Chapter 2228: Chapter 2228: Tracking Technique

He wants to succeed, so he must strike from within, just as I did, and thus, he is sure to remain in Luo City, waiting for the right moment.

“Hmm, indeed.”

An Jiuyue nodded.

“Then let us start our search from within the palace,” she said.

“Huh?”

The New Sovereign Emperor and the chancellor, along with others, were all stunned upon hearing her words.

Start the search from the palace?

The New Sovereign Emperor’s eyes narrowed as a voice in his heart told him that it’s highly possible the Former Sovereign Emperor is still in the palace.

When it comes to the safest place to stay and to receive the most accurate information instantly, there is no place better than the palace. From here, everything is within view, and anything one wishes to know can be obtained.

“Of course, the palace! How did I not think of that?” General Rong clapped his hands in excitement upon hearing this suggestion.

He had ordered his men to track several confidants of the Former Sovereign Emperor, none of whom had ever left the palace. Yet, he had overlooked these individuals and failed to strengthen the surveillance on them.

Perhaps they weren’t refusing to leave the palace, but rather, they didn’t need to leave.

Because their master is right here, inside the palace!

“Your Majesty… High Priest, my lords, I will immediately send someone to search. This time, we will surely find the Late Emperor!” Overcome with excitement, he momentarily forgot that they were still in the palace.

“General Rong, wait!”

Just as General Rong was about to leave, the Sovereign Emperor quickly spoke up to stop him.

Even if the Former Sovereign Emperor was indeed hiding in the palace, the High Priest Demon Heart was also here. Without her command, they could not act recklessly.

“Do not alert him unnecessarily. The Former Sovereign Emperor is incredibly cunning. Any disturbance in the palace might prompt him to flee.” He cautioned.

And he deeply believed that the Former Sovereign Emperor had the capability to escape. In such a vast palace, who knew how many secret tunnels the Former Sovereign Emperor had at his disposal? If he truly managed to escape, the consequences would be immeasurable.

“Ugh.”

Rong Xingye felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over his enthusiasm, forcing him to calm down.

Indeed, making too much commotion could very likely alert the Former Sovereign Emperor. If he escaped yet again, what would they do?

This man was a scourge. He absolutely could not be allowed to escape. He must be caught—or eliminated outright. In any case, he must no longer be left to harm the people.

An Jiuyue watched them and let out a soft sigh.

She hadn’t said for sure that the Former Sovereign Emperor was in the palace. But regardless of where he was, as long as it was within Luo City, they were heading in the right direction.

“High Priest, my Leng family has a Tracking Technique. As long as we have an item that belonged to the individual we want to track, we can locate them,” Leng Yikun spoke up.

He had wanted to mention this earlier but had waited to hear if the New Sovereign Emperor or the other officials had any better ideas.

Who would have thought that these individuals genuinely had no better plans? They couldn’t even locate a single person.

Hearing his words, An Jiuyue only cast a faint glance his way without speaking. However, Yuu Rong became intrigued and nudged him playfully with his elbow.

“Impressive, Yi Kun. Your Leng family has such a skill, huh?”

This ability was valuable anywhere. With it, Yi Kun would surely secure his position within the Demon Heart Hall in the future.

“Let me try my own method first. If I fail, then I’ll seek your help,” An Jiuyue said, dismissing Leng Yikun’s offer and instead delegating the matter to Wei Na.

She was, of course, aware of the Leng family’s Tracking Technique, having learned about it during her time with them.

However, using this technique drained a great deal of the caster’s energy and cultivation level. Leng Yikun’s health was not yet fully restored. If he used the Tracking Technique now, who knew how long it would take for him to recover afterward?
