The reason why Zhao Hai didn't arrange the formation in the vicinity of the Hidden Cloud Village was because the situation was too sensitive. Zhao Hai wanted to wait for people to check the situation of the Hidden Cloud Village before arranging the formation. Zhao Hai believed that those people wouldn't appear for a long time after checking the situation of the Hidden Cloud Village. This was the perfect time to arrange the formation.
If the formation was arranged at this time, then it would certainly alert the surrounding people. Although the Hidden Cloud Village was deliberately forgotten by the people of the Cloudsea Territory, they didn't really forget about it. The appearance of Zhao Hai and the others caused a huge shock to the Cloudsea Territory. The Cloudsea Territory wouldn't let go of any place, so they would certainly investigate the Hidden Cloud Village.
If the formation was arranged at this time, then it would certainly attract the attention of those people. If they send Immortal Experts to the Hidden Cloud Village, then they might discover the formation. Once they discover the formation, they would certainly find a way to break it. Moreover, they would be able to guess that something had happened to the Hidden Cloud Village. This was because the Great Clans had some understanding of the Hidden Cloud Village's situation. With the strength of the Hidden Cloud Village, it was impossible for them to arrange such a formation.
As long as the surrounding Great Clans finished checking, then the Hidden Cloud Village would be safe. At that time, Zhao Hai could arrange the formation. Once the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield attacked, the surrounding Great Clans wouldn't care about the Hidden Cloud Village. If the surrounding whitecloud islands were occupied by the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield, then the Hidden Cloud Village would be even safer.
Because he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Great Clans, Zhao Hai didn't arrange the formation at this time. There was also another reason why Zhao Hai hadn't arranged a magic formation yet. It was because it would take a lot of time to make.
This formation wasn't an existing formation. It was something that Zhao Hai wanted to make. This formation contains white clouds and can automatically absorb nearby black clouds to provide energy to the formation. There was no need for people to add energy to the formation. Moreover, the spatial refraction produced by the formation was omnidirectional. However, people wouldn't be able to feel it. They would only feel that they were flying forward and wouldn't feel any change. Even if they used instruments, they wouldn't be able to detect it.
Because of Zhao Hai's many requirements, it took a long time for the machine to analyze and design the formation. It also took a lot of time for Zhao Hai to complete the formation recently. And because of the previous reasons, Zhao Hai didn't arrange the formation until now.
In fact, even if Zhao Hai didn't assign tasks to the Cloudsea Territory, he could still get information about the surrounding whitecloud islands. However, that would be too conspicuous. What if Mu Yu asked him where he got this information? He couldn't just use the Undead all the time, right? Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to use this method instead. He spent a lot of resources to hide the existence of the Space. Moreover, this way, the Cloudsea Territory cultivators would feel a sense of belonging towards the Hundred Treasures Realm. They would be happy if they didn't do anything.
At this time, the surrounding forces began to investigate the Hidden Cloud Village. Moreover, the scope of these forces' investigation was slowly approaching the Hidden Cloud Village.
Zhao Hai already knew about this. Therefore, he gave the Hidden Cloud Village's Cultivators a task. He wanted them to pretend that nothing happened and cooperate with the other party's investigation.
The first to arrive at the Hidden Cloud Village was the Mi Clan of Cloud Rice Township. The Mi Clan was the closest to the Hidden Cloud Village, so they were also the first to arrive.
Before the Mi Family arrived at the Hidden Cloud Village, Zhao Hai already knew about it. He immediately told Zhe Jun and the others about the Mi Family's arrival. Zhe Jun and the others were already prepared to wait for the Mi Family's arrival.
Mi Ruyan was the Third Young Miss of the Mi Clan's Third Branch. The Mi Clan was a Great Clan, and the Third Branch was one of the more powerful branches. Mi Ruyan's strength wasn't bad, she was already a Severed Soul Expert. No matter which branch of the Mi Clan they were from, whether it was a man or a woman, once they reach a certain age, they would be assigned a task. Some tasks were big, some were small, some were good, and some were bad. Mi Ruyan's task was originally good. She was responsible for guarding the northeast of Cloud Rice Township. She didn't have much to do, so she had a lot of time to cultivate. She could also manage a lot of people.
