Within the Wuding Bridge.
On an island closer to the entrance.
Liu Changqing and Shen Qian were like two elementary school students who made mistakes, their heads hanging down.
Not far in front of them, a young man with white hair and eyebrows and a stern face stood standing with his hands behind his back.
Although the young man had a cold face, seeing the two of them pretending to be "honest and humble", there was still a bit of laughter and laughter in his eyes.
"Stop acting. I dare not tell Shen Qian. What kind of bastard you Liu Changqing is, I have heard about it."
The young man smiled lightly and said, "Tell me about it."
"May I ask Marquis Xuanming, what do you want to say?" Liu Changqing couldn't hold it in anymore, so he simply showed his hands and said, "Wuding Bridge advocates free competition. Their skills are inferior to others because they are incompetent!"
"Besides, we didn't do anything harmful. We just grabbed some things. Who told them not to cooperate!"
"Grab something?" Seeing Liu Changqing's plausibility, Marquis Xuanming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Are you grabbing something? There are only two hundred people in total this time, and the gains of 138 people are all in your hands. What else do you want? how?"
"Old...I still feel like we didn't do anything wrong!"
Liu Changqing came just as he was about to open his mouth, but luckily he changed his words in time under the unkind look in Marquis Xuanming's eyes, and even Shen Qian broke into a cold sweat for him.
Time goes back ten minutes.
Liu Changqing and Shen Qian were taking stock of all the gains this time. Even Shen Qian was a little stunned by the huge number.
Seeing Lao Liu's dancing eyebrows, Shen Qian felt somewhat worried.
That was more than a hundred mountain and sea warriors.
This feud is getting bigger.
Moreover, he did not enter Wudingqiao through conventional means. If he was discovered, it would be a big or small matter.
While Shen Qian was thinking about it, a white-haired young man fell from the sky and directly pulled out Shen Qian who quickly entered the invisible state.
At that time, Shen Qian couldn't help but complain.
He saw that the white-haired young man was a prince, but didn't King Taiyi say that this invisibility talisman could not be broken by ordinary princes?
...Well, Marquis Xuanming doesn’t look like an ordinary prince.
But after Shen Qian thought carefully, he felt that none of the princes he had seen looked ordinary.
So Shen Qian clearly understood.
It’s better not to show off this invisibility charm in front of the prince.
Too dangerous!
After all, King Taiyi himself has never used this invisibility talisman, so it is very possible for him to brag a few words casually.
However, it is still possible to deceive the mountains and seas, and King Taiyi will not be so unreliable.
Of course, it must also be under the condition that the gap in strength is not large.
For example, facing a top mountain and sea like Tantai Qin, even if Shen Qian uses the invisibility charm, he will most likely be killed instantly if he dares to take action.
"If I really thought you had done something illegal, I would not dismiss Qiu Ji and others."
Marquis Xuanming said calmly.
Liu Changqing could only laugh when he heard this.
Just now, Marquis Xuanming transformed into a big face and appeared in the sky. Shen Qian and Liu Changqing also saw it.
What made Shen Qian even more confused was that Xuanminghou not only did not pursue the two of them, but also took the initiative to cover up for him, which was extremely considerate.
But Shen Qian didn't know Marquis Xuanming, and judging from what Liu Changqing had just whispered while Marquis Xuanming was flying, he wasn't familiar with him either.
The princes also have their own circles, but Xuanminghou, who lives overseas, has a very weak relationship with the boss Gao.
"Xuanminghou Mingjian!"
No matter what, it seems that Marquis Xuanming has no ill intentions so far, and Liu Changqing and Shen Qian quickly started to flatter him.
"Stop hating me. Although your Liu Changqing's behavior is not illegal, Shen Qian's appearance at Wuding Bridge was an accident, wasn't it?"
Marquis Xuanming shook his head and said, "We are all Chinese warriors, and we need to have a measure of control in our fights. Because of your greed, most of the mountain and sea warriors who entered Wuding Bridge this time not only gained nothing, but also suffered serious injuries. We must cultivate ourselves well." There is a big price to pay, so..."
"Liu Changqing, you need to give 30% of the harvest to make up for their delayed martial arts entry due to injuries."
"Why?" Liu Changqing suddenly screamed, "Why should we return the resources that our junior brothers have snatched with their own abilities to those losers? The appearance of my junior brother was an accident, but he was also the one who defeated those with his own strength! "
"You mean that invisibility charm?"
Marquis Xuanming sneered, "If Shen Qian hadn't entered the Divine Machine Palace first, how could he have obtained the invisibility talisman? Don't tell me that the invisibility talisman is also his own. I have not missed every word of the conversation between the two of you. All heard it."
Liu Changqing was speechless for a moment, and Shen Qian was also a little embarrassed.
Good guy.
It turns out that Marquis Xuanming has been monitoring Wuding Bridge. No wonder he didn't ask how Shen Qian got in.
