An independent apartment in the geocentric city.
Ling Xiao and Liu Changqing entered a room on the top floor with Shen Qian on their left and right sides. It wasn't until the alloy door engraved with the isolation formation closed with a "snap" that Ling Xiao and Liu Changqing let go of Shen Qian.
I was relieved at the same time.
At this moment, Shen Qian noticed the cold sweat on the temples of the two senior brothers, and realized that their indifference just now was all fake.
Shen Qian was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
"What's that look in your kid's eyes?"
Liu Changqing gave Shen Qian a shudder and said with some embarrassment, "You can pretend that you don't even look down on the top princes. Do you know that if the other party makes a slight difference, you will be responsible for it today!" "Uh...that's not the case, right?"
Although his strength has surpassed Liu Changqing's, Shen Qian could only rub his forehead aggrievedly, "This is the city at the center of the earth after all, and princes can't mess around, right?"
"Do you think the law can really restrain princes?"
Ling Xiao sneered when he heard this, "At their level, when they are really angry, they can't do anything. You don't think that if he really kills you, he can still pay for your life?"
Shen Qian was silent, his words actually contained some elements of joking.
He naturally knows in his heart that rules can only be used to restrain the weak.
Of course, he was also sure that Ling Tianhou would not do anything to him in public because of such a thing. No matter how detached the prince was, unless he reached the point of being invincible, he still had his own bottom line to abide by.
But I have to say that the gap between mountains and seas and princes is much wider than I imagined.
Especially in the moment just now, when he and Ling Tianhou looked at each other at close range, when the coldness in the other person's eyes flashed away, Shen Qian deeply felt the powerlessness that had not appeared for a long time.
Shen Qian became more and more suspicious that something went wrong when his prince clone broke through.
Now it seems that the strength of the prince's clone is at best comparable to the top mountains and seas, but it is still far behind the real prince.
But what’s the difference?
With Shen Qian's current understanding, he really can't see clearly, and the teacher is not here, maybe... he can ask his senior brother for advice?
The top of the mountains and seas is no longer weaker than a real prince, Shen Qian intuitively knows that Jiang Huan can tell him the answer.
It's just that Shen Qian still has scruples. After all, asking Jiang Huan for advice may expose the existence of the prince's clone, and this involves his deepest secret.
Shen Qian came back to his senses. At this time, Ling Xiao and Liu Changqing had calmed down after scolding him a few times. Only then did he notice the surrounding environment.
It's said to be an apartment, but the house the three of them are in now has hundreds of square meters, which is comparable to an average flat-floor apartment.
The spiritual energy lingering in the room seems to have been enhanced by some kind of formation, and it is even more intense.
In addition to high-end modern furniture, the apartment is also equipped with a fully equipped training room, which can be called luxurious as a whole.
"Fifth Senior Brother, is this your house?"
Shen Qian wandered around curiously, his eyes skipped over Liu Changqing, a "poor man" with only tens of millions of assets, and landed on Ling Xiao.
"I don't have the ability."
While making tea, Ling Xiao shook his head and said: "The price of one of the top apartments in the Earth Center City is more than one billion, and you have to obtain the permanent residence of the Earth Center City before you can buy it... This belongs to the senior brother.
place."
"Big brother?"
Shen Qian was surprised at first, and then suddenly realized.
Zheng Lei also mentioned before that not everyone can obtain permanent residency in the Earth's Core City, but with Jiang Huan's strength and status, it is not surprising.
"When you reach the realm of Senior Brother, the amount of spiritual energy actually has little impact, so he rarely comes here, but we often benefit from it."
Ling Xiao smiled and nuzzled at Liu Changqing, "Well, before you came, your sixth senior brother has been here for more than a month."
Shen Qian secretly thought that it was no wonder.
After returning from Wuding Bridge, Liu Changqing disappeared. He originally thought that the other party was in retreat at the Babel Tower, but it turned out that he had gone to this central city.
"Fuck, don't mention it. Although it's free to live here, staying in the center of the earth for one day costs one hundred thousand. Not to mention the various daily expenses. Staying here for a month almost cost me two dollars."
Ten million."
Liu Changqing said with a grin.
Faced with Liu Changqing's cry for poverty, Ling Xiao and Shen Qian both looked at each other and tacitly agreed not to answer.
Although Ling Xiao is not very rich, he has been involved in the mountains and seas for more than ten years and has a lot of savings. Naturally, he does not take 20 million in his eyes.
As for Liu Changqing, before Shen Qian rose to prominence, he should have been the poorest among the disciples of Marquis Jingcheng.
But after a trip to Wuding Bridge and colluding with Shen Qian, he suddenly became rich. The total value of the wealth plundered by the two of them exceeded five billion.
