Yu Qing Qian had always known that Huo Li Ruo’s purpose in leading her to the Land of Imprisonment was to find the third small pagoda.
Then he’d just wait until she merged them into a key for the two continents, and wait for the opportunity to act.
Gu Yan also thought of this: “But that kid’s still pretty good to you. At least this Thousand Illusions Mask is very precious but he gave it to you just like that, taking into consideration of safety.
“Even if he didn’t lead you here, you would’ve still come to the Land of Imprisonment.”
Yu Qing Qin sighed: “I wonder what it will be like when we meet again.”
Although Huo Li Ruo technically used her, but there was no actual harm or betrayal. After all, he was the first friend she made in this world in the true sense, and his position in her heart was still somewhat different.
“His original body carries half of Huo Li Ruo’s memories, so he must still value you as a friend.” Gu Yan thought for a while, then said: “I just don’t know what his identity is in the Land of Imprisonment.”
“Master, have you checked the memory of the demonic plant to find what major forces there are?”
Yu Qing Qian paused, then asked: “Also, demonic plants occupy the majority of this place, are the main forces controlling the Land of Imprisonment also demonic plants?”
“Although there are fewer humans here, but they still exist as the dominant power. After all, demonic plants can’t compare to the humans’ wisdom and means.”
Gu Yan sorted out the memories of the demonic plant and said: “There are eighteen large cities in the Land of Imprisonment, which are the strongest forces in this place. Twelve of them are dominated by humans, and the City Lords are also humans; six cities are dominated by demonic plants, and advanced-level demonic plants are the City Lords.
“By the way, there’s a top human force called the You Jin Royal Family1, and the human race in those twelve cities are all connected to the royal family; there’s also a top demonic plant force called the You Jin Demonic Clan, and those six cities are connected to the demonic clan.
“This is the information I summarised from the memories of that demonic plant. He’s the kind of demonic plant that does nothing but eat and wait for death. He occupies a mountaintop for pleasure and doesn’t know much about the division of forces and the situation outside.
“Then let’s go to the nearest city to find out the situation.” Yu Qing Qian put on the Thousand Illusions Mask and immediately turned into a handsome man with facial features similar to her own. This was a character she had imagined out of thin air.
The Thousand Illusions Mask had the function of concealing the aura, so now Yu Qing Qian looked just like a male.
Yu Qing Qian called out the golden crow, sat on it, and flew towards the south.
Along the way, they were also intercepted by many demonic plants, but they were all resolved by her little darlings without Yu Qing Qian even having to act, while also obtaining a lot of spiritual items for nourishment.
After entering the Land of Imprisonment, the more than twenty demonic plants were very happy, as if they liked the spiritual force here.
Of course, they liked the game of counter-snatching treasures from the demonic plants that attempted to snatch theirs more, and they had a lot of fun.
While on the road, the other demonic plants were retrieved into Yu Qing Qian’s small pagoda space. She suppressed hers and the golden crow’s cultivation base to Spirit King, so it didn’t attract the attention of major forces or powerhouses.
It took about two days to fly to the nearest city in the south. Yu Qing Qian put the golden crow away outside the city and prepared to enter the city alone.
This city looked very spectacular. Gu Yan judged from the memory of the demonic plant that this was not one of the eighteen cities.
“This is a medium-sized city controlled by the human race. The City Lord is a Spirit Sovereign. That demonic plant occasionally comes into the city to stroll around and buy things, so it’s quite familiar with it.” Gu Yan said.
The demonic plants in the Land of Imprisonment lived humanlike lives, and their living habits were very similar to humans too.
1the ‘you jin’ (幽禁) used here is literally the ‘you jin’ in ‘Land of Imprisonment’ (幽禁之地). I can’t really translate it literally, so I left it as pin’yin. I mean, like, call them the ‘Imprisonment Royal Family’? Sounds a bit weird HAHA Or the Royal Family of Imprisonment? Nahhhh
