Xie Chujun, hearing this, retreated two steps back after taking a step forward, scrutinized the elderly man, looking into the distance helplessly said, "Old man, my companions are battling over there, chatting with you here doesn't seem right, does it?"
"It won't take much of your ti!" Samikina put down Reina from his embrace, letting the attendant Hel lead her aside, then sat steadily on a chair brought back by the attendant, gestured towards the empty seat in front of him saying, "Please sit!" After saying this, he turned back to watch the battlefield in the distance already engaged in combat, praised saying, "I didn't expect that after such a long ti, even the Daoist Plane would birth such masters, it's us old folks, no, it's all of us in the Demon Race who were too conservative and arrogant, those two masters of your companions are strong, our two fools here are no match for them."
Xie Chujun nodded upon hearing this and no longer declined, sat down, adjusted his attire, smiled, and said, "Old man, are you the ally invited by Lady Lord?"
"Ah! An ally, huh? Haha, you could say so!" Samikina said, gazing at Sifuer standing not far away with rising sword, full of vigor, his wrinkled old face revealing a gratified yet slightly sentintal smile, said, "The child's maternal grandfather is my own brother, her mother is my elder brother, alas, the only daughter in our family!"
"Oh, Great-uncle, huh, no wonder indeed a relative!" Xie Chujun said, pulling the hand of a passing attendant, gestured with the other hand as if drinking, the attendant imdiately understood his aning, ran off briskly to prepare.
"You quite enjoy our wine, huh!" Samikina watched Xie Chujun accepting the wine bottle from the attendant, drinking alone, smiled and said.
"Ah, there's a special flavor in it that's absent in the wine of our world, quite nice!" Saying this, Xie Chujun raised the wine bottle in hand towards the elder, Samikina waved off the gesture, declined his kindness, leaned back in the chair, arms resting on his knees, calmly said, "The reason I called you over is because I sensed a familiar power in you, although this power is also present in the leader of your team, so-called ntors, it's suppressed by several stronger forces, not very obvious." Saying so, Samikina looked towards Pei Yan who had already stepped into the fray, showed a playful smile, said, "I sense several auras on this child, one of which is even the power of my Demon God, truly a peculiar person!"
"Tsk! Indeed, he is quite unconventional!" Xie Chujun followed the elder's gaze nodding in agreent, then took a sip of wine, asked offhandedly, "So, old man, where did you sense the power within ?"
"Disaster Legion!" These four words slowly ca out from Samikina's mouth, looking at Xie Chujun who turned his head towards him, continued saying, "Specifically, those who were once my friends, but later betrayed the Demon God, allied with the Disaster Legion to gain power as traitors!"
"Oh, is that so?" Xie Chujun raised an eyebrow, sat upright, laughed.
"Don't worry, I have never doubted your origin, if you were truly from the Disaster Legion, you wouldn't use such ans, nor target my silly granddaughter who just wants to make a na!" Samikina said, leaned forward, "I'm just curious! Curious about where you obtained this power?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Chujun let out a long sigh, placed the wine bottle and cup aside, stood up, started taking off his jacket, shirt, until he was completely topless, with his actions, Samikina slowly stood from the chair, finally staring at the red stone embedded within Xie Chujun's flesh at the heart, this red stone glimring in sync with Xie Chujun's heartbeat.
"Where did you get this thing!" Knowing it was rude, Samikina still couldn't help but reach out to touch the red stone, as the fingertip made contact with the stone, a familiar sense of powerlessness, akin to being shrouded under a red disaster, spread through his body, though not intense, it was undoubtedly this force, no wonder that previous Lord was instantly killed, under the influence of such power he couldn't even begin to muster his strength.
"Old man, may I put my clothes back on?" Looking down towards the elderly man staring at his chest with confused eyes, Xie Chujun helplessly asked, feeling his own impropriety, the elderly man imdiately withdrew his gaze, apologetically retreated a few steps, sat back in his place.
As Xie Chujun put his shirt back on, said in a deep voice, "Before coming here, I never knew the true origin of this power, this thing I acquired from a Sect Elder in the Daoist Plane, along with a few peculiar fruits, while this stone was the last piece they secured together, old man you wouldn't disbelieve what I say, would you?"
"I believe you, those peculiar fruits I have also seen, did you eat them? What effect?" Samikina imdiately beca interested, inquired.
"We can acquire the supernatural abilities of others for ourselves!" Having put his clothes back on, Xie Chujun sat back in his place, nodded towards the battling Pei Yan in the distance, said, "That pair you ntioned as ntors, both ate such a fruit, so what kind of reaction occurs when you consu this fruit?"
Samikina leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, said in a deep voice, "The increase in power needless to say, more terrifying is that individuals from lower-ranking demon races consuming this item could transcend lineage limits, reaching heights achievable only by direct descendants of the Demon God, though startling in itself, not enough to sway the foundation of the Demon Race, the issue lies where so offspring of the Demon God's lineage seized this chance to gain unimaginable power, such betrayal from high-ranking internal leaders dealt us a fatal blow, we previously did not understand their power origin, now it's clear it's likely from that red stone in your chest."
"Indeed, as we suspected, each individual's consumption of this fruit in any Plane will yield different effects." Xie Chujun scratched his brow, troubled, said.
"Indeed, as we suspected, other Planes have also been infiltrated by the Disaster Legion!" Mimicking Xie Chujun, Samikia, leaned back in the chair, said contentedly, "My doubts are resolved, youngster you may go do as you wish!"
Xie Chujun turned his head to glimpse the now blooming battlefield in the distance, shook his head, said, "Whether I'm around or not hardly matters anymore!"
In the distance, Pei Yan, struck by Buck House's palm, coughed while crawling up, shook his head, indeed these semi-high-ranking demon races are not to be trifled with, without calling in help he truly couldn't handle them!
As he climbed up from the ground, turned to look at the seating within the tent, nearly exhaled in irritation, coughed without catching a full breath, in his sight one was Gu Shenghui chatting happily with Sifuer, eating cakes, the other seated, conversing amiably with the old man, seeing him looking, waved and gave a thumbs up was Xie Chujun.
