Who is this?
Chen Qing realized almost immediately that this could absolutely not be the Duke of Song!
What was Liu Yu's status? If he were in the territory of the Duke of Wei, the world would have been in turmoil long ago. With his influence, at least a third of the powerful families in the world would have sided with him.
Moreover, Liu Yu's techniques were extremely suitable for the battlefield. If Liu Yu were still alive, the emperor probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night. Chen Qing thought it was highly unlikely.
Duke of Wei smiled, but before he could answer, the eldest princess spoke first, "This is Ghost Mr. Mirror, who, like Hei Yun, is His Majesty's confidant, one of the three unchanging masters of the court's ten great sorcerers!"
"Oh?" A glint flashed in Chen Qing's eyes, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting. "Greetings, Senior!"
According to Wang Ye, of the ten great sorcerers, seven are from aristocratic families and rotate through the ranks, while three are permanent positions. He has already met all three of them: Hei Yun is one, Gu Ying, the sorcerer who just held the Zhulong, is another, Ghost Mr. Mirror in front of him is the last one!
"What is the relationship between you and the Duke of Song?" Chen Qing asked directly.
He felt that if he didn't ask openly, probably no one else would be able to answer him.
"It doesn't matter," the other party said coldly, which was quite incongruous with the refined appearance of Liu Yu, the Duke of Song.
Chen Qing was taken aback, but Duke of Wei smiled and said, " Young Lord Chen, please forgive him. This gentleman did not intentionally imitate Duke of Song. When Duke of Song died unexpectedly, Ghost Mr. Mirror accepted some missions, which is why he looks like this."
Chen Qing was slightly taken aback. Accept the mission?
In other words, it was intentionally made to look like this?
If so, what is the necessity?
What kind of sorcerer can transform into the likeness of the Duke of Song?
Chen Qing was momentarily taken aback and felt somewhat bewildered.
I was involved in all the design aspects of the Warlock class in the first version; there shouldn't be anything I don't remember.
Ghost Mirror
Just as Lord Chen Qing was pondering, the Duke of Wei across from him laughed and said, " Lord Chen, I rushed here as soon as I received your message. What exactly is going on? Why did the Dragon Palace open ahead of schedule?"
"I don't know the specifics either." Chen Qing withdrew his scrutiny of Ghost Mr. Mirror and looked at a ship behind him. "Let me introduce you, this is Princess White Jade. She was the one who reminded us that the Dragon Palace would open ahead of schedule."
"Oh?" Everyone looked over immediately.
The man from the West Sea looked at Baiyu with a half-smile, clearly indicating that the two had a past grudge.
The eldest Principal God was cold; she had never really thought much of this legendary woman.
The Duke of Wei became serious. "The one from the legends of the West Sea?"
"Greetings, everyone." Baiyu, dragging Shen Laosan's body along, still exuded her seductive charm, and gave a slight bow, which felt extremely strange.
" Lord Chen's words are a bit of an exaggeration. As for me, I just happened to want to get involved in this matter, so I made an appointment with you, Lord Chen Lord Chen. It was also a coincidence that you discovered this place had been opened ahead of schedule."
"A coincidence?" Shen Laoda of the West Sea chuckled gently. "I was wondering why there was such thick fog when I came here from the West Sea. So it was your doing. You deliberately concealed the situation here. What are you plotting?"
"It's not convenient to tell my brother about this," Baiyu said with a smile.
"What right does she have to participate?" The eldest princess stepped forward slightly, her aura sharp. " Lord Chen agreed that there would only be four springs and four entrances, one for each of our four factions, right?"
"That's how it is," Chen Qing said with a smile.
"Now that there are more people involved, it won't be easy to divide the spoils, will it?" the princess said with a smile.
"Why is Your Highness so stingy?" Baiyu said with a smile, "The ancient times have descended; how could a few people possibly share them all?"
"But what right do you have to share with us?" The princess glared at the other party with a fierce aura, as if she were about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.
Baiyu frowned and took a step back. At this distance, she really didn't want to fight this woman.
"Isn't Lord Chen going to do anything about this?" Baiyu looked at Chen Qing with a smile.
Chen Qing rolled his eyes. You're causing trouble on my turf, why should I care? He was actually hoping Xiao Mingxue would make a move. At this distance, if Xiao Mingxue made a move, Baiyu might not be able to dodge it.
Unfortunately, the opportunity is gone now.
As she was thinking this, a languid voice came from behind Baiyu: "What a domineering person! Is this the eldest princess of the Great Jin Dynasty?"
The Duke of Wei looked up, his expression solemn.
This woman had just arrived. As a martial artist of the Above First Rank, he naturally couldn't have been so slow as to miss her arrival. However, her speed just now was truly astonishing!
