They looked down at the small town under their feet. The Gold Mountain Town that had gradually grown dilapidated now appeared even more desolate. There was not even a single person seen on the streets.
The three Demigods slowly landed in the center of the town and looked at this desolate town. Dennis, the Demigod in the lead, said calmly, “There isn’t a single living creature within a range of ten lis. There’s really a problem.”
“Hmph, they are really audacious to dare to harm a town’s commoners, assault government officials, and even attack Conferred Knights.” Another old man at the side frowned as his eyes filled with rage.
This old man had been a faction’s sect master. However, after Fang Xingjian became bent on unifying all the factions across the East Military Execution Order, and with Tyrant leading the East Military Execution Order to sweep through the pugilistic world, the old man had immediately stood up against and eliminated the oppositions in his sect. He then made the smart decision to join the Empire. It turned out that he had made the right choice back then.
Thereafter, Fang Xingjian conquered various countries, killing through the plains and suppressing the various countries. He even stood up against the Church of Universal Truth, with each of them dominating the south and the north in Miracle World respectively. The Empire grew increasingly stronger, the people became wealthier, and the neighboring countries paid tribute to them. Fang Xingjian ‘s reputation rose, and his name as the Sword Overlord soared through the clouds.
It could be said that the current Empire had reached an unprecedented state of prosperity that could not be compared with the past 200 years. Everyone—be it the aristocrats or the commoners—had an unprecedented improvement in their living standards.
Moreover, with the Imperial Capital disseminating Fang Xingjian’s high-technological products, the Empire would only get increasingly prosperous.
Amidst such a great prosperity, the old man had also gotten a tremendous amount of benefits from the Empire’s great developments. His entire clan and faction soared. Right now, he supported Fang Xingjian and the Empire from the bottom of his heart.
It could be said that he had perfectly turned from a faction’s sect master into someone who both benefited from the Empire’s regulations and also vindicated it.
Upon knowing that someone had such great audacity to not only attack the government but also implicate the citizens of an entire town, he was extremely infuriated.
Dennis, who led the tea, waved his hand and said, “Come on, let’s see if there are any leads left behind.”
The three of them circled around the town but still did not make any discoveries. The entire town was extremely quiet, with no signs of chaos at all. Everything was quietly placed where they should be at, as if their owners had only left for a short while.
“The other party must be at least a Demigod expert to be able to instantly kill or capture so many people.” Dennis frowned.
The Demigod old man let out a cold snort and said, “Hmph, it must be those rebel factions creating trouble. These treacherous villains…”
Just then, a cold voice rang out behind him.
“Are you guys… looking for me?”
“Who’s there?!
“Monster!”
“Watch out!”
Boom boom boom! Exploding sounds rang out, and the soaring flames encompassed the entire small town. However, before the small town started to burn, seething air currents surged forth, tearing it up into pieces.
The golden figure stared at the high temperature and flames that were wreaking havoc around him and said slowly, “Debrice, are these considered attacks?”
“Quick, run!”
“Don’t fight him head-on!”
A series of intense sounds of exchanging blows rang out, and densely-packed thunderbolts exploded and slowly disappeared.
