The Echo Conch Kingdom and the First Sun kingdom were the only two island kingdoms of the Great Zhou Continent. And they were also the smallest kingdoms in the empire. They were even smaller than the Fenlong kingdom.

The first sun kingdom was located east of the Fenlong kingdom and was a trade ally of them. They two kingdoms were separated by the ocean for about three hundred kilometers. But the Echo conch kingdom was further south from there.

It was over a thousand kilometer away from there and was the smallest kingdom. It also had very little interaction with the rest of the kingdoms, outside of trade. It didn't have that many cultivators either, with the strongest cultivators among them being at the Nascent soul realm.

It was located over five hundred kilometers from the shore and thus had lack of certain resources. It prevented there from many cultivators being born. And since there was also not much land mass, it prevented them from growing crops too.

Their reliance was mostly on the ocean for food.

Even the cultivators depended on the ocean for their supplies of cultivation resources. After all, the aquatic beasts were an excellent source for that. But then there was the issue that fighting aquatic beasts was greatly disadvantageous for human cultivators.

Even if they could fly, there was a great chance they might lose the beast they were fighting once the beast dived deep into the water.

Despite all that, the kingdom had still survived all this time and the people living on it thrived.

Lin Mu never expected that it would be this place that Gu Yao would be hiding in all this time.

"Do you have proof of this? As far as I know, there have been no reports of suspicion about the Echo Conch kingdom. Plus, we would have known if there were any goods being routed there with Echo Conch kingdom being heavily Dependent on exports." Lin Mu said after thinking for a bit.

There was a reason why the alliance had never suspected the two island nations about being the hideout for Gu Yao and the Gu Legion. Since they were tracking the trade routes using merchants, the two island kingdoms would have been detected right away.

After all they had a very specific route of importing to them.

The First Sun kingdom was literally located next to the Fenlong kingdom, thus any anomaly would have been found instantly. All the goods also went through them.

AS for the Echo Conch kingdom, a part of their supplies came from the Fenlong kingdom as well. But a majority came from another kingdom that was located along the coast. It was the Silian Kingdom.

It was a medium sized kingdom and was under the influence of the Long Cloud sect. In fact, the Long cloud sect was located on the border of the Silian kingdom too.
