Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4098

Upon hearing what the Monkey Spirit King said, Zen became a bit confused.

He furrowed his brows in confusion. "I thought the Four Spirits Sect was invincible in the main world. If it were, why did you hide in the chaos?"

According to the Monkey Spirit King's words, Zen suspected that there might have been some sort of crisis in the main world.

Before the said crisis came, the Monkey Spirit King realized he and his subordinates couldn't survive it. This left him with no choice. He had to retreat with the Monkey Spirit Sect into another world until it was safe for them to come back.

They did all they could before they went into hiding. One of the projects they did before leaving was the Ghost Mountain, which they built to thrust out all sorts of creatures from the main world.

But who or what was threatening enough to cause the Four Spirits Sect to act in this manner? Who or what held that much power?

The Monkey Spirit King let out a loud huff, almost as if he did not want to answer Zen's question. "A disaster," he said, deciding to reveal the truth. "A great disaster happened."

"What disaster?" Zen asked.

Under his breath, the Monkey Spirit King

replied to him with something in Sanskrit, his voice fluctuating in a rhythmic pattern.

"It is..." the Monkey Spirit King paused, trying to find the accurate words to fit his description. "It is a type of calamity. At least that is how we refer to it in the main world. I do not know how to explain what it is in your language," he admitted.

"Hmm," Zen said, lowering his head in careful thought. For a short while, he seemed to be meditating, and then he slowly raised his head to address the Monkey Spirit King. "The Sanskrit words you said mean the Space and Time Calamity, right? A calamity that crosses space and time?'' he said.

When the Monkey Spirit King heard this, he snapped his head towards Zen's direction, looking at him with a confused yet curious expression.

In his position as a leader of the Four Spirits Sect, he had had several odd encounters. Because of this, it was very difficult to surprise him, but Zen managed to do so twice in a row.

Without the aid of the Four Spirits Sect, he knew people from the secondary worlds like Zen were not literate in Sanskrit, but somehow, he was able to understand him.

"Young man," the Monkey Spirit King said, "you are a creature from the chaos, aren't you?" Zen nodded his head in response. "How then are you able to understand Sanskrit?" The Monkey Spirit King followed up.

"Well, '' Zen replied, ''for starters, I do not understand Sanskrit, at least not with my own abilities. It is being translated to me in the language I speak.''
