Shen Qian recalled a conversation he had with Hu Feiwei.
Before sinking, Jiang Chengye asked Old Man Hu why he would risk so much to protect the other party, knowing full well that the other party was a scavenger. Could it be because of her beauty?
Everyone knows the appearance of scavengers; their twisted and ferocious appearance is beyond description, and even the word "ugly" is insufficient to describe it.
But at this moment, when the legendary enchantress from the scavengers, the woman who had bewitched the so-called greatest military genius in Jiangzhong in a hundred years, actually appeared in his sight, Shen Qian realized he was wrong.
Just as Zhao Keyi said, this woman, whose appearance was completely different from that of a normal human, possessed a strange and astonishing beauty.
She wore an elaborate long white gown, her snow-white hair cascading down to her waist, which only made her skin appear even whiter, to an almost ethereal, transparent white.
There were also stained lines on her neck, but unlike the common green or black, it was an extremely pure red. That red peeked out from the snow-white collar, spread all the way up her neck, and finally condensed into a petal-like shape from her temples to her forehead.
Her features, taken individually, look somewhat awkward, but together they create a stunning harmony.
What's most striking is her pupils, one a deep blue and the other a vibrant green.
If I had to describe it, the appearance of this scavenger demoness was like a morbid beauty drawn by a mad painter, completely different from the world.
Zhao Keyi wasn't the only one stunned; perhaps the only one present who showed any different emotion was Hu Feiwei.
"It's her, she hasn't changed..."
Shen Qian was unaware of the details of what happened back then, but he could feel Hu Feiwei trembling beside him, speaking with pain and hatred.
"You should take a look at those scavengers wearing Heavenly General armor."
Seeing that Hu Feiwei hadn't noticed, Shen Qian still quietly reminded him.
"What?"
Hu Feiwei was taken aback at first, then his gaze subconsciously swept over the hundreds of scavenger warriors in the sky. When his gaze swept over some of the familiar figures, Hu Feiwei was shocked.
"Li Sixi, Zhai Bufan, Xiaoxiao...you, you're still alive?!"
Hu Fei was shocked, but his eyes brimmed with joy, and he couldn't help but shout out loud.
The dozen or so names that Hu Feiwei called out were all children who died in the Jiangzhong military disaster. Hu Feiwei built cenotaphs for them in Jingcheng and pays respects to them every year.
He had always believed that everyone was dead except for Jiang Chengye, who had disappeared without a trace.
But soon, that great surprise began to fade when Hu Feiwei realized that his calls went unanswered.
At this moment, Hu Feiwei suddenly realized that those children he had watched grow up, those geniuses who were once known as the pride of Jingcheng, had become scavengers, neither human nor ghost.
Their faces, covered with hideous lines, were now only filled with numbness and indifference; no one even glanced at Hu Feiwei.
"I'm so... I'm sorry, I'm late, so late..."
Hu Feiwei's eyes reddened again. Even though it was not his fault, he cried like a child at this moment.
Seeing this, Shen Qian could only sigh. He was about to say a few words to comfort Old Hu when his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he could no longer care about Old Hu's emotional outburst.
As the demoness approached, he realized that a frail figure was following behind her.
She followed closely behind the demoness as she floated through the air, her delicate face blank and her eyes seemingly devoid of life.
"Jiang Xuan!"
This girl was Jiang Xuan, who had entered the Heavenly Realm with Shen Qian under the influence of the system. Shen Qian had not discovered her whereabouts before, but he did not expect that she was controlled by this demoness.
Shen Qian's pupils contracted, and he almost couldn't suppress the murderous intent in his heart, but he quickly restrained himself and did not make any rash moves.
Because he couldn't see through this enchantress...
Yes, the "Eye of Truth" has failed again.
This suggests two possibilities: one is that the demoness carries some kind of divine artifact that can shield her from detection; the other is that her strength far exceeds expectations, even surpassing Jiang Chengye's current level.
A calm and analytical perspective leans towards the second possibility.
Now that things have come to this, Shen Qian has figured out some things he hadn't thought about in detail before.
For example, even Tantai Qin at that time could send a clone into the Heavenly Realm to investigate. How difficult would that be for a king or noble?
The Earl of Pingyang claimed to have been guarding this "gate" all along, but the sealing strength of this "gate" was clearly only average. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the system was in the art of formations, it would not have been possible to pass through this "gate" under the noses of kings and nobles.
Not to mention the martial arts club's long-standing secret surveillance.
Therefore, the kings and nobles must have known some things about what was inside this "gate".
But they haven't made any rash moves. Is it because of the existence of this witch?
At least when Shen Qian entered the Heavenly Realm last time, Jiang Chengye exerted a strong sense of pressure on him, but Shen Qian was certain that Jiang Chengye had not yet broken through to the King-Marquis level at that time.
Upon thinking of this, Chen Qian couldn't help but frown deeply.
Assuming the demoness is also a king-level being, then today's situation is truly troublesome...
His king-lord clone, in terms of combat strength alone, is only average among kings due to the difference in "Dao". However, with the support of two different flames, he is at least not afraid of Jiang Chengye, and can even suppress the opponent.
