Chapter 667
Chapter Title: Dark Heaven Village
Asura of the Eight Legions!
I'd heard that this being was the incarnation of battle itself and vied for the top spot in strength among the Eight Legions. I'd seen his face once before when the Eight Legions came to threaten the White Lotus Cult. That's how I recognized him immediately now, though it didn't really matter. There was no particular way to deal with an entity this powerful trying to kill me.
I said to Asura,
"Why are you trying to kill me? At least let me know the reason before I die."
Normally, such a question would come from someone who'd already abandoned all will to live. But my situation was different. Even if I died, gaining even a scrap of information first would be a win, making it arguably more important than the fight itself. As I asked calmly, Asura replied.
"You were already under watch by the Celestial. Then Lord Changhil learned you possess the Imperial Seal of the Realm and began monitoring you. In the end, he discovered you were heading to Dark Heaven Village to find the palace of the Side Heaven Martial Marquis."
"......"
Come to think of it, Changhil was registered as a near-administrator of the Imperial Seal of the Realm. It seemed he could monitor the seal itself if he wanted. But since nothing had happened until now and only now was he making a move, it probably wasn't automatically feeding info to him.
