This city is called Hundred Island City, which is at most equivalent to the level of an attached city. There must also be Thousand Island City, which is equivalent to the main city.
Whether it is Hundred Island City or Thousand Island City, they are all distinguished by numbers such as one, two, three, and four. It is simple, clear, and easy to understand. The key is that it is easy to remember.
His spiritual consciousness scanned it, but there was no familiar breath.
There is a teleportation array in the 300th Island City, which indeed leads to the 16th Thousand Island City.
There are also many dark cultivators in the Sixteenth Thousand Island City.
Not only that, but cultivators from the Dark Continent have also appeared on a large number of desert islands in the East China Sea. They built their own houses, opened up training places, and even went into the sea to catch sea monsters and obtain monster pills and materials for them.
"Well, the Dark Continent has been destroyed. Most of the cultivators have entered Hezhou, and some have moved to Zetian Empire. This makes sense." Zhou Yang thought to himself.
After seven or eight teleportations, Zhou Yang finally arrived at the capital of Ten Thousand Islands.
Everywhere he went, he would scan the entire area with his spiritual consciousness, hoping to find any trace of Ling'er. But alas, it never happened.
At this time, his spiritual consciousness scanned and Liangqiu was not there. He should still be at Shenqi Mountain, serving as his commander-in-chief.
His breath was released slightly, and several figures came out of the Zetian Empire Palace.
"You are..." The leader was a middle-aged man at the peak of False God. He locked eyes with Zhou Yang at a glance.
"I will be there next week, Yang, will your Majesty be here?"
"Zhou, Commander Zhou, oh, Alliance Leader Zhou!" The man was stunned for a moment, and then he bowed hurriedly.
This is the number one cultivator in the Hezhou continent, and judging from his aura, he has most likely entered the realm of God Controlling. How dare he be disrespectful.
Zhou Yang said nothing.
"Oh, His Majesty is in the palace, I will go back and report." The middle-aged man said hurriedly.
"Go ahead." Zhou Yang frowned slightly, but still nodded in agreement.
But at this moment, several figures came from the depths of the palace again.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly bowed slightly.
The leader is none other than the Emperor of Zetian Empire, Ru Tianxia.
"Brother Emperor, this is... looking at Zhou Yang and asking the middle-aged man.
"Fellow Taoist, Zhou Yang, can you come in for a chat?" Before the middle-aged man could answer, Zhou Yang took the initiative to reveal his identity so as not to waste time.
"It turns out it's Alliance Leader Zhou. I'm disrespectful. Please come into the palace!" Ru Tianxia hurriedly clasped his fists and invited Zhou Yang to enter the palace.
As the emperor of a country, commanding hundreds of millions of subjects, his every word and deed would stir up the world. However, at this time, he was so respectful to a young man, which shocked those who followed him.
His eyesight was worse than that of his imperial brother, and he could tell Zhou Yang's level at a glance, at least in the early stage of God Control, or even higher.
Zhou Yang didn't bother to talk about any false etiquette and took the lead in rushing towards the palace.
If he didn't have Liangqiu's relationship and the report, he would have rushed directly into the palace.
"To be honest, many dark cultivators have indeed come to the empire in the past two years. The empire's sea area is too large and there are countless islands, especially desert islands, some of which have not been visited by humans for tens of millions of years."
"So, the empire welcomes the influx of dark cultivators. At least it can develop a large number of islands, which will also be helpful to the empire."
Faced with Zhou Yang's inquiry, Ru Tian told the truth.
Zhou Yang was not concerned about that and directly showed the portraits of Sima Zheng and his daughter.
"This..." Ru Tianzi stared at it for a moment, saying that he had never seen it before.
Several of his masters also shook their heads.
"But don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will spread these portraits throughout the cities and islands, and organize people to search for them carefully." Ru Tianxia added hurriedly when he saw Zhou Yang's expression of concern.
