Chapter 72 Investigation
Chapter 72 Investigation
For Claudius, all he had to do was survive this beast tide.
He didn't care at all about the countless casualties among his people in his territory.
Claudius avoided battle, and King Baqueer of the Demon Realm immediately abandoned him and continued his search for Qi Yuan.
However, Qi Yuan had already boarded a spaceship and flown out of the range of his innate sense of smell.
Baqueer was spinning around in the sky like a headless fly.
Sometimes it flies east, sometimes it flies west.
Sniffing here and there.
The same applies to the group of demons; they spread out in the sky.
"Strange, what are these demonic beasts looking for?"
Claudius was filled with doubt.
However, he was no longer in the mood to care.
Because the time for the beast tide to begin has arrived, the two immortal beasts, Red Scorpion and Giant Rock, whose territories border each other, have led an endless army of beasts to attack human cities.
Outside the Immortal Royal City, the Red Scorpion and the Giant Rock condensed into an sphere of immortal divine power, continuously bombarding the defensive formation.
With the ancient god's heart gone, the power of his blessing has greatly weakened, and the Immortal Royal City's defense system is on the verge of collapse.
However, Claudius, who had retreated into the city, had gathered almost all the realm lords in the entire realm and were desperately resisting him.
He concentrated all the power of the entire realm to maintain the defense system of the Immortal Royal City.
As for the area outside the Immortal Royal City, they simply ignored it.
As a result, even though the Red Scorpion and the Giant Rock joined forces to attack for a long time, they were still unable to break through the defenses of the Immortal Royal City.
"Baguir, would you be willing to join forces with us?"
"If we conquer this immortal royal city, we are willing to share this entire realm with you!"
Red Scorpion and Giant Rock had long noticed that the ancient god statue in the human realm seemed to have a problem, its power having weakened considerably compared to two hundred years ago.
During the last beast tide, they planned to destroy the Immortal Royal City, but ultimately failed.
If we can bring Ying Yao into the war camp this time, the three immortal gods will join forces and this city will surely fall.
Then they can jointly control the ancient god statue in this realm, raise a group of humans, and harvest the Wind Source Crystals one crop after another, like harvesting leeks.
Although Baqueer was very tempted by Red Scorpion's proposal, a strange obsession in his heart made him only want to kill Qi Yuan first.
Seeing that Baqueel was ignoring them and was just flying around in the sky, occasionally bombarding the void with his immortal divine power.
Both Red Scorpion and Giant Rock found it hard to understand.
"Has this demon beast gone mad?"
"He seems to be looking for something, or someone."
Within the Immortal Royal City, Claudius also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was originally preparing to flee for his life.
He didn't know if he could escape if he faced three immortal-level demonic beasts joining forces.
"Alright! Whatever Ying Yao is looking for, as long as he keeps searching, that's fine."
"Three days. They just need to survive the three-day beast tide outbreak, then they should retreat!"
Claudius was secretly delighted.
"I don't know what the dead brother did to the ancient god statue!"
After this beast tide passes, I won't need to worry about my reputation anymore.
First, clean up the old subordinates and confidants of the eldest brother, then directly capture Hua Ling and search his soul!
My elder brother only saw her before he died; perhaps she knows the real reason!
Two hundred years ago, in order to plot against his elder brother, he secretly joined forces with Red Scorpion and Giant Rock.
He still feels lingering fear when he recalls that battle.
That was the closest he ever came to death.
He felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled his elder brother's resentful eyes before he died and his desperate attack.
At this moment, Qi Yuan observed the actions of the demons through the spaceship's exterior simulation and suddenly realized the truth.
Are they looking for me?
Sense of smell!
They track me by smell!
But I've never seen them before, so why are they searching for me like this?
"Master, based on the information we have, Ying Yao located you by using some special aura on your body."
Ying Yao wouldn't hunt you down for no reason; there must be a mastermind behind it.
According to the information, Yingyao's territory is far from here.
They found this place with remarkable accuracy, undoubtedly by searching for it through this special aura.
Therefore, this special aura was very likely provided by the mastermind behind it all.
It's even possible that he used some means to deliberately leave it on his master.
The mastermind behind this is definitely not a being from the Glory Realm.
Based on the master's movements during this period, the only people who had close contact with him were the Bloodthirsty Marquis, the Silver-Clad Deacon of the Secret Realm, and the Frost Crystal King.
Xiao Jiu analyzed the information.
"The Wrathful Blood Marquis, the Silver-Clad Deacon of the Secret Realm, the Frost Crystal King?"
Qi Yuan was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "You mean one of them is a traitor!"
"Yes! And it's very likely that one of them has already been enslaved by an alien soul!"
Xiao Jiu continued her analysis.
"Among them, King Hanjing is the most suspicious."
"You mean the iced wine he bought me back then?"
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of a hidden mastermind, after all, there are many King-level Immortals guarding the Glory Realm."
"Regardless, I'll inform my senior brother first!"
Qi Yuan made a decision immediately.
He didn't want to entrust his life to someone else.
What if when he emerges from the secret realm, the mastermind discovers he's still alive and reveals himself to kill him?
Although a traitor hidden in the upper echelons of humanity is more valuable than Qi Yuan's life.
Generally speaking, they wouldn't risk exposing themselves by killing him.
But no one can say for sure.
What if the alien race goes mad and is determined to use a hidden traitor to save his life?
He logged into the virtual universe and arrived at the temple of Lord Youhou.
After meeting with Lord Youhou, Qi Yuan explained the situation to him in detail.
"Hmph! These alien races deserve to die!"
When Lord Youhou was enraged, the entire temple was filled with a chilling aura.
"Fortunately, junior brother, you are very capable."
If you are killed, and then the monster dies, then it will become an unsolved case.
"I, humanity, will become a laughingstock!"
Just think, if it were the Nine Swords, they probably wouldn't have escaped the pursuit of the Immortal-level demonic beast either.
Once you are enslaved by your soul before death, then it's all over.
If humanity's most outstanding genius were assassinated by an alien race in a mission secret realm, it would be a disgrace to all humanity, and all races in the universe would laugh at them!
He pondered for a moment and said, "My teacher and I are not in the universe right now. You go back and wait. I'll go find Uncle Chaos."
After Qi Yuan left, the Lord of Youhou arrived at the virtual temple of the Chaos City Lord and recounted the whole story.
"Foreign spies, they really are everywhere!"
The Lord of Chaos thought of his young disciple, Kodi, who was killed because a spy from another race exposed his whereabouts, preventing him from being resurrected.
He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
When the Lord of Chaos City was enraged, the heavens and earth changed color.
