The news of the four Lord Bosses being assassinated in a surprise attack spread with the wind.
Dozens of Abyssal Demon Lords who had gathered together instantly changed their complexion; they originally thought that aside from the humans besieging the Abyssal Lord, the rest were all weaklings.
No one expected that among these weaklings, a fierce wolf was hiding. As soon as it bared its fangs, six Lords of the same order as themselves were gone.
Such a brutally fierce individual was even more terrifying than them, the Abyssal Demons. Therefore, it was essential to avoid this pitfall!
More than a dozen fourth-order level 100 Lord Bosses, without hesitation, took their personal guard squads and led their own demon legions directly towards the castle's front gate.
They had lost their lairs, and they had rushed over to support primarily because the castle gate was breached. How could they have known someone would attack from behind?
When the enemy retreated, they could just obtain a good batch of resources from the hands of the Abyssal Lords, right?
As for the possibility of the palace being ransacked by this savage human, it didn't matter. What was left there were just some local Abyssal products. With a little time, they could easily amass them again.
The real valuables were of course carried on their persons; they weren't foolish enough to leave them at home for someone else's benefit.
The grand Demon Army set out from the rear to the front wards of the city, led by fourteen fourth-order level 100 Lord Bosses.
Zi Liyuan could never have known that his wave of assassinations led nearby palace Bosses to fear being killed by such a calamity, so they all fled.
When he arrived at another palace, he noticed the change of information displayed in the Death's Eye.
The Big Bosses are gone?
After searching five nearby palaces and plundering countless materials, the four of them were utterly baffled.
Something was amiss. Why hadn't they seen a single Boss?
Not even a shadow of the Demon Retainers guarding inside the palaces could be seen; it was as if they had collectively fled.
"Brother Zi, could there be some scheme waiting for us to walk into?"
In the rear palace district, twenty giant palaces were constructed. Aside from the Lord Bosses they had killed, not a single Lord Boss was to be seen.
This was certainly abnormal and filled Wang Fatty with an inexplicable sense of unease.
He was afraid that these Bosses would learn from Zi Liyuan and hide in the shadows to launch a surprise attack, directly targeting him.
As a Beast Tamer, he was no match for a fourth-order level 100 Lord Boss, as fragile as instant noodles, which could easily be crushed with a little force.
"You're overthinking it. Besides, even if ten of them came at once, I wouldn't be afraid. I am confident I could take them all down."
As long as these Bosses didn't have the ability to kill him in one hit, he was confident he could annihilate them all.
Of course, this required the cooperation of the Lord Bosses. Otherwise, if these guys really fled, he currently didn't have the ability to simultaneously stop ten fourth-order level 100 Lord Bosses.
"Brother Zi, we've searched all the palaces in this area, and apart from materials, we haven't found any other highly valuable items."
Having scoured a dozen palaces and only bringing back some worthless trinkets, they naturally felt discontented.
"In broad daylight, the assassination of four Lord Bosses is probably out there by now. The Lords of the unattacked palaces have likely gathered forces to support the battlefront in the city's anterior sectors," Zi Liyuan sighed, dissatisfied with the outcome.
Those were a group of fourth-order level 100 Lord Bosses. If they could have taken them all down, what great benefits would that have been?
"Shall we go and support as well?"
Shen Yurou blinked her eyes, a sly gleam flashing through them.
"You call that supporting? Your eyes are practically spinning out of your head."
Tapping Shen Yurou on the head, Zi Liyuan's gaze drifted past the surrounding palaces toward the central area of the castle.
That was where the Abyssal Castle Lord, the Abyssal Lord himself, resided. At that moment, a massive energy fluctuation was faintly emanating, giving him the premonition of an impending disaster.
With a Soul Value of over two thousand, his sensitivity to danger had become extremely keen. This sudden sense of crisis made him indecisive for a moment.
Indeed, after assassinating a group of fourth-order Lord Bosses, he wanted to leverage the Spider Queen and the Face-Spider as trump cards to take a look at the central palace. If he could take advantage of the opportunity, he would not mind getting involved.
Of course, his involvement wasn't to take down the Abyssal Castle Lord but rather to enact a scorched-earth policy on the enemy's turf.
Inside the Abyssal Castle Lord's lair, there surely had to be a good number of valuables, right?
With the Dragon Academy instructors restraining the Abyssal Lord, if he led the Spider Queen and the Face-Spider in for a murky foray and cleaned out the Abyssal Lord's nest, the Academy instructors probably wouldn't have anything to say, right?
"The suppression due to bloodline is too severe; I advise against going to the Abyssal Lord's palace."
Number Two, who had been paying close attention, had long noticed something off in Zi Liyuan's expression and quietly approached to offer a soft reminder.
"Is it that serious? How does it compare with the Spider Queen?"
If it were only to the Spider Queen's extent, Zi Liyuan would definitely take the risk and wouldn't mind challenging the Abyssal Lord.
The Spider Queen's bloodline had been artificially enhanced with the blessing of the Evil God, resulting in insufficient purity. Thus, the bloodline suppression wasn't as strong for Number Two.
But this Abyssal Castle Lord was different. Even without having met this Abyssal Lord, just being in its castle made Number Two feel as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
