Chapter 2044 - 2044 Bronze Door Knoll
2044 Bronze Door Knoll
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Everyone looked over.
Shangguan Yue’s name was really well-known now.
Everyone present knew what had happened at Peach Blossom Dock. Many of them were truly curious about this.
Shangguan Jing squinted his eyes slightly. Wei Ze seems to be a little strange. Why did he have to ask about Yue’er and Rong Xiu instead of so many others? Besides, there are already many people here, and most of them are top-notch Armory Refinement Masters. It doesn’t seem to affect them if the two of them don’t come, right?
Shangguan Jing’s mind raced, but he didn’t show it on his face. He only laughed. “Thank you for your concern, Family Head. It’s just that Peach Blossom Dock has been busy recently, and Yue’er has many things to deal with, so she can’t leave for a while. Rong Xiu always likes to accompany her, so…”
Everyone had mixed feelings when they heard that.
Busy recently…
Many things to deal with…
What else can it be? It is naturally because they have monopolized Peach Blossom Dock that they have these things to do!
Aren’t they clearly here to show off?! Are they afraid that others won’t know that they are already the new owner of Peach Blossom Dock!?
Every word was filled with undisguised pride! More importantly, not only did he say this, but he even helped the two of them show off their love?
Everyone in the God Residence Realm has heard of Rong Xiu’s infamous name. In Shangguan Jing’s words, he is a good man who stays at home and protects his wife… What the hell is this!?
Wei Ze choked and cursed in his heart. The older, the wiser. With just a few sentences, it made people lose all interest and made them speechless!
Since he has already said so, how can others accept it?
Wei Ze’s lips moved as he laughed. “Haha, I see! Senior Shangguan, don’t misunderstand. I’ve long heard of your name and want to meet these two…”
“Let’s not talk about Rong Xiu first. Yue’er is now Master Yue, so she has to interact with everyone in the future. If the family head wants to see her, there will naturally be plenty of opportunities.” Shangguan Jing interrupted him with a smile.
Wei Ze felt a lump in his chest.
This meant that Chu Liuyue would be on the same level as the family head in the future, and not just anyone could see her as they pleased.
“Hehe, Senior Shangguan is right.” Shangguan Jing’s seniority here was considered very high, so even Wei Ze had to be polite.
After exchanging blows and failing to ask what he wanted to ask, Wei Ze didn’t continue. He turned to look at everyone and changed the topic. “We’re all smart people, so let’s lay one’s cards on the table. Today, we’re all here for Senior Tang Ke’s tomb. Senior Tang Ke is a peerless top-notch Armory Refinement Master. Ever since he disappeared back then, there has been no news of him. Now, we’ve finally found his tomb! This is the Wei family’s blessing and also the luck of the current Armory Refinement Masters! Therefore, we’ve invited everyone here today to open Senior Tang Ke’s tomb together. If we can let his treasures and inheritance continue to be passed down in the world, it’ll also be a huge contribution!”
In his words, he welcomed everyone to join forces.
“Pfft, Shangguan, don’t believe him. He’s just saying it nicely!” an old man lowered his voice and said disdainfully. “I heard that after the Wei family discovered that Tang Ke’s tomb was hidden here, they were extremely excited. However, they tried all kinds of methods but couldn’t open it. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties. Coupled with the news being leaked, they started to seek help from everyone.”
Shangguan Jing’s lips twitched. “As expected.”
Everyone present was smart. No one took it to heart and were just listening.
To be fair, anyone who was involved in this would probably make the same choice. Who wouldn’t want to monopolize such a good thing?
The Wei family couldn’t take it anymore and couldn’t hide it anymore, so they settled for the next best thing. To be honest, there was nothing wrong with it.
As Shangguan Jing spoke, he stared at Wei Ze again. The gaze just now didn’t seem to have come from Wei Ze… However, Wei Ze was clearly targeting us. It’s really strange.
Wei Ze glanced at the sky and said, “…I won’t say anything unnecessary to save everyone’s time. To be honest, this Messy Stone Forest is very dangerous. Even the Wei family rarely enters it. After entering, please be careful.”
With that, he turned around and looked at the Messy Stone Forest.
Ever since they found out that Tang Ke’s tomb was here, the Wei family had sent many people. Some were dead and some were injured, but they didn’t find any useful information.
With so many people here this time, I wonder… if there will be any progress. Wei Ze gritted his teeth. “Everyone—please!”
With that, he took the lead and walked forward!
The few members of the Wei family followed him in.
The remaining people also took action one after another, their figures gradually disappearing into the rocky forest.
…
After entering the stone forest, everyone followed behind Wei Ze and the others.
The stones here were grayish-white in color. They were strange and majestic.
The 500 meters were silent except for the sound of everyone’s footsteps.
As Shangguan Jing and the others walked, they observed their surroundings carefully. Soon, someone realized that something was wrong.
“…Did you guys notice that these rocks seem to be moving?” someone said in surprise.
As soon as these words were spoken, many people immediately agreed. “You discovered it?”
“I thought I was the only one who thought so… but it turns out that everyone is the same?”
“The rocks outside are constantly changing, so much so that I can’t tell my location at all… This environment is like a maze. If I enter the depths and want to leave, it will be much more troublesome…”
Hearing these discussions, Wei Ze laughed and said, “Everyone, there’s no need to be nervous. This Messy Stone Forest has been like this since the day it appeared. It doesn’t matter if this is an illusion or a maze. In short, it will indeed cause a certain amount of trouble. However, everyone is powerful. If you want to leave, you can directly leave from above.”
With that, he raised his hand and pointed.
Above, there was a common flowing rainbow bridge.
They had just passed by from above.
When everyone heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Shangguan Jing frowned slightly and felt inexplicably uneasy. If we could really evacuate quickly, why would the Wei family have suffered heavy casualties previously? They must’ve suffered a loss, which was why they were willing to let others come.
But after about an hour, nothing has happened.
Shangguan Jing suppressed his worry and followed the crowd calmly.
Finally, Wei Ze stopped in front.
Shangguan Jing looked forward.
This was a rare empty place—there was only a huge rock placed in the middle.
The shape of the huge rock was irregular, and its entire body was red. The most eye-catching thing was that there was a bronze door knocker at the center!
