He quickly returned to his residence. His subordinates had been waiting for him for a long time, and when they saw him return, they reported to him, “My Lord, the West Hall and several nearby palaces have been searched, but no traces of Tian Wu Zhu were found.”
This is also expected by Si TuZhao, he said, “Continue the search. It must be somewhere near the West Hall.”
In fact, he couldn’t notice any aura from Tian Wu Zhu at all, but he guessed that Huo Xiu would probably carry the Tian Wu Zhu with him and would not easily place it somewhere.
It seemed that Tian Wu Zhu had not made any move for now, so he would just search around the West Hall for a few days. Anyway, he was not in a hurry nor was he worried at all; it should be Huo Xiu who should be worrying.
Huo Xiu didn’t rest for the whole night. Just before he was about to take a nap, the devils came again to search along with some servants.
He restrained his anger and asked, “Didn’t you guys just search here? Did you just forget that you just left?”
The leading devil didn’t even look him in the eyes, and ordered people to continue searching. “The Lord has issued an order, and told us that the treasure must be nearby. It’s our fault that we didn’t find any traces last night, so we will continue to search today.”
The Immortal Emperor has passed down the order that no one should disobey the Devil Lord’s orders. Huo Xiu’s face turned gloomy and he walked out of the palace to look for the Immortal Emperor.
When he arrived in the Immortal Emperor’s Hall, Si TuZhao was also there, and he was playing chess with the Immortal Emperor.
Si TuZhao saw him coming, and even greeted him like nothing had happened. “Morning, General Huo.”
Huo Xiu walked up and saluted, he then said in a questioning tone, “Good morning, Devil Lord, the people you arranged to search in my hall day and night. Don’t you want to go and see it?”
The Immortal Emperor raised his eyes and glanced at him, Huo Xiu hurriedly knelt down.
“Immortal Emperor, please forgive my rude speech, but I really don’t understand why they only search in my palace? They already searched my palace all night and just left in the morning, but then they came again in a blink of an eye, this……”
Huo Xiu looked upset, acting as if he was deliberately targeted and humiliated by Si TuZhao, that he couldn’t help but speak up about the injustice that he had felt, but he was also scared to offend Si TuZhao.
Si TuZhao put down a chess piece in his hand and put on a fake smile. “I also want to ask General Huo, why does the aura of treasure keep appearing near the West Hall? I heard that there’s some rumors when I first came to the Immortal Palace……”
“The Devil Lord also said that it’s a rumor.” Huo Xiu raised his head and looked straight at Si TuZhao. “I have already reported this to the Immortal Emperor. Someone intentionally framed me. At that time, one of my subordinates had disappeared coincidentally. I suspect that he has already been killed. I have also never heard of the treasures that the Devil Lord had mentioned.”
“Oh, I see,” Si Tuzhao listened carefully and nodded. “I got it, but do you have any idea who framed you?”
Somehow Xi Ning was still the son of the Immortal Emperor. Huo Xiu had also hinted to the Immortal Emperor that there were also many low-level devils in the Immortal Palace, but it seemed there’s one devil serving Xi Ning that had gone missing for no reason. However, the Immortal Emperor was unmoved, so he didn’t mention it further.
Now that Si TuZhao appeared, he naturally knew that it was Si TuZhao who was disguised as Chu Yi and lurking next to Xi Ning. When Si TuZhao asked again at this time. Huo Xiu continued the conversation and said, “Immortal Emperor, please forgive my rudeness, but I do suspect one person……”
The Immortal Emperor said, “It’s alright, you can just say it.”
“I suspect that it’s…… the seventh prince.”
Huo Xiu had been prepared and explained it from the beginning. “A while ago, I had captured a few spirits who were causing trouble outside, and when they were brought back to the Immortal Palace for disposal, the seventh prince appeared inexplicably and took these spirits away. There was also a low-level devil. When there are devils that have sneaked into the Immortal Palace and caused one death and one injury. I kept an eye on it and found that the low-level devil that served the seventh prince happened to be missing.”
