Chapter 258 - 111: Bait and Game
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable nodded.
Fang Qingluan and Luoo Rushan were stunned by their conversation.
Fang Qingluan looked a little tense, "Has the Tier Nine from the Blood Demon Abyss arrived?"
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable shook his head, "I have already slain the Tier Eight over there. When I wanted to close the passage, that Tier Nine crossed over intending to kill me..."
"A strike from Tier Nine?"
Fang Qingluan and Luoo Rushan exchanged glances, did this Celestial Dao Demon Venerable escape even a strike from Tier Nine?
Wasn’t it just supposed to be gathering intelligence?
How come even the Tier Eight from the Blood Demon Abyss has been slain during the investigation?
The Empress asked, "Do we have confidence if we charge together?"
"No."
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable shook his head, "The gap between Tier Nine and Tier Eight is even more terrifying than we previously imagined.
But Tier Eight wasn’t as strong as I imagined."
Fang Qingluan and Luoo Rushan were still in shock, listening to the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable’s assessment.
He chuckled bitterly.
Dude, can you be considerate of the feelings of those present when you are making your comments?
They are only Tier Eight too.
"We shouldn’t go over to the Blood Demon side for now."
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable spoke.
’Master, there was a demon’s presence in the Abyssal Passage of the Blood Demon Abyss back then, but I pretended I didn’t notice him.’
’This operation might be more than just an Abyss invasion; maybe Master should stay over there?’
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable said in the Heart Demon Group Chat.
He didn’t inform Fang Qingluan and the others on the spot, even though they are currently allies with the master, who knows.
Even when he discovered it at the time, he didn’t make a sound. The demon thought he had hidden among the Abyssal Creatures.
The Celestial Dao Demon Venerable did not give him any attention.
But countless Abyssal Creatures have been slain by the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, he was already familiar with the aura of Abyssal Creatures down to the bone.
This was not a person of Abyssal Creatures, he could sense that with just a feeling.
’You all just stay in Shencheng City.’
Imperial University.
Shen Fei listened to the words of the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, frowning slightly, indeed it was just as he guessed.
This time, the dual Abyss offensive likely has a significant objective, which is him.
The key point is.
If there is a demon plotting behind the scenes, one would say he and the Holy Arrival Sect have a blood feud.
"Should I go?"
Shen Fei, leaning on the sofa, now clearly knowing Shencheng City is likely set up as a trap for him.
Who knows how much plotting is behind it, since those people dare to do this, there must be extensive scheming.
But if he doesn’t go.
Just as Luo Ran said back then, he is now already exposed to everyone, now Shencheng City faces crisis.
If he doesn’t appear.
The Breaking Abyss Army’s intention of making him the standard-bearer for ending the Abyss Era is in conflict.
And the ’Heavenly Pride Club’ which has long been displeased with him will certainly launch a public opinion offensive...
Shen Fei’s eyes were somber, truth be told he does have quite a few trump cards, such as the imminent various items, and his own talent.
Maybe unless he faces Tier Nine or even Tier Ten directly, otherwise even if Tier Eight surrounds him in numbers, he won’t have much trouble dealing with it.
Moreover, if he doesn’t go this time.
He will have to constantly guard against their next action, and if this time they planned a siege based on his Tier Eight power.
The stakes they are putting in must be substantial.
"Another instance of catching a turtle in a jar..."
Shen Fei made a phone call to Han Min, sharing his speculations.
Han Min simply said, "Make your own choice, I advise not to go, and there’s no need to worry about that so-called public opinion.
Once you truly become Tier Ten, they would be mere trifles."
Shen Fei was silent for a moment, then said, "Can we guarantee Tier Nine or Tier Ten won’t appear in Shencheng City?"
"That can definitely be guaranteed, even if Tier Nine appears I can handle it, but the main issue is the uncertain number of Tier Eight and Tier Seven.
If they want to deal with you, they will probably deploy nearly double digits of Tier Eight, along with various special items."
"Too dangerous."
Han Min began to speak.
"If this time we can completely eradicate them, it should be much quieter in the future, right?"
"Absolutely, even though the Demon Organization has been entrenched for so many years, hiding deeply, but Tier Eight isn’t just something like cabbages in a field, they don’t just pop up."
Han Min stated confidently, "Moreover, Tier Eight still has some social circles.
If they are indeed wiped out, just an investigation and we can almost confirm the hidden identities of these people."
Han Min explained.
