CHAPTER 677: CHAPTER 676 I ALWAYS REFUSED BUT THEIR OFFER WAS TOO HIGH

"Don’t leave, don’t leave, it’s so annoying."

Zeng Haoyang, who suddenly sat up from the sofa, reached out and grabbed Lu Zixun’s tail.

"What the heck!"

Lu Zixun, who quickly pulled his tail away, glared at Zeng Haoyang.

Just when he was thinking about how to solve the problem, he found that Zeng Haoyang had calmly gone to sleep.

Knowing Zeng Haoyang’s personality, Lu Zixun was certain that the old man had a solution but hadn’t shared it with him.

Which meant Zeng Haoyang had seen his worried state.

Yet Zeng Haoyang hadn’t said anything and just quietly watched, which infuriated Lu Zixun.

Taking a deep breath, Zeng Haoyang rubbed his sore eyes and said, "Although the Order’s extraordinary powers are insufficient, can’t they seek external help? Can’t they borrow it through some kind of Sealed Item?"

After the retort, Zeng Haoyang saw the realization in Lu Zixun’s eyes, stood up, grabbed the back of Lu Zixun’s neck, and with a forceful toss, threw him out of the office.

Following that was the sound of the door being forcefully shut.

Lu Zixun, who landed perfectly after flipping in the air, pouted. Apparently, it was your own scheming self not telling me and then having the nerve to get angry first.

However, after figuring out the solution, Lu Zixun didn’t disturb Zeng Haoyang’s sleep anymore.

When he returned to Demon Country, Lu Zixun pondered all along the way and finally spotted something amiss.

If there’s a shortage of extraordinary power, indeed, increasing that power could solve the problem.

Then the question arose, how and from whom should this extraordinary power be borrowed?

Thinking about Zeng Haoyang, who had come up with this solution overnight, Lu Zixun felt it wasn’t entirely reliable, but he still hesitated to call Zeng Haoyang.

"My head hurts."

Raising his paw and holding his head, Lu Zixun cried out.

Seconds later, the communicator beeped. After seeing the caller’s name, Lu Zixun’s expression instantly turned serious, and he asked in a flat tone, "What is it?"

Yang Tao, who was responsible for contacting Lu Zixun, heard the voice from the communicator and became extremely tense, carefully saying, "Lord Xun, I am a combat personnel from the Order, and regarding the recent Peeling Eucalyptus Disease in human society, we would like to request Lord Xun’s help."

Lu Zixun hadn’t expected the Order to contact him. He raised an eyebrow and after a moment’s thought said, "I might not be of much help with this matter, I suggest you try Crimson."

Hearing Lu Zixun’s tone suggesting that he was about to hang up, Yang Tao quickly said more urgently, "We’ve already found a solution to the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease, but we need Lord Xun’s protection to prevent an attack by the Plague Believers, and of course, this protection wouldn’t be for free."

Listening to Yang Tao, Lu Zixun’s face showed a quirky expression. The Order had already found a solution?

He was so skeptical.

But even so, Lu Zixun flatly refused.

With that time, it would be better to go find the said Sealed Item that could lend extraordinary powers. Could sticking around with the Order, just waiting it out, really solve the disease?

"Okay, see you in human society."

Lu Zixun, after hanging up the phone, stared out the window silently.

He had indeed refused, but the reward offered by the Order was too generous—it was an E-level Spiritual Ability Trait.

"Bishop, Lord Xun has agreed."

Yang Tao, who was reporting to Qing Yuanyang, looked completely disheartened.

He had thought that an F-level Spiritual Ability Traits material would be enough, but unexpectedly, Lu Zixun did not care at all.

Had it not been for the last-minute offer of an E-level Spiritual Ability Traits material, Yang Tao could guarantee that Lu Zixun would certainly have hung up the communicator.

Upon hearing about the cost of an E-level Spiritual Ability Traits material, a pained expression flickered across Qing Yuanyang’s face.

However, exchanging one material for Lu Zixun’s formidable combat abilities still seemed worthwhile to Qing Yuanyang.

Yet, there was some regret in his heart; he and Lu Zixun could have become friends, but why was their relationship now reduced to merely transactions?

Thinking so, Qing Yuanyang could only silently sigh in his heart and then patted Yang Tao on the shoulder, "Well done, prepare to set out."

"Yes!"

After responding, Yang Tao hurried out of the room and began organizing the Order Personnel to depart.

After learning that the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease would not infect Spiritual Ability Users, Lu Zixun felt a bit more at ease.

He instructed Ge Changming to keep an eye on the movements of the Plague Believers and then sensed the Spiritual Energy Silk attached to Lin Beisheng.

After detecting nothing unusual, Lu Zixun then set out for the place agreed with the Order.

At the border between the Crimson Land and human society, Lu Zixun could see Qing Yuanyang, dressed in a Combat Uniform, standing at the forefront of the team.

Landing in front of Qing Yuanyang, Zixun transformed into a human form and asked indifferently, "The person who contacted me earlier mentioned that there is a solution for the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease. What is the solution?"

Qing Yuanyang, unexpectedly hearing this from Yang Tao, twitched at the corner of his mouth and stealthily glared at Yang Tao before calmly stating, "To say there’s a solution might be too premature; it’s more accurate to say we have some leads."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded without saying anything.

This style of not asking too much, which Qing Yuanyang was prepared to deal with, made him somewhat uncomfortable now.

But in this situation, Qing Yuanyang couldn’t just approach Lu Zixun and say his prepared words; he had to swallow them back.

"From now on, we’ll rely heavily on Lord Xun. These kids are on such a risky mission for the first time; please protect them."

As a shrewd person, Yang Tao undoubtedly saw Qing Yuanyang glaring at him.

However, not knowing where he went wrong, Yang Tao quietly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.

Looking at the Order Personnel, whose average strength was between J-level and J-level, Lu Zixun inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility as a senior.

Turning his head and nodding at Yang Tao, Lu Zixun indicated with his actions that he understood.

Qing Yuanyang, who appeared to be contemplating their route, was observing Lu Zixun with his peripheral vision.

Seeing Lu Zixun nod, Qing Yuanyang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, his eyes were filled with confidence, "Let’s set out."

The Spiritual Ability Users from the Crimson Land entered Chuanyun City.

This was the place closest to the Crimson Land and also where the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease was most widespread.

Now, the entire area had been quarantined by STO, and the people walking in the streets all looked lifeless; this city... was dead.

Surveying the city, Lu Zixun saw a rainbow tree on the street, which piqued his curiosity and, finding it quite appealing, he walked over.

"Be careful!"

A sharp cry came from behind Lu Zixun.
