Chapter 1373 - White-Dressed Empress

In the heavy mountain range, it was a scene of a multitude of people fleeing with shock on their faces. Occasionally, they would cast a glance behind them, looking worried that the devils might chase after them…

These were the residents that Mu Chen had set free. After they left the city, they started to frantically travel out of fear that the Blood Fiend Clan might capture them.

Thus, they constantly traveled without any rest. Even if some of them fell behind, the group still did not slow down their speed…

While everyone was fleeing, Mu Chen stood on the sky with his Spiritual Energy retracted and he hid his presence while looking at these residents. He could already tell that these people had an objective, since they seemed to know where to go.

“They’re going to the so-called ‘Empress’?” Mu Chen murmured as he felt inquisitive. Could it be that the strength of the residents in this Lower Plane could protect themselves?

But he didn’t feel a great possibility in it. If that’s the case, then how could the Blood Fiend Clan still enslave the residents?

Because of all these facts, he did not show himself and chose to secretly follow them, since he wishes to take a look at the so-called ‘Empress’ under their lead.

Naturally, before he could get clear information on their so-called ‘Empress’, Mu Chen had no intention to interact with them. He had no choice but to be cautious after being in the territory of the Blood Fiend Clan.

With his thoughts flashing through his mind, Mu Chen lowered his head and looked at the people traveling…

Their journey lasted for two days before Mu Chen finally slowed down and he squinted his eyes, looking afar. He saw a majestic city behind an endless mountain range that was lively with a high wall around it.

Taking a rough glance at it, Mu Chen couldn’t see the end of the city. According to his estimation, there must be at least hundreds of millions of residents there.

This made him feel startled. The Blood Fiend Clan would actually let such a massive-scaled city exist?

While Mu Chen was shocked, everyone below roared with excitement and they charged towards the city.

When they got close to it, a few hundred silhouettes flew out, obstructing their path.

“Where are you guys from?!” Those silhouettes seemed to be the guards, since they hollered at this multitude.

“We come from Ironblood City.” The young lady that Mu Chen had previously saved stood out.

“Ironblood City?” The guards exchanged a look with shock filling their faces before they replied, “That’s a city with a Blood Demon General, how did you guys manage to escape?”

That young lady was excited as she responded, “A Great God descended from the sky and slaughtered every member of the Blood Fiend Clan in Ironblood City. Even the Blood Demon General was killed with a single move!”

“Nonsense!” All the guards were briefly dumbfounded before they refuted.

They were extremely clear of the terrifying Blood Fiend Clan’s strength, that strength wasn’t something that they could resist. As for the Blood Demon General, it’s even more frightening. But this young lady said he was killed in a single move? That’s simply nonsense!

Facing their holler, the other residents also came to verify her story and their emotional looks left the guards startled.

“Captain, can they be speaking the truth?” A guard spoke to the leader.

The leader knitted his brows. Although he felt that it was too unreal, too many people verified it. Could it really be true?

“If this is the truth, then we have to report this to the Empress immediately.” The Captain’s gaze changed before he waved his hand. “Let them in.”

At the same time, he turned to look at the young lady. “You, follow me and report the truth to the Empress!”

He then turned around as the city gate slowly opened and those outsides immediately cheered.



There’s a majestic palace in the center of the city. After the Captain reported the matter, bells echoed throughout the palace…

This was a place with many in the higher hierarchy of the palace gathering here.

Mu Chen hid while sweeping his gaze at the palace and was briefly shocked to see that everyone was emanating a decent power fluctuation. They were equivalent to those residents that he had seen…

But there were also a few that emitted extremely great fluctuations, which seemed to be close to the Blood Demon General’s strength, from his estimation.

In the Great Thousand World, their standard would be equivalent to Greater Earth Sovereigns.

But…. he had noticed that a few of them had a cold aura hidden in their bodies that belonged to the Blood Fiend Clan.

“A few of them have mixed with the Blood Fiend Clan’s power…” Mu Chen squinted his eyes. Although this city looked independent, it’s still under the Blood Fiend Clan’s attention.

“We pay respect to the Empress!” When Mu Chen sensed the power levels here, voices resounded within the palace and everyone kneeled.

In Mu Chen’s perception, a silhouette in a white dress slowly walked out. What left Mu Chen surprised was that this so-called ‘Empress’ turned out to be a gorgeous lass…

That lass’s appearance was exceptionally charming, with pale skin and a voluptuous figure that outlined her curves and a little prestige was in her eyes that emanated a pressure.

What left Mu Chen even more shocked wasn’t her appearance, but the fluctuation coming from her. It wasn’t any weaker than the Blood Demon General’s.

