Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 341 - 188: The Disappearance of Li Zhan (Part 3)

However, at this moment, he received an unexpected piece of news.

"What did you say? Li Zhan is not with you? Didn’t I say that this communication artifact must be held personally?"

"Yes, yes, but..." The other side hesitated for a moment, then continued, "But this is what Senior Li requested. He said he discovered something, but it was too dangerous for us to follow, so he decided to go alone. To facilitate communication, he gave us this artifact."

"Senior Qin, you know that Senior Li is our captain. We can’t possibly..."

Before the words were finished, Qin Xiang impatiently hung up the communication artifact.

"Li Zhan... This guy is one of the Corpse King’s followers, isn’t he?"

A fierce light flashed in Qin Xiang’s eyes.

"I didn’t expect that even after I made my position clear, there would still be people harboring ideas they shouldn’t have."

"It seems the government has been too lenient with them, making them forget who dictates the order of this society!"

Qin Xiang snorted coldly, quickening his pace, disappearing instantly into the depths of the passage.

Meanwhile, as Qin Xiang delved deeper, Chu Xiu was also flapping his Vampire Count’s Wings, moving rapidly through the descending passage.

At this moment, a whisper suddenly sounded in his ear, causing Chu Xiu’s expression to change.

"Oh? Qin Xiang has already arrived? Faster than I imagined."

"And Li Zhan has lost his position?"

Chu Xiu recalled Qin Xiang’s previous description of this person.

His talent was average, but with a decisive nature and ruthless methods, he fought his way to the top. Eventually, relying on his handsome face, he succeeded in marrying into one of the four major families in the Capital City, the Zhang Family.

This stroke of luck allowed him to live a privileged life, and combined with his already remarkable talent, he has now become a famous "rising star" in recent years.

"I understand. Your mission is over, and I won’t go back on my promise of the Resurrection Wine." Chu Xiu said.

A voice beside his ear said, "Thank you," and the mysterious whisper vanished.

This was a special rune secret technique mastered by Su Jinyu, capable of facilitating short-range communication. Chu Xiu had her follow Qingshan and the others, not just for protection but also to report back on the situation promptly.

There was no denying that this girl’s talent was truly extraordinary, making her abilities unbelievably comprehensive, and most astonishingly, her talent was currently half-sealed, not only weakening her abilities but also preventing her from using high-power skills.

"After all, it’s a top-tier talent that’s just a step away from Perfect Refining."

Chu Xiu sighed, and without dwelling on it further, he focused his attention ahead.

After passing the plantation area, what lay ahead was a rugged and continuously descending path.

Chu Xiu moved swiftly, surprisingly encountering no obstacles along the way, only casually killing some corrupted creatures that hadn’t managed to retreat in time.

It seemed that the calamity underground intended to concentrate all its power nearby for the final confrontation.

However, this entity hadn’t given up yet; along the way, projections of a middle-aged man appeared repeatedly, attempting to negotiate with Chu Xiu.

Though it was already left crippled by Chu Xiu once, with three out of four followers dead, it still continued to make threats.

"Do you really think you can kill me? I admit you’re strong, but do you truly believe you can fight against me in my domain?"

"I’m afraid you don’t know, the Blood Demon Core I possess is of the Heroic Spirit tier!"

Chu Xiu naturally ignored such nonsense as mere background noise. Seeing his indifference, the calamity hesitated for a moment, as if making a firm decision, and said, "I might as well tell you, I have a deadly trump card. However, I’ve been reluctant to use it because I’m afraid of killing you and not obtaining the pollutants and Blood Demon from you."

"But if you push too far, I have no choice but to ensure mutual destruction!"

"I swear in the name of the Endless Blood Pool that everything I’ve said is true; cooperating with me is the best option!"

Swearing in the name of the Endless Blood Pool?

This statement indeed made Chu Xiu raise his gaze.

Seeing his interest, the calamity was immediately pleased and quickly said, "If you agree to cooperate with me, I will reveal my entire plan to you!"

"All the resources of this world will be at your and my disposal!"

Chu Xiu did not respond, merely pondering in silence the authenticity of the calamity’s words.

Just as he was contemplating, a gigantic cave suddenly appeared before him, and a dense aura of pollution rushed forth.

Chu Xiu felt a slight dizziness, while the Immortal Corpse King Talisman on his chest emitted a faint glow.

He knew he had reached the calamity’s lair.
