Above the city walls of Decimating Abyss City.
Gu Yunqiu asked Shen Moping about the information he had received from the spies.
By the time Shen Moping was done, all of the Pseudo Immortal experts above the city walls stared at the young lady in disbelief. "Young Mistress Ling 'er, what in the world did you do? Why did you make the Giant Demons search for you at all costs? "
Did she dig up the graves of her ancestors or snatch their wives?
They should have mobilized all of their forces!
The Demon Monarch had instructed the Commanders to search for Gu Ling 'er discreetly, but with so many of them mobilized, the news could no longer be concealed. Besides, the tortoise had caused such a huge commotion that even a True Immortal had gone missing. How could they possibly hide it?
Since they couldn't hide it anymore, there was no need for them to do so. Thus, the Sky Fall Demon Monarch ordered them to find Gu Ling 'er before the Three Beasts and exchange for Old Ancestor Qiong Yuan. Otherwise, the advantage that the Giant Demons had just gained would be gone.
"I only mocked them a little. I really didn't do anything else …" Gu Ling 'er blinked her eyes in aggrievement.
She was the one who was chased by the five The Great Demon Kings and was nearly trapped in the Demon Monarch City. Why did it feel like the Giant Demons had suffered a huge loss?
Even if the five Great Demon Kings died, it had nothing to do with her!
"Forget it. The Giant Demons have always been unreasonable. Since they gave the order, someone will definitely carry it out. It's no longer safe for you to be here. You should return to Dry Origin City as soon as possible …"
Gu Yunqiu said after a moment of contemplation.
The young lady was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly replied, "I won't leave. I want to fight against the enemy with everyone. How can I leave alone at such a crucial moment?"
"The Demon Monarch City has caused such a huge commotion, and Old Ancestor Qiong Yuan has gone missing. The Giant Demons are currently under great pressure, so they probably won't come looking for trouble for the time being. Protect yourself well and fight against the enemy with everyone!"
Gu Yunqiu explained before sending a telepathic message over. "If you are discovered here, you'll be surrounded by the Giant Demons. If things go wrong, it might even lead to the final battle!"
"Then …" Gu Ling 'er was stunned.
She had carefully listened to and read Hall Master Shen's message earlier. The current Giant Devil Tribe would disregard everything in order to find her. As long as they knew that she was in Decimating Abyss City, they would definitely launch a frenzied attack at all costs.
At that time, he wouldn't be helping everyone in the battle. Instead, he would be harming them.
"You should return to Dry Origin City first. That place is the heart of the human race. It's safer there. The Giant Devil Race can't launch a large-scale sneak attack!" Gu Yunqiu transmitted.
Gu Ling'er clenched her fists, unable to say anything.
To have such a cultivation at such a young age, talent was only one of the reasons. More importantly, it was because he had always been on the frontlines of battle against the Giant Demons, constantly drifting between life and death.
She had already gotten used to this kind of life. She was truly unwilling to leave and rest in the rear during this most dangerous time …
Knowing what Luo Ruoxin was thinking, Gu Yunqiu said, "We aren't going to Dry Origin City to rest. Rather, we are going to do something more important!"
"What is it?" Gu Ling 'er asked in surprise.
Gu Yunqiu's eyes flashed. "Decimating Abyss City has been at war with the Giant Devils for many years, so the possibility of hiding a devil spy isn't high. With you here, they can only force their way in. But … it's different in Dry Origin City! Our people were able to sneak into Devil Imperial City. Can you guarantee that there are no spies from the devil race in Dry Origin City? "
Gu Ling'er shook her head.
For the two races to be able to fight for ten thousand years, it was inevitable that they would have a deep understanding of each other's strength. And in order to obtain this information, there were bound to be spies.
Just like the Thousand Faces Palace of the human race, intelligence warfare was often more brutal than actual battles.
Dry Origin City was the largest city of the human race and the base of the Dry Origin Alliance. How could there be no spies in it? Not only so, there were probably quite a few of them!
However, it was a pity that the city was simply too big, and there were too many people in it. On top of that, the Demon Race's concealment techniques were incomparably profound. As long as they didn't expose themselves, it would be impossible to find them.
"Master, you mean that I should take the initiative to lure the spies out?"
Gu Ling'er's eyes lit up.
As a cultivator who was skilled in disguise and had entered Demon Imperial City multiple times to scout for information, the contribution she would gain from capturing all of the other party's spies would surely be greater!
