Chapter 427: Canary, You Damn Woman, You've Done Every Evil Thing Imaginable!!

"But why?"

Mandora scratched his hair in distress; he truly could not understand why a behemoth like Buddhism would set its sights on a tiny Community like his.

As things stood for Salamandra, couldn't a single word from a big shot in Buddhism decide the life or death of Salamandra?

If anyone else had said this, he would certainly have scoffed; the current Salamandra really had nothing left, as the Secret Treasure-class Inheritance Gift, the Simulated Star Map, and the Sun Authority were all with Su Nian.

But it was Su Nian who said it, and he said it after reading the letter sent by Heavenly Lord Vaishravana.

These two had absolutely no reason to deceive him.

"Heavenly Lord, could you please explain why? Salamandra shouldn't have anything that Buddhism would covet right now, right?"

"There still is."

Su Nian glanced at Mandora and said with a hint of reluctance.

"It seems you are unaware that Azi Dahaka has been sealed beneath Yanhuang City once again."

"Ah??"

This time, Mandora truly wanted to curse Canary's ancestors down to the eighteenth generation.

It was one thing to let the elders of the past go to their deaths and take away Salamandra's Simulated Star Creation Map and Sun Authority to seal Azi Dahaka.

But to seal it beneath Yanhuang City, the headquarters of Salamandra?

And damn it, why do such a good job with the seal? The one time the opponent finally managed to run out, Su Nian led the Heavenly Army and a group of heroes to defeat and seal it again.

As a result, damn it, the seal didn't break, and it was sealed back under Yanhuang City again.

Although he knew the second time had nothing to do with Canary.

But he couldn't afford to offend the others, like the Heavenly Army, and Su Nian had been very kind to them, so he could only shift the blame onto Canary.

Canary, you damn woman, you've done every evil thing imaginable!!

"But why would Buddhism set its sights on Azi Dahaka?"

Mandora's face turned deathly pale, and his body slumped limply against the back of his chair.

He had thought that living on top of the Humanity's Final Trial, the Absolute Evil, for two hundred years was scary enough, but now you're telling him he's still living on top of the Absolute Evil?

Does that mean their names have been flickering on the Life and Death Book all this time?

"Are you aware of the recent anti-corruption efforts in the Heavenly Army? The corruption in Buddhism is a little bit serious..."

Su Nian made a gesture indicating a tiny amount, but as an old hand, how could Mandora not understand what Su Nian meant?

That "little bit" was probably "a massive amount."

And don't look at how he wasn't doing well in the lower levels; with Su Nian and Arcadia as his backing, he had been doing quite well before he was sidelined.

He knew a little about the anti-corruption efforts in the Heavenly Army happening in the upper levels, and he also knew that the inspector in charge of the anti-corruption efforts seemed to be Canary.

Damn you, Canary!!!

Canary, you really deserve to die!

How has the Heavenly Army's anti-corruption effort not killed you yet?

Even he had to admire Canary's stubborn vitality; she didn't even die after going to handle the Heavenly Army's anti-corruption.

When he first learned that Canary had been sent to handle the Heavenly Army's anti-corruption, his first reaction was that it was an internal struggle within Arcadia, a conflict between the new Arcadia led by Su Nian and the remnants of the old Arcadia.

And he had celebrated for Su Nian, thinking that the tumor that was Canary had finally been sent away.

At the time, who knows how many of Arcadia's allies, who had been swindled out of everything by Canary, were enjoying the show.

As for the reason Buddhism was eyeing Azi Dahaka, he was also clear: Buddhism's deficit was too large, and they desperately needed a massive Merit to fill the hole.

Previously, it was Su Nian who had beaten Azi Dahaka into a heavy injury, and there was no greater Merit than overcoming a Humanity's Final Trial.

Su Nian glanced at Mandora, who was gnashing his teeth in hatred for Canary and wishing he could tear her apart, then glanced at Miss Canary, who was smiling awkwardly to the side, hiding her figure and not daring to show herself.

He didn't continue to pay attention to Canary, but instead said to Mandora.

"Considering Salamandra's situation, I can take action once to relocate you to another place."

As he said this, Su Nian paused and added.

"After all, Salamandra will not be safe in the coming days."

The meaning was already very clear; Su Nian was almost explicitly telling Mandora that Yanhuang City was very likely to become a battlefield for a Humanity's Final Trial.

And they had now become a chessboard for the power struggle between the Heavenly Army and Buddhism.

Upon hearing this, Mandora's face lit up with joy, but then he showed hesitation; after struggling for a long time between temptation and conflict, he sighed and said.

"Although I would very much like to accept your offer, considering the risks such as the seal failing due to changing our base, please allow me to refuse."

"That is a demon king sealed by our predecessors at the cost of their lives; if I were to break it simply out of fear, I fear that even if I fell into Hell, I would have no face to see my ancestors."

Hearing this, Su Nian raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression turning strange for a moment as he looked at Mandora.

Black Rabbit, seeing Mandora being so righteous, then looked at Sandora, who was biting her lip without refuting Mandora, and suddenly felt that letting Canary off so easily before was truly a wrong decision.

But the next second, Black Rabbit heard Mandora say this.

"Of course, since it is a Gift from Heavenly Lord Su Nian, I think our ancestors will understand."