“She doesn’t have the cold aura of the Blood Fiend Clan, that means that her strength originated from herself? But her power isn’t too refined, it must be from an external source…” Mu Chen felt startled in his heart and he had a new view of this woman. But he was clear what opportunity and talent one required to possess such strength in the Lower Plane…

If he had guessed correctly, this lass should be the strongest resident of the Lower Plane.

But it looked like regardless of place, there would be someone outstanding standing out as messiah when a race was facing extinction…

While Mu Chen sighed, the white-dressed lass sat down and looked at the kneeling lady, then gently said, “Can you tell me of the events that happened Ironblood City?”

The young lady raised her head and looked at the white-dress lass with excitement. While all lifeforms in this world were being treated as livestock, it was this person that stood out and preserved the last safe haven for humanity.

Under such a desperate time, god-knows how many people have treated this lass as a messiah.

“Empress, what we said is the truth. There’s really a Great God that has descended from the sky with a powerful strength that instantly killed the Blood Demon General of Ironblood City.” The young lady spoke in excitement as her voice spread out and caused a commotion in the surroundings.

Even the white-dressed lass had revealed shock on her face, since she knew about the strength that the Blood Demon General possessed. Although she could defeat them, she couldn't kill them instantly in a single move.

“Hmph, what Great God, it’s just a bluff!” But a sneer resounded from a snickering, sinister-looking old man.

“I feel that we don’t have to consider what damn Great God it is, but how will we face the rage of the Blood Fiend Clan?!” That old man looked around and turned to look at the Empress, “So many members of the Blood Fiend Clan, along with a Blood Demon General, has died, the Blood Fiend Clan will surely not let this matter rest, and they will investigate this matter!

“So I suggest that we send all these people back and pay them 5,000,000 people to calm them. Otherwise, our last peaceful land might be annihilated under their rage!”

“The Grand Minister is right. We have to appease the rage of the Blood Fiend Clan and hand these people over.” When that old man spoke, three voices echoed along. They were three middle-aged men with faint crimson lights surging in their eyes.

Their voices had caused many from the higher hierarchy to turn pale as they balled their fists. However, they didn’t dare to speak, since they knew that this bunch of Ministers were only one level below the Empress in terms of hierarchy. They belonged to the faction close to the Blood Fiend Clan and their power also originated from them.

“Empress, please don’t!” When the young lady heard that they actually wanted to send them back to the Blood Fiend Clan, her face turned pale. She kowtowed her head on the ground, producing a noise that echoed out.

The white-dressed lass had also clenched her fist and her nails burrowed into her palm.

A man in armor finally couldn’t hold it and he hollered, “Grand Minister, these people viewed us as their last hope and made it here from such a long distance. Now you want to hand them back to those devils? Is your heart made of iron?”

The Grand Minister coldly swept a glance at the man that spoke and ridiculed, “I never expected that the Grand General would still have such passion. If the Blood Fiend Clan’s rage falls on us, are you going to fight them?”

The Grand General gritted his teeth, “Even death is better than cowardice! Everyone thinks that we rely on ourselves to stand firmly here, but we know better than anyone about that. That’s because we have to send them 5,000,000 of our citizens annually for them to be kept as livestock by those devils!

“Only by this way can we survive. But surviving without any dignity, is that really what we want?! Rather than that, we should fight it out with the Blood Fiend Clan, even if we might perish!”

As he spoke to the end, his eyes had turned red, affecting many of the Higher Hierarchy’s eyes to turn red. The white-dressed Empress’ body trembled with her nails digging into her palm with blood dripping down.

Many people have viewed her as the messiah, but she knew that her strength wasn’t sufficient. It wasn’t because of her power that they managed to survive in this city, but because the Blood Fiend Clan did not want them to perish, since they’re still food to them…

Handing over 5,000,000 citizens annually, seeing them howling in tears, she hated herself for being powerless. She had thought of perishing with the Blood Fiend Clan numerous times, but she knew that if that really happened, then they would lose their last chance…

Mu Chen looked at this scene and understood what was going on. No wonder this city could remain, it turned out that it was something that was wanted by the Blood Fiend Clan, since they need food. Although this land seemed to be the final peaceful land, it’s actually just struggling on while at death’s door and looked really pitiful.

Mu Chen gently sighed in his heart, but the white-dressed Empress suddenly raised her head and looked in his direction.

Mu Chen’s heart trembled at her gaze. One must know that he was currently hidden, and others basically couldn’t find him. But she managed to find him?

While Mu Chen was startled, the white-dressed Empress stood up and she bit on her lips before bowed in his direction with her hoarse voice resounding, “Lord, please show yourself since you’re already here…”