From this perspective, Marquis Xuanming was actually vaguely on their side.
Otherwise, the other party could have stopped it long ago.
As for why he showed up at the end, it was probably because Qiu Ji and others were blocking the door, so he had to step in to mediate.
Of course, these are just Shen Qian's unilateral guesses.
Even if these are put aside, what Xuanminghou said is actually reasonable.
Shen Qian fell from the sky and stepped into the finish line. Not only did he get a huge advantage for nothing, but now he also doesn't let others gain. He is really a bit "unconscionable".
"Liu Changqing, don't be stubborn with me. Don't think that I don't know that you want to make a counter-offer. Just 30%, not even a penny less!"
Marquis Xuanming spoke again and blocked Liu Changqing before he could speak.
"Ahem, that's okay, just 30%!"
Liu Changqing instantly surrendered, waved his hand without hesitation, and took out a bunch of treasures from the space ring.
Shen Qian looked sideways, and then he realized that Liu Changqing had already been prepared to take out some of the treasures.
Sixth Senior Brother looks like a bastard, but he is actually more sober than anyone else!
Even if it was only 30% of the treasure, it instantly formed a hill on the ground.
Fortunately, Liu Changqing cleared the space in advance this time, otherwise the combined space equipment of the two of them would not be able to hold so many things.
Even so, the space equipment of the two people was almost full, and this was after discarding some less valuable things.
"Almost." Marquis Xuanming glanced at him, nodded slightly, and then waved his hand to collect all the treasures on the ground.
As for how Xuanminghou wants to compensate for those mountains and seas, Shen Qian and Liu Changqing don't need to worry about it. The prince has his own means.
"Liu Changqing, most of the mountains and seas at the door have dispersed. You should go out and wait."
After the matter was over, Marquis Xuanming said calmly.
"What about Shen Qian?" Liu Changqing heard something was wrong.
Marquis Xuanming did not answer Liu Changqing's question, but waved his hand gently.
Shen Qian's eyes flashed, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing high in the sky, with Marquis Xuanming next to him, and Liu Changqing's shadow had long disappeared from his eyes.
"Shen Qian, I have something to ask you."
"Excuse me, Marquis Xuanming!"
Realizing that some of the doubts just now would be solved, Shen Qian replied respectfully.
"You said you came here through a 'door', so why are you inside the 'door' and what is the boundary over there?"
"Marquis Xuanming, this is what happened..."
Shen Qian had already drafted it in his mind just now, so he went through the whole thing without hesitation.
He always remembered the principle that "no one can lie in front of the prince", so he used clever words.
According to Shen Qian, he found an opportunity to "transform his vitality into power" before entering the door by mistake. When the prince heard this, he naturally thought that Shen Qian was trying to break through the mountains and seas.
Regarding what he saw and heard inside the door, Shen Qian told the truth, but he did not mention Tantai Qin.
The final escape was naturally an "accidental collision". Shen Qian was under system control at the time and knew nothing about the outside world, so it was not considered a lie.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Marquis Xuanming nodded slightly, and first glanced at Shen Qian with admiration, "He is worthy of being the unprecedented martial arts champion appointed by the Ministry of Martial Arts. He has already entered the mountains and seas before he was twenty, which is rare in ancient and modern times."
After a pause, Marquis Xuanming asked the main point, "You said that behind the 'door' was the heaven in ancient times?"
"It's possible." Shen Qian said more cautiously.
Next, Marquis Xuanming asked many more details, and Shen Qian answered them one by one.
After asking for clarification, Marquis Xuanming nodded with emotion, "It seems that there are still many hidden secrets behind the Jiang Zhongjunwu incident ten years ago."
"Marquis Xuanming, how much do you know about the events of that year?" Shen Qian couldn't help but ask.
"What I know is similar to what you know. Uncle Pingyang has always had full authority to handle that matter, and he rarely reveals the inside information."
Marquis Xuanming said lightly, "I still remember asking him once during a casual chat, but he said nothing."
Shen Qian was shocked.
Ten years have passed since that incident, and Pingyang Bo is now the principal of Jiangzhong Junwu. Does he really know nothing about the situation inside that "door"?
The more Shen Qian thought about it at this time, the less likely it seemed.
"Marquis Xuanming, Jiang Chengye's behavior is a bit abnormal, and those resurrected heavenly soldiers are also digging up ancient corpses. Could this be..."
The reason why Shen Qian told Marquis Xuanming about the detailed situation in the Heavenly Court was because of some hidden worries.
He always felt that there was a bigger secret hidden in heaven.
What's more, it involves scavengers who are completely opposed to the urban humans. Who knows if there is any conspiracy.
"It doesn't matter, since I already know about this, they can't cause any trouble."
Xuanminghou Fengqing smiled lightly.
Shen Qian felt relieved.
If even the top princes can't do anything when they have taken precautions, then there is nothing he can do.
