Because the information needed to be passed up layer by layer, Yang Xi’s message to Norton arrived a little later.
Moreover, he also stated in the information that it was Venerable Storm’s intention to inform Norton.
Naturally, this was so that there would be one more person to bear the wrath of the Red Emperor.
To be honest, Norton was a little dumbfounded when he received this information.
His relationship with Venerable Storm was not harmonious. Because of his wife, Judge Parnese, the two of them would quarrel every time they met.
It was not bad that he did not cause trouble behind his back. He did not believe that Venerable Storm would specially inform him after discovering the geocentric spiritual spring.
Norton placed the report on the table and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.
“Do you want to repair your relationship with me? Or do you have other motives?”
In Ossaide’s culture, pursuing a married woman was not something that violated ethics.
Once Venerable Storm issued a challenge, Norton, as her husband, had to respond.
For example, he could take off his white gloves and throw them on his face.
However, due to the strong opposition of Grand Judge Parnese and the higher-ups of the Hundred Cities Federation, their duel had been put on hold.
However, Venerable Storm had no choice but to leave the core area of the Hundred Cities Federation and live in seclusion in the coastal area.
“Forget it. After all, this matter concerns the Earth Spirit Spring, so it’s worth it to make a wasted trip.”
Norton did not alert anyone and rushed to Light City alone.
He was a day later than the guild leader of the Mercenary Guild.
Yang Xi also used the same method as the Hundred Cities Federation to leave marks along the way so that the expert with the power Upanishad wouldn’t get lost.
Yang Xi and the other three had been circling the sea for three days.
With their speed, they should have found the location of the geocentric spring long ago.
But unexpectedly, the location of the geocentric spiritual spring seemed to be
constantly changing.
Sometimes it was east, sometimes it was south. There was even one time when it was near the island chain of the Chaotic Ocean.
Yang Xi had already planned to make a move.
Fortunately, the geocentric spiritual spring was very tactful. It seemed to be teasing them and began to move to the Southern Continent.
“Red Emperor, is this secret technique of yours fake? It was fine two days ago and kept pointing in one direction. ”
Yang Xi complained.
The Red Emperor was also a little puzzled. However, although such a situation was rare, it was not unheard of.
“According to the recorded information, the geocentric spiritual spring in a few planes will indeed constantly shift its position to prevent others from discovering it. ”
He wasn’t in a hurry, because the arrowhead above the Chaotic Sea Lord’s head was gradually darkening. This meant that the distance between them and the geocentric spring was constantly decreasing.
If there were no mistakes in strategy, it would be fine as long as they continued on their way.
Venerable Storm was actually happy that the longer he waited, the more his injuries would recover, which was more beneficial to him.
For some reason, he had a premonition that something unexpected would happen after he found the spiritual spring.
“I hope this is my illusion.”
Venerable Storm muttered to himself. He rushed forward and caught the Chaotic Sea Lord.
Because the latter had to use a secret technique, the three of them took turns to bring him along the way.
Although the Chaotic Sea Lord didn’t want to be carried by someone in such a shameful manner, in order to save more energy, he closed his eyes and accepted it.
Bone City.
There was more and more dust floating in the sky above the city. A casual wipe on the ground would be filled with white matter.
The two warriors in the banners had a numb expression on their faces.
As time passed, they had roughly guessed what had happened in the City of Bones.
However, they could only watch everything happen. They had no choice but to stand here and become accomplices.
“This kind of thing, to use the native saying, is against the heavens! ”
As Ossaids who were born on Planet Azure, they had complicated feelings for the natives of this plane.
When they were children, they didn’t understand the differences between races.
In his own castle, there would always be a few human friends of similar age playing together.
Unfortunately, as they grew older, the differences in race and class would neatly shatter these fragile friendships.
Even so, this experience had left a seed of empathy in the hearts of the Ossadians who were born in another dimension.
They were fundamentally different from the pure colonists from the Ossaide
Plane.
Plop–
A dirty girl fell to the ground. The long journey had overwhelmed her already skinny body. If she did not replenish her food and water, she would die soon.
