The reason why Lin Qian had come here was because Zhuge Ming had suddenly informed him that the density of the spiritual energy in Linhai Region had suddenly started to decrease.
Furthermore, the spiritual trees that had been planted had started to wither, and the branches and leaves were covered in blood-colored veins, as if they were growing blood vessels.
According to the Scribes of the Ministry of Heavenly Works in Linhai Region, these vein-like veins were like parasites that attached themselves to the spiritual trees and absorbed their nutrients.
At the same time, the spiritual trees that had been corroded by these vein-like veins no longer absorbed waste gas and dispersing soul power to produce spiritual energy. Instead, they absorbed the spiritual energy in the surroundings and transported it to an unknown place through these vein-like vein-like veins.
The only place in the entire Linhai Region that had changed was the lake in front of Lin Qian.
The lake that had been dyed red was extremely terrifying. Lin Qian could even clearly sense that the spiritual energy in the surroundings was gathering towards the lake.
Looking at the bright red lake, Lin Qian's expression was extremely ugly. Linhai Region was a part of the Hua Xia Empire, and it was his blood, sweat, and tears. However, an unknown factor was currently corroding his empire, like a parasite greedily stealing the empire's nutrients.
Thinking of this, he could not help but look at the hole that had pierced through the mountain wall. He frowned slightly. "Logically speaking, my father is very powerful. Since he had entered the lake to decipher the relic, he should know that there's something strange under the lake. Why didn't he tell me when he left the letter?"
Ye Xin also looked at the huge hole in the mountain wall, and she could not help but feel shocked.
If Lin Qian had not told her, Ye Xin would not have dared to imagine that the gentle-looking Uncle Lin was actually strong enough to use an ordinary wooden spear to pierce through a mountain!
When she looked at the lake, her brows were tightly furrowed.
The frantic weakening of the spiritual energy in Linhai Region made her very worried.
The reason why Linhai Prefecture was able to achieve what it was today, other than the shocking national strength of the Hua Xia Empire itself, the various things she had done in Linhai Prefecture had also been a great help.
It could be said that the current Linhai Prefecture was personally built by Ye Xin for Lin Qian. Now, because of this inexplicable reason, it was beginning to weaken, which made her heart ache.
"Little Qian, could the strangeness of the Southern Region and the Southern Nine Provinces be related to this?" Ye Xin suddenly asked as she looked at the strange lake.
Lin Qian stared at the blood-colored lake and nodded to himself. "This is very likely. I'm afraid that once the spiritual energy in the southern region of Linhai State reaches a certain level, this will happen!"
"This also explains why the Southern Region and the Southern Nine States are strange places."
Linhai Prefecture, Wind Prefecture, Lianshan Prefecture, Qi Prefecture, Tiaoshun Prefecture, Nanying Prefecture, Anjiang Prefecture, Chengmen Prefecture, and Nanlong Prefecture were collectively known as the Southern Region and the Southern Nine States.
In fact, after Lin Qian left Linhai State and saw the other prefectures in the southern region, he realized that the difference between Linhai State and the other prefectures was too great.
There was indeed a difference in the strength of the other prefectures in the southern region, but this was also related to the power itself. The spiritual energy density of each prefecture was also different, but the difference was still within an understandable range.
Compared to the other prefectures in the southern region, the southern region's area was not that far behind, but the spiritual energy density was pitifully low.
In the entire southern region, the people of the other prefectures could at least enter the basic three realms, and some could even enter the elemental realm at the age of a few decades. However, in the southern region's nine prefectures, most people did not have soul power, and the best was only at the elemental realm. This situation was the most obvious in Linhai State.
The situation of the other eight prefectures was slightly better than Linhai State, and there were at least a few Life and Death Realm soul warriors.
The southern region's nine prefectures were clearly not much different from the other prefectures, but the cultivation environment was so bad that other forces were not interested in this place at all.
It could be said that in the eyes of others, the southern region's nine prefectures were not valued at all, and belonged to the extremely remote human territory.
It was also because of this that Lin Qian's parents ran to this place to elope. After all, this place was too remote.
The situation of the southern region's nine prefectures had always been an unsolved mystery in the southern region. Because they could not figure it out, this place did not have much value, and over time, no one paid attention to it.
Until the emergence of the Hua Xia Empire, many people speculated whether the strange situation of the southern region's nine prefectures was related to this Hua Xia Empire.
In fact, the Hua Xia Empire was hidden in Linhai State, plundering all the spiritual energy of the southern region's nine prefectures, and secretly developing it. It was only today that it emerged.
The Hua Xia Empire did not refute this speculation, so many people thought that the southern region's nine prefectures was strange because of this.
In fact, Lin Qian deliberately did not refute it. This kind of misunderstanding could instead avoid a lot of speculation, and make the origin of the Hua Xia Empire more reasonable.
However, he was well aware that the strange situation of the southern region's nine prefectures was not caused by the Hua Xia Empire, and now, the reason for this strange situation was probably beginning to unfold in front of him.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Accompanied by two air-piercing sounds, two green figures suddenly passed by Lin Qian, and two Gale warriors dived into the blood-colored lake without hesitation.
Lin Qian stood beside the blood-colored lake with Ye Xin, quietly watching the ripples caused by the Gale's plunge into the lake, and quietly waiting for the results.
Not long after, Lin Qian received news from the Gale scouts. There was nothing strange at the bottom of the lake, but there was a crack at the bottom of the lake, and a tiny amount of blood seeped out, but it easily dyed the lake red.
Lin Qian frowned as he looked at the lake. Emperor Ming Huang's soul power suddenly surged out from his body, and suddenly surged towards the blood-colored lake.
In an instant, Lin Qian's soul power was like an invisible giant hand, imprisoning the entire blood-colored lake, and then forcibly grabbing it.
The entire blood-colored lake was directly lifted into the sky by Lin Qian, and quietly suspended above the original lake, enveloped by Emperor Ming Huang's soul power.
At the same time, Ye Xin also cooperated with him. With a wave of her slender hand, starlight soul power had already blocked the river water that flowed into the lake, so that it could no longer pour in.
And at this moment, the situation at the bottom of the lake was completely exposed, completely displayed in front of Lin Qian and Ye Xin.
A relatively well-preserved ancient building lay quietly at the bottom of the lake. When Ye Xin looked at the ancient building, she immediately understood that this should be the relic that Lin Qian had mentioned.
However, the situation at the bottom of the lake around this building was really shocking. The cracks were like dense spider webs, and a blood-colored aura was constantly seeping out.
And that blood-colored aura was obviously the culprit that caused the current situation in Linhai Province.
