"That's right and wrong at the same time."
General Qin smiled. "There's no way to verify how the Great Ruins came about, but when the Yankang Kingdom was founded, we received an oracle. The oracle said that the Great Ruins was a place abandoned by the gods, so the people abandoned by the gods were to stay in the Great Ruins and not come out. If any of them came out, they were to be killed without mercy. I heard that other than the Yankang Kingdom, the other countries also received similar oracles. However, the natives of the Great Ruins aren't the only ones living here. There are also evil people who choose to take refuge in the Great Ruins. In my opinion, these people are even more dangerous than the abandoned people of the Great Ruins! "
The seventh young master asked curiously, "I saw caravans entering and leaving the Great Ruins at the border, so why does the Yankang Kingdom still want to do business with the abandoned people of the Great Ruins?"
"Young master might not know, but although the Great Ruins is barren, it's rich in natural resources and countless natural treasures. We only need to use worthless things like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar to exchange for natural treasures and precious beast hides, so why not?"
General Qin said, "The border has been trading with the Great Ruins all these years, so we've earned a lot of money to subsidize the military. This is why the Yankang Kingdom has a strong army that far surpasses the other countries."
The seventh young master asked, "Wouldn't it be bad if the abandoned people of the Great Ruins sneaked into the pass?"
"Back then, there were also a few treasures that were passed down along with the oracle. They're called Inspection Mirrors, and they're hung on the impregnable passes leading to Yankang. As long as it's an abandoned person of the Great Ruins, they'll be revealed by the Inspection Mirrors. The National Division guessed that the abandoned people might have a different bloodline from us, but he didn't find anything different when he checked their bodies. "
General Qin smiled. "Every year, those impregnable passes would capture many demonfolk who wanted to escape to our Yankang. Some would be executed on the spot, while others would be sent to the mines to dig. It's already not bad if they can live for one or two years."
The ship gradually sailed away. Qin Mu stood on the cliff and praised, "That person is so powerful. His eyesight is extremely strong. No wonder he could become a general at such a young age! Could it be that the Yankang Kingdom is planning to launch an attack on the Great Ruins by drawing the geographical map of the Surging River? "
The Great Ruins was clearly a very barren place with dangers everywhere. Furthermore, every time the sun set, darkness would invade. He didn't think highly of the Yankang Kingdom's decision to send troops to the Great Ruins.
If the Yankang Kingdom's army was small, they wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between the jaws of the strange beasts in the Great Ruins. If many came, where could these soldiers hide when night fell?
Because there were too many dangers in the Great Ruins, no one could rule the Great Ruins.
Not even the Yankang Kingdom.
If the Yankang Kingdom were to invade, they would suffer greatly!
Suddenly, Qin Mu remembered something and immediately said, "Big fella, return to Doom Suppression Palace immediately and destroy the map of Great Ruins on the wall!"
The devil ape stood up and grabbed the dragon elephant. With a roar, it jumped onto the dragon elephant's back and the dragon elephant immediately sprinted away.
'The Yankang Kingdom has already started to map the geographical map of the Surging River. If they were to find the map in Doom Suppression Palace, it would be like adding wings to a tiger,' Qin Mu thought to himself with a gloomy expression.
Even though it was a pity to destroy the map, he had already memorized the geographical map of the Great Ruins in his mind and wouldn't forget it.
Not long later, the river surface suddenly turned faint red. Qin Mu was slightly stunned and looked upstream. He saw that the river water was even redder than downstream!
"Young master, there are corpses on the river!" Hu Ling 'er suddenly cried out.
Qin Mu also saw the corpses but didn't say anything. He looked upstream and saw even more corpses floating over. There were big fish and river beasts in the water. At this moment, they were churning on the surface of the water and taking the opportunity to eat the corpses. It was very lively.
Qin Mu opened his Heaven's Eyes and saw the face of a head bobbing up and down in the water. His body trembled slightly. These corpses belonged to the travelers who had passed by Jade Cloud Valley earlier!
The river water surged and the blood became even redder. Even the floating ice was dyed red.
This wasn't something that a hundred corpses could do!
The Surging River was very big and was over ten miles wide. The current was rapid and the blood of a hundred people couldn't dye the Surging River red.
Qin Mu's expression froze as he saw the corpse tide coming down from upstream!
It wasn't just a corpse tide. It was an ice corpse tide formed by over a thousand corpses mixed with pieces of floating ice!
These people must have been the strong practitioners who had ambushed the general. There were many of them and they had split up to head upstream to set up an ambush. However, they were all killed by the general!
To form an ice corpse tide meant that these people had died at almost the same time!
They had all died at almost the same time. They were either killed by the general or the strong practitioners on the ship!
Qin Mu composed himself. This was the first time he had seen such a tragic scene. It was even more tragic than when he had followed Madam Si to deliver a baby in the outer village and met with the massacre of the entire village when he was young!
Back then, his soul had left his body from fright and he had been captured by Madam Si. Even though he was already a martial arts practitioner, his soul still wavered when he saw such a scene.
It was too tragic.
Yankang's little general was so strong and so ruthless. If the cavalry of Yankang came to Great Ruins, how big of an impact would it cause to this uncivilized land?
Qin Mu shook his head and chased away the uneasiness. He then said to Hu Ling 'er, "Don't go out to drink for the next few days. Tell your sisters to behave themselves and not go out."