"Ah?"

Black Rabbit, who had originally admired Mandora, was dumbfounded, and even Sandora had a twisted look on her little face.

"It's just that because the ancestral land needs to seal the evil dragon, its layout absolutely cannot be moved, and some of our inheritances can only be inherited in the ancestral land, so I hope the Heavenly Lord can blockade Yanhuang City and arrange a new base in the East District."

"After all, I still understand the principle that if you keep the people, you lose the land, but if you keep the people, you can keep the land."

Looking at the cunning-looking Mandora, Su Nian narrowed his eyes and looked at Mandora.

"Mr. Mandora, this choice of yours can hardly be called wise."

Worried about affecting the seal that traps the evil dragon? But the two most important sealing items had already been taken away by Su Nian?

What could moving a base affect? The impact could only be described as negligible, and it would only increase many unnecessary casualties.

Hearing this, Mandora gave a wry smile and said cautiously.

"We also want to strive for the senior's wish, and we also hope to be able to help you."

Saying this, Mandra looked at Su Nian with anticipation on his face.

"I believe that you, Heavenly Lord, will certainly not be as heartless as Canary."

Hearing this, Su Nian could not help but chuckle.

"You kid is quite the slippery one, but I can only say I will try my best; you still need to prepare yourself mentally."

Mandra's meaning was simple: they wanted to participate in the chess game between Su Nian, the Heavenly Army, and Buddhism, becoming pawns utilized by Su Nian to gamble against Buddhism.

And thanks to the reputation Su Nian had accumulated, the record of zero casualties from the last crusade against the Absolute Evil, and Su Nian's control over space.

Plus the compensation Su Nian provided to the Community that had been severely damaged during the crusade against the Absolute Evil.

It made Mandra believe that Su Nian would not use the sacrifice of pawns as a price, and even if he did, it would be a last resort.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward; besides, was the risk really that great?

At the very least, with Su Nian there, they would not lose everything, so why not take a gamble?

"Having this guarantee from Heavenly Lord Su Nian is enough."

Mandra said with a smile, patting his own chest.

Whether Salamandra could take off next would depend on whether they could seize this opportunity.

"Alright, you're making me feel quite embarrassed."

Su Nian glanced at the corner and continued.

"It just so happens that Arcadia recently received some unexplained funds, enough to purchase a Seven-digit Outer Gate. Since Salamandra, as an ally, is willing to sacrifice their ancestral land, then naturally I will not refuse."

As it happened, Canary's salary seemed to have been issued, which could be used for compensation. As for whether Canary would be willing? Su Nian thought she certainly would be.

Canary, hiding in the shadows, still did not make a sound. She looked at her salary card, then looked at Su Nian, revealing an expression of stomach pain.

My salary that I just received, it hasn't even warmed up yet.

As a high-risk position, the salary for an Anti-Corruption Inspector of the Heavenly Army was quite substantial.

"Then, since a consensus has been reached, I would like to ask Mr. Mandra to set up a trap, a trap for Buddhism."

Hearing that Su Nian had a need, Mandra replied immediately without even thinking.

"Since you have a need, then Salamandra will naturally go all out to satisfy all your requirements."

Since one is defecting, one must defect thoroughly.

Su Nian was not a heartless and unrighteous person like Canary; even if he were asked to die, as long as the life-buying money Su Nian gave was sufficient, he would not refuse.

Looking at Mandra's determined appearance, Su Nian could not help but smile.

"Rest assured, I wouldn't go so far as to send a little guy like you, who hasn't even reached the Four-digit level, to the front lines."

Speaking of this, Su Nian paused and said.

"It's just that there are quite a few enemies within your ranks right now."

The enemies were hidden within Salamandra, and given the alliance between Arcadia and Salamandra, it was truly difficult to handle.

Even the Heavenly Army had no authority to intervene in the internal affairs of another Community.

The old fox Mandra naturally understood Su Nian's meaning in a second, and he immediately patted his chest and said.

"If the Heavenly Lord does not mind, you can consider using my identity."

Regarding handling internal affairs, there was nothing more suitable than his identity as the acting leader.

Moreover, this image of being willing to take the blame for the leader was also a manifestation of Mandra's own wishes.

And only by helping the leader take the blame could he be promoted by the leader; he was naturally willing to do such a thing.

"Your identity? That's not impossible."

Su Nian nodded with satisfaction; Mandra's identity was indeed suitable.

"After all, I can also be considered Sandora's older brother."

Su Nian smiled at Sandora and reached out to rub Sandora's head.

Sandora lowered her head and called out very shyly.

"Brother Su Nian."

Seeing this, Su Nian chuckled, then handed the Fire Dragon Birth Festival invitation letter to Black Rabbit and said.

"By the way, Black Rabbit, remember to deliver this invitation letter to those Problem Children; don't let them run off early. We will go to attend the Fire Dragon Birth Festival together then."

Yet, beneath the gaze of Su Nian's smile was an indescribable coldness.

Within his line of sight, several invitation letters appeared abruptly in the room of Izayoi Sakamaki and the others, waiting for them to discover them.

On these invitation letters, Su Nian saw a trace of the aura of 【Causality】; going directly from cause to effect, skipping the process of delivering the mail, and sending the invitation letters over?

Tsk, they are really rushing to their deaths!!