Even if one person is half as much, Liu Changqing has at least two billion in net worth, and tens of millions is naturally not worth mentioning.
"Sixth Brother, are you and Ling Tianhou a love rival?"
After taking a sip of tea, Shen Qian still couldn't hold back the fire of gossip in his heart and asked directly.
When this topic was mentioned, Liu Changqing's face turned cold. Ling Xiao remained silent. After a few breaths, Liu Changqing waved his hand.
"Forget it, it's nothing. I'll just tell you what I'm telling you. At least you'll have something in mind when you meet Ling Tianhou again in the future. Don't be fooled by this guy's seemingly upright appearance..."
"Wait a minute, why did you take out a handful of melon seeds?"
Liu Changqing, who was talking, suddenly stared at Shen Qian with an unkind expression.
"Ahem, sorry, there was a mistake."
Shen Qian quickly put away the melon seeds he subconsciously took out, and then sat upright, as if he was all ears.
Liu Changqing's expression softened a little, and he continued: "Ling Tianhou and I grew up together in a place called 'Tongji Martial Arts Academy'... That martial arts academy was funded by some powerful people from the mountains and seas behind the scenes, and it specialized in adopting certain people.
There are many institutions like this across the country for gifted orphans."
Liu Changqing explained and then continued.
"We had a good relationship before, and with another... another girl named Ren Lingxi, the three of us often competed together in martial arts."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After a pause, Liu Changqing said the girl's name.
"Sixth Senior Brother, isn't that Ren Lingxi your first love?"
Shen Qian cautiously probed.
"...the love of my life."
After a brief silence, Liu Changqing said four words decisively.
Shen Qian was a little surprised. After seeing Liu Changqing's firm eyes, Shen Qian suddenly felt a little ashamed.
He still remembered that before he saw the pink USB flash drive, he had always thought that Liu Changqing was not interested in women. But after seeing the pink USB flash drive, Shen Qian thought that Liu Changqing just had some special hobby...
Unexpectedly, Liu Changqing, who seemed to be carefree, turned out to have an irreplaceable person living in his heart.
"Then now she..."
"She is Ling Tianhou's fiancée."
When Shen Qian opened his mouth, Liu Changqing already knew what he was going to ask and interrupted directly.
"Ah?"
Even though he had already expected something from Ling Tianhou's tone, Shen Qian still felt a little sorry for Lao Liu.
My childhood sweetheart, the only woman I loved, married my former best friend...
Ni Ma, this is the tragedy that will take a hundred episodes to explain clearly at eight o'clock in the evening!
However, Lao Liu is probably the most miserable second male lead among them.
"You know nothing!"
As if sensing the unknown meaning in Shen Qian's eyes, Liu Changqing became furious.
"Lingxi has always liked me, okay, but...it's just that I focused on martial arts and was too lazy to quarrel with Lingxi, so this bastard Qiao Tianliang took advantage of him!"
Facing Lao Liu, he had a tough talk. Shen Qian wisely did not answer, but just touched his nose.
Qiao Tianliang should be Ling Tianhou’s real name...
Liu Changqing was so rude, Shen Qian was even more certain that the girl named Ren Lingxi was probably more important in Liu Changqing's heart than he imagined.
"Sixth Senior Brother, is it also because of the existence of Ling Tianhou that you are reluctant to step into the mountains and seas, and you only want to pursue the strongest 'Tao'?"
Shen Qian felt something in his heart, as if he had figured something out.
Being accepted as a disciple by Marquis Jingcheng and ranking sixth shows that Liu Changqing's talent is definitely not bad.
But he hesitated until he was thirty before finally setting foot in the mountains and seas. Is it really because he has never been able to ask?
There are three thousand avenues and countless trails. It shouldn’t be difficult at all for Liu Changqing to just step into the mountains and seas.
Since he was able to discuss martial arts with Ling Tianhou, who was known as the world's most evil evildoer, he was also able to understand the original energy on his own between life and death...
Shen Qian suddenly realized that he might have underestimated his sixth senior brother.
"Qiao Tianliang's talent and smooth martial arts are rare even among princes. At that time more than ten years ago, he was the only one whose name was heard in the world."
Ling Xiao, who had been silent until now, sighed and added, "I have to admit that even the Sky Swordsman, whom I admire the most, is inferior to his legendary experience."
"On the day he was granted the title of Marquis, the sky and the earth were darkened, the stars hung upside down, and the fourteenth level of the Tianmen was opened to create the crown of prince. It shocked the world. Even the teacher went to watch the ceremony in person. You can imagine how radiant he was!"
Listening to Ling Xiao's narration, Shen Qian's body trembled.
