Chapter 700 The Disaster in the Imperial Capital
After packing up the spoils from the East Sea Dragon Palace, Cangnian prepared to lead the team back to the capital.
The situation in Shanghai has been resolved, and Ye Dingjiang has come to coordinate the work. There's nothing more for Cang Nian to do here.
Although there is still an unknown force that killed Ao Hong, Ye Dingjiang has established contact with the survivors in Shanghai using the Imperial Seal, so there is no need to worry.
At this moment, Cang Nian realized that perhaps Ye Dingjiang's visit to Shanghai was also for this reason.
In short, the trip was very fruitful. Not only was the little sable's storage space full, but it also used the space confinement skill to shrink a large number of spoils.
If it weren't for the fact that they had brought too much stuff, Cang Nian would have planned to go to the Yellow Sea Dragon Palace with Ao Tian to plunder it again.
However, before that, we should first transport the spoils from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea back to the capital and store them on the ark.
As for the Yellow Sea Dragon Palace, there's no need to rush.
When these dragons encounter danger, their first thought is to return to their own dragon palace, but they completely disregard the fact that Ao Tian, the Dragon King of the Bohai Sea, can use his dragon bloodline and water veins to search for the dragon palace.
Moreover, without the Dragon King, and without a true dragon to inherit the throne, the Dragon Palace's formation cannot be activated.
This transformed the Dragon Palace from an invincible fortress into a large palace that could only be used for living, offering no protection whatsoever.
Even so, the dragons showed no intention of leaving.
If this is the case at the East Sea Dragon Palace, the same thing is probably true at the Yellow Sea Dragon Palace.
Let's go back to the capital first, put our things away, and then go look for them!
"I wonder if Ye Dingjiang has returned to the capital yet?"
First, he led the team back to Shanghai. Cang Nian looked at the survivors in Shanghai who were carrying out large-scale construction and resuming production, and murmured.
Thinking this through, Cang Nian decided to talk to Ye Dingjiang first, and then go back.
Otherwise, that guy might actually think he went back to kill Qu Yinmei.
After asking around at the survivor base in Shanghai, Cang Nian finally found out where Ye Dingjiang was.
However, just as he was heading towards the temporary administrative office of the Shanghai survivor base, he saw a figure suddenly rise from the building where the administrative office was located!
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Ye Dingjiang.
"Old Ye, I've finished my business here and am preparing to return to the capital. I'm just letting you know now."
Don't say I didn't tell you later...
Cang Nian spoke up casually.
But before he could finish speaking, he noticed that Ye Dingjiang's expression was extremely unpleasant.
Seeing this, Cangnian swallowed back the words he hadn't finished saying.
As the chief of the Dragon Kingdom, Ye Dingjiang has always remained calm even when Mount Tai collapses before his eyes.
Why do you look so upset? What happened?
"Cang Nian! You've returned just in time!"
"Hurry and have Cang Kong take me back to the capital! Quickly!"
However, upon seeing the vast array of powerful warriors from the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom behind Cang Nian, Ye Dingjiang's expression softened slightly, and he spoke rapidly and urgently.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian sensed the atmosphere of a major event and stopped arguing with Ye Dingjiang, quickly asking the question.
"I don't know what happened, but the source of the power of the imperial seal is rapidly decreasing!"
Ye Dingjiang frowned and shook his head.
"The source of willpower is decreasing..."
Cang Nian subconsciously chewed over the sentence once, and then his pupils suddenly dilated!
The source of the power of the Imperial Seal of the State lies in the people with whom it established connections.
Those who have a sense of identity and belonging to the Dragon Kingdom!
If the source of willpower is rapidly decreasing, then there are only two possibilities.
The first type is people who originally felt a sense of belonging and identification with the Dragon Kingdom, but a large number of them betrayed the Dragon Kingdom.
The second group consists of those who felt a sense of belonging and identification with the Dragon Kingdom, who died in large numbers!
The former is impossible if the capital city authorities do not deliberately oppress the people of the Dragon Kingdom, and if there is external enticement.
Then there's only one truth left.
A large number of people are dying in the capital, and the deaths are still ongoing!
"go!"
The thought flashed through his mind like lightning. Cang Nian immediately gave a low shout and ordered Little Sable to lead the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom and Ye Dingjiang to rush towards the capital!
Buzz buzz~!
There is a distance of at least 10,000 kilometers between the capital city and Shanghai, and there is no existing spatial passage.
However, the little sable was already quite proficient in its special ability. Although it had not yet used the stone fragment to purify its spatial power, it would not be too difficult for it to perceive the natural fissures and passages that existed in space and to teleport over long distances.
However, these natural fissures in space are not continuous, and their direction is uncontrollable.
Therefore, the little sable could only lead everyone through natural spatial rifts, constantly jumping and "transferring" to another one.
But the general direction was still towards the capital city in the northwest.
As he traveled, Cang Nian prayed that the disaster that had suddenly broken out in the capital would not affect the Ark.
However, considering that Ye Dingjiang's Imperial Seal could sense whether the person he had established a connection with was alive, then he should also be able to sense the incense offerings he had received from the more than two million lives of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom...
After carefully sensing himself for a moment, Cang Nian discovered that the source of his incense power had not diminished, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But then, he became a little uneasy.
Could it be that the amount of incense offerings I receive is less than that of the Imperial Seal of the State? Perhaps the distance is too great, so it's impossible to judge?
"What exactly happened that caused so many survivors in the capital to die?"
There are currently three peak fifth-order cultivators in the capital: Song Zhiyuan, Li Hongxu, and Abbot Kongheng.
Although Qu Yinmei's evolution level is not high, her actual combat strength can reach the late stage of the fifth rank.
In addition, there are five other senior experts with similar strength to Qu Yinmei.
With so many powerful figures in command, what kind of disaster could possibly prevent them from caring about the lives of the survivors in the capital?
Cang Nian calmed himself down and continued to ponder.
However, without information or clues, it is impossible to speculate based on mere thought.
"We're almost at the spatial passage to the capital!"
However, just as Cangnian was pondering this while being led through the world by the little sable, the little sable said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian couldn't help but admire the little sable's spatial abilities in his heart.
It hasn't been long, but we've already traveled tens of thousands of kilometers!
But after sensing the little sable's spiritual power, it was found that less than half remained.
It seems that without a proper spatial passage, this long journey has taken a heavy toll on the little sable.
There was no other way; the man-made passageway was just like a neat asphalt road.
The natural spatial rifts are all muddy paths, rugged and muddy. The little sable needs to be extremely focused to travel through them, otherwise it may be accidentally caught in the spatial turbulence.
The consumption of the two is naturally vastly different.
"Ok?"
Just then, Cangnian suddenly felt that his various attributes had improved slightly.
