Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 464: Chapter 336: Leaving the Avengers Alliance

After everyone left, Hong Tao sighed slightly.

No one expected that the Space Gate would suddenly merge, without any warning, taking everyone by surprise.

Overnight, the whole nation fell into turmoil, and the world was shaken.

”Why the sigh? It’s something we anticipated; it just happened a few years earlier than expected.”

Xie Chun, an Extraordinary Powerhouse, said, seemingly unconcerned.

Hong Tao glanced at Xie Chun. If it weren’t for her slightly furrowed brows, one might really think she wasn’t worried.

”Luckily, it was in your stationed ’Land of Chaos’. If it were me, it’s likely I would have perished.”

Xie Chun looked at Hong Tao’s missing right arm, her tone heavy.

Regrowing a severed arm isn’t that easy.

Among the three of them, Hong Tao was the strongest, and even he sustained such severe injuries. If it were them, it would indeed be very dangerous.

Huaxia publicly has only thirteen Emperors, and even in reality, they do not exceed twenty.

If one fell, it would not only be a severe blow to morale but also cause a chain reaction, greatly affecting the situation.

”Yeah, when power is suppressed, besides innate skills, most Soul Skills cannot be released, and even if they can be, they lack power.”

Hong Tao said, a hint of a bitter smile on his lips.

Even now, he still has lingering fears.

Jue Tian is truly a terrifying Assassin.

The Night Demon Spirit is also one of the top-tier Demon Spirits for Assassins.

If he weren’t Extraordinary, with spiritual power and reaction speed far exceeding ordinary people, he might have really died at Jue Tian’s hands.

An Extraordinary Powerhouse dying at the hands of a Seventh Grade Flying Realm individual would truly be ”immortalized in history”.

Being severed of an arm in this instance was also quite embarrassing, likely inviting laughter for quite some time.

Seeing the bitterness at Hong Tao’s mouth, Xie Chun also found it amusing, though not mockingly; if it were she, it would have been worse.

However, as an Emperor, stumbling this hard was quite something.

This had never happened before.

Other Emperors would likely laugh for a long time.

Xie Chun consoled Hong Tao:

”Haha, it is a bit awkward, but with power and Soul Skill suppression, there is no helping it. Although Jue Tian is only Seventh Grade, he alone could block an entire gate, and the Night Demon is a Divine Level Demon Spirit.”

Hong Tao didn’t continue the topic; someone of his strength doesn’t need consolation. His expression turned serious:

”Let’s not talk about this now; the main thing is to discuss specific incentive rules.”

The primary task now is the key contest.

And for this, a lot of talents are needed.

With power suppressed, King Level powerhouses are not as formidable as super talents.

The 127 members of the Glory Race represent 127 King Level powerhouses or super talents.

But this is far from enough.

To ensure success in the key contest, the more talents, the better.

As Emperors, they represent the nation, but they cannot force anyone to enter the ”Land of Chaos”.

Their esteemed status as Emperors, stronger than Kings, does not mean they can order Kings to risk their lives.

Everything operates by rules.

This ensures social stability and keeps the public’s hearts steady.

Even the Glory Race is not forced.

Privileges come with a price; if no one is willing to venture, there will be no punishment, just a loss of the ”Glory” title and inability to enjoy privileges in the future.

As for the Guardians or the various academies, there is no forced requirement.

Participation is entirely voluntary.

”Specific rewards should be developed by professionals.”

The always silent Martial Emperor Chen Tiangeng spoke.

”Hmm.”

Hong Tao nodded, then after a moment of silence, said, ”If Lin Feng’s group of seven join, the success rate of the key contest will be higher.”

”Indeed, but it has to be voluntary.”

Xie Chun slightly nodded in agreement.

Lin Feng and his group, in the Jade Seal Spatial Gate, hunted alien race talents unharmed and even forced the alien race to withdraw from Jade Seal City, proving their strength.

If they join, they will make faction talents and powerhouses hesitant, raising the key contest success rate by at least ten to twenty percent.

The contribution of Lin Feng’s group is far more significant than that of seven King Level individuals.

But correspondingly, they would be in more danger.

Lin Feng’s group, having slain three to four hundred alien race talents, is deeply hated by the alien race.

If they enter the ”Land of Chaos”, countless alien races will hunt them.

More dangerous than anyone else.

The key contest is already brutally intense, this time ten times more so.

Moreover, in Jade Seal City, Lin Feng’s group faced same-tier opponents, but this time, any power level talents from the alien race might appear.

