The previous war spirit, Xuan Yuantian, died in battle, and the Tianfu Special Forces suffered nearly half its losses, with Leng Yue forever falling into the abyss.
"Seeing an object reminds me of someone?"
As Jiang Yuan was deep in thought, a voice rang out without warning. The God-Slaying Bow immediately drew its bow, and the unique divine aura made him wary.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yuan didn't expect that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden would appear in Ancheng at this time and enter the Temple of Fortune. Apart from Liu Zhaodi, anyone else entering would be sensed, which means that Liu Zhaodi knew in advance that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had appeared here.
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden calmly sat on her divine throne, her hands resting on her sides, and said aloofly, "Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king. As one of the nine companion gods of the Emperor Star, is there any place on this land that I cannot set foot on?"
"Oh!"
Jiang Yuan smiled coldly, drawing the God-Slaying Bow to its full draw. The Blood Dragon Secret Bone, flashing red light on the bowstring, was particularly dazzling, like a vicious dragon ready to devour its prey.
"Fine, I'll give you the short-sightedness!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who had risen from her divine throne, was seething with hatred. If it were anyone else, she would have chopped them up and fed them to the dogs, but Jiang Yuan was clearly not someone she could chop up.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan relaxed his strength, but still asked warily, "Speak, what are you doing here?"
These are turbulent times, and although he is not afraid of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, he does not want to offend the divine race.
Why did you refuse my invitation?
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden explained her purpose, then said aggressively, "This is a traditional method for achieving godhood established on the battlefield. Your refusal to participate is not only disrespectful to me, but also to all the accompanying gods throughout history. My sister and the great god Pangu have been so kind to humanity, yet you..."
Jiang Yuan raised his hand to interrupt the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's incessant chatter, and said directly, "Don't misunderstand, I don't look down on Pangu and Nuwa, I simply look down on you!"
He glanced at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who was dressed in her finest attire. This woman must be eager to get rid of him. If it were just a banquet for one person, it would be fine, but the gathering of the Companion God Group must have included the top experts of the three thousand races. He was afraid that he would not return once he went there.
"very good!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden seemed to have anticipated Jiang Yuan's irritating answer. She coldly said, "Since you're not going, then I'll give the human race's spot to Liu Zhaodi."
"She won't go." Jiang Yuan was very certain. Liu Zhaodi would consult him about everything, including attending the banquet of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
However, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden simply smiled and said, "Is that so? Then do you know why I'm here?"
Jiang Yuan's expression was somewhat gloomy. That's right, Liu Zhaodi must have known that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was here. In other words, Liu Zhaodi hoped that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could persuade her to attend this banquet for powerful individuals representing three thousand races who had the potential to become gods.
As for the reason, Liu Zhaodi must have had her own reasons. As it turns out, in many aspects, Liu Zhaodi had a vision that surpassed his.
"Aquaman will also be participating this time."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden added a reminder, then continued, "In fact, many times those in power do not need to participate in the struggles below. For example, in naval and land wars, what does it matter if those below fight to the death? Those in power only need to eat, drink, and be merry, and continue to pursue the supreme divine path. All living beings are ants, but I am a god."
"You mean, I can sit down and have a drink with the high-ranking members of the sea tribe? Make friends?" Jiang Yuan almost laughed to himself; he hadn't expected the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to be such a naive woman.
"Not friends, but business partners."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden smiled inexplicably. She glanced at the array pattern fragment in Jiang Yuan's hand, said nothing more, and simply said, "Setting up an array, is that right? What a coincidence, I am a demigod-level array master. Do you need my help?"
"I wouldn't dare! I don't want to plant a mine on my own territory!" Jiang Yuan refused without even thinking. He didn't dare use the formation that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had helped him set up; who knew if it was meant to be used against the enemy or against himself?
"You, who have survived the tribulation of the Trinity, how come you are still so timid?" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said with a mocking tone.
"Excuse me!"
Jiang Yuan used the power of Hongmeng to force the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden aside, and then set up an array on his own.
This scene infuriated the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. Looking at the unperturbed figure, she gritted her teeth and muttered, "What a slowpoke! She didn't even realize the great calamity had come ahead of schedule, and yet she came to me to entrust her 'orphan'!"
"Hmph, you can fight the sea creatures yourself. I'm not playing with you anymore!"
Unable to bear the neglect, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden turned to leave.
"You can leave, but leave the invitation. If I have time, I can take a stroll around without it taking up too much time!"
