Mu Feng Divine King continued, "In response to your excellency, Rou'er did not specify who this person is."
Snow Shadow Celestial Master maintained her aloof demeanor, her gaze piercing through the air as if searching for hidden truths.
"Since she did not clarify, it seems we must investigate further," she stated with a hint of contemplation.
Mu Feng Divine King nodded, understanding the weight of the situation. "Shall I summon her then? Perhaps she can provide more insight."
With a wave of her hand, Snow Shadow Celestial Master dismissed the suggestion. "No need for haste. Let her come in her own time. The essence of the matter lies not just in the identity of this old friend, but in the implications surrounding it."
The atmosphere grew tense as both figures contemplated the mystery ahead, the unspoken questions lingering in the air like a dense fog.
Upon hearing this, Snow Shadow Celestial Master fell into deep thought, pondering, "Old friend, in my heart, apart from the spirit clan, there is no one who can be called an old friend."
"Why would Xuan Yuan Rou say such a thing?"
After a moment of contemplation, Snow Shadow Celestial Master said, "Very well, since I have a connection with Xuan Yuan Rou, I will go to the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm."
"However, let me make it clear in advance, if Xuan Yuan Rou is just teasing me, then she and you will never be spared!"
Mu Feng Divine King could only nod in agreement, while he, too, was puzzled about how his recognized granddaughter could convince Snow Shadow Celestial Master not to reveal that Tan Yun was the murderer after using the great propagation technique.
"You go wait outside the Supreme Hall of Time and Space for me," Snow Shadow Celestial Master instructed. "After I speak with my master, I will meet you at the Supreme Hall of Time and Space."
Inside the Supreme Hall of Time and Space mentioned by Snow Shadow Celestial Master, a time-space tunnel leading to the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm, which takes the least time, was being opened.
...
Time passed quickly, and the seasons changed.
At the border of the Primordial Chaos Divine Realm, in the Supreme Military City.
All the soldiers in the city knew that Mu Feng Divine King had invited Snow Shadow Celestial Master.
In the minds of the soldiers, the murderer would reveal themselves today!
At this moment, Snow Shadow Celestial Master followed behind Mu Feng Divine King, stepping coldly into the Divine King's Mansion.
"Where is Xuan Yuan Rou?" Snow Shadow Celestial Master asked.
"She should be in the VIP Lounge," Mu Feng Divine King replied. "I'll go call Rou'er over."
"No need, just take me there. I will find her myself," Snow Shadow Celestial Master said unequivocally.
"Alright." Mu Feng Divine King led Snow Shadow Celestial Master towards the VIP Lounge where Tan Yun was located.
Upon entering the VIP Lounge, Mu Feng Divine King allowed Bai Cheng Divine King to receive Snow Shadow Celestial Master in the hall on the first floor, while he went to report to Lingxia Celestial Master about inviting Snow Shadow Celestial Master.
"Please wait, Your Excellency," Bai Cheng Divine King said after having Snow Shadow Celestial Master take a seat. He then transmitted a message to Tan Yun, who was in seclusion on the second floor.
Inside the Tower of Ascending to the Heavens, Tan Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and transmitted to Xuan Yuan Rou, "Rou'er, your daughter has arrived."
"Buzz——"
As the void trembled, Xuan Yuan Rou instantly appeared in front of Tan Yun, excitedly asking, "Where is your daughter?"
"She's in the hall on the first floor," Tan Yun replied.
"Let's go, we need to hurry down," Xuan Yuan Rou said, pulling Tan Yun as they stepped out of the Divine Tower. Tan Yun stored the tower in his ear and held Xuan Yuan Rou's hand as they arrived at the hall on the first floor.
Snow Shadow Celestial Master stood up and said, "Xuan Yuan Rou, tell me, where is my old friend?"
Before Xuan Yuan Rou could speak, a voice echoed in her mind, it was Mu Feng Divine King's voice, "Rou'er, Lingxia Celestial Master has arrived."
