Chapter 1078: Chapter 729 Threat

Li Changhe entrusted the matters of Xuan City to the Spring Sacrifice and the civil officers of the Great Tang Protectorate. He also ordered attempts to restore the rationality of the residents of the Bottom Nest.

The Great Tang had indeed acquired the technology of the insect god years ago, so perhaps this truly could be attempted.

If successful, Xuan City would have no further worries.

"Then next, it’s time to take a good look at that insect god," Li Changhe said after making arrangements for Xuan City.

Then a soldier informed him that the path to the Bottom Nest had been cleared.

General Hou Junji had already led a large number of soldiers into the Bottom Nest, starting to suppress the surviving Mutants and clear out the hidden aliens.

To ensure that the insect god would have no chance of resistance.

"Hou Junji? He got here fast," Li Changhe was somewhat surprised; he thought Hou Junji had not followed his orders.

"General Hou entered Xuan City with the aerial support brigade," a soldier reported: "After clearing the Bottom Nest passage, he led a battle group to suppress them."

"He wouldn’t be trying to snatch the credit, would he?" a soldier frowned.

"Doesn’t matter, let’s go meet him," Li Changhe said as he put on the Mountain Pattern Armor and donned the Azure Flame mask.

After all, Hou Junji couldn’t stir much trouble anymore.

In fact, after the death of the queen of Xuan City, the insect god had been emitting a wail. It wasn’t so much the wailing of one sorry for another, but wailing over the predicaments to come.

As a half-divine being with overwhelming strength... perhaps even above a demigod.

Even Li Er had to collaborate with the forces of the Blood River to defeat her. When it came to strength, she might be the most potent existence that Li Changhe had ever seen.

Yet now she was under the control of Li Changhe, her life and death hinging on his thoughts.

This made her deeply miserable, but she was also helpless.

When Li Changhe, Xiao Nan, and the others arrived at the Bottom Nest with over a thousand armored warriors, arriving at the frozen battlefield where the insect god resided.

They saw Hou Junji and his soldiers cleaning the frozen battlefield.

Upon Li Changhe’s arrival, the soldiers knelt on one knee, facing Li Changhe.

Hou Junji approached Li Changhe and after saluting said, "You have indeed made it this far. What do you plan to do with the insect god?"

"If possible, of course, kill her," Li Changhe replied, "Don’t forget, we came to subjugate her. Unfortunately, from the look on your face, it seems we won’t have an easy time killing her."

"Indeed, you might be disappointed. His Majesty does not wish for the insect god to die. And... there are other issues. Please, follow me," Hou Junji responded and then proceeded with Li Changhe and the others into the frozen battlefield.

The four players and Hou Junji along with several soldiers approached the insect god.

The insect god was as beautiful as ever, and upon seeing her, Qiu Wentian couldn’t help but marvel at her beauty.

After sizing up the insect god’s exquisite body, he said in a crestfallen manner, "Why, oh why can a non-human entity have a better figure than mine?"

Hou Junji remained silent, and the other soldiers didn’t know whether they should join in the conversation or not.

However, remembering the terrifying scene of Qiu Wentian tearing apart the aliens with his bare hands, they decisively acted as if they hadn’t heard a thing.

Xiao Nan and Chen Yu also did not speak but moved closer to the insect god. The insect god was more vulnerable than ever before.

This gave them a chance to closely investigate the insect god.

However, they also discovered that among the three weapons embedded in the insect god, the shattered battle axe and the twisted Tang Hengdao both possessed a type of powerful Divinity. As everyone drew closer, a subtle disturbance emanated from them.

"Stop looking... If you wish to kill me, I will no longer hide the disturbance from these weapons. Let them detect my presence, locate my whereabouts," the insect god spoke faintly, "You should know, if they come to this world, what kind of catastrophe they will bring."

As her words fell, a huge crimson aura emerged on the bloody battle axe.

In the aura, a very blurry image materialized, showing only a host of golden eyes opening simultaneously.

It seemed as if on the other side, a myriad of troops were poised to tear through the atmosphere and descend upon this world at any moment.

This was... the Chaos army of Blood River!

And within that formidable aura, there was an exceptionally tall figure who seemed to have spotted a wisp of azure flame.

He snorted coldly and said, "Azure flame... Is that Li Ba? You dare to covet the insect god? My lord has lost patience with you, I advise you to behave!"

Through the hazy aura, countless Chaos soldiers roared. Larger shadows emerged, seeming to pose a threat.

A threat to Li Changhe?

"Oh really?" A piercing laugh came from behind the Azure Flame mask: "Just you?"

"Just you?" Xiao Nan raised an eyebrow.

"Just you?" Qiu Wentian grinned.

"Just you?" Chen Yu snorted coldly.

"You think you alone are enough?" The soldiers roared angrily.

Behind Li Changhe, armored warriors raised their battle flags high, as countless soldiers of the Great Tang Expeditionary Army let out war cries.

"Sooner or later, I will present your head to my lord, Li Ba."

"Then you should be glad we’re separated by a screen, idiot." Li Changhe felt like he was dealing with an online troll. It remained to be seen if this Blood River’s God’s Chosen would still have this confidence face-to-face.

Too bad, Old Zhao wasn’t here. Otherwise, he would have argued the opponent into a stroke.

Afterward, the tall figure gradually became obscure: "Insect god, no more... hiding, reveal your location... follow my lord..."

"There’s no need for you to come over, I will be visiting soon enough. I hope there are sufficiently high walls in your world," Li Changhe ended the conversation.

As the words fell, the aura vanished.

The scarlet battleaxe on the insect god was the very weapon left by that tall figure. Its Divinity not only suppressed the insect god but also located it, allowing the Chaos Evil God to find the insect god.

However, this location had been concealed by the insect god. If Li Changhe decided to kill the insect god, she would no longer hide herself, which would bring forth the Evil God’s vast armies. But in doing so, the best outcome would be her capture by the Evil God. The worst... would be death at Li Changhe’s hands before the Evil God even arrived.

"That’s not persuasive enough for me," Li Changhe said in a cold voice.

Subsequently, black aura also emerged from Tang Hengdao.

Figures appeared within the aura, not resembling Li Er but some armored soldier.

This might be... Li Er’s God’s Chosen?

"Hou Junji! Where have you been these thirty years?" the figure bellowed angrily: "Have you betrayed the Great Tang?"

Hou Junji remained silent.

Li Changhe spoke up: "Betrayal? They have been accompanying this general in the campaign against the insect god."

Upon hearing Li Changhe’s voice, the figure’s tone shifted suddenly.

"Is that... General Li Ba? I did not expect to meet you here!"

The figure paused, and it seemed more shadows were moving behind him. After a low murmuring discussion, he said, "Please, do not kill the insect god. Your Majesty needs her, the Great Tang needs her."

"That will depend on whether she knows her place," Li Changhe said ominously: "I at least have to ensure that in my absence, she has no power to rebel."

"Don’t you agree, insect god?"

With that, he took out Old Lead.
