(God's perspective)
It took Yun Qishen and the others five days to reach the border of Heyuan Kingdom from the northern wasteland, but Zuo Qi was two days ahead of them.
The reason why there was such a difference of two days was mainly because the drunken old man annoyed Yun Qishen along the way and always took the wrong route, so he finally arrived at Heyuan Country.
There is another reason. Both sides are going straight to where they should go. Zhi Qi's journey is short, while Yun Qishen's journey is longer. Their routes form a triangle.
But Zuo Qi and Yun Qishen arrived at the royal city of Heyuan Kingdom on the same day. That was the day after Chen Yueluo and the others arrived.
——
With a smile on his face that cleared away the dark clouds and revealed the light of day, Haoqi told the story of how he had just arrived at the border of Kawara Country and was looking for clues.
At that time, Xie Qi finally looked at the black energy map and came to the place where he was looking for clues, but there was a powerful barrier in front of him to prevent Xie Qi from entering the Heyuan Kingdom.
When Zuo Qi was in a dilemma about how to break through, a person with a pass token was nearby and saw Zuo Qi's dilemma.
"Little brother? What's wrong? You don't have a pass?" The voice was kind and gentle.
Zaiqi turned around and saw an old woman with a stooped back. She was holding a cane in one hand.
"You can tell at a glance that the old man is really powerful~Does the old man want to help me?" Zuo Qi said directly.
The old woman smiled and said, "Help, help. Nowadays, young men like you are so careless, forgetting everything, and like to be impulsive." The old woman took out a pass token from her arms, "I originally wanted to do this. Throw it away...forget it, since you don't have it, I'll give this to you..."
"This can't be done...but I heard the old man say this, why did you throw away this pass token?" His female form also showed off to the elderly.
"The Kawara Kingdom is almost over, and I came out to hide. I wanted to leave this place from now on, but I can't worry about my son... My son is the guard of the Kawara Kingdom here and manages the national boundary of the Kawara Kingdom... ...In a few days there will be a feast for the king of Kawara Kingdom...the whole country is celebrating...but..."
As she spoke, the old woman began to make intermittent noises. Zaiqi took the old woman's pass and asked her curiously, "But what? Old man, maybe I can be of some help?"
"I advise you, little brother, not to wade through this muddy water... If you come to Heyuan Kingdom just to see the excitement of the king's feast, just go and leave. Don't get involved." After that, the old woman followed the border. As soon as the wind and sand disappeared.
"Because people in Kawara Country never know the fact that they are dead...even my son is the same..."
Hao Qi looked at the pass token in his hand and smiled, then attached the token to the barrier and opened an entrance...
When the old drunkard heard this, he couldn't help but want to praise the bad guy. He glanced at Yun Qishen and looked at the bad boy! You know how to attach the access token to the barrier with your hands, but you kid just threw it over restlessly...
Ji Qi continued to talk about what happened after he entered the barrier.
Ji Qi then walked in the direction indicated on the black air map. When he reached his destination, he found a wilderness, which was very different from the scenery of Heyuan Country. It was as contrasting as the tribal oasis in the northern wasteland.
Hao Qi packed up the map and looked around. What kind of clues was he going to find? What he was curious about was the relationship between Gu Aoguo and him. What secrets were hidden in his hair color? Why does he have to look for this kind of thing by himself?
Hao Qi took two steps around, and then the wind and sand surrounded him. Hao Qi couldn't find an exit for a while. He couldn't fly, so he couldn't leave from above, so he had to let the wind and sand trap him.
Ji Qi originally used body protection spells to protect his body, but in the end, none of the wind and sand had any intention of attacking him.
When the wind and sand dispersed, huge crystals appeared, surrounding Wei Qi.
Just like entering a house of mirrors, Hao Qi couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at himself reflected in these crystals.
"Except for the one time I looked in the mirror at Liu Yinfeng, I never took a closer look at my appearance. Now this is clearer. It turns out that I look quite similar~?"
After Hao Qi finished speaking, there was movement in a mirror. Hao Qi's eyes were sharp and his red sword flew over, shattering the crystal.
Xieqi waved his hand and took back the red sword.
These crystals began to move around Hao Qi again.
——Who is coming——
A thick and hollow sound broke into Zuo Qi's ears.
Haoqi thought to himself, what kind of trick is this?
"The seventh disciple of the Lingjing Dao of the Immortal Sword Sect of the Jingling Mountain Dao Sect—Jie Qi."
Hao Qi held the red sword and was wary of sudden attacks. But these crystals have no intention of attacking.
——Why are you here——
"To search for the secrets of the ancient empire—Gu Ao Kingdom!"
After Xie Qi finished speaking, a huge crystal attacked him.
Hao Qi originally wanted to use the red sword to break open the crystal, but the crystal completely wrapped Hao Qi and released it.
Then a person came out from inside...
…
Yun Qishen raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't tell me that the person coming out of it is the man in black."
"My Demon King is really smart! He guessed it right away~?" Zha Qi smiled back at Yun Qishen with a feminine expression.
"Go away! Continue talking more seriously!"
Yun Qishen was fascinated by what he heard, and the old drunkard looked at Yun Qishen with disdain...
...A man in black came out of the crystal. This man in black looked exactly like Ji Qi.
When Zuo Qi saw this spell for the first time, he was filled with curiosity to explore its mysteries. If he knew the secret of this crystal, 8 he, Zuo Qi, would definitely be able to learn the magic here.
Just when the man in black appeared, Zuo Qi's body began to become transparent.
Immediately, the deep and hollow voice came from the mouth of the man in black.
——Let’s make a bet——
Hao Qi, who was still a little panicked that he had become transparent, slowly relaxed his mood.
"What kind of bet are you talking about? Let's take a look?" Zha Qi smiled playfully.
——We bet that when the person you care about most discovers that I am not really you under the disguise, you can return to reality from nothingness——
The person that Xi Qi cared about the most was naturally Yun Qishen.
The bet here was actually a bad one, because even though he was so attached to Yun Qishen, he never understood Yun Qishen's heart, and Yun Qishen also looked like he didn't want to understand him.
Say Yun Qishen didn't take the bait during Bai Shi's seduction? Or does he have no brains at all?
Bad Qi is indeed not sure, but this is also the biggest bargaining chip in a gamble.
——As long as the person you care about recognizes that I am a fake, then I will tell you the clues you want about Gu Aoguo——
"But in order to make the bet more interesting, I suggest you cover your face...because you can't learn my smile~?"
The black-clothed "Bao Qi" opened his eyes, and the real Bao Qi disappeared.
The black-clothed "Evil Qi" also transformed into a mask and black robe and walked towards the Kawara King's Castle.
