Chapter 1457 Excuse me
Chapter 1457 Excuse me
“My friend is the Eastern Emperor. If we show this to him, he should be able to tell us the answer,” Chen Xuan said.
"The Eastern Emperor? Is that the Eastern Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Eastern Wilderness?" Ma Sanshui exclaimed in surprise.
He was just wondering who this friend of Chen Kunkun could be.
To my utter surprise, her first words startled him!
"In the entire Nine Heavens, besides him, who else is the Eastern Emperor?"
Chen Xuan laughed.
Ma Sanshui: "..."
He realized that he had just said something completely pointless.
Besides the Eastern Emperor, the ruler of the Eastern Wilderness, could there be a second Eastern Emperor?
"Your friend is actually the Eastern Emperor, this..."
He wanted to say how could this be, but he stopped himself from saying it.
"Should I take this thing to see him now?"
Chen Xuan pointed to the small black bumps.
This thing is very light and has a burnt smell. No wonder Chen Xuan said it tasted like a burnt peanut, because it really did.
"No, I do not know the Eastern Emperor."
Ma Sanshui refused without even thinking.
He was very worried that he might meet the Eastern Emperor and that the other party would recognize what kind of treasure it was.
So, can this treasure return to his hands?
Impossible!
With just a word from the Eastern Emperor, he could forcibly seize this treasure.
Where will he go to seek justice then?
"Fellow Daoist Kun Kun, please return my belongings."
Ma Sanshui reached out to ask for it. Although he didn't know what it was, it was, after all, a treasure from the box left behind by Lei Zun.
He plans to slowly peruse ancient books in the future, and one day he will be able to figure out the origin of this thing.
"Fine, if you're not willing, there's no way to force you to do this."
Chen Xuan nodded, not showing any interest in the item, and simply returned it.
Ma Sanshui put it back into the silver box and put the lid back on.
"Ok?"
The moment the lid was closed, the box became completely airtight.
Ma Sanshui tried to open it.
To my surprise, I couldn't open it again.
"Fellow Daoist Kun Kun, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again..."
Ma Sanshui suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He originally thought that once the box was opened, it would be easy to open again.
To everyone's surprise, once the lid was closed and reopened, the lightning law needed to be re-injected.
“Fellow Daoist Ma, I don’t think it’s necessary to open it now. After all, you’ve already seen what’s inside. You can come back to me to open it after you figure out what that black lump is.”
"Don't worry, I won't charge you any fees."
Chen Xuan laughed.
Although he was smiling, he was actually on guard against Ma Sanshui.
What if this guy suddenly launches a sneak attack?
After all, he and Ma Sanshui had only known each other for less than half an hour.
Who knows if this guy has ulterior motives?
"Ancestor, Elder Ma Changlong requests an audience."
Just then, a maid entered and said respectfully.
Although she is called a maid, she is actually a woman who is a horse in human form.
"Changlong wants to see me? Didn't I just send him out? Why is he calling me now?"
Ma Sanshui's face showed displeasure, feeling that Ma Changlong had no sense of propriety.
“Ancestor, Elder Ma Changlong has brought a friend with him. I think this friend has an extraordinary bearing, and I believe Elder Changlong wants to bring this friend to see you.”
The maid explained.
"Oh, really?"
Ma Sanshui raised his eyebrows slightly and thought about it carefully. Ma Changlong was not the kind of person who liked to act recklessly. He was always prudent and steady and would not easily bring people to see him.
Now that you've brought someone along, it must be something important.
"Fellow Daoist Kun Kun, I'm afraid I'll have to excuse myself for a moment."
Ma Sanshui cupped his hands and said.
"It's alright, Fellow Daoist Ma, you can go ahead and take care of your business. I won't be leaving for the time being."
Chen Xuan smiled, his meaning clear: I'll wait for you to come back.
Side hall.
"Ancestor!"
Ma Changlong was serving tea to a young man dressed in a blue long gown.
This man looked elegant and refined, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist and a peach blossom fan in his hand. He was also handsome and dashing, the kind of man who could easily seduce the most beautiful courtesan if he went to a brothel.
Upon seeing Ma Sanshui enter, Ma Changlong immediately bowed respectfully.
"Um, Changlong, and who is this?"
Ma Sanshui looked at the man in blue and showed a look of surprise.
"Reporting to the elder, this person is Young Master Wu, whose real name is Wu Lan. He is a good friend of mine from my early years, and he is now a powerful expert at the Great God Emperor level."
"I was passing through the City of Ten Thousand Demons today when I suddenly thought of you, so I came to see you."
“He has always held you, the Ancestor, in high esteem and wished to meet you, so I brought him here. Please do not take offense, Ancestor.”
Ma Changlong spoke respectfully, showing great humility in front of Ma Sanshui, the second-in-command of the Ma clan.
"Wu Lan? The Great God Emperor?"
Ma Sanshui was somewhat surprised.
It should be noted that, looking at the entire Southern Barbarian lands, the number of Great God Emperor level experts is extremely limited.
Unexpectedly, Wu Lan is also a Great God Emperor.
He certainly wouldn't be negligent and immediately said some polite words.
The two sides exchanged a few meaningless pleasantries.
Then, Wu Lan looked at Ma Sanshui and said with a smile:
"When I met Brother Ma Changlong just now, he told me about some of the things that happened today. I heard that a human expert who knows the laws of truth, lightning, judgment, and spacetime has come to the City of Ten Thousand Demons today?"
"Where is this human expert now?"
Ma Sanshui smiled and said, "There is indeed such a person. His name is Chen Kunkun. I suppose Changlong has already told you about this. Fellow Daoist Wu is interested in him, is that right? I can introduce you to him."
Wu Lan stood up, bowed, and said with a smile, "I enjoy traveling the world and making friends all over the world. If I have the opportunity to get to know both Fellow Daoist Ma and Fellow Daoist Chen at the same time, I would be extremely grateful."
"Haha, making friends is a good thing. Why say thank you? We're all friends."
Ma Sanshui laughed heartily, stood up, gestured for him to stand, and said with a smile,
"Fellow Daoist Wu, please follow me."
main hall.
Chen Xuan was pacing around aimlessly with his hands behind his back.
He was actually wondering what exactly the thing that came out of the silver box was.
After all, it's a treasure left behind by the Thunder Lord from the mythical era; it's impossible that he left behind a piece of junk, right?
It's a pity the item isn't in his possession; otherwise, he would have gone to see the Eastern Emperor no matter what, so that he could see if this thing was truly a treasure.
Just then, Chen Xuan's ears twitched slightly.
He heard footsteps, three in total.
Turning around, I saw three figures walking in.
