The Demons in the city died in despair.
Most never understood why, even in their final monts. They couldn’t comprehend why the Teleportation Stones had failed or why no ssages could be sent out.
Only a handful of the clever ones grasped the truth before death claid them. But it made no difference; their realization vanished with their souls into eternal silence.
The Succubus Queen watched from afar, her heart pounding as the city was wiped out. Had she not beco the Demon Emperor’s slave, she might very well have been among the dead.
She knew the Demon Emperor’s thods. Even without her, the Demon Emperor could have sealed the city.
It wasn’t limited to her king city; Lilian had ways to control the king cities of the other Demon Kings as well.
In the past 1,000 years, she had laid many contingencies. What she knew was only the tip of the iceberg. Yet even that was enough to make her tremble.
Under Undead Gaze, the king city was completely annihilated in just two minutes.
Lin Moyu’s EXP surged again. At this rate, two more cities like this would be enough for another level up.
When Lin Moyu massacred the city, the Demon Emperor appeared to erupt in fury.
A dense mist spread rapidly, engulfing an area several thousand ters wide.
Within the mist, the undead army collapsed instantly—over half destroyed in a heartbeat.
Even the Skeletal Kings were not spared. The Demon Emperor’s power was undeniable.
Lin Moyu’s expression flickered. With a beat of his Deathwings, he vanished in an instant.
The mist shrank back. But the Demon Emperor had already lost track of him.
A hoarse, furious shriek tore through the air.
The scene mirrored what had happened with the Dragon Emperor in the Dragonkind World.
Only the Succubus Queen knew the truth: it was all an act. The performance was flawless, convincing enough to deceive anyone unaware of the sche.
To outsiders, however, the story was clear.
The Demon Emperor had engaged Lin Moyu in a fierce battle. Yet the cunning Lin Moyu had seized the opportunity to strike a king city mid-fight.
In the end, the Demon Emperor flew into a rage. But Lin Moyu, unable to withstand the pressure, chose to flee.
Lin Moyu’s escape skill was incredibly formidable; neither the Dragon Emperor nor the Demon Emperor had been able to stop him.
Even the humans watching the live broadcast believed this version. Seeing Lin Moyu escape unhard, they finally relaxed.
No one questioned his retreat. After all, his opponent was the Demon Emperor—a half-step Transcendent God, one of the strongest beings in this world.
Among the humans, only a single half-step Transcendent God could barely stand against the Demon Emperor.
To escape unscathed and even destroy a king city in the process was, in everyone’s eyes, a resounding victory.
The Demon Emperor’s final roar, echoing the Dragon Emperor’s earlier fury, made it clear that Lin Moyu had gained the upper hand.
His status soared once more, and praises spread like wildfire.
Then, the live broadcast abruptly went dark.
Antares closed his eyes, “That’s enough. Too much is as bad as too little.”
Under his orchestration, Lin Moyu had been completely deified.
He had surpassed legendary figures such as Serene God and White God, even outshining countless human ancestors.
Even half-step Transcendent Gods seed dim in comparison.
After all, no one had ever stord the Dragonkind World or the Abyss, much less slaughtered entire cities.
Lin Moyu’s actions had vented the long-held fury of the human race, avenging the blood of countless lives lost.
…
After Lin Moyu withdrew, Lilian made no move to chase him—just as he expected.
This was part of their performance. She knew exactly how much force to apply, and their mutual understanding required no words.
Working with smart people was a pleasure; often words were not needed to understand what should be done.
His escape route was not random. In the heat of battle, Lilian had subtly guided him, using her actions to indicate the direction.
By coincidence, during earlier exploration, Lin Moyu had confird that two king cities lay 1,000 kiloters in that direction.
When he arrived, he found them already sealed. Not a single Demon could flee, nor could any ssage be sent out.
It mirrored the situation at the Succubus Queen’s king city, another gift from Lilian.
Lin Moyu accepted it without hesitation.
After annihilating the two cities, a surge of white light enveloped him as he leveled up. He finally reached level 83.
His soul force surged like a rolling tide, increasing by a large margin.
Lin Moyu gazed toward a spot in the void, “You’ve been following all this ti. Co out.”
The space warped, and the Succubus Queen erged.
“Godly General Lin, long ti no see.” She greeted him.
Having crossed paths more than once, they could almost be considered acquaintances.
Lin Moyu asked, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
A flicker of unease crossed the Succubus Queen’s face, but she gritted her teeth, “You won’t kill . If you intended to, you would have done so long ago.”
“Besides, I’ve already surrendered my king city to you.”
Lin Moyu looked her over. Though she was a Demon, her appearance matched human standards of beauty perfectly.
If not for the tail behind her and her pointed ears, she would have been nothing short of breathtaking.
He said quietly, “You’re clever. Stay close to your master. It may be the only way you survive what’s to co.”
With that, he activated the Abyss Teleportation Stone and vanished from the Abyss World.
There was nothing left for him to gain here. He had already received the Demon Emperor’s gift, and the other cities were likely abandoned.
With the Demons scattered, hunting them down individually would only waste ti. As for the Demon Kings, they were surely hiding even deeper.
But that didn’t matter. There would be other chances. And when the ti ca, none of them would escape.
Only after Lin Moyu left did the Succubus Queen release a long breath.
When Lilian had subtly pointed the way, both Lin Moyu and the Succubus Queen had understood.
Taking a gamble, she followed his lead and soon confird her suspicion: two other king cities had been sealed off, just like her own.
There was no doubt. Her master, Lilian, was behind it.
As expected, Lilian had made arrangents, thods to control every king city.
Had the Succubus Queen harbored even the slightest thought of betrayal, she likely would have died in the king city.
Witnessing Lilian’s ability and caution firsthand, the Succubus Queen broke into a cold sweat. She felt a surge of relief that she had remained loyal.
A thick mist rolled in without warning. Her vision blurred, and in the next instant, she found herself in the Demon Emperor’s Palace.
Demon Emperor Lilian sat upon her throne, her posture languid.
“Do you understand now?” Lilian’s voice carried a trace of coldness.
The Succubus Queen dropped to her knees, “Your Majesty, I was rely curious. I had no other intentions.”
Lilian gently swirled the wine in her cup, “I know. Otherwise, you would already be dead.”
Not daring to lift her head, the Succubus Queen asked, “Your Majesty, how did Lin Moyu know I was your person?”
Lilian’s voice rang like wind chis—beautiful, yet edged with steel, “How could soone as smart as him fail to see through it?”
“Rember this: if you wish to survive the final purge and live well afterward, then obey.”
“As for the little Succubi you deliberately let escape… whether they are obedient enough to share in this fortune remains to be seen.”
The Succubus Queen’s mind raced.
At last, she understood what she should do and what she must never do.
