Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 363 Map of Da Lang (First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Using her status, Sun Yanwan went to several official libraries in Dalang and borrowed all the maps, geography books, and even many travelogues that she could find.

Although he wasn't a map expert, he had traveled extensively and had a general understanding of the geography of Da Lang. He had also seen countless modern maps. After several rounds of selection, he pieced together a relatively detailed map of Da Lang.

Sun Yanwan originally had no concept of the territory of Da Lang. When this rough modern map came out, he discovered that there were many blank areas in Da Lang, places that had never been visited since ancient times.

In other words, there are many areas within the territory of Da Lang that have never been explored.

Ningbi Cliff is located in Mount Emei. Mount Emei is not one of the five famous mountains in the world. Sun Yanwan originally thought that Mount Emei would not be too big. However, after unfolding this map, he found that Mount Emei and five or six other mountain ranges, although not among the famous mountains in the world, are quite famous. They vaguely resemble fortresses, surrounding a large area of ​​land. This land is nearly one or two tenths of the territory of Da Lang. If it were all plains, at least forty or fifty cities could be built.

Although these famous mountains are not as famous as Songyang, Tianshan, and Zhoujia Mountain, they still stretch endlessly. Each mountain seems independent, and there are even roads connecting them. However, these roads are winding and only go out of the mountains, not to the back of the mountains.

Sun Yanwan pondered for a moment, then suddenly had an idea, thinking, "This is just a martial arts world. Although the Spirit Realm is strange, it is absolutely impossible for it to accommodate hundreds of people to live and multiply."

“Unless the Spirit Realm is just an entrance leading to a secret realm that no one has discovered, such as this large area of ​​land surrounded by mountains and no one has explored it. Perhaps it is all primeval forest, or perhaps it is still mountains, but perhaps there are plains, arable land, enough to accommodate a sect, or even hundreds or thousands of people living together.”

“I have never heard of the Spirit Realm having the ability to teleport. If the Spirit Realm at Ningbi Cliff is the entrance, then this place must not be too far from the Spirit Realm.”

"No matter how treacherous the terrain or what obstacles I may encounter, with my lightness skill and the aid of the grappling hook, I can navigate through dangers with ease. I don't necessarily have to go through the Ningbi Cliff Spirit Realm."

"Finding these people might not be difficult, but according to Grandmaster Zhou, the Mysterious Embryo Dao Seed can only be forged in the Spirit Realm..."

Sun Yanwan meticulously redrawn the map and summoned a group of students skilled in drawing from the Imperial Academy to make dozens of copies. She sent one copy each to her master, senior brother, and Zhou Shuyou, and the rest to the Tianma Gang, asking them to hire people to supplement the map.

For him, maps should be known to everyone, and should be modified and improved by the collective efforts of many. Private collections are worthless. How could one person possibly travel to every corner of the world? Moreover, it would take too long for one person to perfect a map.

Upon obtaining the map, Zhou Shuyou rushed to the Sun residence, asking with delight, "This map is incredibly detailed. I compared it with all the places I've been in my life, and there are almost no errors. Where did you get such a miraculous object?"

"With this map, finding Ningbi Cliff will be much easier."

Sun Yanwan replied, "This map was drawn by borrowing some geography books. I'm afraid there are still some imperfections. I would like to ask my senior brother to send someone to supplement it. I will also organize people to improve it myself. Once this map is revised, it will be more convenient to travel around the world."

Sun Yanwan had not attended court for the past few days and was unaware that Zhang Qingxi was currently in a state of great distress, looking at countless memorials requesting the court to eliminate the Thirty-Six Friends.

Although the world was in chaos at this time, and even the Tianshan Sect had secretly occupied more than ten cities and there were countless conflicts, it had not yet reached the point of killing officials. Other places were also not peaceful, but what the officials of the Great Lang were most afraid of was the Thirty-Six Friends.

These people acted with impunity, killing indiscriminately. They were highly skilled in martial arts, moving like the wind, and were impossible to capture or suppress. The imperial court had a large army, but did not know where to find them. Ordinary yamen runners and constables were no match for the Thirty-Six Friends. Because of the Tianwu Prison incident, the martial arts sects in various places chose to stand by and watch. Moreover, the Thirty-Six Friends only killed officials and had no conflict with the martial arts sects. These martial arts practitioners did not want to get involved.

Of the nineteen routes in the Great Lang Kingdom, officials in two routes have been almost entirely killed, and these two places are completely out of control. Sun Yanwan brought over a map, but Zhang Qingxi had no interest in looking at it. Instead, he was feeling frustrated and wanted to vent to his second junior brother, so he changed into incognito clothes and left the palace with his men.

Sun Yanwan was delighted to hear that her senior brother had come. Zhang Qingxi, seeing Zhou Shuyou there, said, "Grandmaster Uncle, what brings you here?"

Uncle Zhou said, "Your second junior brother produced a map that is extremely detailed, and I came here specifically to ask him for his opinion."

Zhang Qingxi remembered the map, but he hadn't looked at it yet. He simply said, "Second Junior Brother's talent is unparalleled in Langya. Being able to draw maps is just a minor skill."

Zhou Shuyou unfolded the map and said with great interest, "Look, I've been to these places. According to the map, there are actually shortcuts. I didn't know that there was such a large area behind Mount Emei. It just seems that no one has ever been there before."

After watching for a while, Zhang Qingxi couldn't help but look at the two areas where the officials had been wiped out. A thought struck him, and he said, "Grandmaster Uncle, could you do me a favor?"

"Now there are thirty-six friends roaming the world, slaughtering officials of Da Lang..."

Zhou Shuyou chuckled and said, "I know that too. If it weren't for you, I would also like to kill some officials from Da Lang."

Zhang Qingxi rubbed his head, feeling quite helpless. He knew that this Uncle Zhou was also imprisoned in Tianwu Prison and had no goodwill towards the Zhang family or Da Lang. Originally, he wanted to try to get this grand-uncle to take action and resolve the issue of the Thirty-Six Friends, but now he realized that it would be difficult.

Sun Yanwan, who was standing nearby, suddenly remembered something and thought to herself, "Grandmaster Zhou has the Heavenly Martial Dragon-Trapping Nail on him, and those people may also have restrictions on them. Some of these restrictions might even have been set up by the people of Ningbi Cliff. Since we are going to Ningbi Cliff, why not gather these people together?"

He immediately said, "Senior Brother, why don't I go and meet the Thirty-Six Friends?"

Sun Yanwan has now mastered the transformation of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, making him the number one below the Grandmaster level.

Although the Tianwu Prison holds many martial arts masters, it is extremely rare to find someone like Zhou Shuyou. Sun Yanwan is not afraid. Besides, he is not going to fight against them, but to persuade them. If he cannot persuade them, he will leave. There are few people in the world who can stop him.

When Zhou Shuyou heard that Sun Yanwan was going to meet with the Thirty-Six Friends, he immediately exclaimed, "I'll go with you!"

Zhang Qingxi couldn't help but chuckle. He had asked this grandmaster uncle to deal with the Thirty-Six Friends, and Zhou Shuyou had refused outright. But when Sun Yanwan said she wanted to go, he eagerly went along. Really...

People in this world have different experiences and circumstances.
