Liu Changqing immediately yielded, and without hesitation, he waved his hand and took out a bunch of treasures from his spatial ring.
Shen Qian glanced sideways and realized that Liu Changqing had long been prepared to take out a portion of the treasures.
Sixth Senior Brother may seem like a scoundrel, but he's actually more clear-headed than anyone else!
Even though it was only 30% of the treasures, they instantly piled up into a small mountain on the ground.
Fortunately, Liu Changqing had cleared out the space beforehand; otherwise, even with their combined spatial equipment, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold that much stuff.
Even so, their personal storage space was almost full, even after discarding some less valuable items.
"More or less." Marquis Xuanming glanced around, nodded slightly, and then waved his hand to collect all the treasures on the ground.
As for how Marquis Xuanming will compensate those mountains and seas, Shen Qian and Liu Changqing need not worry about it; the Marquis has his own methods.
"Liu Changqing, most of the mountain and sea formations at the entrance have dissipated. You should go out and wait."
After the matter was over, Marquis Xuanming said calmly.
"What about Chen Qian?" Liu Changqing sensed something was wrong.
Marquis Xuanming did not answer Liu Changqing's question, but simply waved his hand lightly.
Before he knew it, everything went blurry. When he came to his senses, he was standing high in the sky, with Marquis Xuanming beside him. Liu Changqing was nowhere to be seen.
"Before I go, I have something to ask you."
"Lord Xuanming, please ask!"
Realizing that some of his earlier doubts would be resolved as a result, Chen Qian answered respectfully.
"You said you came here by passing through a 'door,' then why are you inside the 'door,' and what is that place over there?"
"Lord Xuanming, this is what happened..."
Shen Qian had already mentally prepared his account, so he recounted the events without hesitation.
He always remembered the principle that "no one can lie to a king or nobleman," so his words were quite clever.
According to Shen Qian, he stumbled into the sect because he found the opportunity to "transform primordial energy into power." To Wang Hou, this naturally led him to believe that Shen Qian was trying to break through the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Shen Qian told the truth about what he saw inside the gate, but he didn't mention Tantai Qin.
The final escape was, of course, also a "chance encounter." Before sinking, the person was under the control of the system and knew nothing about the outside world, so it cannot be considered a lie.
As expected, after listening, Marquis Xuanming nodded slightly and first looked at Shen Qian with admiration, "As expected of the martial arts champion selected by the Martial Arts Department, who has never been before, he has already stepped into the Mountain and Sea realm before he is even twenty years old. This is rare in ancient and modern times."
After a pause, Marquis Xuanming finally got to the point, "You said that behind the 'door' is the ancient Heavenly Court?"
"It's possible," Shen Qian said cautiously.
Then Marquis Xuanming asked many more questions about the details, which Shen Qian answered one by one.
After finding out the details, Marquis Xuanming nodded with a sigh, "It seems there are still many hidden stories behind the incident involving the military in Jiangzhong ten years ago."
"Lord 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. The Marquis of Pingyang has been handling that matter entirely, and he rarely reveals any inside information."
Marquis Xuanming said calmly, "I remember asking him about it once during a casual chat, but he didn't say a word."
Shen Qian felt a jolt in his heart.
Ten years have passed since that incident, and now the Earl of Pingyang is the principal of Jiangzhong Military Academy. Does he really know nothing about what's going on behind that "door"?
The more Shen Qian thought about it, the more unlikely it seemed.
"Lord Xuanming, Jiang Chengye's behavior is somewhat abnormal, and those resurrected heavenly soldiers are also digging up ancient corpses. Could there be something going on here..."
The reason Shen Qian told Xuanming Hou the detailed situation inside the Heavenly Court was also due to some hidden worries.
He always felt that there was an even greater secret hidden within the Heavenly Court.
Moreover, it also involves scavengers who are completely opposed to the urban humans; who knows what kind of conspiracy might be involved?
"It's alright. Now that I know about this, they can't cause any trouble."
Marquis Xuanming smiled nonchalantly.
He felt relieved after sinking.
If even top-tier kings and nobles couldn't do anything about it when there were already precautions in place, then he would be even more helpless.
"Shenqian, did you see King Taiyi in the Divine Mechanism Hall?" Marquis Xuanming asked again.
"It should just be a projection, but according to Sixth Senior Brother, something doesn't seem right..."
Although Lao Liu had given Shen Qian some instructions, considering that Xuanming Hou might have overheard their conversation, Shen Qian still told the truth.
For some reason, this time Marquis Xuanming asked extremely detailed questions, including the specifics of King Taiyi's words. He only stopped asking after Shen Qian repeated them several times.
Perhaps sensing Shen Qian's confusion, Xuanming Hou glanced at Shen Qian thoughtfully and said calmly, "Taiyi King... is my master."
Shen Qian paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that Marquis Xuanming, who was stationed in the East Sea and in charge of monitoring the Wuding Bridge, was actually a disciple of King Taiyi!
No wonder the other party is so concerned about everything concerning King Taiyi.
After all, King Taiyi has been missing for many years, and judging from Marquis Xuanming's behavior, he probably doesn't know where King Taiyi went either.
"Lord Xuanming, did the Taiyi King I saw truly possess his own sentience?" Since Lord Xuanming was Taiyi King's disciple, Shen Qian felt no more burdened and asked directly.
"Judging from your conversation, it's unlikely."
Marquis Xuanming shook his head. "The Divine Mechanism Hall is a treasure left behind by our master. It has its own spirituality and will grant opportunities based on talent. Several people in history have received special gifts. Liu Changqing's information is incomplete."
"I see."
Shen Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
