Chapter 1410: Chapter 1410

In fact, the City Lord still had no choice at all; even if he wanted to join them, the opposition wouldn’t trust him.

And if they killed him, some of their plans might not be able to proceed. Hence, after being stripped of his powers, the City Lord was directly imprisoned, and his abilities were sealed using a special method, which also cut off his capacity to enter other worlds.

Only some major forces have such a method, so it is normal for Blood Lotus to possess it.

However, this matter was no trivial concern—a large city was occupied, and its population nearly massacred and transformed. The actions of Blood Lotus could be said to have touched everyone’s nerves.

Du You, who was still in the Aylan World, suddenly received dual alerts from both the academy and the Dark Web.

"War mobilization order? What’s going on, is this a mandatory mission? The credit reward is not small, though."

Du You looked at the two pieces of information before him, the fact that they could be delivered directly to him across worlds indicated that this was genuinely no small matter. With no choice, Du You had to temporarily abandon his skill refinement endeavors.

Even though he was using a relatively quick method to cultivate his skills, he had still completed less than half. He didn’t expect such a major event to occur so quickly. Du You opened the message to understand the situation.

"These Blood Lotus people are getting crazier by the minute. Thinking of negotiating terms with the alliance, they really don’t know what death is."

Blood Lotus was completely out of step with the alliance, and Du You could even be sure that this plan wasn’t concocted by Blood Lotus’s upper class. If it was, it would only mean that their upper class had lost their minds.

The very existence of Blood Lotus was to pose a threat to others, forcing them to enhance their strength.

Similarly, the existence of Blood Lotus was harmful to Earth; once they developed to a certain level, they would inevitably pose a significant threat. These guys coming out seeking negotiation and wanting to establish their own nation, it was simply courting death.

"But these people are truly cruel, to have completely destroyed such a large city."

Shaliya was also shocked by the view. Truth be told, the number of people who died under Shaliya’s command could only be greater, but there were very few innocents. Such action that directly affected the innocents of a city was abhorred by everyone.

Blood Lotus now occupied the entire Yellow Sand City and apparently was continuing to harass the nearby cities.

"It doesn’t matter, I’m heading back to the academy first." Du You couldn’t possibly go in the capacity of the Dark Web, but he could as a representative of the academy. This time, the academy was also sending people, or rather, all major academies were sending representatives.

Upon arriving at Capital University, Du You quickly met with the vice-principal. Du You had not even met the principal of his own academy, not even once, and was unaware of that situation. However, the vice-principal was one of the highest leaders of the academy.

With a strength no less than Du You’s, suppressing a branch was not an issue at all.

"I already know about the situation, what I want to know is, how could Blood Lotus breach Yellow Sand City."

"Because the passageway to Yellow Sand City is located elsewhere, not inside the city. The preparations they had were not put to use. Otherwise, the tier-six soldiers in the cities behind wouldn’t have just stood by doing nothing." This update ıs available on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

Du You understood at once; no wonder. His own city also housed many tier-six soldiers and wouldn’t be easily overcome, but Yellow Sand City, an old major city, was taken down effortlessly; it turns out this was why.

"I have another question, do we really need to attack Yellow Sand City? Would that have any effect? If the people from Blood Lotus want to flee, they just have to leave the area, it would be pointless."

The vice-principal smiled, "Not bad, you’re not a hothead. It’s good that you thought of this. On the surface, of course, we will appear to be attacking Yellow Sand City, but secretly, we are actually planning to strike at the main base of Blood Lotus."

"The Blood Lotus main base, we’ve found it that quickly? No, we must have known it all along."

"Correct, we’ve known the location of Blood Lotus’s main base for a while, just haven’t disclosed it. You should’ve realized the real reason Blood Lotus, this Evil Cult, exists is to present a threat to the masses. But now that it has grown so large, there’s no point in keeping them around, at least a cleanup of most of the upper class is necessary."

"The people on the outside know little, the only ones who truly understand the inner workings are those at the main base."

"And you’re so sure, aren’t you afraid those people have already been assimilated?"

The vice-principal’s smile grew even brighter, "Do you know how many people Blood Lotus, this Evil Cult, have made enemies with? The alliance could easily plant ten thousand informants within Blood Lotus. Even if only a hundred were undiscovered, and even if only one person out of that hundred managed to infiltrate the middle or upper class, that would be enough."

Yes, using quantity to make up for quality, what a ruthless approach indeed.

"Moreover, since these informants don’t know each other’s identities, they cannot collude to deceive the alliance. Combining various pieces of information, it’s not strange to know the exact location of their main base."

Du You was truly impressed now, "So where do we depart from?"

"From the academy itself, we’ve just adjusted the World Boat, get ready, we’ll depart in three days."

After thinking it over, the vice-principal spoke again, "As the top tier of Capital University, we have five slots. You and your two followers make three, and we will also include Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao."

"Letting them join, isn’t that too dangerous? Aren’t there stronger candidates?"

"You’re the only one stronger than those two in the student body, so it’s best to let them go. This way you can also properly carry out your work and not bring disgrace to our academy. As for their safety, I’ll leave it in your hands."

The vice-principal displayed a jestful smile. Du You could feel his temples throbbing; this was leveraging his commitment.

The vice-principal surely knew the relationship between him and the two women, or maybe it was clear to any observant person—now he really had no escape.

"Fine, I accept this mission. But if anything happens to them, I won’t let it rest."

"Don’t worry, there are many joining this mission, even including tier-one and tier-two personnel. With their strength, they’ll be fine. Besides, Blood Lotus has two tier-sevens, one of which has broken through in the past two years, probably the reason for their inflated ego."

Du You nodded, inflated indeed, only two and they dared to make such a move. Du You was certain Blood Lotus was unaware of the Dark Web, otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the audacity. Just a single academy was concealing who knows how many tier-sevens. Poor Blood Lotus was deceived by the facade of peace, believing they were so well-hidden.
