I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 527 The Suspicious Transmigrator

As the starlight flew away, a cultivator who had been silently protecting everyone in front of him breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that many people had already begun to retreat, he glanced with lingering fear at the still foul-smelling yellow-green swamp, then turned and disappeared from the scene of the Righteous Path Assembly.

"How is it? Has anything gone wrong?"

Back in the cave, before the cultivator could even speak, a woman who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and dressed in simple clothes immediately stepped forward.

Upon hearing her question, the cultivator immediately replied:

"Someone has appeared. A very strange cultivator suddenly appeared and was mistaken for me... cough, I mean, mistaken for an extraterrestrial demon, and then I was surrounded and attacked..."

The cultivator quickly recounted what he had seen and heard, and the woman breathed a sigh of relief:
"Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be the type that can be precisely targeted."

"So what exactly is going on? I didn't ask before because you said it was urgent, but can you explain it properly now?"

The cultivator looked at his "golden finger," his tone still a little nervous. No one could have seen someone so relaxed after such a "shrimp burial."

If it's just a poop-throwing attack, it's just psychological pressure. But if the other party can turn the enemy's signature weapon into that thing, then that's terrifying, okay?

Noticing her "hero's" nervousness, the woman sighed and said:

“I don’t know the specifics, but not long ago, I noticed that the karma surrounding you suddenly changed. After confirming that it wasn’t a problem with the Heavenly Realm, I knew that someone was definitely targeting you.”

"So you had me show myself to attract the attention of the Righteous Path Assembly, and then infiltrate using an alias, all for this purpose?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivator's expression became somewhat subtle. The woman nodded, then shook her head and said:
“I don’t know when they will arrive. I’m just letting you act based on past experience. After all, since the enemy has changed your cause and effect, it means they definitely have something on your mind. If you continue to fight alone, when they appear, they will only have you in their sight, and then they will have to confront you head-on. But if you are in a crowd of hundreds of people, unless they have some kind of data system, they can’t lock onto you instantly. Even if they do lock onto you, they can use those so-called righteous people as shields.”

"Got it, the sardine tactic, right? But is it okay for me to come back now?" The cultivator, being from modern society, quickly understood the collaborator's idea, but at the same time, he was a little worried.

Since they were able to catch up to the Righteous Path Assembly, they might as well catch up to his home.

"The fact that the opponent did not continue to pursue despite having an overwhelming advantage, but instead left directly, indicates that he does not have the ability to find you from among hundreds of people. In other words, his targeting ability is relatively broad, and he can roughly locate you, but the accuracy is not high. The environment of the Great Source in this world is different. We just need to find a market with a large enough population and live in seclusion for a period of time."

Hearing the helper's words, the cultivator relaxed somewhat, but his hands didn't slow down at all. Watching the "hero" hurriedly packing his belongings, the helper smiled and said:

"Now you're in a hurry? I told you to focus on your cultivation and deal with the demon king here as soon as possible. Now look what's happened, the demon king isn't dealt with, and now we have another problem!"

"Is this a matter of proper cultivation?" the cultivator retorted, unconvinced, upon hearing the assistant's words.

"We're dealing with the leader of the righteous alliance! I know he's the one who polluted the Great Source Environment of this world, and I know he monopolizes cultivation resources, but besides you and me, who else would believe him?"

Hearing this, the collaborator was also displeased: "So why do you always try to make others believe you? Why don't you just go to his door and kill him with a sneak attack? If you hadn't insisted on exposing his true colors and ended up being falsely accused, things wouldn't be so complicated now." "I have a legitimate reason! I have a legitimate reason, you know? Putting aside his strength and whether he can kill me in one blow, even if I did, so what? The Great Source Environment has already been polluted. Killing him won't immediately improve things. Then the righteous sects of this world will hunt me down. At that time, even if they know I'm innocent, they will still want to kill me because as long as I die, the person who kills me will become famous!"

The cultivator's mind was perfectly clear, but the collaborator's single sentence killed the conversation—

"So you're not public enemy number one now?"

"..."

The cultivator immediately shut his mouth, tossed the last major item, the alchemy furnace, into his sleeve, changed his expression again, and walked outside.

Seeing this, the collaborator quickly caught up, saying as they walked:

"In the end, you just don't trust me. I've already told you that as long as the Demon King is defeated, I can take you to the Heavenly Realm. Whether you ascend to a higher position or go to the next world to gain experience, it doesn't matter. I don't need to worry about the subsequent development of this world. But you just..."

"It's precisely because of your attitude that I don't trust you!"

The cultivator sighed and simply stated plainly:
"Murder, murder, murder! You advised me to kill as soon as I met you after I transmigrated, as if killing a culprit would bring about a world at peace. But the problem is, killing this leader of the righteous alliance will not change the status quo, because the benefits are too great. Who knows if there are other people in the righteous alliance who know about this?"
"Even if he dies, there will be another person who pollutes the Great Source and monopolizes cultivation resources. Even if there are no people who know the truth, if we cannot find out his methods of polluting the Great Source, the situation in this world will not improve. When the next person who discovers his methods appears, things will still enter this cycle again."

"I don't believe you don't understand such a simple truth, but you never pay attention to it. You say you are a goddess who saves the world, who selects heroes to save the world, but in my eyes, you have never considered what the world will become!"

Hearing her hero unleash a barrage of attacks, the goddess grew angry, her tone tinged with displeasure:
"That's why I said from the beginning! These are not issues you need to consider! The hero's goal is to kill the Demon King. Once the Demon King is dead, your mission ends. If a new Demon King appears, then a new hero will come to defeat him. This is the optimal solution that the Heavenly Realm has summarized over countless years of operation!"

"..." Upon hearing what the collaborator said, the cultivator immediately shut up, not because he was convinced, but because he realized that no matter what, neither side could convince the other, just like the previous arguments.

Ultimately, the collaborator was right; he didn't trust the other party.

It's not that I don't believe it at all, but rather that I don't believe the empty promises the other party makes.

What is the Heavenly Realm, what is going home, what is merit? In his eyes, they are all empty words. It would be good to be able to leave after killing the Demon King, but what if the other party is just fooling him into being a suicide soldier? Of course, he needs to have the confidence to survive on his own after being abandoned.

Therefore, he never took the "shortcuts" given to him by his collaborators. Instead, he cultivated and studied on his own, delving into the various arts of cultivation. Although his youthful passion initially made him a notorious wanted criminal in the cultivation world, at least he was able to survive under such intense pressure.

While the two were arguing, their conversation reached someone's ears without any interruption—

"Oh ho, this looks like it will save us a lot of trouble!"
