Myriad Realms Summoning System
Chapter Summary
Shen Lang slowly walked out from behind the curtains, looked at Long Xue's back as she sat in front of the mirror, and said, "The Ninth Princess's palace is quite quiet, with no one to serve her." Long Xue didn't turn around, still looking at herself in the mirror, and said lightly: "I don't like people staying around me all the time. What business does a dignified Martial Master have with Long Xue?" Shen Lang looked at Long Xue, smiled and said, "In the name of my young master, I have a message...
In the Canglong City Palace, Shen Lang quietly walked around the patrolling palace guards and found the Longxue Palace located in the deepest part of the palace.
The Iron Blood Dynasty's palace was no smaller than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it covered an astonishingly large area. There were probably no less than a thousand palaces alone, but Shen Lang's spiritual sense could easily cover the entire palace and find Long Xue.
"Now that you're here, don't hide!"
As soon as Shen Lang entered Long Xue's palace, Long Xue's voice came over, which startled him.
Unexpectedly, he easily avoided the search of so many guards, but was finally discovered by a little girl.
But he didn't care. He knew that Long Xue was Xiao Chen's friend. As long as he revealed his identity, Long Xue would naturally hide it for him.
Besides, even if he was discovered, he wouldn't worry about anything. No one in this palace could be his opponent. He just didn't want to cause too much trouble.
Long Xue's palace was not large, and the main hall was empty. Shen Lang slowly walked out from behind the curtains, looked at Long Xue's back as she sat in front of the mirror, and said, "The Ninth Princess's palace is quite quiet, with no one to serve her."
Long Xue didn't turn around, still looking at herself in the mirror, and said lightly: "I don't like people staying around me all the time. Besides, those guards are not as strong as me. If someone really can break in here, what difference does it make whether these guards are there or not?"
Shen Lang looked at Long Xue in surprise. Although what she said was true, people are animals that lack a sense of security. Sometimes, even though they know that guards are useless, they will still keep some around. Long Xue is unique.
Seeing that Shen Lang didn't say anything, Long Xue glanced at Shen Lang in her mirror and said, "Anyone who can come here without making a sound must be an ordinary person. Who are you?"
Shen Lang glanced around the hall, then found a chair and sat down. "My name is Shen Lang. I'm here to seek the advice of the Ninth Princess, entrusted by my son. I wonder how the Princess discovered me."
Long Xue turned to look at Shen Lang and said calmly, "You are indeed very powerful. You even managed to hide it from the Martial Master in the nearby palace. But this palace is mine. No one who enters this palace can hide it from my eyes. Now it's your turn to answer my question. What business does a dignified Martial Master have with Long Xue?"
Shen Lang looked at Long Xue, smiled and said, "In the name of my young master, I have a message for the Ninth Princess."
"What?"
The smile on Shen Lang's lips grew more intense, and under Long Xue's close gaze, he said, "My young master said he missed you."
Long Xue's delicate body trembled violently, and then she stood there in disbelief and said, "Are you his?"
Shen Lang also stood up and bowed, then smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire, Shen Lang."
Long Xue asked curiously, "Are you Shen Lang, the one who has recently gained fame and is known as the number one hero?"
Shen Lang said: "Yes, it is me."
Hearing that Shen Lang was Xiao Chen's subordinate, Long Xue felt relieved and unconsciously regarded him as one of her own.
"Mr. Shen Lang, I don't know... what that guy wants you to come to me for? I hope he doesn't just want you to bring a message!" Long Xue said coquettishly.
Shen Lang was stunned. He could see that Long Xue should be a cold-hearted person. Such people usually wouldn't show such an expression unless she regarded herself as one of her own. It seemed that she had a close relationship with His Majesty.
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Ninth Princess, His Majesty asked me to inquire from you about the reason why the Dynasty Martial Arts Competition started early. In addition... In addition, he asked me to stay and protect me until he arrives in Canglong City."
Hearing that Xiao Chen sent Shen Lang to protect him, Long Xue felt sweet in his heart. At least this guy still had a conscience and didn't forget about him. He even knew to send a master to protect him.
She was very clear about Shen Lang's strength, and perhaps it had spread throughout the entire dynasty. It was said that he was at least a six-star Martial Master, while the current top master of the Long family was only a five-star Martial Master, and there was only one of them.
Long Xue did not like to get involved in the royal struggle, so she did not recruit any masters as retainers. Although the royal ancestors were her amulets, they were of noble status after all and could not take care of her all the time. If something really happened and the royal ancestors could not take action in time, she could only rely on herself, which was somewhat risky. It would be a different matter if she had Shen Lang's protection.
From now on, she is the most powerful among all the princes and princesses of the royal family. No one else but Xiao Chen would send a nine-star martial master to protect her.
Long Xue said, "Tell Xiao Chen that the people from Qiankun Pavilion secretly opened the royal mausoleum, causing the Dynasty Martial Arts Competition to start early. Be careful of this group of forces."
Shen Lang's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked, "How did you know that it was someone from Qiankun Pavilion who opened the mausoleum?"
Qiankun Pavilion is extremely mysterious on the mainland, and few people know about them. Even Shen Lang learned about their existence from Mu Yu, Chen Jue and Xiao Chen. However, the Long family was able to find out that it was someone from Qiankun Pavilion who opened the royal cemetery. It seems that this precarious Long family is not as simple as it seems.
As expected, Long Xue said, "The ancestor of the Long family, Emperor Canglong, had a close relationship with Emperor Qiankun, the founder of Qiankun Pavilion. Therefore, the elders of the Long family have always known about the existence of Qiankun Pavilion. The unique methods of Qiankun Pavilion are also well known to the ancestors of the Long family. When that person secretly opened the imperial tomb, he used the methods of Qiankun Pavilion."
Apart from several ancestors of the Long family, only Long Xue knew about this matter. When the third prince came to ask her, Long Xue was reserved and did not tell him everything. The reason why she told Shen Lang everything was because of her relationship with Xiao Chen, and also because she knew that Xiao Chen was the child of destiny that Qiankun Pavilion had been looking for.
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Young Master is in Qiankun Pavilion now. It seems that Qiankun Pavilion is deliberately trying to use you. I need to give you a warning."
…
Lingyun City, Shangguan Family.
In Shangguan Wuqing's room, he was warmly receiving several warriors in gorgeous clothes. There were about a dozen of them, all wearing the uniforms of Lingyun Trading Company's senior executives, which were even more gorgeous than Shangguan Wuqing's clothes. It was obvious that they were all sent by Lingyun Trading Company's headquarters. No wonder Shangguan Wuqing was so enthusiastic.
Shangguan Wuqing said enthusiastically, "Elder Feng, Elder Yue, I never thought that it would be you two who came to the Iron Blood Dynasty this time. I'm really surprised!"
Elder Feng, the leader of the group sent by Lingyun Trading Company headquarters to the Iron Blood Dynasty, has a high level of cultivation and holds a very high status in Lingyun Trading Company headquarters.
He looked at Shangguan Wuqing and said with a faint smile: "Master Shangguan, how are you? It's been many years since we last met, and you're still as charming as ever!"
Shangguan Wuqing shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Elder Feng! I've had a hard time lately, otherwise I wouldn't have sent anyone to the headquarters for help. You can see that I'm no longer in charge of the Shangguan family."
Elder Feng smiled faintly and said, "Master Shangguan, don't worry. Now that I'm here, I will naturally help you solve these difficulties. Come on, take me to see the little girl you mentioned. What's so special about her?"
