Chapter 626: Chapter 625: Spiders’ Traces – Waging War

Lu Zixun, his face sullen, pulled up the timing of Chi Yuan’s disappearance.

After comparing with various events, it was found that the time of Chi Yuan’s disappearance coincided with the moment “Redemption” logged onto the Night Language Forum.

That is to say, it was at this time that Chi Yuan became a believer of the Plague God.

Having realized this, Lu Zixun continued flipping through the materials; he wanted to find out what exactly the Chi Family had done during the time Chi Yuan disappeared.

It was uncertain whether the Chi Family knew that Chi Yuan had become a believer, or, to put it another way, if they were being blackmailed with this information by Crimson.

Surprisingly, the Chi Family did nothing at all until they were wiped out.

“F*cking hell.”

Lu Zixun’s eyebrows arched as the trail went cold once more, but this did not displease him.

On the contrary, it led Lu Zixun to sense that there was a problem.

Since there was nothing to be discerned from the Chi Family’s actions, Lu Zixun simply sought out the life story of Chi Zuwang.

As he read, Lu Zixun was surprised to find that this Chi Zuwang was no ordinary character; in the earlier half of his life, he was akin to a hero, but in middle age, he turned from a hero into a bear.

A bear who doted on his son and couldn’t discern right from wrong.

From these comments alone, it was clear how much Chi Zuwang cherished Chi Yuan, but as Lu Zixun became more certain of this through the documents, his heart felt unusually heavy.

Chi Zuwang’s beloved son actually became a believer of the Plague God and led the extermination of his own family; was this excessive indulgence, or was Chi Yuan an ingrate?

It was hard to say.

Closing the documents chronicling Chi Zuwang’s life, Lu Zixun’s eyes gradually turned profound.

With Chi Yuan’s disappearance, Chi Zuwang would definitely revert to his former heroic self, meaning not even Crimson’s threats would work. Therefore, it was certain that Chi Zuwang knew about Chi Yuan becoming a believer.

Truly… tragic.

Shaking his head, Lu Zixun’s fingers unconsciously tapped the desk as his mind contemplated how to rip apart the persona Crimson had deliberately constructed.

Since these people didn’t want him to be a layabout, Lu Zixun might as well go along with them and become a big shot.

“Got it.”

Rubbing his sore waist from all the thinking, Lu Zixun called over Ge Changming.

“Brother Xun?”

Ge Changming, who was working as a supervisor on the construction site, wearing a little yellow safety helmet, walked in.

The sight of the helmet on Ge Changming’s head gave Lu Zixun an oddly uncomfortable feeling, but at least it wasn’t green…

“Why are you wearing that helmet when you’ve already been promoted to J-level?”

Lu Zixun, feeling quite speechless, couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark.

“It looks nice!”

“What’s nice about this helmet?”

“Well… Brother Xun, don’t you think it’s an art form? It helps blend in with the atmosphere on the construction site…”

After a long-winded explanation, if Lu Zixun hadn’t waved his hand to interrupt, who knows how much longer Ge Changming would have continued.

Lu Zixun, with no appreciation for this kind of art, quickly changed the subject: “Recently I asked you to keep watch over Crimson, did you take that to the construction site?”

“Supervising the construction site was just to experience the art, I’ve still been monitoring Crimson.”

At this point, a proud expression appeared on Ge Changming’s face: “Our Chang Ge Clan can handle multitasking without any issues. Just the other day, a clan member informed me that Crimson brought a young girl to Zone 20, not sure what for. Also, about Demon Country lately…”

“Hold on.”

Upon hearing his younger daughter, Lu Zixun’s ears twitched, “Which day are you talking about, exactly?”

“What day?”

Caught off guard by the interruption, Ge Changming was a bit out of step with Lu Zixun’s train of thought.

“I mean, when you mentioned that your clanspeople told you Crimson took a little girl…”

Upon realizing that Ge Changming wasn’t feigning ignorance, Lu Zixun rolled his eyes and repeated himself.

“Oh, oh, oh, just… umm… let me ask.”

Watching Ge Changming pull out his cell phone to confirm the timing of this information, Lu Zixun’s mouth twitched slightly. Was this the cost of Three-in-One?

After a moment, Ge Changming put away his phone, “Brother Xun, I’ve confirmed it, it was yesterday!”

Yesterday…

Lu Zixun’s right hand clenched into a fist, resting at his mouth.

The timing was quite curious, coinciding with the annihilation of the Chi Family. Could this little girl be Chi Yan?

And being taken to Zone 20, does that mean they intend to take this girl to the location of the connection point?

“Brother Xun? Brother Xun?”

Snapped out of his thoughts by Ge Changming’s call, Lu Zixun looked up, “What is it?”

“Is there an issue with this little girl?”

“I’m not certain, but we could investigate further to see where this girl ultimately was taken.”

“Alright, I’ll ask right now.”

If this girl really is Chi Yan, then by rescuing her, all the effort Crimson put into their facade would collapse.

Now Lu Zixun pondered a question, if this girl was at the connection point, would they inevitably need Liao Fan’s help, and is it worth it?

After a while, Lu Zixun leaned back in realization.

Damn it, what’s worth it or not? Demon Country isn’t going to let anyone rest easy if they’re attacked, or do they seem that easy to bully?

Yet, after taking all these actions, Lu Zixun felt his I-Level pinnacle strength and took a deep breath. He still needed to enhance his power.

Previously, if Chi Yuan hadn’t used the Plague Worm’s power to escape, but had instead come up behind him…

Although Lu Zixun wouldn’t have died, he surmised he would have had a rough time.

“Brother Xun, I found out. The last sighting of these people was in a valley, but after they emerged, it turned into a plain.”

With a puzzled look on his face, Ge Changming boldly conjectured, “Could this also be an ancient ruin? How else could they have done this?”

Lu Zixun hadn’t shared the matter involving Liao Fan with Ge Changming, only he and Shadow knew.

Ge Changming managed to deduce the presence of a ruin based on this information; it seems they were all growing.

Doesn’t anyone want to be a salted fish…

Lu Zixun, sensing the growth of the members of Demon Country, felt somewhat hurt.

“It’s likely a ruin. Keep a close eye on that area. It’s time for Crimson to witness the power of Demon Country.”

With a calm expression, Lu Zixun prepared for war.

Ge Changming, understanding Lu Zixun’s intentions, began to tremble uncontrollably.

It wasn’t out of fear, but excitement. Their Demon Country was never weaker than Crimson, only lacking in high-end power.

Although Ge Changming wanted to wage this war, thinking about the shortage of high-end power, just as he was about to speak, Spiritual Energy surged around Lord Xun.

In the next second, Lu Zixun broke through the I-Level and successfully advanced to G-Level.
