Unable to gather any information from the Nine Palace Main God and his group, Su Yang had no choice but to change his approach and start investigating from the direction of his mother.

"In the past few hundred years, has anything significant happened in Bright City?" Su Yang asked.

According to Bei Yuan Saint Emperor, Su Yang's mother should have entered the Land of Chaos in the past few hundred years. Based on this timeline, even if she managed to arrive at Bright City without any hindrance, it would still be a matter of these past few hundred years. Therefore, starting the investigation from these recent centuries was fitting.

"Major events?" Feiyu pondered for a while, then shook his head: "Nothing major has happened!"

"Nothing?" Su Yang asked, puzzled: "Think carefully, is there anything at all?"

Feiyu thought again, but still shook his head: "Truly, nothing major has happened."

"Then... has anyone suddenly entered Bright City?" Su Yang continued.

"Uh..." Feiyu scratched his head: "There... there are too many. Bright City doesn't usually close unless it's Spiritual Birth Day; people can enter and exit freely. Only on Spiritual Birth Day does it close. There have been so many people going in and out in the past few hundred years; how am I supposed to tell you?"

Su Yang furrowed his brows; asking like this wasn't going to work after all. Investigating through his mother seemed hopeless, given the vast sea of people, it was truly unclear how to search.

It looked like he would have to focus on the group from the Nine Palace Main God.

"How many Guardian Gods are in this group?" Su Yang asked.

"Eight people!" Feiyu replied.

Su Yang felt slightly reassured; only a few members remained from the Nine Palace Main God's group, which was a good thing.

Su Yang also inquired about the whereabouts of the Nine Palace Main God's group and the surrounding conditions, as well as Feiyu's patrol route. After getting clear answers, Su Yang stepped out of the Space Artifact, still keeping Feiyu hidden inside.

After coming out, Su Yang settled in the small town. Some people did come to see Feiyu during this time, but nothing suspicious was noticed. After all, Su Yang's appearance and aura matched Feiyu's perfectly, who would suspect anything?

Even the Saint Emperor could change appearance, but altering aura was impossible. Moreover, to mimic another Saint Emperor's aura was even more unachievable. Since the power attributes of Saint Emperors differed, their auras were completely distinct. To change into another's aura, one would need the same power attribute as the other, which is only feasible by starting cultivation anew, otherwise, it's impossible.

One must admit, the method for changing aura found within the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book was truly invaluable. Without it, Su Yang didn't know how many times he would have died by now.

No wonder Commander Wu Ke had instantly recognized Su Yang had the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book; this method was exclusively recorded in it, requiring no guessing.

While residing in the small town for a period, Su Yang calculated the time to change shifts and donned the guard uniform to head straight for Bright City.

Throughout this period, Su Yang constantly mimicked everything about Feiyu and asked about the matters needing attention when entering the main city.

Su Yang wasn't just listening to Feiyu alone; he also sought confirmation from Lin Ye. Only when their accounts matched did Su Yang believe them.

At first, Feiyu tried some tricks with Su Yang, but after being exposed a few times and severely punished, he completely stopped any antics.

Because of this, Su Yang had a fairly solid grasp of the situation in the main city. Once he donned the guard uniform and proceeded to the main city, Su Yang walked with confidence, without the slightest anxiety.

Easily slipping under the nose of many guards into the main city, he took the token from the guard he was replacing, and began patrolling with seven others within the main city.

Though it was Su Yang's first time entering the main city, he had been thoroughly informed of the city's map through Feiyu and Lin Ye's descriptions long before. Therefore, upon entry, he seemed like a long-term resident, feeling no unfamiliarity.

After three days of patrolling, the guards accompanying Su Yang hadn't realized that this Feiyu was an imposter. They hadn't guarded against Su Yang, even casually joking with him occasionally, truly mistaking him for Feiyu.

During those three days, Su Yang finally passed by the compound where the group from the Nine Palace Main God resided.

This compound was relatively close to Bright Hall, with few buildings nearby. The people from the Nine Palace Main God lived inside without venturing out; outsiders didn't enter either, as if isolated from the world.

This situation led Su Yang to begin suspecting whether the group from the Nine Palace Main God was waiting for something here. Considering recent circumstances, could it be that they were also waiting for Spiritual Birth Day?

Given his current identity as Feiyu and patrolling with others, Su Yang dared not move recklessly and only observed briefly before leaving the compound.

In the following ten days, Su Yang passed by the compound several times. But each time, the situation was the same; the gate remained tightly shut, completely obscuring any view or investigation into the people from the Nine Palace Main God inside.

However, Su Yang was much more well-informed while inside the main city. Although he hadn't observed the Nine Palace Main God's group, the few guards beside him had recently discussed quite a lot about those Guardian Gods.

According to these guards, the people from the Nine Palace Main God weren't always residing in that compound. Periodically, they'd visit Bright Hall. Yet, their visits remained brief each time; what they did inside remains unknown.

Nevertheless, these guards were filled with resentment toward the Guardian Gods. As mighty individuals of the Human Clan from the Great World, they were driven here by the Guardian Gods and naturally held deep animosity toward them.

If not for the fear that the Guardian Gods' army might invade the Land of Chaos, severing their last refuge, they would have long sought to kill these Guardian Gods.

Now that these Guardian Gods have entered Bright City and settled here, everyone was only venting anger privately without daring to act, only cursing under their breath.

From these people's complaints, Su Yang also learned a crucial piece of information: the Bright City Lord and the Guardian Gods share a deep-seated enmity. The Bright City Lord's family perished at the hands of the Guardian Gods from his world!
