From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 405 - 278: Mastery, Wind Dragon Power_3

If the previous batch of humans had angered the elves, this regulation should have been issued much earlier.

Yet the decree came out only ten days ago, which suggests it could be the Superpower Users called up in this round who have had a conflict with the elves.

But there’s something odd about this rule.

If the Superpower Users had angered the elves, they would have become direct enemies, not just barred from entering the city.

All in all, there’s something eerie about this situation.

"Have there been any other incidents?" Lu Heng continued to inquire about the situation in Kolos City.

Having spent over ten days at Storm Cliff, he had arrived in Kolos City later than planned and was unaware of any events that might have occurred here.

Rong Xincheng thought for a moment, then responded, "Yes, five days ago, the elves issued a bounty for the head of an Abyss Summoner. We followed the clues to track the Abyss Summoner in the wild, and then a fight broke out.

"Just like us, there were other human teams tracing the Abyss Summoner.

"During the battle, a figure of considerable combat power appeared, who did not seem to be human.

"After this mysterious individual showed up, they began attacking the human teams, intending to kill.

"One of our team members was injured. Realizing something wasn’t right, we hastily retreated. But I heard that other Superpower User teams have suffered casualties.

"I suspect this sudden appearance of the mysterious figure is the ’unknown force’ mentioned in the Main Quest."

After listening to his story, Lu Heng took another look at the content of the Main Quest.

The second Main Quest provided information about evading the pursuit of an unknown force.

According to what Rong Xincheng said, this mysterious person could indeed be the unknown force referred to in the quest.

Lu Heng pressed on, "Can you determine the identity of this mysterious person? Or their species, are you sure they’re not human?"

Rong Xincheng furrowed his brow, recalling the event, and answered, "The person was cloaked head to toe, their face invisible, even their skin wasn’t visible.

"However, I had a close encounter, and I’m pretty certain they were not human. I’m not so inept as to be unable to recognize whether my opponent is human or not."

Lu Heng then asked, "What species does the Abyss Summoner belong to?"

"They’re of the Bloodline Clan. The bounty target we found earlier was from the Bloodline Clan, but we’re not sure if there are Abyss Summoners from other species." As he spoke, Rong Xincheng pulled out a signet of the Bloodline Clan and showed it to Lu Heng.

Strictly speaking, demons summoned from the Abyss could be a mix of multiple species, but usually, they are monospecies dominant.

Especially species like the Bloodline Clan, which are large in scale and numerous enough to handle summons, it’s quite rare to encounter mixed species situations.

Lu Heng pondered a while and said, "If it’s the Bloodline Clan, then it’s highly unlikely there are Abyss Summoners from other species. Could this mysterious person you mentioned possibly be a Bloodline Demon?"

Rong Xincheng frowned as he reminisced, slowly shaking his head, "It doesn’t seem likely, nor did this mysterious person cooperate with the Bloodline Demons; they even deliberately distanced themselves from them. If they were a Bloodline Demon, they should have joined forces, right?"

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if it were a Bloodline Demon, they would join forces. If this mysterious person isn’t human or a Bloodline Demon, then who could it be? Do you think it could be one of the Undead, or perhaps a higher-Level Witch Demon?"

This time, Rong Xincheng wore an uncertain expression, "That... I don’t know. The mysterious person used a polearm, mainly relying on physical attacks. I didn’t see any Undead System spells, nor can I be certain if they’re concealing their abilities."

From the information available, the identity of the mysterious person remains a mystery.

If this "mysterious person" were a Demon from the Abyss, it would be even harder to determine.

The Queldorei Continent has been invaded by the Abyss for seven hundred years, with countless Abyss Demons making their appearance.

Any type of Abyss Demon could appear—it’s not limited to the Bloodline Clan.

...

As they were conversing, a knock on the door came from outside.

Su Muyu said, "Xie Shi’en is here, I’ll go get the door."

The three made their mark on the outer city when they arrived at Kolos City.

Xie Shi’en would naturally see it if he were in Kolos.

They just didn’t expect him to arrive so quickly.

Su Muyu opened the door and waved a greeting.

Xie Shi’en waved back, stepping inside and saying, "You all seem pretty relaxed, having disappeared for over ten days."

Lin Zeyu laughed heartily, slapping Lu Heng on the back, "If you knew what Lu Heng has been up to these past days, you wouldn’t have that expression on your face."

In the Abyss Battlefield, mastering the exclusive swordsmanship technique of the Elf Sword Saint Terence—if news of this got out, it would astonish many.

However, those humans called up probably still have no idea the extent of Sword Saint Terence’s swordsmanship’s might.

Lu Heng gestured them to sit down, "Have a seat. It’s good we’re all here; let’s collate our information. These three are friends we allied with previously in the Moonshadow Forest, team leader Rong Xincheng..." frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Hello, you can call me Xie Shi’en." Xie Shi’en reached out for a handshake with Rong Xincheng.

"Hello, I think we’ve met in the wild before." Rong Xincheng looked at Xie Shi’en, finding him somewhat familiar.

"Right, when I was being pursued by the mysterious person, you took the opportunity to run." Xie Shi’en’s lips curled up with a hint of humor in his joke, though it was a tad subtle.

"That..." Rong Xincheng was a bit embarrassed.

Xie Shi’en chuckled and let him off the hook, "It’s perfectly normal. If I were you, I would have made the same choice. Before forming an alliance, it’s right to be cautious."

Rong Xincheng continued to feel embarrassed, "I didn’t know at the time that you were a friend of Lu Heng’s."

"It’s alright." Xie Shi’en once again alleviated his awkwardness.

Lu Heng changed the subject, asking, "You mentioned just now that the mysterious person was chasing you?"

Xie Shi’en nodded, "Yes, initially, that person attacked others, but after noticing me, they started pursuing me."

Lu Heng further inquired, "Is this mysterious person high in combat power?"

Xie Shi’en exhaled and answered, "Yes, I nearly didn’t escape; facing them directly wasn’t an option."
