Chapter 600: Chapter 600

Entering a manor, Lu Zixun met Tan Ye.

Another familiar manor.

The sensation this gave Lu Zixun was not particularly pleasant.

After all, in Ribel City, the residents of the manor were basically hidden dragons, formidable beings in their own right.

Lu Zixun smiled and sat down on the sofa, "Lord Tan, your power has improved quickly."

It had only been a month since he’d seen Tan Ye and the guy had progressed from J-level to I-level.

This pace was even three times faster than Lu Zixun’s.

Maybe believing in the Divine had an effect on speeding up cultivation?

Just as Lu Zixun’s mind was brimming with thoughts, Tan Ye opened his mouth and said, "You’ve also improved quickly in strength, but your small talk skills are kind of poor."

Lu Zixun’s mouth twitched at Tan Ye’s teasing, a point he couldn’t refute.

Starting a conversation by commenting on the speed of cultivation increase was somewhat like asking if one had eaten upon meeting.

However, Lu Zixun didn’t feel embarrassed and seriously said, "I don’t think you had Yue Sichen contact me just to catch up after so long, right? Tell me where the Plague God’s followers are."

"You’re still so direct."

Tan Ye gave a wry smile, "Their location is well chosen, right where you rescued me before."

The place where he’d rescued Tan Ye...

Frowning, Lu Zixun thought for a moment. Could it be at the Floating Island?

Seeing the confusion in Lu Zixun’s eyes, Tan Ye nodded, "Exactly, at that mysterious Floating Island."

Frowning again, Lu Zixun inquired.

Logically, the Floating Island was guarded by Yuan Yu.

Even if Yuan Yu’s power was sealed, being the one who had previously contended with the Lord of Sin, he wouldn’t allow the Plague God’s followers to set foot on the island, let alone permit them to prepare the coming ceremony for the Plague God there.

Tan Ye spread his hands, equally puzzled by this.

Although he had only stayed on the Floating Island for two months, Tan Ye believed he understood Yuan Yu quite well.

However, on these last few visits to the Floating Island, he hadn’t seen a trace of Yuan Yu.

Raising his eyebrows, Lu Zixun spoke discontentedly, "Lord Tan, this ignorance of yours is somewhat hard to believe."

Upon hearing this, Tan Ye let out a bitter laugh and shared that he hadn’t seen Yuan Yu on the Floating Island.

After casting a doubtful glance at Tan Ye, Lu Zixun lowered his head and muttered to himself.

Yuan Yu’s duty was to guard the Floating Island and oversee the sealed consciousness of the Lord of Sin, but he had unexpectedly left the island...

"Based on what I know about Yuan Yu, he would never leave the Floating Island, as the word ’responsibility’ holds a different meaning for him,"

Tan Ye paused briefly before continuing, "So if we rule out all possibilities, what’s left, however impossible, must be what happened: Yuan Yu has been imprisoned by the Plague God’s followers."

Incredulity shone in Lu Zixun’s eyes.

Even if Yuan Yu’s abilities were sealed, he was still a G-level Spiritual Ability User.

If the Plague God’s followers could imprison Yuan Yu, then this trip to the Floating Island would likely be fraught with much more danger than fortune.

Tan Ye, noticing the change in Lu Zixun’s expression, hurriedly said, "The Plague God’s followers aren’t that strong; at most, they are but J-level Spiritual Ability Users. However, the extended abilities they can wield are formidable, enough that even A-level Spiritual Ability Users couldn’t withstand them once they’re used."

Upon hearing Tan Ye’s words, Lu Zixun felt somewhat relieved in his heart. Indeed, it was so.

Although he did not know what the Plague God’s Believers’ extending ability was, he estimated it could not be disconnected from the words plague.

The Crimson Land had Order that could constrain the power of the plague; besides that, only Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Fire could deal with it.

Just like the Civilization Destroyer, if there was no way to stop the Civilization Destroyer, the Crimson Land might very well become its world.

Thinking up to this point, Lu Zixun looked thoughtfully at Yue Sichen.

Previously, Yue Sichen said that the Civilization Destroyer had also entered the Insect Breeding Ground, but now it seems, nothing had happened.

"The Insect Clan died in numbers around three million before the Civilization Destroyer was eliminated."

Yue Sichen said indifferently, "That’s why we need to find a way to deal with the Believers of the Plague God, as after all, the Insect Clan does not worship him."

The "him" Yue Sichen referred to should undoubtedly be the Justice Goddess.

It was quite normal that the Insect Clan did not worship the Justice Goddess.

But what intrigued Lu Zixun was which god Yue Sichen and the others worshipped.

Nevertheless, neither Tan Ye nor Yue Sichen seemed inclined to discuss this matter.

After explaining the general situation to Lu Zixun, Tan Ye stood up and said, "Rest for a while, we’ll depart in two hours."

Lu Zixun sorted out his storage talismans and stood up as well, "Let’s go now."

The long and blood-stained bridge made of the corpses of the Insect Clan appeared once again before Lu Zixun.

Only this time, there was no need for subterfuge, but to proceed in an open and upright manner.

Lu Zixun even saw a familiar face, Du Xingce, the Poison Star Strategist.

Clearly, the Poison Star Strategist had a good memory. After all, an orange cat with striped patterns stood out in the eyes of the Insect Clan.

"Yes, here I am again."

Looking at Du Xingce, Lu Zixun smiled, "Given your strength, and that you’re still here, it seems some people hold quite the grudge."

Du Xingce scoffed coldly, chose not to engage in further conversation with Lu Zixun, and turned to look at Tan Ye, "Entry proof."

Tan Ye didn’t waste any words, simply tossing over a card.

Du Xingce bent down to inspect the card carefully, then pocketed it, nodded, and walked away with arms folded.

Walking on the bridge, Lu Zixun asked.

"Hmm, after all, he is a god, though yet to descend, he’s still a dangerous entity."

Pausing for a moment, Tan Ye went into detail, "If anyone could enter, it would be a joke if they brought back the plague."

"You know that’s not what I’m asking."

Lu Zixun interjected to cut off Tan Ye’s feigned ignorance.

By all accounts, the Yue Clan was no longer the small family it once was.

Yet they still needed this kind of one-time pass to enter the Floating Island, which meant there was another power faction in play.

"Sometimes you’re too clever, revealing some information while cooperating with you."

Summoning Blood Energy, Tan Ye resisted the poison fog, "Also, your power has increased rapidly. Otherwise, you would have died a long time ago."

"Let me handle this."

Summoning Spiritual Fire to burn away the poison fog, Lu Zixun smiled, "Don’t beat around the bush with me. Just tell me who can give you the pass, and that’s it. I won’t ask about anything else."
