Chapter 1378: The Queen in White

Many people fled across the mountains as though they were running for their lives. Everyone had a flustered look on their face, and they kept turning their heads to look behind them. It was as if they were afraid that a demon was coming after them.

These were the indigenous people from the city whom Mu Chen had saved. After they had left the city, they rushed the entire way, in fear of being captured by the Fiend Blood Tribe again. They did not dare to stop moving. Even though some of their team members dropped off along the way, most of them continued to press on.

Mu Chen stood in the sky above these people. He withdrew his spiritual energy and hid himself in the void. As he looked at the indigenous people, he went deep in thought. Mu Chen had been following them for some time, and he could tell that the people knew where they were going. Apparently, they knew where they had to go in order to be safe.

”Is it the queen whom they were referring to?” Mu Chen muttered to himself, and he found it strange. Is it possible that the indigenous people have the power to fend for themselves in the Lower Planes? However, he found it unlikely. How can they gather together when the Fiend Blood Tribe is ruling over them?

Mu Chen did not show himself to these people for several reasons as he followed them secretly. He wanted them to lead him to the queen whom they were talking about. Mu Chen did not want to associate with them before he knew more about the queen. He had come alone to the Fiend Blood Tribe's territory, and he had to be careful.

As Mu Chen thought of this, he lowered his head once again to look at the people who were on the run. After hurrying along for two days, Mu Chen felt that they had started to slow down. He then looked into the distance, and his gaze froze.

He saw many towering cities beyond the mountains. The cities were bustling with noise, and they were joined together with high city walls. From far, they looked like a large city-state.

Mu Chen glanced at it, and he was unable to see the end of the city-state. According to his estimation, there were about 100,000,000 indigenous people staying in the city-state.

He found it puzzling that the Fiend Blood Tribe had allowed such a large number of indigenous people to exist. As Mu Chen was still thinking about this, those people who had reached the city-state shouted out in joy. They then flooded toward the city-state.

As they neared the city-state, a few hundred figures darted out and stopped them from entering.

”Where did you come from?” those people shouted as they looked at the large amount of people moving toward the city-state. Apparently, they were the sentries.

”We come from Battle City,” the girl whom Mu Chen had saved earlier said loudly as she stepped out.

”Battle City?” The sentries looked at one another in amazement and asked, ”That place is being guarded by a Blood Demon General. How did you manage to escape from him?”

The girl said excitedly, ”A deity has come down from the heavens and killed the top powers of the Fiend Blood Tribe in Battle City. He even killed the Blood Demon General with one blow!”

The sentries widened their eyes and rebuked her at the same time, saying, ”You are spouting nonsense!”

The sentries were aware of the ruthless Fiend Blood Tribe. They could not fend off the Fiend Blood Tribe's power, and the Blood Demon General was even more terrifying. However, the girl standing before them said that the Blood Demon General had been killed by someone with one blow, which made it sound ridiculous! However, the rest of the indigenous people backed up her claims, and they looked so excited that the sentries were taken aback.

One of the sentries asked the leader softly, ”Captain, could they be telling the truth?”

The captain furrowed his brows. Although he found it ridiculous, since so many people had corroborated the story, what the girl had said might be true.

”If this is true, we will have to report to the queen immediately.” The look in the captain's eyes changed, and he waved his hand and said, ”Let them in.” He then looked at the girl and said, ”Follow me. We shall report this to the queen and fill her in with the details!” Having said that, he turned around. The city gate behind him slowly opened, and the people flooded in with joy, having escaped from the calamity.

A towering palace was located at the center of the city. After the captain had reported the matter, quick chiming sounds resounded in the palace. The people at the top levels of the city-state quickly gathered together in the main hall.

Mu Chen hid himself in the void and looked at the main hall. He was surprised to see that there were many fluctuations around the people in the main hall, and they were not weak. Apparently, Mu Chen had compared their strength to those indigenous people whom he had met earlier.

There were still some of them who seemed to be powerful. According to Mu Chen's speculation, the power of these people should be on par with that of the Blood Demon General. If they were in the Great Thousand World, their power would be comparable to that of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

When Mu Chen sensed it more carefully, he noticed that these people indistinctly exuded a cold aura that was similar to that of the Fiend Blood Tribe. These people have the power of the Fiend Blood Tribe in their bodies. Mu Chen squinted. Although the city-state looked as though it was independent, it was still being eyed by the Fiend Blood Tribe.
