Song Qi did not know the specifics of what had happened in his previous life.
However, he was clear about one thing.
The person behind the Northern Nine Bandits was none other than the current Queen of Great Qi.
The people behind the Northern Nine Bandits were the people led by the Queen of Great Qi.
Now, since the Queen of Great Qi had given the order, the Northern Nine Bandits would not dare to disobey. No matter what, they had to capture Song Qi.
Before this, he was already prepared to meet the Northern Nine Bandits head-on and even fight them.
However, he had never thought that it would be so easy and that he would not encounter any obstacles.
It was as if the Queen of Great Qi did not have the time to care about these things.
But how was this possible?
Song Qi frowned, unable to figure it out.
"There seems to be many more people here."
At this moment, Chen Heng spoke.
While riding on the horse, he looked around and said.
He could feel that there were indeed a lot more people around him at this moment.
In the past, because this place was close to the Northern Plains, there were not many people here. Only some merchants would come here to try to trade with the people on the plains and buy goods.
However, no matter what, these people were in the minority.
On the whole, this area was still deserted, a desolate land.
However, Chen Heng felt that it was different now.
In the surroundings, densely packed figures clustered around and walked around, looking very lively.
Moreover, the people coming and going were quite special.
They often had bows and arrows or sabers and swords on their backs, and many of them looked quite valiant and were not easy to deal with.
There were also many people who looked like martial artists proficient in defensive techniques. Their defensive techniques were quite good and looked quite valiant.
These people were obviously not the local residents of this place, but outsiders.
He just didn't know what had happened in this place in a few short months to actually attract so many people to come here.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment."
Chen Heng looked at Song Qi and asked for his instructions before urging his horse forward and asking around.
After asking around, he obtained an answer.
Recently, there had been rumors that an ancestral remnant had been discovered in the Scarlet Mountains to the north of Beiyuan City, and it seemed to be a remnant left behind by the Ten Thousand Swords Villa.
In the beginning, this ruin was discovered by an ordinary farmer. In the end, he brought out a treasured sword made of Gold Essence.
The farmer didn't know how precious the sword was and only treated it as an ordinary item. He brought it to the market to sell, but it attracted a lot of attention.
Then, after a series of entanglements, the secret of this relic was revealed, shocking everyone.
"I see …"
When he told Song Qi the information he obtained, Song Qi had a look of realization as if he suddenly understood something.
"That was an oversight …"
He sighed, realizing his negligence.
In his previous life, he should have been captured by the Northern Nine Bandits by now and imprisoned in their own base camp.
As for what happened during this period of time, he only found out after he escaped.
If he remembered correctly, during this period of time, something had indeed happened in the area of Beiyuan City.
When a relic was discovered, people mistakenly thought that it was left behind by the Ten Thousand Swords Villa from a thousand years ago. Thus, it caused a commotion everywhere.
In the end, this ruin even caused an uproar, and many people were dragged into it.
Looking at the timing, it just happened to be right.
Now that he thought about it, this relic was most likely the one he was looking at.
"So they've been distracted by the relic, so they don't have the time to care about me?"
Realizing this, Song Qi could not help but sneer to himself.
Indeed, right now, in the eyes of the Northern Nine Bandits, he was just a small shrimp.
Even if it was the Queen of Great Qi who wanted to capture him for some unknown reason, she probably didn't think much of him.
Before, when there was nothing going on, they would naturally be focused on him.
However, now that the relic had appeared, their attention had naturally been diverted.
This time, it was most likely the Great Qi Queen who had personally given the order for the Northern Nine Bandits to focus on the relic and relax their pursuit of him.
The Ten Thousand Swords Villa was a holy land of martial arts from a thousand years ago, and it was one of the most powerful holy lands at that time. The Ten Thousand Swords Art that was passed down there was an even more shocking divine ability.
It was said that there were countless treasured swords within the Ten Thousand Swords Villa, each of which was priceless and possessed unique power.
Mortals wielding treasured swords were enough to defeat martial artists, which showed how amazing they were.
The relic left behind by such a holy land was indeed tempting.
Perhaps this time, it wasn't just the Nine Bandits of the Northern Region. Even the entire royal family of the Great Qi Kingdom was involved.
However, it was a pity …
Song Qi sneered.
It was a pity that the relic was not what the people of Great Qi thought it was. It was the relic of the Ten Thousand Swords Villa.
This relic was not the Ten Thousand Swords Villa, but the ancestral land of the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect.
On the surface, the Ten Thousand Swords Villa seemed like a holy land of martial arts, but in reality, all cultivators knew that it was a cultivator faction.
However, unlike most cultivator factions, the Ten Thousand Swords Villa had a great reputation, but on the surface, it was just an ordinary cultivator faction.
In reality, the founder of the Ten Thousand Swords Villa was a true disciple of the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect.
Because they came from the same source, in his previous life, many people had thought that this relic was the relic left behind by the Ten Thousand Wave Sword Sect.
After all, the two came from the same source and were very similar in many aspects. Even some of their skills were similar.
Later on, this matter became bigger and bigger, causing the situation to continuously escalate.
When the time came, many true cultivators would rush over, causing the situation to continuously change.
In his previous life, Great Qi's destruction was related to this.
Now, this matter had only just begun. Everyone thought that this was a relic left behind by the Ten Thousand Swords Villa.
An opportunity.
Song Qi thought to himself.
After a few months, he had recovered some of his strength, and with Chen Heng by his side, he might be able to obtain some benefits from the relic.
If the relic's true identity had been exposed and cultivators had come, he would not have dared to do this.
After all, at that time, all those who had come were true cultivators, and there were even more than one Enlightened Masters.
If he dared to do anything to the relic, he would be seeking death.
However, the news had not been leaked yet, and only a group of ordinary cultivators had come.
If he did not dare to do anything, it would be a waste of this opportunity.
Thinking to there, he turned and looked at Chen Heng.
He was thinking about how to convince Chen Heng to join as well.
Right now, his cultivation had not recovered, and even though he had some tricks up his sleeve, in terms of strength, he was far inferior to Chen Heng.
If he could bring Chen Heng along, he would have a much greater chance of success.
It was just that convincing Chen Heng would not be so easy.
At the very least, he needed a reasonable reason.
"Your Highness, do you want to go and investigate?"
What Song Qi did not expect was that before he could even speak, Chen Heng had spoken first.
Chen Heng asked as he looked at Song Qi.
"That's right."
Song Qi nodded and did not hide anything, "This relic is an opportunity."
"It is a good opportunity, but it is too dangerous."
Chen Heng frowned as he said, "Right now, the most important thing is to escort Your Highness back.
As long as Your Highness returns to the palace, we can use Great Qi's power to come and investigate this place. "
This was a prudent way of doing things, but it was not what Chen Heng truly thought.
In actuality, Chen Heng did not care much about Song Qi's choice.
He believed that as an old monster who had possessed a body, since he wanted to do this, he most likely had a reason for doing this.
Right now, he was just trying to see what reason Song Qi had.
Chen Heng understood.
Perhaps Song Qi really was an old monster who had possessed a body and been reborn, but he was still very weak.
As such, he needed a loyal guard like Chen Heng to protect him.
In other words, Song Qi most likely wanted to trick Chen Heng into going with him.
Chen Heng was not against going with him into the relic; after all, as long as there were benefits, it was fine.
However, he could not agree too readily.
On one hand, it did not fit his persona, and on the other hand, it was not easy to get information out of him.
Since Song Qi wanted Chen Heng to accompany him, if Chen Heng refused, in order to make Chen Heng follow, he had to give him a reason to convince him.
During this process, Chen Heng would naturally find out what he wanted to know.
