the Plant Sage spoke.

"Speak. Who is the one that orders you?"

His voice seemed calm, but it was like thundering drums resounding in their ears. It forced the two men to uncontrollably reply, "It is… Mistress…"

Plant Sage frowned, "Who is your mistress?"

"Mistress is… naturally Mistress."

"How can I find your Mistress?"

"We do not know…"

The two men have already lost their ability to think, they were replying purely through their subconscious.

However, their answers were equivalent to no answers at all.

Moreover, the Devil Energy on these two were very faint. They were likely grunts being controlled like puppets.

It looked like it would be impossible to identify the Mistress that ordered them.

Plant Sage did not waste any more breath. He picked up Xing Han and flew away like a ray of light over the horizon.

He waved his hand before he left, causing the two men to collapse silently onto the ground.

Plant Sage inspected Xing Han on their way back. Except for some traces of Devil Energy contamination, the boy was generally well.

He used the Golden Spirit to remove the Devil Energy before returning Xing Han to Madam Huan. He left shortly after.

The matter regarding the Huan Family would naturally be left to Qing Yan to settle. He has more important things requiring his attention.

Within Hanging Cloud Palace.

Bai Jing Hua was laying on his throne as he appreciated the dance in front with pleased eyes.

His mood was pretty good recently. No significant problems have occurred in the empire. The Crown Prince has been established as well and has left for Surging Wave Academia to improve himself.

Everything was on track.

Just as he was leisurely passing his time. Bai Jing Hua suddenly felt an enormous pressure silently descending on him. The dancers were forced to stop all their actions as well.

Bai Jing Hua was shocked. Just as he was about to shout, a blur appeared in front of him, and he saw an elder.

Bai Jing Hua felt that this person looked familiar. After pondering, his back broke into a cold sweat.

At the same time, he noticed that he could move now and quickly went forward and kneel, "This little emperor meets Lord Sage!"

Bai Jing Hua has never met the Plant Sage.

However, if an emperor did not possess information about the Half-Sages of the entire continent, then he might as well kill himself, else he would cause misfortune to others.

Bai Jing Hua might be of esteemed status within the empire.

But in front of the Sages, he was nothing worth mentioning.

The other party could wipe out his entire clan with a finger. To the point of never being able to rise up again.

"For the Lord to visit us, may I know what is your decree?" Bai Jing Hua cautiously asked.

The arrival of a Sage was something of great honour. However, the manner of entry was not right, this likely meant that it would be something wrong?

Bai Jing Hua's heart started pounding, he prayed that it would not be something too big.

Plant Sage glared at him for a moment before saying, "Summon all the members of the royalty immediately!"
