Chapter 3007: Conversing with Wit, Astonishing the Crowd

"Master Path, you are mistaken."

Carson Flores replied earnestly, "In the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, there are indeed divisions of power, but here, everyone’s status is the same. The soldiers of the War God Mansion share the same goal: to fight against the Demon Race, to defend the Immortal Realm and their homeland. We fight side by side; we are all comrades."

"Even if you’re talking about status, they can only be considered soldiers of the War God Mansion, and have nothing to do with me. I don’t have such great abilities to get them to serve under me, working for my personal benefit."

Master of Path chuckled and said, "Impressive eloquence! I didn’t expect a follower I once disregarded to grow so rapidly. The person I silenced before they could finish a sentence can now talk eloquently with me."

Silenced?

Those behind Carson Flores were puzzled, did Carson confront Master of Path?

Killed by Master of Path?

But Carson looks just fine, doesn’t he?

Carson smiled and said, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, who stays in one place without moving forward? It’s just that I have someone behind me pushing, and I’ve had to move faster; after all, moving too slowly could cost me my life."

Pausing, Carson asked, "Did Master Path come here today just to see how I’m doing?"

"The hero who thwarted the Demon Race’s plan in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, the Little Killing God on the Immortal Demon Battlefield, a meritorious figure..."

Master of Path smiled lightly and said, "I’m indeed a bit curious about you, because I rarely misjudge, yet I did with you. So I wanted to meet you, as you know, our last meeting was all too brief."

Carson replied, "That’s right, you didn’t even give me a chance to speak before you killed me. Quite the rush, indeed."

Master of Path’s smile faded as he stared at Carson, "Moreover, there’s one thing: where is Snow Zane?"

Carson calmly replied, "Since you ask, I’ll be honest with you, to save you the trouble of asking around unnecessarily."

Master of Path paid no mind to Carson’s tone and nodded, "Alright, go ahead."

Carson gazed into Master of Path’s eyes and said calmly, "By a stroke of fortune, Senior Zane not only fully recovered from her injuries, but has also taken a big step forward in power. She has now fully entered the Quasi-Saint Realm..."

Master of Path’s expression turned serious, while Cyrveth McCarty sneered, "Nonsense! She wasn’t originally at the Quasi-Saint level yet forced herself to wield Quasi-Saint power in battle. Though Time Divine Ability is mysterious, it’s a heavy burden on her. If it doesn’t harm others, it harms herself. Add those severe injuries, and it’s doubtful she could even survive, let alone fully recover and make great progress!"

Carson glanced at Cyrveth, smiling, "Senior McCarty, have you found your Heaven-devouring Altar?"

Cyrveth’s face darkened instantly with anger, "Of course I have! How dare they not return it?"

Found it?

Carson was slightly surprised, but after a thought, it seemed understandable.

The Heaven-devouring Altar is Cyrveth’s life-bound magic treasure. Although it was stolen by Varric Combs using special means, and even isolated from connection, it’s probably not easily handled by Varric.

Cyrveth came to Crimson Immortal Domain, knowing Varric is here. He must have searched for Varric. Varric is slippery, and Cyrveth probably couldn’t deal with him, so he might have sought Norric Shepherd’s help to mediate.

Norric Shepherd may consider the Heaven-devouring Altar’s presence as an added strength to the Immortal Realm. He might step in to mediate, having Varric return the Altar to Cyrveth, but certainly not without a significant price paid by Cyrveth.

If not, would his face be this dark?

This blow must have cost him dearly.

Carson smiled and cupped his hands, "Congratulations to you, Senior McCarty. Saint of Thieves can’t stand such treasures and just took it during a rescue, it wasn’t necessarily targeted at you, just a matter of seeing and wanting..."

This was far from a congratulation, it was salt in the wound!

Everyone’s mood varied, but no one dared show it, instead continuing to listen to the gossip.

Those like Jarett Roth had seen Saint of Thieves visit the camp to find Carson, speaking casually, clearly showing they had a close relationship.

This seems to imply Carson had asked Saint of Thieves to rescue Snow Zane and took Cyrveth’s life-bound magic treasure in the process?

The thievery skills are indeed unbeatable!

Carson turned to Master of Path, "I’m telling the truth, Master Path, believe it if you will, if not, there’s nothing I can do. As for her whereabouts, I cannot disclose it. She still has matters to attend to, but I believe one day, she will come to you to discuss the past."

Master of Path’s eyes glinted coldly, "Very well, I’ll wait for her. I want to see how much she has improved!"

Carson smiled, then looked at the furious Barbarian King nearby, spreading his hands, "Senior Barbarian King, in battles between armies, casualties are naturally on each side. Although your grandson died because of me, I wasn’t the one who killed him; he died on the battlefield. A high person like you would surely not vent anger on someone as insignificant as me?"

The ignorant gossipers widened their eyes even more.

Carson killed the Barbarian King’s grandson?

No way?

Carson is too bold, isn’t he?

He spares no one’s feelings.

How many Quasi-Saints are there in the Ten Thousand Immortals Domain, and yet Carson has offended so many in one go?

Now that the Three Saints have come demanding accountability, Carson remains calm, speaking eloquently without fear?

Astonishing!

All present are powerful figures with prestigious status. Throughout their extensive lives, they’ve seen many geniuses and monsters, but someone like Carson is a first for them!

His strength may be average, but he troubles and pleases all along the way. Those he interacts with aren’t mere prodigies but are leaders or Quasi-Saint powerhouses!

If someone else caused such a fuss, their ashes might not even remain, yet Carson not only lives well but thrives and prospers!

The Barbarian King, provoked by Carson’s words, coldly said, "Such disrespect. Do you think that because you are an officer and hero of the War God Mansion, I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"
