Chapter 1052A – The Abyss’s Will Moves
At this moment, space rippled and abyssal energy surged. Black Astral stepped out and blocked the front of Blacklight. “Old Fox, what happened for you to show such anger to a junior?”
Old Fox waved a hand in annoyance, “Have these people all step away!”
Black Astral lifted an eyebrow. “Blacklight, all of you should leave. Without my orders, no one is to approach.”
Soon, everyone had left and there were only the two of them remaining.
Black Astral said, “Speak.”
Old Fox took a deep breath and said, “Great Deer City is going to suffer an accident!”
Black Astral’s expression changed, “Beast tide?”
Old Fox nodded with a gloomy expression, “Two days ago, the City Lord Mansion coordinated with me and Yin Hanxin on a mission.”
He explained how ten Demon Generals were dispatched to slay the controlling demon beast, and yet had failed in the end.
“This is how things stand right now. If things go as expected, Great Deer City will be broken through soon and you and I will be forced to flee!”
Black Astral frowned. He never thought that the beast tide would reach such a terrifying level this time.
Three Demon Commander level demon beasts that also had a certain degree of intelligence. If they were the ones commanding the beast tide, it wouldn’t be difficult to destroy Great Deer City.
And with Great Deer City’s strength, there was no way they could be saved. Unless…he took a deep breath and said, “Old Fox, the reason you came looking for me today, is it because you want to ask Liu Huo for help?”
Since Old Fox had come here, he naturally wouldn’t conceal anything. “That’s right. Only His Excellency Liu Huo has the ability to reverse this situation.”
As he spoke he took out a jar of demon medicine.
“Before you went into seclusion, Liu Huo handed me this demon medicine. It is called the mighty invincibility pill. Ignore the name for now. The medicinal efficacy of this pill is truly terrifying. At our Thousand Eye Temple testing center, a Colonel level iron armored cow demon managed to unexpectedly erupt with a strength similar to a Demon General. But in the end, he was blown apart by this strength.
“I’ve thought about it. If Liu Huo can give us a few demon medicines similar to the mighty invincibility pill that even those at the Demon Commander boundary can use, then perhaps with Great Deer City’s strength, we can slay those three Demon Commander level demon beasts and save the city.”
Black Astral furrowed his eyebrows. “If I don’t give a thought to my injuries, I can indeed erupt with the strength of a normal Demon Commander for a brief period of time. Including City Lord Blackpool, Great Deer City only has two Demon Commander level powerhouses. Even if we obtain demon medicine from Liu Huo that can stimulate our potential, there is still no assurance that we can subdue three intelligent demon beasts.”
Old Fox nodded, “You’re right. But what I know is that in the next day or two, a Demon Commander will arrive at Great Deer City. If he is included, then we will have three Demon Commanders. If you are helped by Mister Liu Huo’s demon medicine then you might have a chance!”
Black Astral furrowed his eyebrows. “With Great Deer City’s current situation, who would still dare to come here? And even if they come here, are you confident they would participate in such a dangerous mission? You have to know that even if a Demon Commander were to rush into the endless beast tide, there is still a chance they will be encircled and killed off.”
“With me alone, it is naturally impossible to pay a high enough price that a Demon Commander would willingly agree to do something so dangerous. But old dog, don’t forget, we have an Abyss Walker on our side.”
“Are you going to tell him?”
“That is our only choice. Otherwise, our years of painstaking effort and labor will all be put to waste. Are you willing to accept that?”
Old Fox said without expression, “Just now, Yin Hanxin said that he wouldn’t watch helplessly as his Three Lives Pavilion branch division is destroyed. I am also the same. Even if there is a chance of angering Liu Huo, I will take it. Moreover, there is a chance that if we do this, we might even be helping him.”
Black Astral was intelligent enough. His pupils shrank and he said, “Are you saying that the change in the beast tide is related to Liu Huo?”
“I investigated but didn’t find anything. However, if Liu Huo is deliberately trying to conceal something, it would be normal for me to not sense anything.”
Old Fox’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, “But besides this Abyss Walker, I cannot think of anything in Great Deer City that could galvanize such a terrifying beast tide.”
Black Astral was silent for a long time. He took a deep breath and stood up, “Let’s go and pay a visit to Liu Huo…I hope that what you said is correct.”
….
Old Fox and Black Astral first hid their tracks. Then with heavy hearts full of worry, they knocked on the courtyard doors. However, no response came in return. After asking around and determining that Liu Huo was in the courtyard but didn’t come out, the two old demons were left in an awkward situation.
