Chapter 421 We Are Both Fishermen, So Why Is The Gap So Big?
Seeing these messages one by one, Dongfang Xi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Amplify the comprehension of one's own rules hundreds of times? He really dares to say that!
But after all, it's Chen Yu.
What he said about hundreds of times is truly genuine!
Dongfang Xi, who had just spoken righteously, hesitated.
After pondering for a moment, he replied.
Dongfang Xi: Do you really have the means to capture seven Abyss Demons without causing massive destruction? Those are true gods! Seven of them!
Chen Yu: Do you think I'm joking with you? One hundred percent genuine, okay?
Dongfang Xi: Well...
Chen Yu: To tell you the truth, even if you mobilize all your forces, you probably won't find any clues.
Chen Yu: Even if you're lucky enough to find and destroy the core of the formation, the Abyss Demons are outside the Blue Star and cannot leave. The cult has moved in secret, making it even harder to control.
Chen Yu: If you want to truly prevent their descent, the most you can do is drive them away. But as long as they're not dead, there's still a possibility of a comeback. If you ask higher-ranked gods for help every time, will you still have a good reputation?
Chen Yu: Choose. Believe me, there's meat to eat. Don't believe me, waste favors for nothing, and there may be future troubles.
Looking at the message sent by Chen Yu, Dongfang Xi fell into contemplation.
Just as Chen Yu said.
If seven demons are attempting to bring down true gods, then they must have a reason they can't avoid.
Without sufficient motivation, which true god would risk descending in their true form?
Even if this time they unite all the demigods and put aside everything to successfully prevent the descent, what about the next time? And the time after that?
After experiencing a failure, these cultists will undoubtedly act more cautiously.
A group of demigods can't just revolve around the cult all day long.
As for driving them away, that's even more unreliable.
Although Dongfang Xi is ranked first in the Great Xia Fire Seed Sequence and is being cultivated as a main god.
But in the Fire Seed Sequence, she is not the only one.
There are many main god seeds with the same cultivation standards.
Having a higher-ranked god constantly revolving around her would be too much for her to handle.
Moreover, being helpless in the face of such a trivial matter would likely lower her evaluation in the Fire Seed Sequence.
After a long time, Dongfang Xi finally made a decision.
Dongfang Xi: Alright, I believe you. But when the time comes, you have to tell me the location of the demon's descent. I will gather a few friends to go and watch, just in case something happens.
Chen Yu: It's a deal! Also, the friends you call over won't come in vain. Three tickets to the realm of true gods and three pieces of the Second-Rank Phoenix Robe, you can distribute them yourself, how about that?
Dongfang Xi:... You're really generous, but it's not necessary.
Chen Yu: We're all demigods of the Great Xia, and they're your friends. They deserve support.
After ending the conversation, Dongfang Xi closed the friend panel with a somewhat absent-minded expression.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you?" Emperor Monarch of the Four Directions asked with concern. "We've been together for so many years, if there's something, just say it, let's analyze it together."
"Wang Qiu, I'm really fine, it's just... it's just..." Dongfang Xi said with a somewhat conflicted expression. "Forget it, come with me later, I have something to tell you."
"Okay!" Emperor Monarch of the Four Directions smiled and nodded.
Throughout the demigod meeting, Dongfang Xi was absent-minded, hardly participating in the discussions, just secretly filtering which demigods were worth absolute trust.
Chen Yu's "hundreds of times" and "three tickets to the realm of true gods" kept filling her mind, and the demigods present also felt dwarfed.
They are all fishing enthusiasts.
You demigods are so passionate about catching small shrimps, focusing on such trivial gains.
But Chen Yu is only Rank Four, fishing for seven Abyss Demons, and she even has the Dao Fruit of Laws at her disposal.
Why is there such a huge gap between people?
A group of old things that won't die, one after another, all living to a ripe old age!
Finally, after enduring until the end of the meeting, as the many demigods dispersed, Dongfang Xi couldn't wait to send a message to the target he had already chosen.
...
Cloud River Province.
Chen Yu finally managed to deal with Dongfang Xi, and Yu Wujian dismantled all the ritual arrays.
Together with a group of experts in ritual arrays, they hurriedly returned from River Sun City to Nine Peaks City.
The Special Emergency Response Department of Nine Peaks City has almost transitioned from the shadows to the forefront.
All passages are open, and in the past, there were no people coming in or out for several days, but now it is bustling with people.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Yu Wujian expanded the scope of the mission a few days ago.
But until now, they have only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the cult.
Just as Yu Wujian returned to the Emergency Response Department, he summoned the core members of the mission for a meeting.
He detailed the current situation and countermeasures.
The people present remained silent.
Those who could participate in the cult mission were either elites from the relevant departments of the Soaring Dragon Empire or the top talents from major professions and universities.
The original purpose of sending talented students from major universities on missions was to give them experience and broaden their horizons, so the difficulty level would not be too high.
Many talented students are encountering such a helpless situation for the first time.
If they could really fight the enemy with real weapons, even if they were defeated, it would be due to their own lack of strength and not anyone else's fault.
But now, they haven't even caught a glimpse of the enemy's shadow.
The talented students from various academies couldn't help but feel frustrated and discouraged.
Of course, Chen Yu was an exception.
Throughout the meeting, everyone was engaged in intense discussions.
Only he sat next to Yu Wujian, with his eyebrows lowered and remained silent.
The person with the most authority to speak did not offer any constructive suggestions.
He even secretly memorized Yu Wujian and others' plans.
He was prepared to have Yue Yan go and betray the leader of the cult.
Afraid that one of the destined children present might suddenly explode and inexplicably expose the core members of the cult.
In a sense, at this moment, Chen Yu and the cult that was attempting to summon a demon were on the same side, the most steadfast allies.
For Yu Wujian, Chen Yu was the biggest mole.
After the meeting ended, Yu Wujian began to have designs on Chen Yu.
"Chen Yu, can you... ask the person next to you to assist me?"
"Don't worry, you will be with me during this time, and your safety will not be a problem."
"Her methods are extraordinary. Combined with the information we have now, if we take the initiative, there may be a glimmer of hope."
Yue Yan's performance when she first encountered the ritual array left a deep impression on Yu Wujian.
Coupled with her background in Spirit Partitioning and her exceptional abilities, especially her elusive stealth techniques.
It made Yu Wujian involuntarily think of borrowing Chen Yu's person.
Now, they have secretly locked onto dozens of cultists. If they let Yue Yan track them, they might have unexpected gains.
However, Yue Yan is Chen Yu's person, and she doesn't have the authority to act.
"Oh, you want to borrow my bodyguard? Sure."
Chen Yu generously nodded, then walked to a corner, bent down and picked up a dark lump of flesh, and threw it at Yu Wujian.
"There, I'll lend it to you."
