"Is this the place where Sha Yuan once appeared?"
Suspended in mid-air, Su Lan and Serafina looked down at the dark red soil below.
As far as Su Lan could see, the earth was full of potholes, and in several places, the remains of unknown demons appeared on the surface of the soil.
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying with it the stench of blood mixed with the earth, and even the putrid smell of corpses.
Fortunately, these nauseating smells were blocked by an invisible barrier just before they reached Su Lan.
It was the height of the sun, and the spirits that only appeared at night were now sleeping beneath the earth.
If you come here at night, you will surely encounter a sea of the dead.
At that time, not to mention intermediate-level mages, even high-level mages will face a very high risk of death.
Only high-level mages can move freely in these environments.
"Seraphina, can you find the spatial coordinates of the Abyss?"
Serafina shook her head.
"I'm sorry, Master, this undead space, the Abyss of Fiends, is quite special. It doesn't remain still for long periods of time; instead, it jumps through space every microsecond."
"If we cannot delineate spatial markers, it will be difficult for us to find the spatial trajectory of the Abyss in a short period of time."
Su Lan nodded upon hearing this.
"It's alright, the Abyss of Fiends will reappear, and we can go in then."
"As expected of the former emperor of all ages, the first expert to master all forbidden spells, his mastery of the spatial system may far exceed our imagination."
This is reminiscent of how the ancient king used five forbidden spells to create an imperial tomb that exists in the void.
Furthermore, after so many years of development, the number of spirits in this grave must be dozens or even hundreds of times greater than at the beginning!
After a brief moment of reflection, Su Lan turned her gaze toward the direction of several dilapidated villages not far away.
Weiju Village is a distinctive village outside the ancient capital.
These villages did not set up better fortifications around themselves; they only built simple fences to keep out the undead.
It's as if the dead wouldn't cross this path.
And so far, that has indeed been the case.
Outside the safe zone where hundreds of millions of undead and demons lurk in the ancient capital, the village of Weiju, without a protective array or powerful mages, is still able to maintain a stable population.
To be honest, Su Lan really admired these people.
Living in an environment filled with the dead for generations, it's truly remarkable that they haven't been driven mad.
High in the sky, Su Lan looked at the occasional figures moving about in the several dilapidated villages and said:
"Serafina, what's the Clock Tower Magic Association's opinion on the complete relocation of the dilapidated village?"
The [Alien]Hunter's business spans the entire country, so it's quite normal for them to have a branch in the ancient capital.
However, compared to branches in other cities, the branches established in the ancient capital are stronger, and they are all skilled in speed and light magic.
After all, light magic is a natural counter to undead.
The Alien Hunters haven't had a branch in the ancient capital for long, but many high-ranking members know the terrifying strength behind them.
Therefore, most people are still very polite to the Alien Hunting Grounds.
They were afraid that if the alien girl became unhappy, they would end up losing both their money and their life.
"Most of the young and middle-aged people in the dilapidated village have moved to the outer areas of the ancient capital."
"Some elderly people adhere to the principle of returning to their roots and do not agree with moving away from this land."
Su Lan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
As the saying goes, "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words." Su Lan wouldn't try to persuade someone who wouldn't take the chance to escape.
The rest can be left to the Clock Tower Magic Association.
Su Lan and Serafina toured the area of the Undead Empire before returning to the ancient capital.
...
An ancient capital, a luxurious villa.
At this moment, Ye Chang was sitting on Su Lan's lap, wearing the uniform of a high-ranking member of the Hunter Alliance.
Ye Chang once obtained a special official identity in the ancient capital in order to establish a strategic plan.
Lingxi, a high-ranking elder of the Hunter Alliance in the ancient capital.
In fact, because Lingxi's appearance was made too beautiful when she was designing her identity, she initially received many suitors.
Even today, there are still quite a few super-level mage simps who have designs on Lingxi.
They never imagined that the seemingly aloof and beautiful Elder Lingxi was actually Cardinal Salang of the Black Vatican, who was lurking in the Great Xia.
They never expected that the high and mighty Elder Lingxi would now be sitting in Su Lan's lap, carefully reporting the latest intelligence findings.
"Master, I have discovered traces of Jiuying's subordinates in the ancient capital."
After giving the basic work report, Ye Chang got down to business.
"Nine Infants? What are they doing in the ancient capital?"
Su Lan and Ye Chang originally planned to drag Jiu Ying into the tomb in the ancient capital.
Unexpectedly, the other party was up to no good in the ancient capital.
This is not in the original work.
"They are planning to trigger a massive siege by the undead tide, scheduled for the day Jiuying officially visits the ancient capital."
"I suspect that Jiuying's failure in India has led him to urgently need to gain greater honors and military achievements in preparation for his promotion to the position of Northern Guardian."
As soon as Ye Chang finished speaking, Serafina shared the message.
"Indeed, the other two who are now competing with Jiuying for the position of the Northern Guardian have gained more attention and achievements during this period, while Jiuying has fallen into a passive and backward stage."
"The little mice that Jiuying was hiding in the dark have all shown their true colors and have been marked by us."
"...."
After listening to Ye Chang and Serafina's account, Su Lan sighed at the darkness that Jiuying was about to face.
The sigh wasn't out of pity for Jiuying, but because the storm wasn't fierce enough.
Originally, Su Lan planned to have Ye Chang unleash the hidden tricks she had set up in the ancient capital at a specific time, and then target Jiu Ying, thus maximizing the use of resources.
Unexpectedly, just as their plan was beginning, Jiuying not only actively joined the fray, but even took out an even sharper knife, handed it to the enemy, and arrogantly said:
"Come on, strike my most vulnerable spot! Don't hold back, don't hesitate!"
To be honest, if Su Lan didn't make a big fuss and let Jiu Ying experience what it means to be abandoned by everyone and what it means to be powerless, she would feel sorry for Jiu Ying's enthusiasm in walking into her trap.
So he decided to overturn the original plot and plan a new route.
Upon hearing that Su Lan wanted to scrap the plan and start over, Ye Chang and Serafian were not only not resentful, but became even more interested.
Ye Chang, in particular, has already begun to enthusiastically propose several directions, awaiting Su Lan's decision.
Clearly, Ye Chang was not satisfied with her original plan, and now that Su Lan proposed to overturn it, she felt more free to act.
When the new plan was finalized, Ye Chang gasped as she looked at Su Lan's work.
"Master, can you really 'invite' this person over? Will he follow our instructions?"
"If I could, I would also like to make an appearance and show my presence."
Hearing this, Su Lan did not answer, but only glanced at Ye Chang sideways.
Trying to show your presence in this kind of situation? Are you out of your mind?
