Chapter 676: The Situation in the North Isn't Simple
The demon race was not peaceful.
It had been more than a month since the battle between the Demon Emperor and the Great Liang Emperor, yet the Demon Emperor had yet to show himself. With the desolate north now turned into a forbidden zone, speculation about the Demon Emperor's life and death spread throughout the entire demon race.
Before the Demon Emperor set off for the desolate north, nearly all the great demons of the demon race had been highly optimistic about the outcome of this battle. After all, the Great Liang Emperor had previously fought two great powerhouses in succession, leaving him in an undoubtedly weakened state. Meanwhile, their own Demon Emperor was unquestionably the strongest being of this era. Facing a severely injured human emperor, victory had seemed certain. Thus, not a single great demon had raised any objections to this battle. But who could have expected that a battle seemingly guaranteed to be won would end like this?
The desolate north had become a forbidden zone, and the fates of both the Demon Emperor and the Great Liang Emperor remained unknown.
By all accounts, the battle should have concluded. Yet even after its end, the Demon Emperor remained missing, naturally throwing the demon race into turmoil.
After all, the royal city needed a ruler of the demon race to hold down the fort.
But since the desolate north had become a forbidden zone, there was no need to worry about the humans from the south for the time being. The greatest concern now lay within the demon race itself.
As the highest authority beneath the Demon Emperor, the High Priest of the demon race had been working tirelessly to stabilize the situation. Perhaps because the Demon Emperor had previously set a trap to eliminate the great demons who harbored treacherous ambitions, the demon territory had remained relatively peaceful for the time being.
But beneath the surface, hidden undercurrents were undoubtedly surging.