It’s not that he was overwhelmed by Ling Tianhou’s awesomeness, but he heard something like “the sky and the earth are dark”, something like “the stars hang upside down”, something like the “fourteenth level of the Heavenly Gate”, something like the “Crown of a Prince”...
Shen Qian became more and more certain that his clone had definitely broken through into a fake prince.
Because he didn’t have any of the things Ling Xiao said!
Could it be...that the breakthrough was in a world of annihilation?
Shen Qian almost couldn't help but ask Ling Xiao for details, but he still held back.
Now is not the time to talk about this.
Although Liu Changqing on the side looked nonchalant on the surface, judging from the opponent's secretly clenched fists, Shen Qian knew that he was probably very painful in his heart.
The partners who once discussed Tao together are now in heaven and earth. The bitter taste of it is probably only known to Liu Changqing himself.
"Old... Sixth Senior Brother, if there is anything I can do to help in the future, just ask."
"Bad boy, it's just you..."
Liu Changqing subconsciously wanted to scold him as usual, but suddenly stopped.
Because he suddenly remembered that the young man in front of him, who had completely shed his youthful aura, had been able to press Ji You to the ground and rub him crazily just half an hour ago.
This is something he can't do.
Unknowingly, Shen Qian was truly worthy of the title of "disciple of Marquis Jingcheng".
His legend seems to be no less than that of Ling Tianhou back then.
After all, he is only nineteen years old...
Seeing Liu Changqing's silence, Ling Xiao seemed to feel something, but he was not as melancholy as Liu Changqing. Instead, he told Shen Qian with a serious face.
"Junior brother, I know that you are extremely powerful now, and the senior brothers can no longer understand you, but I still hope that you can act more prudently. The world is so vast and there are so many strong people, I am afraid that you will be exhausted.
Imagination... It’s always good to be careful in everything.”
"Speaking of this."
Shen Qian smiled bitterly and said, "I also want to ask Fifth Senior Brother where so many mountains and seas can appear. Before today, I didn't know that there are nearly ten million mountain and sea warriors hidden on the earth..."
"It's not considered hiding."
Ling Xiao shook his head, "Some people often compare mountains and seas to the beginning of martial arts, because this is a realm that contains great magic. Now that you know the existence of the forbidden realm, you should know how high the upper limit of mountains and seas is..."
"There are thousands of mountains and seas in the world. In fact, the mountain and sea warriors you can come into contact with in society, such as those lords of a city, are just ordinary people in the mountains and seas."
"Besides them, there are two types of mountain and sea warriors. You must be extra careful!"
"Which three?"
When Shen Qian heard that there was such a division, he couldn't help but wonder.
"The first type is called the Mountain and Sea Behind the Gate. They are not on the earth all year round, but travel behind various 'doors' to hone themselves... These people have all experienced nine deaths, and they are synonymous with danger.
”
Ling Xiao explained, "The world behind the 'door' is extremely vast, and there are always all kinds of martial arts resources that you can't imagine. You never know what kind of trump card they hold in their hands!"
Shen Qian was thoughtful.
Is this the case for Fourth Senior Brother Wu Jun? Because he once heard that Fourth Senior Brother was the only living person to come out of the "Sea of the Dead".
The Sea of the Dead does not belong to any place on earth, it should be behind the "door".
Xu Nian should also be in this queue. After all, he was expelled from China and had nowhere to go except behind the "door".
There is also Bai Fei, who also came back from the dead behind the "door". He can barely be regarded as one of them, but he is still too immature.
"The second type is the prison guard." Ling Xiao said again.
"Prison guard?" Shen Qian said in surprise,
"Prison guards are the collective name for the guards of various forbidden places and ancient prisons."
Ling Xiao exhaled a breath of turbid air, "These mountain and sea warriors are unknown and have not appeared in the world for a long time. Ordinary warriors don't even know about their existence."
"But they are directly appointed by the princes' council and are usually responsible for suppressing a place. Their strength can be imagined. I once met a Shanhai prison guard and watched him kill a super from the eighth level of Shanhai with only three moves.
The strong are extremely terrifying..."
Three moves?
Kill a mountain and sea eighth level?
Shen Qian opened his mouth in surprise.
Or maybe that’s how he breaks out his ultimate strength. The prerequisite is that the warrior from the eighth level of mountains and seas doesn’t break through the taboo.
"Junior brother, do you still remember when we came out of Wuding Bridge, I told you that there is a sea prison left over from ancient times at Wuding Bridge, where there are guards of mountains and seas."
At this time, Liu Changqing seemed to have calmed down from his low mood and added a sentence.
Shen Qian nodded, feeling an inexplicable desire in his heart. He really wanted to see the elegance of these characters.
"What about the third type of mountain and sea warriors?" Shen Qian asked again with interest.
