She stood there quietly, dressed in a black dress, like the most alluring lotus flower in the dark night, making even the moonlight in the sky dazzling.
When Shen Qian appeared, Tantai Qin also seemed to sense something and raised her head. Their eyes met, and both of them were somewhat stunned.
Shen Qian was simply captivated by the other person's beauty and the aloof and independent aura they exuded, while Tantai Qin's gaze was far more complex.
Although Shen Qian was excited, he did not say anything at this moment, because there was more than just Tantai Qin in this garden.
In reality, the situation here is far more complex than I imagined before I went down.
To Shen Qian's left, more than ten people stood with weapons in hand, watching Shen Qian warily as he barged in.
They all exuded a deep and imposing aura, and their cultivation levels were all above the Mountain and Sea realms. In particular, the two leaders gave Shen Qian an extremely strong sense of threat.
What surprised Shen Qian the most was that he recognized the person standing on the left.
Although the other person was wearing a golden armor and had a completely different aura, and the two had only met once before, he would never forget that face.
Because their only encounter involved life and death.
"Nie Han!"
"Sinking forward?"
As Shen Qian narrowed his eyes and called out the other person's name, the other person was also looking at Shen Qian with an extremely gloomy expression, which was quite complicated.
Yes, this young man in his thirties was Nie Han, the fifth disciple of Meiyuan. He was once the genius Shan Hai who had no chance against Chen Qian in Beiwu. However, on the same day, he was also killed by his fourth senior brother Wu Jun, who was protecting Chen Qian. Only his spiritual core remained.
It's not surprising that the other party came back to life; after all, Wang Shuo is alive, and Yanshan Gong couldn't possibly ignore Nie Han.
The fact that the other party appeared here, both in terms of time and place, was quite strange.
The golden armor worn by the opponent was clearly unique to celestial generals, which undoubtedly indicated that the opponent had most likely also stolen an Ascension Token.
"You're the one who sank in front?"
At this moment, the young man standing to Nie Han's right chuckled and looked at Shen Qian with great interest.
Although he was smiling, the light in his eyes was particularly eerie.
Shen Qian's gaze then shifted to the unfamiliar young man, who was wearing a Taoist robe with a faint golden light emanating from his body.
Shen Qian couldn't immediately recognize what celestial position the other party held, but their attire suggested they were one of the gods of Heaven.
"And who are you?" Shen Qian frowned as he sensed the palpable killing intent in the other person's gaze.
"Ning Quan," the young man chuckled, "my good-for-nothing sister died at your hands, and Jiang Huan even injured my father. We have a lot of scores to settle!"
"Are you the son of the Duke of Tianning?"
He was startled before he sank.
Consort Ning was the youngest daughter of the Duke of Tianning. He had long heard that the Duke of Tianning had another son, but he had never met him.
“Be careful, Shen Qian. This Ning Quan achieved the Mountain and Sea Realm decades ago. He looks young, but he's actually older than me. Back when he was in China, he was a renowned genius. However, it's said that he broke the law and fled overseas…”
At this moment, Hu Feiwei, who had finally caught up, also heard Ning Quan introduce himself. He quickly moved closer and lowered his voice.
“Overseas?” Shen Qian was taken aback.
"It seems he went to work as a guard in an ancient prison under the jurisdiction of the Martial Arts Department."
Although Grandpa Hu's cultivation level wasn't that high, he was still a veteran expert in the Mountain and Sea realms and knew a bit about gossip. After searching through his memories, he said...
"Is he a prison guard?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qian's gaze towards Ning Quan became much more serious.
Not long ago, his fifth senior brother Ling Xiao had explained to him that there are three special types of existences in the mountains and seas: the ancient mountains and seas, the mountains and seas behind the "gates", and the mountains and seas guarded by the prison.
These people are virtually unknown in the circle of ordinary martial artists, but they are all incredibly powerful.
Ordinary mountains and seas simply cannot compare to it.
Unexpectedly, I encountered a prison guard named Shan Hai so soon before I sank in.
Moreover... their positions are naturally opposed, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them mortal enemies, after all, Shen Qian killed Consort Ning.
"I spent thirteen years in prison before that bastard Wu Wei finally relented and let me work as a prison guard in the dark overseas. Damn it, that was a full twenty-eight years! You can't even imagine what life was like!"
Even though Grandpa Hu had blocked the transmission of sound, Ning Quan still heard their conversation. He chuckled and interrupted them.
"How dare you insult a king or nobleman?"
Grandpa Hu was taken aback by Ning Quan's arrogance.
"What's there to be afraid of? Do you think he'll let me off the hook if I don't curse him?"
Ning Quan laughed heartily.
Hu Feiwei didn't understand what was going on, but Shen Qian knew more inside information.
The three ancient prisons overseas had long since fallen, according to the Earl of Pingyang, because the guards had betrayed them and released all the prisoners.
Without a doubt, Ning Quan was one of them.
This is the reason why the other party could so brazenly insult Wu Wei.
He had long been a traitor to the human race, so naturally he had no scruples.
What truly weighed heavily on Shen Qian's mind was that Nie Han, the fifth disciple of Plum Garden and a direct disciple of Duke Yanshan, had brazenly stood alongside Ning Quan.
If the Marquis of Tuodong is behind the defection incident overseas, does that mean that the Duke of Yanshan also had some kind of tacit understanding with the other party?
Shen Qian disliked Yanshan Gong, but still did not want to see this scene.
"Ning Quan, don't forget the important matter..."
