"This … this …"
The guard looked like he was in a difficult position. He stammered, "This is our military secret. I can't say it casually."
Qin Yi chuckled and said, "It looks like you still don't understand your current situation."
As he spoke, the Seven Kill Sword on the guard's neck suddenly emitted a chill. The guard could not help but shiver.
"Speak! I will tell you everything! "
In his extreme fear, he finally could not hold it in any longer and spilled everything.
…
It turned out that the Silver Snow Nation could not make ends meet due to the constant war.
They urgently needed more resources to support them in the war against the Jade Willow Nation.
In desperation, they finally pointed the spearhead at the surrounding regions. The Cloud Sea Domain was the region closest to them. It was also the largest region. Naturally, the Cloud Sea Domain became their primary target.
Fortunately, although they wanted the resources of the Cloud Sea Domain, they did not dare to attack it directly.
No matter how weak the people here were, this was still their territory.
A strong dragon could not suppress a local snake. As the upper echelon of the Silver Snow Nation, they naturally knew this principle.
Furthermore, with their current situation, they could not send a large number of soldiers to occupy the territory.
This would only make them more passive in the war against the Jade Willow Nation.
Thus, they thought of an idea. They formed an alliance with one of the sects in the Cloud Sea Empire.
Then, they helped this sect to unify the Cloud Sea Empire.
The condition was that the Silver Snow Nation had to excavate resources in the Cloud Sea Empire for ten years!
After ten years, the army of the Silver Snow Nation would withdraw from the Cloud Sea Empire. At that time, the power of the nation would return to the hands of this sect.
This way, they would save energy to resist the endless harassment and resistance. They would be able to continuously transport resources to the Silver Snow Nation!
"This means that you have already controlled the royal family and the other sects, right?"
A cold light flashed in Qin Yi's eyes. He asked again, "Tell me, which of the three sects did you form an alliance with?"
To be honest, his emotions right now were indeed quite unstable. After all, before he left, he had already facilitated the harmonious coexistence of the three sects, and even improved the status of the royal family.
When Xiao Chen left, he was certain that the situation in the Cloud Sea Domain would be stable for at least the next few hundred years.
Therefore, he did not have any ill intentions towards Luo Wuji and Palace Master Mu before he left.
But unexpectedly, there was still a traitor among them! Just like the Deep Abyss Holy Valley, Xiao Chen was prepared to sell the entire Cloud Sea Domain to someone else.
"This …"
The guard showed a bitter expression and finally begged for mercy, "Sir, this lowly one was sent here to guard the pass. As for how they did it, I really don't know! "
Qin Yi took a deep look at him. After confirming that he was not lying, a trace of disappointment appeared in his heart. Obviously, if he wanted to find out who the enemy was, there was no other way but to personally investigate.
"One last question!"
Qin Yi's voice had already turned incomparably cold. Clearly, he was about to lose his patience. "Who is the leader of your operation in the Cloud Sea Domain? How many troops did you send?"
The guard did not waste any time and immediately replied, "Our leader this time is the 1-Star Marshal Huang Chengji. Because there are many battles at the front lines, we did not dare to deploy too many troops here. Therefore, there are only five thousand people here this time. "
After saying that, he started to beg for mercy again. "Sir, this lowly one has already told you the truth. On account of my cooperation, please spare this lowly one's life! "
Qin Yi said indifferently, "Be it on the battlefield or elsewhere, your actions are considered a traitor. If it were any other time, I would consider letting you off. But now … sorry, I'm not in a good mood! "
Right after Xiao Chen finished speaking, the guard's head fell to the ground. His primordial spirit also turned into ashes. He could not be more dead!
"Everyone, you have heard it now."
Qin Yi stood up and looked at the crowd. "The current situation is indeed not optimistic. Although we have a general understanding of the situation, we are still not clear on the details. "
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Yun Die 'er. "Die' er, I know you are very anxious right now. I am the same. However, the more anxious we are, the more we cannot act recklessly! "
Yun Die 'er took a deep breath. Liu Fu and Liu Rong, who were beside her, were comforting her from behind. Her expression finally warmed up and she nodded at Qin Yi.
"Right now, the situation in the imperial capital is not clear. It is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. If we just swagger into the city like this, it is very likely that the other party will see through us. "
Qin Yi's gaze became increasingly deep. He said, "Therefore, we need to use another method to sneak into the city and find reliable people to ask about the details."
The others also asked, "Then how do we go?"
After all, this was their first time coming to the Cloud Sea Domain. They did not have a good understanding of the situation here.
"All of you, follow me."
After saying that, Qin Yi led the group out of the stone room. Then, he did not choose to enter the pass. Instead, he turned around and headed back to the Cloud Sea Port.
With their current speed, this distance naturally would not pose a problem for them.
After a while, under Qin Yi's lead, the group arrived in front of a transportation array.
"I hope it is still useful!"
As he gazed at the transportation array in front of him, Qin Yi took a deep breath and started to pray in his heart.
This transportation array was secretly built by the Yin-Yang Academy to connect the Cloud Sea Port and the academy.
Back then, Qin Yi and the others had also used this transportation array to go through several convenient transportation arrays.
He was quite confident in the concealment of this transportation array. However, this did not mean that the other party would definitely not notice it and destroy it.
However, this was the best choice right now. He had no other choice. After inserting the spirit stones into the array and activating it, the group stepped onto the transportation array and began the transportation.
With a flash of light, the group disappeared.
However, when their feet touched the ground again, the surrounding darkness and the smell that wafted over made him frown.
"The location has changed?"
