Listening to the footsteps in the distance, everyone's eyes were filled with joy, curiosity, and vigilance.
At this moment, I believe everyone has the same question in their mind.
Is the visitor an enemy or a friend?
Is he a teammate, a man in black, or an ancient powerful man in the underground palace?
Under the nervous gazes of everyone, the footsteps at the exit in front gradually approached, and then a handsome man with a faint smile on his face walked out first. The moment I saw this man, I immediately frowned.
I have no recollection of this man. Although I don't dare to say that I can completely remember the appearance of all the Federation teammates, I have a somewhat vague recollection of him. But I have no recollection of this man at all.
But having said that, he doesn't have the unique black attire of a spirit hunter, and he probably isn't one of Bai Luo's group.
Then could he be the ancient powerful man from the underground palace?
While I was guessing, three more people appeared behind the man. They were the three elders Yao Wen. After seeing them, we suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Behind them, Lin Wei and others appeared.
As soon as the two sides met, there were exclamations of surprise.
"Elder Yao!"
"Weiwei!"
"Ye Yan!"
After the two groups of people saw each other, their faces were full of joy, and then they quickly gathered together. After a few brief chats, our eyes focused on Qi, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
.
Seeing this, Yao Wen stroked his beard and introduced: "This is..."
"Qi, why are you here?" At this moment, Ying Ji's voice rang.
We turned our heads in shock, only to see Ying Ji looking at Qi with a complicated look. It was obvious that the two of them knew each other, but judging from Ying Ji's meaning... he seemed to be surprised by Qi's arrival.
Isn't Qi a strong man in the underground palace?
Just as he was thinking about it in his mind, he heard the man whom Ying Ji called Qi smile and say: "Ying Ji, I haven't seen you for thousands of years. You are really well. I didn't expect that I would be the first person to see you when I came back from the ghost world."
My old friend turned out to be you."
When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat, and I realized that Qi came from the ghost world.
"What are you doing back here?" Ying Ji said in a neutral tone.
I listened blankly to the exchange between the two, and I was thinking in my heart, Ying Ji didn't seem to be too cold towards Qi, and there was no joy in his tone. Could it be that the relationship between the two is actually very bad?
I had a lot of questions in my mind that I wanted to ask, but when I saw that even Yao Wen had closed his mouth and stood quietly beside him, I knew that now was not the time for me to interrupt, so I could only look at the two big guys helplessly.
chat.
"Come back and see how the seal is doing." Qi replied: "But I think the situation here is a bit bad. I'm afraid Brother Xia won't be able to hold on for much longer. It seems that I came at the right time."
"Haha." Ying Ji chuckled.
"Ying Ji, I think your condition is not very good. Your strength has dropped below three stars. It's a bit too miserable." Qi said with a half-smile but not a smile.
"hehe."
"Ying Ji, a talented young man back then, never imagined that he would be reduced to such a state now."
"hehe."
"After all these years, it seems you still have a big opinion against me."
"hehe."
"..."
The conversation between the two parties was obviously not very pleasant, but the two did not quarrel or even get more heated. Seeing that Ying Ji was dissatisfied with him, Qi shrugged and said, "Since you don't want to talk to me, then forget it.
Now, Brother Xia can’t wait any longer.”
"let's go."
After the words fell, Qi turned around and walked towards the center of the hall. Seeing this, Yao Wen and others immediately followed him, while most of the people who didn't know Qi very well showed hesitation on their faces.
"Follow him, he knows the route." At this time, Ying Ji suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, we were stunned for a moment and then followed suit.
Because the relationship between Ying Ji and Qi was not harmonious, the atmosphere was a little stiff for a while, but everyone still talked in low voices. Lin Wei and I walked together and asked in a low voice: "Wei Wei, this...Senior Qi, what on earth is this?"
Who is he?"
"It seems that he came from the ghost world, but he is a strong man from ancient times and has a great seniority. Even Grandpa Grandpa calls him Great Grandpa..." Lin Wei said in a low voice.
Grandpa...
Hearing this, I was immediately petrified. Yao Wen called Qi Grandfather. Doesn't that mean that Qi and Xia are of the same generation? In other words...Qi is Emperor Shun's biological son?
After being shocked for a long time, I asked: "Isn't that your ancestor?"
"When you say that, it seems true..." Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, as if she had just thought of this problem, and murmured: "Then shouldn't I call him Grandpa Qi?"
"It's okay to call him that, after all, the seniority is there." I nodded, and I was thinking about how to have a good relationship with Qi. After all, I am technically his son-in-law... It's just that we are separated by N generations.
