CHAPTER 701: CHAPTER 700 GREAT AND ADORABLE PERSON [THANKS TO ’READER 242’ FOR THE REWARD]

Watching Yang Guohong break through the crimson light and enter the battlefield, Lu Zixun fell silent for a moment.

Crimson and Demon Country once had their honeymoon period.

Now, seeing Yang Guohong’s deathly demeanor, Lu Zixun indeed felt somewhat uncomfortable.

A generation of heroes finally comes to an end.

With Yang Guohong’s vision, he couldn’t possibly fail to see through Gu Beihan and Qing Yuanyang’s strategy.

After all, Sha Fei once pushed Zhenfei into a corner.

But why Yang Guohong didn’t stop Lu Xinran, Lu Zixun pondered for a moment and then understood completely.

Lu Xinran wasn’t a chess piece in Yang Guohong’s hands but his personally groomed successor.

Yet, to Lu Zixun, Lu Xinran’s usual behavior seemed like a young eagle protected too well.

Perhaps this was why Yang Guohong coldly observed everything unfold.

He let Lu Xinran face the cruelest end while teaching her one last lesson with his life.

It has to be said, at this moment, Lu Zixun felt a sincere admiration for Yang Guohong.

To go to such lengths, it seemed Yang Guohong’s expectations for Lu Xinran were indeed very high.

Since someone had already come to take over, there was no need for Lu Zixun to stay here any longer.

Just as he was planning to return to Demon Country, his cellphone vibrated rapidly.

"Huh?"

Checking the messages on his phone, Lu Zixun was thoroughly surprised – the person contacting him was Sun Yang.

The senior brother from the school reunion with Lin Siyin.

Lu Zixun had only met him once and exchanged contact details before Sun Yang and his master infiltrated the High-level Farm, trying to rescue those children.

Lu Zixun had planned to visit after the development of Demon Country.

But due to the turn of fate, the victory of the battle directly led the High-level Farm to the Insect Breeding Ground.

He thought Sun Yang was dead for good, so Lu Zixun didn’t expect him to still be alive.

Lu Zixun glanced back at the dimming crimson light, hesitated for a moment, and replied with a message: "Exact location."

Sun Yang, pierced through the abdomen by a bloody spear, looked at the message from Lu Zixun and a smile crept across his blood-stained face.

After sending the exact location with great effort, the phone slipped from Sun Yang’s hand and crashed to the ground.

...

"Ugh."

Arriving outside a hidden cave, Lu Zixun surveyed the area with his Spiritual Energy before entering with a heavy heart.

Looking at Sun Yang lying in a pool of blood, Lu Zixun sighed softly.

Sun Yang’s fatal injury seemed to be the spear in his abdomen, but the truth was an excess of blood loss, with not a single spot on his body left untouched, slashed by sharp blades.

But Sun Yang, before dying, must not have called him over just to handle his body.

After searching the cave, apart from finding a shattered phone, Lu Zixun saw nothing else.

Picking up the phone, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow.

This phone was actually a Spiritual Tool, which could be activated by infusing Spiritual Energy.

After infusing the phone with Spiritual Energy, it floated in the air, and a blue light bursted from its camera, projecting Sun Yang in front of Lu Zixun.

"Who could have imagined that Lord Cat would become the renowned Lord Xun? It’s a shame I can’t return; otherwise, I’d boast about it quite a bit."

The neat and composed Sun Yang smiled gently, "I intended to call you ’Lord Xun,’ but after some thought, ’Lord Cat’ feels more intimate. This is a video I recorded earlier. By the time you’re watching this, I guess I’m probably dead."

Saying this, a look of regret inevitably appeared on Sun Yang’s face, "I thought I could fight against the Insect Clan by myself. But then I realized, their power far surpasses what I had imagined. The three insects defending the High-level Farm all have F-level strength."

"After continuous infiltration and investigation, I’ve left the map of the High-level Farm in a base. During this time, I made contact with Zone 25, asking them to convey some of the outside world’s situation through fairy tales, recorded in books sent into the High-level Farm."

Pausing for a moment, a smile spread across Sun Yang’s face, "I thought it would be futile, but to my surprise, some clever children managed to escape from the High-level Farm and bravely made it to the base I left despite the Insect Clan’s siege."

Sun Yang rambled on about what he had been doing these years.

Lu Zixun listened quietly, his face gradually filling with admiration.

"Unintentionally, I’ve said so much; it’s been so long since I’ve had a proper conversation that I can’t seem to stop now."

Sun Yang laughed at himself, "Lord Cat, if I’m contacting you, it’s definitely because the F-level Insect Clan has discovered me. I’m not asking you to avenge me, but to take those children from the base."

The immobile projection of Sun Yang stepped aside, revealing a map behind him, "As a precaution, I’ve pretended to talk to myself for a long time, otherwise if I’d exposed the base’s location, wouldn’t all these years of effort be wasted?"

"Lord Cat, please take care of this."

After a deep bow, the projected Sun Yang vanished, leaving behind only the map with the base coordinates.

Scanning the map and memorizing it, Lu Zixun activated his Spiritual Energy.

He removed the spear from Sun Yang’s abdomen, healed his wounds, and an ice coffin encased his body.

Looking at the ice coffin, Lu Zixun said calmly, "Senior brother, wait here for me. After I pick up the children, I’ll come back and take you home."

Flying towards the coordinates, the silhouette of the High-level Farm appeared in the corner of Lu Zixun’s eye.

From the sky, one could see six fenced-in areas with houses and grass, where children played.

But on the backs of these children’s necks were strings of black numbers, looking much like tattoos.

This seemingly peaceful and adorable scene took place in an Insect Breeding Ground, invoking a hint of disgust in Lu Zixun’s eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun didn’t look back as he continued to fly.

He needed to find those children in the base. With Sun Yang exposed, the base might also be compromised.

"Brother, I’m so scared."

Li Ming, hiding in the base, trembled as he heard the rustling of insects moving outside.

"Don’t be afraid."

Chi, looking three years older, although also fearful, spoke calmly: "Mr. Sun said he would be back. It’ll be okay when Mr. Sun returns."

"If we’re exposed, this metal door can hold up for at most thirty minutes; we need to prepare for the worst."

Tian’s eyes flickered: "We need a breakout plan."
