Chapter 682: Chapter 681: It Seems I Really Can Solve It

By the time Lu Zixun notified Ge Changming and contacted Shadow to head to Chuanyun City, he had already been deliberately stalling for time.

On one hand, he was waiting for Qing Yuanyang to recover his extraordinary power, and on the other hand, he was waiting for Shadow to arrive.

After all, having a backup plan was the safest approach.

Should Chi Yuan’s murderous intent flare up, Lu Zixun could withstand it, but the ordinary people could not.

And before Lu Zixun could finish speaking, a knife flashing with a bewitching purple light appeared behind Chi Yuan.

Feeling the crisis, Chi Yuan wanted to move but found his shadow bound.

Lu Zixun also acted quickly, his Spiritual Energy surged out to protect the hostages, and he reinforced the control chain.

“Crackle!”

The knife shimmering with purple light plunged viciously into Chi Yuan’s neck, and as Shadow yanked his arm harshly, blood gushed from Chi Yuan’s neck like a fountain.

“Die!”

Seeing Chi Yuan’s body trembling uncontrollably, knowing that he was about to break free from the shadow binding technique, Lu Zixun summoned the Night Evil Sword and pierced Chi Yuan’s heart.

“Ding—Killing a G-level Spiritual Ability User, reward: Extraordinary Particles +50000.”

Hearing the System Prompt Sound, Lu Zixun slowly let out a breath of relief.

Fortunately, Shadow had broken through to I-Level during this period, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to kill Chi Yuan.

Chi Yuan’s arrogance and complacency had cost him his life.

“Lord Xun.”

Shadow emerged from the Shadow World and respectfully called Lu Zixun.

“?”

Hearing this address, Qing Yuanyang looked at Shadow in surprise, realizing that this person was Lu Zixun’s subordinate. So, all this had been arranged by Lu Zixun.

Plan first then act…

A shiver of fear went through Qing Yuanyang as he silently sighed in his heart.

No wonder the unruly Demon Ability Users from Demon Country were willing to accept Lu Zixun as their Demon King. It seemed there was a reason for that.

“Good work.”

Patting Shadow on the shoulder, Lu Zixun said with a smile, “Take the body back and search his storage talisman thoroughly; there might be a pleasant surprise inside.”

“Yes.”

After nodding, Shadow hesitated for a moment before saying, “Lord Xun, could you let my apprentice have a look at this exterminator of our clan?”

Hearing the words ‘exterminator of our clan’, Lu Zixun knew who Shadow’s apprentice was.

Right there, Lu Zixun was stunned; Shadow had actually taken on an apprentice?

“Why would you think of taking Chi Yan as an apprentice?”

With a gossip-filled gaze, Lu Zixun nudged Shadow with his elbow, a comically amused smile on his lips. Was he about to witness a Demon Country version of “Léon: The Professional”?

“I…”

Hesitating for a moment, Shadow’s eyes darted away, “Yan… Chi Yan has great potential.”

Ha…

Seeing Shadow’s behavior, Lu Zixun knew there had to be more to the story.

That wasn’t about praising Chi Yan’s potential; it was about lusting after a young girl, you lowlife!

“Go on then.”

Waving his hand, somewhat understanding how Demon Country could remake “Léon: The Professional,” Lu Zixun just shooed Shadow away.

Indeed, a wife needs to be trained from a young age…

Sighing to himself, Lu Zixun’s thoughts began to drift back to the matter at hand.

Limorex had sent Chi Yuan over and told him not to interfere with the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease, which meant that Limorex believed he had the ability to solve the problem.

But where did that judgment come from?

Racking his brains, Lu Zixun couldn’t figure out what capability he might have to resolve the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease.

He immediately felt a pang of frustration; if he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have killed Chi Yuan but instead would have just crippled him.

“Lord Xun, that…”

Under the prompting glance of Qing Yuanyang, Yang Tao internally cursed but approached Lu Zixun with a smile on his face, “You just mentioned that you knew how to solve the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease, could you elaborate on that?”

Coming back to his senses, Lu Zixun turned to look at Yang Tao.

Lu Zixun felt somewhat baffled, “I don’t have a way to solve it; I was just bluffing Chi Yuan just now.”

“Ah?”

Yang Tao, not expecting Lu Zixun to say this, was first stunned and then said with a wry smile, “Lord Xun, I know you were a bit angry just now, but the pressing matter at hand is to deal with the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease. The Order will compensate you later for our mistrust.”

Speechless, Lu Zixun looked at Yang Tao in silence.

His acting had been so convincing that he had even fooled the people from the Order?

It wasn’t that the Order didn’t believe him, but rather Qing Yuanyang didn’t believe him.

The tactics Lu Zixun employed earlier had truly shocked Qing Yuanyang, who felt that Lu Zixun wouldn’t have made such a move for no reason.

After repeatedly questioning him, Qing Yuanyang had no choice but to believe that Lu Zixun truly had no solution.

After all, Lu Zixun was genuinely considering the interests of humanity, otherwise, he wouldn’t have decisively killed Chi Yuan.

As a fellow believer in the Divine, Qing Yuanyang understood that Chi Yuan had already reached the level of a bishop.

To train someone to this level would require a massive amount of resources; if Lu Zixun had captured him alive, Limorex would definitely offer a lot to exchange for Chi Yuan’s life.

After re-examining the patients who had already been treated, Lu Zixun thought for a moment and understood.

The Peeling Eucalyptus Disease indeed had been eradicated by the Order’s extraordinary power.

However, the problem was that once the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease re-entered the body, it would detect the previous invasion and rapidly kill the host before exiting the body.

Lu Zixun didn’t understand the logic behind this.

In any case, it was clear that this method treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

It was laborious, thankless work; even if the Order could treat all patients infected with the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease and dispel the fog carrying the disease in Chuanyun City,

if the fog returned, those who had been treated would die instantly, unless the Order remained here permanently.

“Lord Xun, are you really out of options?”

Qing Yuanyang, who was just as puzzled by the logic, looked at Lu Zixun with a dejected expression.

“There’s no way; this disease cannot be solved by researching a special medicine unless we can prevent the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease from entering the human body… Wait a second?”

Lu Zixun paused there, a contemplative look appearing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Qing Yuanyang didn’t dare to disturb Lu Zixun’s train of thought.

After signaling the surrounding Order Personnel to shut their mouths, Qing Yuanyang looked at Lu Zixun with anticipation, hardly daring to breathe.

After a while, Lu Zixun lifted his head with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, “It turns out I can actually solve this issue. Now that’s very interesting indeed.”

“Lord Xun, have you thought of a solution?”

Hearing the tone of surprise in Lu Zixun’s voice, Qing Yuanyang couldn’t help but beam.

“Mm, can the Order impose rules on objects? For example, a rule that Peeling Eucalyptus Disease cannot enter this area; even a simplified version is fine, as long as it can be imposed on objects.”
