West of Bieyuan Island.
A green mountain range that stretches from west to east.
Somewhere in the mountain range, a giant mountain towering straight into the sky, with a height of more than ten thousand feet. It looked really towering and unusually majestic.
At this time, in the mountainside of an unknown depth, the walls were full of potholes, and there were several long and narrow passages winding forward. Looking from the somewhat inclined rock wall, the passage actually vaguely led to a deeper part of the mountain. As the passage went deeper, the pits on both sides of the rock wall gradually became fewer.
In the end, only a hundred traces of being dug could occasionally be seen on both sides.
On both sides of the rock wall, there began to be a little light green light the size of rice grains, like a green star, and the passage also seemed to be filled with a faint layer of green gas.
The sound of metal collision, the sound of metal and rock began to linger.
It turned out that this place was a rare natural attribute crystal stone vein hidden deep in the mountainside. At the end of a certain mine path, dozens of miners in ragged clothes were silently mining with a hoe made of dark metal in their hands. Some fine gravel rolled down from time to time at their feet. At first glance, most of them seemed to be human race, but there were also non-human races such as orcs. There were a few people in the human race who seemed to be dressed as cultivators, but there was no trace of spiritual power coming out of them.
Suddenly, with an imperceptible muffled sound, one of the human race miners who looked like a cultivator had fallen to the ground and was motionless.
The miners next to him didn't even look at him, and continued to work as if they had long been accustomed to all this.
… …
At the same time, somewhere in Valley South City, not far from the south of Crystal Valley, one of the three major forces of Bieyuan Island, in a tall stone hall made of unknown boulders, a tall figure in a lavender robe was facing a guard-like alien race, putting a White Jade Slips on his forehead. Judging from the aura he exuded, he was actually a powerhouse of the Crystallization Period.
After a long while, he removed the Jade Slips from his forehead.
"The valley has come to ask for slave labor again. It's been quite frequent recently. Go to the Spirit Prison and cripple the cultivation of the few people who have been fighting in the city recently, then escort them to the valley to report, "the tall figure said slowly as he crushed the Jade Slips. His voice was slightly old.
"Yes, Lord Elder!" The guard answered and retreated to carry out the order.
The purple-robed figure was still standing with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about something.
…
"Martial Uncle Ye, the city ahead should be Valley South City."
On the shuttle-shaped flying ship, Liu Ming in a grey robe was standing at the front and looking into the distance. Suddenly, he turned around and said to the back.
Ye Tianmei, who was dressed in white, was sitting cross-legged at the back of the flying boat. She closed her eyes and adjusted her breath. She just nodded slightly when she heard the words. She looked a little thoughtful and didn't say much.
When Liu Ming saw this, he turned back with a slight smile and continued to look forward. During this period of time, he seemed to have become accustomed to Martial Uncle Ye's indifferent attitude.
It had been more than half a month since he left the port town. Along the way, he had some understanding of the situation on the island and the Valley South City after a little inquiry.
The aura on Bieyuan Island was abnormally rich. It was an excellent place for cultivation. Therefore, the birth rate of cultivators on the island was also quite amazing. It was basically three or four times more than that of Yunchuan Island. Because of this, ordinary mortals on this island often participated in spirit stone transactions, and they had long been accustomed to the cultivators.
As one of the three major forces on Bieyuan Island, Crystal Valley also maintained transactions on the surface, although there were open and secret fights with the other two forces. At the same time, because of the many rare spirit stone mineral resources it controlled, it also attracted frequent transactions between the sects inside and outside the island.
As the closest stronghold to the Crystal Valley, Valley South City itself was established by the Crystal Valley, and it had attracted a lot of famous merchants. Crystal Valley naturally knew the importance of this city, so they assigned a powerhouse in the early stage of the Crystallization Period to guard it for a long time. Therefore, most outsiders did not dare to make trouble in this city, otherwise, the consequences would be different. If it was light, they would be expelled from the city. If it was serious, their Spiritual Sea would be destroyed by the powerhouse of Crystal Valley through external tyrannical spiritual power, and their cultivation would be completely destroyed.
After all, in a place like Bieyuan Island, only the fist was recognized. Whoever's fist was harder could survive. This was also the hard truth of natural selection. Around this Valley South City, there were some small and medium-sized forces and sects, many of which had secretly attached themselves to Crystal Valley.
"It seems that things are a little complicated." Liu Ming said thoughtfully.
… …
It was early in the morning, and the sky was just bright. A round of red sun slowly rose not far away, and a circle of golden halo slowly shone on this city that was backed by a mountain on one side and facing the sea on the other.
