The person being stared at by Shen Qian was completely shrouded in a cloak, his face obscured by shadows. It was none other than Xu Nian, the second disciple of Duke Yanshan.
Last time in the underground city, Xu Nian overwhelmed Ling Xiao, Liu Changqing and Shen Qian with her own strength, leaving Shen Qian with a deep impression.
Although Shen Qian possessed the Eye of Truth, he could only barely make out the opponent's demonic appearance last time, and his combat strength remained somewhat unclear.
Regardless, a person who can make Ling Xiao and even Shi Dingyan wary, and a person who can make Elder Gao threaten to kill and who should have been exiled for a thousand years, can both be described as "dangerous".
I didn't expect Xu Nian to come to the Southwest Theater Command, but considering that there are only seven theater commands in the whole of China, this probability is within a reasonable range.
Moreover, Shen Qian vaguely remembered that Ling Tianhou and Xu Nian should not have any connection.
Shen Qian also noticed a young man with a messy beard following behind Xu Nian. Although he had never seen him in real life before, Shen Qian, who had already learned about Yan Shan Gong's disciples from the side, immediately guessed that this should be Guo Zhouyuan, Yan Shan Gong's third disciple.
The second and third brothers are here, so Nie Han and Ji You might also be in the Southwest War Zone. It's just unknown whether Wang Shuo, who is merged with Erlang Shen, is also here.
Another strange thing is that, if Shen Qian remembered correctly, his third senior brother even had some information about Xu Nian, but he didn't know who the seventh disciple of Yanshan Gong was.
Since Wang Shuo was the eighth disciple recruited by Master Yanshan, a fact clearly known to many of his fellow disciples, it means that Master Yanshan must have had a seventh disciple, but this person's information is completely blank, and even his name is unknown...
This is surprisingly similar to the situation among the disciples of the old master Gao.
Shen Qian didn't know who his seventh senior brother or sister was. Neither his teacher nor the other senior brothers and sisters had ever mentioned it. Seeing how secretive they were, Shen Qian always thought that the legendary seventh senior brother might have already perished.
Could it be...?
Shen Qian suddenly thought of an incredibly absurd possibility, but then felt it was too outrageous.
Shaking his head, Shen Qian forcibly dispelled these strange thoughts and led Li Muyi to an inconspicuous spot at the edge of the hall to sit down.
Judging from Xu Nian's position, the other party should not be in a team with a higher number, otherwise Shen Qian would probably have heard of him long ago.
Before long, all the patrol team leaders who were at the base had arrived, and hundreds of powerful warriors from the Mountain and Sea realms gathered in the entire combat hall.
As everyone was exchanging greetings and talking, two figures slowly coalesced on the high platform in front of the hall. Although it was very obvious that they were just clones, they instantly silenced all the powerful martial artists present.
The man on the right has silver hair, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes. He has the appearance of a young man but exudes an extremely imposing aura. He is none other than Ling Tianhou.
The man on the left appeared to be in his thirties or forties, dressed in a long robe, with a refined and scholarly appearance and a gentle smile on his lips. He was none other than Qingcheng Marquis, another powerful figure in the war zone.
"Greetings, Marquis Qingcheng!"
"Greetings, Marquis Lingtian!"
Everyone greeted each other with perfect understanding, placing the more senior Marquis of Qingcheng first.
"Please sit down." Marquis Qingcheng nodded slightly and then nodded to Marquis Lingtian.
Ling Tianhou stepped forward, glanced around, and said loudly, "I have summoned everyone here because of an unexpected situation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tianhou waved his hand, and a holographic image appeared in the air on the side of the hall.
Everyone turned to look, and saw a scorched farmland in the image, with a "gate" made entirely of light spots standing directly above it.
This "gate" was much larger than any "gate" I had ever seen before. Judging from the proportion of farmland, it was at least tens of meters high. The bronze "South Heaven Gate" of the military camp in the river was already extremely large, but it was only half the size of this one.
Around the "gate," above the farmland, although the whole scene was not visible, it was clear that many military facilities had been built, and powerful figures were patrolling high in the sky, indicating that the area was heavily guarded.
"Isn't this the Class A 'gate' near the mountain city?"
Immediately, some martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm couldn't help but whisper.
Is this the Class A "gate" of the mountain city?
Shen Qian's gaze sharpened; he was both surprised and unsurprised by the answer.
It's not surprising because, judging from the size of this "door" and the level of security around it, it should be an A-level "door". What's surprising is that this A-level "door" has been open for quite some time, even before entering the fortress before the sinking.
In recent days, besides sending Yao Jinyang and his small teams in, it is said that Wang Hou has also taken many measures. There has been little discussion about it these days, and Shen Qian thought that this "gate" had been dealt with.
But the fact that all patrol teams were summoned today suggests that something unexpected has happened to this "gate".
The others had obviously thought of this as well, and when they realized that it was the A-level "gate" of the mountain city, a commotion immediately broke out.
Even those present who didn't have a clear concept of how terrifying an A-level "gate" was, after Yao Jinyang and the others came out, they knew for certain that it was a dangerous area capable of burying top-tier mountains and seas.
“This ‘door’ is numbered A-15 and is located near the mountain city. It is not one of the ‘doors’ that were opened more than a hundred years ago or in the early stages of the spiritual energy revival. We only obtained some information about it recently after it was opened.”
After everyone fell silent for a while, Ling Tianhou continued, "Of course, you may already know something about this. A week ago, Yao Jinyang and the others entered through this 'door'."
