Chapter 594: Chapter 594
Using the power of the Plague God to destroy the places protected by the Justice Goddess, thereby eradicating the spiritual ability users who control the order in the Crimson Land.
It could be said that this strategy was profoundly laid out.
He might just be an incidental addition by the Crimson, as there’s no need for further action when an AOE damage can kill the targets.
Internally shocked, Lu Zixun felt some regret at this moment.
Had he not obtained the information about the Spiritual Disorder Center from Yue Sichen, he definitely wouldn’t have realized this long-conceived plot by the Crimson.
Without this information, the approach to handle public opinion would have to fall on Qing Yuanyang to vouch for Lu Zixun publicly, using the previous Civilization Destroyer’s incident as an explanation.
But this would mean that Lu Zixun would need to expose himself to the public view all this while, otherwise, this public endorsement would hold no explanatory power.
But now, it was different.
Lu Zixun had found a better way to address this public opinion issue.
However, the outcomes it generated were not something Lu Zixun could control.
That was to expose the derivative power held by the Crimson, as well as the existence of the Plague God. This way, the stains of collusion with the Insect Clan supposedly found on Lu Zixun would be overshadowed.
However, the existence of the Divine...
For the spiritual ability users of the Crimson Land, it represented an unattainable and daunting entity.
This undoubtedly accelerated the speed at which the Plague God collected the power of fear.
At this moment, Lu Zixun felt he was in a dead-end.
"Is this the true power of the Crimson?"
He clenched his fists tightly, Lu Zixun took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
On second thought, resolving this issue didn’t need to expose the existence of the Plague God and the derivative abilities of the Crimson.
He took out his phone, Lu Zixun looked at the photo posted on the Night Language Forum.
After looking at it for a while, Lu Zixun chuckled lightly, it seemed he had found a way.
"Yuan Yang, has Xiao Xun not called yet?"
Wang Linfan took a deep breath, frowning, "There are already many spiritual ability users reporting to me, wondering why we would allow a member of the Demon Clan to serve as the Deputy Commander."
"Have you recorded these people?"
With a cold laugh, Qing Yuanyang said, "The spiritual ability users in the Insect Slaying Zone would definitely know that Brother Xun alone held up Zone A and even supported other zones. They might mutter at such a juncture, but they definitely wouldn’t come to report to you."
"The ones leading the complaints must be from the Crimson."
After a pause, Qing Yuanyang pursed his lips, "I don’t want Brother Xun to run into trouble. At this stage, Lord Xun is too crucial for the Insect Slaying Zone."
"This piece of public opinion is really ruthless. It might not matter in the short term, but over time, even the spiritual ability users in the Insect Slaying Zone will always produce some negative voices."
Wang Linfan paced back and forth for a while before he suddenly slapped the table hard, "Are these people pigs! If Lu Zixun truly intended to conquer Zone A with the Insect Clan, he would have done so by now, why would he expose himself!"
Looking at the righteous indignation on Wang Linfan’s face, Qing Yuanyang sighed, "Brother-in-law, you need to understand that public opinion is always illogical, and the keyboard warriors online won’t spare you for your past contributions but will only pursue the mistakes you are committing now."
"If the Star Network were real-name based..."
Wang Linfan clenched his fists tightly before helplessly releasing them. He knew this was simply not feasible.
"Hello, are you waiting for me here?"
Just as the two were sighing in the office, the languid voice of Lu Zixun sounded at the window.
Surprised, Qing Yuanyang quickly said, "Come in quickly, don’t let other people see you."
Entering the office, Lu Zixun muttered, "I’m not some criminal suspect, why be so cautious?"
Clearly hearing Lu Zixun’s muttering, Qing Yuanyang wore a look of helplessness on his face, "If people see you, and it spreads to the Night Language Forum, then even our public testimony would probably be ineffective."
Lu Zixun shrugged, dropping a bombshell, "The Civilization Destroyer was released by the Plague God."
"The Plague... the Plague God!"
Qing Yuanyang’s mouth fell open in disbelief, "He was supposed to have been slain by the Justice Goddess with the Sanction Sword. How could he still be alive?"
Lu Zixun looked at Qing Yuanyang with a stunned expression.
That explained it, why strike at anything other than what could restrain the Civilization Destroyer within the order, there was indeed this layer of connection.
"Did Yue Sichen tell you this?"
Wang Linfan, having quickly grasped the situation, asked.
"Yes, and he also told me about his subsequent plans."
Lu Zixun chuckled, "How to eliminate the public opinion from now on might have to be handled by you guys, as defending oneself in such matters often doesn’t seem too credible."
After telling them about the Plague God’s plans to trigger the spiritual ability disorder.
Lu Zixun smiled and said, "Just need to transform Yue Sichen’s identity from an Insect Clan woman to our Insect Clan spy. I think that would make things much simpler and clearer."
This was the best method Lu Zixun had come up with after viewing the photo for a while.
Connecting it to the order swiftly dealing with the Civilization Destroyer matter, Lu Zixun instantly thought of this plan.
It didn’t need to expose the derivative power of the Crimson to solve the Spire’s problem and could also swiftly clear the mud splashed on Lu Zixun, hitting three birds with one stone.
After pondering for a while and then slowly nodding, Wang Linfan said, "I think it’s doable. The Spire is right underneath the Crimson Academy and can’t escape. We have adequate proof that the ’spy’s’ reported intelligence is genuine."
"I will set it in motion right now."
Feeling it feasible, Qing Yuanyang, after a brief greeting, walked out of the office to start arranging the matter.
"Brother-in-law, how did you guys know that the Plague God was killed by the Justice Goddess with the Sanction Sword?" asked Qing Yuanyang previously.
Now that the public opinion issue had been handled, Lu Zixun returned to his carefree state.
At this moment, sitting in Qing Yuanyang’s office chair, he switched into gossip mode.
"When we were cultivating the derivative power and were able to use the Order, we opened a hidden space where we found a metal plate bearing an inscription."
"The world was enveloped by malicious plague, justice like dawn, transforming into sanction, extinguishing everything."
