Chapter 489: Chapter 488 Sky Pool 03

Seeing the Yang Family and the Zhang Family break apart, the guests at the banquet felt no desire to stay longer and began to leave one after another.

It was not that they found the atmosphere awkward, but they saw it as an opportunity that comes once in a millennium.

The Yang Family had stood firm for many years for good reason,

furthermore, with Yang Guohong still alive, and Lu Zixun’s Demon Country, it was essential to maintain good ties.

As for the Zhang Family…

Without the help of the Yang Family, those covetous clans had already harbored ill intentions and were ready to make their move.

“That’s how it went down, all thanks to little Jie.”

After most people had left the banquet and only Lu Zixun and his entourage remained, the butler brought a few people to the villa.

Yang Runwu then disclosed the whole story.

During her rebellious phase, Yang Youyou had always resisted Yang Runwu’s strict management.

After all, her grandfather was Yang Guohong; who would dare to touch her in Zone 3?

Once, when Yang Runwu was on the battlefield, Yang Youyou, influenced by Zhang Xiaozong, attended a private party.

Spiritual Ability Users have strong spiritual power, and ordinary drugs could never confuse their minds,

but there, Yang Youyou saw a group of hyper-aroused Spiritual Ability Users partying on stage like devils on a frenzy.

This scene, as if demons loomed over her, caused immense discomfort in Yang Youyou’s heart.

Just as she thought to leave, Zhang Xiaozong grabbed her, revealing a syringe in his hand, and sneeringly told her it was good stuff.

What followed was Zhen Zhuoxiu going on a mission and the heroic rescue scenario.

“Did you investigate what was in Zhang Xiaozong’s syringe?”

Gazing at Yang Runwu, with a contemplative look in his eyes, Lu Zixun remarked, “Such a substance that can affect the spiritual power of a Spiritual Ability User… I think I’ve encountered it in human society.”

“We didn’t find anything.”

Shaking his head with a sigh, he said, “Back then, Jie was badly injured, barely clinging to life when he brought Youyou back. I was still on the battlefield.”

“By the time I returned and learned about the incident, wanting to investigate, I found that all traces had been erased, leaving not a single clue.”

Hearing this, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow.

Even if the Yang Family couldn’t find anything at that time, it was intriguing that Yang Runwu, the once famed Martial God, also found nothing.

It appeared that someone had intentionally erased the traces, deliberately making sure Yang Runwu couldn’t find out anything.

Now it seemed that the person was probably Zhang Xiaofeng,

yet Lu Zixun had a vague feeling that there was someone else involved in erasing the traces, not just Zhang Xiaofeng.

However, Lu Zixun was merely curious about this matter and didn’t dwell on it too much.

His gaze fell on Zhen Zhuoxiu, and he smirked twice, “Not bad, Zhuo Xiu, I didn’t expect you to play the hero.”

“Don’t tease me, Lord Xun. I wanted to surprise you, but it almost turned into a shock.”

Zhen Zhuoxiu felt somewhat guilty about the enmity between the Demon Country and the Zhang Family,

after all, being part of the Demon Country and making enemies before the battle for supremacy was undoubtedly a mistake.

“What can you do, right? I can’t just let my people be bullied and not say a word.”

Lu Zixun walked over to Zhen Zhuoxiu, patted his shoulder with a smile, “People from my Demon Country can’t be bullied by others.”

He glanced at Lin Siyin beside him, eyes rolling playfully as he added, “Except by their own girlfriends.”

This twist instantly broke the solemnity of Zhen Zhuoxiu, bringing a suppressed smile to his face.

…

“Lord Xun went on a trip to the Trial Land, and now there’s been no word from him? @All members.”

In the VV group, someone named Pigeon-not-Pigeon asked.

With a pair of sapphire eyes, White Cat said, “Up so early, did Qingqing reject you yesterday?”

Pigeon-not-Pigeon: “Fog Grass, Sister Qing Lan, why do you always have to twist the knife in someone’s heart? Act like a human, thank you.”

The frequent notification bells made Lu Zixun couldn’t help but take a look.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, he couldn’t help but send out a message: “Finally got out of bed, how about you guys carry me for a level up?”

The group, which had been lively, suddenly fell silent as soon as Lu Zixun sent that message.

It wasn’t that they weren’t talking; it was just that Lu Zixun had recently taken a liking to a mobile game called “Pesticide.”

Using the response time of a J-level Spiritual Ability User, he still managed to fluctuate between the Bronze and Silver ranks, which showed how terrible Lu Zixun’s gaming skills truly were.

So over time, unless they could form a five-man team, they generally didn’t play the game with Lu Zixun.

But!

They only knew that Lu Zixun was a drag, but they didn’t know his struggles.

Typing with two cat paws was tiring enough, let alone dealing with that anti-cat game operating system.

In short, the mind was willing, but the paws were weak.

Seeing these guys suddenly stop talking, Lu Zixun curled his lip: “Nothing’s happened in the Demon Country recently, right?”

“No.”

Ge Changming popped out and said, “I thought that before the struggle for power, the Three Prefectures and Zhenfei might do something. But now, it seems they’re being unusually honest. They probably want to wait until during the battle for power, or after it’s over, to make their move.”

Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s brow furrowed.

Thinking of the upcoming struggle for power, and that Tang Tianyu would be leading the team, he thought for a moment and said, “Pay extra attention to this struggle for power, with Old Tang leading. Don’t let him get tricked and killed by Zhenfei and the people from the Three Prefectures.”

“I’m aware of that, Old Tang just told me yesterday there shouldn’t be a problem,” Geng Xiyuan also chimed in.

“That’s good then. Everyone in the Demon Country, get ready for battle. I’ve always felt that this struggle for power won’t be that simple.”

“I’ll be back in a few days, don’t miss me too much.”

“Ding-dong.”

After remotely arranging matters in the Demon Country, Lu Zixun heard the doorbell and sat up.

The Wang Family had sent over a package of Demon Clan relics, and with a flick of his paw, Lu Zixun opened the package and took out a box.

Inside the box lay a doll.

It looked extremely bizarre on the outside—a face cute beyond measure, but the body below the head was like that of a demon.

“Is this thing really a relic from the Demon Clan?”

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Lu Zixun activated the Heavenly Eye to have a look.

“Sky Pool 03, in sealed state.”

The terse description didn’t seem to fit the style of Heavenly Eye at all.

Lu Zixun, brows tightly knitted, thought it over before deciding to keep the item.

It looked too terrifying; he didn’t want to scare Lin Siyin.

Glancing at the system, there were three days left for the upgrade to the Third-level System.

Right now, the top priority was to deal with acquiring the feeling value and Super Energy Particles needed for exchanging for the Extreme Cold Moon Wheel.

Lu Zixun, already getting a headache from the thought, jumped onto the bed and rolled restlessly.

Feeling value was still manageable, but where on earth to get Super Energy Particles?
