1472 Demon Chasm
“Still, we know the most basic of principles: that no matter how powerful those two from our clans are, they are only human. In this world, only a demon can kill another demon! That isn’t sothing I say, but what the Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade said when they eradicated Ashen Dragon and Hidden Moon 40,000 years ago.
“I don’t like the Skywings because they destroyed the Ashen Dragon and Hidden Moon factions, sothing that our ancestors had worked hard to establish, but I have to admit that those madn are more than capable of facing up against the Demon Chasm. Rember what the Skywings said before they departed?”
Traveling Buddha slightly nodded, “‘We’ve Sealed the Demon Chasm, but there’s no guarantee that it will hold forever. From here on, you’re on your own!'”
“That’s the line,” Thousand Ink sighed. “The Skywings sure are a bunch of inscrutable people. On the one hand, they eradicated Ashen Dragon and Hidden Moon and are our mortal enemies. But on the other hand, it seems we were saved by the Skywings!
“Little Old Buddha, I know you’ve never enjoyed troubleso things, but right now, only you can make this decision. If you decide to send the news about the reappearance of the Demon Chasm back to the headquarters, we brothers will put our lives on the line for your sake, hijack a ship, charge through the spatial shielding, and risk it all just so we can report this to the Headquarters. But if you decide to not make a move, everyone will continue to bide our ti.”
Traveling Buddha felt that he was in an awkward position. He did not enjoy being a decision maker, but right now, Traveling Buddha felt what it was like to not have Xia Fan by his side. Though Xia Fan was from so unremarkable background, it had been him who had been making all the decisions during the ti they spent as partners, and those decisions had all been correct.
Furthermore, Xia Fan was good at decision-making and thinking things through, and he never hesitated, even once!
Just what exactly should I do?
Traveling Buddha painfully slipped into deep thought. Murder Shrine’s forces were everywhere, and their enemy’s strength was so much greater. Furthermore, the entire star system had spatial shielding, aning that they first had to hijack a ship and then escape the shielded region before they could even send a ssage out!
Traveling Buddha believed that with experts like Thousand Ink, Jin Yu, and Luo Jiuyi, they would not have much difficulty getting a hold of a spaceship, but the key was that they still had to fly their way out of the star system. This process would surely alert the warships that were patrolling out there, and the mont the ship was destroyed after sending out the ssage, then everything would be for naught!
Nevertheless, sitting around and waiting for things to happen was not the solution, either. Who knew whether the so-called special ability Tyrant Battle was real or not? What if the battle was not a thing, and that Murder Shrine had gathered all the experts of the Outer Frontier just to activate the Demon Chasm?
Traveling Buddha could not make up his mind. He grit his teeth and said to Thousand Ink, “I’ll try and look for Xia Fan tomorrow, and hear his thoughts on the matter. But no matter what we end up doing, we must look out for each other, so we can all gather together even in the event of an ergency. We’ll need your power to achieve that.”
Thousand Ink thought about it and said, “No problem. Managing the big picture is my speciality.”
Traveling Buddha nodded, “Tonight, send your little guys out to et Xia Fan, and rember his features.”
“Got it. Where is this Xia Fan right now?”
Traveling Buddha scratched his head and replied helplessly, “He got locked up, and is even wearing a pair of disruptor handcuffs!”
