CHAPTER 696: CHAPTER 695 CORRODING SANITY

"Hmm?"

A question mark slowly formed on Lu Zixun’s forehead as he looked at Zeng Haoyang, his face filled with confusion.

Qing Yuanyang himself had an issue? What could the issue be?

"To obtain the power of the Divine, one’s principles must align with that of the Divine, and Qing Yuanyang’s excessive desire for power led to the assassination attempt by Wang Linfan."

Having heard Zeng Haoyang’s explanation, Lu Zixun was still completely baffled.

Qing Yuanyang wanting power and Wang Linfan have what connect...

Wait, at this thought, Lu Zixun’s eyebrows tightened.

The term "justice" is inherently defined by humans.

Even if the power of Order sets the rules, the rules are established based on the user’s thoughts, achieving true impartiality is impossible.

And the presence of family might just be where selfishness weighs heaviest.

Could the action that drove Wang Linfan to recklessly attempt assassination be that Qing Yuanyang...

Wanted to kill his sister?

Lu Zixun’s frown deepened even further, feeling that Qing Yuanyang had gone mad.

After sharing his speculation with Zeng Haoyang,

Zeng Haoyang nodded, "Qing Yuanyang indeed wants to kill Qing Ling’er to prove his impartiality, but this will actually prevent him from obtaining the power of the Divine."

"Justice should start with oneself. To kill one’s own sister for the sake of power, is that really just?"

Having said this meaningful statement, Zeng Haoyang looked at Lu Zixun with disdain, "Alright alright, now that you’ve finished gossiping, scram."

"Tsch."

Lu Zixun, having been driven out of the office by Zeng Haoyang, had a face full of displeasure.

He was just keeping the old man company who sat in the office all day and listening to gossip, and he was chased away so heartlessly.

Leaving Area A towards Area B, in a way, Wang Linfan was also Xiong Kang’s brother-in-law.

Now with Xiong Kang absent, if Qing Yuanyang, crazed, kills Wang Linfan and then turns on Qing Ling’er, Lu Zixun didn’t know how he would explain it to Xiong Kang when he returned.

Inside the Order, Qing Yuanyang, who had calmed down, was wrapped in bandages, his face showing desolation and regret.

Wang Linfan, expressionless, sat opposite Qing Yuanyang, his eyes filled with disappointment.

After Qing Yuanyang’s birth, the mother of Qing Ling’er and her brother had passed away.

And the identity of Qing Ling’er’s mother was not the main wife of the Qing Family, so the siblings were not favored by the Qing Family.

That Qing Yuanyang had survived this long was entirely due to Qing Ling’er, who cared for him both as a mother and as a sister, and yet Qing Yuanyang had thought about killing Qing Ling’er for the so-called power.

"You deserve to die."

The unusually calm yet blood-chilling words, when uttered by the always courteous Wang Linfan, swallowed Qing Yuanyang’s heart in pain.

He kept questioning himself why he had such a thought at that time.

"Your sister asked me yesterday what you’ve been busy with, why it has been so long since you visited her."

With a cold laugh, Wang Linfan angrily said, "And you, you were actually planning how to kill your sister. You truly deserve to die."

"No!"

Previously calm, Qing Yuanyang’s heart instantly shattered upon hearing this, he roared loudly, "I didn’t want to kill my sister! I was just...I was just!"

"What is it exactly?"

Before Qing Yuanyang could finish his sentence, Wang Linfan said coldly, "Is it that you wanted to kill Ling’er without me noticing, without anyone noticing?"

"Yes! Exactly!"

A voice filled with malice suddenly surfaced in Qing Yuanyang’s mind.

Cold sweat dripped from Qing Yuanyang’s forehead as he painfully clutched his head and knelt on the ground, continuously muttering, "No... it’s not like that."

Looking at Qing Yuanyang kneeling on the ground, Wang Linfan felt no inclination to help him up.

Now, he was completely disappointed in Wang Linfan.

As Wang Linfan stood up to leave, with his back to Qing Yuanyang, he said calmly, "From now on, you continue being the Order Bishop. Starting today, we clear the boundaries; I will tell your sister you are too busy."

Just as Wang Linfan was stepping forward, a fierce killing intent, carried with strong wind, struck from behind; he couldn’t avoid the energy it carried.

"Really."

Wang Linfan closed his eyes and sighed silently in his heart, "These divine beings really deserve to die."

"Bang!"

The Night Evil Sword flashed behind Wang Linfan, blocking Qing Yuanyang’s attack.

Lu Zixun descended from the sky, arriving in front of Wang Linfan and said cheerfully, "Brother-in-law, it seems I’ve arrived just in time."

At this moment, Qing Yuanyang’s eyes were blood-red, like a wild beast that had lost its sanity.

Gasping heavily, he gazed at the suddenly appeared Lu Zixun and launched an attack.

If Qing Yuanyang could use his extraordinary powers, he might have managed a few moves against Lu Zixun, but when it came to Spiritual Energy, Lu Zixun had never feared anyone.

In the Spiritual Energy Acupoint, a sea of stars twinkled, endless energy manifested beside Lu Zixun.

Like a waterfall, it poured heavily onto Qing Yuanyang’s head.

"Boom!"

Under the crushing energy, Qing Yuanyang was smashed into the ground by Lu Zixun’s power, his bones making a ’crack, crack’ sound from the pressure.

Qing Yuanyang, seemingly without feeling pain, continually tried to get up and launched another attack at Lu Zixun.

Having sensed something was wrong with Qing Yuanyang earlier, Lu Zixun, after suppressing him, turned to look at Wang Linfan and asked, "Brother-in-law, what were you discussing just now? Why does Qing Yuanyang seem like an idiot?"

Wang Linfan frowned as he looked down at Qing Yuanyang, who appeared like a wild beast, and recounted what had just been said.

"Hmm? Sounds like he’s been twisted and corrupted,"

Crouching beside Qing Yuanyang, Lu Zixun observed him with a puzzled face.

After all, aside from the Time Association’s believers, Lu Zixun had never seen other divine believers get twisted or corrupted.

Now, with the mindless behavior displayed by Qing Yuanyang, aside from twisting and corruption, Lu Zixun couldn’t think of any other reason.

But with the protection of extraordinary powers, such a situation shouldn’t arise, could it be that the derivative ability gifted by the Justice Goddess malfunctioned?

Thinking about the potential consequences of this situation, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.

If the Light and Shadow Association discovered this and quietly took over, then the Order would become the perfect organization for the Light and Shadow Association to completely revamp.

While Lu Zixun thought about solutions, he waited for Qing Yuanyang’s Spiritual Energy to deplete.

Once his Spiritual Energy was exhausted, Lu Zixun’s Spiritual Energy Silk surged into Qing Yuanyang’s body to check for any twisting.

When Lu Zixun clearly saw the black mist above the empty space of Qing Yuanyang’s Spiritual Energy Acupoint, his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, this just got completely troublesome.
