Chapitre 22: Chapter 564: I've Discovered Lady Nangong Li's Trail [Extra Chapter]
He Yiming shook his head, ignoring the unconscious Third Test newcomers. He quickly returned to the main hall and entered the sect master's room.
"One Yiming..." Upon entering the room, He Yiming noticed a different Nangong Li than usual.
Nangong Li's expression carried a hint of sorrow and desolation as she quietly looked at He Yiming.
"So, this day has finally come?" He Yiming sighed.
Nangong Li's time in the mortal realm had finally come to an end. The moment had arrived for her to return to the Upper Realm.
He Yiming hadn't failed to consider ways to help her, but unfortunately, all his attempts were futile. The Emperor's mark on Nangong Li's body was indestructible, not even the Heavenly Flame Demon Prison Heart Flame could destroy it.
As long as that Emperor's mark existed, Nangong Li couldn't escape the Emperor's pursuit. Even if He Yiming managed to erase the Emperor's mark and escort her to safety, her family, including her mother, grandfather, and clan members, would be annihilated once the Emperor's wrath was incurred.
"Don't worry, after I return to the Upper Realm, there will be some time before I accept the Emperor's power. If you say it's alright, I believe you."
"Once I gain the Emperor's power, my strength will definitely soar. Perhaps, I'll become even stronger than you!"
...
Nangong Li nestled in He Yiming's embrace, speaking softly.
"...," He Yiming was speechless.
Normally, when someone received the Emperor's mark, they would be bestowed immense power and have their emotions erased, becoming tools for the Emperor to gather destiny. The Emperor's Destiny technique was like a leech, attaching itself to Nangong Li and constantly absorbing the vast amount of destiny she gained.
However...
The Emperor's control of Destiny was known as the Servant of Destiny!
But He Yiming had mastered the Heavenly Destiny technique, the Lord of Destiny, and had previously applied it to Nangong Li. This not only protected her emotions from being sealed, but also allowed him to absorb the destiny she collected, becoming his own. Occasionally, he leaked a small portion to the Emperor, so the Emperor wouldn't notice.
This way, the Emperor, in turn, became He Yiming's tool.
Even so...
He Yiming still felt distressed. After all, even if Nangong Li possessed the Emperor's granted power, it didn't mean she was invincible. She could still perish while collecting destiny.
That was what He Yiming was most worried about!
"If you're worried about me, promise me that you'll come find me in the Upper Realm sooner!" Nangong Li whispered.
"Alright! I promise!" He Yiming suddenly spoke decisively.
After a brief moment of tenderness, He Yiming left the main hall and handed a jade slip to Ling Tianyu as he passed by.
Soon, Ling Tianyu received the jade slip from He Yiming.
"Hmm? Is this serious?" Ling Tianyu was somewhat stunned.
He Yiming had actually ordered him to report that he had discovered Nangong Li's trace?
"Is Yiming planning to return Lady Nangong to the Prison Master's Sanctum? No, that's not right!" Ling Tianyu's expression changed, and he gradually pieced together a horrifying possibility!
If He Yiming truly intended to return Nangong Li, he could have discreetly escorted her to the Prison Master's Sanctum!
However, He Yiming didn't do that. Instead, he publicized that he had found a trace of Nangong Li and was currently investigating the matter.
In this way, he would immediately earn favor from the Prison Master's Sanctum!
If he handled it well, when members of the Nangong family arrived in the mortal realm and came to the Prison Master's Sanctum, they would still have to rely on him to search for Nangong Li!
As long as he cooperated with He Yiming properly...
He could gain enormous prestige and merit!
"As long as the Prison Master of the Sanctum, Huo Tianya, is still alive, even if my prestige is high and my merits great, I can never replace Huo Tianya as the Sanctum's Master... unless..." Ling Tianyu suddenly brightened, fully understanding He Yiming's intention.
With Nangong Li's help, he could gain immense prestige and merits!
And once Huo Tianya vanished...
He, Ling Tianyu, would become the most prominent figure in the Prison Master's Sanctum without a doubt!
"But, Elder Ling Tianyu, if my authority becomes too great, what if I do something detrimental to the interests of the Prison Master's Sanctum?" Ling Tianyu hesitated.
Huo Tianya didn't even bother addressing the four Hall Masters' doubts. He was in no mood to answer them.
Damn it!
If I can't find Nangong Li...
Who knows if the Prison Master's Sanctum will be annihilated!
The Nangong family will definitely not let me off, and I'll be the first one they target!
Huo Tianya was more anxious than anyone!
"Yes, I'll obey your orders. Even if I die, I'll definitely find Lady Nangong!" Ling Tianyu immediately knelt down, loudly responding.
However, a hint of a smile tugged at the corner of Ling Tianyu's mouth.
At that moment...
"Is there any news about Rui'er?" a figure rushed in impatiently.
Surprisingly, it was Huo Tianya's son, the current generation's Young Master of the Prison Master's Sanctum!
Huo Wuji!
"For now, we've only managed to find a trace. Also, address Lady Nangong as 'Nangong Li'! If powerful figures from the Nangong family come and hear your nonsense, it will surely bring calamity upon you!" Huo Tianya said slowly.
"I understand, Father. Please allow me and Elder Ling Tianyu to search for Rui'er together!" Huo Wuji nodded without hesitation, then eagerly added, "Father, please let Elder Ling Tianyu take the lead in the search!"
"Fine, but remember, obey all of Elder Ling Tianyu's arrangements!"
"Yes!"
Huo Wuji was overjoyed and turned to Ling Tianyu.
Ling Tianyu also looked at Huo Wuji.
Instantly, a smile couldn't help but emerge on Ling Tianyu's face.
Huo Wuji, this fool, could also be considered one of Yiming's enemies. After all... Huo Wuji didn't really qualify as He Yiming's love rival!
Since this fool willingly came to him!
Then...
Ling Tianyu might as well extend a gift to He Yiming as well...
