Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

But if it’s not because of this, then what is it? Could it be...

Chu Xiu glanced at Jiang Miaoyin, who followed him like a little sidekick, and inwardly grumbled: ”It shouldn’t be that kind of melodramatic thing, right....”

At this moment, Chu Xiu found that this Zhang Changchuan gave him an indescribably familiar feeling, especially those eyes, slightly drooping at the corners like a puppy’s.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Xiu suddenly shook his head with a bit of amusement.

”I must be too sensitive.”

”Spiritual Sense, Spiritual Sense, the biggest problem with this thing is its unpredictability; otherwise, wouldn’t it directly replace Divine Sense as the perfect upper position?”

”Even a truly Innate Divine Demon makes mistakes with their Spiritual Sense sometimes.”

Such mistakes weren’t completely opposite or baseless, but often misjudging the severity of issues.

”The feeling just now might simply be because that Zhang Changchuan saw me as a rival for resources, bringing a slight hostility, and I don’t need to be so sensitive.”

With this preconceived notion, examining others would make even the most ordinary person find some faults.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu stopped dwelling on it and started joking with everyone again.

Zhang Changchuan also behaved perfectly normal, which reassured Chu Xiu quite a bit.

By seven o’clock, the banquet officially began, with plates of exorbitantly priced Spirit Beast meat and Spirit Wine being served. At this time, the number of Heroic Spirits gathered in the banquet hall had reached an astonishing ninety-seven, including three Demigods!

This made Chu Xiu think Jiang Miaoyin had understated it. Considering those Heroic Spirits who hadn’t arrived, the total number for this auction might reach as many as one hundred and fifty!

However, everyone tacitly avoided talking about that mysterious item.

It wasn’t until the banquet was nearing its end that Jiang Lingfu finally arrived, fashionably late.

”My apologies, everyone. As the host of this banquet, I’m arriving this late. Let me punish myself with three drinks first!” he said, downing three glasses of Spirit Wine.

Someone jested, ”Old Jiang, you’re just here for the fine wine, aren’t you?”

Amidst this comment, laughter erupted below, and the banquet resumed its lively atmosphere, interrupted briefly by Jiang Lingfu’s arrival.

Chu Xiu also stepped forward and exchanged a few words. Not long after, someone couldn’t resist asking: ”Brother Jiang, what was so urgent? Could you share with us?”

Chu Xiu was curious too, wondering what could keep a Heroic Spirit so busy.

Of course, everyone was pragmatic; if it was Jiang’s family business or involved any secrets, they naturally wouldn’t press further.

However, Jiang Lingfu apparently had no intention of hiding it. Having drunk a lot of wine, his face was as red as a child’s, and he suddenly smashed his glass on the table: ”Damn it, nothing can’t be said, it’s just those damn people from the Free Federation causing trouble again!”

Upon hearing this, all the gathered Heroic Spirits curiously closed in.

Chu Xiu was also quite surprised, not expecting to hear the term ”Free Federation”.

The so-called Free Federation was actually America.

However, after the advent of Extraordinary Power, almost all religions began to explode in rapid growth.

There was no alternative; it’s human nature, in face of despair and the unknown, only faith could offer a moment of peace.

And America, under this impact, tore the already fragmented society further apart into two countries, namely the atheist ”Free Federation” and the God-worshiping ”Supreme Divine Country”.

However, Chu Xiu always felt that the countries across the ocean posed no real threat to Huaxia, especially given the current concentration of resources in the Abyss; there’s nothing worth fighting over on Blue Star. Furthermore, the significant expansion of Blue Star’s area due to Abyssal invasion, coupled with increased navigation risks due to marine biological mutations, further distanced the countries across the ocean.

Yet, here he was, hearing news about this country.

The other Heroic Spirits seemed as surprised as Chu Xiu, and all asked: ”What tricks are the Federation up to this time?”

Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Lingfu took another big swig of wine, then looked at them and softly uttered two words:

”Extreme Dao.”