"Have the young geniuses from the superpowers in Hezhou ever been to your country?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"This...should have been here for a while. To be honest, the cultivators in Hezhou and Darkness have a very high regard for themselves. Before the great catastrophe of transformation into mortals, they didn't look down on our Zetian Empire."
Ru Tianxia considered the words and continued: "But since the Dark Continent was robbed, even the most remote islands in the empire are crowded with dark cultivators, and the empire cannot tolerate them."
"Please fellow Taoist people make a list of young geniuses from various sects. It's best to have portraits." Zhou Yang was a little impatient, so he just finished the sentence and closed his eyes to rest.
Ru Tian was stunned, but he didn't dare to be verbose anymore and hurriedly ordered his men to do it.
He cannot bear the anger of a strong man in the God Control realm. This can be proven from the God Control Tribulation two years ago.
It didn't take long before someone presented the list and portrait.
Zhou Yang glanced at the list and found no familiar person, so he couldn't help but frown.
The name can be faked, the face can be disguised, but it's useless.
"Does your country have a teleportation array leading to the City of Nine Netherworlds?" Zhou Yang suddenly asked.
"Yes, yes, but..."
"Where?" Zhou Yang interrupted Ru Tianxia with a wave of his hand and asked directly.
"Here, in the secret place of the palace. Alliance leader, you have entered the Nine Netherworld, but will not come out for a hundred years. Please think twice, Commander-in-Chief!" Ru Tianxia hurriedly explained.
"Have these people on the list ever used your teleportation array to enter the Nine Netherworld?" Zhou Yang asked, waving his hand.
"I borrowed it." Ru Tianxia nodded.
"What are the conditions?"
"Everyone has five hundred thousand divine stones." Ru Tianxia no longer concealed anything and told the truth.
Of course he was talking about the seventh-grade divine stone, but this number is also terrifying, and the real teleportation fee is estimated to be only a few hundred yuan. The Zetian Empire has made a lot of money from this teleportation array alone.
After the Catastrophe of Mortal Transformation, especially after the Nirvana Star Territory Royal God Rebellion, a large number of geniuses entered Jiuyou Ghost City one after another despite the hundred-year ban, which surprised Ru Tianxia at the time.
But after thinking about it, he understood.
After experiencing the catastrophes of transformation and nirvana, the hearts of Hezhou and Darkness were in panic, their industries were in ruins, a large number of virtual god masters were destroyed, and all superpowers were afraid.
Especially the Great Catastrophe of Mortal Transformation, which may wreak havoc on Hezhou at some point, so it can be explained that they hid the geniuses of the younger generation.
The Zetian Empire has not experienced the catastrophe of controlling gods, and is further away from the catastrophe of transformation into mortals, so there is no sense of crisis in the country at all. What's more, just by borrowing the teleportation array, you can receive a huge amount of divine stones, so why not do it.
After understanding it later, the Zetian Empire followed the example of the superpowers and sent some geniuses to the City of Nine Nethers for hiding.
But such a teleportation array is one-way and can only be entered but not exited. It will take a hundred years to figure it out.
"With the tax revenue of Anping City, let alone 500,000 seventh-grade sacred stones, even 50,000 yuan will not be available. Can Ling'er get it?" Zhou Yang thought to himself.
"The City of Jiuyou also belongs to Hezhou, wouldn't the power of transformation affect it?" After a moment, he asked again.
"Oh, Jiuyou is located very deep underground. Although it belongs to Hezhou, it is isolated from the world. Hezhou has not yet been affected, let alone the city of Jiuyou, which is isolated from the world." Ru Tianxia said.
"As far as Taoist friends know, is Jiuyou connected to the outer starry sky?"
"Although there are transmissions from the secret passage, no one has discovered it for many years, so..." Ru Tianxia was not sure either.
Zhou Yang was silent.
It's easy to get in, but it takes a hundred years to get out. Can he afford the wait?
