You want me to take out a loan to practice cultivation? I'll just pay off the debt physically.

Chapter 153 I still like your rebellious attitude (5k)

The demon-slaying captain burst out laughing upon hearing this.

【Your country?】

Did you shoot this down?

What qualifications do we have?

We don't need qualifications, because we are the qualifications themselves!

At that time, this land was a desolate wasteland, occupied by the Abyss of Demons!

[If it weren't for the arrival of the Red Heart Society to sweep everything away, do you think you would have the right to live here?]

Now, my comrades, my fellow soldiers, the people I admire most are fighting bravely on the front lines, forging a Great Wall of flesh and blood with their lives to protect the rear and give you peaceful times.

But what about you?

[Your higher-ups are actually followers of the Abyss Church!]

We are fighting on the front lines, while they are using our lives as a bargaining chip, trading them for their own gain in the abyss!

【You live under the protection of our Red Heart Society, yet your leaders betray us; how can we not intervene?】

On the other side, the representative of Farah's Ideal Country seemed not to have heard the demon-slaying captain's words, his face full of resentment.

Our country's affairs should be handled by our own people!

You have no right to represent us!

These words immediately elicited a tremendous response from those behind.

【that is! 】

[Quickly put down our leader!]

You don't know how good our leader is to us, but don't we know?

【.】

The residents of Farah's Ideal Kingdom began to clamor, hoping that the public outcry they had generated would force the Red Heart Society's exorcism team to stop what they were doing.

After all, the Ideal State is a member of the Loyal Heart camp, and any matter involving the national level must be handled with utmost caution.

Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed this time.

Faced with this media storm, the exorcism team leader knew it was a scheme orchestrated by the higher-ups of Farah's Ideal State, so he directly contacted the exorcism team's leadership.

The higher-ups in the exorcism team directly transferred his communications to Lin Xue's.

Lin Xue's expression remained unchanged after witnessing firsthand the opposition from the residents of Fara's Ideal Country.

[Afterwards, she issued orders from the Red Heart Society headquarters to the nearby militia.]

The abyss is our mortal enemy!

Anyone who ventures into the abyss will be killed without mercy!

On this matter!

Investigate thoroughly!

There is no upper limit!

Anyone who obstructs the exorcism team from handling cases will be punished for colluding with the Abyss!

Now, obey my orders!

The militia launched military operations in the surrounding area as a first warning!

[Those who do not leave after this warning will be killed!]

[Upon learning of the betrayals committed by the various ideal states on the distant continent, Lin Xue felt a surge of anger.]

In her opinion, these people were utterly ungrateful!

Is the Abyss's massive invasion solely aimed at destroying the Red Heart Society?

The demise of numerous nations, including the White Eagle Empire, the Winter Empire, and the Peacock Empire, wasn't bloody enough already?

[A little dog food is thrown out from the abyss, and they immediately wag their tails and beg for mercy.]

【nausea!】

[Moreover, the exorcism team's legitimate investigation has sparked large-scale opposition from the local residents. How can this be tolerated?]

However, the residents of Fara's ideal world believed this was merely a stopgap measure by the demon-slaying team, a way to fool them!

How could the Red Heart Society, so friendly to the lower classes, so kind, so quick to judge aristocratic families and stand up for the common people, issue such a brutal order?

[But the militia didn't care about all that. After receiving Lin Xue's orders, they immediately began issuing warnings.]

The next moment, he drew his large sword and began to kill!

As those who had been manipulating public opinion died, their corpses revealing the true form of the Abyss Lord, the demon-slaying team silently drew their greatswords.

【I see! 】

This protest was actually orchestrated by the Church of the Abyss.

[If that's the case, then they absolutely cannot let this group go.]

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!

When facing the Church of the Abyss, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

In December of the 147th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Red Heart Society ordered the repossession of all lands granted to the Ideal State.

The Red Heart Army has begun a large-scale incursion.

Anyone who obstructs the Red Heart Army will be executed on the spot!

