Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 383 - 203: Soul-Collecting Treasure Box (Part 3)

However, understanding these details did not make Chu Xiu relax; instead, his brows furrowed even tighter, and a deep sense of unease surged in his heart.

This attack was jointly orchestrated by Li Zhan, Wen Feiyan, and Calamity.

In other words, the mastermind targeting him must possess the ability to unite Mountain View Building and Extreme Dao!

Furthermore, this person could easily provide three King Tier Legends as compensation!

Someone with such means could undoubtedly mobilize a Heroic Spirit to eliminate him directly if not to avoid attracting attention!

In reality, the original personnel configuration was already luxurious enough. Wen Feiyan was skilled in ambushes, capable of restraining Qin Xiang, a top King Tier, with one move, and Li Zhan, after receiving the Extreme Dao Blessing, possessed combat power close to top King Tier Awakened. Moreover, he was meticulous, ruthless—this was even more crucial than combat prowess.

If Chu Xiu’s power hadn’t completely defied logic, he would have had no resistance and would have been instantly eliminated! Qin Xiang would also find it hard to escape the siege of the other three and would almost certainly die in the nuclear explosion.

Then, this plan would form a perfect loop; the mastermind could easily adopt a new identity in the public eye after seizing Chu Xiu!

This made Chu Xiu shiver, and a strong sense of crisis surged within him.

Seeing his expression, She Ti realized that Chu Xiu had understood the gravity of the situation and said leisurely, "This ten thousand Abyss Coins is compensation to isolate this matter from our Mountain View Building."

"Next, whether you choose to destroy the treasure box yourself or hand it over to the state, or to look for the mastermind independently, it has nothing to do with our Mountain View Building."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu smiled wryly, understanding why the other party had offered such a generous compensation.

An organization like Mountain View Building, existing in the shadows, wouldn’t have grown to its current scale without the tacit approval of several Celestial Kings.

But this approval must come with conditions.

If Chu Xiu guessed correctly, a prohibition against issuing any requests detrimental to national officials was one of them.

And now, Mountain View Building openly targeted Qin Xiang. If the task succeeded, they could naturally retreat unscathed, but now they had to find a way to make amends. The situation couldn’t be smoothed over with a simple "This was Wen Feiyan’s private action and has nothing to do with our Mountain View Building."

Otherwise, if they incited the wrath of the most merciless King of Slaughter stationed in the army, no matter how vast the Mountain View Building’s influence, it would be obliterated in an instant, and its high-ranking officials would become hated outcasts.

Chu Xiu said no more, merely reaching out to take the crystal, and immediately, a stream of information flowed into his being.

Seeing this, She Ti breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your understanding. This is our hideout near Jiang City, and the traitor’s token in our building. You may place it at any hideout you choose."

Chu Xiu agreed and then walked out.

At this moment, She Ti’s voice sounded again, "By the way, Mr. Chu, we must inform you that souls are extremely fragile, and the soul-capturing effectiveness of the Soul-Collecting Treasure Box can only be used once."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu paused and sighed inwardly.

This meant that the high-profile figure’s soul-taking target had already locked onto him.

"Anyone who can mobilize such tremendous resources would never let go so easily!"

"This trouble just comes one wave after another."

Fortunately, due to Chu Xiu’s habitual caution, his identity was very well concealed, and it should not be exposed for a while. Moreover, since his movements were unknown, ambushing him in the Corpse Demon World was exceedingly difficult.

Furthermore, as long as he didn’t sell the Anchor Point, the next Anchor Point slot would not be available for another four to five months, giving him ample development time.

Despite this, Chu Xiu remained vigilant.

After some deliberation, he left Abyss City and headed straight into the Bloody Arena.

The points accumulated previously should now be used to redeem some Blessings in advance.