Shen Fei nodded, indeed, it’s true. Not everyone is like him, having an advantage.
To ascend to Tier Eight requires a lot of Skill Books, Equipment, and Items, and multiple trips to the Abyss are definitely needed.
Not everyone can enter the Abyss and slay Abyss Monsters like plowing fields.
In a normal Profession.
It’s impossible to kill over a thousand Abyssal Creatures of similar Level in such a short time.
"Have you decided?"
"I’ve decided, it’s also an opportunity." Shen Fei has always thought like this.
It’s easier to steal over a thousand miles than to defend against a thief over a thousand miles.
Fear not the thief stealing but the thief thinking.
"Alright. Have you talked with Grandma Luo about this?" Han Min asked.
This time, Shen Fei plans to use himself as ’bait’ to find a way to eliminate most of the hidden threats.
Otherwise, with the Demon Organization hiding in the shadows, it’s unclear when they might strike.
This time is more open than the Desert Abyss incident, with mutual testing and strategic games, it’s all about who is better prepared.
Who has the higher means.
"The teacher knows."
Although Shen Fei didn’t say anything, Luo Ran certainly has ways to know, and she is certainly considered within the range by the Abysses and Demon Organization.
"Okay, I’m prepared to go over there now. I’ll start by thoroughly inspecting Shencheng City to reduce threats."
"Alright."
Shen Fei hung up the phone, sighing lightly.
"Holy Arrival Sect... if I don’t crush you this time, I won’t be surnamed Shen."
At this moment.
"Master, Mistress is preparing to come back now." After Little Pu spoke, a silver-white flower emerged in the living room, and a figure leapt out.
"Hehe."
Su Muyu’s eyes brightened upon seeing Shen Fei on the sofa, and she hopped towards him.
Held in a warm embrace, Shen Fei hugged back, stroking her hair and smiling, "Decided to come back?"
"You make it sound like I was out playing, hmph."
Su Muyu wrinkled her nose, emerged from Shen Fei’s embrace, and kissed him on the mouth, "I just got back, feeling grimy.
I’ll take a shower first."
"Alright, wash up first, then I’ll tell you about some things." Shen Fei nodded; currently, Su Muyu should still be unaware of what happened in Tang City.
Because Su Juncheng hadn’t been able to contact Su Muyu.
"Things? Okay."
Su Muyu nodded.
A moment later, Su Muyu’s eyes widened, "Tang City is gone?"
"Yes. This time, the two Abysses are likely targeting Shencheng City. I’ve already sent the Empress and others back first.
Because I still have to wait for some things; I thought of waiting for you to come back so we could return together."
"But now the plan has changed. You shouldn’t come back with me for now; stay at Imperial University."
Shen Fei said.
"Alright."
Su Muyu didn’t question why, even though she wanted to follow Shen Fei, she knew now was not the time to be stubborn.
Shen Fei explained that this Abyss siege might be orchestrated by demons.
He worried that if a battle erupted, he couldn’t protect Su Muyu, and staying at Imperial University is relatively safe.
If even basic safety at Imperial University couldn’t be ensured.
Wu Xia would already be under the demons’ domain.
No longer lurking like rats in the gutter.
Su Muyu heard the plan likely targets Shen Fei for ambush, her returning excitement vanished.
Murmured, "Why not let the Empress and others stay, wait till your strength grows stronger, then deal with the demons?
This action is too risky in her eyes.
She thought, since Shen Fei’s strength increases so rapidly, wait till Tier Ten to deal with it slowly.
Shen Fei shook his head, "Demons have lasted so long not without means; even reaching Tier Ten doesn’t guarantee eradication."
"If I wait till Tier Ten, I might be safe, but demons will continue to hide day by day..."
"At that time, I’m not at risk, but Wu Xia and humanity’s Heavenly Pride face greater dangers..."
Shen Fei held Su Muyu’s soft hand and smiled, "Your husband is also afraid of death, don’t worry.
Since I’ve chosen to go to Shencheng City, it means I’m confident."
Su Muyu listened to Shen Fei’s explanation, leaned against the sofa, feeling slightly down, "If your Talent wasn’t so high, it’d be better.
If need be, I’d support you; now you’re attending to the nation’s Great Righteousness, and ensuring future Heavenly Pride’s safety..."
"You don’t have to be like this."
While proud of her husband, Su Muyu also acknowledged the heavy responsibility he bears, which peers don’t.
