Chapter 595: Chapter 595

From this sentence, it could be seen that the Justice Goddess and the Plague God were old adversaries.

Having realized this, Lu Zixun decided to keep his distance from Order in the future.

"Brother-in-law, it’s time for us to go to Crimson Academy."

Without asking anything else, Lu Zixun said with a smile, "After all, since the matter with the Spire has been exposed, Crimson is bound to make some moves."

"Recently, some negative comments about Deputy Commander Lu have appeared on the Night Language Forum, and I would like to make a statement regarding this."

In the live broadcast, Qing Yuanyang sat in a bright room, eloquently speaking.

"And yesterday’s outbreak was not actually a plague but a parasitic worm with contagion, a manifestation of the Insect Clan’s tactics. Now I’d like to pose a question that everyone may respond to in the comments."

With his hands crossed on the desk, Qing Yuanyang looked deep into the camera: "How do you think we were able to resolve this conspiracy by the Insect Clan so quickly?"

During Qing Yuanyang’s hour-long explanation, the direction of the wind on the Night Language Forum instantly changed.

A group of people suddenly emerged to defend Lu Zixun and lashed out at the editor who had written the article, berating them mercilessly.

Standing outside the basement and looking at his phone, Lu Zixun’s face revealed a hint of scorn. Perhaps this was what they called keyboard warriors?

"Xiao Xun, it seems like the people from Crimson intend to abandon this place."

While Qing Yuanyang began proving his point in the live stream, Lu Zixun, leading the core members of the Demon Country, followed Wang Linfan to the basement of Crimson Academy.

During this time, no one from Crimson showed up, not even the Nightmare Ability.

However, Lu Zixun thought about it and found it not so surprising.

Whether a pawn was worth protecting depended on the value it brought to its user.

Now that Order had uncovered the Spire causing Spiritual Ability Disorder, any move by Crimson to send people would seem guilty as a thief.

Lu Zixun’s gaze fell upon Geng Xiyuan and he nodded.

The Spire that could incite madness obviously couldn’t be dealt with by Spiritual Ability Users.

Even Lu Zixun was powerless against the Spire; once you entered underground through the basement entrance, the Spiritual Energy in the body would involuntarily go berserk.

But such abilities had no effect on Demon Ability Users, which is why Lu Zixun had brought Geng Xiyuan and the others along.

After Geng Xiyuan and his companions entered the underground, the ground began to shake after a while, and then after some time, everything went quiet again.

"Brother Xun, it’s taken care of."

Geng Xiyuan and others emerged looking disheveled, clearly having had a rough time.

"Good job, you’ve all worked hard. Let’s add a meal’s worth of the Power of Faith later," Lu Zixun said, patting Geng Xiyuan on the shoulder and gesturing for them to leave first. Then he looked thoughtfully at Wang Linfan: "Brother-in-law, what do you think the original purpose of the underground of the Crimson Academy was?"

In fact, when Shadow had sent the investigated information to Lu Zixun, he discovered something strange.

The shape of the Spire was very similar to the Trial Tower, as if it had been built by imitating the Trial Tower.

Regarding Lu Zixun’s question, Wang Linfan saw no need for secrecy and said: "Do you know why I told you that Crimson wouldn’t dare to harm Little Yin? It’s because this place was where the Trial Tower used to stay."

"At first, this place was not the Crimson Academy, but a desolate land. It wasn’t until three years into Crimson that an old man entered the underground and activated the Trial Tower, and that’s when Crimson Academy came into existence."

As he spoke, Wang Linfan walked toward the ground: "During this process, Crimson Academy cultivated batches of outstanding Spiritual Ability Users, and Order gradually grew and strengthened as well."

Following Wang Linfan, Lu Zixun pondered for a moment before asking: "If the Justice Goddess can protect the Crimson Academy, doesn’t that mean her power is on par with the Bloody Moon’s? Why then does Order only act in secrecy?"

"Because Divinity counters."

"Ding—Host has collected a piece of the World Mystery, with the current progress at 9/178."

"Divine powers originate from the mysterious Void, and within the Void, there exist many different forces. When Divine beings absorb these forces and infuse them into Divinity, this power will surpass the limits of human control."

"All things give rise to and restrain each other; Divinity also has its own systems of generation and restraint."

"Divinity is unique."

After a long absence, a piece of the World Mystery appeared again, and Lu Zixun almost thought the system had forgotten about the World Mystery altogether.

This time, the information provided by the World Mystery was quite interesting. Lu Zixun pondered it for a moment and understood.

When the power of the Void is infused into Divinity, it becomes incredibly strong.

But such power can be countered, that is, Divinity is unique.

At this moment, Lu Zixun also understood why Order could only act in the shadows.

Arriving in front of the portal, Wang Linfan looked up at the clear blue sky.

With vacant eyes, he enjoyed the moment for a while: "Winter is coming soon, and who knows how long it will be before we see the sun again."

Using the device provided by Yue Sichen, Lu Zixun contacted Yue Sichen.

"Congratulations, you’ve successfully managed this round of public opinion, although I ended up being your informant."

As soon as the connection was made, the device conveyed Yue Sichen’s congratulatory voice.

Surprised that Yue Sichen was also paying attention to the matter, Lu Zixun laughed lightly: "I should thank you for this matter. If the information you provided weren’t so accurate and timely, things may not have gone so smoothly."

"It’s good that I could be of help. Are you able to enter the Insect Slaying Zone these days? I have something... sizzle..."

The sound of electric currents crossed through the device.

After a while, the voice in the device became distorted and terrifying: "I’ve finally found you."

As soon as the voice fell, the sky in Lu Zixun’s region was overrun by sickly green clouds.

In the next instant, a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent locked onto Lu Zixun.

Just that one look rendered Lu Zixun immobile.

The space around seemed to freeze instantly, and everyone stopped in their tracks.

Lu Zixun recognized this being... it was the Plague God.

And that familiar sound of electrical interference had occurred when contacting Feng Kui Ming before.

At the time, Lu Zixun hadn’t taken it seriously, but now it seemed the Plague God had left some kind of tracking method back then.

Seeing the Twisted value in his body was about to break the threshold and he was on the verge of succumbing to a mad and twisted state, Lu Zixun strained to mobilize that sliver of consciousness in his mind to activate the Sky-splitting Gem.

Opening his eyes and gasping for breath, beads of sweat dropped slowly from Lu Zixun’s forehead.

Lu Zixun had always been skeptical about the extent of the power Divine beings could wield.

He wondered, were the Divine truly that powerful?
