"So you were the master's backup plan."
A hint of surprise flashed in Tian Heng's eyes when he saw Wang Ye again.
He had met this disciple of the Duke of Song several times. Given the Duke of Song's pride, his direct disciple was naturally extraordinary. When he first met him, he always felt that the boy was upright but lacked wit. It wasn't until later that he realized that this guy was a deeply hidden demon!
What's even more unexpected is that even after this guy's identity was exposed, Chen Qing still trusted him completely. Could it be because this guy had once saved Chen Qing's life?
" General Tian, you're too kind," Wang Ye quickly returned the greeting.
Tian Heng was from the same generation as his teacher. Although he was actually older than the two of them combined, as Liu Yu's disciple, he was treated differently and could only be treated as a junior.
Lord Wang, Tian Heng, didn't dwell on the other party's insistence on junior etiquette. Instead, he quickly said, "You know the current situation. The Eldest Princess and the King of Qin completely control the pass. If either of them colludes with outsiders, they can open the pass at any time. But I dare not easily turn against them. Whether it's the fighting strength of the leaders or the strength of the army, I am inferior to them."
"I know," Wang Ye nodded. " Wei Gongcheng's younger brother told me before we came."
"Where is Wei Gongcheng?" Tian Heng asked hurriedly upon hearing this.
Compared to the person in front of him, he actually trusted Wei Gongcheng more. Moreover, he also wanted to know how the other party, who was clearly in Great Azure Mountain, had managed to reach the pass in such a short time. With the current quality of spiritual energy, even King Level being would be burned away by friction if they relied on speed to pass through, right?
The only possibility is through the Underworld!
From the moment the eldest princess appeared, he had a feeling of unease; Wei Gongcheng was very likely...
" Wei Gongcheng appeared first, but he misled them," Wang Ye said in a low voice. "However, something must have gone wrong. The King of Qin is a very cautious and ruthless man; it's very possible..."
Upon hearing this, Wei Gongzhan's heart tightened.
There's been absolutely no news from my cousin. Could it really be...?
"Lord Wei will be alright." Tian Heng could only offer a reassuring glance at Wei Gongzhan before turning to Wei Gongcheng Wang Ye: "Since you've said that Lord Wei Gongcheng was here to mislead them, that means he already anticipated that the Princess could use the Underworld for teleportation, right?"
"What exactly are you planning?"
"A conjecture, an experiment," Wang Ye said in a low voice. " General Tian doesn't need to know too much, because it's impossible to explain to you. This conjecture is related to a top-tier power. If the conjecture is correct, then in the upcoming ancient times, we will at least know who our most pressing enemy is."
"What happened next in the ancient times?" Upon hearing this, Tian Heng looked at the sky filled with Buddhist light and the enormous celestial ladder in the sky, and couldn't help but speculate.
The Lord must know many secrets. He had no information on what had happened, so he knew something big was bound to happen.
But what role did the King of Qin play in such a momentous event?
What roles will the Eldest Princess and the Emperor of the Xiao Household play?
--
It's been three days.
On the city wall, the eldest princess looked at the dark outer perimeter, her impatience growing stronger.
The Daoist Daoist School you mentioned still hasn't contacted you!
"You're getting more and more impatient, girl." The King of Qin sighed helplessly, "Given the current situation, you'll have to wait for ten days, let alone three."
The word "maid" caused the princess's cold expression to stiffen slightly.
Once upon a time, she and her younger brother were bullied by the Xiao Household. It was this seemingly carefree King of Qin who took a liking to them, not only teaching them some secret skills but also secretly providing them with a lot of resources.
Back then, I liked to call him "brother," and he liked to call me "little girl."
To be honest, back then, my brother became the King of Qin's right-hand man, and I, though hiding in the shadows, was also one of his confidants. If the King of Qin hadn't revealed my demonic identity, my best outcome would have been to marry him.
She had once thought that she would marry him.
Unfortunately, beneath that gentle exterior lies a disgusting worm!
"Are you so sure I won't dare leave with my troops?" the princess said coldly, looking at the other party.
"It's not that I'm trying to kill you, it's just that the situation is what it is." The King of Qin pointed outside. "Do you know what the situation is like outside? Without the Blazing Yang Grand Formation of Jiangnan, would you dare to leave with your soldiers? How many monsters are there outside? How many ancient beings have awakened? What's the difference between rashly leading your soldiers out and sending them to their deaths? Would you be happy if your brother's soldiers, whom he trained with all the nation's resources, were lost?"
"You don't need to threaten me!" the Princess sneered. "You think you can survive by staying here? Besides, the capital's defenses are weak. If something happens to my brother, won't the Great Jin Dynasty fall apart?"
"If your brother dies, it means he wasn't the chosen one. Even if the Great Jin falls apart, the soldiers you've trained are still the vital force of the human race. The worst outcome is that they'll be absorbed by Jiangnan. Even if they all belong to Chen Qing, it's better than you sending them out to their deaths!"
"Oh?" The princess was slightly taken aback by these words, then looked at the other person with amusement. "It's strange to hear such words from you. Chen Qing has repeatedly pushed you into a corner, and you actually have such thoughts?"
"My conflict with him stems from differing ideologies, but even at our most clashing, we're still more compatible than those freaks out there. Regardless of who emerges victorious, we won't end up destroying each other, because neither of us wants the world to become what those freaks desire!"
Upon hearing this, the princess's icy expression softened slightly, and her gaze towards the other person became somewhat complicated.
She believes that.
The King of Qin's passion back then was genuine, and his desire to save the world was real. Although he held demons in higher regard, they were indeed different from those ancient and strange creatures. He truly sought harmony and peace for the world.
The only difference between him and Chen Qing is that he utterly despises outsiders!
The world has become like this because of those outsiders, and even the people who designed this world deliberately designed it to be hell.
He hates taking things for granted!
This was actually the biggest rift between his younger brother and Chen Qing. If Chen Qing hadn't been an outsider, he might have been his brother's best ally, but unfortunately...
"Is King of Qin Highness truly serious?"
A gentle, melodious female voice rang out, startling both of them!
Both of them have had different extraordinary encounters. Whether it is the Eldest Princess or the current King of Qin of Qin, they are both top-tier among King Level. If they were to reveal all their trump cards, they would be no less powerful than the Ghost King Xiang of yesteryear.
But how could someone get so close without the person noticing?
For a moment, both of them broke out in a cold sweat, if that person had been an assassin.
The King of Qin turned his head first, and there was an extremely beautiful woman, but her appearance made the King of Qin pause in surprise.
That appearance... was actually...
