Chapter 403: Arriving at the Ruins
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xu Yuan and Su Wan were worried about the situation in the ruin and headed toward the location on the map.
The residents weren’t worried. They knew that no matter what happened, Xu Yuan and Lord Su Wan would return victorious.
The territory’s victory till now had set the tone. They didn’t believe anyone was capable of defeating their Lord.
Su Wan only took Xu Yuan and a few other troops.
This time, the territory broke through to level 4. Xu Yuan strived to break through to Level 100 as soon as possible.
Su Wan’s combat power had increased significantly as well.
They flew at full speed in the direction of the collapsed ruins.
Xu Yuan decided to use the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing because the troops weren’t flying fast enough. Dark energy enveloped the troops and made them stronger and more agile.
The speed greatly increased. Su Wan looked at her troops and felt very proud of them. They had come a long way. Her troop was her family.
Su Wan messaged the Hyena to keep an update on the situation.
The Hyena and his troops were indeed reliable. They gave her detailed information on whatever was happening there.
As time passed, the situation in the ruins became worse. Although the Hyena had a significant number of troops, the pressure brought on by the enemies was formidable. The Lords were forced to retreat.
After flying for a long time, Su Wan’s troop finally approached their destination.
Watching more and more marks appear on the System Map raised Su Wan’s spirit.
The ruins seemed to be connected to the bottomless abyss, and numerous high-level demons had appeared inside!
The Lords were even forced to retreat into the swamp and were about to leave the collapsed ruins.
The Level 88 Bottomless Abyss had opened up a passage to the Death Swamp. Many demons had appeared on the Main Plane, posing a serious threat to the safety of Canglan City. The legendary Archduke Qing You had given an order for all the Lords to immediately send troops to eliminate the demons.
The Lords had accepted this mission. Some had accepted it out of compulsion because Canglan City would otherwise see them as traitors. If they didn’t help the city, they would be charged five times the tax while trading in Canglan City.
During the mission, the experience points gained from killing the demons would be increased by five times!
Every Demon killed will be added to the Lord’s panel as Canglan City Contribution Points, which can be exchanged for high-level treasures in Canglan City.
The lord who sealed the abyssal passage would be rewarded personally by the Lord of Canglan City, Archduke Qing You.
[Time limit for the regional mission: 3 days.]
‘Regional mission?’ This was the first time Su Wan had heard of something like this. ‘What happens if no one can get rid of the demons in three days? Will Archduke Qing You personally visit to get rid of them?’
Su Wan had never seen Archduke Qing You before. She wanted to know how a legendary ascetic fought demons.
[The Hyena: Lord Su Wan, did you receive the regional mission?]
[Su Wan: Yes. I’ll be there soon.]
[The Hyena: Alright, we’ll wait for you!]

“Retreat!”
“There are so many demons. We can’t fight them all!”
“Be careful! These demons are of Level 64!”
In the collapsed ruins, numerous Lords led their troops to fight the demons.
Looking down from the sky, the demons looked like a black tide that swept everything away. Their roars resounded throughout the area.
The high-level demons had an oppressive aura. They represented the abyssal form of evil. The aura felt like a giant hand that strangled their necks and made it difficult to breathe. There were simply too many demons.
The Lords tried to block the incoming demons with all their might.
Lords who commanded Light-Types troops cast spells and chants to stop their onslaught. Human archers pulled their bows taut and let the arrows fly. The Beastmen swung their axes and hammers. No matter what they tried, they couldn’t even make an ounce of difference. The demons were numerous. The Lords were forced to retreat step by step.
The Lords wouldn’t normally get involved in big fights like these. However, they all came to contribute because they wanted to earn contribution points and EXP.
Su Wan saw the grand battle that stretched for dozens of kilometers. It was rare to see so many Lords and troops fighting together.
She wasn’t interested in getting involved right now. Contribution points were of no use to her. She only worried about the Lavender Business Guild, and Bayion was helping take care of it.
Su Wan flew in another direction. She approached the Hyena and the others hiding behind a collapsed building.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan landed in front of them.
The Hyena, Knight Li, and the other two Lords saw them.
“Lord Su Wan!”
They were glad and relieved to see her.
“Do you know why the demons suddenly appeared?” asked Su Wan.
“No… Two days ago, a Lord sent a message saying that many demons had appeared here, so they were paying extra attention in this area,” said Knight Li.
They informed her that the number of demons hadn’t been anything alarming in the beginning. However, it had gradually increased. Knight Li then sent a message to the Hyena to team up and fight the demons. That had triggered the regional mission.
Xu Yuan frowned. According to the Lords who had given them the location of the ruins containing the Dark demonic Tree, there was nothing significant in this area. How had things suddenly become uncontrollable?
‘Is this related to the Crimson Moon?’
Too many things had happened in the past few days that it didn’t seem like mere coincidence. One way or another, the Crimson Moon was always at the center.
“Don’t go near the center. There might be a powerful demon hero inside. Try to investigate the outer areas to find out why the demons have suddenly appeared,” said Su Wan. “I have something important to do right now. I don’t have time.”
The combined combat ability of the Lords in front of her could only be considered average. They couldn’t fight, so Su Wan instructed them to find information..
