Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Right now, all he can do is prepare for the worst-case scenario!

As he spoke his refusal, Vengeance’s face immediately darkened, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

However, after a moment, he laughed, shook his head somewhat helplessly, but a flash of appreciation flickered in his eyes again.

"Though you kid make me quite unhappy, I must admit there’s nothing wrong with your decision," Vengeance waved his hand, "Since that’s the case, just do as you wish. I could use some peace."

"The trade will take place in fourteen days, let me know if there’s anything you need."

"Also, here’s the Legendary Equipment we previously promised. Pick one."

After speaking, Vengeance raised his hand, and a long list of data was transmitted into Chu Xiu’s mind.

Chu Xiu chuckled and saluted, "Thank you, senior, for your understanding."

Vengeance just waved his hand speechlessly, "Hurry up and choose."

Chu Xiu didn’t act coy and quickly browsed through.

Upon advancing to the General Tier, the defense of Legendary equipment type armor surpassed Chu Xiu’s own body, significantly increasing his physical safety.

So, a General Tier legendary armor is very tempting even for Chu Xiu.

All data was processed quickly, and the list Vengeance provided had hundreds of Legendaries!

He was picky and directly pinpointed the King Tier Legendaries, instantly reducing the number to only twelve.

There’s no helping it; usually, one would exchange a Legendary of a lower tier after advancing to maximize benefits, leading to a surplus of Fierce Tier and General Tier Legendaries. However, King Tier Legendaries are extremely rare, with too many people stuck at the King Tier, leaving only a few.

And those left are mostly Legendaries with mediocre attributes or are difficult to use.

Wanting to exchange for armor-type Legendaries, the probability is very low.

After all, the drop rate for armor-type equipment is already low, and they are one of the key equipment for enhancing strength, making them always in high demand.

Chu Xiu didn’t harbor much hope this time, planning to reluctantly choose a General Tier defensive equipment if it came to it.

But suddenly, he saw something, and his eyes lit up!

[Profound Evil Glaze Armor (King Tier Legend): Defense +2080, Constitution +360, contains profound evil, extremely solid, with the added benefit of glaze radiance, significantly reducing magic attack power (General Tier attribute).]

There was an armor left! And it was precisely the pure defensive type of armor Chu Xiu needed the most now!

"Roughly 1.8 times my current skeleton defense."

That’s already an extremely rare metric. Normally, the defense of General Tier legendary armor is around 1500, like the Great Sun Guard Shield, which has a defense of 1560 after advancing to General Tier.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Chu Xiu pointed, "Senior Vengeance, I choose this one."

Vengeance glanced over, displaying a knowing smile and nodded, "I knew you’d choose this one. My master put it in here yesterday, predicting you probably wouldn’t give in easily, so he might as well give you an armor to protect yourself."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu revealed a knowing expression. He thought it was odd that such a high-quality heavy armor hadn’t been snatched up.

"Thank you for the love, seniors. I will always remember this favor." Chu Xiu saluted again.

But Vengeance seemed indifferent to these pleasantries.

Afterward, Chu Xiu and Qin Xiang confirmed the items for the trade.

Naturally, they exchanged a whole bunch of miscellaneous items such as ordinary equipment, Directed Deep Dive Scrolls, the Hand of Deprivation, and low-quality Old Remains, which Chu Xiu couldn’t use, for Cause and Effect Points.

After completing all this, he planned to take his leave.

Just as Chu Xiu was about to exit, Vengeance suddenly said, "By the way, there’s one last thing."

"About the Soul-Collecting Treasure Box you mentioned before, we have some preliminary results."

"The one who acted against you was the Zhang Family, one of the four major families. The specific person is still under investigation, but they covered their tracks well, so we’re unlikely to find out."

"But for someone to have such energy, that person’s position in the Zhang Family is certainly not low. Once the Soul-Collecting Treasure Box is selected, it can’t be changed, so they likely won’t let it go easily. You need to be careful."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu turned, "Thank you for the warning, senior."

Immediately after, his figure disappeared into Abyss City without hesitation.

Vengeance also prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Qin Xiang suddenly called out, "My lord."

Vengeance paused, "What’s the matter?"

Qin Xiang’s face showed a conflicted expression, but after hesitating for a while, he spoke, "My lord, if I’m not mistaken, senior King of Slaughter doesn’t yet have his own world, correct?"

"Hmm?"

Vengeance’s gaze shifted, his cold eyes falling on Qin Xiang.

At this moment, not a trace of the previous kind demeanor he showed Chu Xiu remained, instead resembling a bloody sharp torture device, making one feel an involuntary chill just by being stared at.

Known for his uncompromising nature, any Awakened with some background would know this dreaded name in the Investigation Bureau.

"So, what are you trying to say?"

In Abyss City, in theory, these intangible notions of momentum and pressure didn’t exist; everything was merely data.

Yet for some reason, Vengeance’s gaze almost took Qin Xiang’s breath away.

But after a long while, he still bit the bullet, "My lord, I just want to ask if senior King of Slaughter is truly working for Chen Ce’s benefit?"
