Chapter 749: Hunting Souls in Hell!
Hu Jiu originally wanted to say more, but upon seeing Hu Luo's indifferent expression, he chose not to offer further reminders.
Hu Luo was no longer the same as when he had just become the commander of The Eighth Legion, where he treated every word from Hu Jiu as gospel.
Now, Hu Luo's position was stabilized, and his attitude towards Hu Jiu was no longer as deferential as it had been.
Not long afterward, Hu Jiu saw Qi Yue and Fang Mu, who was walking by Qi Yue's side.
If someone asked Hu Jiu what his first impression of Fang Mu was upon seeing him, Hu Jiu's response would be that the youth appeared overly confident.
His entire demeanor was relaxed, as though any problem he encountered could be effortlessly resolved.
This confidence coincided perfectly with Fang Mu's status as a disciple of the Saint Creator. From Fang Mu's behavior, Hu Jiu became certain of a rumor.
The rumor was that Qixing indeed treated his disciple extraordinarily well; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent this disciple to negotiate with the Sea Clan and then entrusted him with diplomatic missions to the Emperor Beast Court.
Hu Jiu cast a meaningful glance at Hu Luo, implying that when dealing with Fang Mu, they must display great respect toward this human junior.
Because Fang Mu represented Qixing, the Saint Creator of the humans.
Disrespecting Fang Mu was tantamount to disrespecting Qixing.
If this attitude was reported to Qixing, and Qixing attribute it to the Emperor Beast Court's lack of decorum, the consequences would be disastrous!
Although Hu Luo was not particularly mindful with his words, he showed absolutely no carelessness when dealing with Fang Mu.
In terms of etiquette, Hu Luo even outperformed Hu Jiu.
This caused Hu Jiu to see Hu Luo in a new light.
However, Fang Mu's attention did not linger on Hu Jiu or Hu Luo. In his heart, the two of them were minor figures.
Nevertheless, Fang Mu remained polite in his interactions with them.
Fang Mu always remembered his position; he was here as the disciple of Qixing, the Saint Creator, not as Qixing himself.
Therefore, it would not be appropriate to act too ostentatiously.
After nodding in acknowledgment to Hu Jiu and Hu Luo, who had both greeted him proactively, Fang Mu turned and spoke to Qi Yue.
"Miss Qi Yue, the situation is dire. After understanding the circumstances at the dimensional channel's entrance, I must report back to my master and then mobilize forces to resolve the threat at the other end of the channel."
"Time is not on my side!"
"I hope Miss Qi Yue can promptly make arrangements, as it will facilitate resolving this crisis for your Beast Controlling Force as soon as possible."
"The longer this crisis drags on, the more it will hinder subsequent explorations of the Dimensional World!"
"My master has many matters to attend to and cannot afford to dedicate too much time to this situation."
Fang Mu's words were not solely directed at Qi Yue but also toward Hu Jiu and Hu Luo.
The Emperor Beast Court currently held some distrust toward Qi Yue, suspecting that she acted solely in her own interest.
In such an atmosphere, the Emperor Beast Court would likely question the two legion commanders who had interacted with Fang Mu. At that point, Fang Mu's statements, even without Qi Yue's translation, would reach the upper echelon of the Emperor Beast Court.
Given Fang Mu's current relationship with the Emperor Beast Court, they would not dare to disregard his words.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue immediately turned to Hu Jiu and asked.
"What is the current situation at the dimensional channel's entrance? Would it be feasible for me to bring Sir Jianmu there to investigate?"
In Qi Yue's eyes, Hu Jiu, who had been the commander of The Seventh Legion for several centuries, was far more reliable than Hu Luo.
Hu Jiu responded urgently.
"Miss Qi Yue, the entrance currently continues to spew out a large number of dimensional creatures. The soldiers of The Eighth Legion are responsible for eliminating these entities."
"The powerful lifeform whose aura once emanated from the other side of the dimensional channel has not made any further threatening moves while The Seventh Legion was guarding the area, but I cannot confirm the situation now!"
"It may be somewhat dangerous for Sir Jianmu to personally explore the area."
"What would you think of having the two of us investigate the situation first and then report back to Sir Jianmu with complete details?"
Sir Jianmu's status was highly prestigious, and protecting him from any harm inside the Emperor Beast Court was imperative.
After careful consideration, Hu Jiu proposed this idea, but Qi Yue was aware that Fang Mu needed to report the matter to Qixing.
Thus, regardless of the circumstances, Fang Mu was definitely going to visit the dimensional channel's entrance personally.
With that in mind, Qi Yue adopted a solemn tone and said.
"Having you two investigate first is completely different from Sir Jianmu personally exploring the site. How about this: the two of you lead the way and accompany me and Sir Jianmu to examine the situation firsthand."
"Even in the event of danger, with the two of you and myself present, we can ensure Sir Jianmu's safety!"
Qi Yue's statement left both Hu Jiu and Hu Luo heavily burdened.
If no issues arose, they would be fine, but if problems did occur, their actions might not only jeopardize themselves but also bring disaster upon their respective clans!
However, since Qi Yue had already spoken, Hu Jiu and Hu Luo had no means of refusal.
The two grit their teeth and led Fang Mu to the channel's entrance.
Upon arriving at the entrance, Fang Mu saw countless dimensional creatures pouring out from within. Logic dictated that the still-ongoing surge should have significantly lessened by now.
Yet, in reality, not only had the inflow of dimensional creatures not decreased, but also appeared to be intensifying!
It felt as though entities from deeper within were driving these dimensional creatures forward, forcing them to arrive in endless waves!
