Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 200 - 201 : Grave situation

"Tsk, this is a power only gods could possess..."

"Yes, the entire imperial city has been wiped out just like that... It's even bigger than the state capital I govern."

"A city-destroying power... only a Grandmaster could achieve such a feat."

The generals' throats were dry, and their eyes were full of shock.

Jiang Tao spoke again, "Now is not the time for lamenting. We must move forward. Master Fang should be at the center of the imperial city."

The group hurriedly flew deeper into the imperial city, and after a while, they stopped above a huge cave, remaining silent for a long time...

The cave had a diameter of at least a kilometer, and it was pitch black, stretching across the ground like a giant beast waiting to devour anything in its path.

How did such a huge hole appear here?

Even if the generals racked their brains, they couldn't figure out the cause.

"We haven't found Master Fang's trace on the ground. The only possibility is that he is inside this cave. We must go down and investigate," suggested Zhong Chunhua.

The others had no choice but to agree. They slowly descended toward the deep, dark cave. However, before they could get close, they noticed a chilling crimson glow emanating from the cave.

It seemed the cave had been transformed by some unknown force. The ground and walls had turned into a red swamp, surging with waves. Countless blood vessel-like vines spread across it, resembling a spider's web.

The above-ground and underground worlds seemed to be entirely different from one another.

This strange sight made the generals uneasy, and they halted their steps.

"Let me explore the path ahead," said an old man as he stepped forward. "My divine powers are perfect for this task."

"Then we'll rely on you, General Liu," Jiang Tao nodded and signaled.

General Liu, named Liu Yuan, was the general of Chongwen Province, which bordered Yongnan Province, and was one of the first to receive help from Fang Yuan.

Under the watchful eyes of the group, Liu Yuan took the lead and descended into the cave. But as soon as he reached the entrance, something unexpected happened.

His flesh and blood withered rapidly, and countless crimson, mushroom-like flowers instantly grew all over his body. In the end, his body shattered into pieces!

In the next moment, Liu Yuan's broken body disappeared, and a new Liu Yuan appeared elsewhere.

"This is bad. The cave is filled with some kind of eerie power... If we step inside, we'll probably be instantly corrupted by this power and turn into a puddle of pus..." The newly appeared Liu Yuan's face turned pale, and his tone was filled with concern.

"Who could have done this..." Jiang Tao's expression darkened, as if he'd swallowed a fly. "Is it Emperor Yanwen?"

"Who else could it be?" Zhong Chunhua gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger. "Have any of you ever seen Master Fang use such sinister methods?"

The others shook their heads. In their impression, Master Fang indeed possessed many divine powers such as cutting strikes, thunder, and gravity, but they had never seen such a bizarre technique.

It must have been their cursed emperor. Truly a powerful figure... to have transformed an entire world into a crimson hell. Even these seven-level warriors couldn't get close.

But... if Master Fang is truly down there in this strange world, can he possibly survive?

"Master Fang, are you down there?" Seeing that they couldn't enter, they resorted to the most primal method, shouting loudly at the ground.

However, after shouting dozens of times, the only response was an eerie silence.

The generals grew more uneasy, and the result they least wanted to accept seemed closer than ever.

Master Fang... perhaps he truly perished with Emperor Yanwen.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and heavy rain poured down.

But the group showed no intention of leaving. They stood like statues, fixated on the dark hole, hoping for a miracle to occur.

The rain fell for an entire day and night, yet they remained like statues in the imperial city for the entire time.

But mere devotion wouldn't bring a miracle.

"Why, why hasn't Master Fang shown up..." Jiang Tao muttered to himself, looking dazed and lost.

The person who could single-handedly defeat all the great demons in the Yan Kingdom... has he really left us?

"From now on, we must prepare for the worst..." Zhong Chunhua wiped the rain off her face, her voice colder than ever:

"Standing here waiting is meaningless. We need to think about how the Yan Kingdom will respond to the impending invasion from the Ice Plains if Master Fang is truly gone."

The other generals all looked grim, and Jiang Tao suddenly let out a bitter laugh. Was there really anything to consider at this point?

The Yan Kingdom's Grandmasters were either dead or severely wounded. Meanwhile, the Ice Plains had at least three Grandmasters stationed there, not to mention the traitor Duke Zhuo Yang... The disparity in strength was simply enormous.

The Ice Plains wanted Yan Kingdom's territory and wanted slaves to kneel and beg. There were only two options left:

Either die or surrender.

The rain continued to fall, and a growing sense of fear spread among the generals.

"Oh, it seems the great person you've been waiting for hasn't shown up..."

In this gloomy atmosphere, a voice suddenly echoed.

The nine generals all felt a jolt of alarm, as the voice did not belong to any of them!

They quickly looked up toward the source of the sound and saw a man floating above them, his arms crossed.

The man had long, deep blue hair, and a thin body. He appeared semi-transparent, blending quietly into the rain.

Had he not spoken, the generals would have never noticed his presence.

Who was this man? When did he sneak up on them?

The generals' hearts immediately went on high alert, and Zhong Chunhua, drenched in cold sweat, recognized the man!

She had heard her brother mention his name, and a name surfaced in her mind.

"Nammo..."

"It's Nammo!"

A great Grandmaster from the Ice Plains, known as the [Water God]!

Boom!

Another lightning strike split the sky. The moment those words were spoken, the fear in the generals' hearts grew even stronger. The situation had grown even more dire!

A Grandmaster from the enemy nation had quietly infiltrated the capital, right under their noses!
