Chapter 470 - The Demon King Palace’s Evil Plot
Nangong Wenyan’s words alerted everyone. Only now did Jiang Chen and Nangong Wentian noticed that this was the mountain range they had arrived at the previous time. When they came here previously, although there weren’t many people around, they could still find some, and they could also sense the auras of demons. However, this place seemed unusually quiet right now. Looking ahead, they couldn’t even find a single person.
“Indeed, this isn’t right. There are usually many demons roaming about freely in this mountain range, and all sorts of natural resources can be found here as well. That’s why many people from all sorts of different background usually come here to train, and a lot of merchant groups would also come here to hunt for demons and natural resources. So, why is it so quiet here now?”
Nangong Wentian said.
“Looks like the situation in the Southern Continent is getting more intense. If my guess is correct, a war has already erupted between the Profound River Palace and the Demon King Palace. We need to leave this place quickly and rush to the Profound River Palace.”
Wu Ningzhu said with a serious expression. No matter what kind of unusual situation, it was most likely caused by the war between the two superpowers.
Jiang Chen nodded his head. The reason why he came here was to help the Profound River Palace and the people of the Southern Continent. Although the Profound River Palace and Demon King Palace would eventually go to war, what triggered it this time was actually him killing four of their guardians.
With incredible speed, the group traveled toward the Profound River Palace. In just a brief moment, they had flown past many cities. Some of those cities were once prosperous ones, but they were all in ruins now. They had clearly gone through violent battles.
“Looks like a lot of battles have taken place during this period, many cities have been attacked.”
Nangong Yunfan said, his voice solemn.
After traveling further, they arrived at another city. Black smoke could be seen soaring up into the sky, and flames were raging across the entire city. However, no fights were taking place here. With their experience, they could easily tell that a disastrous battle had just ended here. Although it was now over, it had left this city a scar that could never be healed.
The group anxiously sped up, and they soon arrived above another city. Presented in front of them was a chaotic scene. Corpses of both demons and humans were scattered all over the place, and the entire city was smeared with blood. The air was filled with a pungent smell that could make one throw up.
Cries and screams were lingering by their ears. They saw a corpse of a demon the size of a small mountain, and some human warriors furiously roaring at it, venting their grief. It was a miserable scene, and it caused Han Yan and the few others to remember the scene of those Dimensional Creatures wreaking havoc on the other side of Mount Origin.
“This is Evergreen City, a once prosperous and bustling city. I never thought it could reach such a state. It looks like the war between humans and demons has reached a critical state.”
Nangong Yunfan said with an unsightly expression.
Han Yan and Yan Chenyu were both shocked. In the Saint Origin realm, humans and demons were the two major species, and they were innate rivals. However, in most parts of this world, humans still occupied the dominating position. Take the Eastern Continent as an example, although there are countless demons there, sizeable demon clans were incredibly rare, let alone a superpower consisting only of demons like the Demon King Palace, which was equal in power to the humans’ strongest power.
In this Southern Continent, things were different from what Han Yan and Yan Chenyu had expected. This was a good land for demons to live in, and both humans and demons had their own superpowers in this place. Following the eruption of the war, complete chaos struck the entire Southern Continent.
“Since I, Jiang Chen am here, I will break the social order of this continent. I will annihilate the Demon King Palace and make the humans the only masters of this land.”
Jiang Chen said with an indifferent tone. The reason why he wanted to destroy these demons was simple; he was a human, a real human, and he didn’t want to let these demons brutally slaughter his own kind.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
Six powerful figures flew into the sky above Evergreen City and arrived in front of the group. The leading man was an old man in his fifties, and he was a Mid Combat Soul warrior. The few men behind him were all Combat Soul warriors as well. Two arrogant-looking young men stood between them as well. Being able to reach the Combat Soul realm at such a young age, they deserved to feel proud of themselves.
When the old man saw Wu Ningzhu, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, “Holy Maiden, welcome back. Greetings, Chief Nangong.”
"Elder Xu, what is going on here?"
Wu Ningzhu asked. These men were all from the Profound River Palace, and Wu Ningzhu knew them pretty well. The Old man’s name was Xu Danian, a respectable man from the Profound River Palace. However, his status was still below that of the Holy Maiden.
“After Holy Maiden left, a war erupted between the Profound River Palace and the Demon King Palace, and both parties have suffered many casualties. Under the attacks of the Demon King Palace, all the demons in the different places across this continent started launching attacks against human cities. In just a short period of time, three cities have fallen into their hands. The battle of Evergreen City was also an unexpected event, we came here right after we were informed, and were fortunate enough to suppress the battles.”
Xu Danian said.
“These demons are aggressive and cruel in nature. Because someone killed four of their guardians in the Dancing Sun City, the three demon kings of the Demon King Palace were infuriated. Thus, they declared war against the Profound River Palace, and dragged the entire Southern Continent into complete chaos, causing many innocent lives to be sacrificed.”
[TL: I can’t remember if it has been mentioned yet, but Demon King is basically the demons’ version of Combat King.]
