Chapter 592: Chapter 592

Lu Zixun, unaware that his meeting with Yue Sichen had been secretly photographed, raised his hand and a soundproof barrier appeared, "You know about the Spiritual Ability Disorder?"

Yue Sichen nodded slightly and fiddled with his hair, "Otherwise, how would I know about the Civilization Destroyer? This is a conspiracy from Him."

Perhaps feeling that his expression was not quite accurate,

Yue Sichen added, "And His followers hidden in the Insect Slaying Zone."

Lu Zixun pondered for a moment, "What do you want to trade for the location of the Spiritual Disorder Center?"

"Indeed, people change, if only back then..."

After showing a hint of sorrow, Yue Sichen shook his head and said, "I won’t offer this piece of information for free. Do you know how many Divine beings are preparing to awaken within the Crimson Land?"

Turning his head away without looking at Yue Sichen’s expression, Lu Zixun shook his head, "I don’t know."

"No fewer than five."

Raising one hand and spreading his fingers, Yue Sichen said confidently, "Among these five, there may not be a single one who bears goodwill toward humanity."

Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, "Why do They not bear goodwill towards humans?"

"That, I do not know."

Shaking his head and laughing lightly, Yue Sichen joked, "Of course, They don’t bear any goodwill towards the Insect Clan either."

In Lu Zixun’s understanding, these Divine beings should be the embodiment of creatures from human imagination.

However, after going through so many events, Lu Zixun felt it was not so.

Seeing Lu Zixun waiting for him to speak first, Yue Sichen wasn’t afraid of Lu Zixun bargaining and directly stated, "I’m telling you all this information for free. Now, I’d like to trade the location of the Spiritual Disorder Center for a favor from you."

"What kind of favor?"

Not immediately agreeing, Lu Zixun asked.

"Help in terms of power."

Pausing for a bit, Yue Sichen added, "Of course, if you feel any danger along the way, you can leave at any time."

This condition was very generous for Lu Zixun.

It was as if Yue Sichen was telling Lu Zixun the location of the center for nothing in return.

After weighing for a moment, Lu Zixun accepted Yue Sichen’s terms and also obtained the location of the Spiritual Disorder Center from him.

Leaving the place where he met Yue Sichen with an unchanged expression on his face, Lu Zixun’s heart was a tumultuous storm.

No one would have thought that the Spiritual Disorder Center was actually within the Crimson Academy.

"Senior Sister Si Yin, how much longer do we need to stay in the Insect Slaying Zone? There’s always a faint smell of blood in the air, and I’m starting to miss the Crimson Academy."

Lin Ya leaned on her chin, asking with a look of grievance.

"Instead of complaining, you might as well hurry up and reinforce the Array."

Walking over to Lin Ya’s side, Lin Siyin raised her hand to rub the top of her head, "We’ll be able to go back soon."

"Ah, it’s so troublesome."

Feng Yiyang, holding the back of his head, walked over and shook his head, "What’s so good about going back? For some reason, cultivating Spiritual Energy in the Crimson Academy doesn’t feel smooth."

Zhang Tianyue, who was treating Spiritual Ability Users nearby, overheard this and gave Feng Yiyang a look, "What are you babbling about, have you seriously cultivated before?"

"Fiery Sister in action, hunting for horses online."

With a grin, Wang Qing turned her gaze to Feng Yiyang, "But Sister Yue is right, when did our deputy captain become so diligent?"

"Exactly, I’ve never seen you in the Cultivation Room."

Even the usually non-snarky Li Dazhu chimed in.

Feeling hurt inside, Feng Yiyang looked at his teammates somewhat helplessly, "I’m telling the truth. It’s because I don’t cultivate much that I feel something’s off."

"Senior Brother Feng, since you don’t cultivate much, how do you have G-level strength?"

Lin Ya, who was reinforcing the talisman array, looked curiously at Feng Yiyang.

"Ah ha, that’s something I have to explain to you. In the Crimson Academy, my talent is..."

Hearing Feng Yiyang start on it again, the squad members led by Lin Siyin curled their lips and turned their heads away, pretending not to hear.

Lu Zixun, returning to Area A and having Shadow investigate immediately, found it absurd.

The Plague God had actually managed to place the center in the Crimson Academy. Why not drop it directly in the Insect Slaying Zone, where it would be simple and quick.

And the location Yue Sichen gave was right under the Crimson Academy, a spire that could emerge on the surface at any time, meaning it possessed Life Force.

"Brother Xun, it’s bad."

While Lu Zixun was contemplating how to deal with the spire, Ge Changming rushed in, uttering the classic phrase.

"If there’s bad news behind, don’t call me Brother Xun anymore, just call me Your Majesty."

Lu Zixun teased him with a smile.

"Your Majesty... pah! Brother Xun, you’re still joking with me. The scene of your meeting with Yue Sichen has been captured and posted on the Night Language Forum."

After pausing to catch his breath, Ge Changming continued, "And then, combine this with the fact that there has been hardly any Insect Clan presence in Area A, and this headline comes out."

At this point, without Ge Changming stating the title, Lu Zixun had already logged into the Night Language Forum and saw for himself.

[Shocking! Deputy Commander of the Insect Slaying Zone secretly fraternizes with an Insect Clan woman, suspected of betraying humanity!]

Such a headline is clearly a clickbait tactic taught by UC.

Lu Zixun clicked in to read the article, his expression growing ever more grave.

Although the title was quite unreliable, the article that followed was rhythmically leading readers astray, as evidenced by sentences .

"While the entire B Zone mourns the deceased Spiritual Ability Users, Lu Zixun took this critical moment to go out and meet with an Insect Clan woman, and I can’t help but suspect his intentions."

"Moreover, Lu Zixun’s original identity is that of a Demon Clan, which everyone knows. If the Demon Clan and the Insect Clan join forces, and the Demon Clan assumes the role of deputy commander, then isn’t the Insect Slaying Zone doomed to a hopeless situation?"

After the article’s publication, there were initially some who spoke out in favour of Lu Zixun.

Towards the end, the public sentiment started to lean one way.

They were all discussing Lu Zixun’s identity issues and the true purpose of his meeting with the Insect Clan woman.

"Alright, no need to panic."

Waving his hand, Lu Zixun calmed Ge Changming’s emotions, "Since it’s already happened, panicking is of no use. Now we have to think about how to solve it."

"We need to issue a statement, and then..."

Before Ge Changming could finish, Lu Zixun interrupted, "That’s the routine response. This article has photos attached, blocking that path for you. Statements are useless, they’ll only smear the situation further."

Cupping his chin in his hands, Lu Zixun muttered, "This move... I’ve never seen it before."
