Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate-Chapter 162 - 161: The Stalker in the Shadows

"Have you heard? The people from the Dark Cloud Kingdom and the Holy Radiance Kingdom got into a fight over a cleansing mission."

"Huh? Really? Is it true?"

"Of course, it’s true. I just came back from there, right outside a canyon near the Land of Decay. The people from both sides are confronting each other now."

"Land of Decay? Isn’t it said that the place has been recently polluted by the Aura of Chaos, with many Tier Seven demons appearing?"

"Yes, that’s the place. It seems both sides took on the demon-cleansing task, and neither wants to give way."

"Haha, won’t that be quite a show?"

Lin You didn’t continue to listen to the conversation that followed.

His expression gradually turned to one of surprise.

He did not expect to hear news about the Holy Radiance Kingdom here, so he couldn’t help but listen a bit longer.

After all, he could be considered half a lord of the Holy Radiance Kingdom.

If you really want to differentiate, the continent should only have two types of countries: the Empire and the Kingdom.

The kings of the duchies actually only count as dukes or grand dukes under a kingdom, meaning they are subordinate states.

But the relationship between kingdoms and the empire is different.

Though they have a subordinate relationship, they are also independent.

It’s only because the Empire is powerful that the surrounding Kingdoms have to rely on it.

Just like when the Tang Dynasty unified everything, and the foreign lands paid tribute.

So theoretically, all the lords within the Holy Radiance Kingdom belong to the same country.

But all that isn’t the main point.

The main point is that what these lords were discussing deeply attracted him, and his gaze grew brighter.

A demon stronghold?

A large number of Tier Seven demons?

Isn’t that a pile of resources and points, and experience to gather!

After all, he’s not familiar with those lords.

Who cares?

Might as well go and take a look.

Thinking of this, he casually pulled someone over to ask about the location of the Land of Decay.

Upon learning the place, he immediately mounted the Demon King Dragon and quickly flew away from the checkpoint, hurrying towards that direction.

...

Meanwhile.

About fifty to sixty kilometers away from the checkpoint.

Outside a canyon in a misty area.

Two groups of people stand at the two entrances, glaring angrily at each other.

"Dark Cloud Kingdom, don’t go too far! We accepted this cleansing mission first!"

"Hmph, so what if you accepted it first? Haven’t you done anything yet?"

"I think you’re just deliberately trying to trouble our Holy Radiance Kingdom!"

"Watch your words. Which eye of yours saw us being deliberate?"

"If it wasn’t deliberate, then what about the person you injured?"

"Oh, that was just a slip-up. Sorry, sorry, haha."

The man at the forefront of the Dark Cloud Kingdom group looked fearless, apologizing with no expression of regret, his face showing a hint of mockery instead.

Seeing this, the people from the Holy Radiance Kingdom fumed, ready to charge forward and argue, when a graceful figure in armor, accompanied by Angel species, stopped them.

"Enough, Liu Yuan is seriously injured now. The most important thing is to take him back to the checkpoint for treatment. Let them have this cleansing mission!"

Saying this, her sharp gaze swept over the Dark Cloud Kingdom team, making them lean back slightly, faces showing apprehension.

The leading man snapped back to reality, his eyes narrowing.

"You’re indeed the princess of the duchy under the kingdom. A true woman of valor. You must be Ji Yunshuang, the so-called Angel Valkyrie?"

"What of it? Do you have something to say?"

Ji Yunshuang, true to her name, was cold as ice, her gaze frosty as she stared directly at them.

The Six-winged Blazing Angels beside her spread their wings, casting a large swath of Holy Light that made her armor gleam brightly.

For a moment.

The atmosphere between the two groups was tense, both sides facing off against each other again.

But they did not notice.

As they were at a standstill, a shadow in the sky flew rapidly, straight into the Mist Canyon in the distance.

"This must be the place."

Lin You murmured to himself, glancing at the canyon below while consulting a crude map he bought from other lords.

Just as the lords discussed, there were indeed two forces gathered outside the canyon, looking quite angry.

"Go on, fight. I’ll hold onto these resources for you first, hehe."

Lin You chuckled, not intending to get involved in this mess, and had the Demon King Dragon dive straight into the valley, flying to its deepest part.

Vaguely, he could see large numbers of moving corpses and skeletons. There were numerous demon types, even lots of Resentful Spirit Class demons, and they were all Tier Six or Seven.

No wonder the resentment was so high.

But with the Enchanting Beldam who specializes in dealing with Spiritual Class monsters, Lin You wasn’t worried.

He waved his hand, and a massive Plant Legion landed with a roar, charging at the surrounding demons under the lead of Cyan Gang.

Next.

The enormous figure of Cyan Rattan appeared, plunging into the dense demon group.

Cyan Rattan, starved for battle, wouldn’t let the opportunity slip. Giant vines rooted quickly in the canyon, spreading Blood Poisonous Mist, frantically attacking the nearby demons.

The other plants spread out, resisting the demons that surged forward crazily with them.

"Roar!!"

At this moment, a Tier Seven Undead Corpse Dog wandering nearby caught the scent of living beings and rushed at them furiously.

The Resentful Spirits hovering in the air shrieked piercingly, charging straight at Lin You, who had just landed.

But before they got close, Lin You was already surrounded by a pink poisonous mist, with Enchanting Beldams executing the Banshee’s Kiss, making them fight among themselves in the air.

On the other hand, the Mushroom Demon King was busy, accompanied by mushrooms following the charging Ancient War Tree, tossing mushrooms outward continuously.

A series of violent explosions turned the charging demons into heaps of bones and flesh.

Fortunately, Lin You had purposely chosen the deepest part of the canyon when he entered, far from the entrance, so he didn’t worry about the commotion reaching outside.

It continued until nearly all the demons were cleared, and the people outside finally noticed something was off.

"Something’s not right, why does the noise inside seem to be getting quieter?"

A lord from the Dark Cloud Kingdom said in confusion.

His words made the others pause, their expressions turning uncertain.

"It really does seem quieter."

"Did you hear it? There seems to be an explosion inside."

"It sounds like it. I heard it too."

"Could someone have gotten in ahead of us?"

"Not good! Let’s get in quickly and check!"

Saying this, the two teams finally realized, faces changing at once.

Without hesitation, they rushed towards the canyon with their species in tow.

With the Angel Species, Ji Yunshuang soared ahead into the sky.

However, when she swept past the canyon entrance and entered inside, she saw a spread of dismembered bodies and only a few scattered demons.

And a Plant Giant Dragon just flying away in the distance.

"Plant Type?"

Ji Yunshuang’s brow furrowed slightly, deeply watching the slowly disappearing silhouette.