The two dukes beside him also tensed up, clearly wary of this woman who had suddenly appeared.
Upon hearing this voice, Baiyu's tense expression immediately relaxed, while the princess opposite her frowned as she looked at the newcomer.
She certainly recognized him.
Wind King Murong Yunji, she had fought her once before in the north. After so many years, her opponent had improved a lot. She almost couldn't see her movements clearly just now!
"I see." At this moment, Shen Laowu, who had been standing silently behind the eldest princess, spoke up, "So it was you."
"Fifth Brother, it's been a long time." Murong Yunji looked at Shen Laowu, her black pupils blinking, a flash of scarlet red belonging to the Ancient Insect passing by!
At this moment Xiao Mingxue and the others felt a heaviness in their hearts. So the last Ancient Insect was waiting here?
No wonder Murong Yunji seemed much stronger.
However, she was very curious as to why Shen Laowu was so solemn. Murong Yunji clearly came alone, unlike them who had cultivated many followers. Why was he so wary?
Alone and without any allies or support, wouldn't he just be easy prey for Shen Laoda and himself?
But she understood the next moment.
A streak of starlight descended from the sky. In an instant, not only did Shen Laowu's expression turn solemn, but all the sorcerers subconsciously took a step back and secretly began to cast spells.
This display of power instantly made Xiao Mingxue realize Baiyu's trump card!
So it was this person.
Sorry I'm a little late.
The little girl remained as delicate and quiet as ever, looking every bit the refined young lady from a scholarly family. Her pale complexion only added to her pitiful appearance.
Dressed in Ziyi, she looked as if she might be blown away by the wind at any moment.
At this moment, no one, including Xiao Mingxue, dared to be careless. Even the renowned sorcerer from the imperial court was extremely solemn.
"Greetings, Senior Ziyue!" In the next moment, all the sorcerers, whether from the imperial court or the north, respectfully performed the junior's salute. A group of elderly men, who were about two or three hundred years old, were now uniformly performing the junior's salute to a girl who looked to be Shiyi years old. The scene was extremely incongruous.
But nobody thought there was a problem.
Only then did Chen Qing truly grasp Ziyue's prestige.
It seems the title of the Great Jin's Number One Sorcerer is well-deserved. Judging from the attitudes of these people, Ziyue probably didn't hold back when it came to killing people back then!
"I wonder if I am qualified now?" Baiyu asked the princess with a smile.
The eldest Principal God cold, ignoring the other party, and instead bowed to Ziyue, saying, "Greetings, Senior."
Ziyue looked at the eldest princess and nodded slightly. "Long time no see, you've become more and more beautiful."
The princess was taken aback, but then smiled and said, "I still envy you, senior, for your eternal youth. If I could switch places with you, my life would be worthwhile."
"Are you sure?" Ziyue looked at the princess. For the first time, the usually stoic Zi Yue showed such a half-smile, which made Xiao Mingxue feel a chill down her spine.
"I was just joking, please forgive me, senior."
Chen Qing looked at Xiao Mingxue; it was the first time he had ever seen such a strong woman cower so easily.
Lord Chen
Just as everyone was exchanging pleasantries because of Ziyue's appearance, one person couldn't hold back any longer.
His expression remained gentle, but everyone knew that he didn't care about Ziyue's existence.
Ziyue also looked at the other person, and their eyes met. A vast spiritual force collided instantly, causing the entire space to tremble.
The sorcerers from all sides turned pale at this, because they immediately realized that, in terms of mental strength alone, either of these two individuals could rival everyone present!
Chen Qing was also surprised. It seemed that he had indeed underestimated Ziyue's level before. She was actually able to Shen Laoda had devoured half of the Ancient Insect!
This guy... no wonder he's hailed as the number one sorcerer in the Great Jin!
If he hadn't been in such an unstable state, Wang Ye would probably have died there instantly.
In terms of biological level, these two are probably the limit in the current version, on par with the emperor of the Xiao Household!
"What's the problem, senior?" Chen Qing asked Shen Laoda hurriedly.
Shen Laoda nodded. "I feel that the Dragon Palace is not far from opening. Now that we have an extra group of people, how should we distribute them?"
As soon as he said that, everyone looked over.
The original plan was to have four sea eyes, one for each family, so as to avoid interference with each other and minimize internal conflicts. However, now there is a new force, and the strength of this force is quite exaggerated, especially the individual strength, which is really unsettling.
"Yes, it is indeed troublesome to have someone added at the last minute." Chen Qing smiled and said, "I think neither side would want Senior Ziyue to suddenly join their side, right?"
Everyone rolled their eyes. Wasn't that obvious? Who wanted to be grouped with this monster?
"Then let's go randomly!"
Everyone: "."
