Nangong Wenyen's words woke everyone up. Only now did Jiang Chen and Nangong Wentian notice that this mountain range was the same one they landed in the last time they came to the Southern Continent. Although there weren't many people here the last time they came here, there were still quite a few of them, and they could clearly sense the aura of demon beasts. However, today, this place was unusually quiet, and not a single person could be seen.
"It's indeed unusual. This mountain range is filled with demon beasts, and it's filled with natural treasures. That's why many powers come here to train themselves, and many caravans come here to hunt demon beasts and look for natural treasures. But, it's so quiet now."
Nangong Wentian said.
"It looks like the situation in the Southern Continent is getting more and more tense. If I'm not mistaken, the Profound River Palace and the Demon King Palace have started a full-scale war. Let's leave this place as soon as possible and head to the Profound River Palace."
Wu Ningzhu said with a serious expression. Anything unusual in the Southern Continent could be caused by the war between the two superpowers.
Jiang Chen nodded his head. The reason he came here was to help the Profound River Palace and the humans of the Southern Continent. Although the Profound River Palace and the Demon King Palace would start a war sooner or later, the fuse was caused by him killing the four great guardians.
The group flew at an incredible speed toward the Profound River Palace. In just a short period of time, they had already flown past many cities. Some of these cities were once flourishing, but now, they were in ruins. Obviously, they had gone through a great battle.
"It looks like a lot of battles have taken place during this period of time, and many cities have been attacked."
Nangong Yunfan said with a serious tone.
After flying for a while longer, they arrived at a city in front of them. Black smoke could be seen billowing out from the city, and there were flames around it. However, there were no signs of battle. With their eyesight, they could easily tell that this city had just gone through a great battle. Although the battle had ended, the city was badly damaged.
They couldn't help but increase their speed. Very soon, they arrived in the sky above the city. Inside the city, they saw that it was a complete mess. Corpses of demonic beasts and humans were everywhere. Fresh blood covered the entire city, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
As far as the eye could see, there were howls and howls everywhere. Some of the corpses of the demonic beasts were tens of zhang tall, and some were as big as small mountains. There were also human cultivators who were roaring and venting their anger on the corpses. The whole scene was too horrible to look at. It reminded Han Yan and the others of the time when the Dimensional Beasts were wreaking havoc on the other side of Mount Origin.
"This is Evergreen City. It used to be an extremely prosperous capital city. I didn't expect it to be ravaged to such a state. It seems that the war between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan has reached the point where fire and water cannot tolerate each other."
Nangong Yunfan's expression turned extremely unsightly.
Both Han Yan and Yan Chen Yu were shocked. In the Saint Origin Realm, the Human Clan and the Demon Clan were two different species, and they were natural enemies. However, in most of the places, the Human Clan was still the leader. For example, in the Eastern Continent, although there were also many demonic beasts, there were very few powerful Demon Clans, let alone the Demon King Palace, which was powerful enough to fight against the Human Clan.
However, in the Southern Continent, Han Yan and Yan Chen Yu had truly experienced something different. The environment here was more suitable for the demonic beasts to live in. Both the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had their own territories, and once the war broke out, the entire Eastern Continent would be plunged into chaos.
"Since I, Jiang Chen, am here, I will break the order in the Southern Continent. I will destroy the Demon King Palace and let the Human Clan take over this place."
Jiang Chen said with an indifferent tone. The reason why he wanted to deal with the Demon Clan was simple. He was a human, a true member of the Human Clan, and he didn't want to watch the Demon Clan massacre his own people.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
Right at this moment, six powerful figures flew out from Evergreen City and arrived in front of Jiang Chen and the others. The leading man was an old man who looked to be in his fifties. He was a Mid Combat Soul warrior, and the few men behind him were all Combat Soul warriors as well. Among them, there were two young men who looked proud. Being able to break through to the Combat Soul realm at such a young age, they did have the right to be proud.
When the old man saw Wu Ningzhu, he immediately walked up and bowed toward her, "Holy Maiden, you're back. Greetings, Chief Nangong."
"Elder Xu, what's going on here?"
Wu Ningzhu asked. These men were all from the Profound River Palace, and Wu Ningzhu was very familiar with them. The old man's name was Xu Danian, and he was a man of virtue and prestige in the Profound River Palace. However, his status was still lower than her, the Holy Maiden.
"After the Holy Maiden left, the Profound River Palace and the Demon King Palace started a war, and both sides suffered many casualties. Under the control of the Demon King Palace, the Demon King Palace has started a war, and they often attack human cities. During this period of time, three cities have been completely destroyed. The war in Evergreen City happened too suddenly, and we came here as soon as we received the news. Only then did we stop the war."
Xu Danian said.
"The Demon King Palace is a brutal race. Someone killed four of the Demon King Palace's great guardians in the Dancing Sun City, and that completely infuriated the three Demon Kings of the Demon King Palace. That's why they started a war with the Profound River Palace, causing the entire Southern Continent to fall into chaos."
A young genius from the Profound River Palace said. His tone was filled with anger.
"The Demon King Palace is indeed a brutal race, but the Demon King Palace is also a very powerful force. All three Palace Masters are Demon Kings, so it's going to be very difficult to deal with them."
