n“Even if we can’t find it, we can still expose all our strength. Everything was on the surface. It all depended on whose spy was more powerful.”

nDetection and counter-detection, this was Yang Chen’s final plan.

nSince he could not succeed by pretending to be weak, he would have to compete with his intelligence network.

nSeeing this, Zhou Tianli could only agree with Chen Yang’s words. At the same time, he prayed in his heart that the Heavenly Dragon Guards must find a place to detain the people.

nIn a dense forest in the Endless Mountains.

nThe Piercing Guard commanded Chen Ying and his subordinates to search for a place to be held.

n“It’s been almost a year. Where is the detention place?”The captain of the Dragon Guards grumbled.

nWhen Chen Ying heard this, he looked at a handsome man in front of him.” Chen Xuan, did you hear something?”

nWhen Chen Xuan heard this, he shook his head with an ugly expression.

nSeeing this, Chen Ying sighed.

nSeveral decades had passed, and Chen Xuan’s strength had already reached the sixth level of Meridian Unsealing.

nWith Chen Xuan’s current strength, he could hear everything within a 50-mile radius by circulating his bloodline.

nNow that they had investigated so many places, they still did not hear the voices of the commoners. Could it be that the Guimo Sect had placed these commoners in the sky?

nWait a minute!

nThinking of this, Chen Ying felt a chill run down his spine, and his hair stood on end. He then turned his head abruptly and looked at the 3,000 feet tall mountain behind him.

nWhen the captain saw Chen Ying’s expression, he looked at the mountain behind him and asked in confusion,”What? Is there something wrong with that mountain?”

nChen Ying did not answer the captain’s question. Instead, he asked,””Captain Chu, 1 would like to ask, if we build a palace on that mountain peak, how feasible is it?”

nAlthough Captain Chu didn’t know why Chen Ying asked this question, he still answered honestly,””This mountain peak is quite big. If the peak is removed, it shouldn’t be a problem to build a few palaces.”

nHearing Captain Chu’s words, Chen Ying estimated the range of the mountain peak and thought,” This mountain peak stretches for hundreds of miles. The narrower part of the peak is only one or two miles.”

n“The widest part is more than ten li.”

n“Moreover, the height of the mountain peaks is quite similar. If the difference is eliminated, we can completely build a city in the sky.”

n“If we use Illusion and Bewilderment Formations to cover it, we can completely hide the floating city.”

n“And when 1 passed by the mountain peak just now, 1 had some doubts. Why would those flying demon beasts avoid this mountain peak?”

n“Could it be that the commoners are really hidden on the mountain peak?”

nThinking of this, Chen Ying looked at Chen Xuan.” Chen Xuan, when you were scouting for information just now, did you check the sky or the ground?”

nChen Xuan shook his head.” No. If it’s a three-dimensional scan, the range of the scan will be reduced.”

n“Why? Commander, do you think that the citizen is hiding underground?”

n“But even if it’s hidden underground, as long as it’s not more than a hundred meters, I can still hear it even though I can’t hear it clearly.”

n“But in fact, I didn’t hear a single sound.”

nWhen Chen Ying heard this, he smiled and patted Chen Xuan’s shoulder.”

nThere’s nothing underground, but what about in the sky?”

n“In the sky?”

nChen Xuan frowned. Following Chen Ying’s gaze, they looked at the mountain peak that stretched for hundreds of miles.” Commander, you mean that they have placed these people on the mountain peak?”

n“That’s right.” Chen Ying smiled and nodded.

nCaptain Chu took a deep breath.” Damn, why didn’t I think of that?””

n“Now that I think about it, it’s indeed possible that he’s hiding on the mountain peak. There’s no time to lose.”

n“No rush!”

nChen Ying stopped Captain Chu and said,””Let us investigate first. After we confirm it, you can go over.”

nAfter saying that, Chen Ying brought Chen Xuan along and the two of them slipped towards the foot of the mountain.

nCaptain Chu also knew that Chen Xuan was special, so he didn’t have any other opinions. He quietly waited for news from the two of them.

nLooking at the mountains and running to death, this phrase was very suitable for anywhere. The mountain peak didn’t seem far, but by the time Chen Ying and Chen Xuan reached the foot of the mountain, an hour had already passed.

