Gray stored the King-level powerhouse's corpse into his purple ring and filled it with dirt. He then destroyed the teleportation coordinates and teleported back to his tent.
After checking the tent and confirming that no one had entered, Gray erased the teleportation coordinates in the tent.
Although Fitch Violet, Sophia, Francis, and the others already knew that he had the ability to control corpses, the Jewel Kingdom and the Scarlet Kingdom did not know.
He didn't want the people of the two kingdoms to know about this. After all, this ability was a great trump card for him. Especially now that his ability to control corpses was able to control king-level beings, this trump card was even more important.
He trusted Fitch Violet, Sophia, Francis, and the others, but he did not trust the people of the Jewel Kingdom and the Scarlet Kingdom. It was because of this reason that he did not try to control the corpse immediately after Stanley Grinton's death.
Two days later, in a remote town in the Flame Kingdom.
A man in old clothes walked around the town and finally came to a slum with dilapidated houses. After looking around cautiously, he knocked on the door of one of the houses.
His knocking was not continuous. He stopped after two knocks, then three knocks, then two knocks and three knocks alternated, as if it was accompanied by the beat of music.
After a while, the door of the house opened and a man in the same old clothes appeared at the door. After letting the man in, he stuck his head out and looked at the door for a moment before closing the door again.
"What's the situation outside?"
There were more than ten people in the house, all of them wearing old clothes. However, their physiques were stronger and taller than ordinary people, which made the scene feel very out of place.
Among them, an old man looked at the man who came in and asked.
"As expected, the border has been sealed."
The old man's position among the ten or so people should be quite high. The man who came in answered respectfully.
"How are the four lords?"
The old man continued to ask.
"Lord Stanley is dead!"
"What?
Lord Stanley is dead? "
Everyone in the room was shocked and looked at the man who came in.
"Yes, he encountered two King-level powerhouses from the Jewel Kingdom who came as reinforcements. Under their pursuit, he could not escape and was killed on the spot!"
"What about the other three lords?"
"No news yet."
The man who came in shook his head.
"This is not right. The Jewel Kingdom's reinforcements came too quickly. There may be spies from the Jewel Kingdom in the Blaze Fang. We cannot stay here. Move immediately."
The old man's expression was uncertain.
Hearing this, the ten or so people stood.
Suddenly.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the wooden door flew into the room and fell to the ground with a thud. At the same time, a blue figure rushed into the room.
"Who's there?"
The expressions of the dozen or so people changed, and they all reached for their weapons.
A long spear's response.
Puff!
The man who was closest to the blue figure did not even have time to touch his weapon before his heart was pierced by the long spear. Blood splattered everywhere. His hand that was reaching for his weapon froze on the spot and his body went limp.
The man next to him was shocked. He pulled out his sword, which was covered in a green light. A strong wind raged in the room as he slashed his sword at the blue figure.
However, before his sword could land, the blue figure had already pulled out the long spear and pierced his throat.
"Go to hell —"
A bolt of lightning and a bolt of flame attacked the blue figure. The blue figure was like a phantom, disappearing from the spot. The flames and lightning landed on the bodies of the two men who had been killed, and the two men's bodies turned into charcoal.
"We've been discovered. Scatter and run!"
The old man yelled.
When the people in the room heard this, they did not hesitate to smash through the walls and rush out from all directions of the house. However, what was unexpected was that the old man did not smash through the walls and rush out like the other people. Instead, he stayed in the room and observed the outside through the hole he had made.
Puff, puff!
The ten or so people broke the wall and rushed out of the room. What they saw was a person who had been waiting around the room. There were young people and old people. The two sides immediately started fighting. The one who had the upper hand was the person waiting outside. Among the ten or so people, a few were killed on the spot.
Only then did the old man rush out of the room and choose a place with fewer people to escape.
These ten or so people were obviously used as bait.
"Hmph —"
In the direction he was escaping, there was only a black-haired young man. He had a sinister smile on his face. As he ran, he slashed out with the long red sword in his hand.
Suddenly, a red flame that was like a river burned the surrounding ground with scorching heat. It attacked the black-haired young man.
This was a desolate-level attack. He was a Desolate Blood Warrior!
He believed that under this attack, the other party would definitely die. There were very few young people who could block a desolate-level attack. He did not believe that he would meet one.
As long as he could break out of the encirclement, he believed that with the speed of a Desolate Blood Warrior, he could definitely escape.
However, he did not notice the cold eyes of the black-haired young man under the red flame. If he had noticed, he would not be so confident.