Since the projected will of the Abyss intends to use manipulation to incite unrest within the Red Heart Society, the Red Heart Society will respond with a purely military-style system of control.

Under the direct command of the Red Heart Army, all actions of the Abyss Church will cease to exist.

Of course, in this process, some idealistic forces are unwilling to relinquish the lands granted to them by the Loyal Heart Society.

They felt that since the Red Heart Society had given it to them, this land belonged to them.

[For those who can't see reality, Chi Xin will teach them a lesson with the military force at their disposal.]

In February of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, as the Demon Extermination Team conducted its surveillance activities on the distant continent, all other Idealist factions, except for the members of the Red Heart Society, were on edge.

[Yet every day, members of the Church of the Abyss are caught.]

Every day, the demon-slaying team makes new discoveries.

The countermeasure from the projected will of the abyss came swiftly as well.

A colossal pink altar suddenly appeared in a remote area of ​​the distant ocean continent.

Any living being that passes through this area will be affected by this pink altar and become a staunch supporter of the abyss.

[By offering up what you possess or what you have taken from others, you can receive the blessings of the fan altar.]

Of course, the hypnotic and seductive power of the pink altar is not strong; in fact, it can be described as very subtle.

Therefore, professionals who have reached the first job advancement level or higher can purify this power on their own.

[The pink altar appears in a location far from the Red Heart Society's territory on the distant continent. Those living in this area are mostly members of the Idealist faction who have fled.]

Lured by extraordinary power and with the abyssal projection's reckless investment, a demonic tide rapidly formed in this region.

[Even among them, two incredibly powerful level 99 Abyss Lords were born.]

[Given the situation here, Lin Xue personally led four Demon-Sealing Battle Groups here.]

To be honest, the Red Heart Society headquarters didn't initially take the Abyss Church's petty actions seriously.

[With the imprint of their ideology, all core members of the Red Heart Society will be firmly bound to you, fighting for themselves and for the Red Heart.]

The appearance of three extremely powerful Abyss Lords on the distant continent indicates that the Abyss's projected will is gradually shifting its power towards the distant continent.

Therefore, someone needs to be stationed there to oversee things.

You command the main battlefront, leading the Red Heart Legion against the Abyss's top forces.

[Deng Qi commands the auxiliary army, stationed at the Abyss Battlefield, to resist the forces from all sides, providing the Red Heart Society with vast resources and extraordinary mineral veins for its future development.]

Clearly, Lin Xue is the most suitable candidate at present.

However, Lin Xue's style of handling things will not be so gentle after arriving on the distant continent.

In Lin Xue's eyes, aside from the local residents of the Red Heart Society, no one else could be considered human!

[They enjoy the subsidies and benefits of the Red Heart Society, yet they betray it.]

Such a power, such a country, has no reason to continue existing.

[Therefore, the first thing Lin Xue did upon arriving was to immediately activate special military equipment to eliminate all the problematic forces that were frequently causing trouble.]

The reason we didn't use super weapons is because their impact would be too great; in this vast ocean continent, a mishap could easily affect members of the Red Heart Society.

[Then, without any external interference, Lin Xue directly mobilized the Demon-Sealing Battle Group to begin the encirclement and annihilation of this group of traitors.]

[If these people were to gain power from the abyss and then turn against the abyssal demonic tide, betraying the abyssal projection's will, then she might think more highly of them.]

Ultimately, they are human beings too!

In the face of racial wars and world wars, isn't the first reaction to betray the strongest member of one's own race a pure act of treason?

Since that's the situation, she doesn't need to be polite.

They deserve to be killed!

[Let's blow it up!]

In short, she would use every means at her disposal to eradicate the Abyss Church active on the distant continent in the shortest possible time.

In May of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Lin Xue simultaneously swept through the Abyss Church and arranged for the Demon Sealing Warband and the Crimson Heart Army to enter the Abyss battlefield.

[If the Abyss Battlefield on the main continent falls in the future, at least the Abyss Battlefield on the distant ocean continent can make up for the loss.]

Although resources are scarce in this abyss battlefield, something is better than nothing.