nOne had to know that the speed of the two of them was not weaker than ordinary demon generals.

nEven so, they still needed an hour to reach the foot of the mountain. One could imagine how far the mountain was.

nBack to the main topic.

nWhen they reached the foot of the mountain, Chen Ying looked at Chen Xuan. Seeing this, Chen Xuan closed his eyes and activated his bloodline.

nAt the same time, a voice within a 50-mile radius entered Chen Xuan’s ears.

nThen, Chen Xuan controlled his bloodline ability and began to listen for sounds on the mountain peak.

nTime trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, the time it took to brew a cup of tea had passed. Chen Xuan’s ability had already helped him to listen for sounds from the peak.

n“Strange, why is there no sound?”

nJust as Chen Xuan was wondering why there was no sound, he heard footsteps.

nImmediately after, the sound of eating entered Chen Xuan’s ears in an endless stream.

nThis time, Chen Xuan could confirm that there was indeed a city built on the mountain peak.

nChen Xuan immediately withdrew his bloodline ability and looked at Chen Ying.” Commander, I heard the sound of people walking and eating.”

n“It seems that these evil cultivators have very strict control over the upper echelons. They did not make any noise.”

n“This is very normal. After all, there are so many people. If they all make a sound, even those without your bloodline ability will hear it.”

n“Of course, it could also be some kind of sound-isolating array formation. In short, it’s fine as long as we can confirm that there are civilians up there.”Chen Ying laughed.

nChen Xuan also heaved a sigh of relief. For the past half a year, Chen Xuan had been under high pressure.

nWith his gratitude towards the Chen Family, Chen Xuan wished he could immediately find the place to be detained and share the burden of the family head.

nUnfortunately, things did not go as they wished. After more than half a year, the group still came up empty-handed.

nNow that he had finally found the place to be detained, Chen Xuan was relieved.

n“However, such a small place can’t hold so many commoners. I suspect that there are other places to guard.”

nChen Ying sized up the mountain peak and then looked at Chen Xuan.” Chen Xuan, we’ll have to trouble you from now on. We have to investigate the mountain peaks in this area.”

n“Understood!” Chen Xuan nodded with a serious expression.

nImmediately, the two of them returned to where the Dragon Guards were. After speaking to Captain Chu, they split up.

nCaptain Chu and the others were still strolling aimlessly to confuse the Ghost Fiend Sect.

nMeanwhile, Chen Ying and Chen Xuan were searching for the floating city on the mountain peaks.

nIn the royal palace of the capital.

nTime passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, the birthday celebration ceremony of the first ancestor of the royal family officially began.

nIn a square, the Human King sat at the head of the table. On the left were the Zhou Clan’s powerhouses, and on the right were the seventh-rank forces and Chen Yang.

nHuge pillars stood around the square.

nThese pillars were carved with embossed, as if they were telling a story.

nIf someone who was familiar with the history of the Zhou Clan looked at the pillars, they would definitely realize that the content of these embossed was the story of the Zhou Clan dominating the Great Qian Dynasty step by step and finally ruling the Great Qian Dynasty.

nIn the center of the square, there was a statue.

nThis statue was the first ancestor of the royal family to ascend the stage.

nImmediately, under Zhou Tianke’s lead, everyone stood on both sides of Zhou Tianke and bowed to the first statue of the royal family’s ancestor.

nAfter the three salutations, everyone sat down and began to celebrate.

nAs the Human King, Zhou Tianke naturally had to be polite.

nZhou Tianke immediately raised his wine cup and said to everyone,””! thank everyone for coming all the way here to attend the birthday of my royal family’s ancestor.”

n“Once again, I’ll toast everyone!”

nThen, Zhou Tianke finished his glass.

nWhen everyone saw this, they also raised their wine cups and said to Zhou Tianke in unison,””May Your Majesty live as long as the heavens, and may Great Gan prosper!”

nThen, everyone drank their wine.

nSeeing this, Zhou Tianke refilled his wine cup.” Everyone, this second cup of wine. Please join me in giving a toast to the royal family’s ancestor.”

n“Without his protection, the royal family would not be where we are today!”
