Looking at the small town under their feet, the Gold Mountain Town, which had been gradually declining, now looked even more desolate. There was not a single person on the streets.
Three Demigod experts landed slowly in the center of the town. Looking at the desolate town, the Demigod expert in the lead, Dinis, said calmly, "There's not a single living thing within a range of ten lis. There's really something wrong."
"Hmph, to think that they would harm a town's commoners, attack government officials, and even attack a Conferred Knight. They're really audacious." Another old man next to him frowned, his eyes filled with fury.
This old man was originally the Sect Leader of a faction. However, as Fang Xingjian made up his mind to unify all the factions in the Empire, and as Tyrande led the East Military Execution Order in a bloodbath, he immediately stood his ground against the opinions of the masses and wiped out the opposition in his faction. He then sensibly joined the Empire's side, and reality proved that his choice was correct.
Thereafter, as Fang Xingjian fought in all directions, slaughtering the plains, suppressing various countries, and even going up against the Holy See of Truth, the Empire's national power grew stronger by the day. The country was strong, and the people were wealthy. Visitors came from all directions, and Fang Xingjian's reputation grew stronger and stronger. His reputation as the Sword Overlord resounded through the clouds.
It could be said that the current Empire was not as powerful as it had been in the past 200 years. Regardless of whether it was the aristocrats or commoners, their living standards had all risen to unprecedented heights.
Moreover, as the Imperial Capital started to popularize the high technological creations that Fang Xingjian had passed down, the Empire would only become stronger and stronger.
In such a flourishing age, the old man had also received a tremendous amount of benefits from the Empire's development. Regardless of whether it was in terms of the clan's abilities or influence, they had all risen. Right now, he was supporting Fang Xingjian and the Empire from the bottom of his heart.
It could be said that he had perfectly transformed from a faction's Sect Leader into a person who benefited from the Empire's rules, as well as a protector.
Right now, knowing that someone was so rebellious as to attack the government and wipe out an entire town's citizens, he was naturally extremely infuriated.
Dinis, who was the leader, waved his hand and said, "Let's go and see if there are any clues left behind."
The three of them circled around the town, but they still did not find a single person. The whole town was extremely quiet, without any chaos. Everything was quietly in place, as if their owner had just left for a short while.
"To be able to kill or abduct so many people in an instant, that person must be at least a Demigod Realm expert," Dennis frowned.
The Demigod elder let out a cold snort and said, "Hmph, it must be those rebellious factions that are causing trouble. These rebels and traitors..."
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind him.
"Are you … looking for me?"
"Who is it?"
"Monster!"
"Be careful!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions rang out, and flames that soared into the sky enveloped the entire town. However, before the town could start burning, surging waves of air followed closely behind, tearing the entire town into pieces.
The golden figure looked at the high temperature and flames that were wreaking havoc around him in a daze and said slowly, "Debrice, is this considered an attack?"
"Run!"
"Don't fight him head-on!"
As a series of intense fighting sounds rang out, the densely-packed thunderous explosions gradually disappeared.
The eyes of the Demigod expert, Dennis, who was in the lead, were filled with horror. His head was covered in blood, and his face was contorted from the agony.
A golden claw reached out from his chest, and it was holding onto his heart.
Dennis' body kept on twisting and struggling, as if he was still trying to recover. However, he was unable to succeed.
He could only stare at the monster that was encompassed by a layer of golden stratum corneum and kept on swinging its thick tail.
Blood kept on spurting out from Dennis' mouth. "The East... The East Military Order won't let you off."
The monster revealed a mocking smile. "I'll be the one who won't let them off."
At the next moment, under Dennis' horrified gaze, the monster opened its mouth at an unbelievable angle and swallowed Dennis' head.
A bone-chilling chewing sound kept on ringing out from the monster's mouth. As the monster swallowed, Dennis' body continued to struggle to recover. Even the head that had been swallowed into the monster's mouth kept on trying hard to regenerate its brain.
Clearly, this Demigod expert had already reached the realm of regenerating his brain. Although he was suffering from serious injuries and had been swallowed, he continued to struggle.
However, to the monster, his struggles only increased the enjoyment of eating. The monster chewed on the pieces of flesh that kept on squirming and regenerating in its mouth. Each time it opened its mouth, Dennis' horrified face that kept on contorting could be seen. The monster smiled and said, "Not bad, Debrice. The humans in this world are very delicious."
Behind it, a monster that was encompassed by a layer of purple stratum corneum and had a tail like the golden monster said respectfully, "It's good that you're satisfied."
If Fang Xingjian were here, he would immediately be able to recognize that this purple monster was the Evil God Tribe's warrior from the evil god summoning ritual.
However, right now, he no longer had the arrogance and arrogance he had during the summoning ritual. He was standing behind the golden monster like a subject.
It was because the hierarchy within the Evil God Tribe was extremely strict. Even if there was a difference of one level between them, the higher-ups would have absolute authority over the lower-ups.
To the Evil God Tribe's warrior, Debrice, this golden monster was an existence that was far above them, an existence that they could never reach.
The golden monster swallowed the remaining half of Dennis' body into its stomach. At the same time, it said with a slight lisp, "Debrice, you said that you've been defeated in this world before? By a person who looks a lot like Li Anping? "
A hint of hatred flashed in Debrice's eyes. "That's right. That guy is called Fang Xingjian. He's a top-notch expert in this world. "However, compared to us, the Evil God Tribe, he's only a mid-tier warrior. "However, he's very good at illusory arts. I was deceived by him …"
"Alright, I'm not concerned about his abilities." The golden monster licked its lips, and its eyes were as cold and cunning as a snake's. "What I'm asking you is, is he very similar to Li Anping?"
Debrice was stunned for a moment before it nodded and said, "That's right."
The golden monster smiled. "Debrice, do you know what this means?"
Debrice shook its head.
The golden monster swayed its tail gently and said slowly, "This means that he's an unrivalled delicacy."
Smiling, the golden monster instructed, "Alright, continue to set up the blood river. After we've completely stabilized the coordinates here, we'll go and have a taste of him. I hope that he won't disappoint me."
Saying this, the monster's face revealed hints of morbid brutality and craziness.
At the sight of the other party's appearance, Debrice could not help but tremble a little as it recalled the various rumors about the other party.
This person was an existence that was viewed as crazy, brutal, and unreasonable even in the Evil God Tribe. It even had a record of devouring its own kind. Even though it was merely standing next to the other party, Debrice felt a chill that came from the bottom of its heart.