The area of the city was quite large, more than hundreds of miles. Looking from the air, the city walls were gray. All the buildings in the city were made of black boulders, and they looked neat and orderly. At this time, there were already pedestrians and caravans going in and out of the city gate.
More than a dozen guards in uniform armor stood at the city gate, looking at the flow of people with awe. They carefully checked those who wanted to enter the city, and sometimes whispered. Of course, this kind of inspection was only for those who wanted to enter the city. For those who wanted to go out, no one asked at all.
The armor worn by these city guards was lavender, and they were all wrapped tightly from head to toe. But judging from their body shape, the disparity was quite big. It seemed that they were not of the same race. The so-called inspection was nothing more than holding a strange-looking mirror and scanning the faces of those people.
In the sky above the entire Valley South City, although there were no light curtain-like enchantments.
However, the sky above the city was empty. There was no escape light that dared to fly directly over the black stone wall that was dozens of meters high and directly entered the city.
The flying boat that Ye Tianmei and Liu Ming took did not land directly, but watched from a distance in the air for a while before landing somewhere nearby.
As two overseas visitors, they naturally did not have to worry about being found out.
The two then converged part of their aura and entered the city with the flow of people.
… …
At this moment, the streets of Valley South City were already crowded with people, and it was very lively.
There were many shops on both sides, and almost every door was bustling with people.
"With such a distance, it should be almost there." After Ye Tianmei walked to a nearby street, she immediately stood on the side of the road and stopped.
Liu Ming's eyebrows moved, but he didn't ask anything in the end.
He saw Ye Tianmei's sleeves shaking, and a white jade disc with the size of an inch appeared in her palm. She made a gesture with her other hand, and the disc began to shine. After a while, an undetectable phantom flew in from a distance. Ye Tianmei saw it, and her eyebrows stretched out, and she looked at the disc in her hand.
She saw that the disc was somewhat translucent, and there was a faint phantom swimming in it. Then, it slowly stopped and pointed in a certain direction.
Half an hour later, under the guidance of the disc, the two came to a relatively remote street in Valley South City, at the door of an inn called "Jadewave".
It was impossible for a general inn to be built in such a secluded area. After all, there would not be any guests here. But for some people who did not want to attract attention, this place was the best choice.
"The last place where the two deputies of the Alliance left the mark should be here." Ye Tianmei stood expressionlessly, and her pupils shrank slightly as she said slowly.
… …
Somewhere in the quiet courtyard of the inn.
The courtyard was full of all kinds of lush flowers and trees, and it was full of unknown flowers of different sizes and colors.
A winding gravel path led straight to the door of a seemingly ordinary guest room.
In the guest room, a man and a woman were standing and checking something carefully. It was Ye Tianmei and Liu Ming who were looking for them all the way.
"It seems that the two deputies are indeed cautious people. Not only the selected inn is located in a remote location that is not very eye-catching, but the rented courtyard is also so secluded." Liu Ming said after putting down a teacup in his hand.
Before entering the inn, the two of them had asked the innkeeper about it, and after roughly describing the specific characteristics of the two attendants, they knew that the two of them had indeed stayed here a few months ago.
The two rented a small courtyard at that time. After paying off a month's rent, they asked not to be disturbed. However, after three or four days, they disappeared inexplicably without checking out. The shopkeeper thought that the two went out to do something, so he didn't think much about it. As a result, after a month, the two still did not appear. The shopkeeper realized that something seemed to be wrong. He didn't see any luggage when he checked the two people's house. After a long time, the matter was naturally left unsettled. After learning that the courtyard had been rented by a few Sea Creature Clan guests, without Ye Tianmei's instruction, Liu Ming found those people. He showed a little bit of his strength and used both hard and soft tactics to scare them away.
… …
After some inspection, it seemed that nothing was found.
"It seems that the two didn't leave any clues here."
Liu Ming sighed and said helplessly.
Ye Tianmei didn't answer. After a little hesitation, she flipped her hand, and a small cauldron covered with silver threads flew out of her hand. After a blur, it was suspended in the air.
Ye Tianmei's hands kept making gestures and chanted a few chants. She opened her mouth and spat a mouthful of blood on the small cauldron in the air. Suddenly, the silver light shone brightly.
"This magic weapon contains the blood of the deputies that the Alliance purchased from the sea. It may be effective within a certain range." Ye Tianmei's face was a little pale, but she said calmly.
There was a slight crackling sound in the small cauldron in the air, and then the surface flickered with silver light. Two thumb-sized bloody light balls slowly appeared in the cauldron. They then turned into two bloody shadows and blasted out, disappearing into an inconspicuous corner of the house.
At a glance, there were a few drops of black blood in the corner.
