Chapter 392: A Group of 25-Year-Olds (Asking for Monthly Passes)
"It's the little fellow from Empress of the East's side."
The older disciple seemed indifferent on the surface but was somewhat surprised at heart, because according to the message Ying Muyao sent to Bailuo, it seemed that she treated Zu Taichu as a close confidant.
But what was this now, another double-crosser?
"Show some respect in your tone, Zu Taichu."
Dumu'an was very dissatisfied with Zu Taichu's attitude. As the weakest among the Seven Crown Emperors, he dared to be so presumptuous in front of his queen. Could it be that he thought Dumu'an was already dead?
"I just have a question I want to ask," Zu Taichu, without regard for anyone else's attitude, walked straight forward, "Wasn't it agreed upon that as long as I joined, I would get to meet the Great Philosopher and then receive answers from him?"
If the real Isefia were here, she would definitely have the ability to answer Zu Taichu's so-called question.
Unfortunately, the older disciple was an impostor; she was just an actor, not the real Isefia.
"Hmm?"
However, at that moment, Zu Taichu stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Murderous intent, and more than one strand.
At least four of the Seven Crown Emperors deployed the extremely terrifying Miracle Power, targeting him.
Zu Taichu had no doubts that if he took one more step forward, this place would become his burial ground.
"You have gone too far, Zu Taichu."
Taking off the hood from his head, the identity of this person greatly surprised the older disciple: 'Supreme Emperor of the North!'
Before informing Ygsella, the Supreme Emperor of the North had already contacted the trading guild and had become a member of this organization.
Not only that, the Seven Crown Emperors were equivalent to the guild's council of elders, and it was clear that the Supreme Emperor of the North held a significant position within the trading guild.
"Not you, Supreme Emperor of the North."
Zu Taichu did not reply but shifted his gaze from the Supreme Emperor of the North, "Nor you, Dumu'an."
The power of both of these individuals was far above his, yet they had no intention of killing him.
But just a moment ago, Zu Taichu distinctly felt the crisis of 'death', a death in the real sense, one that not even the Infinite Miracle Power could save him from.
"Is it you?"
Zu Taichu turned his gaze to the old man standing at the back of the group, who had just made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"You should thank me, youngster."
He leaned on his cane, his white hair full, the old face covered with wrinkles, and his squinting eyes not focusing on Zu Taichu, yet the latter's heart raced, ready to respond to his attack.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of being your enemy, but please, young man, understand some manners."
Having said that, the old man then came before the older disciple, smiling, "Really strange, what happened to you, why have you changed so much?"
"If it had been the previous you," the old man looked back at Zu Taichu, "he shouldn't still be alive."
"People always change, old man."
The older disciple sat in the courtyard, crossing her legs in the style of a queen, and then rested her hands on her knees.
She didn't know who the old man before her was, but through the queen's residual memory, the older disciple noticed how much Isefia valued the old man: 'He's very strong, much stronger than everyone in the Seven Crown Emperors.'
"It doesn't matter."
The old man sighed, "No matter what, as long as you can make the decisions, that's fine."
After speaking, the old man moved to stand behind the Queen, like a mighty protector ensuring that no one could touch her.
"What exactly is going on now?"
Another figure removed his hood, revealing himself to be the Eastern Conquest Emperor who had previously helped Bailuo during the meeting of the Kings: "A family gathering?"
"Dumu'an, I, the boy from the Far North," the Eastern Conquest Emperor looked towards the old man, "and you, elder brother, it's really unexpected that all of us fellows could gather together like this."
"Indeed, it's not easy."
What these people were saying had already become a blind spot in her knowledge; the Queen did not have the memory of this part.
"Don't lump me in with you two, elders."
The Supreme Emperor of the North shrugged his shoulders, indicating he didn't want to join the old men's gathering: "I am much younger than you both."
"Isn't that right, Dumu'an?"
"Don't try to cozy up," Dumu'an said, "If you've been awake all this time, why have you only just arrived? Or do you still regard Yagen that highly?"
'Yagen!'
The elder sister heard this name for the first time, but she was unsure if it was a person's name, an item, or a place or organization.
Bailuo had not disclosed Yagen's existence to the elder sister, or rather, he couldn't mention to anyone that he had seen Yagen.
Moreover, the elder sister distinctly noticed that when Dumu'an mentioned the name, the unknown old man, the Eastern Conquest Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor of the North all became alert to something simultaneously.
"You're too arrogant, Dumu'an."
The face of the Supreme Emperor of the North darkened, his eyebrows furrowing: "Who gave you the courage to utter that person's name directly?"
"It is you who are scared, isn't it?"
Dumu'an and the Supreme Emperor of the North were old acquaintances, but at this moment, they seemed to have some kind of discord the elder sister was unaware of: "Yes, of course, you're scared, after all, she is your..."
"Enough, Dumu'an!"
The Eastern Conquest Emperor suddenly spoke, causing Dumu'an to swallow back the words he was about to say, although he was still very dissatisfied: "Can't I even speak of it? You are afraid of her, I am not."
"Yagen."
Di Sui muttered the word, and he laughed: "It seems the legend is true; she indeed is the source of miracles."
The source of miracles!
The elder sister kept her expression unchanged, but her heart was set ablaze with tumultuous waves: 'Has the trade dealt here really researched miracles to such a profound extent? Have they even figured out the source of miracles?'
Seven Crown Emperors, the elder sister had already identified four people's identities, which were the Upper Tier Master of Miracles, Zu Taichu from the Eastern Empire, the Emperor of the Far North Empire, the supreme leader of the Southern Continent, the Eastern Conquest Emperor, and Dumu'an, who was in the guise of an Emperor Candidate.
Beyond that, there was Di Sui, whose appearance was seen but origin unknown, as well as another elderly man of unknown identity among the Seven Crown Emperors.
Thus far, apart from the two individuals who had maintained silence since entering, the elder sister had grasped the majority of the trade's highest leadership layer.
Nevertheless, this also shocked the elder sister greatly because almost all of the seven people present wielded Superior Miracle Power.
Although the Supreme Emperor of the North was not a Master of Miracles, his sister was one of the mightiest figures on Miracle Continent.
Regrettably, the last two individuals remained silent and unwilling to remove their hoods, preventing the elder sister from gauging their identities.
"The reason for summoning you all this time is mainly for two matters," suddenly, the elder sister's tone changed, becoming more confident and casual: "First is about Saros; no one is to be his enemy."