"Shen Qian, did you see King Taiyi in the Divine Machine Hall?" Marquis Xuanming asked again.
"It should be just a projection, but according to Sixth Brother, it doesn't seem right..."
Although Lao Liu warned Shen Qian, considering that Marquis Xuanming might have heard their conversation, Shen Qian still told the truth.
I just don’t know why, but this time Xuanming Hou asked very detailed questions, including King Taiyi’s specific words. Shen Qian repeated it several times before he stopped asking.
Perhaps seeing Shen Qian's doubts, Marquis Xuanming glanced at Shen Qian thoughtfully and said calmly: "King Taiyi... is my master."
Shen Qian was startled, and then he suddenly realized.
It turns out that Marquis Xuanming, who is in charge of the East China Sea and is also responsible for monitoring Wuding Bridge, is actually a disciple of King Taiyi!
No wonder the other party is so concerned about everything about King Taiyi.
After all, King Taiyi has disappeared for many years. Judging from Xuanming Hou's performance, he probably doesn't know where King Taiyi has gone.
"Hou Xuanming, does the Taiyi King I saw really have his own spiritual wisdom?" Since Xuanming Hou is a disciple of King Taiyi, Shen Qian no longer had any psychological burden and asked directly.
"Judging from your conversation, it's unlikely."
Marquis Xuanming shook his head, "The Temple of Divine Machine is a treasure left behind by the master. It has its own spirituality. It will also give opportunities based on talent. There have been several people in history who have received special gifts. Liu Changqing's information is not complete. "
"I see."
Shen Qian couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lao Liu Yi said that he thought he had really seen King Taiyi himself, it seemed that he was overthinking it.
But that's fine, otherwise he would have been made nervous by Lao Liu's remarks, fearing that there might be some shocking secret behind his back.
"Okay, I'll take you down, and you and Liu Changqing can leave on your own."
After the conversation ended, Marquis Xuanming waved his hand, and Shen Qian disappeared while bowing.
Marquis Xuanming turned around and took a deep look into the depths of Wuding Bridge. His gaze seemed to penetrate the ancient hall, and everything in the hall was exposed in his eyes.
However, no matter how much Xuanming Hou searched, he could not find a trace of familiar aura.
"It's been one hundred and twelve years, where are you...teacher!"
Marquis Xuanming murmured.
…
Inside the luxury speedboat, Shen Qian leaned in front of the window and looked curiously.
Through the outer protective layer of the speedboat, you can see the rough sea. On the almost dark sea, there are lightning and thunder, storms intertwined, and liquefied chaotic spiritual energy appears from time to time, which is colorful.
There is a strange beauty in the destruction.
"Is this the legendary overseas?"
As an inland child, Shen Qian has always been extremely curious about the sea, but the sea after the recovery of spiritual energy can be said to be a forbidden area within a forbidden area. Shen Qian was able to see its true appearance today.
"Boy, I admit that you are pretty good now, but don't worry about places like overseas for the time being. This is an area where top mountains and seas are likely to fall. Even if I want to roam freely, I'm still a little short of it."
Liu Changqing patted Shen Qian on the shoulder.
The two of them were on their way back to the mainland. The speedboat they took was on a preset route. There were prince marks along the way, which could be regarded as an alternative "escort".
"What's in the sea?" Shen Qian asked curiously after hearing this.
"Everything is possible." Liu Changqing stared at the violent sea, "From ancient times to the present, human beings have never truly conquered the sea, especially after the emergence of 'doors'... It is said that the sea is the place with the most 'doors' place."
Shen Qian listened thoughtfully.
This statement should be true. After all, didn't he enter the East China Sea through an invisible "door"?
"Even excluding the existence of 'doors', there are countless secrets in the sea. For example, near the Wuding Bridge where we were just now, as far as I know, there is a water prison left over from ancient times." Liu Changqing said mysteriously.
"Water prison?" Shen Qian became even more curious.
"Well, the news should be true. Although I don't know what is being imprisoned there, I heard that the reason why Marquis Xuanming has been stationed in the East China Sea for a long time is actually mainly to guard the water prison, and the Wuding Bridge is just incidental." Liu Changqing said. smiled.
Shen Qian was startled when he heard this.
He vaguely felt that he had captured something, but the thought only passed by in a flash, and he couldn't think clearly about it for a while.
"Boy, don't think so much. It's true that I and you will make a fortune this time!"
Liu Changqing didn't know what he thought of, and excitement appeared on his face again.
Shen Qian also smiled.
After some plundering by the two of them, even if 30% of it was taken away by Marquis Xuanming, the rest would still be an astronomical figure.
A rough estimate is that it exceeds 5 billion...
However, Shen Qian is less interested in money now, and he is more eager to know how much progress he has made now.
He needs a physical testing machine.
Thinking of this, Shen Qian looked at the coastline getting closer and closer in the distance outside the window, and started to look forward to it.
