2043 Together
Almost all the famous Armory Refinement Masters in the God Residence Realm had already rushed over.
Today was the day that the Wei family agreed to enter the Messy Stone Forest together.
Early in the morning, everyone had already gathered here, waiting for the start.
“I heard that Shangguan Jing is here too?”
“That’s right—he’s the one standing in the corner over there!”
“This person is an outstanding supreme Armory Refinement Master! With him around, the competition this time will probably be very intense…”
“Isn’t this all within expectations? Apart from him, there are also many supreme Armory Refinement Masters who haven’t appeared for many years!”
“Then… doesn’t that mean that we have no hope at all?”
“Not necessarily! Until the last moment, no one knows who will have the last laugh, right? Besides, although these people are powerful, we’re going to open Tang Ke’s tomb this time. Who can compare to them? In that case, whether we win or lose, I think luck is more important!”
“That’s true…”
Everyone gathered in groups of three to five and discussed animatedly.
Although the Wei family didn’t explicitly disallow a large number of people to participate, most of them had an unspoken mutual understanding and only chose a few people to go with them.
Some came alone.
This kind of thing didn’t depend entirely on strength.
No matter how many people came, it was meaningless. It might be more convenient to travel light.
“Brother Shangguan, you’ve disappeared for so long. Now that you’re out, you’re still the center of attention!” The few people with him teased him.
“That’s right! Ever since we came here, those people haven’t stopped talking about you.”
“Haha! Brother Shangguan is still in high demand! If not for the competition this time, I’m afraid many people would’ve come forward to befriend you!”
Shangguan Jing snorted and said nonchalantly, “They aren’t paying attention to this old man but to the people behind this old man.”
He could see this very clearly.
Who in the entire God Residence Realm hadn’t heard of Peach Blossom Dock?
Shangguan Yue’s name had long spread, and she was famous! As Yue’er’s ancestor, he was naturally the center of attention.
He wasn’t the only supreme Armory Refinement Master here. It wasn’t like there were no other supreme Armory Refinement Masters whose ability could be compared to his.
It was obvious why everyone’s attention was only on him.
“Heh, that’s not a bad thing to say. You can be considered to have benefited from your Yue’er!”
“Of course!” Shangguan Jing didn’t hide the pride on his face. My Yue’er is naturally the best!
Suddenly, a gust of cold air came from behind!
He frowned slightly, but when he turned around, everything was normal.
The others were dazed. “Brother Shangguan, what are you looking at?”
“Nothing.” Shangguan Jing’s brows slowly relaxed, but his eyes were still cold. Just now, I clearly sensed a cold gaze staring at me from the dark!
At this moment, a few sounds of air being torn apart could be heard!
The many discussions stopped, and everyone looked up.
“Someone from the Wei family.”
Seeing the patterns on the left chest of their clothes, Shangguan Jing immediately recognized them.
Sure enough, those people passed through the stone forest and landed in front of everyone.
The person in front was a middle-aged man in a long robe, looking elegant. “I’m Wei Ze, the head of the Wei family. Greetings, everyone!”
Everyone also bowed politely.
Qinggu Slope was the Wei family’s territory after all, so they had to give them some face.
Wei Ze smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with everyone. Then, he cupped his hands at Shangguan Jing and asked in surprise, “Eh? Senior Shangguan, didn’t Shangguan Yue and Rong Xiu come with you?”
