Chapter 1413: Chapter 1031: Immortal Alliance

"What exactly happened? Where are the demon beasts?"

"Gosh, I just took on a task that required thirty Thunder Rock Python Inner Cores. Thinking that last night there were many Thunder Rock Pythons left unhunted, I thought I could get a head start tonight, and now there’s nothing left!"

"The order from the Commerce Association, today’s the last day, and the timing was just right to complete it. How could this happen... damn it, usually there are so many demon beasts we can’t hunt them all! If we breach the contract, we’ll have to compensate with a lot of Spirit Stones!"

"Could it be related to the dissolution of the Demon Realm Alliance?"

"Hey! I heard the Commerce Association conspired with the Evil Cultivators to drag the alliance down. The Demon Beast Teleportation Array was constructed by the Demon Realm Alliance, given the current situation, could it have been reclaimed by the alliance?"

"No way! I’ve heard that there’s nothing left of the Demon Realm Alliance, even if they could take down the Teleportation Array, could they really have killed all those demon beasts in one day? Are they really that powerful?"

"Absolutely impossible! If they were that capable, could they still let the Commerce Association get the upper hand?"

......

Countless demon cultivators who made a living hunting demon beasts stood outside the empty city, gazing at the barren mountains under the moonlight afar, with not a single demon beast in sight.

Apart from the howling wind, no cry of a demon beast could be heard.

The once bustling outskirts of Wanbao City were now excessively quiet.

"Without the hustle and bustle of demon beasts, I suddenly realized just how desolate the area around Wanbao City is, without even a decent piece of wasteland."

"Not only that, but those hills and the land still bear traces of battle, and it seems it’ll be a long while before any flowers, grass, or trees grow here, the surrounding area is more like a battlefield."

"The East Source Forest seems the same as before, but why does it feel... is the forest too quiet?"

"Not even the sound of birds! Everything was fine last night, could something terrifying have happened during the day?"

"Didn’t hear a sound, wasn’t the red-haired badger at East Source Forest quite formidable? It couldn’t have been taken out so silently, could it?"

Opinions were varied, but no one could guess what had happened, they could only patiently wait for the City Lord to return after checking the Teleportation Array, to give everyone an explanation.

The atmosphere in Wanbao City was gloomy, while the Commerce Association’s hired workers in the city were overjoyed.

After all, they were paid by the hour, and tonight they didn’t have to work but still got paid. They too went from the streets to outside the city, to witness the rare and bizarre spectacle.

"Gone, how could they be gone?" City Lord Kang Muzi looked at the empty hills, his mind buzzing.

A subordinate cautiously asked, "City Lord, could it be that the location was remembered incorrectly? There’s no trace of any arrays here, it looks more like it was never built in the first place. Even if it was maliciously destroyed, it couldn’t have been so thoroughly destroyed leaving no clues."

"Indeed." Another subordinate suggested, "Let’s spread out and search for traces towards the outer areas, it’s certainly bizarre that not a shadow of a demon beast can be seen, but at least it’s easier to search for any remnants of the Teleportation Array."

At this point, everyone understood without speaking—the Teleportation Array was certainly destroyed, leading to no new demon beasts being transported over, and the previous ’stock’ might have run away by themselves or were dealt with.

The urgent task is to find remnants of the Teleportation Array, then determine who attacked it, resolve the destroyers on one hand, and repair the array on the other hand.

Kang Muzi’s face darkened as he angrily retorted, "When we built this Teleportation Array, I was there, how could I have remembered the location wrong? Besides, within a radius of more than ten miles, it’s bare, not even a blade of grass, where is there any trace of a Teleportation Array?"

Damn it! If I find out who did this, I’ll skin them alive, otherwise, I’m not worthy of my surname Kang! Follow me, let’s check the situation at other Teleportation Arrays."

The City Lord was furious, and the subordinates didn’t dare to breathe heavily, silently following along to be teleported to the next destination.

Out of all thirty demon beast Teleportation Arrays, Kang Muzi stubbornly checked each one, but the result was, not even a trace was left behind, they were all gone!

"Getting angry is pointless, we need to first figure out a way to solve the problem." Filled with boiling blood and trembling with anger, he muttered under his breath while taking deep breaths, ensuring he wasn’t losing his head in rage.

When he saw the first Teleportation Array vanish, the image of Vice Hierarch Du Li flashed through Kang Muzi’s mind, that guy looked amicable, but was actually ruthless and vengeful!

Thirty Teleportation Arrays disappeared without a trace in one day, along with all those gathered demon beasts, not a single demon beast left to hunt in all of Wanbao City, it had to be Du Li’s doing!

No doubt, Du Li recently took a Great Demon Beast as a Spirit Pet, released it, and drove those demon beasts away, very likely.

Wanbao City thrived solely by hunting demon beasts and selling demon cores, bones, and flesh. To suddenly cut off the supply, without replenishing it quickly, would lead to a mass exodus of demon cultivators, this move of cutting off the resources is simply vicious!

"Lord City Lord, I just got new information, would you like to hear it?" A trusted aide who had enjoyed the good life with the City Lord for many years, fearing that a good city would decline, eventually leading to hard times, used his connections to gather any new information.

Kang Muzi nodded, "Speak."

"The artifact refiners, array masters, and other related forging departments of the Demon Realm Alliance have been lured to Qihan Mountain." The trusted aide carefully replied: "Previously, Left General Lu Chongde of the new alliance personally went to Qihan Mountain to negotiate.

The Mountain Master was moved and voluntarily joined, and using the various arrays within Qihan Mountain as capital, lured the former forging department members away.
