Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 430: Chapter 220: Is There Really a Buddha?

”Plop.”

The Alien Civilization Envoy’s robust body fell to the ground. He raised his head, his blood-red eyes staring defiantly at the Asura and Garuda before him, scrutinizing these powerful beings without any hint of fear.

Simultaneously, the moment his restraints were undone, his body began to rapidly heal. The pierced bones knitted back together, and tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels were all reconstructing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

”Oh?”

This scene made the Asura raise an eyebrow.

”Such a strong life force, what is your connection with that red creature?”

He inquired.

The life force of the person before him was something only previously sensed in the red creature he had just fought; the two were probably related.

At the same time, he was puzzled internally, as he knew the world here inside out but had no clue where this man and the previous red creature had emerged from.

Faced with the Asura’s condescending interrogation, the Alien Civilization Envoy merely smirked disdainfully and said, ”Ignorant Abyssal Native.”

The Asura did not get angry, just silently awaited the other party’s words.

The sudden increase in power and the appearance of successive formidable enemies made him realize that a change had indeed taken place in the world he existed in.

Seeing the Asura’s calm demeanor, the Alien Civilization Envoy was somewhat surprised, then swiftly stowed away his contempt, quickly saying, ”The opponent you just fought was a Civilization Envoy here to take part in the Trial.”

He then succinctly explained the Abyss, Trial, and the relationship between Chu Xiu and himself.

The words of the Alien Civilization Envoy made the Asura and Garuda widen their eyes in disbelief.

After all, the information was so astonishing that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it completely reshaped their worldview.

”Why should we believe you?”

”You should be able to sense the presence of the Abyss, and the power of the ’Rule’ in me. There is no reason for me to deceive you.”

The Asura took a deep breath, pondering it over in his mind, already believing seven to eight parts of the Alien Civilization Envoy’s words.

He then quickly processed this information and grasped the key point: ”So the red creature actually wants to take the humans of this place away? Which seems not to conflict with our purpose.”

The Alien Civilization Envoy sneered, ”That may be right, but there is one thing you overlook, which is that you Abyssal Natives are seen by the other side as enticing targets, offering huge benefits by eliminating you.”

”Are you sure they won’t stab you in the back at critical moments?”

His words once again brought a change to the expressions of Asura and Garuda, showing thoughtful contemplations.

If Chu Xiu were here, he’d secretly be relieved not to have entertained ideas of negotiation, as fundamentally irreconcilable differences existed between him and Asura and the others—akin to how a hunter and prey could never fully cooperate.

Without the Alien Civilization Envoy, Chu Xiu might have found a way to keep it hidden, but with this significant variable present, the path could only lead to a life and death showdown.

Indeed, after some deliberation, Asura quickly made a decision and nodded.

Suddenly, he threw a punch, directly shattering the Alien Civilization Envoy’s skull!

Blood, brain matter, and bone fragments mixed and splattered like a burst watermelon.

The Alien Civilization Envoy’s soul rose from the shattered body, yet he did not get angry but instead exuded an amused mental laughter.

”A correct choice!”

”You have no other option but to join me in dealing with that Civilization Envoy.”

”Besides, you’ll also gain many benefits by killing that Civilization Envoy!”

The Asura did not respond, merely said calmly, ”You are too weak now.”

”In the next day, Garuda, Qian Dapo, and I will keep killing you, in every possible way.”

”We will train your strength to the pinnacle, to a point where you have no weaknesses in body or spirit, surpassing even us!”

”Then...”

There was a savage glint in Asura’s eyes: ”Then we will kill that Civilization Envoy together!”

...

As Asura and others geared up to kill Chu Xiu with full effort, Liang Zhan had already led his team to the nearby Guard City.

The soldiers on duty recognized him and, without any hesitation, opened the city gates to let the entire troop enter.

The distance from the city wall to Guard City was about five kilometers. On usual days, certain military supplies were transported by livestock, while only large military equipment like crossbow cannons and fire cannons, given their substantial size and weight, were worth expending precious energy on vehicular transportation.

The remaining two Guard Cities and one main city were roughly ten kilometers apart from each other.

”Which means, from here to the main city, is a distance of thirty kilometers. Even without any obstacles along the way, traveling at the fastest speed should still take a full day to transport the residents over.”

Thankfully, in this Peach Blossom Spring, everyone practiced martial arts, and their bodies were robust. The elderly and children could be transported by oxen and horses.

”If each soldier carries a bit more supplies, as well as elderly and children who have mobility issues, we might be able to shorten the time to half a day. Father has instructed me to rapidly assemble everyone at the main city, and there can be no room for error.”

Liang Zhan pondered internally.

While he was considering the plan and how further savings could be made, a sudden loud shout rang out!

”Liang Zhan! Why did you leave the frontline without authorization? Are you planning to desert?!”

This shout brought Liang Zhan back to his senses. He looked up to see a monk from the Buddhist Sect, donned in a cassock gilded in gold, striding towards him with a stern demeanor.