In July of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, Lin Xue received a telepathic message from the Nine-Turn Orca.

[It turns out that after the Abyss began its invasion, the sea monsters received the world's sorrow and indignation.]

The sea creatures knew all too well that once the abyss completely swallowed the world, death awaited them. But the resistance of human civilization was too brilliant; single-handedly, they managed to hold back the abyss's onslaught.

Most marine mammal groups do not care about the situation of continental creatures.

After all, once they gained intelligence, they believed that the ocean comprised the vast majority of the world, and that marine life outnumbered terrestrial life countless times.

Therefore, the main force truly resisting the invasion of the Abyss is still on their side.

Only a few highly intelligent groups, such as orcas, sent members of their own kind to observe the resistance of human civilization from afar using extraordinary means during the initial stages of the abyss invasion.

Having witnessed the power of the super military weapon, they negotiated and decided to seek out the Red Heart Society to discuss how to resist the invasion of the Abyss.

After learning the whole story, Lin Xue told you about it.

You once held certain hopes for the sea monster race.

After all, in the previous timeline, the sea monster race did play a certain role in resisting the invasion of abyssal creatures.

However, it only has a limited effect.

After all, the sea monster horde, whose numbers were many times greater than those of land creatures, only held out for a few months.

How can this not be a failure?

Furthermore, unable to establish effective communication and contact with the sea monsters, he abandoned the path of uniting with them.

But since the orca clan has come knocking, it's only natural to form an alliance if we can gain their assistance.

[In August of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the patriarch of the Orca Clan, a super strong individual with a cultivation level of 97, transformed into human form and brought the Orca Clan's high-ranking members to the headquarters of the Crimson Heart Society.]

[But right now, you can't personally receive them.]

[In response to your answer, the orca chief waved his hand and smiled, indicating that he understood.]

The other orca executives also behaved very politely, and none of them showed any negative emotions.

On the one hand, they knew the Red Heart Society was fighting on the front lines.

On the other hand, the Crimson Hearts Legion is a powerful force capable of easily crushing level 99 Abyss Lords; how could they possibly try to take advantage of them?

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is truly ingrained in people's minds.

When faced with being devoured by the strong, some of the weak don't even dare to resist.

They had absolutely no reason to offend the Red Heart Society over something so understandable; only a brainless idiot would do that.

They're not stupid!

I'm here to seek cooperation, not to start a fight.

Of course, there's one more thing.

Orcas are naturally drawn to humans; otherwise, they wouldn't bother to cultivate shapeshifting techniques to transform themselves into human form.

Influenced by these combined factors, they developed a very favorable impression of the Red Heart Society and believed it to be a key member leading the world to victory.

He came here hoping to exchange information; he found the Red Heart Society's battle formations quite interesting.

[Their orca clan also possesses corresponding combined battle formations, and coupled with some magical potion recipes from the depths of the sea, they might be able to offer some assistance to the Red Heart Society.]

[In September of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, at your invitation, the Orca Clan constructed a marine structure and teleportation array next to the headquarters of the Red Heart Society.]

Their tribe can trade via teleportation arrays, and members of the Red Heart Society can also use the orca tribe's teleportation arrays to enter the ocean and seek their own opportunities.

Personnel from the Red Heart Research Institute immediately went to visit the orca kingdom deep in the ocean.

It must be said that different ethnic groups and species build completely different structures and other related structures!

In short, it was an eye-opening experience.

[In particular, the products related to the orca kingdom have greatly inspired the various research groups at the Red Heart Research Institute.]

For a time, all the researchers entered a phase of working day and night without rest.

[In version 4.0 of the Crimson Heart Battle Formation, after the Orca Kingdom paid a large amount of valuable resources, the resources were traded to them.]

[In the same month, the orca chieftain personally led a force of 40,000 of his most elite orca warriors to provide support on the main battlefield.]

Although orcas do not offer you loyalty and cannot enjoy the blessings of human will and talent.

[The other enhancements in the Battle Aura domain are based on the assessment of our allies.]

