Chapter 636: Chapter 635: Activate the Connection Point

After being persuaded by Zeng Haoyang, Lu Zixun slowly exhaled a breath.

The most basic condition, huh…

Lu Zixun turned his head to look at the night view outside the window, remaining silent for a long time.

After utilizing the direction of public opinion this time, the resolute Crimson cleared all the dissenting voices.

On the surface, the Crimson Land appeared to be more tranquil and harmonious.

No matter what Crimson had done before, it was all in the past.

All superficial stains had disappeared, but it was unknown if the stains in the heart would also vanish.

“This time, Crimson’s actions were definitely not impulsive, but premeditated,” Lu Zixun declared.

With shame on his face, Ge Changming lowered his head before Lu Zixun, “I was blinded by the smoke bombs that Crimson threw out, thinking that the Demon Country’s strength was the reason for our smooth success. I didn’t expect that all of it was within Crimson’s arrangements.”

Ge Changming should have realized something was amiss as soon as he discovered the entrances and exits of the 07 base.

Instead of noticing, he thought that Crimson was too lax in security, making his first mistake from that moment: underestimating the enemy.

Thinking of how Lu Zixun had almost died at the 07 base, Ge Changming pursed his lips, “Brother Xun, punish me.”

“What good would punishing you do?”

Lu Zixun shook his head and comforted Ge Changming, “You shouldn’t belittle yourself. Learn from this lesson. I also made a mistake; we should not have underestimated Crimson.”

In this world, no one is absolutely intelligent,

and the fearless Crimson, who dares to scheme against the tiger, is even more complicated. This time underestimating Crimson has strengthened them internally, and that’s the price that must be paid.

The Demon Country could endure this cost, but it shouldn’t have to.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun patted Ge Changming’s shoulder, “The situation to come will be even more treacherous, we cannot make the same mistake again.”

“I understand.”

Ge Changming nodded, his eyes filled with sincere determination.

After sending Ge Changming off, Lu Zixun stared blankly at the ceiling, a distant look in his eyes,

Originally hoping to use this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on Crimson, he had not expected that the plan would fail and instead give Crimson an excellent chance to clear their name.

The current scale of Crimson had diminished, making them even harder to target,

But the good news was that Liao Fan, who had been severely injured by Geng Xiyuan, wasn’t suspected by Crimson, and even took on a more important position.

When Shadow conveyed this message, Lu Zixun felt much relieved.

It was only when his gaze moved away from Crimson that Lu Zixun noticed many abnormalities,

Previously, his entire focus was drawn to Crimson, and Lu Zixun hadn’t considered why Chi Yuan would attack him at that particular moment.

Looking back, it was all arranged by Crimson, meant to provoke Lu Zixun.

No wonder he felt that the way Lu Xinran disappeared was so familiar, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes.

The closeness between Limorex and Crimson collaborating exceeded Lu Zixun’s imagination; their worship of different divine beings, yet to achieve this level of consensus, meant they had a common goal.

Thinking about it, Lu Zixun furrowed his brows involuntarily, wondering what it was all for.

…

“High Priest, the Underground Kingdom has been completed, and in these last few days, we’ve received a batch of resources from Crimson Land. Even ‘Order’ wouldn’t easily be able to break into the Underground Palace.”

Listening to his subordinate’s report, Limorex nodded calmly, “How is the task I assigned coming along?”

“Master, I deliberately appeared in the Insect Slaying Zone and attacked Lu Zixun before leaving. Now, Crimson Land has finished their arrangements.”

With a chilling light in her eyes, Chi Yuan Youyou said, “Now, it’s time to help the Insect Breeding Ground.”

Slowly standing up, Limorex paced the room twice, “The Bloodthirsty Emperor doesn’t need help. The self-important emperor prefers crushing invasions. Such groveling tactics are beneath his notice.”

Shaking his head, Limorex’s gaze fixed on the brightly lit Underground Kingdom, “Chi Yuan, go now and gather the Believers, find Tan Ye’s whereabouts. Leave Lu Zixun be for now; he won’t be meddling in these matters anytime soon.”

“Yes.”

After replying, doubt flickered in Chi Yuan’s eyes, and she couldn’t help asking, “Master, why won’t Lu Zixun be meddling recently?”

“Although he is only from the Demon Clan, in essence, he still gravitates towards humans. But…”

With a cold sneer, Limorex scoffed, “Humans don’t see it that way. On the contrary, they do things that even the Demon Clan wouldn’t stoop to. Do you think Lu Zixun would carelessly meddle in human affairs at this time?”

Chi Yuan nodded, half-understanding, took two steps back, and disappeared into the shadows.

In the room, alone, Limorex reflected for a moment.

Taking out a crystal ball from beneath his black robe, his eyes gradually deepened, “I hope the Four-layer World will bring me a surprise; otherwise, the Moon Watcher will be coming soon.”

…

A week later.

The Four-layer World had already started to stir. Having received the message from Liao Fan that Crimson Land would activate the connection point tonight, Lu Zixun weighed his options for a moment and decided to take a look.

In this week, aside from occasionally visiting Lin Siyin, Lu Zixun spent the rest of his time on enhancing his power, paying no attention to what was happening in Crimson Land.

The Four-layer World had been packaged by Crimson Land as allies from another world.

Under the relentless assaults from the Insect Breeding Ground, the word ‘ally’ undoubtedly served as a powerful stimulant for the Spiritual Ability Users.

The Spiritual Ability Users of Crimson Land were eagerly anticipating the arrival from the Four-layer World.

However, Lu Zixun, who took a brief look at the Night Language Forum, wore an ironic smile. The Four-layer World didn’t have many humans, and those who were there were merely the repulsive Deep Divers.

Crimson Land presented these Deep Divers as allies? He wondered how they planned to wrap this up.

Lu Zixun could have blown the whistle on this, but learning from past experiences,

He decided to wait. Taking the initiative was good, but should that mindset be exploited again, Lu Zixun suspected he might have a breakdown on the spot.

He arrived at Base 07 unnoticed; in just one short week, the base had undergone drastic changes.

The most obvious change was the clearing of buildings in front of the hook.

Past the hook stood towering city walls, much like the Insect Slaying Zone.

Near the hook surrounded by Crimson members, Lu Zixun saw Yang Guohong, whom he hadn’t seen for a long while.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Lu Zixun felt that Yang Guohong seemed much younger than when they first met.

His power also gave Lu Zixun an unfathomable impression.
