Chapter 996 Ji Shuang's Visit
The Divine Fire Imperial Capital.
The masters of the three empires gathered together. After Lu Yun entered the imperial capital with the token, he realized how cruel the competition between the heaven and earth lists was.
Seeing the list announced at the foot of the city wall, Lu Yun couldn't help but take a breath.
Of the three people who came with me to compete for the Earth Ranking, I am the only one left!
Of the fifty-four masters competing for the Earth Ranking in Qingzhou, only dozens are left.
Of course, there are many people among them who have not even triggered the spiritual realm.
It really depends on luck.
Lu Yun also remembered that the young man who was traveling with him and was eliminated was also very powerful.
That’s fine, but what was unexpected was that Yi Zichen was also eliminated!
Thinking back to the spiritual realm I had experienced before, it seemed that this was also a great test on my state of mind.
No wonder the King of Qingzhou said that after he won the first place on the land list, he could negotiate terms with Queen Qin.
The only dozen or so people left in Qingzhou vying for the Earth Ranking were arranged to stay in a rather luxurious restaurant in the city.
In the restaurant, it was inevitable that some dignitaries came up to curry favor.
Because those who can get here are all geniuses or masters from wealthy families.
If you can establish good relationships with them, or even recruit them to work for you, your future will be limitless.
Lu Yun returned to the room and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"I didn't expect that after the Divine Fire Seal and the Dragon Soul were combined, it could actually be sublimated to the Emperor Fire Seal, a whole level higher."
"If I hadn't relied on this Emperor Fire Seal last time, I'm afraid this Tianyi Divine Water Formation would have been enough to make me suffer."
But now the enemy has been alerted, and Queen Qin must have noticed it.
The purpose of this trip is to rescue Concubine Yun, so it seems we have to speed up.
Just as Lu Yun was thinking, a strange force attacked him madly.
Lu Yun did not delay and released his soul, easily dissolving this inexplicable power.
Then, the door was pushed open and a silver bell-like laughter was heard:
"Yes, I didn't expect your soul to be so powerful!"
The person who came was none other than the King of Qingzhou, Ji Shuang, who had agreed to meet in the imperial capital.
But now Ji Shuang, wearing a blue gauze dress and with her long hair draped over her shoulders, looked less domineering but more like a lady from a noble family. When she appeared in front of Lu Yun, Lu Yun couldn't help but be stunned.
You are such a beautiful woman, why do you dress up as a man every day?
This looks so pleasing to the eyes.
"You come to see me late at night and you're dressed like this. Is that appropriate, Prince Ji Shuang?" Lu Yun said with a smile.
Ji Shuang put away his smile and answered, ignoring Lu Yun's teasing, "If I come to see you as the King of Qingzhou, I will inevitably attract attention. Who can recognize me after I change into this outfit? Also, don't call me Your Majesty now, just call me Ji Shuang."
"Ji Shuang? That sounds so ugly, how about I call you Shuang'er?"
Ji Shuang rolled her eyes at Lu Yun and said unhappily, "It's up to you. I came to see you because I have something important to tell you."
"Of course I know you must have something to talk to me about. Could it be that you came to me in the middle of the night because you want to drink and spend a good night with me?" Lu Yun joked.
"I really don't know how the Seventh Princess fell in love with a scoundrel like you." Ji Shuang put away her smile and glared at Lu Yun.
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business!"
"I came here this time to tell you that I have gathered troops and am waiting outside the city. When the Divine Fire Emperor Banquet is over, I will pick you and Concubine Yun up!"
Lu Yun laughed dryly, looked at the King of Qingzhou, and asked: "Are you just here to tell me the plan again?"
Ji Shuang shook her head. "That's not the case. I just came to remind you that you must hand Concubine Yun over to me. Then we will go back to Qingzhou Prefecture together."
This made Lu Yun a little confused. The original plan was almost like this, but why at this time, the King of Qingzhou said that Concubine Yun must be handed over to the King of Qingzhou?
Once it reaches Qingzhou Prefecture, won’t it also fall into her hands?
"Is there any danger on the way back to Qingzhou?"
Ji Shuang lowered her voice and glanced at Lu Yun, "You just need to listen to my orders."
Lu Yun didn't think much about it, but agreed, and asked another question: "I'm just worried, what if I can't get the first place on the Earth Ranking? Wouldn't our plan be ruined?"
"If you really can't get first place on the Earth Ranking, then you can only..."
"Rob!"
Lu Yun was shocked by Ji Shuang's words, "Robbery? Your Majesty, you are kidding me, right? This is the Divine Fire Emperor Banquet, and masters from the three empires are gathered here. If it were any other time, you could just rob, but now, aren't you courting death?"
"I will make my own arrangements when the time comes. Remember, you must send Concubine Yun to me!"
Looking at Ji Shuang's expression, Lu Yun sighed and said, "Okay, okay, I know that you two sisters have a deep bond. When the time comes, I will definitely deliver Concubine Yun to you, Your Majesty, safely."
Ji Shuang glanced around and said to Lu Yun, "Since there is nothing else to do, I will leave first. I will send someone to tell you where the cold palace is in the next few days. You can go and observe the terrain."
"If possible, you can sneak into the cold palace and see if you can bring Concubine Yun out. You have the ability to hide your aura, and only you can complete this task."
"I understand. Your Majesty, would you like to have a couple of drinks?"
When he looked up again, the King of Qingzhou was gone.
Lu Yun was a little confused. Ji Shuang emphasized again and again that she wanted to send Concubine Yun to her. What was her intention?
If the sisters really have a deep love for each other, it wouldn't be like this, right?
Or is it that Concubine Yun has some secret that both the King of Qingzhou and Queen Qin covet?
If it were a few days ago, Lu Yun would absolutely believe what the King of Qingzhou said.
But today, Lu Yun didn't take it seriously, and was even a little wary of King Qingzhou.
Because after passing through the Tianyi Divine Water Array, Lu Yun could always feel a familiar breath lingering around him.
But that person did not pose any threat to him.
So Lu Yun didn't care.
Just now, the moment the King of Qingzhou arrived, Lu Yun was already certain.
The person lingering around him is the King of Qingzhou!
It seems that this little girl is not that simple.
"Xu Que, I know you are in there, come out!"
While Lu Yun was still thinking, he heard a familiar voice outside the door.
Why do so many people come to visit in one night?
Why does this voice sound so familiar, but...
I can’t remember.
Lu Yun opened the door and saw the girl's face flushed, staring at him angrily.
"Why is it you! Aren't you the illusion in the spiritual realm?" Lu Yun was stunned. The person who came was actually Xiaoxue who appeared in the spiritual realm?
Xiaoxue said angrily, "There's no time to explain, just follow me first!"
"Where?"
"Go to the palace!"
