Moon God Realm, Divine Moon City.

Xia Qingyue had just returned from the Eternal Heaven God Realm. The moment she stepped into Divine Moon City, she sensed that something was amiss.

Many of her Moon Guards were currently spreading out and rushing toward the exits of the Moon God Realm.

“What’s happening?” Xia Qingyue asked in a soft voice, her eyebrows sinking in consternation.

The voice of their god emperor caused the entire Divine Moon City to grind to a halt. Yao Yue, Lian Yue, and Jin Yue swiftly appeared before Xia Qingyue. Lian Yue anxiously replied, “Master, Shui Meiyin… is no longer in the Moon Prison!”

“!?” Xia Qingyue’s eyes instantly turned into chips of solid ice. Her head swivelled towards Jin Yue as she said, “Jin Yue! Didn’t this king tell you to keep a close watch over her!?”

Jin Yue’s delicate body bent over as she said in a panicked voice, “Master, this maidservant immediately went to the Moon Prison after I received your orders. But when this maidservant reached the bottom of the Moon Prison, I discovered… that Shui Meiyin had vanished without a trace.”

“So you’re saying that Shui Meiyin escaped before that?” Xia Qingyue suddenly shifted her gaze to the side as she called out a name. “Hengzhi!”

A tall man wearing silver armor swiftly ran towards her. He knelt at her feet and said, “I greet the god emperor.”

Yue Hengzhi, the commander-in-chief of the Moon Prison’s guards.

Yue Hengzhi answered with no hesitation, “Absolutely not. If the bottom of the Moon Prison is impacted by even the slightest force, Hengzhi would definitely sense it. Furthermore, the only one who has opened up the barrier at the bottom of the Moon Prison in the last six months is…”

He glanced at Jin Yue before his voice dropped several octaves, “Divine Envoy Jin Yue.”

Yao Yue, Lian Yue, and Jin Yue were the three personal maidservants of the Moon God Emperor, so they possessed many special privileges. There was no place in the Moon God Realm which was forbidden to them… and this included the bottom of the Moon Prison.

“Hmph!” The look...
