Since he met Ye Chundong, he had no reason to let Ye Zhen continue to live in the inn. What's more, he still had a lot of doubts to ask. He personally arranged a carriage to take Shui Yichen and An Ge to the Ye Residence.
Ye Chundong has been a seasoned traveller for many years. When he saw Wu Sheng, Fanfan, and others, he understood that they were unusual, but he didn't ask much about their identity.
"Mingxi, is he really your second uncle?" Shang'er whispered in Mingxi's ear. They had just beaten this man at the port not long ago, and there was still a little bruise on his face. How did he become her second uncle in the blink of an eye?
"It seems to be true." Mingxi whispered.
Shang'er softly nodded and stood beside Mingxi. Fortunately, it was Huo Huang who hit harder just now, so she only cared about Shui Yichen.
"Yao Yao, what's going on with Shui Yichen and An Ge?" Ye Chundong asked Ye Zhen after he had arranged for them to be settled.
"Before I answer you, second brother, tell me first, what happened in China?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. There was only her and Ye Chundong here. She had no intention of hiding the problem of the demon beasts. Sooner or later, it would be discovered.
Ye Chundong said, "About a year ago, almost two years ago, there was a sudden tsunami in Baoxiang. The surrounding small island countries were all submerged by the seawater, and the seawater rose all of a sudden. Half of Nanzhou was also submerged, and about half of the land around China's borders was covered by the seawater. It took three whole months for the seawater to recede, and after half a month, we realized that China's land was much larger than before."
"How could it be?" Ye Zhen felt incredulous. If there was land at the bottom of the sea before the high tide, they must have known it before.
"We didn't expect it either. Even Second Uncle felt strange. He personally went to the bottom of the sea to check. He said that because of the tsunami, the surface of the earth moved and China expanded. Anyway, no matter what the reason is, it is a good thing for China." Ye Chundong said with a smile.
Ye Zhen knew that her father knew more than ordinary people, but she still couldn't understand the reason. "What about Baoxiang?"
"It's gone …" Ye Chundong sighed. "We sent people to the bottom of the sea to look for it. The island country really disappeared."
"What about the people on the island?" Ye Zhen's face changed slightly. She could not bear to hear that even the people had disappeared.
Ye Chundong looked at Ye Zhen with pity.
When Ye Zhen thought of the Dai Luo King and company, she felt a sense of melancholy.
"By the way, I heard that there was an underwater palace in the north," Ye Chundong said. "I didn't have the chance to see it, but Second Uncle might have seen it."
"What?" Ye Zhen was stunned. "The underwater palace?"
Ye Chundong said, "Actually, it's just hearsay, and it happened in Northern Border City, which has been sealed off by the imperial court. I don't know what it is exactly, but I heard that after the seawater receded, a magnificent palace really appeared …"
There was actually such a thing! Ye Zhen thought of the underground palace.
"Second Brother, apart from the expansion of our territory, did anything else happen?" Why didn't the people here seem to have seen any demonic beasts before? They didn't even seem to be afraid of demonic beasts at all. The two-eared cat looked different from ordinary house cats. Why didn't they feel afraid?
Ye Chundong looked at Ye Zhen with a puzzled face. "Yao Yao, did something happen? You seem to be looking forward to something happening to China. "
"That's not what I mean," Ye Zhen whispered. "In the Central Plains … there are demonic beasts that are different from mortals. It's chaos everywhere. There's no peace and tranquility like before, but China is still prosperous. I'm surprised."
"You mean those beasts that look like animals? It's okay, I've met them a few times," Ye Chundong said. "As long as they're fiercer than them."
Ye Zhen gasped. He said it as if it was easy to fight with a human.
That's because he didn't encounter a high-level demonic beast.
"It seems that I have to get to Northern Border City as soon as possible," Ye Zhen said.
Ye Chundong asked, "Yao Yao, did something really happen in the Central Plains? How did Shui Yichen become like that? And An Ge … I thought he went to find you. "
"Yes, something happened." Ye Zhen glanced at him. She thought that there were demonic beasts in China, but she didn't know the extent of the damage. She didn't expect that the Central Plains would be so peaceful and stable. "Now that the demonic beasts in the Central Plains are rioting, the emperors of the Jin Kingdom, Yuan Kingdom, and the Northern Underworld Kingdom have lost the protection of the Purple Qi. The three countries have merged into the Ning Kingdom. In addition to the demonic beasts, there's also the resurrection of the Ancient Blood Demon. Although the Ancient Great Demonic Beast Wen Tian is still missing, he will appear sooner or later. Other great demonic beasts have already appeared in the human world."
Ye Zhen briefly told Ye Chundong what happened in the Central Plains. "… We're looking for the last Blood Demon, Ying Yang."
"Ancient Blood Demon … Wen Tian …" Ye Chundong was stunned. What Ye Zhen said was something he had never heard before. He couldn't even imagine what kind of scene it was. "Who are these people?"
"They all existed ten thousand years ago. In short, the situation in the Central Plains is more serious than the chaos in the world," Ye Zhen said. "It's a good thing that the peace in China is rare."
"Did you come to China because you think that the last Blood Demon is here?" Ye Chundong asked.
Ye Zhen said, "In fact, I'm not sure. That's why I came to have a look. I'm here to find someone."
"What about An Ge?" Ye Chundong's expression was solemn. He thought that Yao Yao just came back to visit Second Uncle, but he didn't expect that so many things had happened in the Central Plains.
"We found her on a small island, trapped by a thousand-year-old sea turtle," Ye Zhen said. "He hasn't woken up yet. We won't know until he wakes up."
Ye Chundong took a deep breath. He had been traveling around China for the past few years, and in the past year, he would occasionally come across animals that looked strange. He thought that it was because he was inexperienced, and that the animals overseas looked different.
It turned out that those were demonic beasts …
However, if demonic beasts hurt people, the demonic beasts he encountered before were very docile and wouldn't hurt people at all.
"Second Brother, have you seen Huang Fuchen? Is he in Northern Border City? "Ye Zhen asked.
"I met Mr. Huang Fuchen not long ago." Ye Chundong said, "He doesn't live in Northern Border City. He's in Burning Ocean Island. It's not far from here. We can get there in two days."
Ye Zhen gently clenched her hand. "Okay, let's go find Huang Fuchen first."
"I'll go with you." Ye Chundong said, "Burning Ocean Island is not easy to find. I'll lead the way for you."
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded gently.
"Yao Yao, those people who came with you …" Ye Chundong asked cautiously, "What are their origins?"
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "There are spirit beasts, demonic beasts, and blood demons."
"…" Ye Chundong suddenly regretted suggesting to lead the way.
