"Yes, yes, yes, we are willing to hand over all our supplies. Please, Demon God, show mercy."
Only at this moment did these lone travelers truly understand what a colossal power the Immortal-Demon Kingdom was.
The Immortal-Demon Kingdom had hundreds of powerful demon gods with such earth-shattering auras, and they had actually tried to compete with them for spoils.
This was no different from seeking death.
The lone travelers desperately wished that this demon god would spare them, let them go as if they were just passing wind, and allow them to live.
In truth, they were filled with regret. Tears streamed down their faces, their bodies trembling with fear, utterly terrified.
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined they would encounter a demon god.
However, no matter how much they regretted it, the fact remained that they had made enemies of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom.
While the Immortal-Demon Kingdom did not consider the lone travelers as enemies, these lone travelers had begun to seize the Immortal-Demon Kingdom's spoils. How were they any different from enemies?
Xiao Mo had long since issued orders to the immortal-demons: anyone who foolishly dared to oppose the Immortal-Demon Kingdom was to be killed on the spot.
At this moment, the majestic demon god in the sky spoke, "The Holy Lord cannot be insulted. To snatch the spoils of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom under the Holy Lord's dominion is akin to opposing the Holy Lord."
"Therefore, death is the inevitable outcome."
The demon god spoke coldly, then struck down with his palm. The divine technique condensed from divine power instantly annihilated these deeply regretful lone travelers.
They had no chance to resist. Setting aside the fact that immortal-demon soldiers were exceptionally outstanding within the same cultivation realm, the sheer disparity in their cultivation levels meant this demon god was far superior to the lone travelers below.
Thus, a complete crushing defeat was entirely normal and reasonable. For them to have lasted even a single blow would have been surprising.
After dispatching these lone travelers who had shown disrespect to the great Holy Lord, the ruthless demon god moved on to search other areas for lone travelers, his figure vanishing in an instant.
Simultaneously, similar incidents were occurring throughout various parts of both regions. The deities of the Immortal-Demon Kingdom could effortlessly eliminate all the lone travelers within the two great regions.
It was far too easy for a god to kill mortals; a single palm strike could obliterate hundreds or even thousands of mortals.
...
Somewhere.
"Boss, this is too comfortable. Once we're safe, we'll be able to advance at a breakneck pace."
"Heh heh, naturally."
A group of lone travelers were communicating. These were the same individuals who had spoken of making one last score before retreating.
Now, as they had planned, they were indeed making their escape.
"Boss, the lone traveler chat channel seems a bit off."
One of the lone travelers said to their leader.
Upon hearing this, the leader opened the lone traveler chat channel and was immediately stunned to see a flood of desperate cries for help!
The chat channel was entirely filled with lone travelers claiming to have encountered immortal-demons and pleading with the higher echelons of the Lone Traveler Alliance for rescue.
"Ah, help! A demon god wants to kill me, quick, someone save me!"
"Leader of the Alliance, please, can you come and save me?"
"Leader of the Alliance, if you don't come soon, we're dead."
"The immortal-demons are too powerful, there's no chance to escape."
The faces of this lone traveler team turned grim.
Their leader said, "Our retreat speed must be even faster. Everyone, put in more effort."
The others nodded anxiously, naturally eager to leave as quickly as possible.
After all, they had learned from the chat channel that once caught by the immortal-demon army, death was the only outcome.
Therefore, to survive, they had to leave this area swiftly and flee far away.
Just then, a voice echoed from the sky.
"Where do you think you're going?"
The tone was somewhat mocking, laced with an undeniable divine might.
The lone traveler team froze. They looked up and saw a true immortal radiating divine light, enveloped in swirling celestial energy.
"It's over."
The lone traveler team despaired.
"Sir, can you spare us? We are willing to be your oxen and horses for the Immortal-Demon Kingdom!"
"Yes, yes, as long as we can live, we'll do anything for the Immortal-Demon Kingdom!"
"We beg for your mercy, sir."
The lone traveler team immediately prostrated themselves, their faces filled with panic. They had never imagined that even they would encounter a true immortal.
This trouble was truly insurmountable.
Especially the leader, who understood that the higher-ups of the Lone Traveler Alliance would never concern themselves with their fate.
The true immortal in the sky let out a cold laugh, then pointed a finger, a blinding light descending upon those who disrespected the Holy Lord.
With a thunderous roar that shook the very earth, those individuals were reduced to a bloody pulp.
"This is the consequence for those who disrespect the Holy Lord."
The true immortal's flawless face was icy cold. After uttering these words, he left to continue his search for the next group.
In fact, as the deceased leader had suspected, the higher-ups of the Lone Traveler Alliance truly did not care about the lives of these foolish lone travelers.
They said, "Since we've been discovered, the rest is up to fate."
"When you chose to participate in this mission, it meant you were willing to pay the price of your lives. Should this outcome be surprising?"
"After all, if successful, the benefits you would gain are considerable. Thus, in reality, you weren't acting solely on our orders, but for your own sakes."
These were the responses from the higher-ups of the Lone Traveler Alliance.
They believed that the lone travelers should bear the consequences of their own actions, and it had nothing to do with them.
Upon seeing these words, the lone travelers still in the highland and icefield regions were stunned. Some fainted directly from anger, while others saw stars.
This was because a significant portion of the supplies they acquired would be handed over to the Lone Traveler Alliance.
This was akin to them working their lives away for the Lone Traveler Alliance, yet the higher-ups who reaped the greatest rewards paid no heed to their lives.
Therefore, they were extremely angry but powerless to do anything.
All they could do was curse them relentlessly for their shamelessness.
This was also because they could only curse and could do nothing else.
After all, they were currently under siege by the Immortal-Demon Kingdom.
Whether they could survive was still a question.
In fact, these people were unaware that their end had already been sealed.
This was because the divine senses of the deities dispatched by the Immortal-Demon Kingdom were incredibly powerful, spreading out to cover both regions completely.
Therefore, not a single lone traveler could evade the divine senses of the deities and escape.
Time passed quickly. In just over half an hour, all the lone travelers within the two regions were wiped out by the deities.
