The desolate southern region is filled with endless barren mountains and wilderness.

Crofts led his men to chase Tian Jun deep into the southern region, and there was almost no one to be seen.

Occasionally, only the roars of monsters hiding deep in the water could be heard.

Crofts is determined to win over Tian Jun.

He originally thought that if he personally took action, everything would be safe, but he underestimated Tian Jun and did not expect that the other side would escape at the last moment.

His clone was stationed in the imperial city, and he couldn't let the other party escape easily, so he blocked all the news and followed Tian Jun's trail to this place.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, which was not detectable in normal situations, but it could not be hidden from Crofts.

"Tian Jun, come out, you can't escape."

The only response he got was dead silence.

Crofts' face was gloomy, he didn't have much time.

At this moment, the communication device he was carrying rang, and the trembling voice of Lord Hill was heard.

"My lord, something terrible has happened. Two great monarchs of Ritter have been killed. At least two Mahayana monks are killing people everywhere. Many cities have been uprooted... If you don't come back, our power in the South Region will be destroyed. There is also bad news. The sacrifice plan has failed, and Boyd is dead."

Crofts's expression became increasingly gloomy as Lord Hill spoke, and in the end, a burst of terrifying rage erupted from his body.

"Who did it?"

"The two human Mahayana masters look very unfamiliar. I don't know where they suddenly appeared from."

Crofts slowly closed his eyes, and then opened them again, with a burst of anger in his eyes: "Gao Han, Zhongli Tingzhou!"

There were two unfamiliar human Mahayana masters, and they happened to be in the Southern Region. Apart from Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou who advanced in the Fallen Land, he couldn't think of anyone else.

"Sir, do we still need to pursue Tian's army?" The subordinates had never seen the city lord so angry, and they did not dare to speak loudly.

"Go back!" Crofts gritted his teeth. If he didn't go back, all the demons in the southern region would be killed.

Tian Jun is important, but it will take some time to find him. If we waste this time, whether we can find him or not is another matter. By the time we find him, all the demons in the Southern Region will probably be dead.

Tian Jun didn't know that Crofts had been led away by Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou.

Crofts was determined to capture him alive, so he didn't even dare to show his face. He found a place and hid there to recuperate.

He ignored the demons' pleas for mercy and destroyed another demon city.

Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly looked at the void behind him.

"Is it coming?" Gao Han said with understanding.

"Probably, a very strong person is coming in less than a minute." Zhongli Tingzhou's face showed a trace of solemnity.

After all, the other party is a great monarch-level powerful being who has reached the great perfection, not a cat or dog that can be killed at will.

Gao Han frowned: "Crofts? Did you discover our presence so quickly?"

The two of them had just destroyed a few cities, and this time they came back too quickly.

"Demons also have special ways of transmitting messages. If you don't come back, all the demons in the Southern Region will die." Zhongli Tingzhou sneered.

"We are no match for him."

"Then set a trap and seize the initiative first."

Gao Han was worried that the gap between them and Crofts was too big. The other party had been famous for thousands of years and was a powerful man who had reached the state of great perfection. He was only one step away from becoming the Demon Emperor.

The talent of a demon who is thousands of years old must be incomparable to that of an ordinary great monarch-level demon. At that time, the other party was most likely also a top genius.

"Trap? What can you do?"

Zhongli Tingzhou curled his lips and said, "I have a good idea."

After a while, the appearance of the two men changed drastically. They were no longer handsome humans, but demons with green faces and fangs.

"Is this the method you mentioned?" Gao Han was speechless. "Crofts is not an ordinary strong man. Even with our disguise, he can still sense us from our breath."

"Don't you have something called Exorcist Grass in the Spirit Plant Fairy's medicine garden? This thing should be able to confuse people temporarily."

Exorcist grass is not a magical medicine, but a magical herb with a special smell that emits a foul odor. This smell is particularly effective against monsters, but it is not used to deal with demons.

"We just need an opportunity to strike first." Zhongli Tingzhou said confidently.

Gao Han thought for a moment, "There is only one chance. We must wait until Crofts' clone is killed by Elder Jiu."

"Of course." Zhongli Tingzhou snapped his fingers, "So we are just two ordinary demons now, with cultivation only at the Grand Lord level."

The Grand Lord level is neither too high nor too low. Since he can't even get close to Crofts, he won't get too close and be discovered all at once.

Gao Han didn’t know whether this method would work or not, so he could only give it a try.

In fact, they have another choice, which is to leave now and go directly to find Elder Tian.

But this was also the only chance to kill Crofts.

