Shennong Dao Master

"Xi Yinda Hoquan..." King Shenluo reported a very long string of names.

There's no help for it, the Dragon Clan's naming habits are like this, translating to Zhou Dynasty language results in a long string.

Place names can't be omitted; they express position and coordinates. Slight differences can mean something entirely different.

"Alright, I'll come over right away."

Zhao Xing sealed the Star Snail, then immediately sent out his clone.

The original body continued to stay near the grand arena.

...

Hila Mansion, the abbreviated name for the place where King Shenluo resides.

Zhao Xing met King Shenluo Luo Tian and Ye Yuxong on a high mountain in Hila Mansion.

"So it's really them?"

"Zhao Xing! Hahaha, long time no see!" Ye Yuxong laughed and rushed over.

"Brother Ye, King Shenluo." Zhao Xing greeted. "Why are you here too?"

"Little brother, let's go inside and discuss." Ye Yuxong pulled Zhao Xing inside.

Moments later, Zhao Xing was enlightened.

King Shenluo and Ye Yuxong were both specially dispatched by Emperor Jing.

Of course, 'specially dispatched' is a nicer way to put it.

In reality, Emperor Jing gave an order: To celebrate your two courtiers' promotion, I grant permission for you two to enjoy your (work) fortune at the Dragon Court Ancient Land.

Originally, the two weren't in Gu Ting Royal City.

But Ji Si entered quickly; he quickly contacted Ye Yuxong and King Shenluo nearby to go to Gu Ting Royal City.

Because the two were familiar with Zhao Xing, communication was easier.

"Does that mean there are still two regular resident Second Grade experts in Gu Ting Royal City now?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Not just that." Ye Yuxong said, "Including us, there are a total of five Second Grade experts, and also one deputy dean from the Divine Martial Academy, a grand musician from the Heavenly Music Mansion, and a grand doctor from the Heavenly Medical Academy."

This combination is quite odd.

But Zhao Xing has seen the world; military doctors also have combat capability, especially the branch 'Poison Doctor' in the doctor profession.

A Second Grade Poison Doctor can cause a large-scale plague, hard to defend against.

Similar to the Southern Barbarians' Insect Witch and Blood Witch combined.

"Not just us who came." Ye Yuxong said, "Other forces' strong people also increased, logically First-class powerhouses mainly go to the Central Dragon Court, one or two in Royal City at most, but now..."

"The Crown Prince of the Great Snake Country, Lord Feng Xiu."

"The Supreme Elder of the White Bone Sect, Seven Extremes True Monarch."

"Two princes from the Southern Barbarian Royal Court, 'Tuoba Lie' from the Golden Feather Royal Court, and Prince 'Mo Qi' from the Purple Dragon Royal Court."

"All famous first-class strong people!"

Many first-class strong people are quite renowned.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing understood, rather than considering the treasure hunt, he should think more about safety.

"Who is guarding Gu Ting Royal City?" Zhao Xing asked.

The city guard refers to the Zhou Dynasty's permanent Royal City first-class powerhouse.

"The city guard is 'Ji Mengjun'." King Shenluo showed admiration.

Ye Yuxong felt similarly, even showing some admiration in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.

Because Ji Mengjun is a First-class Dance Master, she is the deputy hall director of the Military Realm Battle Dance Hall and the Sixth Rank Dance Master of the Eight Dance Department in the Royal Palace.

Eight Sacrificial Dances are said to be the highest specification in the Zhou Dynasty, the Eight Dance Department Director in the Imperial Palace is considered the utmost honor for dancers worldwide.

It's configured for when the Emperor personally goes to battle, only the Emperor can use the Eight Sacrificial Dances.

Usually, the Eight Dance Department does not have a director.

So the Seven-Formation Dance Master is actually the leader of the dancers.

The Sixth Rank Dance Master is already second in command.

Ji Mengjun, as the Sixth Rank Dance Master, is known worldwide.

It is widely known that the Zhou Dynasty has six major war dances: "Yunmen", "Da Zhang", "Da Shao", "Great Xia", and "Da Huo", the first five were ancient legacies, "Great Wu" was created in the Zhou Dynasty.

Six major war dances are all ultimate skills.

But six major war dances are too large in scale, requiring thousands of people to perform.

Based on this, Zhou Dynasty dancers extended their creativity to develop six small dances.

Including: "Cloak Dance", "Feather Dance", "Emperor Dance", "Mao Dance", "Gan Dance", "Human Dance"

Among them, Ji Mengjun participated in the adaptation of "Emperor Dance", leading the creation of "Mao Dance".

The point is that Ji Mengjun is not old; she is not even four hundred years old.

For a First-class powerhouse, this age is considered the peak period.

Ji Mengjun is still a great beauty, once regarded as the number one beauty during the Jing Emperor Period.

"So a First-class Soul Dancer." Zhao Xing thought. "Such a 'beautiful mature woman', strong in skill, no wonder Ye Yuxong admires her."

As a Soul Dancer, Ji Mengjun acts alone, without the need to bring dancers to form a battle dance formation, capable of showcasing First-class strength.

The soul dance can only be watched at noon because at other times it would attract Primordial Souls.

"Did you two come here under orders from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Correct." King Shenluo and Ye Yuxong exchanged glances, then asked: "Zhao Xing, yesterday at midnight, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion from outside calculated that two Divine Artifacts emerged, the location is in Gu Ting Royal City, and it might be related to you."

Zhao Xing's expression remained unchanged, listening quietly.

"Lord Ji Si from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion said you might have passed by a location where some Divine Artifact is hidden."

"The chance of obtaining the artifacts is quite high."

Zhao Xing raised his head and asked: "Who else knows about this?"

King Shenluo said: "In Royal City, only myself, Brother Ye, and Lord Ji."

"Zhao Xing, think carefully, have you noticed anything unusual?"

Zhao Xing contemplated: "Lord Ji Si, is he in Royal City?"

Ye Yuxong: "Still on the way, will take about another day to arrive."

"In that case, wait for Lord Ji Si to arrive, and we'll talk together."

"Alright."

King Shenluo and Ye Yuxong both knew Zhao Xing had some connection with Fate Officer Tian Yan King, as it involved important secrets, they did not ask further.
