Chapter 727: Qi Man's Report! _2
Under the combined torment of mental, soul, and heart attacks, relying solely on its subjective willpower, the dual-headed serpent had already lost its threat toward Fang Mu.
Fang Mu needed to command multiple dead creatures simultaneously. After directing the Cursed Mermaid, he issued a command for the Cursed Mermaid to act independently—attacking and restricting enemies.
The Cursed Mermaid hadn't engaged in battle for a long time, and deep down, it yearned for combat.
Now that it had been summoned by Fang Mu, it seized this opportunity to showcase itself in front of him.
Consequently, the Cursed Mermaid unleashed its exclusive ability [The Heartless Princess], followed by [The Affectionate Princess]. Using Bloodline Power, it attempted to charm the dual-headed serpent.
Its first attempt at charm failed—the dual-headed serpent did not develop affectionate feelings. However, its soul momentarily experienced stagnation.
Seizing this opportunity, Fang Mu's other dead creatures launched a coordinated assault against the dual-headed serpent.
Despite its massive size, the dual-headed serpent's rank and quality could not withstand the ruthless attacks of Fang Mu's Diamond Level Legendary Quality dead creatures.
In the very instant Fang Mu's Guardian Beasts struck, the dual-headed serpent suffered severe injuries.
What Fang Mu initially presumed would be a protracted battle was abruptly concluded as the serpent fell under continuous control and attacks.
This battle drove the viewership in Fang Mu's livestream to peak levels, while the defeated Wang Haiyang had already left the arena.
Wang Haiyang was in a state of shock, impressed by the overwhelming strength Yan Luo exhibited in combat.
It could be said that Yan Luo's capabilities exceeded Wang Haiyang's understanding.
However, Wang Haiyang could not help feeling a sense of dissatisfaction with his own loss.
If Yan Luo did not possess those dead creatures capable of targeting the mind, spirit, and soul, perhaps Wang Haiyang might have had the power to compete.
Taking a deep breath to gather his composure, Wang Haiyang began checking the state of his own livestream channel.
Wang Haiyang had expected to gain very few followers from the match due to the quick pace of his remarks.
But upon seeing the size of his fanbase, Wang Haiyang was astonished to find that the number of his followers had doubled.
Though Wang Haiyang only joined the Second World relatively late, he had been livestreaming matches in the combat division for nearly a month.
Yet somehow, a single duel against Yan Luo doubled the size of his fanbase and increased his livestream viewership more than tenfold!
Although he had lost the match, the messages in his fan group remained overwhelmingly positive.
"Hang in there, streamer! Losing to Yan Luo is no shame. I fell for your two pythons right away!"
"I love serpent beasts the most! But they usually rely on poison in battle. It's rare to find a serpent beast that fights with brute strength like yours—I can't wait to see how you'll grow in the future!"
"Welcome, everyone! Now that you're part of Haiyang's fan group, we're all family. You can just call the streamer Haiyang online!"
"Haha, I'll be more straightforward than all of you. I like those two serpent beasts for their sheer size! If it weren't for Yan Luo, they could probably crush any other Diamond Level beast hands down!"
Wang Haiyang was someone who valued honesty. At this moment, his joy and excitement stemmed not from riding on Yan Luo's fame, but from realizing that this battle alone was enough to double or triple his earnings moving forward.
He calculated that based on his newfound income potential, his two Dread Giant Pythons could likely reach Legendary Quality within three years.
Previously, Wang Haiyang had never even dared to dream of elevating his pythons to Legendary Quality.
Fang Mu, meanwhile, intended to queue up and engage in a few more matches. But just as he was about to begin matchmaking, he received a message from Hu Tao in the Second World.
[Hu Tao]: Ah Mu, Uncle Feng asked me to tell you that someone from the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan has come looking for you. Do you have time to meet with this person?
When Jun Feng told her to notify Fang Mu, Hu Tao was quite surprised.
Fang Mu was currently engrossed in matches within the Second World, and Hu Tao realized that Jun Feng must have believed this matter to be extremely pressing to interrupt him.
Not daring to waste time, Hu Tao logged into the Second World and contacted Fang Mu immediately.
The Beast Taming Tribes were countless, and with Hu Tao's level and perspective, she had never heard of the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan before.
However, she didn't regard the visitor from the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan as a VIP.
After all, the person from the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan treated Jun Feng with excessive deference.
Hearing this, Fang Mu's expression turned one of surprise.
Jun Feng had met Qi Yue before. If Qi Yue were the one coming to see him, Jun Feng would have informed him directly!
The fact that Jun Feng didn't mention Qi Yue suggested that the visitor from the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan was not Qi Yue.
Fang Mu silently speculated—could something have occurred with the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan?
Thinking of this, Fang Mu left the Second World immediately, ending his livestream.
Over nine digits' worth of viewers in Yan Luo's livestream were left staring at the now-closed stream, baffled by Yan Luo's decision to end broadcasting at its peak popularity. They couldn't help but lament Yan Luo's audacity.
Any other streamer would have done everything possible to seize such an opportunity, but Yan Luo evidently had the luxury to be willful.
Despite having seemingly countless fans, Yan Luo's audience engagement was among the strongest for any streamer of his rank.
This loyalty likely stemmed not only from Yan Luo's strength and youth but also from the giveaways held in his fan group.
The raffle events in Yan Luo's fan group were enough to solidify their dedication.
After exiting the Second World, Fang Mu rushed to the conference room and instructed Liu Yi to notify Jun Feng to bring the visitor from the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan.
Fang Mu grew increasingly curious about what might have happened with the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan.
Unless something extraordinary had occurred, the person seeking him out should have been Qi Yue herself, not some unknown member of their clan.
Jun Feng, upon receiving Liu Yi's message, immediately escorted the visitor from the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan to the conference room where Fang Mu was waiting.
The moment the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan member saw Fang Mu, they bowed deeply, then hurriedly spoke up.
"Sir Jianmu, I am the third-in-line Executive Elder of the Praying Sky Cang Lu clan's Elder Council and the deputy to Lady Qi Yue."
"I've come to deliver a secret pertaining to the Emperor Beast Court."
"Lady Qi Yue is currently attending a meeting inside the Emperor Beast Court and specially dispatched me to report this matter to you!"
As Qi Man spoke, their tone carried notable unease, fearing that Fang Mu might find their manner unsatisfactory.
Hearing this, Fang Mu adopted a serious tone.
"If Qi Yue personally sent you to deliver this message, it must be of significant importance!"
"Now that you've met me, you may speak without hesitation."
Qi Man, who was initially hesitant about how to broach the subject, felt even more anxious after sensing the gravity in Fang Mu's words.
Letting go of any reservations, Qi Man began to explain everything without embellishment.
"Sir Jianmu, the Emperor Beast Court oversees a dimensional passage that connects to a Dimensional World. For unknown reasons, a large number of dimensional beasts have suddenly emerged from this passage."
"The tide of beasts is eerily similar to the surges that erupted across the Han Yang Empire."
"The entire Emperor Beast Court is currently working to devise a countermeasure against this beast tide!"
Finishing their report, Qi Man restrained themselves from bringing up anything Qi Yue had not explicitly authorized, though they silently harbored the desire to ask for Fang Mu's assistance in finding a solution for the Emperor Beast Court.
Fang Mu's face briefly showed surprise at the news, but a knowing smile soon emerged.
Fang Mu had always aimed to involve not only the Sea Clan but also the Beast Controlling Forces in the Dimensional World's affairs.
The only hurdle had been finding the right opportunity, as the Emperor Beast Court had previously shown clear reluctance to collaborate with humans.