However, after the appearance of Zhao Hai and the others, Mi Ruyan's good days came to an end. The entire Mi Clan entered a state of alert. Mi Ruyan personally led people to patrol the area.
Ten days passed, but not a single person was found. Then the clan issued an order to check the north and see if there were people from the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield in the Hidden Cloud Village.
The people from the Cloudsea Territory didn't believe that the people from the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield wouldn't be able to find a place to settle down. The Immortal Experts they captured before said that the influence of the Cloudsea Territory on people from the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield was huge.
Therefore, if the people of the Cloudsea Territory wanted to find traces of people from the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield, they would have to start from the various whitecloud islands. North of the Yun Clan was the Hidden Cloud Village.
Mi Ruyan knew a little about the Hidden Cloud Village. However, she heard that the people in the Hidden Cloud Village were insignificant people who offended people. Although the village was close to the Sea of Beasts, it didn't have any special products. Additionally, it was easy to be attacked by the Sea of Beasts. Because of this, nobody paid attention to the village, let alone her.
But this time, it was related to the entire Cloudsea Territory, so Mi Ruyan had to be careful. In the end, she decided to make a trip herself. Although the Mi Family mainly produced rice, they would still go and catch some cloud beasts from time to time. First, they could save some money. Second, they could train the family's younger generation. Because of this, the family also had several Cloud Piercing Ships.
However, the Mi Clan's Cloudpiercing Ships weren't very big. Although the Mi Clan was a Great Clan, because they mainly produced cloud rice, they weren't very rich. The largest Cloudpiercing Ship in the clan could only carry a hundred people. This time, Mi Ruyan brought five Cloudpiercing Ships that could carry a hundred people and went straight to the Hidden Cloud Village.
Zhao Hai and Mu Yu had already hidden themselves. The entire Hidden Cloud Village had returned to its original state. However, the people here were now led by Zhe Jun and Li Jiang.
As soon as Mi Ruyan's Cloudpiercing Ship entered the Hidden Cloud Village, she saw the people of the village fleeing in all directions. Some of them even flew into the sea of clouds. This made Mi Ruyan stare. Then her expression changed as she gave the order to chase after those people.
At this time, a middle-aged man beside Mi Ruyan looked at her and immediately knew what she was thinking. He opened his mouth and said, "Third Young Lady, there's no need to chase after them. It's impossible for those people to know anything. They saw the Cloudpiercing Ships and were scared away. The people here have offended Great Clans and had no choice but to come here. Their courage isn't big. As soon as they see the Cloudpiercing Ships, they immediately ran away and hid for a few days before coming back."
When she heard the middle-aged man, Mi Ruyan's expression became better. Then she looked around and frowned, "The Hidden Cloud Village isn't small. If someone occupies it, then they would have a foothold in the future. Maybe they would slowly become the second Cloudbeast Fortress. Why hasn't anyone occupied it?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Third Young Lady, it's precisely because the location is good that no one has occupied it. The Cloudbeast Fortress is very big and has a lot more goods than this place. Most importantly, the Cloudbeast Fortress doesn't want this place to be occupied."
When Mi Ruyan heard the middle-aged man, she couldn't help but ask, "They don't want it to be occupied? Why? "
The middle-aged man replied, "This is caused by the Cloudbeast Fortress. If the Cloudbeast Fortress is the only foothold in the Sea of Beasts, then people who want to explore the Sea of Beasts can only stay in the Cloudbeast Fortress. Everything they need can be bought from the Cloudbeast Fortress. Sometimes, the things they get will be sold in the Cloudbeast Fortress. This will bring huge benefits to the Great Clans in the Cloudbeast Fortress. In order to maintain the uniqueness of the Cloudbeast Fortress, no matter who wants to occupy the Hidden Cloud Village, the three Great Clans won't agree."
Mi Ruyan knit her brows and said, "Then they can also send people to occupy the Hidden Cloud Village. If the three Great Clans occupy the Hidden Cloud Village, then wouldn't they have another place?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "The three Great Clans also thought about this before. However, the other clans didn't agree. They wanted to occupy the Hidden Cloud Village, but the three Great Clans didn't let them. The three Great Clans wanted to occupy the Hidden Cloud Village, but the other clans didn't let them. The two sides fought several times in the Hidden Cloud Village and both sides suffered casualties. In the end, they simply gave up. Because of this, the Hidden Cloud Village didn't even have a transmission formation. Later on, some people who offended the three Great Clans came to live in the Hidden Cloud Village. Slowly, the Hidden Cloud Village became what it is today."
