Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era-Chapter 345 - 190: Joint Purge
At this moment, Qin Xiang was extremely furious, and it was no exaggeration to say he was fuming with anger.
And he had every reason to be angry.
With his strength and status as an investigator operative, in the outer world, he was not only capable of influencing events but also held a position of power and authority that no one would dare to defy. Although he was merely an operative, in a strict sense, he was an important official overseeing one area, not inferior to a mayor or the like.
But in front of Chu Xiu, he rarely lowered his stance, agreeing to all sorts of unreasonable demands.
But who would have thought, this guy didn’t take him seriously at all. Not listening to advice and acting privately before was one thing, but now, during an official operation, openly defying orders and doing as he pleased!
If it were just that, Qin Xiang wouldn’t have been so angry; he wasn’t someone who liked to throw around his authority.
It’s normal for geniuses to be arrogant and even a bit domineering! Young people, if they were lifeless, could they still be called young?
As long as your talent is strong enough to benefit humanity, Qin Xiang could accept it!
But the problem was that in his view, Chu Xiu’s actions were completely reckless, showing no regard for his own safety!
Saying he was reckless might not be entirely accurate. Considering Chu Xiu’s previous cautious behavior, Qin Xiang felt more like Chu Xiu was greedy! Greedy enough to risk putting himself in danger!
Although he had just arrived and hadn’t figured out what was going on, he had already determined that the golden light had nearly the power of a King Tier.
This level of power, Qin Xiang previously would never have believed Chu Xiu could withstand. However, after witnessing the two massacre fields left by Chu Xiu, he couldn’t quite gauge Chu Xiu’s current strength.
But he was sure of one thing: it was impossible for him to reach King Tier. In his concept, there was no such level of genius.
And the recent experiences confirmed Qin Xiang’s thoughts, the golden light was almost upon him, and yet Chu Xiu hadn’t reacted at all. Clearly, his reaction speed couldn’t keep up with King Tier combat!
If I hadn’t arrived in time, Chu Xiu would either be dead or severely injured!
This was the real reason for Qin Xiang’s anger. As one of humanity’s hopes, how could he be so reckless with his life? Constantly risking his life!
Even if you have succeeded so far, frequent river walkers are bound to get wet shoes. Continuing like this, one day you will inevitably crash!
However, in the face of his furious questioning, Chu Xiu appeared somewhat innocent.
"I...what would happen?"
"Umm..."
Seeing him like this, Qin Xiang was even more infuriated.
But now was not the time for reprimands. Qin Xiang looked towards the cave, sensing the remaining force, and his expression grew serious again.
"We can talk about this later, when we have a proper discussion."
He was determined to teach this young man a lesson. Your talent is so good, the government supports you, why not develop steadily? What’s the rush?
But for now, dealing with the calamity was more important.
"Have you investigated the situation inside? Have you fought with it?" Qin Xiang asked.
Chu Xiu nodded and answered honestly, "I conducted a preliminary reconnaissance with my summoned creatures."
"There are a number of Fierce Tier corrupted beings inside, but these corrupted beings are somewhat strange and have not attacked my summoned creatures."
"As for the calamity within, it is currently imprisoned by chains and cannot leave for now, but its state is a bit strange and may require further investigation by you, Senior."
Chu Xiu did not conceal anything.
Qin Xiang’s arrival speed exceeded his expectations, indicating that this man with the square face genuinely worried about his safety.
Of course, it was mostly about his status as a Civilization Envoy and his undetained talent.
But in any case, since he was already here, there was no way Chu Xiu could monopolize the resources in front of him. Plus, the Buddha Statue was indeed strange; even Rasputin had never seen it, undoubtedly adding many variables to the operation.
Even if Qin Xiang hadn’t come, Chu Xiu might not have dared to face the calamity alone again.
Now, naturally, it was best to go with the flow and let other King Tiers help share the risk.
Qin Xiang was also a cautious character. He did not act rashly but instead took out a communication artifact on the spot to contact the other three King Tiers to come, then commanded other Awakened to establish a defense line on the earth’s surface, ready to support at any time.
It had to be said, Qin Xiang was thorough in his work. However, after some thought, Chu Xiu reminded, "Senior Qin, it seems the calamity has been absorbing the power of pollutants, so it would be wise to kill it as soon as possible."
Nobody expected that, faced with his well-intentioned reminder, Qin Xiang instead started to lecture him, "What’s the rush? I naturally know this, but you mustn’t act rashly because of it. You young people need to think twice before acting and not be blinded by immediate benefits into reckless behavior."
"Don’t I know? The reason you came down early was you were worried others might steal your resources. But now? You didn’t get the resources and instead put yourself in danger!"
This made Chu Xiu remain silent sensibly. He realized that this "Qin operative" had significant issues with him now. Even if he agreed with his suggestion, he would still educate him verbally.
Realizing this, Chu Xiu simply found a place to sit and began to meditate and rest.
Of course, he stayed vigilant, choosing a location at a certain distance from Qin Xiang and summoned a Ghost General for protection. This scene made Qin Xiang both angry and amused, filled with helplessness.
