After a long while, Chi Xiao recovered from the deep shock and excitement. Dong Laohu, the old master of Black Buddha, asked first, "How did you know?"
He knew that Elder Mei was proficient in the unorthodox ways, so he asked, "Did you divine it?"
"Someone did divine the return of the King, but that person was not me. As for who it was, you don't have to ask. In short, compared to divination, I'm not even one ten-thousandth of that person. If he divined that the King would return, he would definitely return!"
"This …"
Black Buddha, Black Water, and the rest of the people from Crimson Firmament found it hard to believe. They had all seen Old Mei's divination skill before. It was extremely godly and accurate. If even Old Mei's divination skill was less than one-ten-thousandth of Old Mei's, then who was this mysterious person he was talking about?
They did not know.
They could not figure it out either. At the same time, they did not ask further.
Because they all believed Elder Mei's words.
"Elder Mei, how come I've never heard you mention this before?"
The person who spoke was Master Black Water. Since ancient times, he had been guarding the Great Northwest. Elder Mei had also lived in seclusion in the Great Northwest. The two of them were very familiar with each other. However, as he said, he had never heard Elder Mei mention this before.
"All these years, you've only been looking for that liar who pretended to be the descendant of the King. How could I tell you? Moreover, if I told you that the King would return, with your temperament, wouldn't you look for him all over the world? "
"But you can't hide it from me!"
Black Water was a hot-tempered and impatient person. However, in front of Old Mei, he could neither get angry nor impatient. At most, he only dared to say a few words. While he was talking, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Wait, you mean the person who claimed to be the King of Yan Luo recently? Could it be that he is …"
After Master Black Water came to Yanluo Kingdom a few days ago, he had heard that a new King had appeared in Yanluo Kingdom recently. He also knew that the new King was the Childe Chiyan Gu Qingfeng, who claimed to have fused with a wisp of the King's remnant consciousness in the Great Northwest nine years ago. For this reason, he specially went to Yunxia School. Unfortunately, Yunxia School was no longer there, and Old Master Huo De had already left for travel.
As for whether Gu Qingfeng had really fused with a wisp of the King's remnant consciousness or something else, Black Water did not dare to make a judgment.
"I haven't seen that Childe Chiyan yet, so I can't say for sure whether he is real or not. But …" Elder Mei muttered, "As long as I can see him, I may not be 100% sure if he is real, but if he is fake, I will be able to tell!"
What did he mean by saying that he would be able to tell if he was fake?
If he was real, he would not be sure.
Since he could tell if he was fake, why couldn't he be sure if he was real?
If he was not real, then he was fake. If he was not fake, then he was real. Was there any other possibility?
It couldn't be half real and half fake, could it?
Regarding this, Elder Mei appeared to be rather helpless. He explained, "If it were someone else, perhaps it would be either real or fake. But the existence of the King … is really too mysterious and too unbelievable. We can't use all the common sense we know to determine if he is real or fake."
At this moment, Lord Black Buddha stepped forward and patted his chest. He seemed to be very confident as he said, "No problem. Leave this to me. If that Childe Chiyan Gu Qingfeng is really the King, I have a way to determine."
"I say, Dong Laohu, what nonsense are you talking about? Even Elder Mei can't determine if he is real or fake. What makes you think you can?" Black Water mocked Dong Laohu. "Because you are fatter than him? Because you eat a lot? Or because you are rich? "
"F * ck off!"
Black Buddha unceremoniously rolled his eyes at Black Water. Then, he said mysteriously, "I may not be able to determine if he is real or fake, but there is one person who definitely can."
"Who?"
Dong Laohu chuckled. An unfathomable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, "I can't say the words of Buddha, I can't say it …"
"What time is it now? Why are you still keeping us in suspense?"
"I have to sell it. I promised him that I won't say it. Otherwise, I will lose my life."
"Alright, alright. It's getting late. Let's hurry up and go up the mountain."
So.
Black Water, Black Buddha, Elder Mei, Elder Huang Yuan, Yu Heng, Feng Xu, and more than three hundred Chi Xiao people walked toward the Imperial Mausoleum on Panlong Mountain.
At the same time.
Yanluo Imperial Mausoleum.
Tai Chi, Southern Dipper, and other leaders of the four major families and seven major sects were worshipping the ancestors of their respective sects.
After all, this was the Yanluo Imperial Mausoleum. Other than the ancestors of the four major families and seven major sects, as well as the tombstones of King Chixiao, there were more tombstones of Yanluo royalty's ancestors.
Yanluo royalty's ancestral worship ceremony was more grand and more particular. Therefore, the people of Yanluo royalty had already entered the Imperial Mausoleum before dawn.
Yanluo royalty had been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
They had countless descendants.
In the early years, there were still a few dragons and phoenixes among the descendants of the royal family. However, in recent generations, for some reason, there were no dragons and phoenixes with great influence. Not to mention dragons and phoenixes among the people, there were very few Creation Realm prodigies. It could be said that each generation was worse than the last.
Of course.
This did not mean that Yanluo royalty did not have any experts.
On the contrary.
Yanluo royalty's experts today were not only more than the four major families and seven major sects, but also more than the hundred or so Itinerant Immortals and the eight hundred Dixian under Zhou Taihe's command.
No matter what, they were still the rulers of the Yanluo Kingdom. Whether it was resources or other things, they were far from what the four major families and seven major sects could compare to. Many large and small families in the Yanluo Kingdom had always been loyal to Yanluo royalty. Their power and influence may not be comparable to the four major families and seven major sects, but they were definitely not to be underestimated.
Whether it was the ministers of the court or the generals.
There was no lack of Itinerant Immortal experts.
Not to mention.
Yanluo Kingdom also had a cabinet. In the cabinet, there were also the ancestors of the royal family. In addition to the cabinet, there was also an inner hall. The inner hall was where the various Itinerant Immortals were worshipped by the royal family. There were as many as four to five hundred of them. It was really shocking. Why did Yanluo royalty worship so many Itinerant Immortals? Wasn't it so that when Yanluo was in trouble one day, these Itinerant Immortals would come forward to protect Yanluo?
With four to five hundred Itinerant Immortals protecting Yanluo, as the Emperor of Yanluo, Tang Yunqi should have nothing to fear.
Not to mention other things, there was absolutely no problem in suppressing the four major families and seven major sects.
However, they could only suppress the four major families and seven major sects.
In the face of Sengoku, the ruler of this world, these four to five hundred Itinerant Immortals who were worshipped all year round were completely useless. For the time being, not to mention whether they were a match for Sengoku's people, they did not even have the courage to be enemies with Sengoku.
Now that Sengoku wanted to deal with Yanluo royalty, although these four to five hundred Itinerant Immortals had agreed to come forward to support the royal family, it was only to support the royal family. If Sengoku really made a move against Yanluo royalty, they would definitely not dare to protect Yanluo.
