In the Northern Region of Central Plains stood a large city, home to a massive spatial passage that connected the Northwest Continent to the Central Plains.
This place had long been under the Ancient Clan's strict control, guarded by numerous experts. Such a formation had been maintained for several years. However, because the search and arrests in the Northwest Continent were even more intensive, only a Half-Saint led the guards stationed here.
A day earlier, after receiving word, Gu Qingyang had immediately returned to the Central Plains through the spatial passage. Gu Hua, Gu Xing, and the other younger members of the Ancient Clan who had not appeared in the original work had followed afterward.
Xiao Wujiu had extracted all this intelligence from the memories of the Ancient Clan Half-Saint stationed here. Judging the timing, he reckoned it should be about right.
The place where he had teleported into the Central Plains was not far from this massive spatial passage. Even so, a Dou Emperor would still need two or three days to reach it. It seemed Xiao Yan had left the positioning stone only some time after passing through the spatial passage.
As for how he had found this place, the Ancient Clan simply had no intention or need to keep a low profile. Now that this place was under their control, anyone could find out about it with a casual inquiry.
Thus, after arriving in the Central Plains, he had come straight here, forcefully dealt with the Ancient Clan experts guarding the spatial passage, and prepared to intercept the Ancient Clan's prodigies here.
"The news of Gu Jie and the other four Dou Shengs' deaths should already have reached Gu Nanhai and the Ancient Clan members in the Northwest Continent. They will surely become wary because of this.