"That's right. When you arrive at Dry Origin City, try not to stay in the Elder Council or the other places. The other party won't dare to make a move in those places. Instead, find a quiet place to stay and reveal yourself in a crowded place. Even if the Giant Demons know that it might be a trap, they won't be able to resist making a move … This isn't a scheme but an open one! "
Gu Yunqiu's eyes flickered. "These people have been hiding in the human race for so many years. It's time to ferret them out!"
"Alright!" Gu Ling'er's eyes lit up.
She was never afraid of danger. Instead, she liked to take risks! This kind of matter that could capture the Giant Demon spies was even more challenging and suited her taste.
"Don't worry. I'll send people to hide around you. If there's danger, they'll make a move …" Gu Yunqiu said. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the girl. "Don't! If there's someone guarding, the other party will be wary. Many spies won't be able to be dug out! Master, not only can you not send people, but even tell the people in the Elder Council not to make a move unless it's a critical moment! "
Gu Yunqiu was stunned and frowned. "This will be very dangerous …"
"I know it's dangerous!" The corners of Gu Ling'er's mouth curled up, excitement in her eyes. "But there's a challenge only when there's danger. I want them to feel that there's a chance, so they won't be able to resist coming to capture and besiege us. Only in this way can we capture them all in one net!"
"This … Alright then!"
Knowing his disciple's personality, Gu Yunqiu fell silent for a moment before eventually nodding. He passed a jade token over and said, "I'm not too worried about your ability to escape. However, there are no absolutes in the world. If you encounter any danger that you can't resolve, just crush this jade token.
"This is a treasure that I obtained from the Spirit Abyss. It's a Quasi Immortal artifact. Once it shatters, it'll immediately form a unique defensive barrier that lasts for twenty breaths. During this period of time, putting aside a 9-dan Pseudo Immortal, even an expert with a Quasi Immortal artifact will find it difficult to break through. With this amount of time, it should be able to hold on until the experts of the Elder Council arrive! "
"Thank you, master!"
Knowing the other party's sincerity, Gu Ling'er accepted the jade token and placed it into her storage ring.
"Un. I have to guard this area to prevent the Giant Demon from attacking, so I won't be able to take care of you. Remember, you have to be careful … It's best if you can capture the spies, but if you can't, don't risk your life …" Gu Yunqiu cautioned.
He had raised her from a young age, and other than the debt of imparting his skills to her, he had already treated the young lady as his own daughter.
Gu Ling'er nodded. Instead of replying to Gu Yunqiu telepathically, she replied with a crisp voice, "Alright, I'll return to Dry Origin City!"
"That's right … Qian Qi, Yuan Hai, the rest of you, and young friend World's Edge, you should follow Ling'er. It's fine if you can't assimilate the Sealing Stone. As long as you cultivate diligently, there will come a day when you'll be able to become the cornerstone of our resistance against the Giant Demon!"
Gu Yunqiu waved his hand.
"This …"
Qian Qi, Yuan Hai, and the others glanced at one another before eventually nodding. "Yes!"
They had come here confidently only to end up empty-handed. On top of that, a young man who had appeared out of nowhere had given them a huge blow. This made them realize that they were not the chosen ones, and they had to continue working hard!
Su Yin did not reject the offer either.
What he urgently needed to do now was to think of a way to show off … Ah pui, show off his strength and raise his cultivation to the peak of the Pseudo Immortal Realm. Then, he would inform Little Wu, Old Man, and the others that he was still alive and could come over.
As for the resistance against the Giant Demon … it did not matter whether he was there or not. There was no need for him to get involved.
Besides, the timing of the invasion was still uncertain. Rather than being cannon fodder, it was better for him to raise his strength as soon as possible.
"Alright, let's go then …"
After the discussion, there was nothing left for them to stay. Gu Ling'er led the way while Su Yin and the others followed closely behind. Soon, they flew toward the back of Decimating Abyss City.
After the group left, the city wall fell silent.
Shen Moping looked at Gu Yunqiu and asked, "Are you really not going to send anyone to follow them?"
Even though Hall Master Gu Yunqiu and Miss Ling'er had discussed the matter telepathically, as the head of the Thousand Faces Palace, he knew what the other party was thinking.
"It's not like you don't know Ling'er's personality … If I were to send someone, I'll definitely fall out with her! Forget it, I don't know if I can recover from my injuries. Judging from the Giant Demon's attitude, even if they don't attack in the next few days, I won't be able to rest in peace for the time being … Let her deal with it alone. Treat it as her final trial. Otherwise, even if she becomes the hall master, she won't be able to convince the others! "
Gu Yunqiu shook his head.
"Un!" Shen Moping nodded. "That Su Tianya … could he be a spy for the Demon Tribe?"
