I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

Hidden Peak Mountain sank completely downwards.

This time, it's not a matter of overlapping projections.

Reality has truly been exposed.

Boom—

The ground in the northwest of the capital suddenly extended to both sides.

The distance between the two blockade points, which were originally only a few kilometers apart, has increased rapidly according to satellite positioning.

Three kilometers.

Four kilometers.

Six kilometers.

The numbers are still jumping.

A new river valley suddenly appeared in reality.

The mountain ridge gradually solidified from the air.

Ancient trees, stone steps, palaces, and cliffs all bear traces of two thousand years ago, pressing into the modern terrain.

The highway in the distance is cut in two.

Fortunately, everyone had already evacuated.

Lin Ye was still standing in the crack in the mountain wall, which was more than 20 meters high.

The rescue workers below waved frantically.

"Get down!"

He didn't hesitate.

Secure the rope and rappel down.

My feet had just touched the ground.

The mountain wall behind them trembled again.

The exit we just saw was swallowed up by the entire mountain.

If it's ten seconds later.

The person stayed inside.

Xie Hongyi has already untied the ropes.

But she didn't look outside.

He kept his eyes fixed on the depths of Cangfeng Mountain.

"The sect leader has woken up."

Lin Ye removed the safety buckle.

"I heard you."

"There are still many people."

"I heard it too."

Xie Hongyi finally turned her head.

"You can listen to anything?"

Lin Ye stretched his aching shoulders.

"The noise is so loud, even a deaf person could hear it."

Xie Hongyi's lips twitched slightly.

next second.

The main peak in the distance is now illuminated.

One.

Two paths.

More than a dozen beams of light climbed up the mountain.

The spiritual energy that had just been drawn from inside the mountain has all flowed into the main peak.

The clouds on the mountaintop were suddenly pushed aside.

A huge stone palace that was originally indistinct has now been fully revealed.

then.

A figure appeared.

Not one.

People began to emerge from the stone steps of the mountain gate.

Some people were wearing gray robes.

Some people are carrying swords.

Some people had just woken up and were still unsteady on their feet.

More people stood behind the palace gate.

Densely packed.

The modern lockdown zone fell silent for a moment.

Just moments ago, everyone was facing "a ruin".

just now.

The people in the ruins are alive.

Cheng Fang walked over quickly.

"How much is inside?"

Xie Hongyi said directly:

"There were more than 2,700 people when the mountain was closed."

Cheng Fang paused for a moment.

"All alive?"

"have no idea."

"How many are awake now?"

The forest opened its spiritual hearing.

There's no need to press it deeper.

The aura of those people is rapidly increasing.

"At least eight hundred."

A few seconds later, he changed his mind.

"Nine hundred."

"Still awake."

Cheng Fang's face immediately turned ugly.

An entire sect.

Nearly a thousand ancient cultivators.

And the number is still increasing.

This is something that a single field team from the Seventh Division cannot handle.

Headquarters reacted faster than they did.

Ten seconds later.

The new instructions were delivered directly to the field.

All field operations are prohibited from entering Cangfeng Mountain.

[The blockade line is being expanded outwards.]

The definition of "Abnormal Space Entry" has been removed.

[The Zangfeng Mountain area will be treated as a newly added real-world geographical entity for the time being.]

Lin Ye finished reading the last sentence.

My heart skipped a beat.

The definition has changed.

From the secret realm.

It has become a reality.

This step is more important than the mountain falling down.

It means starting now.

This is not a "go in and explore" place.

It is a truly new area that has emerged next to the capital.

There are still people who survived from more than two thousand years ago inside.

Xie Hongyi also saw the translation on the terminal.

She stared at the words "Add Real-World Geographic Entities" for a while.

"so."

"Is Cangfeng Mountain now considered your territory?"

Cheng Fang did not rush to answer.

This is a problem that he can no longer decide.

Lin Ye spoke first.

"First, let's calculate the location of this world."

Xie Hongyi looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"It means you're back."

Lin Ye pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

"It hasn't disappeared here either."

Xie Hongyi understood.

Two eras collided.

No one can pretend that another doesn't exist.

Just then.

A sword light suddenly rose from the direction of the main peak.

No attack.

It just hangs in mid-air.

Followed by.

An elderly man with white hair stepped out of the air.

step.

Two steps.

It lands on the highest stone step in front of the mountain gate.

Gunshots rang out immediately.

Xie Hongyi's expression changed.

"Don't do it!"

She walked directly out of the blockade queue.

The old man's gaze also fell upon it at the same time.

They were several hundred meters apart.

He looked at modern vehicles first.

Drones.

light.

arms.

Finally, I saw Xie Hongyi.

Stop.

"Red dress".

Only two words.

Xie Hongyi's shoulders, which had been tense, suddenly relaxed.

She opened her mouth.

The voice was much lower than usual.

"metropolitan."

The old man didn't say anything more.

His gaze passed over her.

Looking out over the mountains.

High-rise buildings.

highway.

Helicopter.

The lights of the entire capital city in the distance.

Looked for a long time.

Only then did I ask:

"What year is it now?"

This time, no one interrupted.

Lin Ye stood behind.

For some reason, I remembered that Gu Chongshan asked the same question when he first came out.

It was just Gu Chongshan alone.

Behind the old man in front of us.

An entire sect stood there.

The staff quickly submitted the information on the timeline, dynastic changes, and the most basic information about the modern nation.

The old man listened.

There was no dramatic reaction on his face.

He only glanced down at the stone steps beneath his feet.

"More than two thousand one hundred years..."

He repeated it softly.

Then look up.

Who is in charge of this area?

coming.

Almost simultaneously, a notification from headquarters popped up on Cheng Fang's terminal.

[Only confirm the current situation.]

[No commitment is made regarding land, autonomy, judicial immunity, or ownership of resources.]

Cheng Fang stepped forward.

"This area falls under the administrative jurisdiction of the capital city."

The old man's gaze fell on him.

"This was Zangfeng Mountain before it was closed to the public."

Cheng Fangdao:

That was more than two thousand years ago.

The scene fell silent.

There was no tense standoff.

But everyone knows it.

The real troublesome thing.

Only now.

Xie Hongyi stood between the two sides.

On one side is her sect from two thousand years ago.

On one side was the person who had just brought her out of the sword tomb.

She didn't say anything.

Lin Ye suddenly felt something.

This scene is even more difficult to handle than the previous one with a thousand swords pressing down.

The sword formation can also explode.

No, that's not possible.

Just as headquarters was preparing to send a higher-level manager to take over.

The on-site technician suddenly exclaimed:

"etc!"

Everyone turned their heads.

He stared intently at the satellite map.

"The new area is still expanding!"

Cheng Fang frowned.

"Is the situation at Cangfeng Mountain still unstable?"

"No."

The technician zoomed in on the map.

"Not here."

on the screen.

It is thousands of kilometers away from the capital.

Southwest direction.

Another large area is emerging from the blank space.

It's not a mountain.

It is a whole cluster of ancient cities.

Moreover, the first batch of aerial footage has already been transmitted back.

On the city wall.

someone.

on the street.

There are also people.

The number is definitely not in the hundreds.

There are tens of thousands.

Lin Ye looked at the picture.

The Zangfeng Mountain, which we just landed on, suddenly didn't seem so big.

The true return to the boundary.

it has started.
