Chapter 117 The Reckless Marquis Jin Yu
The Lord of Ice Peaks sealed off what was happening here, but the Creator of the Giant Axe still found out.
However, after receiving notification from the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Darkness took the initiative to recruit disciples in the virtual universe, accepting Hong as his personal disciple!
However, due to the special status of the Lord of Darkness.
Therefore, Hong's teacher is temporarily replaced by a cosmic venerable one.
This is a high-level cosmic venerable, and the only disciple of the Lord of Darkness after he went into hiding. He is not from the human race, but from an alien race within the Hong Alliance. No one knows about his connection with the Lord of Darkness.
However, that's a story for another time.
Now, with a high-level cosmic venerable teacher on the surface and Earth and Gu Ce backing him up, Hong has enough confidence to go directly to talk to the Illusionary Spirit King.
Gu Ce was unaware of the specifics of their discussion process and its outcome.
After all, Gu Ce couldn't possibly help Hong like a nanny.
Hong also has his own ideas and doesn't really need others to help him. Gu Ce just gave him a hand so that he could better showcase his talent and gain recognition from others.
Otherwise, even if Gu Ce used his status to make the Illusionary Spirit King submit, it wouldn't be of much use.
What troubled Gu Ce more was what was to come.
……
"A welcome banquet? Can we cancel it for him? I haven't even been in the nutrient tank for more than a few days yet," Gu Ce said helplessly.
Gu Ce is now at the 30-fold genetic level!
Although the time spent soaking in the nutrient chamber is not 30 times that of others, it is estimated that it will still take nearly ten years to advance from the first level of the Domain Lord to the ninth level of the Domain Lord.
Having just arrived on Qiongyu Star and helped Hong resolve his troubles, Gu Ce finally had time to soak in the nutrient chamber. However, less than a month later, the official appointment from the Virtual Universe Company came down, forcing Gu Ce to take up his post ahead of schedule.
Gu Ce didn't have much affection for the three men from the Qianwu branch—the Purple Lightning Marquis, the Golden Feather Marquis, and the Black Annihilation Marquis—but he didn't really want to get involved in their petty affairs, as long as they didn't provoke him.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid that won't work," Ian said with a smile.
"This welcoming banquet is a tradition; almost every special envoy receives this treatment."
"Never mind." Gu Ce shook his head helplessly. "Let's go see what they're up to."
……
Under the jurisdiction of the Qianwu Continent.
Amethyst Island.
This is an incredibly beautiful island made entirely of purple crystal. Its size is comparable to that of Black Dragon Mountain Island. The island is dotted with palaces made of purple crystal, each with distinct heights and grandeur. The most dazzling palace is the one in the very center, which is tens of thousands of kilometers high.
This is the office of Virtual Universe Company's Qianwu branch.
Inside the grand hall was a huge round table with a diameter of over a kilometer, and beside the table were three tall thrones, each occupied by a person.
"Virtual Universe Corporation is about to send an inspection envoy. Do you have any ideas?"
The speaker was an ape-man with downy hair on his face, dressed in an exquisite and gorgeous purple robe, who was speaking with a frown.
"Don't even mention it. Besides him, there's another Luo Feng from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom! I'm more worried that Luo Feng will come back soon after he left."
With long, dazzling golden hair like the sun, and three golden feathers on his head, this man, whose appearance was so handsome it was almost sinister, spoke.
"Marquis of Purple Lightning, Marquis of Golden Feathers!" A gentle voice rang out, belonging to a barefoot girl draped entirely in black gauze. Her gaze seemed to subtly distort the surrounding space and time. "The appointments have been issued, and His Highness Gu Ce will soon arrive to assume his post!"
Both the Purple Lightning Marquis and the Golden Feather Marquis looked at the Black Annihilation Marquis.
"His Highness Gu Ce is a special envoy for oversight, and he has the authority to investigate many of the things we do while in office. I'm afraid he might find evidence that is detrimental to us!" the girl in black veil said softly.
"Marquis Zidian is in charge of the Commerce Department. There are plenty of messy transactions within the Commerce Department. Even if the accounts are done perfectly and a lot of evidence is destroyed, if they really investigate... Haha, monkey, even if you're not imprisoned in the Star Domain Prison, you'll have to go to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield to atone for your sins!" Marquis Jinyu chuckled.
"Is your military department clean?" Marquis Zidian glared at Marquis Jinyu.
"It's still better than your Ministry of Commerce." Marquis Jin Yu raised an eyebrow.
"alright!"
Hei Yanhou frowned and said softly.
Immediately, both of them looked at Hei Yanhou.
Marquis Heiyan was visibly angry: "Some things inevitably involve violations. If that special envoy is truly determined to investigate, and given enough time, he will definitely uncover some problems. Even if the problems aren't serious, dismissing us from our posts is no problem."
"But according to my investigation, this Prince Gu Ce dislikes trouble and doesn't even want to attend the banquet."
"Indeed." Marquis Jin Yu nodded slightly.
The three of them invited Gu Ce to a welcome banquet, but Gu Ce politely declined.
"No matter what, this position must be kept!" said the Purple Lightning Marquis in a low voice.
What are the illustrious identities of the three giants of the Qianwu branch?
To wield immense power!
It's much stronger than a typical immortal who has been granted the title of Marquis.
Of the three departments—military, commerce, and the military—the military is actually the most difficult and safest to investigate because it is so large and jointly manages the cosmic army with the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom. If the special envoy wants to investigate the military, he will need to go through the high-ranking officials of the Qianwu Cosmic Kingdom, which would be very complicated.
It would be much easier for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Commerce to investigate.
"Given Prince Gu Ce's status, and his aversion to trouble, he shouldn't bother us unless we cause too much of a commotion," Marquis Heiyan said softly. "Of course, we can't rule out that this is just a pretense, a way to lull us into a false sense of security and lower our guard."
"If he dares to do that, just secretly kill him!" Marquis Jin Yu said coldly.
As Jin Yuhou finished speaking, the scene fell into dead silence.
Marquis Zidian and Marquis Heiyan quietly distanced themselves from Marquis Jinyu.
"Wh...what's wrong?" Jin Yuhou was stunned.
"You don't know His Highness Gu Ce's identity?" Marquis Hei Yan frowned, looking at Marquis Jin Yu as if he were seeing him for the first time.
"I don't know, what's wrong? Isn't he just an ordinary domain lord from the Primal Secret Realm?" Jin Yu Hou asked in confusion.
"You're finished." Marquis Zidian shook his head, somewhat gloating.
The two were never on good terms to begin with.
"This is a virtual universe. You speak without thinking. If the Virtual Universe Company finds out, you're dead," Zidian Hou mocked. "That Prince Gu Ce has at least a Universe Venerable level backing him. A genius who has passed the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge at the Universe level is constantly being watched by the highest levels of headquarters. They might already know what you said."
"So what if I know? I was just saying it. You can't punish me for something so trivial, can you?" Jin Yuhou was still being stubborn.
"That's hard to say. What if you're mistaken for a spy from another race?" Just as Zidian Hou was about to continue his sarcasm, he saw an email suddenly appear in front of him.
Sender: Virtual Universe Company!
