Chapter 1793: Shepherd Guards the Party
Facing Taoist Jiao's question, the Eight-Armed Ashura stammered, "This... was really not done by us."
"During the last war, our tribe abandoned darkness and joined the light."
As it explained, it muttered to itself, wondering which immortal’s pet this giant snake was, and how could it also have eight arms?
"Abandon the dark and join the light?" Taoist Jiao snorted disdainfully, "You were beaten into surrender, right?"
The Eight-Armed Ashura was speechless. What the other party said was absolutely right. They surrendered because they could not win.
There was no other choice. If we didn't surrender, our race would be wiped out.
Some of these magical weapons were hidden by them secretly, and some were obtained when cleaning up other battlefields.
As for whether the immortal cultivators knew about it... most likely they didn't, otherwise they wouldn't dare to stay.
In the great war between immortal cultivators and the Asura clan, the battlefield was everywhere. It was not surprising that the immortal cultivators were unable to clean up some places afterwards.
In fact, after the war, those immortals also found them and inquired about the whereabouts of some magical weapons.
Simply put, as long as those immortal cultivators with a legacy come to ask, Asura must give an explanation.
However, there is a chance to secretly steal the magical tools left behind by some lonely ghosts or a group of immortal cultivation that was wiped out.
Anyway, the Eight-Armed Ashura believed that this was definitely not a trophy, and he did not dare to admit in front of the other party that he had killed the immortal and taken the treasure.
Then we can only claim that it was a gift from the immortals.
But the opponent was not a fool and actually pointed it out directly.
The Eight-Armed Ashura hesitated for a moment, but finally gave an honest explanation - most of them were picked up.
"I picked it up..." Qu Jianlei's expression was a little strange. It was obvious that he thought of some embarrassing memories again.
Taoist Jiao was not surprised by this explanation. It was normal for magical weapons to leak out in a war between two worlds.
He was curious, "I'm just wondering, which world are these immortal cultivators from? Why didn't they kill all of you?"
"This..." The Eight-Armed Ashura was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to lose his temper and could only explain patiently.
"To the Immortal, Asura is not completely useless, so after he abandoned the dark and joined the light, the Immortal ordered us to guard the area."
"To protect the herd..." This reason, Jiao Dao Ren actually believed, "Could it be for the nest?"
There is no doubt that the Asura's Nest is a rare and good thing for cultivators.
"Ahem," the Eight-Armed Ashura coughed twice, thinking to himself, it's enough for you to know it, why bother telling it out loud?
"I see that among you, the Immortals, there are also Asuras who have turned from darkness to light. We still have some merits."
Hearing this, Jiao Daoren finally gave up the pursuit and asked, "Where did that war take place?"
This is what everyone is most concerned about. Finally, there is news about the immortal cultivator.
However, the Eight-Armed Ashura was stunned for a moment before he said awkwardly, "That battle took place more than four thousand years ago..."
The place where the battle took place was not even in this world, but in another Asura world.
The immortal cultivators swept through that world, leaving only a few Asuras to guard it.
Two thousand years ago, that world collapsed.
When the world was about to collapse, the Juli tribe discovered the passage leading to this Asura world and moved the entire clan here.
Although that destroyed world was completely emptied out by immortal cultivators, the Giant Power Tribe still had exclusive access to its resources when they were guarding it.
It’s a pity that they came to this world, where there are the Asura royal family, so they can only be obedient and humble.
In fact, as the "outsiders" in trouble, the Jili tribe should live at the bottom of the Asura.
It's just that they have experience in dealing with immortal cultivators and are quite knowledgeable, so they are accepted by the royal family.
Like the Ruby Star Continent, it is said to be rich in resources, but it has already been developed almost completely by the royal family, which is why they were allowed to gain a foothold here.
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment… Was his excitement in vain this time?
That Asura world must be connected to the world of immortal cultivation, but now that the world has collapsed, how can we find the world of immortal cultivation?
Qu Jianlei asked, "Why did your world collapse?"
"This... there must be a time for everything to be born and die, right?" The Eight-Armed Asura was a little confused. "Is there anything that is immortal?"
Obviously, it is not very clear about the mechanism of world destruction, but...is this normal?
After finishing speaking, it added, "The immortals said that maybe the Heavenly Dao no longer exists, and they don't allow us to go to the Immortal Cultivation World..."
I guess the Giant Strength Tribe is also a little resentful about this - the world is about to collapse, but the immortal cultivators don't allow them to seek refuge.
The eight-armed Ashura felt aggrieved, but he did not dare to continue speaking. To do so would be courting death.
Qu Jianlei could understand the other party’s resentment, but he understood the choices of the cultivators even more.
Putting Asura into human society would require a wicked person to do that, right?
He nodded slightly, then asked expressionlessly, "So, you participated in the invasion of the human world this time?"
