Guo Chen, Shen Xuan, Ling Yunhao, and Guan Ying successively boarded the back of Tianxiao Cang Yuhuang, and then said goodbye to Ling Xu and embarked on a journey to the east of the mainland.

Ling Xu watched a few people leave, returned to the cave, and continued to rest, but there was no one to protect him, he couldn't sleep peacefully, so he could only close his eyes and recuperate.

On the back of Tianxiao Cang Yuhuang, Guan Ying turned to Guo Chen and asked, "Where are we going to go first?"

He immediately opened the scroll boundary, took out the old map from it, handed it to Guan Ying, and said, "Roughly follow the route of this map, I have already changed it." ”

On the Skymark ship, he had already changed the map so that he could make the most of his time now, and he also took into account Guan Ying's situation and guaranteed to stay near the forest every time.

Guan Ying took the map, looked at it carefully, and then returned it to Guo Chen, and he turned into blue light, integrated into the body of Tianxiao Cang Yuhuang, and began to control its movement.

Guo Chen took back the map, and it was not included in the volume realm, it is better to destroy this thing as soon as possible, in case someone steals it or what, the consequences are unimaginable.

So he took out the Bihong Spirit Sword and directly destroyed the map, because it was flying at high speed, so the burning map had even been blown away from the ashes, leaving nothing behind.

At the same time, everyone who had just left the secret realm of Lindao and returned to the imperial family had already heard about the attack on the imperial city, and the two sisters Jiang Ling and Jiang Xueyan, as well as Ning Zhi, were all brought to Jiang Hanhai.

Retrieving his daughter, who had been missing for half a year, although Jiang Hanhai wanted to reminisce about the past, he still put official affairs in front of him and began to ask a few people about the secret realm of Lindao this time.

"In this way, the evil alliance should have no extra forces to launch an attack on the imperial city, so who will attack us?"

Jiang Hanhai was actually asking Jiang Ling, Jiang Ling was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and Jiang Hanhai often asked him to discuss problems that could not be solved.

"The Spirit Cloud Sect is very suspicious, this time there are very few people they sent to the secret realm of Lin Island, and there are no people who are too strong, will it be ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Xueyan's sneer, Jiang Hanhai, Ning Yuan, Jiang Ling and Ning Zhi, and the eyes of the four people present all fell on her.

"Xueyan, do you think there's something wrong with what your brother said?"

In fact, Jiang Hanhai just asked casually, he didn't expect his daughter to say anything useful, but after a minute, he felt that he didn't ask in vain.

"Of course not, it's impossible for the Spirit Cloud Sect to attack the Imperial City, they have no reason to attack, and if it was really the attack launched by the Spirit Cloud Sect, I'm afraid the Imperial City has already been breached, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the four people present were dumbfounded, is this still the same Jiang Xueyan half a year ago, and now Ning Yuan is here, isn't this blatantly saying that he can't defend the imperial city?

"I think it's more likely to be in the Nine Star Academy, don't believe it, although there are a lot of people they sent over, but there are also a lot of old monsters in the Nine Star Academy, I wonder if Uncle Ning has heard of Cao Pu?"

"Elder Cao, he is the first elder of the Nine Star Academy, I haven't heard from him in the last thirty years, he should have passed away, where did you hear about him?"

Ning Yuan had really heard of this name, he had also studied at the Nine Star Academy before, and Cao Pu was still the director of the Nine Star Academy at that time.

"He's still alive and well, I wonder if you know his style?"

Jiang Xueyan said this, obviously she knew something, Ning Yuan recalled carefully, and the other three people present could only wait.

"Hearing you say that, I think about it, Elder Cao used to like to do some strange things, but the end result seems to be very good. ”

After a long period of thought, Ning Yuan finally thought of the answer, and then everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Xueyan again, waiting for her to continue.

But it's a pity that now Jiang Xueyan has no intention of continuing, she didn't speak, she turned around and left.

The four people present were shocked, because what Jiang Xueyan was doing now was really disrespectful to Jiang Hanhai, even if she was a princess, it was too out of line.

In fact, she also knew that she was not good at doing this, but she still did it, I don't know why, since returning to the royal family, she has been disgusted with the people here.

At this time, in an auction house in the east of the mainland, a rare treasure was carried to the stage by the staff, and the master of ceremonies on the side began to introduce the treasure.

But in a box in the auction room, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a slightly fat figure was watching everything that was happening in the auction room through the one-way glass.

Sitting beside him was a young girl, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and was also dressed luxuriously, looking intently at the treasures in the auction house.

"Do you want this?"

This middle-aged man is a legend in the business world, Luo Wenxiang, who has the most powerful financial resources in the Zhuling Continent, turned his head and asked the girl beside him at this time.

The identity of this girl is not simple, she is the same as Jiang Xueyan, she is also a princess, but she is a princess from the north of the mainland, named Zhang Qian.

Although Zhang Qian is a princess, she is not valued in the northern country of the mainland, and she was sent to Luo Wenxiang's side not long ago to marry his son.

