Abyss Sequence

Chapter 37: Conflict


Yan Luo didn't know that the Lingquan City committee had already decided at a meeting to help clear his name. But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Regardless of whether his name was cleared or not, he didn't think he did anything wrong. If he had to carry a stigma, it was proof that others were wrong.

Yan Luo was currently with Wu Zechuan and the others, clearing out the City-breaking Level Demons constantly approaching the Abyss Entrance.

This Abyss's demons were strange; perhaps under the Master of the Abyss's orders, they were always heading towards the Abyss Entrance.

Because of this, Yan Luo and the others found it hard to get any rest.

Chen Shan had long returned to the half-built defense fortifications. Now, alongside Yan Luo and Wu Zechuan, the retired Sequence Three Hunters were clearing out the City-breaking Level Demons.

Missiles occasionally rose from the defensive positions near the Abyss Entrance, aiding Yan Luo and the others in killing the City-breaking Level Demons.

This was an unknown Abyss never before seen on Blue Star, so even using high-yield weapons slightly wasn't a problem, as long as nuclear bombs weren't deployed inside the Abyss.

Moreover, the military higher-ups had already instructed to resolve this Abyss in the shortest time possible.

Thus, the soldiers used high-yield weapons without any psychological burden.

Since they had to eliminate this Abyss quickly, who cared how much it expanded due to high-yield weapons?

The military even discussed with the Hunters whether they could bring over a hydrogen bomb after finding the Master of the Abyss, remotely detonating it to directly kill the Master.

To eliminate the Master of the Abyss, they could lay lines all the way to the Master of the Abyss's hiding place.

The last failure at the Bright Silver Abyss alerted the military. Even a Second Rank strongman had led the Bright Silver Abyss campaign, yet it still failed, so they planned to use a hydrogen bomb even with Wu Zechuan, a Second Rank.

Wu Zechuan was noncommittal about this.

He planned to assess the situation before deciding.

After all, the number of City-breaking Level Demons in an Abyss's area was limited, and it wasn't long before Wu Zechuan killed all the City-breaking Level Demons.

After canceling Elementalization, Wu Zechuan landed beside Yan Luo, bent down to pick up a bone plate that had fallen on the ground, looked at it, and suddenly sighed: "This Abyss is very strange."

Yan Luo also noticed. This Abyss's demons only dropped two things: either bone plates or flesh, and they didn't seem to produce other materials.

Moreover, no matter what shape the demons took, their bodies were always covered in a layer of bone plates, and their superpowers were identical.

It seemed they were designed specifically to target intelligent life that used Magic Power.

On Blue Star, there at least existed a 'Saint' like Yan Luo, whose blood could empower Engravers to counter the magic-sealing superpower.

If the Elves encountered this Abyss, they might suffer heavy casualties.

After expressing his sentiment, Wu Zechuan looked at Yan Luo and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

Yan Luo knew what Wu Zechuan was asking.

In front of everyone, he had exposed the miraculous nature of his blood. Now, surely the whole world knew about the wondrous uses of his blood.

Now he had merely revealed that his blood could counter the magic-sealing superpower. Soon, Hunters who had ingested his blood would discover that they had acquired superpowers to automatically absorb Magic Power.

By then, they would surely realize that they owned such superpowers because of Yan Luo's blood.

"I plan to announce the existence of the 'Saint' to the public," Yan Luo replied.

Wu Zechuan raised an eyebrow but had no intention of persuading him.

If Yan Luo planned to do this, he must have his reasons, and he wouldn't listen even if persuaded.

"If you do that, many people will surely come asking for your blood," Wu Zechuan counted. "At least Second Rank Hunters will certainly come, and many from Crimson No.2 will try to find a way, even the wealthy will flock to you."

Yan Luo stated in a deep voice: "Anyone not hunting in the Abyss isn't qualified for my blood!"

Hearing this, Wu Zechuan gave a mocking smile: "That might not be up to you. Besides, blood isn't their ultimate pursuit. They will surely find a way to obtain your bone marrow or even muscle. Since your blood has such effects, what about the bone marrow? The muscle? Can consuming them grant immortality?"

Yan Luo let out a cold snort: "Let them come, and I'll dare to kill!"

He always spoke truthfully, never indulging in falsehoods.

"Alright, since you already have a response plan, I won't try to persuade you." Wu Zechuan patted Yan Luo's shoulder, "Call me if you need help."

Saying this, Wu Zechuan transformed into a bolt of lightning and flashed back to the defense fortifications near the Abyss Entrance.

Yan Luo stretched his body and followed back.

Inside the enormous fort, the Hunters, idling for now, began discussing Yan Luo's blood matter.

"Hey, have you noticed that our bodies seem to be attracting Magic Power?"

A Mage Series Hunter with a sensitive perception of Magic Power shared his feelings.

Others with similar perceptions nodded repeatedly; they also felt this way.

"Stop guessing. You indeed can attract Magic Power."

A voice interjected from nearby, drawing the Hunters' attention, who saw Liu Feiyu's figure.

Holding a cup of hot coffee, Liu Feiyu smiled and said, "Don't you think about it? Why is Yan Luo's blood able to counter the magic-sealing superpowers of this Abyss's demons? How did he know this? You've all seen it: Aside from fighting City-breaking Level Demons, how many chances has Yan Luo had to get injured?"

"Before this, many had already ingested Yan Luo's blood. I can clearly tell you that Chen Shan and Wu Zechuan are among them."

"Because previously, Yan Luo sabotaged your plans, now you're repaying him with hostility?"

A deep voice came from behind Liu Feiyu, causing his smile to falter slightly. He turned around and saw Chen Shan's somber face.

Liu Feiyu smiled dryly, shrugged, "That's because I'd guessed Yan Luo would certainly announce his blood's power; so what's the harm in mentioning it earlier?"

Chen Shan forcibly pointed at Liu Feiyu's shoulder, staring into his eyes, and warned in a low voice: "Don't forget who allows you to profit! Don't say that Yan Luo revoked your qualification; if you disclose that place's existence, Yan Luo could publicly tender it out. Then you'll earn nothing! Absolutely nothing!"

Liu Feiyu's cheek muscles twitched, but he ultimately chose not to react.

Because Chen Shan was right, they couldn't disclose Yan Luo's control over an Elf World spatial passage.

They were currently making money from the Elf World because they had partnered with Yan Luo ahead of others. Without this relationship, many people would be better suited to engage in commerce between Blue Star and the Elf World.

Once the Elf World's existence was made public, Yan Luo could publicly tender it, leaving them with no benefits whatsoever, harming others without benefiting themselves.

After warning Liu Feiyu, or rather the Pension Association behind him, Chen Shan left, moving outside Fort No. 1.

The troops stationed in Lingquan City had constructed three large forts near the Abyss Entrance and deployed six outposts beyond, sufficient to counter demon onslaughts.

Chen Shan saw from a distance Wu Zechuan's return. When Wu Zechuan approached, he asked: "What are Yan Luo's plans?"

"He plans to announce the 'Saint' matter to the public," Wu Zechuan answered.

Then Wu Zechuan glanced back, "But I suppose he will also discuss with Sasa and Professor Li. After all, this matter involves Blue Star's past history. Whether to uncover past history is a tough decision for many."

Many informed about Blue Star's past history found it hard to decide to unveil it to the public. But if it were Yan Luo, he would undoubtedly make the decision.

Furthermore, he might also reveal the Elf World's existence.

The piece of Jade in Yan Luo's possession might not be the only one; according to the Elves, Blue Star once connected to numerous worlds.

Therefore, they had to prepare early for this.
