515: odor

"Stop right there!"

A condescending voice came from behind Chen Du.

The speaker was the Level 25 Yun Que Clan member.

Chen Du confirmed the other party was addressing him and stopped flying without changing his expression.

A wave of doubt rose in his heart.

Normally, when encountering these Great Civilization's clan members, if he proactively gave way, they theoretically wouldn't approach him.

Small Civilizations yielding to Great Civilizations was an unwritten rule, one that everyone had long grown accustomed to and accepted.

Normally, unless there was some animosity between the two parties, it was unlikely for them to pursue further.

Animosity between Small Civilizations existed because neither could truly overpower the other, or the cost of destroying the other was too high.

However, the power disparity between Small Civilizations and Great Civilizations was too vast; if a Small Civilization truly offended a Great Civilization, its civilization would inevitably be destroyed, making the concept of animosity irrelevant.

Could it be about Ru Yan?

She's turned to ash, and they can still suspect me?

Chen Du thought to himself, after all, that was the only connection between him and the Yun Que Civilization.

"Why do you carry the scent of our Yun Que Civilization?"

The Yun Que Clan member arrived in front of Chen Du and asked coldly, with a condescending attitude.

Her attitude was arrogant, like a master interrogating a slave in her possession.

"Scent?"

Chen Du questioned, puzzled.

"We, the Yun Que Civilization, possess a unique body scent that only our own people can detect."

"For this scent to transfer to another clan, the two must have coexisted for at least three hours."

"And the scent on you is extremely strong, indicating you've coexisted with one of our Yun Que Civilization for at least a day."

"We, the Yun Que Civilization, are a Tier 1 Great Civilization, how could we possibly spend so much time with a bug like you?"

"Tell me honestly, which Yun Que Civilization member have you been with these past few days? When I return, I will punish him."

"If the circumstances aren't too severe, I might allow you to keep a complete corpse."

"Otherwise, I will destroy the civilization behind you!"

So that's how it is.

The other party hadn't discovered the relationship between him and Ru Yan; they were simply attracted by the scent.

He had spent three days on Ru Yan, no wonder the other party said the scent was strong.

It seemed the other party simply felt that a Small Civilization carrying the scent of the Yun Que Civilization was an insult to their civilization.

This was evident from how Ru Yan had intended to crush him with one claw upon their first meeting; they seemed to have a bit of a cleanliness obsession.

However, it must be said that a Tier 1 Great Civilization was indeed overbearing; upon meeting, they gave Chen Du two options without asking any questions.

One was to be killed, the other was to have his civilization destroyed.

Goodness, either way, it's death.

"Oh, that matter."

Chen Du said, his tone understated.

It was as if a high-ranking leader personally asked Chen Du what he had just done, and Chen Du replied, 'Don't rush, let me have a drink of water first.'

"It's nothing much, just captured one of your Yun Que Civilization (Lark) Clan members and rode her for a few days. You know, she was quite useful, a smooth ride all the way."

The Yun Que Clan member in front of him was stunned by this answer.

Her superior expression also crumbled at this moment.

"It seems our Yun Que Civilization's deterrent power is still insufficient."

"I will find your civilization, then find your family, and in front of them, I will flay you alive, turn you into noodles, and feed them to your family!"

"I will make you understand the price of loose lips."

Swish!

At this moment.

A cold glint suddenly flashed in the eyes of this Level 25 Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior.

He saw a sharp sword light!

So fast!

How could it be so fast!

He wasn't surprised that this Small Civilization would attack him, but how could a mere Level 23 Sky Soaring Warrior unleash such a fast sword strike?

Without time to think, he instinctively folded his wings, wrapping himself up to form a defensive posture.

This sword strike was too fast for him to dodge, and his intuition told him that this strike surpassed the range of what his crushed gold could shatter, so he instinctively chose to defend.

Unfortunately, he still underestimated the power of this sword strike.

Clang!

The two collided, and the immense power instantly destroyed the Yun Que Clan member's defense.

"This power!"

"How is this possible! Your Martial Skill level actually has 47% Control!"

"You're only Level 23, how can you have such a Martial Skill level!"

The Yun Que Clan member shrieked, as if seeing her great-grandmother who had died many years ago.

Chen Du struck decisively, an incredibly fast sword strike that directly cut the Level 25 Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior in half amidst her cries of alarm.

The sword strike was incredibly precise, cutting the opponent like a work of art, and Chen Du perfectly bisected her heart as well.

She died on the spot.

After instantly killing the opponent, Chen Du did not stop, quickly following up with a million sword strikes, reducing the opponent to dust and ashes, ensuring that the Yun Que Civilization had no means to track his information.

After absorbing a drop of eternal elixir, Chen Du could now, by his own raw strength, kill a Level 25 Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior in one move.

Advanced Sky Soaring Warriors, even within Great Civilizations, were entities of a certain status.

In this world, status was almost equivalent to strength; Advanced Sky Soaring Warriors were not just any random individuals in any civilization, even in Overlord-level Civilizations.

"Scent, huh?"

Chen Du murmured to himself.

He did not feel the slightest bit of pride for killing an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior of a Tier 1 Great Civilization in one move.

To Chen Du, this was like taking out the trash downstairs, nothing to be surprised about.

He firmly believed that if he were to feel even a hint of pride from killing an Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior, it could only mean that he hadn't killed enough, and he needed to kill more!

Killing more would desensitize him.

Afterward, Chen Du took out a small bottle of gasoline and a lighter from his storage space.

Chen Du had brought these items with him when he left the First Ecological Zone while packing, merely considering that they might be useful and didn't take up much space.

He hadn't expected to use them on himself now.

Chen Du poured all the gasoline onto himself, then lit the flame, turning himself into a man of fire.

There wasn't much gasoline, so the fire extinguished quickly; this level of flame wouldn't even harm Chen Du, let alone kill him.

His purpose in doing this was simply to burn off the Yun Que Civilization's scent from his body.

Since the scent could be acquired by staying for a long time, it should theoretically disappear after leaving for a long time; burning was merely to speed up this process.

Today, he encountered a Level 25 Advanced Sky Soaring Warrior; if he were to encounter a Domain Warrior, that would truly be awkward.

However, Domain Warriors rarely appeared in such places; their status was noble, so they were either busy with important matters or living a life of luxury in their civilization.

Chen Du believed that, given his current strength, the probability of encountering one was very small.

Three days later, Chen Du returned to the Liaoyuan Sector.

After several traversals, Chen Du arrived at the edge of the Liaoyuan Sector.

Under the sunlight, ahead lay an ocean emitting a golden hue.

"Crossing here, I'll reach the Myriad Flowers Sector."

Chen Du looked at the Golden Sea of Bitterness before him and murmured to himself.
