Chapter 2026: At Least Two Sovereigns (2/2)

“Try Lan He, Lan Yu, Lan Yanglin, and the others.” Lan Chong growled.

Lan Changruo hastily tried to contact the team leaders of all the other teams they had sent out.

When he finally received a reply, his expression sank. Other than Lan Yu and Lan Yanglin, he had lost contact with the other teams.

When the Devil-eyed Blue Lion Empire had decided to set out on the expedition to the Devil Abyss, they had sent six teams out in total. Right now, they had lost contact with three of the teams they had sent out.

The ancestor level experts stared at each other, and they realized that things were taking a turn for the worst.

How could three groups go missing without sending so much as a cry for help?

Even if they were attacked by a group of Emperor Realm devil beasts, they couldn’t be killed on the spot!

“Who is it?! Did the news leak?!” Lan Changruo could no longer sit still when he realized that half of their forces were wiped out. “Did someone send experts over to attack my men?!”

Lan Chong shook his head. “There is no way for the news to leak…”

This time, he had gathered the experts under him to form an alliance with the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor. He hadn’t said anything about the devil steles when they had left the Devil Beast World, and he had only revealed their goal after arriving at the Devil Abyss. Right after that, they had split into teams to locate the devil steles. Before they had left, Lan Chong had even made them swear an oath to the heavens.

Suddenly, Lan Chong received a transmission signal from Wu Shaowu, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor. When he scanned through the message with his divine sense, his expression turned serious.

Everyone felt extremely curious when they realized the change on Lan Chong’s face.

“The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor sent a report. He lost contact with a team on his side, and it’s extremely possible they suffered an attack from a group of unknown experts. Everyone, stay vigilant!” Lan Chong explained to the others. “If his news is true, there has to be more than one Sovereign Realm expert on their side. There might be two Sovereigns making a move at the same time!”

That was the only way he could explain the fact that his subordinates couldn’t send out a single message for help before they were killed.

Everyone’s expression changed when they heard what he said.

Two Sovereigns!

“Who are they?! Who dares to go against our Devil-eyed Blue Lion Empire?!” One of the ancestors cried out in shock and fear.

Lan Chong seemed to have thought of something, and he quickly instructed Lan Changruo, “Hurry up, tell Lan Yu and Lan Yanglin to bring everyone over here!”

Lan Changruo knew the severity of the situation, and he hastily passed the message on to the two team leaders.

It was too bad only one group managed to turn up after two whole hours of waiting. Lan Yanglin met up with Lan Chong’s group, but Lan Yu was nowhere to be seen. No matter how Lan Changruo tried to contact Lan Yu, he failed.

Lan Chong’s face turned darker than thunderclouds, and he snorted, “Don’t let me find out who’s behind this. If I do, I’ll show you what happens to anyone who dares to challenge my Devil-eyed Blue Lion Empire!”

“Oh really?” Cold laughter drifted into Lan Chong’s ears.

Everyone stared at the source of the voice in shock.