Although they are reluctant to contact the royal family, it is still necessary to contact Luo Wenxiang, the north of the mainland is already short of resources, and if they lose Luo Wenxiang's trade support, they will soon die out by themselves.

Northerners advocate force, unlike the spiritual power of other regions, they pay more attention to the development of the body itself, and a weak girl like Zhang Qian is naturally not valued in the north.

Fortunately, although the strength is not very good, it can be used to curry favor with Luo Wenxiang and support the development of their country.

In a few days, it will be the day of her wedding to Luo Wenxiang's son Luo Hongye, but she is in a very bad mood, so Luo Wenxiang specially took her to the auction house to buy things, relax her heart, and see if she can make her happy.

But this distraction passed in the afternoon, and the two basically didn't talk much throughout the afternoon, until now this spiritual weapon was sent to the stage.

"Yes. ”

A whole afternoon passed, and this was the first time that Zhang Qian clearly expressed that she wanted something, so Luo Wenxiang directly did not hesitate, doubled the price, and directly took this spiritual weapon.

Luo Wenxiang didn't listen to what this thing was just now, anyway, he didn't lack this money, and it was excellent to be able to exchange this spiritual weapon for his daughter-in-law's favor.

Zhang Qian understood very well, it was not an ordinary spiritual weapon, Luo Wenxiang himself had no spiritual power, so he couldn't see that it was an epic spiritual weapon from the north.

But it seems to have been sealed on the cloth, she grew up in the north, and she has seen this thing before, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't be able to see that this thing is actually a treasure.

"When are we going to pick it up?"

Zhang Qian seemed to want to get that thing as soon as possible, and asked Luo Wenxiang anxiously.

"Don't worry, we won't be able to pick it up until the auction is over, let's go ahead and see, maybe there's something else you're interested in." ”

Luo Wenxiang has a kind face, like his son, he also likes Zhang Qian, although he looks no different from an ordinary oriental girl, but he grew up in the north since he was a child, and he has a kind of heroic spirit unique to northerners.

What he values most is this, he thinks that with Zhang Qian's assistance, Luo Hongye will definitely be able to manage his own assets in the future, and he will be able to enjoy Qingfu after a while.

......

Three days had passed, and Guo Chen and the others had already approached the east of the continent, and it would not be long before they could reach their first destination, the ancient ruins of the Nightmare Clan.

It is the ruins left by the Nightmare Clan thousands of years ago, and there is a key to finding the Qi Clan, which is said to be found only by those who have the purple-black Nightmare Pupil.

Guo Chen was the only one with a purple-black Nightmare Pupil for thousands of years, so what they were going to now was the ancient ruins of the Nightmare Clan.

"It's almost there, when we get there, you'll be waiting for us in the nearby forest, we'll be looking for you when we're done, and I'll contact you when we need to find us. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to his left eye, and he had left a mark on the few people present who could be contacted through the Pupil of Nightmares.

Jiang Xueyan was actually among them, and she also tried to contact Guo Chen, but she didn't get a response, because she couldn't respond.

How do you tell her when you get in touch?

In fact, this kind of thing, with Guo Chen's ability, making up a story casually is not a problem at all, but he doesn't know what's going on, he just doesn't want to lie to her.

"No, this is different from what you drew on this map, shouldn't it be a forest, how did it become a city?"

When Guan Ying saw the city in the distance, she immediately lifted her fusion with the Tianxiao Cangyu Phoenix, turned to Guo Chen and asked.

As soon as these words came out, several people were shocked, and they stepped forward one after another, and then they saw that the location marked on the map was indeed a city.

"This seems to be an old town, a new town that was built only a few years ago, and it seems that there was indeed a forest around this area before. ”

Seeing the nearby environment, Ling Yunhao immediately judged the specific location, and pointed out the reason why it was different from the one recorded on the map.

In fact, ten years ago, at least 70% of the land on the Zhuling Continent was occupied by forests, but with the rapid increase in population, the demand for cities increased.

A few years ago, the royal family began to build new cities, and this old city was the first to be built, and the nearby forests must have been cut down.

It's not just this forest, but now the amount of forest on land has been reduced to 40 percent, indicating that nearly half of the forest has been cut down in the process of building new cities.

Ling Xu's map should be a bit old, it is estimated that it was before the construction of the new city, and at that time there was indeed a forest around here, and there was nothing wrong with what was drawn on this map.

"I'm so unlucky, this place has been cut down, where are we going to find the Nightmare Clan's ruins?"

Guan Ying spoke her mind on behalf of the three of them, and as for the rest of the person, it was Guo Chen, whose thoughts were never in sync with them.

"No, that's not a bad thing for us, at least let us know that the Nightmare Clan's ruins can't be above ground. ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they had already reacted, since the ruins of the Nightmare Clan were not found in the process of building the city by the royal family, then of course this ruins could not be on the ground.

The reason why they can be sure is because they have not heard of relevant things, if the ruins are really discovered, it will be a big event, and it will definitely make the whole continent know.

It doesn't matter if they don't know, but since Ling Xu let them come, it means that he hasn't heard of it either, which is enough to show that the royal family hasn't found out.
