The demon world I designed

"Disappeared?"

Princess Beiyu left the palace and returned to Beiyu's home almost immediately, without even taking the time to ask His Majesty for instructions. Of course, this also included Queen Yun.

At Beiyu's house, Shen Qi was in a daze when he heard the information brought back by Princess Beiyu, as if he didn't react.

Because some people didn’t understand that statement.

A second ago, the concubine was about to step forward and pretend to take off the black light. It was a bold test. Of course, she didn't dare to actually touch it. She just wanted to see the reaction of the people inside. If she could attract the attention of the people inside, If something strange is revealed, the queen and others can mobilize their troops in an open and honest manner.

I have to say that at that time, the concubine was already willing to take risks and completely trusted the defensive array Chen Qing arranged for her.

But the result was unexpected by everyone.

There was indeed something wrong with Qi Long. He was so stimulated by the concubine's action of picking off the black lamp that his mood changed drastically, and he even rushed out directly, but...

"Disappeared right in front of you?" Chen Qing asked.

"Yes!" The concubine nodded tremblingly: "Right in front of us, there was no sound at all, just disappeared like that."

To be honest, she had never seen such a strange scene in her life. A living person disappeared out of thin air just like dust wiped off a mirror.

"This is..." Shen Qi frowned. He had never thought that it would be such a result. It must be extremely important for the black lamp to hang up. Qi Long's purpose was to use his identity to persuade the queen and the concubine to retreat. The concubine Xiang Pretending to steal the show is a good stimulation strategy, and the other party is indeed stimulated, but what kind of rules does it mean to disappear out of thin air?

You can't just use magic to transform a person into a living person on the spot to scare the concubine and the queen, right?

"Did you feel anything else at that time?" Chen Qing suddenly said.

"Other feelings?" The concubine was stunned: "What does senior mean?"

"Is there a feeling that there is something around you?"

The concubine suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Qing: "Senior, do you know what's going on?"

She did have that feeling. She didn't even dare to mention that feeling. When Qi Long disappeared, she could clearly feel that there was something next to her, although she couldn't see or hear it, and there wasn't even a smell. She couldn't smell it, but she could feel that something was there, something very... very scary!

"Your Majesty, do you know what it is?" Shen Qi looked at Chen Qing.

"I can probably guess a little bit, but I still have to be sure. If it's that thing, it's really a bit tricky this time."

"What could it be?" Shen Qi was a little curious.

"Can't say" Chen Qing shook his head.

Shen Qi was stunned. It wasn't that he didn't know, but that he couldn't tell?

"Is it a coincidence that Queen Yun went there today?" Chen Qing looked at the concubine and asked.

"Well, I didn't have time to ask, but it couldn't have been a coincidence." The concubine shook her head: "I feel like she wanted to help me meet the Queen Mother, and she was obviously looking for something."

"Where's Queen Yun, has she left the palace?"

The concubine was stunned: "Senior, how did you know that the queen would leave the palace?"

"Take me to see Mrs. Yun," Chen Qing said without hesitation.

"ah?"

——

"It turns out that His Highness the King of Qin is here to meet you, and I am waiting from afar!"

Mrs. Yun was very polite when meeting Chen Qing. She was also extremely surprised that such a big shot suddenly arrived.

The King of Qin, who rose to prominence five years ago, forced the Jin Dynasty to recognize the status of a king with a different surname. This was the first time since the founding of the dynasty. The name of Jiangnan College had long been spread throughout the world, and now even His Majesty has declared his attachment to Jiangnan. This man can actually be regarded as the lord of Beiyan.

"There's no need to be polite, old lady."

I didn't contact the Yun family or the Murong family immediately because I didn't know the information and I was afraid of alerting others. After all, there are so many sects lurking, and many guild players may have already won over these families. Even the Murong family may not necessarily be of the same mind as myself. , there is no benefit in exposing your identity rashly.

But after roughly confirming that it was that thing, Chen Qing was no longer so careful, because if it was that thing, all the players in any guild would have been hiding now!

"I wonder why my lord came all the way here?" Mrs. Yun looked at Chen Qing warily.

His Majesty's decision to declare attachment to Jiangnan came too suddenly. It must be some trick of the Jiangnan people. The person in front of her came here in person. I'm afraid the purpose is not simple. In these troubled times, the master is in retreat again. To be honest, she doesn't want to be with the person in front of her. What's the connection?

"The situation is urgent. Madam, please answer me a few questions."

The old lady frowned. The other party's words were a bit too domineering, but she did not refute, after all, the other party's identity was there.

"Please give me some advice, King Qin."

"Bei Yujing is a student from Jiangnan College. Some time ago, she and a group of classmates returned to Beihuang to visit relatives. Where is she now?"

The old lady's heart skipped a beat: "Didn't she say that she would go back to Jiangnan to continue her studies?"

Chen Qing looked at the other person, and his expression probably didn't look like he was pretending.

He went back. How could Beiyu go back at this time?

"When did you go back?"

"Just after His Majesty announced his attachment to Jiangnan, Ri Jing'er came back from the palace that day and left in a hurry, saying that a tutor from some college came to her for some big project and asked her to go back early. I was reluctant to let her go. After all, the child was always in a hurry when he came back. I don’t know what I’m doing, and I haven’t had a chance to talk about it, but thinking about Jing’er’s future in Jiangnan, I can’t stop him.”

"Did the old lady see her leaving the city with her own eyes?"

"That's not true." The other party was stunned: "At that time, the master just came back and was in a hurry to retreat. I was also busy preparing for him."

"Retreat." Chen Qing murmured, then raised his head and said, "Can you let me see Mr. Beiyu?"

"Ah?" The other party was stunned: "No. Sir, he is still in seclusion."

"If the old lady believes me, just go and say hello. If there is a response from inside, I won't bother you, how about that?"

"Sir, what do you mean by this?" The old lady's heart skipped a beat.

"Literal meaning." Chen Qing did not hide it: "I suspect that Bei Yujing did not go back, and I also suspect that Mr. Bei Yu did not retreat."

"Your Excellency, you don't trust the old woman?"

"No" Chen Qing shook his head: "I mean, they hid it from you, Madam."

——

The answer was soon revealed. Although the old lady Beiyu never believed that her master would hide even her own secrets, the fact was that several people came to the retreat and tried to summon them, but there was no response at all.

I made up my mind to break through the barrier of seclusion. After entering, the strange scene made the old lady almost faint.

The stench in the retreat room was overwhelming, and human corpses were everywhere. The meals that had been brought in were all knocked to the ground, and there was not a single living person inside.

"Master!!" The old lady suddenly screamed, and the surrounding guards guarded the old lady vigilantly.

Chen Qing looked at the secret room in seclusion. The runes around it had obvious traces of the magic circle. The magic circle looked very familiar.

"My Lord, it's the Tianyang Formation!"

Shen Qi recognized it at a glance. Shen Qi has studied the art of formation the most in recent years. As an old warlock who has lived for two hundred years, his learning ability is much better than that of ordinary students. He has many magic formations. All are proficient.

"The Tianyang Formation is used to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil spirits. It is used to defend against evil spirits, that kid from Bei Yujing." Shen Qi frowned. This formation was originally used in the Battle of Yin Division. It was developed by Jiangnan College to defend against invading evil spirits. .

"This magic circle can't stop that thing," Chen Qing said quietly: "Now I can confirm that Qi Long's disappearance was not a magic spell, it was just that he was eaten!"

"Did you eat it?" Shen Qi swallowed and looked at Chen Qing.