Kings, or even Emperors.

Figures like Jue Tian are not rare; there are plenty.

If Lin Feng’s group enters, it can be described as a narrow escape with death almost certain.

They wish to involve Lin Feng’s group but can’t force them.

Forced participation is possible but would chill hearts.

In the future, no talents would dare reveal their gifts, let alone hunt alien races.

Getting Lin Feng’s group to join voluntarily is also challenging.

Knowing the odds of death, no one would want to die.

They, as Emperors, won’t enter the ”Land of Chaos” this time.

Their importance can’t be matched by Kings.

If they don’t enter, how can they force these kids?

Moreover, Lin Feng’s group is not easily coerced; aside from Yu Qiao, the others have factions supporting them.

”If you wish them to join, offer them irresistible temptation. Maybe first send someone to probe their attitudes and thoughts.”

Chen Tiangeng suggested.

Hong Tao nodded slightly, seeming to acknowledge it as the only option.

...

While Hong Tao and the others deliberated how to get Lin Feng’s group to join, the Avengers Alliance members were also considering.

Just after the previous meeting ended, Lin Feng and his team received various ”invitations”.

Suddenly, they seemed like hot commodities with numerous people from the Glory Race appearing to invite them.

Compared to Yun Kai and Ye Qiu, Yu Qiao was surprisingly more favored.

This was a treatment he had never experienced before.

”I want a Six-winged Illusion Python!”

Yu Qiao said to the middle-aged uncle before him.

He had said this five times already.

The middle-aged man called himself Fang Tong, from the Fang Family in Shangjing.

”Change the condition; a Six-winged Illusion Python can’t be found.”

Fang Tong smiled wryly.

Even if he could find it, he couldn’t afford it.

”I only want a Six-winged Illusion Python.”

Despite offering various conditions, including an exorbitant fifty billion benefit fee, Yu Qiao merely shook his head, leaving Fang Tong with no choice but to give up.

”A Six-winged Illusion Python is impossible to have, and even if it were, it’s impractical to give you. It’s better to ask for New Coin.”

Seeing Yu Qiao’s persistence, Zhan Tianyu advised.

Exactly how much a Six-winged Illusion Python costs is unknown, but at least a hundred billion, and even money can’t guarantee its purchase.

Divine-level demon spirits and those possessing divine soul skills are recorded and cannot be sold freely.

”What do you know? A good soul skill can’t be bought even with money. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, my best chance to become a top-tier assassin.”

Yu Qiao said earnestly.

You could say this is his closest chance to get a Six-winged Illusion Python.

Compared to others, Yu Qiao received the most invitations, but he knows, this doesn’t mean he is the strongest or most valued.

On the contrary, he is the least important.

Yun Kai, Zhan Tianyu, Huang Tianze, and Yang Ningbing are all children of the Glory Race, representing their families, unlikely to be recruited.

Ye Qiu refined the Thorny Demon Dragon and has family backing, unlikely to take risks, and even if possible, impossible to recruit easily.

Lin Feng, needless to say, with billion-worth bounties on him, entering the ”Land of Chaos” makes him a primary target; survival is nearly impossible.

Compared to others, he has capability but lacks family backing, and hasn’t refined a top-tier demon spirit, making him easier to recruit.

Yu Qiao is aware, so this is his only chance to obtain a Six-winged Illusion Python.

”Suit yourself, as long as you’re happy.”

Seeing advice was futile, Zhan Tianyu helplessly shook his head.

A divine-level soul skill isn’t that easy to acquire.

Even in this special period.

Whether he gets the Six-winged Illusion Python or not, Yu Qiao seems to have decided to join.

While they were still hesitating.

As children of prominent families, they lack nothing in resources and seem to have no reason to take this risk.

But if not joining, as Lin Feng and others grow stronger, they risk falling behind.

It’s not only a matter of power disparity but also friendship and collective considerations.

These are very real issues.

Lin Feng risked aftereffects to help them absorb soul skills mainly to combat the alien races together.

At this critical point, if they cower, will Lin Feng continue to help them absorb soul skills in the future?

Would adventurers like Yun Kai and Yu Qiao harbor any grudges or doubts in the future?

Falling behind could mean being kicked from the Avengers Alliance.

This price is immensely high.

But joining requires their family’s consent.

Thinking of this, Zhan Tianyu glanced at Yang Ningbing beside him, the two exchanging glances as if recognizing each other’s thoughts and hesitations.
