Chapter 325: A Brief Presence from the Underworld 1
A few moments ago, at one of the teleportation stations in Larson City, a large group of armored figures emerged from the teleportation portal. The aura emanating from their armor revealed that each piece was an artifact, and their average cultivation level was no trivial matter—most of them were at the marquess stage. Among them were individuals above the marquess stage, with the strongest, their leader, at the middle emperor stage.
The moment people noticed the group, they instinctively stepped aside, unwilling to obstruct their path after recognizing the symbol on their armor—the emblem of the imperial family. From their armor and the badges on their chests, it was apparent that this was the renowned Blue Dragon Battalion, an elite unit of the imperial family composed of powerful knights, where only the most exceptional individuals were selected to serve.
Many speculated that the arrival of the Blue Dragon Battalion in this city was related to the Larson family, whose actions seemed to grow more erratic by the day. The Larson family appeared unable to extricate themselves from the accusation, prompting the imperial family to dispatch one of their most formidable battalions.
At the forefront of the group, the commander scanned his surroundings as he stepped out of the teleportation portal. His gaze fell upon the numerous Larson family guards, who stood frozen in shock at the sudden appearance of the battalion. Expanding his senses to their limit, he swept the entire city, his focus soon reaching the Larson family’s mansion complex.
What greeted him there stunned him—a scene of utter devastation and an ominous aura hung heavy in the air. A wave of energy radiated from the site, one he recognized all too well.
"The energy of devils," he thought grimly.
One of the men standing beside him, a cultivator at the low emperor stage, spoke urgently.
"Commander Shang, there’s a massive concentration of devil energy in the Larson family mansion! This isn’t something that could come from ordinary devils!"
"I know," Commander Shang replied. "Then the plan will change. We will—"
Before he could finish, the ground trembled violently, and the ominous aura of devil energy erupted from the mansion complex. A pillar of crimson light shot into the sky, splitting the clouds above. The devil energy spread rapidly, engulfing not only the mansion complex but also spilling out into the entire city.
The moment the residents felt the overwhelming devil energy, panic swept through the streets.
