Gu Yue and the three of them hurried overnight and soon came to the palace of the ancient country, this time they entered the city not as sneaky and chased as they were at the beginning, Gu Yue took the king's token and entered the royal city directly from the south gate, and someone led the three of them to the door of the palace along the way.

Someone had already gotten the news waiting for Gu Yue and the three of them here, and at the gate of the palace, some mages lined up to greet Gu Yue and the others, and when they came to the door, they found that it was none other than Zhang Qiang's apprentice Qian Fangfang.

"Apprentice Qian Fangfang greets the master, the master. Qian Fangfang respectfully saluted Zhang Qiang and Xu Qian, and also nodded to Gu Yue on the side.

This time there was only Qian Fangfang who greeted her, and the others may have felt embarrassed to show up after fighting with Gu Yue and Zhang Qiang, but Gu Yue didn't care about this, as long as she could go back, this world had nothing to do with herself.

At this time, Zhang Qiang recovered a little mana and could barely move, Xu Qian accompanied him and Qian Fangfang while chatting and walking towards the palace.

"By the way, master, I heard that His Majesty the King led a large army to exterminate the Chu State, you didn't have a conflict with the king, did you?" Qian Fangfang asked Zhang Qiang with some concern.

Zhang Qiang is usually kind, and he didn't lie in front of his apprentices, so he was a little stunned for a while. Xu Qian, who was on the side, hurriedly said at this time: "Of course not, otherwise how could the king give us the token." ”

Qian Fangfang didn't think much about it, she still trusted her master very much, turned to Gu Yue and asked, "Are you just leaving?

Gu Yue nodded slightly, and said with some uncertainty: "After my observation, I found that Xu Qian has actually reached the standard of the trial ground, and it stands to reason that there should have been a thunderstorm to bring her over, but I don't know why there has been no movement for a long time, and now I have no problem with taking her to teleport over." ”

Gu Yue's words caused the surprise of the three people next to them, Zhang Qiang and Xu Qian were thoughtful, Qian Fangfang also seemed to remember something, and said in surprise: "I also remembered when you said this, it seems that many people have broken through the bottleneck to reach the realm of Zhigao recently, but I don't know why they are stuck here, and they can't attract the thunder tribulation to ascend to the upper realm." ”

"Is there any conspiracy in this?" Everything she had just experienced made Xu Qian's heart palpitate, and the first thing that came to mind was that this was still Gu Sijie's conspiracy.

But Zhang Qiang shook his head, he looked at a few people and said, "Don't you still understand? This must be something going on above, and all the weirdness we have experienced must also be related to the City Lord of the Holy City." ”

Gu Yue also nodded, agreeing with Zhang Qiang's statement, "Zhang Qiang is right, whether it is Gu Sijie's conspiracy or the appearance of the moon in the water, it reveals a trace of weirdness, I felt that there was a problem with Gu Sijie's ability to send that kind of attack before, but now it seems that they are just small minions, and it is Dashi who really controls all this." ”

At this time, Qian Fangfang suddenly approached the ears of several people, lowered her voice and said to a few people: "Although I don't know why, I know one thing, that is, the king is going to do something earth-shattering. ”

Looking at the curious eyes of Gu Yue and the others, Qian Fangfang said proudly: "That day, I accidentally passed by the king's secret room and heard the conversation between the Holy Envoy of the Upper Realm and the king. ”

Hearing Qian Fangfang's words, Gu Yue frowned, and asked in a low voice, "What are they talking about?"

"I heard the Holy Envoy say to the king that the city lord of the Upper Realm has issued an order to send the holy envoy to help the king unify this continent, and when the time comes, the king will gather all the people above the archmage on this continent together, and then the city lord will send someone to open a passage to bring everyone over, and then all of us will ascend to the upper realm together. ”

After Qian Fangfang said this, everyone was stunned, no one expected that Dashi was planning such a major thing, and bringing everyone up at one time, this is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, what do they want so many people to do?

Gu Yue and the three of them couldn't understand the reason, so they could only go back for the time being, and the few people were no longer in the mood to chat, and quickly walked to the room of the teleportation array.

This place has been guarded again, the previous two were killed by Gu Yue and Zhang Qiang, and all this became unimportant as if it had never happened, and peace was restored in the palace again.

The three of them came to the room of the teleportation array, this time no one followed them, this teleportation array is a one-way operation, the people here can't go to the trial ground through the teleportation array, they can only get the help of the person on the other side, but Gu Yue has already arranged it, Xiao Ai has been guarding there without closing the teleportation, and after the three of them entered, they were directly wrapped in the light of the formation and teleported back.

The speed of time in the Proving Ground was different from that of other worlds, and although Gu Yue had experienced many days in the Mage World, it was actually only a moment here.

In the Holy City Teleportation Array room in the trial ground, Xiao Ai and the Holy City Lord Dashi stood face to face, Dashi kept telling Xiao Ai something, at this time the conversation between the two seemed to be over, Xiao Ai was watching the two figures leave this room, and after the door was silently closed, Xiao Ai's face was lonely, and her mood suddenly became depressed.

At this time, the light of the teleportation array lit up, and the figures of Gu Yue and the three appeared in front of Xiao Ai.

"Xiao Ai, are you okay?" As soon as Gu Yue appeared, she found Xiao Ai's, she was in a very bad mood at this time, with obvious sadness on her face, and she looked preoccupied, so Gu Yue hurriedly stepped forward to ask Xiao Ai's situation.

Seeing that Gu Yue and the three of them were back, Xiao Ai shook her head and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Gu Yue: "I'm fine, since it's okay, let's go back." ”

Gu Yue could see that Xiao Ai must have something on her mind, but seeing that she was not injured, she didn't want to mention it, so she didn't ask, and hurriedly introduced Xu Qian and Xiao Ai to each other, and a few people left here to return to Gu Yue's Hanging City.

When everyone returned to Hanging City, Xiao Ai did not meet everyone, but excused herself that she was tired and went back to her room alone.

In the meeting hall of the Hanging City, everyone gathered again, but Xu Qian was sitting in Xiao Ai's position before, and after everyone introduced each other, Gu Yue looked at Ding Jie and asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Ding Jie, what is the matter with Xiao Ai? She seems to have been sullen since I went to the Holy City this time, but she always avoided me when I asked her, I was worried that something would happen to her if this continued, can you tell us about Xiao Ai? Since everyone is friends, of course we should take care of everything together. ”

Ding Jie turned his head to look at everyone around him, and saw that everyone was worried and expectant, and his heart was a little sour, so he couldn't help but sigh and start to tell.
