Chapter 1489 - 753: Cautious
Well done! Keep your spirits up! Don't lose points!
Just like the excuses of children being too young, celebrating the New Year, or having already arrived, the lines for instigation have been few since ancient times, with just a bit more variation.
No matter how respectful the tone of the person asking at this moment, how humble the attitude, or how flexible the posture, the meaning conveyed is only one: Hurry up, what are you waiting for!
You wouldn't be chickening out, would you?
Don't dare to fight? Just say it quickly, don't make it seem like the brothers are forcing you.
At this moment, in the dim hall, surrounded by solemn and ferocious reliefs and giant columns, the throne atop the steps was shrouded in tangible darkness, making it impossible to discern the appearance of the person within.
But at this moment, a substantial gaze seemed to project from the darkness towards the foot of the steps, sharp and cold.
"For my affairs, I don't need you sneaky guys to point fingers. Whether to fight or make peace, I decide with a single word."
The Abyss Lord said indifferently, "If you can't wait, you can solve it yourself; no need to travel thousands of miles to provoke me. Or is it that you are so short of a pawn to charge into battle for you?"
Under the steps, a withered and hunched figure lowered its head, the voice indistinguishable as male or female, scratching its ears like a monkey. The raised face showed circulating oils and paint, revealing a fawning smile, so formulaic and perfunctory.
"Although limited in status, unable to openly converse with the Abyss Lord, since a contract is formed, the Abyss Lord should understand my sincere intentions."
Old Monkey said, "At least regarding the matter on Luo Island, our interests are aligned."
"Whether aligned or not, is not your decision."
Still indifferent, the Abyss Lord seemed to assess and suddenly asked, "Can you guarantee that no one else will interfere in this matter?"
Old Monkey sighed helplessly.
So you're really this cautious, unwilling to take any risks?
"It's not that easy for Heavenly People to venture out to sea. A few hundred years ago, leaving without edict was punishable by exterminating the nine clans."
Old Monkey slowly said, "Since the last incident with Lou Suwen, Central City has reprimanded and warned Hai Province. With the Xu Family watching, they can't act easily.
Moreover, as Ji Jue has severed ties with the Seven Cities, the lighthouse of the Seven Cities will not shield him. With the outside harm pressing and the Sea Locust calamity close, moving at this moment, not saying it's effortless, should go smoothly."
Why must the Abyss Lord worry so?
Stop pretending!
You're acting like you've taken such a big risk!
As a Tyrant, would you personally take to the field? Even if you really do, can't fight, but can't you run? The Sea Abyss is so deep, just find a corner to hide for a while, the Federation can't find you, can they?
Life is not easy, Old Monkey sighed.
No way, this Abyss Lord guy is too cowardly, too cautious.
If it weren't for really having no choice this time, he might have just endured it!
Being inexplicably slapped twice by Ji Jue is just that, with a broad mind the Tyrant doesn't care.
As a result, Ji Jue took Luo Island, eradicated the Sujano Family... accidentally sitting on the blood package he had prepared for countless years!
Even with the infinite depths of the Sea Abyss and the worship and followings of the Scale Transformers, speaking with authority in the Sea Abyss, acting as an emperor behind closed doors, yet his Path of the Tyrant has a huge flaw — once humans transform into Scale Transformers, they lose their souls and can't procreate. To maintain authority and status, he needs the Sujano Family to continually offer fresh living sacrifices.
Recently, something inexplicable is happening beneath the Vortex, the tower's attraction is getting closer and stronger, demanding more sacrifices to stabilize its position in the current world.
Add to that the madmen and women from Changle and An Guo left by the Eternal Empire raging around like lunatics, the Abyss Lord is overwhelmed.
Weighing the considerations, he had to reach into the piggy bank he had prepared for years — at this critical moment, the damned Sujano Family is gone!
Replaced by a craftsman who's many times harder to deal with!
In the past, he might have conceded, but now, where else can he find a windfall as big as Luo Island to patch his deficit in such a short time?
Isn't life unbearable?
Waiting until the last moment for a desperate fight would be too late!
The Heavenly Origin Path is progressive, as is the Path of the Tyrant!
Sometimes retreating a step, lacking a bit, missing a fraction can lead to falling into the abyss — this is the Tyrant, possessing infinite power internally, but in reality, just a parasitic entity usurping the tower's authority.
Without the Tyrant, the tower remains; without the tower, the Tyrant is nothing.
"The timing is not right yet."
The Abyss Lord pondered as if troubled, "The gap in sacrifices is still large, hastily using the tower's authority holds too much risk.
Your urging indeed troubles this seat."
"Since it is so, then forget it."
Old Monkey seemed helpless, sighed lightly, as if entirely disinterested in offering a price, completely unhooked: "I'm just a mere emissary with nothing of value, even this body is just a shell, squeezed dry and only scant oil remains, indeed can't help.
If there comes a day when the Abyss Lord changes his mind, find a place, burn this remnant body, and I'll return."