"This is unfair," the Eight-Armed Ashura said hurriedly, "From the beginning, it was not our turn to participate..."
Invading other worlds is a good job. At the beginning, it was monopolized by three major tribes, and later the royal family joined in.
This eight-armed Asura did not know that three great beings who had achieved the state of leaving the body had already died in that world.
It just heard that when it invaded that world, it encountered relatively strong resistance, and later it might have... encountered immortal cultivators.
Considering that the Giant Strength Tribe had dealt with immortal cultivators before, the royal family notified them to join the invasion.
So for them, this participation is passive and they cannot refuse.
However, the Eight-Armed Ashura also emphasized that they did not participate in the war, but were only invited to understand the situation.
The royal family even stated that the profits from that world would be determined based on the situation, and whether or not to allocate some to the Giant Power Tribe.
In other words, they might be sending troops in vain, and if they are forced to participate in the invasion, they will have to bear the related losses themselves.
The Eight-Armed Ashura even used a metaphor - a stray dog!
This is what the great master of the clan once said. It feels like after coming to this world, we are basically like a dog that has lost its home.
Otherwise, the Juli tribe has a great lord, but is not qualified to become a large tribe and can only be subordinate to the royal family.
When it said this, the other eight-armed Asura stopped being angry and added.
"It was the immortal cultivators who abandoned us, and we have no intention of fighting them again... This is what the Great Honored One meant!"
"You have no plans to fight again?" Qu Jianlei smiled when he heard it. "Then you are still at the entrance of the world channel, using the immortal cultivator's flying boat?"
In his view, this was an outright provocation.
However, the two eight-armed Asuras said: We want to use this to show that the tribe once guarded an area for the immortals.
This is hard to explain. In theory, the deployment of a flying boat would indeed arouse the curiosity of immortal cultivators.
"Don't talk about that," the paranoid said impatiently, "I just want to ask, what do you mean by saying this now?"
"Of course we have to strive to return," the eight-armed creature captured by Qing Hu said simply.
"I had lost contact with the immortals before, but now that I have made contact with them, of course I must strive to return!"
"I don't trust it," the paranoid man's attitude was very direct. When dealing with these guys, just say whatever you want to say.
"In my opinion, only the dead Asura is a good Asura."
In fact, I think so too... The eight-armed creature secretly complained in his heart that only dead cultivators are good cultivators.
However, it was very respectful on the surface, "Sir, since you have a cave, you must have an immortal."
"With the Immortal Venerable's attention, how dare we have any other thoughts?"
It begged for mercy as soon as it came out, because it recognized that this was a cave.
As Asuras who have come into contact with immortal cultivators, they know that only immortal cultivators who have at least reached the level of leaving the body can build a cave dwelling.
Well, since the other party has a cave, there must be some cultivators who have achieved out-of-body experience.
As the top leader of the Giant Strength Tribe, the Eight-Armed Ashura knows one thing very well: his own Ten-Armed ancestor cannot defeat the Great Immortal Cultivator.
Not to mention one-on-one, even two-on-one or three-on-one may not be able to win.
However, if this news were to spread, it would really undermine their own prestige, so the news was only limited to the eight-armed ones and some outstanding six-armed ones.
Moreover, the great out-of-body experience of immortal cultivators is somewhat similar to that of Asura. As long as one of them leaves the body, a large group of people will appear when they turn around.
In any case, it is precisely because Juli had such contact with the cultivators that the tribe had the habit of that kind of architectural layout.
In addition, measures such as paying attention to hygiene and blocking news are also learned by self-cultivators.
Anyway, after seeing the cave, it didn't want to die at all - according to legend, Mu Shoufang was actually not bad.
In addition to respecting the immortals and paying tribute on time, they can enjoy a world of their own.
In other words, in the previous world, the Giant Power Tribe itself was considered a royal family.
The irritable eight-armed beast was able to calm down because he heard his companions say that the other party had a cave.
Among these cultivators, there are some who have achieved the state of out-of-body immortality. What are they waiting for if not kneeling?
The paranoid man could only look at the boss after hearing the other party's direct answer.
So it wasn't because we were ruthless that we scared the other party, but because we have a cave?
This discovery is really ridiculous. Living people are not as scary as dead things.
However, it is normal to have such a misunderstanding. It is impossible for an ordinary great master who has achieved the state of out-of-body experience to give away such a precious cave, right?
Qu Jianlei also understood what he heard, and he asked calmly, "Why do you think you are qualified to govern this place for us?"
"There are so many tribes in Asura, why should we choose you?"
"Because we have experience," Babi replied confidently, "and we have a sense of boundaries!"
It is not difficult to be a shepherd and guard a tribe, but the difficult part is to remain awed and respectful to the immortal cultivators at all times after the tribe expands and develops.
It is said that these immortals call this "sense of boundaries". Fortunately, it still remembers that the Ten-Armed Ancestor once mentioned this.
