Chapter 609: Chapter 609

In the wee hours of the morning,

Lu Zixun, curled up and soundly asleep, was awakened by the ringing of his phone.

Through his bleary-eyed gaze, an undeniable air of irritation lingered.

Glancing at the caller ID, which showed Qing Yuanyang, Lu Zixun took a deep breath and answered the call.

If Qing Yuanyang didn’t have something important and was just calling to disturb his sleep, Lu Zixun swore he would give him a thrashing.

"Heavy breathing...watch the right side, they’re coming again!"

As soon as the call connected, a cacophony of noise burst through, akin to the chaos of battle.

Lu Zixun bolted upright in bed. What on earth was going on?

"Lord Xun, we need backup."

The tired voice continued, Qing Yuanyang quickly said, "We’re currently near the He Family residential area and have been ambushed by followers of the Plague God."

Summoning the Night Evil Sword, Lu Zixun flew towards Zone 3, while asking, "Wasn’t your operation supposed to be stealthy? How did you get ambushed?"

"Within the Order...there are believers of the Plague God."

Raising his hand to create an Order, he suppressed the believers’ attack.

Qing Yuanyang said helplessly, "I didn’t expect these people to be so capable, to actually infiltrate us."

A twitch appeared at the corner of Lu Zixun’s mouth; he would need at least ten minutes to reach Zone 3. "Doesn’t the Order have any means of detection?"

"Yes, but somehow they managed to evade it."

Watching the established Order about to be breached, Qing Yuanyang hurriedly said, "We can hold out for another twenty minutes before reinforcements arrive. I’m asking you, Lord Xun, to keep an eye on the Insect Slaying Zone, especially the church."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun abruptly stopped.

So Qing Yuanyang was just asking him to watch over the Insect Slaying Zone, not to save lives. Why did he even bother getting up?

Staring at the phone, which continued to emit busy signals, Lu Zixun fell silent for a moment.

Just as Lu Zixun was about to turn back, a bloody little moon appeared in the sky, and a flood of murmurs suddenly filled his ears.

Caught off guard and affected, Lu Zixun swayed and tumbled off the Night Evil Sword, plummeting towards the ground.

"Not so impressive, after all."

The figure in black clothes, his face hidden beneath a hood, stood atop a high building. Watching Lu Zixun fall, he shook his head and a scornful smile formed on his lips.

Just then, Lu Zixun, who was plummeting, flashed and appeared behind the man in black.

After speaking softly, he drove the Night Evil Sword into the man’s heart.

Blood silently spilled onto the ground as the man’s eyes filled with an expression of incredible disbelief.

He failed to comprehend how Lu Zixun had so quickly regained his senses under the influence of the Bloody Moon.

"Ding—Elimination of Lin He yields Super Energy Particles +20000."

Surprisingly, this person was an I-Level Spiritual Ability User, Lu Zixun thought, stroking his chin.

If it weren’t for his previous absorption of Pure Distortion, he might have actually fallen prey to the attack.

However, someone from the Crimson was waiting here for him.

Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes. Could this be the opportunity that Crimson had been waiting for?

Waiting for Qing Yuanyang to leave the Insect Slaying Zone?

After pondering for a moment, Lu Zixun continued towards Zone 3.

But before doing so, he made a phone call to Zeng Haoyang.

Dressed in pajamas and watching it start to snow in the Crimson Land, Zeng Haoyang silently lit a cigarette.

He hadn’t expected that the initial struggle for the Divine Position would end up involving Lu Zixun.

If he did not take action and remained an outsider, it would be too late.

Wisps of white smoke twirled in the air as Zeng Haoyang exhaled, then he pulled out his phone: "Let’s begin."

In the Insect Slaying Zone, where the people of Crimson had been waiting for a message from headquarters, a group of Spiritual Ability Users suddenly appeared, quickly taking control of the area and starting to prepare for war with full alertness.

Members of Sha Fei were stunned by the sudden change in the Insect Slaying Zone, wondering where the hell these people had come from.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

"Wait for headquarters’ orders. Don’t make any rash... argh..."

He didn’t finish his sentence before a knife, emerging from the shadows, pierced his heart.

In the moment the knife appeared, the other members of Crimson were quickly dealt with.

Shadow emerged from the shadows, not giving the bodies a second glance, and said flatly, "The purging has begun. From now on, all members will follow Elder Zeng’s arrangements."

Uniform nods followed, and the group from Demon Country disappeared back into the shadows, leaving only corpses behind.

Arriving above Zone 3, Lu Zixun flew straight toward the area where the Extraordinary Power had emerged.

From his vantage point, looking down, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow, feeling that the situation was not as clear-cut as Qing Yuanyang had described.

Reinforcements from Order had indeed arrived.

But they were still being suppressed by the Believers of the Plague God.

As for the members of Crimson in Zone 3, they seemed to have vanished — none were seen.

Clearly, this was a conspiracy by Crimson against Order.

What Lu Zixun couldn’t figure out was why Crimson was so certain that Qing Yuanyang would definitely come to Zone 3 today.

It all made sense when Lu Zixun saw He Changyu among the Believers of the Plague God. He took a sharp breath.

Crimson must have reached some kind of agreement with Limorex.

Just as he was about to intervene, Lu Zixun noticed something odd and decided to wait.

The blood of the Believers killed by Order did not spread out upon touching the ground; it was absorbed by the earth instead.

Lu Zixun had seen this phenomenon with the Insect Clan before. Could it be that the Plague Worms had arrived?

With this thought, Lu Zixun decided to hold back and observe for a while longer.

"I declare the Believers of the Plague God cannot approach this area."

Seeing the exhausted spiritual energy of the combat personnel around him, Qing stepped in.

He summoned the last bit of his Extraordinary Power to alleviate the onslaught of the Plague God’s Believers.

However, this was undoubtedly just a temporary measure. If they didn’t find a way to break the siege soon, they would all eventually die here.

"Your justice is worthless in the eyes of others. Your actions are laughable, like a clown’s performance. Who can you actually protect? You can protect no one, including yourself. You’re all going to die here."

He Tianming, who couldn’t enter the area but could speak, wore a mocking smile on his face.

Qing, who knew He Tianming well, looked saddened: "Grandpa He, why do you worship the Plague God? You know that He is not..."

A cloud of toxic mist spread from He Tianming’s hands, enveloping the area.

He Tianming sneered: "How could you, a mere mortal, understand His greatness?"
