Chapter 367: Falling Into The Putrid Corpse Land May Not Be A Bad Thing
When it came to understanding Abyssal Demons, no one surpassed the military.
After years of relentless battles against these beings, the military had amassed extensive knowledge, not just about the Demons themselves but also the peculiar items they left behind. Among these were stone-like creations, including the Sealbreaker Fire Stone.
Forged with Abyssal Fire, the Sealbreaker Fire Stone possessed the power to break seals, barriers, and formations.
The mere presence of such an item changed the nature of this incident.
The enmity between the human race and the Abyssal Demons was absolute. Any association with the Abyss was tantamount to treason—a crime punishable by death.
The use of a Sealbreaker Fire Stone left a trace of abyssal aura that lingered for ages. Similarly, meddling with formations left evidence visible to a Formation Master of Meng Anwen’s caliber.
Guided by Meng Anwen, Dongfang Yi arrived at Dongfang Tuo’s quarters, only to find them abandoned. Dongfang Shun was also missing.
All that remained was a Substitution Puppet, its aura meticulously crafted to mimic Dongfang Tuo’s. This puppet had been used to mask his escape and conceal the lingering abyssal aura.
“He’s gone!” Dongfang Yi’s face darkened.
The implications were staggering. A member of the royal family collaborating with the Abyss was an unprecedented disgrace for the Dongfang Family—a scandal of monumental proportions.
Meng Anwen’s sneer was sharp as a blade, “I’ll issue a military-wide wanted notice. As for the empire’s response, that’s for you to handle. But mark my words—if anything happens to Moyu, you will face the consequences.”
With that, Meng Anwen departed, his murderous aura hanging heavily in the air.
