Almost all of Mingyun Cave's troops were dispatched to the direction pointed out by Crocodile, where they were constantly searching for any abnormalities.

But Baishui Family doesn't know much about the situation in the outside world. He just knows that he is not suitable to show up outside now, and no one dares to bet on the one in ten thousand chance.

Fortunately, in the previous development, Baishui Family has opened up a large number of food acquisition areas in this underground space, including planting and breeding. However, those plantings are still mainly based on crops that require less sunlight, and at the same time, a small amount of crops with high sunlight requirements are planted. These are the successors who contain the blood of Origin Law of Wood.

Often, Baishui Family people go out at times when animals would not go out, such as during extremely bad weather. They take advantage of these times to obtain some supplies and bring them back to the underground space.

Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for both sides to meet.

Even the team led by Crocodile searched the top of the Baishui Family's head, but failed to find them.

The entire search lasted for more than ten years and reached the boundaries of other forces. Without any discovery, Mingyun Cave also temporarily gave up the plan of large-scale search, and only sent Beast Race to conduct sporadic inspections from time to time.

In this way, the two sides lived in peace again for thirty years.

This year, Baishui Village, under the deliberate guidance of Lin Chenxing, also gave birth to more than twenty Dharma Image Realm. Including the nearly ten people who entered when Lin Chenxing pretended to enter, there are a total of thirty-seven, three of whom have reached the peak of the Dharma Image Realm, just waiting for the next stage of martial arts practice.

This year, Nine Tribulations Realm was born again. Liliya had successfully survived the second thunder disaster three years ago, and also gained the secrets Lin Chenxing hidden in this <Tribulation Lightning> martial arts.

That is the summary of the very first part of this martial arts book called <Nine Tribulations Lightning Sutra>. If you want to get the full book, you must go to a small island between the Qinghua Continent and Guhua Continent. There is Nine Tribulations Realm on the island. Every time you pass a few levels, you can complete as many layers as possible.

Moreover, she also learned that the time for the Nine Tribulations Realm to be re-opened was approaching, and she had to rush there.

As for how to get to the Nine Tribulations Realm, Lin Chenxing did not give any hints. This was also her first test.

After Liliya explained the situation to all the clan elders, they all agreed. After all, this is a major event that benefits the entire family and cannot be delayed.

Later, Liliya left the family and embarked on the road to the Nine Tribulations Realm.

Lin Chenxing did not follow him. For him, it was just a matter of a moment. He could wait until the time for the Nine Tribulations Realm to turn on went over and observe.

Rather, what is happening here now is much more interesting than going to the Nine Tribulations Realm.

The unexplained disappearance of a village under Mingyun Cave was finally discovered by other forces belonging to Golden Scale Lake, and it was brought to the ears of the big shots in Golden Scale Lake, and investigation and punishment followed.

It is said to be an investigation, but in fact it means giving Mingyun Cave a chance to exonerate themselves, asking them to find a way to create a qualified reason to explain the reason why the village disappeared, or to pay some treasures to make the big problem less serious.

The reason for this regulation is actually because some Beast Races like to use Human Races as food and deliberately rob Human Races in their territory, thus leading to the disappearance of some smaller villages. These situations are tolerated by the upper levels of Beast Races, but are not encouraged.

After all, Human Race plays a big role in the territory of Beast Race. It can at least provide them with sufficient food and some handicrafts. Most Beast Race cannot have the same dexterous hands that can be used at will like Human Race. These are what they lack most.

Therefore, in the eyes of Golden Scale Lake's investigation team, this kind of thing doesn't happen once or twice. At the beginning, everyone was nervous, worried that Human Race's power would be established, but after it happened many times, there was no sense of urgency anymore.

However, how could the force that brought this matter to light allow Mingyun Cave to get rid of this crime? There must be more fire.

After they learned about the direction Mingyun Cave had searched, they directly sent manpower to that area.

What a coincidence is that Liliya had just left at this time and left several signs of rest along the way.

These traces were obviously left by humans, and this matter was reported to the Golden Scale Lake investigation team as evidence. This discovery made the Golden Scale Lake investigation team no longer able to ignore it.

Liliya did not leave alone. He also took two companions who had also reached the Dharma Image Realm martial arts practice <Tribulation Lightning>, the Dharma Image Realm from the Xuan Family who led them, and two followers to the Nine Tribulations Realm.

Therefore, these traces clearly do not belong to one person. If they were just traces of one person, it is possible that Human Race passed by by chance, but the current situation is almost impossible.

After receiving the news, Golden Scale Lake's investigation team immediately launched an end-point investigation of the original location of Baishui Village and the area where human traces were found.

Although decades have passed since Baishui Village moved out, some traces of those hurried moves still exist and are difficult to be covered by the new weeds and shrubs. The traces left by Liliya have a directional problem. Before those traces appeared, there were no traces of human beings.

In the end, they came to the conclusion that the disappearance of the Baishui Village did represent the emergence of a human force, and its supporters were most likely the people from the Xuan Family and Taibai Sect who accidentally migrated here as they learned during the investigation.

There's just one thing, they still haven't discovered the whereabouts of the Baishui Family.

After searching in vain, the investigation team of Golden Scale Lake also accepted that there was nothing they could do to prevent the birth of the new Human Race force. However, as the governor of this area, such a thing cannot be tolerated under their rule.

Golden Scale Lake The final handling of Mingyun Cave was also issued after the investigation team returned to Golden Scale Lake.

A corner of the northwest region of Mingyun Cave is assigned to the force that originally reported Mingyun Cave's negligence. At the same time, Mingyun Cave must send personnel to garrison in every human village and must not leave without permission.

In addition, the taxes and food that Mingyun Cave needs to pay in the next thirty years will be increased by 30%, and some manpower will be transferred to other surrounding forces.

Considering that Mingyun Cave needs to face the attack of the well-hidden Human Race force, the surrounding forces will also fortify some areas within the Mingyun Cave range in the next five hundred years to help Mingyun Cave find and eliminate these Human Race, but the expenses will need to be borne by Mingyun Cave.