Knowing what Zhang Xuan was worried about, Gu Yunqiu chuckled. "That's unlikely … Based on Qin Yuan's deduction, he should be Su Yin from the Great Yan Prefecture's Immortal Subduing Sect! Su Tianya is just an alias! He's quite talented, but it's a pity that his mental fortitude and mental fortitude are lacking … However, it's not a big deal. Let him follow Ling'er as a form of training, and it'll be beneficial to his growth in the future! "
"That's true. Being able to detect spies and face assassination attempts at all times is beneficial to one's mental fortitude … This Su Tianya sure is lucky!"
Coming to a realization, Shen Moping nodded in agreement.
Su Yin sure is lucky to have met Miss Ling'er …
…
"This is Dry Origin City?"
Following behind the group, it did not take long for them to leave the Lingyuan Realm. Looking at the massive city in the distance, Su Yin's eyes widened in shock.
Previously, he thought that the Great Yan Royal City was already huge, but compared to this, it was nothing at all!
There were all kinds of buildings that extended for several hundred li, and there was a huge crowd in the city. There were at least sixty to seventy million people in the city!
Even the most populous city in his previous life paled in comparison to this.
"This place is located at the intersection of the Great Qian Prefecture and the Great Origin Prefecture. It used to be a desolate place, but after ten thousand years of development by the Dry Origin Alliance, it was able to reach its current state!"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's expression, Gu Ling'er chuckled softly.
Su Yin raised his head to take a look. On the two sides of the city were towering mountain ranges. The entire Dry Origin City seemed to be built in the midst of a massive valley, but at the same time, it also felt as if it was standing in the middle of a canyon.
"Ten thousand years ago, the space here was torn apart, and spiritual energy seeped out. Countless predecessors built an alliance here to stop the infiltration of the Great Demons … After a long time, this city came into being. Even though it's still a little lacking compared to the Great Qian Prefecture and Great Origin Prefecture, it's not too far off!"
Qian Qi explained with a smile.
Su Yin nodded in response.
Ten thousand years ago, something happened. The spirit veins of the Forsaken Continent disappeared, and the spiritual energy in the air grew thinner and thinner. Just as all cultivators thought that the heritage of the Forsaken Continent would come to an end, the Spirit Abyss Realm came crashing in.
Cracks appeared in the Forsaken Continent, and countless Great Demons emerged from them.
This was a crisis, but it was also an opportunity!
They fought against the Great Demons for a hundred years, driving them back to the Spirit Abyss Realm. It was only through the establishment of many alliances that the Forsaken Continent was able to reach its current state.
Given the circumstances of the Great Yan Prefecture, the Dry Origin Alliance wasn't too far off either.
Floating in the air, Zhang Xuan gazed into the distance.
The Elder Hall, Spirit Gathering Hall, Thousand Faces Hall, War Strategy Hall … The Eight Great Halls were located in the middle of the canyon. They were close to one another, and they were densely packed together. Like a long dragon, they continuously released spiritual energy to nourish the cultivators in the city.
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes, and inscriptions surfaced in his eyes … Delusion Breaker!
The Eight Great Halls of the Great Yan Prefecture Alliance corresponded to the eight points on the Forsaken Continent. The final point was connected to the Immortal Suppression Sect. Would the Eight Great Halls here have a similar structure?
Inscriptions appeared one after another, densely forming a brand new Forsaken Continent.
Just like the Great Yan Prefecture, if the Eight Great Halls were connected together to form a long dragon, then … the location of the Dragon Ball would be hundreds of thousands of miles away from here.
"There's no need to look. It's in the Immortal Suppression Sect! Back then, Master Lin Xuan used my power to build it … "
Just as he was calculating the direction and position of the Immortal Suppression Sect, a voice transmission sounded in his ears.
The Forsaken Continent's Small Seal!
"Is there something special about the Immortal Suppression Sect?" Su Yin transmitted his voice.
After leaving the Spirit Abyss, he took out the Forsaken Continent's Sealing Stone and carried it with him.
An immortal artifact could change its size and shape at will. At this time, in the eyes of outsiders, it was just a pendant hanging around his neck. It didn't resemble the so-called Forsaken Continent's Sealing Stone at all.
"I don't know … My consciousness seemed to have suffered a huge injury. When I woke up, I couldn't remember a lot of things. I only know that back then, Master Lin Xuan not only built the Gan Origin Alliance's forbidden network, but also the other seven provinces. The location of the dragon balls is all aimed at the Zhen Immortal Sect …"
The Sealing Stone explained, "I don't know what their purpose is and why they are doing this, but I'm sure it has something to do with the Spiritual Vein …"
"Spirit vein?"
Su Yin frowned and asked a few more questions. Seeing that the other party couldn't say anything, he could only stop.
