Marquis of Tuodong?
Qu Bai and the others who had retreated to a distance, as well as the martial artists who were still watching from the surrounding area, all had drastic changes in expression.
Not only because they heard the name of this supposedly defector king again, but also because they finally learned the identities of the six unfamiliar powerful figures surrounding Shen Qian.
Even though their cultivation level was insufficient to see through the essence of the other's soul at a glance like Tantai Qin and Shen Qian, they could still sense the faint oppressive aura emanating from these six people, a strange aura that was incompatible with the "Sea of Learning".
At this moment, Shen Qian exposed the other party's identity, which they found utterly unbelievable.
How could a king or nobleman possibly enter the "sea of learning"?
Even if what appears here is only a clone of their consciousness, or a part of their original soul power, a king is still a king, and the difference in their life level determines the essential difference.
If the soul power of the Mountain and Sea stage is water, then the soul power of the King and Noble stage is stone; even a tiny grain of stone can easily penetrate water.
In other words, the kings and nobles appearing here are simply beings that transcend the rules, let alone six of them appearing at once?
But Shen Qian thought about things much more than they did.
The "Sea of Learning" has existed for millions of years. Perhaps with the passage of time, the rules that were originally established have slowly begun to loosen. But even so, how could Wu Wei and others remain unaware when kings and nobles infiltrate it?
There were ten kings and nobles present at the time!
Others might not know before they sank, but Wu Wei must have been there in his true form, because he needed to ensure the safety of everyone's main body and would never send a clone to cover it up. So why didn't he discover the trickery of these six people?
And those five hundred ghost clan members...
If the king's methods were indeed skillful, then those people's cultivation levels varied greatly. When their souls left their bodies, they should have been extremely conspicuous among ordinary martial artists.
What exactly is blinding them?
What power could possibly deceive the senses of kings and nobles?
An answer is already clearly visible.
"Thanks to you, I have been disgraced among the human race. Did you ever imagine that we would meet again so soon?"
Marquis Tuodong did not conceal his identity, but stared at Shen Qianhan and said in a cold voice.
"And who are you?"
Shen Qian ignored the treacherous person and turned his attention to the other five people. After carefully examining their soul auras, he seemed to sense something.
"Lord Tianning... there is the aura of a strange beast in your soul, you are Marquis Liegu, right... and you, the lingering aura of King Qin Guang, you are Marquis Zhao of Qin..."
Shen Qian's gaze swept across the group, and he quickly recognized three of them.
Needless to say, Tianning Gong was the easiest to identify because Shen Qian had even fought with him before. He also recognized the other two because of their unique auras.
But there were two others who weren't so sure about what to do before they went down.
"Marquis Zhaoyuan also has..."
Tantai Qin, who was standing next to her, was obviously more familiar with the kings and nobles. She quickly recognized the fifth person, but when she got to the last person, she hesitated, as if she recognized something but was not quite sure.
"You are... Marquis Yongye?"
Tantai Qin finally spoke, though she seemed somewhat uncertain.
"Marquis Yongye?" Shen Qian was bewildered. Although he had not met all the kings and marquises, he had done some basic research, but he was certain that he had never heard of this name before.
"The Marquis of Eternal Night, as far as I know, perished more than a hundred years ago. He used his life to seal an S-level 'gate'."
Tantai Qin offered an explanation.
"What?"
Shen Qian was startled, not only because this was a king who should have died, but also because of the other party's past deeds.
So far, Shen Qian has never seen a "door" of grade A or above, but it is conceivable that even a grade A "door" poses a danger at the level of a king or marquis, and a grade S "door" would be even more terrifying.
And indeed, that was the case; it was a place capable of burying top-ranking kings and nobles.
"Moon Goddess, I didn't expect you to still remember me."
The man known as the Marquis of Eternal Night spoke, his tone tinged with regret, "Back then, you had just been awakened from behind the 'door' by Han Chi. We met once in the Plum Garden, but only once. After that, I rushed to the 'door,' and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed. Things have changed."
"So you've always known about my past, but my teacher never told me..."
Tantai Qin's eyes flickered slightly, confirming something from Yongye Hou's words.
At this moment, Shen Qian sensed a hint of loneliness emanating from Tantai Qin.
She must still have some feelings for Han Chi, who has taught her for a hundred years. Although Shen Qian doesn't know why Han Chi accepted Tantai Qin as his eldest disciple, even a fool would know that his motives were impure.
Although Tantai Qin was not good at social skills, it did not mean she was not smart; she may have already sensed something.
The reason for the sinking alone could not have caused a rift between Tantai Qin and Han Chi.
He gently squeezed Tantai Qin's icy fingers to comfort her.
"I'm more curious about how a king who was once willing to die for the safety of humanity has fallen to the point of becoming someone else's lackey?"
Shen Qian sighed, "You haven't shown your face for a hundred years. You must have been living a dark and hopeless life like a snake or rat... Tsk tsk, where is your face as a king?"
Marquis Yongye's face darkened. "You and your master both like to meddle in other people's business, but your words are much harsher than your teacher's!"
"You've seen the teacher?" Shen Qian sensed something strange in those words and asked urgently, "When!"
"Hehe, no need to rush. If nothing unexpected happens, you and your master will be reunited in another place soon!"
Marquis Zhaoyuan sneered, "Oh, sorry, I forgot, the cycle of reincarnation has long since collapsed. You probably won't even have the chance to meet in the underworld anymore."