Whoosh!
Facing the oncoming red flames, Gray's expression was calm.
Suddenly, a huge river of black fog appeared in front of him. It was dozens of meters wide, and compared to the size of the crimson flames, it was like a small river.
Chi, chi!
Under the huge river of black fog, the red flame river was like a flame that was drowned by water. It was extinguished in an instant. The huge river of black fog did not slow down and crashed towards the old man.
"Desolate-level … Level Two?"
The old man was shocked as he looked at the river of black fog that was still charging at him after the river of red flames had been extinguished.
He originally thought that he had chosen the weakest person. He did not expect that he might be the strongest among the people who came to besiege him. He was actually a Level Two desolate-level Blood Warrior. A feeling called regret arose in his heart.
At the same time, he was extremely shocked. How could someone at such a young age have the strength of a Level Two desolate-level?
"Ah —"
He was surrounded by the black fog river. His clothes and flesh were quickly disappearing. He let out a painful roar and tried to break free from the black fog river. However, he could not break free.
When the river of black mist disappeared, his figure was revealed. At this moment, his body was badly mutilated, and blood was flowing everywhere. His body was covered with shocking wounds.
Before he could catch his breath, he saw his opponent rushing towards him with a huge black sword.
He attacked with a long river of fire and retreated as if he was avoiding a snake or a scorpion. However, the next moment, the long river of fire was cut in half by the huge black sword. His opponent rushed over quickly.
Whoosh!
A huge black sword slashed towards him. However, because of his previous injuries, his movements were slowed down. The huge black sword kept enlarging in his eyes.
Puff!
The huge black sword slashed across his neck. Blood splattered. His head flew up and his body fell down powerlessly.
"This guy has become … stronger!"
A spear pierced through the throat of a Barbarian Blood Warrior, killing him instantly. Sophia looked in Gray's direction, a trace of astonishment appearing on her beautiful face.
A genuine Desolate Blood Warrior was killed so easily by him. In the process, he was not injured at all.
Compared to the battle with the Flame Kingdom, his strength had obviously increased by leaps and bounds.
After a while, the fighting stopped near the ruined house. More than ten corpses lay on the ground silently. There were more than ten people standing near the ruins.
They were Gray, Sophia, Zaloyan, Jessia, Gavin, Elijah, and a few elders from the Purple Moon Kingdom's royal family.
They were here because they were participating in the hunt for the Inferno Fang. This was already the third time they had killed the remaining members of the Inferno Fang.
After the last assassination, the other three King-class experts of the Inferno Fang had successfully escaped from the Jewel Kingdom. Some of the remaining members of the Inferno Fang had escaped, while others had scattered to various parts of the Jewel Kingdom.
Gray and the others naturally hated the Inferno Fang. Hence, they had applied to the Jewel Kingdom to participate in the hunt.
"The Jewel Kingdom's royal family will send people to deal with this. Let's leave this place first!"
A man in his fifties or sixties said.
The man had a medium build. His purple hair was tinged with gray.
The Purple Moon Kingdom had sent a total of two second-stage Desolate Blood Warriors to participate in the Three Kingdoms Exchange. He was one of them.
"Elder, where are we going next?"
Sophia asked.
She had just experienced a massacre, but her blue battle armor was spotless. There was not a speck of dust or blood on it. She looked like an elegant noble lady. She did not fit in with the dozens of corpses lying around.
"Let's go to a hidden stronghold of the Flame Kingdom's spies. The people hiding in the stronghold should not be weak. Be careful."
"Yes."
Everyone nodded ferociously. Their eyes flashed coldly.
This was their revenge!
A day later, Gray and the others appeared in a forest in the Jewel Kingdom.
In the forest, the terrain was undulating. From time to time, they would come across hills that were one to two hundred meters tall.
After climbing over a few hills, they saw a simple stronghold in the forest.
The walls were made of wooden fences. The houses were made of wood. At the entrance and on top of some wooden towers, there were figures in leather armor.
Some of them were holding knives, some swords, and some had bows on their backs. Their weapons were not uniform and looked very messy.
This was a bandit group. They were not large in scale and only had about a hundred people. They would only rob ordinary merchants passing by. They were one of the many bandit groups in the Jewel Kingdom and were very inconspicuous.
However, few people knew that such a small bandit group had a second-stage Desolate-Level Desolate Blood Warrior.
This was a stronghold that the Flame Kingdom had planted in the Jewel Kingdom to gather information. The bandit group was just a cover. Their real identity was the Jewel Kingdom's spies.