Although he didn't know either, he was sure that it had something to do with the Forbidden Lands!
At this point, Zhang Xuan finally understood that the 36 Fragmented Spirits of the Forbidden Land had comprehended 36 different occupations to their very limits. How could they possibly be simple?
To sustain it for ten thousand years … Even without sufficient strength, it was impossible to achieve such a feat!
And all of this might have something to do with these seals.
However, even if they returned to the Forbidden Lands, those Fragmented Spirits would pretend to be dead and refuse to say anything. Zhang Xuan could only think of a way to find the answer himself.
Shaking his head, Su Yin suppressed these thoughts in his heart. He looked at the girl not far away and asked with a smile, "By the way, is there a long-distance communication formation here? I want to send a message to my family and tell them that I'm fine and that they don't have to worry! "
Ordinary Communication Jade Talismans could only send messages for a limited distance. It was already heaven-defying to send messages back to the Great Yan Province without the support of a formation.
"I'll take you to the Communication Tower. There's a long-distance communication formation there. Usually, we rely on this thing to contact the sects and alliances of the Nine Provinces …"
Gu Ling 'er nodded.
The Gan Origin Alliance was at the center of the entire continent. Once an order was passed down, it would go through this Communication Tower. It was because of this that Qian Qi and the others could arrive here so quickly.
The Communication Tower was located on top of a mountain outside the city. It was nineteen stories tall, and it was made of some kind of material. Under the sunlight, it shone brilliantly.
"This is a specially forged artifact. It's constructed from hundreds of thousands of small pieces, and every single one of them is inscribed with formation inscriptions. Once activated, it'll tear apart space and transmit a message accurately …"
Gu Ling 'er explained.
Su Yin took a closer look at the structure before him. It bore some resemblance to the Eiffel Tower in his previous life. From afar, it looked like a single entity, but upon closer inspection, he could see that it was made up of countless small pieces. Every single piece was inscribed with unique inscriptions that were extremely similar to the inscriptions on the Communication Jade Talismans.
With a single glance, Zhang Xuan came to a realization.
To put it simply, it was a signal amplifier.
Previously, when he used the Communication Jade Talisman, he could only send a message ten thousand li away, and the other party wouldn't be able to receive it. However, with so many formation inscriptions and the Communication Tower, even a million li wouldn't be a problem.
Previously, Zhang Xuan was still thinking that if the Communication Tower was easy to construct, he could make one for himself and carry it around with him. However, from the looks of it now, it seemed like he should just forget about it.
Just the components of the Communication Tower would take a long time to construct. Needless to say, it would be even more difficult to fit them together perfectly.
"I am Gu Ling 'er of the Dry Origin Alliance. May I borrow your Communication Tower?"
Gu Ling 'er walked up to the Communication Tower and flicked her wrist, and a token flew over.
"Elder Ling 'er, please enter."
A middle-aged man walked up to Gu Ling 'er and bowed respectfully.
Gu Ling 'er replied with a smile before following the middle-aged man into the Communication Tower.
In order to lure out the spies of the Great Demon Tribe, she had to do it in a high-profile manner. Revealing her identity without any hesitation was the first step. As long as the Great Demon Tribe wasn't weak, it shouldn't take long for them to receive the news and make a decision.
"Elder Ling 'er?" Su Yin was perplexed.
"Upon reaching Pseudo Immortal realm, one will automatically become an elder of the Dry Origin Alliance. Since Miss Ling 'er is the direct disciple of the head of the Elder Council, it's only natural for her to become an elder!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was unaware of the matter, Qian Qi explained.
Su Yin widened his eyes in realization.
At the center of the hall floated a massive jade token. There were unique inscriptions inscribed on it, and the ripples emanating from it complemented the entire Communication Tower. It emanated an oppressive aura.
"Place your Communication Jade Token on it and input the content. It'll send your message to the place you want to send it to, and you'll be able to receive a response from the other party very quickly!"
The middle-aged man explained with a smile.
Su Yin nodded. He took out a jade token and pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll send it to Xiao Wu then!"
The others weren't reliable, but Xiao Wu was still rather obedient. He was the most suitable person to send a message to.
Tell him that he was safe and unharmed in Dry Origin City. If they were free, they could come over to look for him.
After writing the message, Zhang Xuan tapped lightly on the jade token. Weng! The jade token buzzed lightly, and a ray of light flowed along the jade token to the bottom of the Communication Tower. Following which, it swiftly spread upward, and in the blink of an eye, a resounding buzz echoed in the air before disappearing from Zhang Xuan's sight.
Diarrhea … Even later … My apologies!
