Chapter 275

He took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself, a faint twitch in the corner of his eye.

"Ah... if you know what the ability called Tongling is, then that's perfect."

"This time, the Abyss Reincarnators seem to have made contact with beings from another world."

When Su Han heard Grandmaster Dama begin his explanation, his expression immediately grew grave.

He sat down on the wicker chair and listened silently as Grandmaster Dama spoke.

Due to his position and status, Grandmaster Dama possessed far more information than Zhao Linger had mentioned.

After all, Zhao Linger had merely heard rumors, while everything Grandmaster Dama said was summarized and confirmed.

"We don't know the specifics! The only thing we know is... at least three members of royal families from other worlds have had contact with the Abyss Reincarnators."

"They gathered three Tongling ability users, hoping to use Tongling to obtain the power of the other world's royalty."

The royalty of the other world is equivalent to a Grandmaster in the spiritual energy world.

Just like the previous Luo Shehuang.

This is a general term for a certain realm in that foreign land.

"The terror of the Tongling ability lies precisely here! It crosses the boundaries between worlds and grants support from the other side's power."

Grandmaster Dama paused slightly, his voice tinged with exhaustion, "This time, it's known that three royalty are willing to lend their power."

"However, the three royalty's condition for lending power is that the three Tongling ability users must kill you... only then can they grant this power, allowing the Abyss Reincarnators to wreak havoc in our world."

"I must say, those three royalty came up with a brilliant idea."

"No matter how you look at it, they never lose."

Su Han finally understood everything clearly.

No wonder it was revenge.

This revenge wasn't the Abyss Reincarnators seeking vengeance against him.

The true ones seeking vengeance should be the royal beasts of the other world.

"Three royalty, each comparable to a Grandmaster..."

Su Han murmured to himself, a faint smile curling at his lips, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Right, you also think this is troublesome, don't you?"

Grandmaster Dama on the other end of the phone clearly misunderstood Su Han's words; his tone grew sharper, "I've already summoned Grandmaster Xiao Ma, and we're heading to you right now."

"If something happens before we arrive, and you can't fight them, just run."

After a brief pause, Grandmaster Dama's voice turned bitter.

"Even if those bastards threaten to massacre entire cities, don't fall for their provocation—a Grandmaster is invaluable! More valuable than anything else."

"Even if a million die, as long as a Grandmaster survives, it's... worth it."

As Grandmaster Dama said this, his heart bled.

As the Guardian Grandmaster, protecting the nation and its people was his essence, his nature.

Yet now, he was urging a being of his own rank to abandon the people when facing a powerful enemy—to flee.

He was unwilling, unwilling to the point of nearly vomiting blood.

But there was no other way.

A living Grandmaster was far more valuable than the residents of a single city or region.

This was a strategic-level force on a macro scale.

Just like in his previous life, nuclear-armed nations treated non-nuclear nations.

You might never use a nuclear bomb, but you absolutely cannot lack one.

In this world, you might never deploy Grandmaster-level power.

But you absolutely cannot lack a Grandmaster—or have too few of them.

No matter what, a living Grandmaster must not die.

"Grandmaster Dama, are you teaching me to run away?"

Su Han asked with a smile.

"No!"

Grandmaster Dama's voice instantly turned cold; having made his decision, he would not regret it—even if he spent the rest of his life burdened by guilt.

"Stopping won't help! You'll be surrounded by the three royalty."

"Besides, your Yu Bo will also destroy the city."

"But if you flee into the wilderness, and avoid all cities along the way... then at most, only the city you're currently in will be destroyed."

"They'll force you to stop."

"When they realize your resolve can't be broken, they won't destroy other cities—meaning only one city must be sacrificed... since that city is doomed anyway, why not run?"

"This isn't running away... it's a strategic withdrawal! It's preserving your fighting strength."

Grandmaster Dama's tone grew stern, "The power from the other world is far stronger than ours! Their number of royalty far exceeds ours."

"Or rather, it's vastly greater!"

"They can afford to lose royalty; we cannot afford to lose a Grandmaster."

"Looks like there's barely enough time!"

Su Han suddenly stared outside, his Kenbunshoku Haki sensing three terrifyingly powerful auras still rising beyond Jianghai City.

He spoke softly.

"Grandmaster Dama, we'll talk later."

Then he hung up the phone.

On the wilderness road, Grandmaster Dama clenched his fist—puchī—a sound as he crushed his phone outright.

Grandmaster Dama's expression instantly turned grim; he took several deep breaths.

His body trembled.

"That guy..."

In Grandmaster Dama's eyes, Su Han's final words had revealed his ultimate decision.

Beside Grandmaster Dama, Grandmaster Xiao Ma glanced at him and suddenly said, "That guy refused, didn't he?"

Grandmaster Dama did not answer, but his demeanor clearly confirmed it.

"As expected. Though he says little on the surface and refuses to protect the nation or its people, that man still possesses the dignity of a Grandmaster."

Grandmaster Xiao Ma's face carried a touch of cold solemnity, along with faint reverence and sorrow.

"Hurry our pace—hopefully we'll arrive in time."

"What if we don't make it?"

Grandmaster Dama asked softly.

He already knew the chance of arriving in time was far too low.

Three peers surrounding and killing one—even if he bore the title of peerless—there would be no turning back.

"If we don't make it! I'll step into the foreign lands, kill one Emperor, annihilate one imperial clan—to send off Grandmaster Su!"

Grandmaster Xiao Ma smiled—a gentle smile that could captivate thousands of middle-aged women—but his words were icy to the bone.

"And this is only the beginning! Whoever dares kill our Renzuda Grandmaster must pay tenfold! Destroy one of our Renzuda cities? I'll exterminate ten imperial bloodlines!"

"First, kill one Emperor and one imperial clan—to warm up."

"I've noted this debt. Later, I'll properly settle accounts with those nine Emperors and their clans."

"Once I've fulfilled this promise, I'll visit Grandmaster Su's grave and offer him a cup of wine!"

"Brave is our Huaxia! Brave is the Grandmaster!"

"You... are just too insane!"

Grandmaster Dama's gaze grew distant and sorrowful, "You're this insane—I'm truly afraid one day I'll have to bury you."

"If you're the one burying me, isn't that enough? I was just wondering—who will bury you in the future?"

Grandmaster Xiao Ma burst into loud laughter.

"Let's move faster!"

He suddenly let out a long howl; his slender body erupted with unparalleled spiritual energy, shaking mountains and valleys for ten thousand li as he surged forward at unimaginable speed.

"Even if you know you won't make it, never abandon hope!"

On the other side.

Su Han casually ended the call and stretched his body.

He suddenly developed greater interest in the so-called spirit-linking ability.
