Ouyang Qianjin's voice was gentle, full of wisdom and rationality.
As she asked her question, the air around them seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
"Don't you Easterners have a saying that ignorance is no excuse? And this came from a dungeon portal, so if you really have to blame someone, you can only blame the quest panel that gave me."
The princess shook her head slightly, as if complaining or shifting the blame.
Those watching the two girls sitting at the small round table nearby couldn't help but shudder.
As an elite whose level is much higher than that of other professionals.
Their perception is naturally much higher.
At this moment, in their eyes, both girls exuded a terrifying aura.
Ouyang Qianjin exuded a chilling black aura, as if she were a messenger emerging from the darkness.
Her smile didn't bring any warmth; instead, it revealed a power, a power that seemed to carry a deadly threat with every movement.
The aura of the other girl, known as the 'princess,' was a scarlet red, like blood.
It looks gorgeous yet full of danger.
Her very existence seemed to possess a kind of magic, capable of igniting the deepest desires within people's hearts.
The two girls sat facing each other. Although they looked to be about the same age, their different temperaments created a stark contrast between them.
One is a night spirit that roams in the darkness.
One is a bloodthirsty beast lurking in the darkness.
Their presence evokes a sense of inexplicable fear and awe, as if they were beings from another world.
"So it was that guy. He actually came here. No wonder Miss Ouyang said this place was interesting. So that's what he meant."
Upon sensing the girl's presence, Ying Wuyang immediately remembered who she was.
"Hmm? You know him?"
Upon hearing Ying Wuyang's words, Yan Shaoqing moved slightly closer and asked in a low voice.
"I wouldn't say I know them, I'd just say I'm acquainted with them."
Ying Wuyang shook his head.
"who?"
“‘Vampire Princess’ Zeppesh”.
"hiss--"
Upon hearing this name, Yan Shaoqing couldn't help but gasp in the damp, chilly air inside the cave.
Although he was not a lord.
However, the lord rankings are still visible.
This guy is a prime example of someone who rose to prominence unexpectedly.
Now that almost everyone of any standing knows about the 'Lords' War,' Zepesh, who has been challenging Ninitye, one of the other 'Four Lords' and 'High Priestess of the Underworld,' since his appearance, is considered by many to be the most likely candidate to become the 'Fifth Man.'
However, I never expected that this guy whose territory was in the west would actually run to the east because of the dungeon.
"Huh? A dungeon?"
Yan Shaoqing suddenly noticed the key point.
You guessed it?
"Tsk tsk, I guessed it, but suddenly I don't want to guess it..."
Yan Shaoqing said with a pained expression.
Enter the instance portal from the west and travel to the east.
Isn't that clearly saying that all the instances they entered before were new continents?
No! Saying it's a new continent is a bit inaccurate.
It's less like a new continent and more like another world.
And if all these descending monsters, magical beasts, and magic all come from another world...
Then many things seem to make sense.
"You knew about this all along?"
Having figured this out, Yan Shaoqing turned his head and looked at Ying Wuyang with a sour face.
"Hmm... Rather than saying I knew it all along, it's more accurate to say that anyone who becomes a lord should know it."
Ying Wuyang spread his hands and shrugged.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
"Anyway, with your intelligence, you'll figure it out sooner or later."
"Tsk..."
Faced with Ying Wuyang's retort, Yan Shaoqing could only click his tongue in response.
"So, Miss Ouyang, how do you intend to punish her?"
While Yan Shaoqing and Ying Wuyang were chatting, Cai Peishi on the other side also asked about Ouyang Qianjin.
"It depends on what you gained this time and what your mission was."
Miss Ouyang smiled slightly.
There was no clear explanation of what kind of punishment she was referring to.
In reality, all the laws and punishments are just high-sounding words from Ouyang Qianjin.
After all, the law is still being drafted and penalties have not yet been introduced.
In fact, to put it bluntly, laws are just something for the purpose of making management easier.
It's not needed by the other lords at all.
To be honest, the 'punishment' of Cai Peishi is just a matter of Ouyang Qianjin's thought and word.
Anyway, the first law of Whale State is 'everything is based on the young lady's mood'.
This clause, so subjective it couldn't be more subjective, directly places all the power of interpretation in the hands of Ouyang Qianjin.
"Is this an interrogation?"
"You could also consider it casual conversation."
"Would it be possible to get a hunting license now?"
"It might not be possible now, since the license hasn't been issued yet. Even if you wanted to get a replacement, I couldn't provide one."
Ouyang Qianjin's answer was as casual as if she were joking.
"What can we do then? They can't let me complete the mission, and they can't give me the license, so it seems that the only option left is to fight here."
As he said this, Tsepesh's aura suddenly intensified.
A sudden, pungent smell of blood filled the entire cave.
Those in black tuxedos who were originally fighting the Frost Spider leader, except for those who were being restrained, quickly came to Tsepesh's side.
It was only then that Ouyang Qianjin and her group realized that, apart from those who were fighting the leader, there were others.
Surprisingly, there were quite a few other black dresses in this cave.
Judging from the scale, there are at least several thousand people.
However, considering that when they came out of the cave, each of them had a dagger held to their throat by a man in a black suit, it's likely that there were many people guarding the other cave entrances as well, to prevent any interference.
"Those are bats, right?"
"Vampire transformation?"
"It looks pretty cool."
"I wonder if it can turn into smoke and disappear instantly or something."
"Maybe it will work? After all, they're vampires, so having a smoke ability is quite reasonable, right?"
Yan Shaoqing and the others whispered about what they had just witnessed.
"This is...a threat?"
Ouyang Qianjin tilted her head, looking a little dazed, and blinked as she looked at Cai Peishi and asked.
"You can think of it that way, but more than threats, I'm actually more interested in knowing the gap between us."
After all, it was a rare opportunity to finally meet the legendary number one leader, a figure whose name was only known but never seen.
Anyway.
The proud Tsepesh still wanted to test the gap between himself and his opponent.
Let's see if there's any way to bring it down from its pedestal.
