Even the large and medium-sized empires within its sphere of influence, slightly closer to the east, have an ambiguous attitude towards it, often flirting with and making secret inroads with other transnational forces.

Whenever they find a talented youngster with excellent qualifications, they will often send him to a multinational sect in the east for training as soon as possible, while choosing to avoid the Zhenyuan Sect.

Although this situation caused great headaches and resentment to the senior officials of Zhenyuan Sect, due to their relatively limited strength, it has been difficult to completely reverse it.

Over time, this sect could only turn a blind eye and choose to turn a blind eye to certain small actions of its large empires.

Kongyuan Kingdom is not located near the east. On the contrary, its territory is all concentrated on the western edge.

Its subordinate mid-level empire, Guanyun Kingdom, is located at the tip of the western edge.

The senior leaders of the Zhenyuan Sect focused their attention mainly on a few core large empires with better conditions. Over time, the relationship with the marginal powers like Kongyuan Kingdom, which was not very strong, became somewhat alienated.

As for Guanyun Kingdom, a medium-military country under the rule of Kong Yuan Kingdom, they were even more flawless to pay attention to it.

Without the strong pressure from Zhenyuan Sect, Kongyuan Kingdom had no intention of interfering too much with Guanyun Kingdom.

It is just a small and medium-sized country on the western border, and it is also one of the relatively poor conditions among several dependent countries. Not only can it not contribute much benefit to them, but it often asks for various supports.

If it weren't for the indivisibility of the territory, Kong Yuan Kingdom would even want to get rid of this burden.

Twenty thousand years ago, when the western barbarian federation Shatto was at its peak, it looked around and was ambitious to expand eastward.

The sight of those barbarians was the first to focus on Guanyun Kingdom. They visited openly and secretly, and transferred a large amount of various resources. The war became fierce for a while.

When the two parties had the most intensive exchanges, a teleportation array was even built in a secret place in Guanyun Kingdom.

This teleportation array is no ordinary small teleportation array. Its teleportation distance is enough to span the vast mountains and continuous waters between the Eastern Empire and the Western States.

The purpose of the barbarians building this formation was to facilitate the transfer of strong men for support when they expand eastward one day in the future.

But later, differences arose within the barbarians, and internal fighting continued for a long time, and the eastward expansion plan was shelved.

The relationship with Guanyun Kingdom gradually faded, and the exchanges gradually decreased.

However, this teleportation array has always been retained in Guanyun Kingdom and has not been destroyed. It was even protected by the senior officials of Guanyun Kingdom as a backup escape route in case of emergency.

In the afternoon, more than a thousand miles away from the capital of Guanyun Kingdom, there is a stretch of deep mountains.

Several warriors leaned lazily under a towering giant tree, looking at the ordinary-looking hill dozens of feet high opposite, covered with giant vines.

The fire in front of him was crackling and burning brightly. There was a fat golden-tailed spirit sheep on it. The golden fat dripped into the fire and wisps of smoke floated up. The thick aroma lingered under the giant tree.

Scattered and coveted.

Such terrains are everywhere in this deep mountain, and it can even be said that they are too numerous to count.

If there is no one to lead the way, even if you pass by here, you won't notice anything strange.

Once upon a time, their behavior of barbecuing without permission was not only not allowed, it was even considered a serious crime of beheading in violation of the ban!

But now, these people don't have any scruples, and judging from their skillful techniques, it's obvious that they are used to doing such good things.

"Boss, you said the adults in the capital won't forget us, right? In recent years, why haven't even a patrolling general come here?"

"Hehe, I dare say that even if we roll up our stuff and run away, no one will catch up!"

"It seems to have been decades since the last time a military commander came to our place, right?"

"We have low status and average strength, so we don't have much to hope for, but you are different, boss!"

"You were once the youngest centurion under Lieutenant General Liao. If you had stayed in the military camp, you would have become a centurion or even a general ten years ago. What do you mean now? Go to seclusion in the mountains and retire in advance?"

The crowd cut off the golden tail mutton with knives and ate it while venting their frustration.

"There is no way. Although I can only be a captain of ten here, after all, the military orders are like mountains and cannot be disobeyed! But it's okay, my brothers will be happy if they don't come. Otherwise, we will roast the golden-tailed sheep and

I’m afraid even hundreds of lives are not enough to kill the delicacies and game!”

The middle-aged man at the head shook his head and sighed, and joked with a self-deprecating smile.

These ten or so of them are here to guard the teleportation array on the orders of General Guanyun.

Before coming here, I thought it was such a glorious mission. After arriving, I realized that this was a secret mission at all.

Not only must they keep an eye on the teleportation array, but they must not reveal their location or whereabouts, otherwise they will be executed by military law.

However, over the years, they have also realized that this teleportation array is far from as important as mentioned above.

Otherwise, why hasn't a decent official come here to inspect and reward me for decades?

Even if people don't come, it's okay to give some treasures and good resources as a token of comfort, right?

Although this place is located in a primitive barren mountain, it is only about a thousand miles away from the Guanyun Kingdom. To a warrior, this distance is nothing.

But even so, in the past few decades, no official, big or small, has ever expressed his intention to come here, and even the agreed rotation order has been delayed in being issued.

As time went by, one can imagine how the ten-captain felt.

“I don’t know when this kind of day will end?”

An older veteran stretched his body, looked up to the sky and sighed.

Buzz!

A buzzing sound suddenly sounded, and several people were startled!

"What sound?"

"Did you hear wrongly?"

Everyone looked at each other with self-mockery on their faces.

Although they have been stationed here for a long time, they have never heard any abnormal noise. The teleportation array seems to have been abandoned, and the dust on it has not even been cleaned for a long time.

Could it be that the voice just now was a hallucination?

"That's not right!" The middle-aged captain frowned, his eyes shining brightly!

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the hilltop on the opposite side roared loudly, and the ground around him shook violently!

"hiss!"

"No, there's something wrong!"

"It's a teleportation array!"

"Damn it! Why did this death formation suddenly open?"

"Could it be those barbarians..."

Everyone's expressions changed and they were shocked!

It is said that this teleportation array has not been used a few times since it was built. The limited times it was opened were said to have been thousands of years ago.

At this time, why did it suddenly turn on without any warning?

Could it be that His Majesty the King has made some agreement with the barbarians in the West?

If this is really the case, then at least you should be summoned to remind me, right?
