Chapter 646: Chapter 645 Bystanders

An Xiao’s evasive tone was quite palpable, and with narrowed eyes, Lu Zixun said nothing and turned to leave the room.

“Lord Xun, let me lead the investigation in the Snowfield Frost Land.”

Shadow came over again, expressing his request.

Lu Zixun shook his head, “No need, the Demon Country has been too prominent lately, it’s not appropriate to engage in such activities.”

“But…”

That inexplicable sixth sense made Shadow feel very uncomfortable inside.

However, looking up and seeing the determination in Lu Zixun’s eyes, Shadow pressed his lips together and said nothing.

After Shadow had left, Lu Zixun seriously reflected on the recent actions of the Demon Country,

They had all appeared in the Crimson Land like saviors, which led to many members within the Demon Country feeling somewhat inflated with ego, thinking Lu Zixun was omnipotent.

For the unknown existence, one should reserve awe, especially for entities that could injure Yang Guohong.

Naturally, Lu Zixun wanted to know what was inside the Snowfield Frost Land,

But if the information came at the cost of members of the Demon Country’s lives, then Lu Zixun preferred not to have it.

With a silent sigh, Lu Zixun watched the snowflakes slowly falling outside the window, his gaze gradually becoming vacant.

…

“Elder Zeng, should we tell Da Ju about these matters?”

In the office, Xiong Kang, gently stroking the Sword Box behind him, asked Zeng Haoyang.

At that moment, the documents on Zeng Haoyang’s desk recorded the entire process of Yang Guohong’s injury, the movements of the Plague Believers, and the connection intentions of the Five-layered World’s Elf Kingdom.

It could be said that the intelligence Lu Zixun wanted to know was all here.

However, faced with Xiong Kang’s question, Zeng Haoyang slowly shook his head, “The Demon Country needs to rest.”

Hearing this, Xiong Kang nodded, then after a pause spoke again, “Da Ju can’t stay idle, even if we don’t tell him, he will find a way to investigate. He is the true guardian of the Crimson Land.”

“It shouldn’t be his responsibility, and this time, he won’t investigate.”

With certainty, Zeng Haoyang packed up the documents on the desk and turned to look at Xiong Kang, “You should be able to use ‘Sword Five, Shatter the Void’ now, right? Can you find the connection point of the Elf Kingdom?”

“The Abyss is too vast, with the capabilities of Sword Five, this is basically impossible, we need some information from the Elf Kingdom to proceed.”

Pausing, Xiong Kang frowned slightly, “Elder Zeng, are you thinking of connecting the Elf Kingdom here?”

“The connection in the Snowfield Frost Land has disrupted the original balance of the Crimson Land.”

Tapping lightly on the desk with his right hand, Zeng Haoyang’s gaze was deep, “What we need to do is to maintain this balance, the Elf Kingdom must come here, especially since there’s another world existing in the Trial Land.”

…

Lu Zixun, who stopped cultivating only when the sunset turned to darkness, lazily walked out of the Cultivation Room.

This lifestyle had been ongoing for three days,

The boring and tedious cultivation was naturally distasteful, yet Lu Zixun not only did not mind but rather enjoyed this quiet and routine life.

Just as he was about to watch a couple of episodes on TV before sleeping, Lu Zixun heard a knock on the door, and immediately Ge Changming walked in.

“Brother Xun, the Order has sent an invitation, asking representatives from the major forces of the Crimson Land to discuss urgent matters.”

Taking the invitation handed over by Ge Changming, Lu Zixun’s brows inadvertently furrowed,

Was Qing Yuanyang preparing to make people take sides?

Or was there really an unsolvable issue that had arisen?

Having not concerned himself with the affairs of the Crimson Land for three days, Lu Zixun was clearly unable to make an immediate judgement.

Then, he directed his gaze towards Ge Changming, “Who else has the Order invited?”

“All the powerhouses in the Crimson Land whose names could be called out were invited. Brother Xun, should we go?”

“No.”

Eyelids narrowing in thought for a moment, Lu Zixun shook his head as he provided an explanation, “In the coming period, no member of the Demon Country should leave the ruins. We need to solidify our bystander savior persona.”

“Understood.”

With a single acknowledgement, Ge Changming, who always trusted Lu Zixun’s decision-making, said nothing and left the room.

Despite the Demon Country’s prominence over the past few days, the speed of absorbing the Power of Faith had noticeably slowed down.

However, the persona they had created did not fade, but instead, it spread further in the Night Talk Forum.

Lu Zixun, who initially intended to suppress this affair, thought it over and eventually decided against it.

The Demon Country needed the Power of Faith, and maintaining this persona was quite fine.

Only…

Lu Zixun sighed silently; watching TV today was out of the question, and probably even sleeping wouldn’t be possible.

He took out his tablet and began looking into what was happening recently with the Order.

Browsing various news on the Star Network, eventually, one particular news caught Lu Zixun’s attention.

“Monsters from Another World”

“Recently, during a routine tug-of-war in the Insect Slaying Zone, our battlefield reporter, while filming, discovered a creature that greatly resembled a Fish Monster.”

“This type of creature has never appeared before in the Crimson Land; we sent the photos we took to the biological research institute.”

“Researchers indicate that this kind of creature could be a human’s mutated evolutionary form, evolved to adapt to the environment.

“It’s interesting that there is no deep-sea environment within the Crimson Land, so our station has a bold guess, could it be that another unknown world has connected to the Crimson Land?”

After reading this report, Lu Zixun casually glanced at its popularity—it had already garnered fifty-eight million nine hundred twenty thousand views.

No wonder…

Lu Zixun muttered to himself and rubbed his temples.

Compared to Yang Guohong, Lu Zixun was less sensitive to such news.

At a time when it was revealed that the Snowfield Frost Land had already been connected, other than causing panic, Lu Zixun could not think of any other effect.

Even if the Crimson wanted to push forward the Genetic Optimization Formula, they shouldn’t have let this news leak out; instead, they should have suppressed it.

However, putting oneself in another’s shoes, it was understandable why Qing Yuanyang was so anxious to directly invite all the major forces.

After all, with the continuous conflict against the Insect Breeding Ground, the number of their believers was increasing.

But… this was only effective against the Insect Breeding Ground; they no longer had the capacity to deal with another world.

Thinking about this, Lu Zixun tapped his fingers on the table, and after careful consideration, he determined the stance of the Demon Country in this matter.

Bystanders.

The Deep Divers in the Snowfield Frost Land were indeed dangerous, but they were not very difficult to deal with.

At least, that’s what Liao Fan said.

As such, there was absolutely no need for the Demon Country to make an appearance.

One should remember that in the last battle, the power displayed by the Demon Country was already sufficient to intimidate some criminals, like…

The silent Plague.
