CHAPTER 895: CHAPTER 889: NEWS OF LING QIANXUE

"What just happened?"

After the Headless Emperor left, Nangong Yao finally opened her eyes, looking bewildered.

"The Headless Emperor just helped you activate your physique, greatly increasing your power."

Ye Xuan looked at Nangong Yao and said calmly.

"What? The Headless Emperor?"

Nangong Yao stared at the headless figure moving away, her face full of complexities.

"Do you know who he is to you?"

Ye Xuan asked.

"I don’t know; I just feel a sense of familiarity. Seeing his downfall evokes an inexplicable sadness in me, even though I don’t know him at all."

Nangong Yao shook her head.

"It’s alright if you don’t know; you’ll find out in the future. Let’s go in."

Ye Xuan didn’t dwell on such matters. He patted Nangong Yao on the shoulder and then turned to walk towards the ship’s cabin.

This matter could probably only be clarified from the mouths of those Sealing Emperor strong people; thinking too much is useless.

The issue with the Headless Emperor was just a small interlude and soon passed. After another three days of travel, the Void Divine Ship reached the Heaven Port of the Western Realm.

"We’ve finally arrived."

After reaching Heaven Port, Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao immediately disembarked from the Void Divine Ship.

After parting with Hua Yinger, Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao arrived in the largest city near Heaven Port. The streets were bustling and crowded with people.

"Since we’re in the Western Realm, let’s first try to find out about Senior Sister Ling’s whereabouts."

Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao found an inn and sat by a window. They both thought of Ling Qianxue; since there was no news of her in the Eastern Realm, she must be in the Western Realm.

But before doing that, Ye Xuan needed to fully recover from his injuries before doing anything else. With careful nurturing, his body was nearly healed after four or five days.

After resting for four or five days, they went to a place called "Divine Mechanism Pavilion." This pavilion was a famous intelligence agency in the Western Realm; it was rumored that there was no information here that couldn’t be found.

The Divine Mechanism Pavilion had many counters, each managed by a specialist, and covered different areas such as personal information, major events in the Western Realm, and even heavenly treasures and strange items, almost omnipotent.

However, obtaining information from the Divine Mechanism Pavilion undoubtedly came at a significant cost, with prices so high that many were deterred.

The person responsible for personal information was an old man with white hair but a lively spirit. After searching, Ye Xuan finally found this counter.

He relayed Ling Qianxue’s information to the old man.

"I’ll try to find her for you."

The old man closed his eyes, clearly using a Secret Technique to track information from the vast scrolls.

"Found it."

Soon, the old man found the needed scroll. He opened it, glanced at it, and stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Indeed, there is such a person. She was last seen in the Western Realm three months ago. This woman’s true form is the Heaven Emperor Mirror, which has caused a great upheaval in the Western Realm."

"What, she revealed her own secret?"

Ye Xuan frowned. The Heaven Emperor Mirror was the top item on the Strange Object List. Many must covet it; once exposed, it would inevitably attract attention. With Ling Qianxue’s current strength, it’s likely difficult for her to protect herself in the Western Realm.

"Is there no further news?"

Ye Xuan’s expression was a bit grim; with this scant information, finding someone would be as hard as reaching the heavens.

"If you truly wish to find this woman, my friend, you can check Unsullied City. That’s where she was last seen near." the old man said.

"Thank you."

Ye Xuan cupped his hands in thanks and quickly pulled Nangong Yao out of the Divine Mechanism Pavilion.

"I hope we’re not too late."

Ye Xuan looked at Nangong Yao, fearing he would regret it for life if anything happened to Ling Qianxue.

"We should hurry to Unsullied City."

Nangong Yao patted Ye Xuan’s shoulder.

"Let’s go!"

Ye Xuan nodded, and then both of them disappeared from the spot, heading for the transmission array in the western part of the city.

...

Western Realm, Unsullied City.

"So this is Unsullied City."

Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao appeared on the city’s street. Unsullied City was teeming with martial artists and adventurers, including some with formidable presences.

"Latest news from the Western Realm: Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace is offering a heavenly price to find the girl who embodies the Heaven Emperor Mirror. Anyone who can provide her location can take in their extravagant bounty!"

Just as Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao arrived, a voice rang out from a stone platform, causing his expression to change slightly. He turned his head to follow the sound and saw a small-framed man, holding a stack of papers and sticking them onto stone pillars.

By then, a crowd of curious onlookers had gathered around, clearly interested in this man’s words about the Heaven Emperor Mirror girl.

Ye Xuan’s expression turned slightly grim. The so-called Mirror Girl must be referring to Ling Qianxue. It was unexpected that Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace would go to such lengths searching for her.

Indeed, news of the Heaven Emperor Mirror would inevitably arouse interest from all sides.

His eyes flickered slightly, and Ye Xuan slowly approached the small man. With a flick of his wrist, a suction force pulled the papers from the man’s hand. A glance revealed a beautiful woman’s portrait, though it looked slightly blurry, Ye Xuan immediately recognized it as Ling Qianxue.

"Heh, this young brother must be new to the Western Realm, huh? This woman is the legendary embodiment of the Heaven Emperor Mirror. She recently caused a massive stir in the Western Realm, evading many forces’ joint ambushes." The small man looked at Ye Xuan with a fawning smile. Though he lacked strength, he had a keen eye and could tell this young man wasn’t someone to provoke.

Clutching the papers tightly, Ye Xuan turned his gaze to the man, speaking calmly, "What else do you know?" As he spoke, he tossed out a bag of Spirit Crystals.

The small man’s face lit up with joy as he caught the bag, his ingratiating demeanor intensifying. He quickly said, "Sir, you too have an interest in the Mirror Girl. You should know, Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace delights in collecting strange treasures. The Heaven Emperor Mirror is ranked second among the top ten strange objects. Three months ago, Heavenly Palace experts found the Mirror Girl, and that battle was brutal. They deployed the Treasure Seeking Hall, Appraisal Hall, and Holy Treasure Hall’s three Hall Masters. Heh, these three are well-known in the Central Domain, all at the level of Seventh Grade Martial Saints. The Holy Treasure Hall’s Hall Master is even an Extreme Martial Saint."

Ye Xuan’s eyelid twitched, and his voice slowly became deeper: "And what was the outcome?"
