Chapter 976 “Mother, There’s a Psycho Here (4)”
At the same time while all of this took place, Yu Xiong the Eagle Chief had been in the middle of looking out at the streets from a restaurant, his eyes seemingly contemplating something in his mind. Then suddenly, the door to his room were pushed open and in came an especially scrawny yet tall looking man. Kneeling there: “Eagle Chief, I came to inform you there’s movement at the fox’s manor….”
“Hmm?” Yu Xiang’s pricks his brow, “What happened, speak now.”
“Just earlier someone went to find Hu Mei, saying they’ve caught the woman from a month ago who fled into the demonic mountain range. She’s currently rushing over to verify the truth of that news.”
“The mountains? Isn’t this stretch of the mountains the territory of the Wing Clan?” Musing over that knowledge, he paces back and forth a bit before speaking again: “I just saw a lot of the Wing Clan members coming through in the city, can it be…. it’s related to the queen?”
There’s no mistake, it’s very likely they’re talking about the queen.
“Go!” All serious in his face, the eagle chief was rearing to get into the action: “We’re leaving now. The queen is waiting for us!”
“Yes, Eagle Chief.”
……
Since the Wing Clan was ranked among one of the strongest ethnic races in the Demon Realm, similar to the Dragon Clan, its bound to raise some ruckus when they made a move today. The demons in the border city were quick to pick up on this of course, that’s why they sent their own spies to investigate the matter. However, before they could get a proper answer from their own men, the Eagles also began to move. Now that’s a huge red flag for the rest of the demon clans and they could smell the unusual air even from afar.
To be perfectly clear, the humans living in this border city were nothing compared to the number of demon forces amassed at the surrounding lands. The only reason the residences here in this place could remain unharmed to this date was much thanks to the insignificant nature of this settlement – its crummy, a backwater that yielded no worth for conquest. Now imagine a force easily able to trample them into the dirt appearing from out of nowhere and from all directions, it’s not hard to picture the level of unease and fear felt by the clueless humans.
Is this the power of the Demon Realm?
Why did they never show any sign of having this many in the region?
They could’ve long conquered this city. Why now? Why so sudden?
……
While things were moving away from her visible view, Hu Mei had just arrived outside the tavern indicated by the young man. But before she stepped inside, her eyes subconsciously looked up to the big blue sky without reason.
“Miss Hu Mei, what’s the matter?” asked the young lad.
Shaking her head, “Nothing, let’s go in.”
Is it my illusion, why does it feel so oppressive all of a sudden like there’s no light in the sky at all? Maybe I’m overthinking this….
Shaking away the silly thought, Hu Mei no longer dwelled on the matter and pushed open the door. The second she stepped inside, what welcomed here wasn’t the image of a female bound by ropes, rather it’s a bunch of men kneeling on the floor with a single female in red standing at the back of the establishment!