Orcas can enjoy this benefit.

Thus, the Orca Legion was born, surpassing the Demon Sealing Legion but slightly inferior to the Crimson Heart Legion!

In November of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, with the cooperation of the Orca Legion, the Crimson Heart Legion swept through the enemy lines, instantly subduing the unruly deer demon.

After several unsuccessful attempts to break through, the deer demon knelt down with a thud, fawningly begging for mercy.

[He declared himself nothing but a fart!]

What I said before was all bullshit!

He hoped that the Red Heart Society would treat him like a fart, and that he could trade a large amount of supplies for them if they were willing.

Within the Deer Demon clan, He was valued by the elders and held a certain status.

Therefore, as long as you let Him go, He can give you a large amount of extraordinary resources, the top-tier kind!

You look at the other person and smile silently.

【Deer Demon!】

Compared to your current fawning and pleading, I much preferred to see your defiant attitude when you first appeared.

Let's restore it!

This sentence ignited the deer demon's will to survive.

He was a little suspicious, wondering if you had such a little quirk.

[But just as He assumed an aloof and arrogant stance, the Crimson Heart Battle Group's annihilating attack landed on His head.]

Even on his deathbed, He had many doubts.

If you want to kill Him, why talk to Him so much?

Despite the prolonged siege, this deer demon, who appeared so arrogant and domineering, seemingly holding the power of the abyss in its hands, ultimately died at the hands of the humans it despised.

The orca chieftain stood to the side, watching all this, his pupils dilating in shock.

Oh my god!

Battle formations invented by humankind are truly effective!

[He actually managed to kill a demon two levels above him!]

This is truly a great invention!

【Whoosh! 】

Just then, a blood-red mark suddenly flew out from between the deer demon's eyebrows.

In an instant, this blood-red mark was branded onto your brow.

The next moment, the blood-red mark surged forth carrying an extremely violent surge of soul energy.

[How dare you!]

How dare you kill my child!

No matter who you are, you must do this today.

[Before the furious voice could finish speaking, a surge of human will within you instantly erased the crimson mark.]

The will of humanity within you is a formidable power capable of directly confronting the projected will of the abyss.

[To quell a soul attack that spans worlds is child's play!]

But the crimson mark between your brows did not disappear with the loss of the soul attack.

Human will remains as aloof as ever, only responsible for protecting your soul, completely indifferent to your physical body.

The orca chieftain expressed great concern about this matter.

[The commotion just now clearly indicated that the father of this incredibly powerful Abyss Lord had made his move. Being able to launch an attack across worlds suggests that he has likely transcended the level 99 realm.]

But you seem completely unconcerned about this.

[Minor issue!]

[You've even dealt with the Abyss Projection Will, why are you worried about such a small piece of trash?]

Most importantly, worrying is useless!

[You can't expect the Deer Demon to come and kill you, and you just sit back and do nothing, can you?]

[In December of the 148th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Orca Legion, with your assistance, once again slew the Blood Demon and the Gold Demon.]

The remaining powerful Abyss Lords, under the power of the Wind Demon Leader, transformed into a swift gust of wind and vanished before your eyes.

[This will make you remember that wind demon!]

[If I ever get the chance again, I must be the first to kill them!]

[Or, to put it another way, develop a technology and ruthless technique that can restrict the opponent's rapid movement.]

[And the fall of these two level 99 demons also left two marks appearing between your eyebrows.]

Clearly, the batch of super-powerful Abyss Lords sent by the Abyss's projected will are not like the Lava Demons, who fight alone; they are backed by truly powerful forces or races.

But so what?

Killing one is the same as killing two!

[Having too many lice means you won't be afraid of them biting!]

If you're so capable, come across the world and kill me!

Anyway, you don't care about it.

When the Lava Demon saw the mark between your eyebrows, and then glanced at the three enormous corpses of the Deer Demon, Blood Demon, and Gold Demon ahead, it felt a chill run down its spine.

[By the Will of the Abyss!]

Who have you been fighting all this time?
