Wang Mu was startled. He remembered his first time searching for treasure in the mountains. He had met Feng Ji in disguise on the way, and it was after that that he met the Dark Phoenix Clan princess.

After jokingly telling the Phoenix Princess to leave, he went to the top of the mountain. Later, he went down through the stone cave that stood on the mountaintop and found a strange eye hanging in mid-air in the square, with the four words 'Belpanta' faintly visible inside.

After returning to the academy, I searched through many ancient manuscripts, but I couldn't find any relevant records about Belpanta. As time went by, I forgot about it.

"Young man, young man."

Hearing Nicola's call, Wang Mu came back to his senses.

"Young man, what happened?"

"No, no, I just remembered something."

Nicola said, "Young man, it seems you have something to do. I'll leave you here."

"Okay." Wang Mu didn't say much, nodded, and went to chase after the person who had spoken in secret.

Watching the boy leave, Nicola was filled with mixed emotions.

At this moment, she thought to herself, "This world is a dog-eat-dog world, full of deceit and treachery. We never know what tomorrow will bring. I and the Emperor were just strangers who met by chance, but we have become acquainted and, over time, we have developed this trust in each other. It is truly rare."

She stood there, lost in thought. The Emperor had promised to find three drops of the Frost Dragon's blood for her, originally for a year. Not a year had passed yet, but unexpectedly, this person had already gained strength comparable to a level nine magical beast.

Whether for oneself or for one's family, it is essential to cultivate relationships with someone like the Emperor. The war between the alien races is imminent, and in the chaos of war, having a strong person as a source of protection provides not only for one's life but also for one's dignity.

As for Wang Mu, after chasing for a while, he didn't find the person who was talking in secret. However, he did catch up with the luxurious carriage, which was now stopped in front of a restaurant.

Holy Emperor Delin, Empress Doreen, and their three legitimate sons and daughters, along with Princess Lixue, will be going to Red Moon Academy tomorrow.

The Empress was even more reluctant to part with her child, especially since Princess Lixue had almost been attacked and killed in the Illusion Moon Empire last year, and Emperor Delin had originally intended to investigate the matter.

Later, Ba Chen sent back the princess's secret letter, and to this day, no one except him knows the contents of the letter. He then recalled the palace's powerful figures, and the matter was dropped.

Emperor Delin and Empress Doreen doted on Princess Lixue from a young age.

Even now, they are still shaken by what happened, and since he is by their side, they naturally want to spend more time with him.

Princess Lixue, along with her parents and two elder brothers, had left the noisy palace and enjoyed a rare moment of peace.

In addition, Princess Xuya of the Phoenix Clan came not long ago. The two were cousins ​​who played together very well when they were young and usually kept in touch. After hearing Princess Xuya of the Phoenix Clan say that they were going to Red Moon Academy together to secretly investigate the sect, he came to find her.

Lixue certainly had no doubts. The emperor, empress, and two princes hadn't seen Xuya for a long time, so they were naturally overjoyed.

Today is January 13th. The two girls discussed that they would be setting off for the academy tomorrow, so they took advantage of this short time to stroll around the streets and buy some things.

In a luxurious carriage, Li Xue was accompanied only by her maid Wan'er, with Xu Ya beside her.

The Phoenix Princess changed into the attire of a palace princess and applied simple makeup. No ordinary person would guess that the girl in front of them was the current Princess of the Li Yan Phoenix Clan.

"Cousin, what are you looking at?" The Phoenix Princess noticed that the princess was staring outside, as if her soul was not here.

The princess snapped out of her daze and turned to look at her cousin, her face showing a mixture of confusion, surprise, and excitement.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ya asked, "Cousin, what's wrong?"

"I saw him, but what's he doing here?"

The princess looked outside again and finally confirmed it was him. Overjoyed, she couldn't help but tell him.

"Who?"

"The Emperor." Li Xue didn't hide anything from her cousin.

Now it was Xu Ya's turn to be very surprised. The Emperor had secretly gone up the sacred mountain on the day of the underworld to meet her, but she hadn't told her cousin. She was also worried about where to find this person, but she never expected to see him here.

She sent people from her sect to search everywhere, but they couldn't find the other party's whereabouts.

This is understandable. Wang Mu had been traversing desolate mountains and wilderness, and now it was freezing cold, so the cultists' spies couldn't find their target immediately.

"Cousin, you're not seeing things, are you? How could he possibly be in Mengwei City?" Xuya asked anxiously.

At this moment, she secretly calculated in her mind that this place was thousands of kilometers away from the holy mountain. How could this person have arrived here all at once, unless he used a spatial spiritual energy array to teleport?

Li Xue thought the Emperor was on leave and had just arrived here. She wanted to get off the carriage to look for him, but since she was with the Phoenix Princess, how could she leave her cousin behind? So she had to hold back.

At this moment, she said, "I didn't see wrong, it really is him. He may have been training outside and just happened to come to Mengwei City."

After she finished speaking, she lifted the curtain, but people were coming and going on the street, and in less than half a minute, there was no trace of that person.

"How come I can't see it?" Xu Ya said, searching through the crowd.

The princess was anxious and regretful, but then she thought that as long as the emperor was still in Mengwei City, she could send people to search again after returning home and they would surely find him. With this thought, she calmed down.

She glanced out the window a few more times before remembering that the Phoenix Princess was right beside her. She looked away and then at her cousin's expression, wondering why her cousin's behavior was so strange.

She looked outside again and said, "I just saw him come out of that shop."

Following the princess's finger, Xuya recognized the shop as a branch of the Knight family and said, "Then let's stop quickly and go find him."

"Cousin, why are you so concerned about the Emperor?" Lixue was taken aback and quickly asked.

At this moment, she thought to herself that even on the street, she had to consider her status as a princess. Her cousin was a princess of the Li Yan Phoenix Clan, whose status was much higher than hers.

The Phoenix Princess quickly said, "This guy doesn't take me seriously at all and is bullying me."

Upon hearing this, the princess assumed her cousin was referring to the time at the academy when not only did she fail to summon the emperor, but the people she sent were also beaten up by him.

Thinking of this, she laughed and said, "Cousin, I didn't expect you to still remember what happened at the academy last year. That's just the kind of person he is."

Xu Ya lowered the curtains and, seeing her cousin's expression, was secretly startled, her eyes fixed on the princess.

Lixue couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked, "Cousin, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Lixue, are you talking to the Emperor?"

The princess blushed and said hurriedly, "Cousin, are you looking for the Emperor? He's in this city. Let's go back immediately and ask my brother to send people to search for him. I believe it won't be difficult to find him."

Although Xu Ya had doubts about her cousin, she thought that their social statuses were too different and that she might be overthinking it. She had heard that they had been on the same team during the last academy training camp, so perhaps they were just familiar with each other.
