Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

But immediately, there was an immense sense of shock. This senior almost instantly deciphered the mysteries of the "Exorcist Civilization," casually replicating a soul with great understanding and mastery. Truly, he had reached an unimaginable realm.

He quickly clasped his hands: "I am Chen Lengqiang, Leader of the Celestial Mechanics Guild. I thank the senior for his help."

Chu Xiu nodded. He had also heard of the Celestial Mechanics Guild. The guild had over a hundred Fierce Tier Awakened ones and ranked 47th among all guilds, making it a relatively strong force.

With "Perfect Refining," replicating a map was no big deal, just costing a Fierce Ghost. The opportunity to befriend four powerful King Tiers was a bargain.

Such is the harshness of reality; when you have strength, plundering becomes a given, and offering a little benefit turns into friendship.

In the eyes of the four, Chu Xiu clearly possessed overwhelming strength but didn’t resort to violence immediately, which was considered mild among the "Heroic Spirits."

Chu Xiu said, "Move to another city."

Saying this, he turned and hurried deeper into the passage with Jiang Miaoyin.

Now that he had the map, he wasn’t going to waste the power of the Celestial Dragon Golden Pill forcing his way through the earth.

Although he hadn’t consumed even one percent of this Mythical Artifact’s power, Chu Xiu still didn’t want to waste any.

Upon hearing his words, the remaining four shared a bitter smile and had to temporarily select a new location on the map.

"Don’t look so grim, everyone. Although we wasted half a day for nothing, escaping unscathed even after encountering a Heroic Spirit without using any backup plans was already incredibly fortunate," the burly man said.

"Indeed," the young Mechanician added, "This senior should be of the lawful alignment. If we had met those rogues on the wanted list, we probably wouldn’t even be in one piece."

"We can only blame ourselves for being careless, unknowingly cursed by that woman Jiang Miaoyin."

Chen Lengqiang said, "This time, we were exceedingly lucky to acquire four Anchor Points at a cost of a trillion each and a map at the start. We should explore steadily from here on and not let greed cloud our minds."

After he finished, the four of them all nodded.

But just as the four were collecting themselves and preparing to choose a new destination, a female voice suddenly echoed in the area: "You have a map?"

As the voice fell, the air seemed to freeze.

The next moment, the four of them quickly drew their weapons, looking towards the large hole Chu Xiu had just dashed through!

There, a girl wearing a strange, bright red cotton jacket, looking quite timid, was hanging on the edge of the hole in an odd posture, only half of her body visible as she peered at the four.

Noticing she was being watched intently, the girl gave an awkward smile: "Could you lend me a look at that map?"

Chen Lengqiang stared at the suddenly appearing strange girl, his eyes full of caution: "Who are you?"

"Me?" The girl pointed at herself, scratched her head: "What’s my name again?"

Her voice was peculiar, as if she was pinching her throat, giving rise to an inexplicable eeriness.

The Western girl in a white robe had pupils that flickered with a faint silver light, her lips subtly moving as she communicated: "It’s a King Tier."

After hearing this, the other three exhaled in relief.

However, none of them let their guard down since, in the Abyss, the greatest danger came from those that appeared abnormal.

Chen Lengqiang seemed to have realized something, frowning as he said incredulously: "Wait, have you been tracking that ’Heroic Spirit’ senior all this time?"

This eerie girl had emerged from the large opening leading to Chu Xiu, and the odds of coincidentally discovering it were too slim. The Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World is complex and vast; such coincidences are rare.

More likely, this individual had been following Chu Xiu and Jiang Miaoyin from the beginning!

But... a King Tier trailing a Heroic Spirit?

The thought was hard to believe.

Yet the girl didn’t seem to think it mattered much. She just smiled shyly: "Did something happen? I’m not familiar with anyone here; I just wanted to follow that big sister. I didn’t know a senior would show up."

Upon hearing her admit this, the four’s expressions changed again. Chen Lengqiang coldly replied: "Madwoman, I don’t care what your intentions are. Leave now, or don’t blame us for being merciless."

"Ah..." The girl paused, murmured something as suddenly the rocks around her vanished without a trace! She herself let out a startled cry as she plummeted from the big hole, landing heavily on the ground, looking rather disheveled.

This comical scene, instead of causing the four to laugh, made them stare at the spot where the girl had just fallen, where the neatly cut rock surface was exposed, appearing fearful!

"It’s you!"

Chen Lengqiang spoke, his voice trembling slightly.
