Lu Yunhe stood on the island, gazing at the distant kingdom: "I wonder if they have received news of the king's death?"

Chapter 640 The Chaotic Outer Sea

The capital of the blazing sun!

After Lu Yunhe and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord left, many of the cultivators who had retreated also returned to the kingdom one after another.

The greatest danger has passed, so I believe going back shouldn't be a problem.

After all, shells don't all hit the same crater at the same time.

It's impossible for one demon lord to arrive just now, and then another one arrives right afterward.

Although the Black Prison and the Dark Sea are chaotic, they are not dangerous to this extent, otherwise there wouldn't be so many kingdoms.

"That Chaos City Lord is so strong, he was actually able to suppress the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord."

"However, the fact that he dared to actively pursue the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was still too arrogant. I hope nothing bad happens to him."

The cultivators who returned to the capital were cleaning up the mess they had made during their escape, and also looking to see if they could find any bargains.

For example, if a practitioner has passed away, there is naturally no such thing as inheritance.

There's also the City Lord's Mansion. When the Fire King abandoned the city and fled in the face of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, the original treasures were still in the City Lord's Mansion, which is now empty.

Moreover, the Lord of the Blazing Sun Kingdom has not returned yet. As long as we act quickly enough, there shouldn't be any major problems. In any case, we can push back the demons and stop their rampage.

Strictly speaking, this behavior doesn't qualify as that of a villain; it's more like that of a robber.

With the demons running rampant and the most dangerous Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord lured away, the Blazing Sun Kingdom is now as alluring as a naked young girl.

Some Chaos Realm cultivators and powerful Unity Realm cultivators couldn't suppress their excitement and quickly returned.

Especially after discovering that many people around him shared the same idea, he acted even faster.

The first to strike wins, the last to strike suffers; this kind of behavior is all about speed.

Of course, some people had different ideas and were preparing to show their support for the capital in order to gain favor with the Lord of the Blazing Sun Kingdom.

Protecting and plundering are two roles that can be switched at any time depending on the circumstances.

Just as a group of people rushed back under the pretext of protecting the capital, the Fire King also returned from the other side.

boom!

A figure exuding a powerful aura landed on the main city, coldly watching the approaching cultivators, most of whom were extremely familiar faces.

However, at this moment, many people's eyes were also flashing with intense desire.

In places like the Black Prison and the Dark Sea, those who can grow up are rarely said to have a clean background.

"What are you all doing here? Are you here to welcome the King back?" King Huo Lie said coldly, his aura of the tenth level of the Chaos Realm suddenly erupting.

As a member of the Black Prison Underworld, he naturally knew what these people were thinking, and chose to strike first.

"Fire King!"

The cultivators' eyes showed fear, and their expressions cleared up. If even they could get back in time, then the Fire King would surely be able to.

The latter's formidable strength did indeed dispel the doubts of many people.

“King Fire, the capital is currently under attack by the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, and it is also very dangerous outside. Therefore, we have gathered here to await the King,” said a cultivator.

"May I ask, when will the two rulers be able to return? I fear the demon may launch a second attack."

The cultivators whispered among themselves and asked the most crucial question: the capital had been attacked, so why hadn't the king returned yet?

Since the robbery might fail, they also wanted a stable environment, which was equally important.

Without the presence of the God of the Universe, there is truly no sense of security.

"I have already contacted the two kings. They were also held up by some matters, but they are trying their best to return. They should be back soon," King Huo Lie explained, trying to control his emotions.

"I have informed the king about everything that happened here. I will also record your merits in resisting the demon, and the king will reward you accordingly."

King Huo Lie glanced at the crowd and said seriously, "You can leave now. Think about it, the king wouldn't want to see a group of people gathered here."

"Understood. We hope that King Huolie can put in a good word for us before the King."

Some cultivators, seeing that they could not gain any advantage, began to leave gradually, as the name of the Lord of the Blazing Sun Kingdom still carried considerable intimidation.

Watching the cultivators gradually leave, King Huo Lie also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Both kings are dead!" King Huo Lie was stunned.

After the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord descended, the Fire King abandoned the city and fled immediately. However, he did not escape far and then witnessed the battle between the Chaos City Lord and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

However, even after the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord left, the Firepower King still showed no intention of returning.

He dared not return unless the king came back, for fear that there were other cosmic gods and demons among them.

However, not long after, the Fire King discovered that the power in the divine tokens left on the bodies of the two kings had dissipated, and the only thing that could cause this was death.

The news of the deaths of the two kings nearly scared the Fire King to death.

"Is this specifically targeting my Lieyang Kingdom?"

The Fire King pondered continuously, but thanks to his Chaos Realm mind, he quickly calmed down.

"If the two kings are truly dead!"

