Unable to figure out this result.

Luna simply stood up, pushed open the door, and walked outside.

"State Preceptor."

The palace attendants outside seemed somewhat surprised when they saw Luna.

Everyone who saw Luna prostrated themselves on the ground.

For this mysterious State Preceptor, the fear in their hearts was deeper than their faith.

Although this State Preceptor only appeared to be somewhat ethereal and otherworldly,

she always gave them a feeling of being extremely dangerous.

Luna ignored the attendants prostrating on the ground and quickened her pace, heading rapidly toward Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters.

Her personal strength seemed unable to protect the Yin-Yang School.

In that scene, she had seen with her own eyes that she died miserably at the hands of that youth.

After careful consideration, Luna felt she could only rely on the power of Great Qin.

Because of her seclusion, Luna did not know about the plan that Donghuang Taiyi had previously plotted with Wang Ben and Feng Quji.

While rushing to Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters, she looked at the Imperial Guards shuttling through the palace.

Luna's brows furrowed slightly; she suddenly felt a strange sensation.

Approaching Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters, she discovered that they were already heavily guarded.

"State Preceptor, please stay your steps."

The soldiers guarding the outside spoke immediately upon seeing Luna.

"Inform His Majesty that I have important matters to report to him."

Luna spoke, her melodious voice coming from beneath her veil.

The soldier naturally knew Luna's status and nodded without hesitation, turning to walk inside.

After dealing with Donghuang Taiyi and that group of rebellious traitors.

Ying Zheng and the others had not yet had time to enter the sleeping quarters when they saw the approaching soldier.

"Your Majesty, the State Preceptor requests an audience."

The soldier knelt on the ground and said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng did not expect the State Preceptor to appear here.

His eyes grew deeper at this moment.

Last time, it was because of the appearance of Star Soul that the man in black had escaped.

Although he had suspicions about Star Soul, because Star Soul had saved him,

Ying Zheng had not rashly investigated these State Preceptors.

Could it be that Star Soul had come again?

"Let her in."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

He did not know what the State Preceptor wanted by coming here.

But tonight, he had already thought of countermeasures to deal with these demons and monsters.

Not long after Ying Zheng's order was passed on, Luna's graceful figure walked in from outside.

Upon seeing this figure, Ying Zheng was somewhat surprised.

He had thought the State Preceptor coming tonight was Star Soul.

"What brings the State Preceptor to see me so late at night?"

Ying Zheng spoke calmly.

"Your Majesty, tonight I foresaw some scenes that might briefly solve the problem of the drought in the Northwest."

Luna spoke, her cold, clear voice coming from beneath her veil once again.

This was the excuse she had thought of on her way here.

After all, even though she was the State Preceptor, she could not rashly appear in Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters.

To appear in Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters, there had to be a proper reason.

Before going into seclusion, she knew that Ying Zheng was troubled by the drought in the Northwest.

So using the Northwest drought as a reason for coming was perfectly fine.

"During this period, this subject has been in seclusion, and I have gained some insights during my seclusion."

"It seems there is a way to solve the Northwest drought."

Luna said.

At the time she arrived, Lu Li had not yet taken Donghuang Taiyi away.

So Donghuang Taiyi was still lying wretchedly on the ground.

But Luna's gaze did not seem to notice him at all.

Ying Mo's eyes flickered as they landed on Luna.

Then he looked at Donghuang Taiyi, who was lying on the ground and seemed completely unable to move.

He had actually long suspected the identity of this man in black.

After all, there were not many experts in the whole world who could reach this level.

But seeing Luna's indifferent expression, he felt some doubt again.

He pondered for a moment.

A leaf was shot out from his hand.

The leaf pierced into Donghuang Taiyi's back.

A painful grunt came from Donghuang Taiyi's mouth.

This familiar sound caused Luna's expression to change immediately.

But this change was very slight.

Coupled with the fact that Luna always wore a veil,

Ying Zheng did not notice Luna's slight movement at all.

But Ying Mo, who had been observing Luna, caught her slight change.

"Has the State Preceptor calculated what will happen tonight?"

Ying Mo suddenly spoke.

With his black robe and this strange mask,

Luna had long been suspicious of Ying Mo's identity.

Thinking of the Ghost who had always been an enemy of her Yin-Yang School, Luna immediately determined this person's identity.

"Your Excellency Ghost."

"My mind has been focused on the Northwest drought recently."

"Coupled with my seclusion, I really don't know what happened tonight."

Luna knew that this person was very difficult to deal with.

Plus, after hearing the grunt just now, she immediately knew that the figure lying on the ground was indeed the leader.

Luna immediately thought of the scene she had foreseen earlier, in which the leader seemed to be completely absent.

She had been confused before as to why the leader did not appear there.

Now she understood.

Perhaps it was not because the leader had left or abandoned the Yin-Yang School.

But because the leader was already dead, killed by Ying Zheng and the Ghost.

Luna's eyes became even colder, as if she were a goddess from the nine heavens, carrying an indifferent expression.

At this moment, her cold temperament became even more apparent.

It was as if she would float away to the nine heavens in the next moment.

Ying Zheng still valued this State Preceptor of his.

After all, she had foreseen all the major events that had occurred previously and provided excellent solutions.

Otherwise, given Ying Zheng's character, he would not have rashly appointed Luna as State Preceptor.

"What is the solution to the Northwest drought?"

Ying Zheng indeed valued this problem highly.

Ever since he unified the six states, although there had been small disasters in various places,

there had never been a drought in the Northwest that affected such a wide area.

There were even rumors among the people that it was because His Majesty had angered the gods that the Northwest drought occurred.

Although Ying Zheng scoffed at such rumors and had people deal with those spreading them,

as a ruler, he naturally did not want his reputation among the people to be like this.

So he still wanted to solve the problem of the Northwest drought as much as possible.

He had originally intended to deal with tonight's events before shifting his focus to the Northwest drought.

He did not expect Luna to come tonight.
