Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 1363 Takashima Yuki's Discovery

Ye Ge raised his hand and waved it lightly, and two ancient talismans flew out and accurately stuck to both sides of the wall.

The cinnabar patterns on the talisman glowed faintly, quickly unfolding a semi-transparent energy barrier that completely isolated the room from the outside world. It not only blocked sound and sight, but also completely blocked any divine sense probing from the outside.

Looking at Ye Ge's actions, Qu Qu said, "It seems that you have gained quite a lot from your trip to the General's Mansion."

"What did you get?" Xia Xiyao tilted her head and thought for a moment. "It seems alright... I just ate quite a lot of things from the General's Mansion. I'm full though."

Ye Ge smiled and said, "The harvest is indeed quite substantial, but I wonder if it's as much as Xue'er's."

Gao Shenxue's exquisitely beautiful and aloof face remained calm as a still lake, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Xia Xiyao was surprised: "Huh? Xiao Ye, Xue'er, you two both got something? I didn't see you do anything..."

Nangong Qiuyue sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "Ah...you silly Yao, you really are..."

Ye Ge turned to look at Gao Shenxue: "Xue'er, your mechanical bug must have discovered quite a few things, right?"

Gao Shenxue nodded slightly: "Mm."

She opened her fair palm, and a mechanical insect, no bigger than a little fingernail, slowly crawled out from her sleeve. Its six slender metal legs touched her palm lightly, and then it landed gracefully on the floor.

Leng Yue Ning curiously bent down to observe: "What is this?"

Gao Shenxue explained, "This is a Strange Realm Insect. It's a mechanical insect used for reconnaissance and detection."

Nangong Qiuyue suddenly realized: "So, besides deliberately luring the Eight Sword Saints of the Dragon Clan to the General's Mansion today, you also went there to investigate the General's Mansion?"

Lan Feng, who was standing nearby, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

A deliberate seduction? I see...

She suddenly understood. No wonder Ye Ge was at the General's Mansion today, deliberately staying to discuss the upcoming battle with General Cang Ting. Ye Ge had long known that Cang Ting planned to target those around him, but was wary of Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao, three Soul Emperor realm experts. So, she simply decided to play along, coming to the General's Mansion to lure them in! She deliberately created an opportunity for the Eight Sword Saints of the Dragon Clan to go find Mu Jiannan and the others...

It turns out that this was all part of the owner's plan!

Lan Feng's gaze towards Ye Ge was filled with even more admiration.

No wonder General Cang Ting was no match for his master...

Gao Shenxue calmly replied, "You could say that."

"Huh?" An Lingyue said, "But I remember that with Junior Brother Ye Ge's mental strength, it shouldn't be that complicated to discover some secrets of the General's Mansion through his mental vision, right?"

Ye Ge shrugged and explained, "My mental vision isn't outrageous. With my current mental power, I can indeed perceive many things with my divine sense. However, if something is sealed by an array or barrier, or has been subject to restrictions, my vision cannot see through it."

"I see." An Lingyue blinked. "So you mean there are some things in the General's Mansion that are isolated by a barrier and invisible to outsiders?"

“Yes,” Ye Ge said, “but actually, it’s not just in the General’s Mansion.”

"Not just in the General's Mansion?"

"It should be said that it is right beneath our feet."

"???"

Everyone was shocked and instinctively looked at the floor.

"What lies beneath our feet?"

"To be more precise, it's the entire underground of Crimson Dragon City."

Ye Ge paused for a moment, then slowly said, "When I was wandering around the city before, I vaguely sensed that someone had used an array barrier to isolate something underground, preventing my divine sense from detecting things a hundred meters below the surface."

“I initially thought this might be some kind of military secret that the Dragon Clan had hidden underground. But then I asked Senior Sister Ao Xin, and she said that there shouldn’t be such a thing in Crimson Dragon City, so I found it a bit strange. After some investigation, I can confirm that the core of this underground barrier sealing array is in Cang Ting’s General’s Mansion.”

Ququ seemed thoughtful: "So that's how it is..."

Gao Shenxue then chimed in: "My Qijie Insect can precisely locate the weakest point of the barrier while maintaining its integrity. Using its tiny size, it can pass through the gaps in the barrier and explore areas isolated by it."

Jiang Xiaoming gasped, "Wow... technology can create such amazing things? It can even pass through array barriers?" He then looked at the soundproof barrier that Ye Ge had just set up in the room, "Xue'er, if you want, can you use this little bug to pass through the barrier in this room?"

Gao Shenxue explained calmly, "Theoretically, it should be possible. Barriers are essentially energy barriers, but any energy barrier still has density differences. The Qijie Worm uses quantum tunneling and dimensional folding technology to deconstruct the fluctuation frequency of the barrier's energy field. As long as we find the microscopic cracks at the spacetime folds on the Planck scale, theoretically, we can achieve lossless passage..."

Jiang Xiaoming: "......"

"Boom!"

Xia Xiyao raised her hand and tapped Jiang Xiaoming on the head: "Xiaoming, who gave you permission to call me that so affectionately? Although we used to be classmates, are you really that close to Xue'er?"

Jiang Xiaoming rubbed his head with a wronged expression, muttering something unintelligible.

"So," Mu Jiannan looked at Gao Shenxue and asked, "Junior Sister, what exactly did your insects discover?"

Ye Ge turned to look at Gao Shenxue.

Gao Shenxue nodded slightly, then focused intently on controlling her two fingers together.

The mechanical head of the Strange World Insect glowed faintly, projecting a clear holographic image onto the wall.

Li Shuying stared thoughtfully at the projected image: "This is... a topographical map of the entire Crimson Dragon City?"

Gao Shenxue said, "The key point is not the terrain above the city, but the underground." She picked up a small remote control and pressed it again.

The projected topographic map slowly began to change angle.

As the perspective shifted, everyone could clearly see a massive barrier existing beneath Crimson Dragon City.

Below the barrier, countless tiny points of light were densely packed, as dense as a sea of ​​stars.

Xiao Yuxi leaned forward slightly, her eyes filled with doubt: "What are these dense little dots...?"

Gao Shenxue calmly said, "They are insect eggs from the Zerg."

Everyone: "!?!?!"
