All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Chapter 217 The conspiracy resurfaces

Upon hearing her words, Teng Rou stopped hesitating about helping on the other side.

Feng Ning didn't waste any more words with her. Anyway, things were almost clear, so whether she admitted it or not wasn't that important.

She took action immediately.

Kuang Qian and she were both at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage.

Kuang Qian was still somewhat arrogant. "Don't think that just because you're at the same level as me, you can beat me. I've been at this level for several years, which is something someone like you who just broke through can't compare to."

Feng Ning's smile widened. "You useless piece of trash who can't break through, do you think this is something to brag about? Do you know what my previous level was? It was the third level of the Golden Core stage. I skipped levels three at a time, you piece of trash."

Kuang Qian's eyes widened, clearly in disbelief.

Feng Ning gently raised her hand, and three flying swords flew to her side.

They are Silver Spirit, Divine Arts, and Sparrow Tower.

"Three shots will be enough to deal with you."

Kuang Qian refused to admit defeat; how could she possibly accept such an obvious insult?

She flew into a rage on the spot, grabbed her sword, and charged forward.

Feng Ning fought with her, and in less than a dozen rounds, she kicked Kuang Qian away.

"No way, are you that bad? You're supposed to be a personal disciple of an elder of the Flowing Moon Sect, how come you couldn't even withstand a dozen of my moves?"

She clicked her tongue twice, "Tsk tsk, how useless."

Without any hesitation, she swung her sword directly at his heart.

Kuang Qian's eyes widened in shock, and she stopped breathing.

But things weren't as simple as she thought. Kuang Qian had stopped breathing, and her golden core hadn't separated from her body.

Instead, her body turned into a puppet.

She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then came to a conclusion.

"Puppetry..."

She stepped forward and examined it closely. Indeed, the wound on the severed arm was left by her hair.

So the person in front of me is just a puppet?

What about the real Kuang Qian?

Could she be at the Liuyue Sect? If so, that would be really troublesome. If we want revenge in the future, she probably won't come out again.

She was quite disappointed.

Then they went directly to the city lord's courtyard.

He was much better than his daughter; she was much easier to deal with and had already obediently faced her death.

The entire city lord's mansion was in chaos; some fled, others fought.

Feng Ning walked over to the two of them as soon as she saw them.

Teng Rou asked, "How is she? Is she dead?"

Feng Ning shook her head and released the puppet from her spatial storage. "That's just a puppet; her real body isn't here."

Teng Rou stepped forward and looked at it for a while; her expression was also very unpleasant.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Yuan said, "This puppet is very crudely made; it can't be controlled from too far away."

"You mean, she's nearby?" Teng Rou asked.

Ye Yuan replied, "Yes."

Feng Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good. If we were too far apart, I was really afraid she would hide like a turtle and not come out."

Thinking of this, she decided not to wait any longer. "Then we'll go after her now. We absolutely cannot let her leave."

Without a word, the two chased after him.

Xuanwu City was thrown into chaos after its city lord was suddenly assassinated. However, the chaos only lasted for a few days before a new city lord took over.

Everything is calm.

After Feng Ning and the others chased after her, she quietly released many Qing Si's. With Qing Si's help, they would be able to find her soon.

Ye Yuan certainly noticed her subtle actions, but he didn't say anything.

Feng Ning didn't expect to be able to hide it from him; he already knew all about her little tricks anyway.

However, Teng Rou's mental strength and perception were not strong enough to detect Qing Si.

After chasing for two days, Feng Ning finally stopped.

"What's wrong? Did you sense something?" Teng Rou immediately released her mental perception, but still found nothing.

Feng Ning nodded. "We have discovered some."

She pulled Teng Rou aside, and Ye Yuan resignedly followed behind.

After flying for a short while, Feng Ning stopped on a mountain.

"She's here?" Teng Rou asked, puzzled. "But this place is bare, there's nothing here, nowhere to hide."

She looked thoughtfully at the ground, wondering if they had dug a hole and crawled inside.

Feng Ning closed her eyes to investigate. The rest of her hair had no intelligence, so it could only detect information but not anything else.

Feng Ning examined her for a while and shook her head. "I could still sense her presence before, but it stopped after we got here."

Teng Rou still couldn't sense anything. "But how could a living person just suddenly disappear?"

Feng Ning couldn't understand why he had suddenly disappeared.

Ye Yuan, however, quietly remarked, "There are two people's presences here. Could she have been rescued?"

Feng Ning raised an eyebrow. "Even if she left, she shouldn't have left no trace. Did you put her in your spatial dimension and fly away?"

Teng Rou immediately dismissed the idea, saying, "That's impossible."

Feng Ning was somewhat surprised, "Why is it impossible?"

Teng Rou was even more surprised than him, "Space can only hold inanimate objects, how can you put a living person inside? Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Feng Ning glanced at Ye Yuan silently. Whoever said that the person in front of him was someone else could crawl into the bracelet himself.

Ye Yuan pretended to be serious and didn't say anything.

Feng Ning thought for a moment, then shook her head. "The world is vast and full of wonders. Perhaps there really are people who can create a space that can hold living beings."

Teng Rou didn't refute anymore, but asked, "But if that's the case, then wouldn't we have no idea where she is?"

Feng Ning didn't want to admit it, but that was the truth.

They could only return to Tianxuan Sect for the time being; their mission was complete, and they could go back now.

However, the two were unaware that a much larger conspiracy awaited them upon their return.

They were summoned to the main peak the moment they returned to the sect.

The two were still somewhat confused.

However, when they saw Kuang Qian and Song Changhe in the main hall, they suddenly understood.

There's something fishy going on here.

They weren't in a hurry, and obediently went inside, put their luggage behind them, and then stepped aside.

Then the sect leader said, "Alright, they're here now. Just tell me what's bothering you."

Song Changhe immediately burst into tears, “Sect Master, I have been in Tianxuan Sect for decades. I have worked hard even if I have no merit. I only have one daughter, and now I can only watch as an old man with white hair goes from black hair to white hair. My heart is full of bitterness.”

The sect leader frowned almost imperceptibly. What did this mean? Why was he suddenly asking for help regarding his daughter's death?

He glanced at Song Changhe, then at the two of them, as if he knew something.