Nangong Yunfan said. However, when he saw Jiang Chen, his tone became much more relaxed. No matter how difficult it was to deal with the three Demon Kings of the Demon King Palace, with Jiang Chen's help, it would be much easier.
"What Chief Nangong said is correct. The Demon King Palace has three Demon Kings, and among them, the Head Palace Master has reached the Second Grade Demon King realm, which is the same as our Palace Master. However, the Profound River Palace only has two Combat King warriors, while the Demon King Palace has three Demon Kings. If we start a war now, it will be very disadvantageous for us. However, if the Demon King Palace really wants to attack the Profound River Palace, with the Profound River Palace's resources, we would be able to use the power of three Combat King warriors. Too bad, the Demon King Palace has used a despicable method."
Xu Danian said angrily.
"Elder Xu, what happened?"
Wu Ningzhu asked.
"During this period of time, the Demon King Palace has been capturing human geniuses from all over the world. Up until now, I'm afraid they have captured more than three hundred human geniuses, including dozens of our Profound River Palace's geniuses. The Third Palace Master, Lord Nether, has announced that he will execute all the human geniuses in the Nether Mountain tomorrow."
The more Xu Danian said, the angrier he became.
Hearing this, the expressions of Wu Ningzhu and the others immediately changed.
"This is a conspiracy!"
Wu Ningzhu said.
"The Saintess is right, this is the Demon King Palace's conspiracy. Their ultimate target is the Profound River Palace, and if it's just a simple battle, the Demon King Palace wouldn't need to capture these human geniuses. With their characters, they would just kill them. The reason why Lord Nether is doing this is to lure the Profound River Palace's people into the Nether Mountain to rescue the human geniuses. If they want to rescue the human geniuses, the Profound River Palace will need to send at least one Combat King warrior, and even then, they might not be able to do it."
Xu Danian said.
"If the Profound River Palace sends a Combat King warrior into the Nether Mountain to rescue the human geniuses, the other two Palace Masters of the Demon King Palace will gather their forces and attack the Profound River Palace. At that point of time, the Profound River Palace will only have one Combat King warrior left, and they won't be able to defend against the Demon King Palace's attack. The Profound River Palace's Profound River Grand Formation requires two Combat King warriors to operate, and with two Combat King warriors operating the Profound River Grand Formation, it will be able to unleash the strength of three Combat King warriors. This is also the reason why the Demon King Palace is afraid of the Profound River Palace, and that's why they are using this method to divide the Profound River Palace's combat strength. If the Profound River Palace rescues the human geniuses, they will kill those few hundred geniuses and boost the morale of the demon clans, which will deal a heavy blow to the human race. At the same time, the Profound River Palace's prestige in the Southern Continent will also suffer a heavy blow.
What an insidious method! "Wu Ningzhu's beautiful eyes emitted a cold glint. The Demon King Palace's plan was extremely insidious, forcing the Profound River Palace to rescue the human geniuses. Those who were captured were all geniuses of the younger generation, and if they were all killed, it would be a great loss to the human race. Not only that, it would also boost the morale of the demon clans, which would be very disadvantageous to the war between the human race and the demon race. And if the Profound River Palace decided to rescue the human geniuses, the other two Demon Kings of the Demon King Palace would launch a full-scale attack on the Profound River Palace.
Therefore, no matter what, Lord Nether's plan was extremely advantageous to the Demon King Palace, and it could even be said to be a deadly move.
After getting angry, the expression on Wu Ningzhu's face gradually calmed down. A faint smile could be seen on her face, and she didn't seem to be nervous at all. If it was before, the Demon King Palace's plan could indeed take the life of the Profound River Palace, and even the entire human race in the Southern Continent would fall into the hands of the demon race. Once the Demon King Palace defeated the Profound River Palace, the entire human race in the Southern Continent would become the demon race's slaves, and the consequences would be unimaginable. To put it bluntly, the human race in the Southern Continent had fallen into a real crisis.
However, that was before. Now that Jiang Chen was here, everything would change. They had to rescue the human geniuses, and the Demon King Palace had to be destroyed.
"What's the Palace Chief's decision?"
Wu Ningzhu asked.
When Xu Danian and the men from the Nangong family heard about the Demon King Palace's conspiracy, but they still remained calm, as if nothing had happened, Xu Danian and the others couldn't help but feel gloomy. At this critical moment, they still didn't know what was going on. They threw a glance at Jiang Chen and the others, but they didn't pay much attention to them.
"The Palace Chief has decided to let the Great Elder go to the Nether Mountain to rescue the human geniuses. He has no choice but to support the Profound River Palace by himself."
Xu Danian let out a sigh.
"There's no need for that. Elder Xu, go back to the Profound River Palace and tell the Palace Chief to let him and the Great Elder protect the Profound River Palace. We'll rescue every single one of the three hundred human geniuses in the Nether Mountain, and we'll also bring back Lord Nether's head."
Wu Ningzhu said with an indifferent tone. She was going to rescue the human geniuses, and she was also going to kill Lord Nether. How could she make such a difficult task sound so easy?
"What?"
