Chapter 2315: Outside Visitor

Zu An felt a headache coming on when he heard that. “First miss, please don’t be too reckless. There are already so many powerful being who have perished in that world, and that place has already established a complete world barrier. It isn’t too likely that we'll be able to enter it again.”

He could only do his best to dissuade her from executing this plan. After all, the transport disc was now destroyed, and he didn’t have the ability to return to the Cultivation World right now. If he really could bring her there, he wouldn’t mind bringing her with him! Forget about her, he would even take the Monster Lord with him. Once they were in his hfield, he could borrow the world’s authority to do whatever he wanted. It wouldn’t be like this world, where he had to always walk on thin ice.

Salamay frowned. “It seems almost as if you're having thoughts about siding with the Monster Lord, and you don’t want to completely side with us.”

Zu An was speechless. He knew that the other party had misunderstood, but this was fine too, since it would help him keep his secret.

Salamay continued, “That’s right, the prestige that the Monster Lord has accumulated all this tstill exists. It’s natural for you to be hesitant. But there's something that you probably still don’t know about. Once you hear it, you might not trust the Monster Lord anymore.”

“What is it?” Zu An was really happy to hear that. He hadn’t expected this sudden precious information.

“Do you know that the Monster Lord recently invited an outsider?” Salamay stared at him.

“An outsider?” Zu An wondered if Donaire would have known about that, but he felt that the latter likely hadn't.

Sure enough, Salamay didn’t grow suspicious and continued, “That’s right. He cfrom a distant world, and his status in that world doesn’t seem to be low.”

Zu An frowned slightly. “Since we’ve found a new world, why aren’t we leading our army to seize theirs instead?”

The Monster World’s biggest crisis was that this world was on the brink of destruction. That was why they wanted to migrate to a new one outside, and continued to send their strongest forces to invade other worlds. The Cultivation World’s barrier was now fully established, so the monsters’ invasion was already hopeless. Now that there was news of a new world, didn’t that mean there was a way out?

“Heh, do you think he doesn’t want to?” Salamay sneered and said, “The Monster Lord tried to capture the other party and find out the location of that world. Unfortunately, he failed. That world’s emissary is exceptionally powerful.”

Zu An shivered. The Monster World was already really strong, and the Monster Lord was the undisputed king of countless monsters. Someone that terrifying actually couldn't do anything to the emissary of a different world? Just a single Monster Lord already scared him quite a bit, and now there was another powerful enemy. It seemed this situation was going to be harder to deal with than he'd expected.

“The Monster Lord really is incompetent. If my father were here, he would be nothing like that.” Salamay was happy talking about his misfortune.

Zu An took the chance to praise the Lord of Slaughter a bit.

Salamay enjoyed hearing that a lot. Her expression eased up considerably. “Actually, it's one thing if the Monster Lord can’t win against that emissary, but what's worse is that he plans to sell out our entire world.”

“Sell out? How can that be?!” Zu An looked as if he was extremely shocked.

But he was also a bit confused.

Sell this world out? How can you even sell a Monster World like this?

Salamay said with a sneer, “It’s to be sold to that world, of course. Their world has a secret method where as long as a contract is signed, they can bind themselves to a magic beast. Then, the master can use the magic beast’s power whenever they wish, which can increase their strength several times just like that.”

“Master?” Zu An keenly locked in on that word.

“That’s right!” Salamay gritted her teeth and said, “The Monster Lord actually wants us to depend on that world and bectheir eternal slaves!”

“That’s absolutely preposterous!” Zu An was really shocked, but he still spoke up to build rapport. “It has always been our Monster World that has enslaved other worlds; how can we becthe slaves of another world?!”

When she saw his rage, Salamay nodded in satisfaction. “That’s right! He actually wants to turn our world into livestock? What need is there left for this Monster Lord?!”

Zu An suddenly felt a bit strange and asked, “Hm? How did the first miss manage to get access to such confidential information?”

Normally, someone like Salamay would be considered a remnant evil from the former regime. Even if the Monster Lord didn’t kill her, he would definitely remain on guard against her, not letting her have access to such secretive information.

Salamay sneered. “In the end, isn’t it because the Monster Lord was unable to bring everyone out of this doomsday scenario? Almost all of his plans failed. The invasion of that human Cultivation World was made out to be such a huge deal, and yet the three great armies that he bragged about all failed. Everyone else’s patience toward him has already reached its limit.”

She paused for a moment before saying, “That's why all of the great clans have been reminiscing about the greatness of my father's past reign... There's no harm in telling you that roughly sixty percent of the clans have already sided with us. As long as the timing is right, we can immediately take over the position of the Monster Lord.”

“Sixty percent?” Zu An’s eyes narrowed. He had to admit that this Monster Lord really wasn’t doing too well. There were only traitors and backstabbers around him.

He didn’t completely trust the number. Salamay was likely exaggerating to sway Donaire into coming onboard with her. However, the truth probably wasn't too different. The Monster Lord definitely had a lot of disloyal people around him, or else Salamay wouldn’t have been able to learn of such confidential information.

When he realized that, he put on an obsequious smile and said, “The first miss truly shares the outstanding demeanor of your father. This humble one has nothing but admiration!”

“Then what is the young master’s decision?” Salamay stared at Zu An.

“I will follow the first miss and bear loyalty to your esteemed father!” Zu An immediately said.

Salamay was happy to hear this. “That’s good. Then you are to immediately arrange a trip to the Cultivation World for me. I will personally rescue my father and bring him back.” She was already losing patience after having sent people so many times, yet coming up empty-handed.

Zu An was immediately a bit troubled. “I might not be able to accomplish this in the short term.”

Salamay’s face darkened. “Then were you lying to me?”

“The first miss has misunderstood. The Cultivation World’s barrier has already formed, so entering is already almost impossible. Only the ancient methods of my clan can accomplish traveling between the two worlds. I have already used up all of my resources and need sspecial materials to recreate the transport formation. However, I lack the related materials right now.”

“What materials do you need?” Salamay frowned.

“Those materials are all under the control of the Monster Lord. I fear that...” Zu An was thinking, Like hell I know what materials are needed! But he already had a countermeasure for that. This world’s resources all had set limits for their allocation. There were sprecious materials that were definitely under the Monster Lord’s control.

As expected, Salamay didn’t continue asking. Instead, she remained silent for a moment before saying, “I will try to find a way to get you into his treasury and give it a try. Wait for news from me!”

“Thank you, first miss!” Zu An replied, overjoyed. He'd never expected to randomly gain such an ally.
