Chapter 1730 - 1726: Making a Deal with the Devil (Third Update)
Chapter 1730: Chapter 1726: Making a Deal with the Devil (Third Update)
Silence!
An extreme silence!
Everyone present had their eyes wide open.
Especially Zhan Qianchen, who looked completely bewildered.
Red Lotus Immortal Venerable!
The name was so distant, yet so deafeningly striking.
Even though they were residing in the Abyss, they had heard this name more than once.
Only Kang Shuai Fu, who had been trapped in Slaughter Hell for hundreds of years, felt unfamiliar with the name.
Because when Xue An rose to the top as Immortal Venerable and became famous, he happened to be absent from the Multiverse.
But he was no fool.
Simply the title of Immortal Venerable was enough to shake him.
This youth, could he really be Immortal Venerable?
My goodness, wouldn’t that make him the undisputed number one in the Multiverse?
Even the Abyssal Master couldn’t possibly be his match!
Thoughts raced through Kang Shuai Fu’s mind.
But at this moment, Zhan Qianchen suddenly shouted, "Impossible! Didn’t Red Lotus Immortal Venerable perish long ago? Moreover, if you were truly Immortal Venerable, you could scan the Abyss in an instant. Why go through so much trouble? So you absolutely cannot be him!"
"Well said!" Xue An lightly applauded, speaking with a smile, "But have you thought about it: what if I’ve been reincarnated?"
Zhan Qianchen was instantly speechless, staring blankly at Xue An.
Then Xue An continued, "I know what you’re worried about, many of those demons who pledged allegiance to the Evil God are your spies, right? If they’re exposed, you’ll lose your last card!"
"But this time, I want the life of the Abyssal Master. Once achieved, you naturally won’t have any worries!"
"How about it? Are you interested in making a trade?" Xue An said with a smile.
It’s well known that Abyssal Demons are fond of making trades, though they usually appear in a condescending manner.
No one expected the roles to reverse this time, with Xue An taking the upper hand.
"How do we know you’ll succeed? Because as you said, you’ve come here reincarnated, which means your power hasn’t fully returned; how could you possibly be a match for the Abyssal Master?" Duan Wanfa’s thinking was clearly more lucid.
Upon hearing this, Xue An shook his head with a smile, "That’s a good question, but you don’t need to worry! Because... I will certainly succeed, there’s no other possibility!"
The powerful confidence conveyed in his words moved everyone present.
"We’ll consider it!"
In the face of issues concerning the survival of their race, prior minor conflicts seemed insignificant.
Even Zhan Qianchen curbed his emotions, coming together for a serious discussion.
Kang Shuai Fu didn’t join them, instead approaching Xue An quietly, "Immortal Venerable, are you really going to do this?"
"Of course, is there a problem?" Xue An said with a smile.
"But..."
"What, are you scared?" Xue An said leisurely.
Kang Shuai Fu fell silent.
Indeed, he was scared.
As someone who had directly confronted the Abyssal Master, he knew better than anyone how terrifying the Abyssal Master truly was.
In fact, the entire Evil God originated because of him.
And his origin had always been a mystery.
People only knew he suddenly appeared in the Abyss and swept it with an unfathomable power, ending the thousand-year glory of the demons.
Xue An suddenly patted his shoulder, "Sometimes fear doesn’t solve problems; it can make them worse!"
"Do you want to be a coward for life or a hero for even a few minutes?"
Xue An’s words caused a spark in Kang Shuai Fu’s eyes, finally leading him to sigh, "Sometimes I truly wonder, are we the demons or are you the demon; you’re more adept at swaying hearts than I am!"
Xue An laughed heartily, "Of course it’s you! Because I have no regard for you demons!"
Just then, the three who had finished their discussion returned.
Now, their attitude was much more respectful than before.
Even Zhan Qianchen dared not harbor any resentment.
He knew very well that the youth before him spared him earlier, granting him great respect.
If he remained ignorant, he’d truly be seeking death.
"Well? Have you made a decision?"
"Immortal Venerable, we only have one last question now!"
"Speak!"
"After eliminating the Abyssal Master, what do you intend to do next?" Duan Wanfa asked, his gaze fixed on Xue An.
"I’m not interested in this deathly Abyss!" Xue An said bluntly.
Upon hearing this, the three finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great! In that case, we’ll join you in taking this gamble! Just don’t disappoint us!" Duan Wanfa declared solemnly.
"Wise choice!"
Very soon.
Xue An followed them to the Demon Palace located in the center of the continent.
The three carefully took out a bone, which was glistening like jade.
"Immortal Venerable, this is our emergency tool to contact the ones infiltrating the Evil God’s ranks!"
As they spoke, the three each applied a Curse Mark.
In an instant, waves of light emerged from the bone and coalesced into a mirror in midair.
The mirror initially showed chaotic images, then gradually clarified.
Finally.
A giant rabbit appeared in the mirror.
Seated on a chair, its face was serious, "Is there a pressing matter that requires contacting me so urgently?"
The three hastily bowed, "Greetings, Demon Lord! The urgency is because someone seeks an audience with you!"
"Someone wants to meet me? Ridiculous! Do you know how secretive my identity is? If anything goes wrong, wouldn’t everything be for naught?" The rabbit said, enraged.
At this moment, Xue An walked to the mirror and said with a smile, "Long time no see!"
The rabbit’s expression immediately froze.
This rabbit was the same one Xue An encountered back in Lost Paradise, when he exterminated the Light Divine King.
At the time, the Light Divine King summoned it for a deal, intending to confront Xue An.
But it outright refused, then Xue An appeared, scaring away the rabbit.
No one expected it to be the Abyssal Demon’s spy within the Evil God.
Thus, it explained why it would make deals with the likes of the Light Divine King’s subordinates.
"L...Lord! How can it be you?" The rabbit trembled as it spoke.
"Why can’t it be me?" Xue An said, beaming.
"Oh... I didn’t mean it like that! I just don’t understand why you’re within the Demon Clan’s Territory?"
"Simple! Because we’ve made a deal, now... you and I are on the same side!" Xue An said joyfully.
The rabbit fell silent, taking a long pause before speaking in a near-whimper, "Are you... are you planning to confront the Abyssal Master?"
"Looks like I’ve finally met a smart one!"
"So now tell me, where is it!"