Like this, they waited a long time. A bit more than two hours later, the door creaked open from within.
What entered their eyes was Feature with a face flushed red. Her breathing was rapid and her clothes were disorderly. She invited the two in.
Old Fox and Black Astral’s complexions changed. They quickly restrained their eyes, putting on faces as if they didn’t see anything. After cupping their hands together, they entered the courtyard.
Although the situation was critical and they were impatient, when the two demons glanced at each other, they could see the envy in their eyes.
His Excellency was truly worthy of being an Abyss Walker. Even in this sort of matter, he was far more fierce than the average man. They had no idea how long the bedroom battle had continued before they arrived, but after waiting over two hours, this time period was enough to show disdain for all others in the abyss.
Perhaps only the uniquely talented Demon Dragon Clan could compare with Liu Huo in this aspect.
Qin Yu sat in the courtyard, his complexion slightly pale. He glanced at the two old demons and waved his hand, indicating for them to sit down.
Because he had used too much abyssal energy, his mind was in a daze. As a result he didn’t notice the understanding looks in the eyes of the two. They were thinking that there were few people as brave as Liu Huo in this situation. To be so tired afterwards, he must have used certain things to add to the fun. The losses were surely not small.
Tsk tsk, even a Demon Commander’s face had gone pale. It would be strange if his losses were only small.
“My apologies, I was unable to leave just now and made you two wait for a long time. May I ask the reason for your visit today?” Qin Yu suddenly asked.
The demon medicine that Feature refined this time was far too astonishing in difficulty level. He had almost been driven insane from suffering but had managed to succeed in the end.
Old Fox smiled and said, “Last time, Mister Liu Huo left our Thousand Eye Temple with some demon medicine. The effects were indeed astonishing. These are the demon crystals that should have been paid to you. Please look through it.”
Qin Yu waved his hand. The already impatient Feature stepped forward and received it. When she took the demon leather bag in hand she immediately beamed with joy. Pride was etched on her face. Then, she lightly coughed to express her satisfaction.
These two demons had good eyes. At the very least, they weren’t as blind as Qin Yu was. They knew how precious the demon medicine that this miss refined was!
Qin Yu couldn’t help but yawn. “I’ve accepted the demon crystals. Is there anything else?”
Old Fox took a deep breath and stood up, bowing. “I ask that mister please help us save Great Deer City!”
Black Astral nodded with deep veneration. “Indeed, only mister can save the tens of millions of demons in the city.”
Qin Yu waved his hand, “Hold on. Just what has happened? Explain it to me clearly.”
From his viewpoint, he didn’t believe that he had the strength to save Great Deer City.
Old Fox spoke up and explained the situation of the beast tide. He stared at Qin Yu as he did, trying to make out some change in mood from his expression.
But what a pity, his attempts failed once again. He could only carefully pack away his thoughts.
The beast tide had strengthened and Great Deer City would be breached…this was the approximate summary.
What was unkind was that when Qin Yu first heard this, he thought that if this situation could not be reversed and Great Deer City was broken through, it would actually be a comfort.
After all, in Qin Yu’s eyes, as the natural enemies of the living world, the more abyssal demons that died the better.
As for his and Feature’s safety when Great Deer City was breached, these two old demons in front of him would do their best to provide him with all the protection they had – that is, as long as they still wanted demon medicine.
But thinking this was one thing. As a supposed abyssal demon, he couldn’t reveal these thoughts. He had a contemplative look for a time before he asked, “Do you two have any countermeasures?”
Black Astral said, “I heard that the other day, mister gave Thousand Eye Temple some demon medicine that could stimulate one’s potential. It was called the mighty invincibility pill and its medicinal efficacy is incomparably astonishing. If mister can refine mighty invincibility pills for us that those at the Demon Commander level could use, then perhaps Great Deer City can be saved.”
He finally said it.
The two old demons felt uneasy as they waited for his response.
“Cough. Master Liu Huo, I feel that the demons in Great Deer City are too pitiful. You should help them.” Feature suddenly said.
Old Fox and Black Astral were overjoyed. They stood up and bowed, expressing their gratitude. They could naturally see that Feature had an usual status to Qin Yu. Her words would inevitably affect his decision.
He secretly frowned and glanced at Feature. “Please wait a moment, I will be back.”
He walked away, Feature following close on his heels.