Mi Ruyan nodded, then she sighed and said, "There are some pitiful people here. It's like they're in prison. There's no freedom to speak of. Didn't the Great Clans come here to arrest people? Didn't the people here offend the Great Clans? Would the Great Clans just let them go? "
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "The Great Clans don't want to let them go. Although the people here have offended the Great Clans, the offense wasn't very serious. If the Great Clans come here to arrest people, the people here would just run to the Sea of Beasts. In any case, they would die if they were caught. If they run to the Sea of Beasts, they might be able to survive. Several Great Clans came here several times, but when they discovered this situation, they gave up in the end."
Mi Ruyan nodded. Then she looked at the Hidden Cloud Village and said, "It seems like the people from the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield didn't come here. I just don't know what they found. Fourth Uncle, find someone to ask." Zhao Hai nodded.
The man called Fourth Step by Mi Ruyan was the middle-aged man. He was a steward of the Mi Clan. He wasn't originally a member of the Mi Clan, but rather a servant of the Mi Clan. For generations, he was a servant of the Mi Clan. In his grandfather's generation, he was given the surname Mi. His entire family was loyal to the Mi Clan.
When he heard Mi Ruyan, Mi Four nodded and said, "Yes, Third Miss, I know a person here. His surname is Li and his name is Jiang. He used to be a member of the Li Family. Later on, the Li Family was exterminated by the Nie Clan. Only Li Jiang managed to escape here. Because the Li Family had some business dealings with our family, Li Jiang's father and I have a good relationship. After Li Jiang escaped to the Hidden Cloud Village, he got in touch with me. He would often go to Cloud Rice Country to buy rice and sell it here. I think he should be here right now, I'll call him over and ask him."
Mi Ruyan nodded and said, "I know about the Li Family. Their Wine Flag Rice Wine is very good. Unfortunately, they were destroyed. Our family's business was affected during that time. I heard that the Li Family was very fair in doing business. It's a pity that such a family was destroyed just for profit. If we can help, then we should help. If he's here, then we should call him over and ask him."
Mi Four nodded. His spiritual force swept through the Hidden Cloud Village and quickly found Li Jiang. Li Jiang was hiding in his room, but he didn't run away.
Mi Four immediately shouted, "Li Jiang, come out and see me."
Li Jiang stared when he heard this voice. Then he immediately ran out of his room and flew towards the Cloud Piercing Ship. When he saw Mi Four, he immediately bowed and said, "Li Jiang has seen Uncle Four. Uncle Four, how are you? Please come down and have a seat. "
Mi Four turned his head to Mi Ruyan. Mi Ruyan waved her hand and said, "Let's talk here."
Mi Four nodded, then he turned to Li Jiang and said, "Li Jiang has seen the Third Miss. The Third Miss has something to ask you. You need to answer truthfully, don't hide anything."
Li Jiang quickly bowed and said, "I've seen the Third Miss. I don't know what the Third Miss wants to ask. This Li Jiang will tell you everything he knows."
Mi Ruyan waved her hand and said, "Recently, people from the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield appeared in the Cloudsea Territory. Do you know about it?"
Li Jiang nodded and said, "I know. A few days ago, some people from the Hidden Cloud Village went to the Cloudbeast Fortress and heard about it. The Cloudbeast Fortress is currently investigating this matter."
Mi Ruyan nodded and said, "Have people from the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield appeared here? Or have you discovered anything recently? Is there anything wrong with the surroundings? "
Li Jiang shook his head and said, "I'm sure that we haven't been to the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield before. I haven't heard about the situation outside. I rarely go out, so I can't say for sure. If Sister Little Third allows me, I'll find someone to ask. I'm sure Third Miss wouldn't be wrong."
Mi Ruyan nodded and said, "Go find him. If he can provide anything of value, I'll reward him."
Li Jiang nodded, then he turned around and flew down. Before long, he brought Zhe Jun to Mi Ruyan. Zhe Jun bowed and said, "Zhe Jun has seen the Third Miss. Please ask."
