Chapter 599: Chapter 599
This mysterious drama, filled with unclear meanings, was recorded into a video and distributed on the Star Network.
Crimson Land not only has Spiritual Ability Users but also many ordinary people.
Such a video, if seen by the public, would inevitably trigger some unexpected incidents.
And as the Night Language Forum was the quickest in terms of staff circulation, its moderation cut off the video first thing and sent it to Crimson’s hands.
It was clear, from the video, that the Divine intentions contained within made Qing Yuanyang’s brows tightly furrow in the office.
Others might not know who the woman mentioned by the High Priest in the video was, but he did.
This video was indeed from the Plague God’s believers, declaring war on Order.
But in Qing Yuanyang’s view, they might have other purposes.
Rubbing his slightly aching temples, Qing Yuanyang sighed, perhaps it was a struggle among believers?
By then, Lu Zixun, who had already reached the Insect Breeding Ground, had not immediately seen that absurd video.
The ground of the Insect Breeding Ground was covered in purple Fungus Blanket, making walking on it feel particularly strange.
This made Lu Zixun feel extremely uncomfortable inside; he simply lay on the Night Evil Sword and followed Yue Sichen.
"The Plague God’s believers, since they chose a landing spot in the Insect Breeding Ground, you could mobilize the insect swarm over there, and just wipe them out all at once."
Pausing for a moment, Lu Zixun glanced around at the occasionally passing members of the Insect Clan. "But why haven’t you done so?"
If Lu Zixun was on his own in the Insect Breeding Ground, these passing insects would probably swarm over him in an instant.
It was only because of the Blood Energy exerted by Yue Sichen and the unique scent within Yue Sichen’s Blood Energy that made these insects withdraw and dare not approach.
Responding to the question Lu Zixun posed, Yue Sichen did not conceal anything and said indifferently, "It’s not that we can’t, but that the loss would be too great. We don’t know if those plagues can be filled by a sea of insects tactic, nor do we know if they have other tactics."
"The followers of the Plague God are no fools."
Yue Sichen shook his head. "Since they chose to land here rather than in Crimson Land, they surely have ways to deal with the Insect Clan, so... we found you."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lu Zixun stayed silent for a moment then continued. "So here comes the question, the ’we’ you speak of, who exactly are they?"
After looking around, Yue Sichen turned left and walked towards a direction. "Now Tan Ye is the Clan Leader of the Yue Clan, and we are nobles in the Insect Clan, naturally we must oppose the foreign Divine."
Lu Zixun thought to himself.
He just knew why Yue Sichen was so eager to oppose the Plague God.
Originally, they also had their own Divine beliefs; they definitely could not let the Plague God descend.
Lu Zixun said that how could the Insect Clan possibly know the dangers brought by the return of the Plague God.
Originally he thought that the Insect Clan had foresight; now it seems not so, and Lu Zixun had overestimated them.
For the rest of the journey, Lu Zixun followed quietly behind Yue Sichen.
An hour later, a city appeared before Lu Zixun.
Unlike the previous buildings supplemented by flesh and blood, this place resembled more a human society.
Looking at the city that suddenly appeared before him, Lu Zixun first associated it with Zone 25 he had seen before.
"Where the Yue Clan now resides, you can also call it Zone 25."
Yue Sichen did not hide anything and said quite frankly.
Without asking about the human situation inside Zone 25, Lu Zixun nodded and did not ask further.
Some things understood without saying appeared out of place to ask.
Entering Yue Cong, also known as Zone 25.
The city gate slowly opened, revealing a Spiritual Energy User who was opening the gate.
At this moment, their eyes, upon seeing Yue Sichen, held not murderous intent but rather joy.
"Ding—Detecting alert level from Xi Zhong +20000."
"Lady Yue, you’ve finally returned."
After greeting Yue Sichen with a smile, Xi Zhong’s gaze shifted to Lu Zixun. "Lady Yue, this person is..."
Yue Sichen nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Thank you all for your hard work these past few days."
"Oh, oh, protecting the city is our duty."
"If those bastards come, I kill one each."
Passing through the city gate and walking in the city center, Lu Zixun felt unusually surprised.
The humans of Zone 25, towards the Insect Clan... no, rather towards the Yue Clan, had an odd attitude.
It wasn’t the atmosphere of enemies, rather it was warm, as close as family.
"Many times, the concept of first impressions is a human defect; even if I tried hard in the past, humans could never accept the notion of living peacefully with the Insect Clan."
Saying this, Yue Sichen chuckled softly, almost mockingly, "So I thought about changing the method; only if the first impression to humans is that the Insect Clan is harmless and can help them, their attitude towards us changed drastically."
Looking at Yue Sichen walking ahead, Lu Zixun vaguely felt that she... seemed a bit sad.
Reflecting on Yue Sichen’s viewpoint for a moment, Lu Zixun said, "Human nature is fickle and complex, and there are ungrateful people everywhere; relying solely on gratitude won’t get one far."
"So yes, I regret it."
Yue Sichen turned back and gave Lu Zixun a sweet smile, though her eyes were full of icy coldness, "After such a long time of interaction, I’ve found human beings are not as noble as I imagined, worse even than the Insect Clan."
As she spoke, her fingers lightly caressed her face; Yue Sichen shook her head. "Lu Zixun, do you think I’m beautiful?"
This question, Lu Zixun really couldn’t lie; Yue Sichen indeed was very beautiful.
Seeing Lu Zixun nod, Yue Sichen gave a wry smile, "Even you think so, not to mention those humans. If I changed my face, do you think those people would still be so enthusiastic?"
Before Lu Zixun, a decayed face suddenly appeared.
The beauty from before seemed eroded by time, now becoming particularly repellent.
Understanding what Yue Sichen intended to express after that, Lu Zixun pursed his lips, admitting it was indeed so.
Humans are sensory animals; like the concept of first impressions, the first thing you see is more important than anything.
But now was obviously not the time to speak such words, as Yue Sichen clearly showed signs of turning dark.
"It’s actually because of their lack of culture, after all... interesting souls are one in a million, and good appearances are dime a dozen."
Shrugging, Yue Sichen’s face returned to normal, speaking noncommittally.
