Chapter 1088 Search for Ancestral Qi (2/2)

The great army was also in the mountains, searching carefully as they advanced. Rumbles echoed throughout the entire mountain range.

The day flew by in the blink of an eye.

Hovering high up, Qin Lian assumed an angry countenance because they hadn’t detected the slightest trace of ancestral qi after almost an entire day, let alone the ancestral qi vein.

Mu Youlan, Bian Buji, Han Jinhe and other deputy captains also darted over to Qin Lian's side and shook their heads, indicating that they had found nothing in their areas.

Qin Lian grew increasingly annoyed.

If they were to return empty-handed, the Wanzu Region would no doubt ridicule them. More importantly, it would be a huge blow to the troops’ morale.

“Where’s Zhou Yuan?” Qin Lian asked.

Mu Youlan pointed to the depths of the mountains. ”I saw him go there by himself.”

When Qin Lian heard this, she transformed into a stream of light and sped into the depths. She finally saw Zhou Yuan standing on an ordinary hill after searching in the mountains for a good while, and she immediately landed next to him.

”We have searched the entire day and found nothing.” Qin Lian stared at Zhou Yuan and said helplessly, ”This time we are probably going to return without any harvest.”

But she had no intention of blaming Zhou Yuan, and instead, she said in a comforting voice, “It’s our first time in Guyuan Heaven. We don’t have much experience, so it's not surprising that we made a misjudgment. You don’t need to be upset.”

Zhou Yuan smiled. ”Don't you think this mountain range is too barren? Also, we’ve been searching for half a day, but we haven't found a single ancient beast.”

Qin Lian frowned. “That doesn't mean anything, right?”

Zhou Yuan stamped his feet and lifted his hand into the air. Suddenly, hundreds of shadows swept out and turned into stone pillars. They scattered throughout the area like nails.

“Earth Suppression Pillar? Zhou Yuan, what are you doing?” Qin Lian exclaimed. The Earth Suppression Pillar could only be used after finding the ancestral qi vein. Their function was to suppress the vein and prevent it from escaping.

Could it be—

Qin Lian looked around and then felt more carefully, but she still found no signs of ancestral qi.

”Call everyone here.” Zhou Yuan didn't explain too much and just instructed Qin Lian.

Although confused, Qin Lian didn't ask any more questions. She turned around and left. A moment later, there were countless piercing noises in the distance, and all troops from the Tianyuan Region gathered around the hill where Zhou Yuan was.

However, everyone surveyed the surroundings in bewilderment because they also couldn’t feel anything strange here.

Facing the countless doubtful gazes, Zhou Yuan calmly pointed to an area. “Dig. The ancestral qi vein should be right below there.”
