“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.
Yue Yang thought back to their previous encounter with Elder Tian Suo in Da Xia Empire’s clinic and the mercenary soldiers’ mad spree today and became even more sure that there were turbulent undercurrents underlying the current Soaring Dragon Continent.
The poisoned soldiers of Da Xia Empire were the first to be targeted, in order to incite disharmony between the relations of Da Xia Empire and the Floating Mist Sect; Now, there is the incident of the Golden Ant Eggs, triggering the mercenary soldiers’ mad spree, even leading to the ten thousand monsters surrounding the town tonight … …
It looked like there was definitely a powerful manipulator behind all these incidents who was pulling the strings.
Without the support of [Innate] Rankers or some powerful sect it was practically impossible to take on empires like Da Xia and Tian Luo!
To extend that thought a little, could it be that the tragic guy’s father, Yue Qiu, who was the Yue Clan’s most promising genius ranker, was actually killed by the Demonic Palace? Could the tragic guy’s rejection of marriage and his suicide by jumping into the river be related to the Demonic Palace as well?
Also, Yi Nan seemed to bear hostility towards the Demonic Palace. It Looked like Wu Yi, Xie Huo and company were people from the Demonic Palace.
Especially Xie Huo who was able to summon forth the Demon King Ha Xin through the blood ritual. If he wasn’t a corrupted being of the Demonic Palace, how would he have so much power?
Basically, there were a lot of issues that were still unclear. There was no truth and there was no answer.
Unless he went to search for and exposed the truth behind these matters … …
“General, the teleportation spell has been interrupted!” A loud gasp of surprise came from the teleportation circle. The flow of people who were continuously appearing from teleportation suddenly came to a halt. A black light pillar mysteriously floated above the teleportation circle, and the teleportation circle had temporarily broken down.
“What happened?” Chaos started to erupt amongst the people who had just teleported out.
“Hurricane Expel Noble Team, immediately return to the capital to request for help.” Old General Ma’s bushy eyebrows locked together even more profoundly as he urgently waved his arm to give his command.
Some of the guards behind him immediately dispersed. All of them raced to about a hundred meters away and opened up their Teleportation Scrolls. On seeing white light emerging prominently below them, the flying-type beasts in the sky immediately swooped downwards. Some of the corrupted beings who rode on the flying-type beasts continued to hide within the darkness and used their crossbows or longbows to shoot a torrent of arrows at these soldiers who were trying to return and ask for help.
Old General Ma swiped his arm and countless soldiers immediately raised their giant shields in a well-trained manner, defendin