As long as Elder Jiu kills Crofts' clone and seriously injures Crofts' real body, they will have a chance. Otherwise, if Crofts hides and his injuries are healed, all their hard work will be wasted.

Gao Han was not willing to miss such a good opportunity. The death of Crofts might change the course of the battle in the demon battlefield.

A few minutes later, Crofts returned.

Along the way, he had seen with his own eyes the destroyed demon cities. The other side was extremely cruel and did not spare even the young and the old.

Crofts sneered repeatedly. He really underestimated the two young men. They were even more ruthless than them.

"Sir..." Seeing his angry look, Lord Hill didn't dare to step forward and offend him.

"Where are they?" Crofts closed his eyes.

Lord Hill knew who he was asking about, and said anxiously, "They disappeared. After I notified you, I could still sense their presence for a while, but then there was no news of them. They must have heard of your reputation and hid themselves, or escaped."

This time, everyone hoped that the two human monks would come out to confront the adults head-on, but they didn't expect that they actually hid themselves cunningly.

Lord Hill glanced at Crofts and saw that he was becoming increasingly uneasy as his expression became calmer.

"Twelve cities were massacred this time, and only a few people escaped."

"Lord Hill, you knew they were slaughtering our city, why didn't you stop them?" Crofts' men said angrily.

Lord Hill saw that Crofts didn't say anything, and his heart skipped a beat. "Ritter was forced to self-destruct in a very short time. If I went there too, I wouldn't be able to escape. I still have to be responsible for my people. Please forgive me, sir."

Crofts glanced at him coldly, "Don't do it again, otherwise you won't be the city lord anymore. Send someone to track down their whereabouts immediately, as long as they haven't left the Southern Region. As for you, since you don't dare to confront them, go after the Tian army."

Lord Hill heaved a sigh of relief, "Yes, sir, I will lead people to hunt down this man immediately."

Tian Jun was seriously injured by the adults, and his chances of winning are very high. This task is very simple, as long as he avoids killing the human monk Ritt.

As soon as he left, Crofts' subordinates immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

"Sir, this Lord Hill is really afraid of death. If he can entangle them when you arrive and buy you some time, it may be possible to save the two of them."

"It is useless to say more now. I have a feeling that those two people should not have left the Southern Region yet. Send the order immediately. If you find any trace of them, report it immediately."

After a bad start, Crofts needed someone to vent his anger.

Even though Lord Hill angered him, he was a great monarch after all. He had already lost several and could not afford any more losses.

"yes!"

Yet for some reason, Crofts always had an uneasy feeling that something more uncontrollable was about to happen.

Heba City.

A second-rate demon city.

The highest level of the demons that rule this city is no more than the monarch level.

Because of its remote geographical location, it luckily escaped the massacre.

All the demons in the city breathed a sigh of relief.

When they heard that one demon city after another was massacred by the human race, they were all worried that it would be Heba City's turn. Fortunately, God was kind to them.

On this day, two fleeing demons appeared on the streets of the city.

Two demons were walking down the street, and there was almost no other demon within a hundred meters.

Even the demons that had just walked out of the shops on both sides of the street quickly retreated.

"Wow, what is this disgusting smell?"

"It smells like a sewer. It's so bad that I'm suffocating."

"I'm suffocating, someone come and save me!"

Some people who didn't believe in evil deliberately approached the two demons, wanting to challenge what the worst smell in the entire continent was like. As a result, they were suffocated to death by the smell. After that, no one dared to challenge them again.

"Brother, which city are you from? Why does it taste so good? Is this the specialty of your city?"

Some demons had their noses stuffed with two pieces of cloth before they dared to approach them.

"Don't mention it. Our city is very unlucky. We are very close to a city that was massacred. Everyone was worried that they would be the next one. We escaped before those two murderers came. As a result, our city was really massacred, and everyone else who didn't have time to escape died." Zhongli Tingzhou replied with a sigh.

"Then you are so lucky, why does it create such a bad smell?"

"We saw a magical herb on the road and thought it could restore our magic power, but when we ate it, we found out that it was a magical herb that could drive away monsters. We were so depressed."

"Haha, so that's how it is. That's such a pity. This kind of spiritual herb is so effective. It must be very effective against monsters."

Those who figured out the reason couldn't help but gloat over it.

"It's a pity that you are not destined to get rich, otherwise you could make a fortune using this herb."

Zhongli Tingzhou waved his hand, "Let's not talk about sad things. I don't know when this feeling will disappear."

The demon patted his shoulder and said, "May the best of luck to you, brother."
