The two traveled at high speed and soon arrived at Hydra's territory.
It was a vast wetland, shrouded in an endless expanse of purple poisonous miasma, with strangely shaped trees growing within it and large areas of jagged rocks.
Above the wetlands, heavy clouds hung in the sky, like a huge black curtain obscuring the sunlight, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the wetlands intact and without any signs of fighting.
"It seems that the envoy has not yet arrived here."
The swordsman beside him sneered, "Of course, with his strength, his speed can't possibly be faster than ours."
"Let's say less. The envoy will probably be here soon. We don't want him to hear us."
The swordsman remained silent, but the sarcasm in his eyes was unmistakable. He detested those who overestimated themselves and looked down on everyone else, who in the end only caused trouble for others.
The two waited for a while, but Fang Xiu did not appear.
The old man sensed something was wrong: "Why hasn't the envoy arrived yet?"
The swordsman's expression also turned somewhat grim: "Could it be that he arrived a long time ago, only to encounter Hydra and be instantly killed, thus leaving no trace of the battle?"
The two exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of unease.
The envoy from the Supreme Heaven died in the Great Wilderness Domain, so this domain lord's reign is probably coming to an end.
"It's also possible that the envoy didn't dare to come at all, but in any case, we must go and check it out, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
The swordsman nodded: "That's the only way. People from above are always so troublesome. They don't even know the basic situation of the Great Wilderness Region. How dare they do this?"
"Alright, use the concealment technique. Under no circumstances should the Hydra discover us. Remember, we're going to investigate the envoy's whereabouts, not to fight."
Then, the two used the art of concealing their breath, carefully entering the wetlands.
The two were enveloped by a terrifying purple miasma. They dared not relax for a moment and kept urging their own power to protect their bodies and keep the poison gas out.
As the two continued deeper into the area, their movements became increasingly subtle, as they dared not make the slightest noise.
"Lord of the Domain, shall we continue forward? Just ahead lies the lair of the Hydra," the swordsman transmitted his voice, his tone grave, clearly indicating that his nerves were stretched to the limit.
Only those who have faced Hydra directly know how terrifying it is.
The old man gazed at the enormous cave hidden deep within the poisonous fog, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Let's go."
Like thieves breaking into a house in the dead of night, the two tiptoed toward the Hydra's lair. As they got closer, their hearts were in their throats.
Finally, the two successfully entered the cave.
"Huh? Why is the poison gas in the cave so thin?"
"It's not just the poison gas; have you noticed that the demonic energy here is also weakening? Could it be...?"
The two exchanged a surprised glance and came to a conclusion.
"Hydra has gone out on business!?"
The old man tried to unleash his senses and prepared to flee at any moment. He began to explore the cave, only to find that there was no sign of the Hydra.
"Phew!" He let out a long breath: "It seems we're really lucky today. Hydra isn't in its lair. It seems the envoy arrived here early, only to find Hydra wasn't there, so he left. Let's go then."
The old man turned to leave, but after taking only two steps, he realized that the swordsman behind him had not followed, so he turned back to look.
But the swordsman stood motionless, staring intently into the depths of the cave.
"How could you..." the old man said, following the swordsman's gaze, only to freeze instantly.
"This...this is..."
Deep inside the cave, on the ground, there was an enormous collapse, a hundred feet deep, filled with remnants of flesh and broken snake scales.
If you look closely, you can even see a blurry snake-shaped mark inside.
Both of them were seasoned immortals and gods, so naturally they couldn't possibly be unaware of how these marks were formed.
"Lord of the Domain, take another look up there." The swordsman swallowed hard and pointed to the ceiling, where a hole about the size of a person was suspended above the cave.
The two exchanged a glance, and images even flashed through their minds.
A man descended from the sky like a god, pierced through the Hydra's cave, and then stepped on the Hydra's enormous body, crushing it to the ground.
It's easy to see from the fallen scales and bits of flesh that the Hydra must have struggled violently, but in the face of that person's absolute power, any struggle was futile.
Ultimately, Hydra was brutally suppressed.
Crushing! Crushing from start to finish!
"Could this have been done by the envoy himself?" the swordsman asked incredulously.
"Should be...maybe...perhaps?" The old man was equally incredulous, finding it utterly unbelievable that a mere rank 5 early stage envoy could instantly kill a rank 5 peak hydra?
You must know that this hydra once faced two fifth-rank immortals, including himself, without being at a disadvantage.
The swordsman gasped. If it really was the envoy who did it, then he was half right. He had indeed not survived a single move and was instantly killed. However, it was not the envoy who was instantly killed, but the Hydra.
"Where is the envoy going now?"
The old man recalled that Fang Xiu had taken away the map containing all the Heavenly Demon Gods near the Great Wilderness Domain, and an absurd idea began to rise in his mind.
Is Your Excellency planning to wipe out all the Heavenly Demons and Gods in a single day?!
"Let's go to another Heavenly Demon God's lair."
The two transformed into two beams of immortal light and sped towards the other lairs of the Heavenly Demon Gods.
A day later, the two of them, as if they had lost their souls, staggered back to the Great Wilderness.
I'm numb! I'm so shocked I'm numb!
Because they searched all day but couldn't find the envoy, and of course, they also couldn't find a single demon god.
All the Heavenly Demon Gods, Demon Gods, and even the spawning demons around the Demon God's lair in the vicinity of the Great Wilderness Domain have disappeared.
They didn't even have a chance to see the Heavenly Demons one last time.
The level of cleanliness surpassed even that of the Great Wilderness itself, since souls sometimes become possessed by demons in the Great Wilderness.
