Chapter 1114: I heard a new person has arrived
Having one's destiny torn apart in front of them and then leaving is something that even if the Qinggu Divine Kingdom were to reclaim it, it would be difficult to completely salvage their reputation. Not to mention that several months have passed since the incident and the Divine Kingdom has done nothing.
It's impossible to do.
It's as if the sins committed by the ancestors of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom have become a curse, and now the prestige and foundation of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom have been greatly diminished.
The news of the reappearance of the great enemy of the era is now widely circulated.
Whether others believe it or not is another matter, but the cultivators of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom certainly believe it completely.
After all, they are the ones who suffer losses.
Of course, these younger generation members did not actually suffer a great loss. After all, they were still young and their connection with the divine kingdom's fortune was still relatively shallow, so the loss was not considered serious.
But their elders were truly unlucky.
The young people didn't dare to say anything. They just came to these rich and powerful places to enjoy the good things in life whenever they had free time, instead of making themselves unhappy.
Qingyin was deliberately bringing up a sore spot; he shouldn't have said such things, which would have ruined the atmosphere. However, he was the most powerful and influential person present, so no one else had any intention of interfering.
"I'm not talking about me anymore."
Qingyin gave a signal, and his female companion immediately filled the glass.
"I heard that the Grand Preceptor recently took on a new disciple, a cultivator from elsewhere?"
Another woman put down her jade cup, her tone tinged with resentment: "Yes, she's a young female cultivator named Qin Yiyao. The Imperial Preceptor values her highly, not only personally instructing her but also granting her special permission to enter the 'Azure Ancient Divine Tower' to comprehend the Dao of the Dynasty!"
"That's the top secret realm of the divine kingdom! How could they allow this wild girl of unknown origin to enter it! It's a disgrace to the reputation of our divine kingdom!"
Upon hearing this, the other person seemed to seize the opportunity and retorted, "I think you don't care about the fame of the divine kingdom, but rather why you are not qualified to enter it."
"you……"
The woman, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, was about to lash out when her friend pulled her back.
Of course.
They were all descendants of the most powerful and influential people in the divine kingdom, so it was alright for them to casually say hurtful things to each other.
Qingyin's gaze turned much colder as he held his cup and muttered to himself.
"My Qinggu Divine Kingdom has recently lost face and everyone is suffering. At such a time, there are still some people who are living quite comfortably."
"The world is really going downhill."
This statement came out.
The expressions on the faces of the others froze instantly.
Who else could the Twelfth Prince be referring to besides the Imperial Preceptor, whose status is second only to the Divine Lord?
In the Qinggu Divine Kingdom, Gu Ce not only wielded great power, but also harbored rebellious intentions.
This is a fact known to everyone.
Although nominally still a subject, he had long harbored the ambition to rival the Divine Lord. The court and the public were well aware of this, but because the Grand Preceptor was indeed exceptionally talented, the Divine Kingdom could not do without him for many important matters. Moreover, the Divine Kingdom had lost two of its retainers, resulting in a severe shortage of top-tier combat power...
Ironically, it's true.
The resurgence of the great enemy of the era turned out to be a great help to Gu Ce.
Currently, the only top-tier combat forces in the Qinggu Divine Kingdom, besides the Qinggu Divine Lord, are the Imperial Preceptor and the Grand Elder.
Today, Gu Ce's significance to the Qinggu Divine Kingdom far surpasses that of the past!
He's gone.
Then the Qinggu Divine Kingdom is about to fall into a great calamity.
But just because you can see something clearly doesn't mean you can bear it without any emotional reaction.
This is especially true for those who are not affiliated with the Imperial Preceptor. The powerful families, kings, and generals behind these younger generations are united around the Divine Lord and do not belong to the Imperial Preceptor's side.
They weren't getting along well to begin with, and now it's like a fishbone stuck in their throat; they just can't get along.
"I haven't met Qin Yiyao yet."
Qingyin suddenly said.
There was a moment of silence at the table.
Has anyone seen her?
A prince from a collateral branch of the Qinggu Divine Clan slowly spoke: "I have seen her before."
All eyes turned to them.
"how?"
Qingyin didn't even look up.
The young man in purple paused, seemingly considering his words: "Extremely handsome."
"……strength."
Qingyin frowned slightly, as if anger was gathering.
"The first level of the Creation Realm".
The young man in purple thought it over carefully, but he didn't dare say how much he had seen clearly. After all, his mind wasn't very sharp, and his observations were not very detailed. He was too focused on her slender figure and exquisite appearance.
However, there were some unusual things that he wouldn't ignore, even though Qin Yiyao was incredibly beautiful.
"Furthermore, although she is clearly a cultivator, her path is subtly aligned with the Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Wanchao civilization, which is truly bizarre."
Upon hearing this, Qingyin drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
“Since the Imperial Preceptor values her so much,” he put down his cup, his voice calm, “why not invite her over for a chat? We should also do our duty as hosts and see what makes this esteemed disciple of the Imperial Preceptor so remarkable.”
During the meal, the guests exchanged glances, all sensing the underlying meaning in the conversation.
to be frank.
They should not have too much contact with the National Preceptor's faction, especially during this time when the aftermath of such turmoil has not yet subsided.
The elders of the clan had all warned that even the elders could not easily offend Gu Ce, let alone these noble children. If they caused any trouble, the Grand Preceptor would not only ignore the younger generation's commotion, but if they were to take it seriously, none of them would escape unscathed.
But Qingyin had already made a decision.
The others decided not to try to persuade them.
……
Qin Yiyao was sitting on the third floor of the Qinghuang Palace, staring blankly at the scenery outside.
There was only one cup of spiritual tea on the table.
It tastes awful; it's not as good as the one Master brewed.
She returned to Qinggu Divine Capital three days ago.
After leaving the fleet, she used the spatial talisman given to her by Gu Ce to teleport directly to the edge of the Qinggu Divine Kingdom's territory, and then it took her quite some time to reach the capital.
When coming back.
The ancient capital still retained a chilling, ominous atmosphere from top to bottom.
Regardless of whether that great enemy of the era has truly been resurrected, the Qinggu Divine Kingdom has certainly suffered a severe blow.
The Imperial Advisor Gu Ce summoned her on the day she returned and briefly inquired about the situation. It was then that Qin Yiyao learned that not long after she left, Qing Yixuan and her group had been ambushed.
of course.
The outcome of the ambush also surprised her.
No matter how much she broadens her horizons, there will always be results beyond her imagination, and Qin Yiyao should be used to this by now.
That's what they say, but the fact that more than twenty conceptual realm experts died and disappeared is still too shocking.
Qin Yiyao didn't pay much attention to the important matter that had nothing to do with her. In the end, Gu Ce didn't say much either, only telling her to rest first and that he would call her over at an opportune time to tell her some "particularly important" secrets.
Since the time wasn't right, she decided to find a way to rest.
After spending so much time on the ship, Qin Yiyao felt she needed a change of pace.
So she came to Qinghuangque.
just.
I don't feel very comfortable here.
She doesn't quite fit in.