Among the human slaves, except for an old woman who squatted down to show concern for her, the others just avoided the girl who had fallen to the ground and continued to move forward numbly.
“Move aside.”
The cold voice of an Ossaide soldier rang out.
The old woman was shocked, but she didn’t dare to resist. She moved aside..
The Ossaids squatted down and checked the slave girl’s condition.
“Bring some water over.”
He said to his companion.
The other Ossaide man shook his head helplessly and threw his water bottle over.
“Why are you doing this? It’s only a matter of time.”
The Osaide soldier crouched down and silently opened the kettle, carefully bringing it to the girl’s side.
The water slowly seeped into the girl’s dry lips, and she began to swallow instinctively.
The expression of the Ossaide soldiers was still cold. “If I don’t do something, I’ll go crazy.”
He looked at the dark crowd and felt suffocated.
“Stay and take care of her. You can leave when she wakes up.”
The Ossaide soldiers carried the girl and placed her under the shed built beside the sentry box.
The old woman looked at the Ossaide soldiers with some doubt. This was the most ” kind ” Ossaide she had ever met. At least they did not use a whip to wake the unconscious girl. “Why? Are you unwilling?”
Hearing the impatience in the other party’s tone, the old woman hurriedly took three steps and stood quietly beside the young girl.
In fact, she was not related to this girl by blood. They had only spoken a few words on the way.
However, she instinctively felt a sense of repulsion towards the final destination. It was good to be able to stay outside the city for a while longer.
“Oh, you.”
The other Ossaidian patted his companion’s shoulder and finally acquiesced to his decision.
Perhaps, everyone wanted peace of mind.
The capital of Bernadotte.
Emperor Bone dismissed the singer, leaving only him and Emperor Lan in the huge palace.
“Third brother has been out for a long time, and there isn’t even a reply. I don’t know what he’s doing. ”
There was no trace of worry in Bone Emperor’s tone. After all, his younger brother’s strength was not weak.
Emperor Lan smiled.” I just received news that Third Brother has appeared in Light City. He really likes to play. He actually hasn’t returned at this critical moment.
Bone Emperor waved his hand and said,” I don’t know what this kid is up to. We’ve followed his plan and carried it out step by step. However, the initiator of his plan is not present. It’s really nerve-racking!””
“Don’t worry, big brother. Although the two of us don’t agree with third brother’s plan, since it has already been implemented, we can only complete it.
Otherwise, all the previous work will be in vain. ”
“Sigh, in order to break through to Tier 5, I had no choice but to use this method. This peck and peck, the gains and losses are difficult to measure! ”
It seemed that the closer he was to the point of breaking through to the fifth step, the more worried he became as a peak fourth step super expert.
Emperor Lan finished the wine and comforted his eldest brother,””Breaking through to the fifth step is a good thing. The days of us three brothers in the Azure Plane will come to an end. ”
“Big Brother, you can’t have this kind of mentality. The gap between Tier 4 and Tier 5 is something that ordinary people won’t be able to touch in their entire lives. Since you’ve come this far, you naturally have to walk down it without hesitation! ”
Bone Emperor looked at his younger brother with a complicated expression. Back then, he had strongly opposed Red Emperor’s plan.
But now that what was done was done, his second brother, who had always been undisciplined, was much more decisive than him.
“Yes, I was indecisive. Those who achieve great things don’t care about trifles!”
Bone Emperor’s eyes gradually became determined. He forced himself to get
rid of those unnecessary emotions and wholeheartedly devoted himself to the
path of breaking through to the fifth step.
“Let’s go to Bone City. It’s almost time to harvest. ”
At the command of Emperor Bone, the soldiers of the Bernadotte Empire roared in the square in front of the palace.
It was as if the entire sky was about to shatter. They also knew that the Bone Emperor they were loyal to was about to become the first Tier 5 powerhouse in this plane!
“The arrow is turning towards the exit again.”
Yang Xi lifted the Chaotic Sea Lord and stopped the two people in front of him.
At this moment, the arrowhead above the Chaotic Ocean Lord’s head was already moving toward the red color, but it had already deviated by nearly 30 degrees.