The Fire King trembled slightly. With two powerful cosmic gods dead, he, a mere Chaos Realm cultivator, was in grave danger as well.

However, the bold get rich while the timid starve, and even those in the Chaos Realm are not lacking in the courage to risk their lives.

Thinking of the resources in the city lord's mansion, the fear in Fire King's heart was instantly suppressed by another emotion.

"Once I get those resources, I'll find a way to monetize them, then I'll go into seclusion somewhere and never leave until I break through to the level of a Cosmic God."

Fire King thought to himself that he had already reached the peak of the Chaos Realm and was not far from becoming a Cosmic God, so these resources would be of great use to him.

If the king were still alive, he certainly wouldn't dare to covet these resources, but now that the king is dead, things are completely different.

Moreover, given his status, this behavior can at most be considered as inheritance.

"Once I break through to the level of a Cosmic God, I will definitely rebuild the Blazing Sun Kingdom."

King Fire swore an oath in his heart, and then quickly returned to the Kingdom of Blazing Sun. There, he used his status as the king to suppress the pack of hyenas.

"As expected, he still wanted to get a bargain!"

Watching the cultivators gradually depart, Fire King sneered inwardly, then swiftly rushed towards the treasure vault.

He must seize these resources as soon as possible before things are exposed and then leave. He may not be able to keep these people in check for long simply by virtue of the king's name.

"and many more!"

At this point, some of the cultivators who had not yet completely left also quickly realized that something was wrong.

They had originally planned to wait outside for the arrival of the Lord of the Blazing Sun Kingdom, so they didn't go very far before they discovered the Fire King's movements.

"Fire King, you seem to be in a hurry?"

"Why not rebuild the capital?"

……

Many cultivators were puzzled, because the Fire King's actions did not seem to indicate a desire to rebuild the capital and welcome the new king.

As a cultivator, his logical thinking was naturally quite good, and he quickly guessed the possibility.

"The king and his people are in trouble, and it's a big problem."

Some beings in the Chaos Realm had their eyes gleaming, especially those who wandered the main roads and whose wealth was not tied to the Lieyang Kingdom.

"Very likely..."

"Let's do it. At worst, we'll never come to the Blazing Sun Kingdom again, or even the Black Prison Sea."

The Origin Continent is so vast that it's still quite easy for someone in the Chaos Realm to hide.

Although there are techniques like cause and effect and destiny, it is impossible for the Lord of the Blazing Sun Kingdom to cross the continent to hunt down a Chaos Realm cultivator.

"Everyone, this Fire King is fake, he's a demon in disguise. Come with me and capture him."

A Chaos Realm expert shouted, and then the group rushed back again, heading straight for the Fire King.

"Damn, they reacted so quickly!"

Hearing the commotion outside, King Huo Lie cursed inwardly. At another time, he would have been willing to give his life for his country, but he was equally unwilling to make a pointless sacrifice.

The situation of the two rulers is unknown, so the priority should be to preserve the existing strength.

Therefore, the Fire King acted even faster, hastily taking some precious treasures and preparing to leave.

"We've found the Flame King!"

However, as soon as they went out, they encountered the Chaos Realm cultivators who had barged in, and a conflict instantly broke out between the two sides.

Besides the Fire King, the Blazing Sun Kingdom has existed in the Black Prison Sea for so many years, and naturally there are also a group of loyal and devoted people who were the first to resist when the demon invaded. At this moment, they also broke out in conflict with the intruders.

However, they did not know the specifics and could only do their best to resist the invaders, hoping that the king would return soon.

At the same time, the chaos that broke out in the city lord's mansion also instantly affected the other cultivators who were gradually returning and those who were watching from the sidelines.

Seeing the main city reignite with the flames of war, a large number of cultivators rushed back, only to collide again. With differing thoughts, the conflict erupted once more.

Whether it's protecting one's own property, plundering resources, or preventing conflict...

In an instant, the entire island was engulfed in chaos and flames, with all sorts of chaotic energy surging about, even more chaotic than the demon invasion earlier.

At the core of the Fire King, a chaotic battle erupted, with a group of Chaos Realm beings besieging one of them.

Despite his strength at the tenth level of the Chaos Realm, Fire King remained unfazed, but he was unwilling to waste time and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Damn it, the king is coming soon, and then you will all die!" King Fire roared.

Upon hearing this, the attackers all sneered. At this point, they still wanted to threaten them with the Lord of the Blazing Sun Kingdom. It seemed that something serious had indeed gone wrong.

"King Fire, you were just stealing the capital's treasures, weren't you? I wonder if the Lord of Blazing Sun Kingdom will deal with you first or us first when he returns."

"Hand over the treasure now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

While mocking and putting psychological pressure on them, they didn't stop what they were doing.
