Chapter 470
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.
“The Palace Chief has decided to let the Great Elder handle the rescue mission at Nether Mountain, while he holds the Profound River Palace by himself. There is nothing much else we can do.”
Xu Danian let out a long sigh.
“No need to do that. Elder Xu, I need you to return to the Profound River Palace and inform the Palace Chief about this; he and the Great Elder should just stay in the Profound River Palace, and I will bring all those captured geniuses back. Oh, the head of that Lord Nether as well.”
Wu Ningzhu indifferently said. She was going to rescue the hostage and kill Lord Nether at the same time, and her tone made it seem like this near impossible mission would be easy for her.
“What?!”
Xu Danian and the few others cried out in shock and started staring at Wu Ningzhu with looks of disbelief. In their minds, their Holy Maiden was someone cool, elegant and wise, and she would always go about things steadily. So, why did it seem like she was bragging today?
