731 Lord Emissary, Meng Tu
“Lord Emissary!”
Under everyone’s surprised gazes, the space above the humans suddenly distorted and fluctuated. In the blink of an eye, a burly and bearded man appeared out of thin air.
This man was none other than the emissary of the southern region, Meng Tu.
When Meng Tu descended, the demonic power that had corrupted the area was instantly dispelled, replaced by warm energy.
!!
Meng Tu ignored everyone’s greetings. Instead, he stared in Lin Qiye’s direction with a grave expression.
“Lord Emissary, we…”
“There’s no need to say more. I already know.”
Wei Tong and the rest were about to report the situation to Meng Tu when they were interrupted.
Meng Tu still didn’t look at Wei Tong and the others. He waved his hand and said, “This is no longer your battlefield. Go to Ocean City and evacuate the people immediately.”
The expression on Meng Tu’s face was grave. Wei Tong and the rest were shocked and could not help but ask, “Lord Emissary, we’ve already defeated the demons around Ocean City, and we don’t have enough means of transportation. There’s no need to move the local people, is there?”
Upon hearing these words, Meng Tu turned his head to look at Wei Tong and Commander Ji.
However, the expression on his face was still solemn.
“You only have half an hour. Transfer as many people as you can in the meantime. From today onwards, the territories outside the third defense line will belong to the demon clan.”
He didn’t explain in detail, but his words made Wei Tong and the others pale.
“L-Lord Emissary, could it be that the demons have started a full-scale war?” Commander Ji asked in a trembling voice.
“Hurry up and execute the order.”
Meng Tu did not answer the crowd’s questions. He only threw out this sentence and instantly appeared at Lin Qiye’s location.
Seeing this, the group realized that the situation in the southern warzone might have changed when they were out.
Thus, they did not dare to waste any more time. They immediately followed Meng Tu’s orders and quickly ran in the direction of Ocean City.
On the other side, Lin Qiye had noticed the man when Meng Tu had descended.
Lin Qiye bowed respectfully when he saw Meng Tu.
“Junior Lin Qiye greets Lord Emissary.”
There was no one in the entire southern warzone who did not know Meng Tu’s story.
When Lin Qiye browsed the Practitioner forum, he read many stories about him and was rather impressed.
“You’re Lin Qiye?”
Meng Tu looked at the youth in front of him, who still had some demonic characteristics. He did not attack him but was rather surprised.
It was unknown if he was surprised by Lin Qiye’s age or condition.
Lin Qiye smiled and nodded. He was also carefully sizing up the bearded man.
At this moment, Meng Tu was wearing a set of metal armor with a damaged hooded cape.
Looking at the burn marks, it seemed to have been caused recently.
“What a promising young man!”
Meng Tu also smiled at Lin Qiye and could not help but sigh.
He walked up to Lin Qiye and patted his shoulder.
“Young man, you should also leave this place quickly. The upcoming battle is too dangerous for you.”
“There’s still a battle?”
Lin Qiye was stunned. He looked around and seemed puzzled.
This area of nearly ten thousand miles was covered by his divine sense, and he didn’t find any trace of demons at all. Where was the battle?
Meng Tu saw through his thoughts and pointed at the black sea below.
“I’m surprised you can fight against the demon’s second-in-command ]in the southern warzone. However, you might not know much about high-level demons.
“Those guys have a strange method. They can sacrifice themselves and temporarily open a teleportation channel connected tens of millions of miles away.
“The fellow you are fighting with… He sacrificed himself, right?”
Meng Tu looked down at the ox-headed demon’s body. He believed Lin Qiye wasn’t the cause of his death but that he had sacrificed himself.
Lin Qiye came to a sudden realization and smiled at Meng Tu, “That’s what you’re talking about, Lord Emissary. Don’t worry. I was the one who killed that guy. It’s impossible that he’s playing some sacrificial game.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Tu was stunned.
Although the ox-headed demon had yet to reach the Half-Supreme realm, he was still a top-tier expert who had grasped a trace of the borders.
Lin Qiye was only at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm. Even if he had many tricks up his sleeve, it was already an exaggeration to say he could fight the ox-headed demon to a draw, much less kill him!
However, looking at Lin Qiye’s calm expression and the ox-headed demon’s corpse below, it was obvious that someone had harvested it.
There was something wrong.
If it had been a sacrifice, the ox-headed demon shouldn’t have had a corpse left.
Could Lin Qiye have really killed the second-in-command?
While he was bewildered, Meng Tu’s brows furrowed even more.
The reason why he had rushed over was not only because Wei Tong cried for help.
It was because he had sensed the abnormality in this spacetime.
He had only experienced this feeling in the foreign battleground when he faced the demons that sacrificed themselves to open the portal.
...
Although the ox-headed demon’s corpse was still there, that feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
