These Giant Spiders which had never left Despair Abyss had all strangely left their nest in full force, and were attacking Hope Town.
Yue Yang frowned.
If not due to deliberate temptation, it was impossible for so many Giant Spiders to leave the Despair Abyss, and it was even more impossible for all of them to hunt for food in Hope Town.
Under the roof, Fatty Hai was as white as a sheet. Wiping his cold sweat, his voice shivered as he spoke. “Falling Cangue Mountain is a scary place that is situated somewhere on a giant island in the middle of the sea. It’s very far from Soaring Dragon Continent and there are many scary monsters living them. It’s also called the Land Abandoned by the Gods, meaning that it is such a desolated place that it was even abandoned by the gods … In Soaring Dragon Continent, there are some extremely evil warriors who have committed the most heinous crimes that have escaped to it, forming a Demonic Palace, whose motto is exclusively to destroy peace and wreak havoc in Soaring Dragon Continent, with the destruction of humanity as its main mission. According to legend, Falling Cangue Mountain is a place that is even scarier than the Demon Abyss. All living things there are corrupted creatures … If anybody were to enter Falling Cangue Mountain, they would be assimilated into the evil spirits there and become unrestrained and corrupted beings!”
“Demonic Palace?” Ye Kong was speechless. He was shocked that Fatty Hai, whose knowledge could not normally measure up to even half of his, actually knew of these secrets which were practically unheard by Ye Kong himself.
“Is there really such a place? How come I have never heard of it?” Yue Bing was still somewhat in disbelief.
“There should be!” Li Qie and Li Ge confirmed this in unison.
When they thought of the madness of the mercenary soldiers, they came to the conclusion that what Fatty Hai said made sense.
Didn’t the mercenary soldiers who looked as if they were on a mad killing spree look a lot like corrupted beings who were assimilated by the evil spirits? For the Golden Ant Eggs, they indiscriminately killed anyone in their sight, no matter whether they were friends, family or close brothers. If it was not due to the influence of the corrupted beings of this Falling Cangue Mountain’s Demonic Palace, the mercenary soldiers would not behave so abnormally.
As for the existence of this Falling Cangue Mountain’s Demonic Palace, Yue Yang was not in the least bit surprised.
For thousands of years, there were numerous kingdoms in the Soaring Dragon Continent which had lost in the war for power, the ones who emerged victorious became kings and the ones who lost became bandits, with numerous adherent elderly persons and youngsters fleeing overseas. It was not surprising that they would form such an organisation to resist the Soaring Dragon Continent. However, that they had such immense power made Yue Yang a little suspicious. If they did not have [Innate] Rankers at their back supporting them, would a bunch of runaways who were defeated by their opponents have such immense strength that could pose a threat to the country of Tian Luo?
Everybody knew that the Tian Luo Kingdom was officially recognised as the strongest empire and its combined might was even above that of Da Xia and Zi Jin Kingdom.
Even compared to Zi Jin Empire whose citizens were war-crazed and revered military strength, Tian Luo was still a level higher.