The Red Emperor and Venerable Storm flew over and looked in the direction of the arrow. Their expressions were a little strange.
Red Emperor was especially stunned.
The arrow was pointing in the direction of the Bernadotte Empire that the three brothers had built!
“How did the geocentric spring end up on the continent?” Venerable Storm asked. ”
As a platinum deacon of the Hundred Cities Federation, it would be risky for him to enter the Bernadotte Empire.
After all, the inland was not like the coastal areas. Once a battle broke out, he might not be able to escape if Emperor Bone and Emperor Lan came to reinforce him.
“If I had known earlier, I would have informed Parniss. With her around, it shouldn’t be a problem to escape. ”
“Are we still going?” Yang Xi asked.”
On the contrary, he was very happy. Who knew how many experts were following the Mercenary Association and the Hundred Cities Federation? If something could really happen in the Bernadotte Empire, it was very likely to provoke an unprecedented war in advance!
The human race would really win.
After all, the enemies were constantly fighting each other, and the humans of the four seas were quietly developing under Yang Xi’s connections.
The Red Emperor’s expression changed. He was already in a dilemma.
In the end, he resolutely flew towards the Bernadotte Empire.
He could only hope that the geocentric spiritual spring would give him some face and change directions again. He could even accept going to the territory of the Hundred Cities Federation.
If he was caught by his two brothers in the empire, it would be extremely embarrassing.
In particular, he had made that plan to help the Bone Emperor break through. Now that there was a better substitute, he, as his younger brother, chose to keep it for himself.
Although the plan had already been implemented when he found this clue, he was still in the wrong.
“Red Emperor, there’s actually something that I’m curious about. The arrowhead above the Chaotic Sea Lord’s head is horizontal, so how do we locate the geocentric spring?”
“If it’s deep underground, wouldn’t we have to do something else?”
Venerable Lord Storm also looked at Red Emperor. After all, he was the same as Yang Xi. He had never been after the geocentric spring, so he naturally did not know the secret method.
The Red Emperor was secretly pleased to be questioned by two Tier 4 experts.
Putting aside the role of Yang Xi as the arbitrator, the Venerable Lord of the Storm had been against him many times in the past. Now that he saw the thirst for knowledge in the eyes of this “enemy”, he naturally enjoyed it.
However, he would not show these emotions on his face. Instead, he said coldly, “After locking onto the location of the spiritual spring on the surface, you can directly activate the secret technique and draw it out from any deep position. ”
“It will only consume some magic power. I might need the two of you to explain. ”
After Yang Xi heard this, he nodded his head thoughtfully.
The Ossaids were quite capable. With the current foundation of the Azure Planet’s human race, they might not even be able to imagine the principle behind it, let alone develop such a treasure-hunting secret technique.
The gap between civilizations could sometimes make one despair.
Fortunately, the human race had Yang Xi, the greatest spy in history. Not only could he stir up trouble within the enemy, but he could also steal intelligence and technology. With his own strength, he had narrowed the gap between the two civilizations.
Unfortunately, the time was not ripe yet. Yang Xi had done so much, but no one knew.
In the following day, the arrowhead above the Chaotic Sea Lord’s head didn’t change direction again. The four of them flew all the way until they finally arrived at the heart of the Bernadotte Empire.
However, as they went deeper, the Red Emperor and Storm Lord’s expressions became worse and worse.
In the end, a city appeared in the distance.
Venerable Storm looked into the distance and saw the name of the city-” Bone
City.”
“Red Emperor, I remember that Bone City is a small city with silk trade as its core, right? Why were there so many slaves all of a sudden?”
The four of them floated in the air. Under their feet were human slaves that were as dense as ants, swarming toward the City of Bones from all directions.
With their eyesight, they could see the shocking cloud of ashes above the City of Bones.
Yang Xi had a bad guess in his heart, but he still asked patiently, “Is there a plague in Bone City? Why did he need to burn so many corpses?”
He felt a little strange. If there was a plague, it shouldn’t have attracted so many humans!
He stared at the Red Emperor, trying to get an answer from him..
