“All three Demigods have gone missing?” Tyrant looked at the report in his hands, and his eyes narrowed.

Their world had gone through a metamorphosis, causing the ether particles to be unprecedentedly active. Additionally, the Empire was rich in resources and had a thriving martial arts scene, and its countless Knights were improving at a tremendous rate. Other than the Divine level experts in the past, there had been over ten newly advanced Divine level experts.

However, there were only several hundred Demigod existences across the Empire. Each of them were capable of dominating an area of their own. Right now, the simultaneous disappearance of Demigods over a case was something that had not happened ever since Fang Xingjian took control over the Empire.

After finding out about this, Tyrant no longer sent ordinary Divine level experts to investigate. Instead, he personally led a team of several hundred elites from the Eastern Sand Region to the Eastern Sand Region.

Tyrant had been through tough and endless cultivation and received all sorts of resources as well as heavenly and earthly treasures from Fang Xingjian. He had also gotten the reinforcement from the ninth level of the mystical prints, read the secret manuals from countless martial arts factions, and jointly cleared the Nine-Tiered Heavens’ trials with someone else using the Double Moons Projection. At present, he had already reached the pinnacle of tier five of the Divine level.

Additionally, his intentions for making this trip personally were very simple. The other party was capable of letting three Divine level experts disappear unknowingly. They must be an existence that was at least at the Divine level or higher. There would still be risks in sending other Divine level experts over. The reason he made this trip personally was so that the other party would not be given any chances.

Therefore, one day later, over 100 elites followed Tyrant and headed to the Eastern Sand Region, arriving in the Gold Mountain Town that was amidst the desert.

Right now, the Gold Mountain Town showed no signs of having been destroyed after a great battle. Everything still appeared so tranquil and desolate. It was just like how things were when Dennis and the other two Demigods arrived earlier.

Tyrant waved his hand, and the East Military Execution Order’s elites—who wore blue and white uniforms—turned into many black shadows and darted out with a flash. They searched through the entire town like tidal waves.

“Commander, there aren’t anyone.”

“Sir, there are no discoveries.”

“Based on the traces, the people here left at most one hour ago.”

Tyrant closed his eyes briefly and listened to his subordinates’ reports. Simultaneously, he sent his martial will spreading out like air that passed through everywhere, checking the entire town’s situation inch by inch.

A short moment later, Tyrant opened his eyes, and a hint of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

‘Are they really gone?’

Hoult, who was standing next to him, asked, “Sir, do we give chase?” Hoult was from the same year as Fang Xingjian back in the academy and a genius who had gotten second place in the Regional Selection. After giving up on competing against Fang Xingjian, Hoult fully devoted his efforts on cultivating and on his work.

Relying on his outstanding talent, he had become an important subordinate to Tyrant and had even advanced to become an expert at tier two of the Divine level.

Hearing Hoult’s question, Tyrant was just about to nod when he suddenly raised his brows. “That’s not right.”

“What is it?” Hoult and the others immediately got on their guard.

Tyrant abruptly looked toward the center of the town. “Not only is there no one, but there isn’t even an ant within a range of ten lis. There is clearly a problem.”

Before Tyrant’s voice died away, the colors in the entire world seemed to change. The sky was suddenly encompassed by layers of red light. Countless cracks opened up in the ground, and red viscous blood-like liquid covered the ground as it came over.

Strong gales that had an intense smell of blood started blowing, and there seemed to be aggrieved souls crying.

“A bunch of trickeries!” Tyrant let out a cold laugh and punched out, and it was as if a huge howling beast had appeared. The beast opened its mouth toward a place in the center of the town that had an area of several thousand square meters, wanting to swallow it in one mouthful.
