Whoosh!
Xia Ping's figure flashed as he entered the void, rapidly leaving the place.
"What do we do?"
The Burning Legion fiendish demons looked at each other. They didn't know what to do either. Their commander had killed all the demons of the Yaksha army and quickly fled, leaving only the remnants of their army behind.
For a moment, they were all dumbfounded. They looked at each other because things had developed so quickly that they couldn't react.
"There's no other way. We can only run."
A goat-horned fiendish demon said.
"What do you mean? Run? Where can we run to? "
"That's right. The Rock Overlord is furious. We'll die no matter where we run to."
The fiendish demons were helpless. They had a deep fear of overlord demons. They were monsters that they couldn't fight.
"We'll die if we don't run."
The goat-horned fiendish demon said solemnly, "Now that our commander has destroyed the entire Yaksha army, it's equivalent to crippling one of the Rock Overlord's arms. This is a life and death feud. It's unforgivable.
And as members of the Burning Legion, we've been branded by our commander even though we've only known each other for a day. If we return to Rock City now, we'll definitely be torn to pieces by the Rock Overlord. "
It was clear and logical, speaking at the most crucial moment.
"Indeed. We can't overestimate the Overlord's benevolence. If he can't catch our commander, he might vent his anger on us. If that happens, we'll really die."
"I agree with this point. We still have a chance of survival if we run now. If we go back, we'll die."
"That's right. Let's escape somewhere else. We can't return to Rock City."
The fiendish demons of the Burning Legion immediately made a decision to run with Xia Ping.
… …
A day later, the news quickly spread to Rock City and reached the ears of the Rock Overlord.
At this moment, all the high-ranking generals of Rock City had gathered in the Overlord's residence for a high-level meeting.
The Rock Overlord sat on his throne. He looked like a rock on the surface and was extremely calm. However, no one knew just how much rage was hidden beneath that cold exterior.
"I previously sent the Yaksha army and vanguard battalion to deal with the Swamp army for the Underworld stone mine. In the end, I received news that the Yaksha army was completely destroyed, the vanguard battalion fled, and all the Underworld stones were gone. What's going on?"
The Rock Overlord said in a low voice. Its pupils were filled with boundless rage, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment. Countless Fiendish Beasts were terrified.
"Reporting to Sir Overlord."
A demon commander immediately jumped out: "According to the intelligence, the traitor demon is that burning demon. That traitor led the vanguard battalion to rebel and killed the Yaksha Corps Commander Ye Shisan and all the soldiers of the Yaksha Corps. The rest of the demons from the vanguard camp have all deserted and betrayed our Rock City. Please give the order to kill these despicable traitors immediately. "
It was full of righteous indignation.
The Black Lion Demon by the side did not dare to say anything, because it was the one who had brought the Burning Demon here. Now that it had rebelled and caused a huge problem, it was already good enough that the Lord did not hold it responsible, so how could it dare to stand out?
If it angered the lord, it would probably die without a burial.
"Good, very good, very good!"
The Rock Overlord was infuriated, "A puny Burning Demon that came to Rock City for less than a day actually managed to instigate the entire vanguard battalion. Tell me, how did he do it?"
It was very angry, feeling an unprecedented anger. It was basically a bellyful of anger.
Because it had been an Immortal rank lord for so long, there had never been a demon that dared to play around with it like this, even bringing huge losses to its Rock City.
This was a vicious slap to his face in front of so many fiendish demons!
"Sir Overlord, I think that the burning demon was very likely sent by the Swamp Overlord. They might even have purposely leaked the information about the ore vein to eliminate the Yaksha Corps. In the end, they were very successful. Not only did we lose the Yaksha Corps, we even lost the vanguard battalion."
A bull horned demon commander voiced out his guess. He felt that the burning demon might be a subordinate that the Swamp Overlord had secretly sent over. Otherwise, it would not be so coincidental.
"No, I feel that it might not be the Swamp Overlord's scheme."
A poison demon commander jumped out and suggested a different opinion, "Because in this battle, the Swamp Corps seemed to have been completely annihilated. Even the Corps Commander Green Frog Demon died in this battle.
If it was the Swamp Overlord's scheme, it wouldn't be so stupid as to let its trusted general die. This is completely not worth it.
I feel that this might be related to the third Overlord. Perhaps it wants to use this chance to make us fight to the death with the Swamp Overlord, causing a war, then reap the benefits. "
It felt that it might be the third Overlord's scheme.
"Bullshit, why don't you know that this is the Swamp Overlord's ruse. That Green Frog Demon might not even be dead. We only found its head. Who knows if the head is also fake?"
That bull horned demon immediately retorted, still insisting that this was the Swamp Overlord's scheme.
"Do you have a brain? That head clearly belongs to the Green Frog Demon. How can it be fake? Why don't you try and fake it? Even if you are stupid, don't think that other demons are as stupid as you. "
The poison demon commander scolded loudly.
Both demon commanders started scolding each other, arguing endlessly. They all felt that their way of thinking was correct.
"Enough, all of you shut up!"
The Rock Overlord angrily shouted, causing the entire Lord's Mansion to tremble. The air was filled with a terrifying and oppressive aura. Even the void seemed to be creaking.
All the demon commanders immediately shut up. They couldn't continue to anger the Lord, otherwise they would die without a doubt.
"Immediately mobilize all the demons in Rock City. You must find that damned traitor Burning Demon for me."
The Rock Overlord angrily said, "No matter which Lord's scheme it is, no matter which demon dares to plot against us, that Burning Demon that fooled this Lord must die. Even if it escapes to the end of hell, it must be found.
I swear that I will tear it into pieces. No one can betray this Lord and still come out unscathed. I want it to die without a burial place. "
It was extremely angry. A terrifying aura spread out, shaking the entire throne to the point that slight cracks appeared. Even the entire Lord's Mansion had huge cracks, as if the building here was about to be shaken in half.
"Yes, Lord."
The Demon Chieftains obeyed. They knew that the Rock Overlord was truly enraged this time. After being toyed with by the Burning Demons and losing two elite troops, no Overlord would be able to endure such humiliation.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
