CHAPTER 1011 - DETERMINING THE LOCATION OF THE GU LEGION

Four days ended up passing as the collaboration between Wu Hei and the alliance was officially initiated. The exchange and dissemination of information was important and was done properly.

The four patriarchs of the Alliances all got to work and were made aware of the dangers that existed along with the potential locations of Gu Yao. Over the time, Wu Hei knew where the minor plane where the headquarters of the Gu Legion were obviously not and where it could be.

This allowed the alliance to narrow down the areas and with the assistance of Jingming Shang's own investigations through the tracking of goods, they deciphered that there were only three regions where the headquarters of the Gu legion could be hidden.

The Southern part of the continent was directly excluded and this was told by Wu Hei himself as he had a solid reason.

His reason behind that Gu Yao wanted to be as far from the southern region as possible due to the presence of the Sky Precepts sect. Of all the sects, they were the ones with the highest attainments in spatial element and formations.

They could very well figure out if an unknown minor plane was hiding near them with the detection tools they had.

The second major area that they exuded was the Eastern Ming Dynasty. As much as they wanted, the Eastern Ming Dynasty was simply a bit too remote for Gu Yao to control the entire Gu Legion from.

Plus, the Light Harmony sect had already combed the area and even the merchants had shown no suspicious movement of goods there. This excluded it as well.

The first area that they thought was quite likely to hold the headquarters was the Black Dawn Kingdom. Or at least somewhere in its periphery. There were plenty of reports of strange movement of goods there and even Wu Hei had told them that there were several outposts of Gu Legion and even Northern Tribes there.

The Black Dune sect immediately sent out their elders and disciples to the locations that Wu Hei revealed to be taken care of.

The second possible area was the central area of the continent. This place contained deserts, forests and even the volcanic area, making it treacherous for the normal person to tread through.

But it was also that which made it a good place for the headquarter to be hidden. But what gave them the highest suspicion about this place was the fact that this was also the place where several sects used to exist in the past.

Not to mention, many kingdoms too fell in this region and were assimilated into the current existing ones. Lin Mu learned that even the Duan Kingdom from which Duan Ke hailed from was here… or at least used to be.

And since so many powers had perished here, there was a great chance a minor plane could have been existing there for a long time. It could have been missed by the kingdoms and sects all this time and then taken advantage of by Gu Yao as he wouldn't need much effort to use their skill of carving out the world to access it.

Then there was the area that was the most surprising for Lin Mu. It was the eastern edges of the continent. This would be the area where the Kingdom of Shu, the Hong Lin Kingdom, the Ripple Mist sect and the two island nations, along with the Fenlong kingdom existed.

Since the powers here, excluding the Ripple Mist sect, were weaker than most of the continent, they didn't think that there could be a minor plane here. Especially since the Kong plane already existed there.

But then Lin Mu realized that even if there might have been a minor plane there, its presence could have been masked by the Kong plane. From what Wu Hei told, the headquarters were located in a rather small minor plane.

In fact, it was about the same size as that of the Northern Town where Lin Mu was from. Considering that size and the Kong Plane, it was the same as comparing a seed to an entire mountain.

This alarmed all the patriarch and Lin Mu, making them call King Hong immediately to raise their defenses. The Long Cloud sect sent out their people there to search the area and try to find any signs of the minor plane.

But they couldn't do it overtly either, as the sects of the alliance, excluding the Noon grass sect were all under assault by the Zither Wind Alliance.

From all this, Lin Mu and Wu Hei determined that Gu Yao most probably used their method of carving out void and used it to open up access to a minor plane. Though this also made Lin Mu doubtful about whether his suggestion of uprooting the plane from the world would work or not.

Even if the anchor from this world was removed and they were left in the void, there was a chance they survived and used their skills to open up another route into the world.

'I can't let that happen either… Seems like we'll have to totally eliminate them…' Lin Mu thought to himself at the end.

This was the most viable option, and the others agreed with him too.

But this was not the end of the surprises. Wu Hei still had one last one. It was a surprise which could have been missed if not for Wu Hei pulling out a certain document along with hundreds others.

This document was nothing but a portrait of Gu Yao.

"Huh? This is Gu Yao?" Lin Mu said in surprise.

The patriarchs all saw it and were surprised too. Lin Mu had made them a portrait of Gu Yao a long time ago so that they knew who their enemy was, but now it looked to be rather different.

"Yes… he has… changed." Wu Hei replied.

"How? Or why?" Lin Mu asked as he looked at the appearance of Gu Yao on the sheet.

He was now bald and his skin had tanned greatly as well. holds © this.
