Chapter 2227: Chapter 2227: Still in Luo City

After listening to their conversation, she couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. It seemed that this person was indeed difficult to find.

She sat down on a nearby chair, placed the little baby on her lap, then looked up at the Monarch Emperor and his attendants. “Monarch Emperor, please send someone to fetch some items previously used by the Former Sovereign Emperor.”

Since they couldn’t find him, then she would take matters into her own hands.

The throne had already been vacated for her; all that remained was the final step—dealing with the Former Sovereign Emperor. Such a simple task, she couldn’t afford to drag it out for too long.

“Understood, High Priest. I will order someone to retrieve them immediately,” he replied.

The Monarch Emperor wasn’t sure what An Jiuyue intended to do, but there were plenty of belongings of the Former Sovereign Emperor within the palace. He could have someone bring them over right away.

After answering, he turned to glance at the Eunuch Supervisor beside him.

Receiving his signal, the Eunuch Supervisor immediately retreated from the imperial study room to dispatch someone to collect the personal effects of the Former Sovereign Emperor.

“Wei Na, can you find him?”

Ignoring a few trembling attendants, she directed her question to Wei Na within the space.

That wretched thing was hiding, and finding him was indeed proving to be a bit tricky. The key problem was that this person didn’t dare to show his face.

“I’ll give it a try. It would be much better if there were a portrait of that wretched thing,” Wei Na said with a pout.

Tracking someone using the lingering aura on old belongings was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Even for him, it was no easy feat.

But a portrait was a different matter. With an image, he could work off that and locate the person. As long as they were still in Luo City, he would certainly be able to pull that wretched thing out.

“A portrait?”

An Jiuyue raised her head, glanced at the Monarch Emperor, and shook her head.

“Don’t place your hopes on a portrait. Even if one exists, you’re not going to find the person based on it.”

Since he was hiding and evading the numerous people the Monarch Emperor had dispatched to search for him, it was clear that this wasn’t an ordinary hiding effort.

Disguises and such were not exclusive to those around the New Sovereign Emperor. If the Former Sovereign Emperor had managed to outwit the New Sovereign Emperor, it was already clear that he knew the survival methods necessary for his current situation.

Disguising himself was certainly within his capability. To locate him, they would have to rely on those personal effects.

“If there’s no portrait, then it might take a little more time,” Wei Na replied, making a concession.

There was no helping it. Identifying someone by aura required checking each individual one by one. It wasn’t as if he could just scan the area and immediately lock onto the person, so the search was bound to take some time.

Moreover, the fact that people’s auras could resemble one another made the process even more complicated.

“Spending a bit more time is not an issue, as long as the person can eventually be found.” An Jiuyue was not concerned about the time. If she had to stay here a few extra days, so be it. It would give her a chance to take a stroll in the meantime.

After concluding her conversation with Wei Na, she turned her gaze back to the New Sovereign Emperor.

“Where do you think the Former Sovereign Emperor might be hiding?”

“Well…”

The New Sovereign Emperor looked perplexed by the question.

Both the Prime Minister and General Rong had dispatched their forces, and not a single target on their list had been overlooked, yet they had still failed to locate the Former Sovereign Emperor.

As for where he might be hiding, how was he supposed to figure that out on the spot?

“High Priest, I believe the Former Sovereign Emperor is likely still within Luo City,” he said finally, providing the most plausible assumption he could muster. After all, the Former Sovereign Emperor would have to wait until the High Priest Demon Heart and the others became impatient and left before he could reemerge to make his next move.

If he left Luo City, what if he never found the opportunity to return?

The Former Sovereign Emperor clearly wasn’t a fool; he had to understand that once news of his survival reached the New Sovereign Emperor, security would be significantly tightened.