.
But having said that, I have already been recognized by Scala, so with this relationship, it shouldn’t be a big problem for me to have a good relationship with Qi, and I can even get to know Scala further.
Could it be that the peak of my life is coming?
Qi finally came here, and I felt that I couldn't miss this opportunity, so I pestered Lin Wei and asked several questions. Regarding Qi's strength, Lin Wei didn't know much about it. She only knew that his strength was better than Bai Luo's, and that
Bai Luo drank it back.
Lin Wei also told me that it was Qi who saved them just now, otherwise they would probably die in Bai Luo's hands.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but have a good impression of Qi Sheng.
While we were communicating in low voices, Qi had already led us to the center of the hall.
In the center is the statue of Emperor Shun, holding a common sword and riding a ferocious dragon on his crotch. Just standing there gives people an extremely powerful aura. We also passed by here when we were walking just now, but we
Everyone thought it was just an ordinary statue.
Qi brought us here specially. Is there something else going on here?
"My father's statue is really powerful and domineering." Qi first praised Emperor Shun, then blew gently to blow away all the dust on the statue of Emperor Shun, and said: "The eyes of my father's statue are facing each other.
The passage is the correct entrance, and the rest of the passages lead to the outside world!"
Obviously, Qi came here specifically to clean up the dust on the statue of Shun. Seeing this, my affection for Qi became even stronger, because Qi is a filial person, and filial people obviously tend to have good moral character.
At this time, Ying Ji suddenly said: "It seems that you really know a lot about this place, and you haven't forgotten it even after thousands of years."
"After all, it was my father who established it, how could I forget?" Qi smiled.
"Yes, it was established by Lord Shun. Unfortunately, the only one willing to stay is Lord Xia." Ying Ji shrugged.
Hearing this, the smile on Qi's face faded slightly, and he said in an unkind tone: "Ying Ji, you have to know that everyone has the right to choose. I respect Brother Xia's choice, but you have no right to accuse me."
"His Majesty the Human Emperor helped the ten Holy Lords break through, but the ten Holy Lords did not seem to have fully shouldered their responsibilities. Now the demons have long been overrun, and the Demon Infants have even escaped from the war land. In the end, they have to shoulder the responsibilities that they should bear."
It is the descendants who bear this price." Ying Ji sneered: "The predecessors enjoyed the cool weather and the descendants suffered, but you still ignore it. It seems that the life in the "heaven realm" has made you forget the ancient world."
Faced with Ying Ji's teasing, Qi's face turned livid and he said solemnly: "Ying Ji, you'd better show some respect to the ten saints. Besides, we didn't ignore it. I'm already here. You think I'm dead."
Isn’t it possible?”
"I don't want to quarrel with you. Mr. Xia is still waiting for our help now, so hurry up." Ying Ji said calmly.
Qi glanced at Ying Ji coldly, then turned around and walked towards the direction where Emperor Shun's eyes were facing. Seeing this, we all followed, probably because the conversation between Qi and Ying Ji was quite explosive.
We stopped talking at all.
"It seems that Ying Ji and Qi have some grudges..." I thought to myself.
Obviously, Ying Ji is not interested in Qi or even the ten saints, but it is not surprising to think about it. After all, Ying Ji was once the supreme powerhouse at the peak of three stars. Maybe to him, the four-star saints are only a few steps away from him.
It's just one step away.
However, judging from Ying Ji’s words, he is obviously dissatisfied with the behavior of the ten saints who are not fulfilling their responsibilities, but to be honest, I can’t comment, because I can’t say who is right and who is wrong, not to mention I am not qualified to judge them.
.
To be fair, the ten saints must have paid a lot, but it is obvious that the seal has indeed been loosened, Yang Province has already tasted the bitter pill, and if this continues, we may have to pay more casualties.
I just hope that Qi can solve the seal this time, otherwise we will be unlucky. Maybe we will destroy the resentful spirits sealed in the ancient battlefield before we can wait for the resentful spirits to attack in large numbers.
"Now that Qi is here, it means that the Holy Lords still pay attention to it, and we should be able to solve the problem once and for all..." I thought in my heart.
Having said that, the Human Emperor that Ying Ji mentioned just now, I guess it may be the Lord God of Heaven, but his name is different. But judging from the fact that "Lord Human Emperor" helped ten saints break through, the Human Emperor's
The strength must be terrifying.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but yearn for the Human Emperor.
I really want to meet this legendary Human Emperor...
