CHAPTER 625: CHAPTER 624: SHOWDOWN! THE ULTIMATE TABLE-FLIP KING

The name Chi Yan was very strange, and Lu Zixun didn’t recognize it.

But when it came to Chi Yuan, Lu Zixun could say he was quite familiar with it, after all, he had received quite a few Crimson Coins from them.

However, it was rather surprising to Lu Zixun that Chi Yuan had survived.

I-Level Spiritual Ability Users died in the clan extermination, yet a J-Level Spiritual Ability User survived, did you think you were Da Ju?

Seeing that the two in front of him had not expressed any opinion, Shadow continued, "I followed these two names and found out that both of them have disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

These two words caught Zeng Haoyang’s attention, and with a raised eyebrow, he asked, "Did they disappear before the clan extinction or after?"

"Chi Yuan was before, and Chi Yan was after."

Shadow answered Zeng Haoyang’s question honestly.

As soon as the words came out, Lu Zixun and Zeng Haoyang both appeared thoughtful.

Anything that seemed unusually abnormal could likely be the truth.

"Continue to investigate the whereabouts of these two people and look towards Crimson Land."

After a while, Zeng Haoyang said indifferently, "If nothing unexpected happens, one of these two people should have already been imprisoned by Crimson by now."

"Why not both people being locked up?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but ask his question.

Turning to look at Lu Zixun, Zeng Haoyang chuckled, "Da Ju, you still have so much to learn."

"The one who was locked up must be Chi Yan."

Ignoring Zeng Haoyang’s teasing, Lu Zixun thought carefully and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

What was Chi Yuan’s identity?

The most favored individual of the Chi Family, if he had been locked up by Crimson before the clan extinction, would Chi Zuwang let Crimson off the hook?

Even if Chi Zuwang wouldn’t target Crimson openly, there would definitely be some underhanded tactics privately, but since Shadow didn’t mention this, it meant Chi Zuwang hadn’t done so.

After Shadow left to continue the investigation, Lu Zixun turned to look at Zeng Haoyang, "Old Master, do we still have to wait now?"

"No need to wait, we can only find out so much information now."

Shaking his head, Zeng Haoyang looked at his phone and said, "If we continue to investigate, it will inevitably provoke a retaliation from Crimson, which would be somewhat regrettable."

It was certain now that the extermination of the Chi Family had something to do with Crimson.

But Crimson didn’t make their move directly, the energy residues at the scene were of a type never recorded in Crimson Land.

All these things could explain a lot.

If they wanted to touch some things, they would need to find either Chi Yuan or Chi Yan.

But this would undoubtedly touch Crimson’s bottom line, which could be evidence of their character collapse.

When you hit bottom, there will eventually be a rebound, which is why Zeng Haoyang said this was just right.

Having left area A, Lu Zixun thought a lot about what Zeng Haoyang had said, and he benefited greatly from it.

Through indirect ways of understanding one’s nature, this was what Lu Zixun learned today.

"Bang!"

Just as Lu Zixun stood on the Night Evil Sword, lost in thought, a streak of green light suddenly attacked, slamming fiercely against the Night Evil Sword.

"Ding—Killing Intent Value from Chi Yuan detected +180000."

"Fog Grass?"

Peak of G-level?

Chi Yuan?

These two phrases that were completely incompatible appeared in the System Prompt Sound.

Using Magnetic Field Control to suspend himself in midair, Lu Zixun stabilized his figure and immediately deployed his Spiritual Power Shield.

The next moment, green mist enveloped Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Power Shield, corroding the shield while also drawing spiritual energy to strengthen itself.

Lu Zixun recognized it at a glance—this was a derivative ability of the Plague God, an unknown energy...

In that instant, Lu Zixun understood the reason behind the Chi Family’s extermination and why Crimson Land insisted on erasing the evidence.

But...

Lu Zixun’s eyes flickered with a murderous light, and he unsheathed the Night Evil Sword, which rang out with a "clang," its unrivaled sharpness filling the air.

So you think you’re impressive just because you’re a G-level Spiritual Ability User?

Daring to make a move against him in the Insect Slaying Zone, Lu Zixun sneered coldly.

He channelled spiritual energy into the Night Evil Sword, flipped over to dodge the green flames from Chi Yuan’s hands, and swung his sword.

"Bang!"

The Sword Qi hit Chi Yuan’s green Shield hard, and the next moment, the Shield let out a crisp "crack."

Innumerable cracks appeared on the shield, and just as it seemed about to shatter, Chi Yuan’s figure flashed and disappeared in front of Lu Zixun.

Sensing the remnants of Void Power where Chi Yuan had been standing, Lu Zixun’s gaze grew dark and inscrutable. Was this the ability of the Plague Worm?

The Law Enforcement Team, which arrived belatedly, watched the damage caused by the fight between Lu Zixun and Chi Yuan and couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

In their hearts, however, they wailed continuously—why did you Great Masters have to fight in the city?

With tearful eyes, the captain of the Law Enforcement Team, Han Jue, hid his sorrow and approached Lu Zixun to apologize, also asking who the attacker was.

"You don’t know whose energy this is?"

Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow and, sensing the energies that had begun to emerge around him, inquired.

Hm?

Han Jue found Lu Zixun’s question odd, but he sensed it nonetheless, discerning that the energy was very strange.

After searching through the archives in his mind, Han Jue helplessly shook his head, "I don’t know, but it feels a lot like the energies found within the twisted realms."

Even an enforcer of Order couldn’t perceive the Plague Energy hidden under the cover of the Void...

Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes—no wonder Crimson Land was so confident, not fearing discovery by Order.

"The attacker was dressed in black, face unseen, a Believer of the Plague God."

After sharing this information with Han Jue, Lu Zixun stepped onto the Night Evil Sword and quickly returned to Demon Country; he needed to urgently clarify some matters.

Looking at the wrecked area and Lu Zixun, who was leaving leisurely, Han Jue’s face showed a look of resignation. Fixing this mess would be yet another major problem.

But these were not the difficult issues to solve.

The real problem was that a Believer of the Plague God had dared to attack a Spiritual Ability User within the sphere of Order’s influence.

This was not just a safety issue; it was a provocation against Order!

"Captain, what do we do now?"

Turning his head to look at his subordinate who had spoken, Han Jue thought for a moment and said, "You go check the area first, see if there’s any dangerous energy left behind. After that, report for repairs. I’ll make a trip to headquarters."

Having returned to Demon Country, Lu Zixun pulled up the video footage captured by Ling.

In the video, Chi Yuan seemed to suddenly appear in that place and then raised his hand to launch an attack on Lu Zixun.

And the black coat covered Chi Yuan’s entire figure, making him unrecognizable even to acquaintances.

"This just got interesting."

The meticulous execution, a familiar modus operandi.

Lu Zixun’s eyes flashed with rage and fury—I just wanted to be a salted fish, but each and every one of you freaking won’t let me!

Fine, Lu Zixun had laid his cards on the table—here comes the ultimate table-flipper!
