Chapter 645: Chapter 644: Worrying

Snowfield Frost Land actually harbors a presence capable of injuring Yang Guohong?

Hearing this news, Lu Zixun’s first reaction was disbelief.

Then, he thought of the Underground Kingdom in the Trial Land, with a contemplative look appearing in his eyes.

He wanted to investigate how Yang Guohong was injured, but it was probably unrealistic—after all, Lu Zixun had always kept the Crimson Society at arm’s length.

After pondering in his room for a while, Lu Zixun decided to look for An Xiao to ask about some situations.

For example, the king of the Deep Divers, and within the Snowfield Frost Land’s Underground Kingdom, other than the Sealed Item, is there truly nothing else?

…

At this time, An Xiao hadn’t woken up yet.

Given this situation, Lu Zixun could only wait until An Xiao woke up to discuss further.

His approach towards Ge Changming differed. After all, no matter what, An Xiao was a guest of Demon Country.

“Lord Xun,” Shadow hesitated, his gaze flickering, “after Yang Guohong returned to District 03, he didn’t come out again. He handed over all matters related to the Crimson Society to Lu Xinran, including command authority.”

Pausing for a moment, Shadow spoke with a hint of opportunity in his eyes, “I think this might be a chance, an opportunity to investigate Snowfield Frost Land.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but frown, his gaze settling on Shadow, “Why would you think so? Although Yang Guohong’s injury might cause the Crimson Society to retract, the injury… could also be a false report.”

Shadow, clearly having considered this, nodded slightly in explanation, “Lord Xun, we know nothing about Snowfield Frost Land. Regardless of whether Yang Guohong is injured, I think we should take the risk and investigate Snowfield Frost Land. I’m worried the Crimson Society has other plans.”

In the realm of sixth sense, when Shadow claimed to be second, only women dared to claim first.

Even though Shadow spoke in such an enigmatic way, Lu Zixun still seriously pondered for a while.

After a long silence, Lu Zixun finally spoke slowly, “Let’s not rush. After An Xiao wakes up, let’s ask about the situation in Snowfield Frost Land, then we’ll make a decision.”

Lu Zixun’s approach was undoubtedly seeking stability.

Shadow, realizing he was a bit too hasty, nodded to show he understood and didn’t say anything more.

If only he weren’t the responsible person for Demon Country right now, he wouldn’t have to be so cautious in his actions.

Lu Zixun silently sighed—this was a mixed blessing indeed.

…

Today, the Crimson Land was graced with the rare sight of the sun.

The warm sunshine falling on Lu Zixun made him feel somewhat drowsy.

Just as Lu Zixun was contemplating whether to take a nap, An Xiao woke up.

“Why are you free today?”

With a slice of toast in his mouth, a cup of milk on his right, and a tablet showing a TV show on the bed, An Xiao gave Lu Zixun a surprised glance upon seeing him come in.

Looking at An Xiao’s standard of living, the corner of Lu Zixun’s mouth twitched.

He materialized a chair with his spiritual energy and sat down, his gaze falling on An Xiao, “I came today to ask some questions regarding the Snowfield Frost Land.”

An Xiao paused the TV show he was watching, quickly finished the toast in his mouth, downed the milk in one gulp, and then said, “The things you want to know, I can probably guess—it’s about the Deep Divers in Snowfield Frost Land. They’re not as simple as you imagine.”

“Not simple?”

Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes and countered, “How complicated can it be, to the point where it could injure Yang Guohong?”

“Yang Guohong was injured?”

With his mouth slightly open, An Xiao wore a look of disbelief.

An Xiao, knowing Yang Guohong’s strength, clearly hadn’t expected him to be injured.

However, hearing what Lu Zixun said, An Xiao understood.

Yang Guohong must have entered Snowfield Frost Land and encountered Deep Divers to sustain his injury, which was interesting.

After searching his memory, An Xiao pursed his lips, “I think I know how Yang Guohong might have been injured—Hedis’s increase in strength, coupled with the disadvantage of underwater combat.”

The name An Xiao mentioned must have been the king of the Deep Divers.

However, the Crimson Society and the Deep Divers were allies.

Even if that previously encountered Deep Diver didn’t seem to show much respect for Yang Guohong, it was no reason for Hedis to attack him.

After all, relying on the Deep Divers’ power, they probably couldn’t detain Yang Guohong.

Lu Zixun, feeling this possibility was slim, shook his head, “The Deep Divers won’t attack Yang Guohong. What else in Snowfield Frost Land could injure an F-level Spiritual Ability User?”

“Not Hedis? That’s strange then.”

Raising his hand to his chin, An Xiao fell silent for a while, “Then it could only be the Beast Giant’s skull. Since they’re only partnered with the Deep Divers, it means that the human Guardians within Snowfield Frost Land must be dead. Although… collaborating with an Alien Race isn’t quite the same as with humans, right?”

Seeing the sarcastic look on An Xiao’s face, Lu Zixun shook his head in disagreement, “Working with humans there’s too much to watch out for, better to ally with an Alien Race—they’re simpler, easier to deceive.”

“Hey, hey.”

An Xiao showed a displeased expression, protesting, “So in your eyes, I’m just someone easy to deceive?”

Unexpectedly, An Xiao managed to turn an unintentional remark towards himself.

A look of helplessness appeared on Lu Zixun’s face—what kind of miraculous train of thought was this?

“That’s not what I meant. Don’t read too much into it.”

Shaking his head, Lu Zixun quickly steered the conversation back, “The Beast Giant’s skull, hasn’t it been sealed? Why can it still display power that could severely injure an F-level Spiritual Ability User?”

“The so-called sealing is just having Spiritual Ability Users take turns guarding it. Truly sealing away that skull isn’t so easily achieved.”

Pausing for a moment, An Xiao looked somewhat troubled, “The information I have for you only involves Hedis and the Beast Giant’s skull, both of which could injure Yang Guohong.”

“But… irrespective of which one you encounter, you’re doomed. There’s a substantial difference in power between F-level and G-level—even though you won’t be utterly crushed, being strung up and beaten is definitely possible.”

Listening to An Xiao’s brutally honest words, Lu Zixun wore an expression full of dark lines.

Look at that! Is this the attitude of a guest?

Not bothered to offer some praise, and even insulting a bit on the side.

But having long passed the point of automatically arguing, Lu Zixun internally complained and then raised his hand to organize his words, “Given the current situation, do you have any strategies in mind?”

“Please, big brother, I’m just a B-level Spiritual Ability User. What kind of strategies could I have?”

Rolling his eyes, An Xiao spoke irritably, “And why are you worried about this anyway? Shouldn’t Order be the most troubled right now? They have to ponder whether Yang Guohong’s injury is a smokescreen.”

“Originally, the Insect Breeding Ground was already a headache for them. Now they have Snowfield Frost Land to deal with as well.”
