Zhang Qiling stared at the alluring and alluring Thousand Sunsets in his palm and said coldly, "If Prince Rui is being watched... Not the god's camp? "
His words caused the Plethora Gem Tower's boss to be shocked. He blurted out, "That group of people was obviously sent by Emperor Zhou. How could they not be the God's opportunity camp?"
Zhang Qiling slowly folded his hands. When he finally loosened his grip, the flower had already wilted, no longer as beautiful as it was before. "No one has ever said that the God of Fortune Camp is in the hands of the Zhou Emperor."
The boss's eyelids jumped, he had already understood what he meant. He frowned and said: "But all this time, the Shen Ji Camp has always belonged to the North Zhou Tianzi, no exception for the past hundred years."
Zhang Qiling casually threw the broken flower out of the window and wiped his hands with a handkerchief placed on the shelf. "It doesn't mean that there were none in the past, but there's always an exception, isn't there?"
The Myriad Treasures Store's boss hesitated, "But that was the God Arena, would there really be such an accident?"
"Have you forgotten about the Pavilion of Emerald?" Zhang Qiling said coldly, "I can't understand why the Zhou Emperor would want to build another Emerald Pavilion. Although the Green Pavilion could gather information, it would be difficult for the Zhou Emperor to enter the great hall of elegance. Now that I think about it, the Divine Battalion isn't in the hands of the Zhou Emperor, if I'm not wrong, the person who owns them should be King Rui."
If Mu Qianxue was here, she would definitely marvel at the meticulousness of his thoughts. Just based on this tiny clue, and without even personally seeing it, she would have accurately deduced the location of the God's opportunity camp.
With such wisdom and thoughts, he was almost on the same level as Mu Qianxue; was such a character really just a mere young master from a wealthy family?
"King Rui?" The owner of the pavilion looked at Zhang Qiling in surprise. No matter what, he had not expected Zhang Qiling to say something like that. He said doubtfully, "According to what I know, King Rui cannot be the emperor's pet. It can't be him."
"Do you have a better explanation?" Zhang Qiling's retort left the Plethora Gem Tower's boss at a loss for words. After a while, he asked, "Then what do we do now? Tell Emperor Zhou about the Myriad Treasures Store?"
Zhang Qiling raised a hand to stroke a strand of black hair that hung over his chest. He turned around and stared at the pavilion owner with a smile that wasn't a smile. "You're really considerate for Emperor Zhou's sake.
Although it seemed like a simple sentence, it made the boss of the Plethora Gem Pavilion pale. He quickly kneeled down and said, "I was only thinking about this matter that would make the relationship between King Rui and Emperor Zhou fall out. That's why I gave you this suggestion. I'm not thinking for the emperor. Please enlighten me!"
Zhang Qiling smiled and stretched out his slender white hands to help him up. "I was just joking with you. Why are you so nervous? Hurry up and get up." After the latter stood up, he slowly said, "There's no need to reveal all of our cards to the Emperor. Wouldn't it be better to keep a few to play with?" Pausing for a moment, he said, "Based on my calculations, the monthly auction held by the Myriad Treasures Pavilion should be starting soon. What items have been prepared?"
The owner of the pavilion didn't understand why he suddenly asked about this, but he still said respectfully, "I have prepared a few items from the Han Dynasty. Also, the most important thing is a piece of Sky Black Iron."
The so-called outer space black iron was a piece of iron that fell from the sky. When it fell, it would bring along a huge flame, and as long as some iron was mixed with ordinary pig iron, it would make the weapons that were forged especially sharp. If all the iron was forged from outer space black iron, then it would be a divine weapon. However, a piece of Mysterious Sky Iron was rarely seen. It would only appear once every few decades, and every time it appeared, it would cause countless people to rush to it, especially those Sword Craftsmen who were willing to give up everything to obtain one.
Zhang Qiling pondered for a moment and said, "Aside from the Mysterious Sky Metal, there is another auction. However, it is not a physical auction. There are three problems."
The boss of the Plethora Gem Pavilion asked doubtfully, "Please forgive this subordinate's stupidity. I do not understand what you mean."
Zhang Qiling smiled and said, "If you release the news, say that you have invited the direct disciple of Old Man Tianji and can answer three questions for the highest bidder."
The Old Man Tianji that Zhang Qiling spoke of was a reclusive old man who resided in Mount Kunlun. It was said that he had lived for more than a hundred years, knew everything, and knew everything. If he could meet the Old Man Tianji and receive some pointers from him, he would benefit from it for the rest of his life.
Many people did not mind his words and went to Mount Kunlun to search for him day in and day out. There was no lack of generals among them, but most of them came back empty-handed. Only a few people were lucky enough to see him and were able to relieve themselves of their predicament.
Old Man Tianji's direct disciple — these words contained an astonishing weight. Once these words were spread, one could believe that the threshold of this place would be broken in less than three days.
The boss of the Plethora Gem Tower exclaimed, "Sir, regarding the matter of you following Elder Destiny, Master has repeatedly instructed me not to let anyone else know."
Zhang Qiling flicked his fingernail, "I didn't ask you to reveal my identity. Why are you so nervous? Outsiders only know that you are Old Man Tianji's disciple. It has nothing to do with Zhang Qiling."
"Young master, what are you trying to do?"
Zhang Qiling smiled faintly. Under the orange candlelight, that smile seemed to be able to charm people. "You'll know when the time comes. Remember, this matter must be transmitted to the Emperor's ears."
The boss of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was extremely efficient. Within two days, the news of the sect inviting the direct disciple of Old Man Tianji had spread throughout the entire Jinling City. This matter had been discussed everywhere, and even the Zhaoming Palace was abuzz with the news.
At the same time, another piece of news was spreading through the Palace of Brilliance. It was said that King Rui had been wounded by an arrow during his fight with the Qi Army. He might not be able to survive anymore.
Compared to the mysterious Old Man Tianji, this news had no doubt captivated everyone in the palace. King Rui was seriously injured, which meant that if the hundreds of thousands of soldiers attacked again, the entire army would be defeated. At that time, the Qi Chu would be at Jinling.
In a short period of time, the people in the palace were panicking and thinking, but for the time being, they did not make any unusual movements. Right at this moment, a letter was delivered to Lu Yi, who, after reading it, immediately went to the imperial study to see Dong Fuan.
After listening to her report, Dongfang Shao sucked in a breath of cold air. "They're all dead?"
Yes, no one survived. One strike was fatal and clean. It can be seen that their opponent's martial arts are far above theirs." With every word that she said, Dong Fang's expression grew even uglier. After a long while, he let out a sigh and sneered, "What a great seventh brother. He raised such a group of experts behind our back without saying a word. This really makes me look at him in a new light.
"Your Majesty, did you need this servant to send a new batch of people to monitor King Rui?"
