Chapter 773: Chancellor Cao, 1v6
Chapter 773: Chancellor Cao, 1v6
The White-Headed Eagle Clan was not a monolithic entity.
On the third day of Chancellor Cao's arrival in the territory of the White-Headed Eagle Clan, news of his presence leaked out and reached the ears of the Skrulls. The White-Headed Eagle Clan, despite their deep-seated enmity with the Skrulls, harbored a few traitors who revered strength and aligned themselves with the Skrulls. It was these traitors who relayed the news of Chancellor Cao's arrival.
Upon learning that Chancellor Cao had come to the Skrull planet, a wave of panic swept through the Skrull world! The sixth-stage cultivators from Blue Star posed a threat to the Skrulls, akin to a missile, but they did not deliberately massacre Skrull civilians, thus their impact was limited.
However, Chancellor Cao was a different story altogether!
Chancellor Cao was a peak divine-stage powerhouse, on par with the likes of Plante. His entry into the Skrull world was akin to a high-yield, self-propelled antimatter missile! And it was the kind capable of wiping out half a continent!
If Chancellor Cao were to put aside his dignity and start a wanton slaughter of Skrull civilians, not even ten million lives would be enough to compensate!
Thus, upon receiving the news of Chancellor Cao's arrival, Emperor Manina immediately abandoned the hunt for Zhongfeng and ordered all divine-stage powerhouses to return from Blue Star and head north to the Wild Continent.
The divine-stage powerhouses, upon receiving the message, did not dare to delay.
Sidem, Victoria, Cecilia, Dragon Emperor Cadrigosa, and others traversed through spatial rifts back to their home planet, heading north.
Thus, once again, the Skrull divine-stage powerhouses gathered in the Wild Continent.
The last time the Skrull divine-stage powerhouses gathered en masse in the Wild Continent was during the appearance of the Sword Hilt of Ten Thousand Admonitions. This time, it was because of Chancellor Cao.
...
Forty minutes later, in the western part of the Wild Continent, at the edge of the White-Headed Eagle Clan's territory, several divine-stage powerhouses saw the main figure—Chancellor Cao.
Hovering above the forest, Chancellor Cao stood calmly, holding a sword hilt, his demeanor relaxed.
Facing him were six divine-stage powerhouses in total. Apart from Dragon Emperor, the remaining five were all Skrull divine-stage powerhouses.
They were Sidem and Victoria from the Runkte Alliance, Freemen Cecilia, Hiber, and Rai.
Manina III and Plante had not yet arrived due to the ongoing contraction and oscillation of the spatial rift, which would allow them to return to their home planet in twenty minutes.
The six divine-stage powerhouses stood in a line opposite Chancellor Cao, their eyes locked onto him, the air thick with tension.
Sidem, the strongest and most senior among the six divine-stage powerhouses, flew forward a few meters and spoke first: "Sir Cao, I didn't expect you to come to our Skrull planet this time. What is it? Do you intend to reenact what happened in the Arctic region?"
Last time in the Arctic region, over ten Skrull divine-stage powerhouses surrounded Chancellor Cao, attempting to kill him together.
If not for the fear of his dying counterattack, that attempt might have succeeded.
Sidem also glanced at the White-Headed Eagle Emperor, not far behind Chancellor Cao, his eyes revealing a clear intent to kill.
Faced with Sidem's aggressive pressure, the White-Headed Eagle Emperor felt immense pressure, but Chancellor Cao did not care at all.
He scanned these Skrull divine-stage powerhouses with a glance and asked coolly, "Where is Plante? Where is he? Does he look down on me?"
Sidem did not answer, his hands beginning to prepare a spirit energy spell.
However, Sidem was unsure.
Currently, the six Skrul Gods present were all Mid-Gods or Low-Gods. Taking on Chancellor Cao, who was at the peak of the God realm, would result in at least four of them being casualties!
However, after advancing to the God realm, everyone's life became incredibly precious. No one wanted to die here, and survival would always be their top priority.
It was uncertain whether they could truly take down Chancellor Cao.
...
As Sidem wrestled with his thoughts, Chancellor Cao looked at him calmly and smiled, "Young man, don't be so hot-headed.
The reason I dared to face you here is that I have a way to ensure my survival. I am no longer the same person I was three months ago!"
With that, Chancellor Cao's form rapidly became ethereal, vanishing into thin air.
This was a unique concealment technique he had created by combining the Mage class's Invisibility from the Evolution game, the Assassin class's Stealth, and the native Blue Star cultivators' invisibility spells.
He had given this technique an elegant name: Leaf Concealment.
After Leaf Concealment was activated, Sidem and the others instantly lost track of his position.
The six Gods were startled and quickly formed a circle around Dragon Emperor Cadrekhos, their overwhelming mental energies continuously scanning the surrounding space.
To their surprise, no matter how much they searched, they couldn't detect any trace of Chancellor Cao, as if he had completely vanished!
Ten seconds later, Chancellor Cao's form gradually reappeared about a kilometer to their right.
He smiled, "No need to search! With your strength, you won't be able to detect any trace of my existence. I dared to meet you because of this ability; otherwise, I would have fled long ago."
The attention of Sidem and the others quickly focused on Chancellor Cao, but their expressions were grim.
If they couldn't detect him, they couldn't counter him.
If Chancellor Cao used that ability again, how could they even fight him?
Cecilia's expression was slightly better than Sidem's and Victoria's.
She flew about five meters toward Chancellor Cao and asked, "Then, Chancellor Cao, what is your purpose in meeting us here? It can't be just to toy with us, right?"
"Of course not," Chancellor Cao replied seriously. "I came here to propose a temporary truce between us."
"A temporary truce?" Cecilia and the other Skrul Gods exchanged glances, unsure of what he meant.
"Yes, a temporary truce," Chancellor Cao said clearly. "I arrived on Skrul three days ago. With my power and the invisibility spell, if I had gone on a rampage in the Sunlit Empire or the Lunkeite Alliance, there would already be rivers of blood! But I didn't do that."
Sidem took a deep breath. He knew Chancellor Cao was telling the truth.
If Chancellor Cao had started his rampage three days ago, the disaster he would have brought to the Skrul would have been no less severe than the "Gravity Sink" plan on Blue Star!
Even if they could have stopped him, it would have cost millions of Skrul lives and destroyed dozens of major cities.
The thought alone was terrifying.
Sidem's expression was heavy as he asked, "Then, Chancellor Cao, what is your purpose in meeting us here?
If it's for a temporary truce, what exactly does this 'peace' refer to?"
