Looking at Lu Zixun’s cute appearance at the moment, Chen Luoyang really couldn’t associate him with the previously chilling presence.
Retracting his Spiritual Energy back into his body, the bone-chilling aura disappeared, and the Hidden Guard broke free from the ice sculpture, glaring at Lu Zixun with murderous intent.
Just as he was about to make a move, he was stopped by Chen Luoyang.
"The Compass was meant for you from the start, do you believe that?"
After pondering for a moment, Chen Luoyang stared frankly at Lu Zixun.
"Talking is meaningless, let’s get straight to the point."
Having realized that Chen Luoyang was nothing more than a sanctimonious hypocrite, Lu Zixun didn’t bother to mince words with him and got straight to the point.
With a helpless smile, Chen Luoyang spoke, "The people from Zhenfei this time are not of simple status. As long as it’s revealed that it was the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon who killed them, then Zhenfei would obviously not target the Ancient God Sect, giving us a slim chance to cling onto life."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow,
placing his front foot on the ground, his gaze was unfriendly as he stared at Chen Luoyang: "So, if I leave now, would it still be in time?"
"The risk is indeed great, but I promise you, as long as I am able to enter the Crimson Land in the future, I will find you the Pure Water."
Pausing for a moment, Chen Luoyang looked meaningfully at Lu Zixun: "After all, according to my investigation, your girlfriend is the inheritor from Jade Emperor Mountain."
"You investigated me?"
The previously amiable Lu Zixun, now flashed a dangerous light in his eyes.
Waving his hands repeatedly, Chen Luoyang pursed his lips: "We cannot afford to offend Zhenfei, cannot afford to provoke the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon, and naturally, Jade Emperor Mountain as well. We can only seek a balance that will allow the Ancient God Sect to survive."
Lu Zixun, who had not sensed any other presence when by Lin Siyin’s side, finally looked somewhat better, but he just stared at Chen Luoyang without uttering a word.
Chen Luoyang, feeling a bit of internal trembling under Lu Zixun’s gaze, quickly began to speak: "Since you’re unwilling to show up, just let them die on the road. After all, many times, the locations where the Insect Clan appear can be quite deceitful."
It seemed like a pretty good idea, but Lu Zixun scoffed coldly.
Shaking his head, "Chen Luoyang, your scheming is quite clever. If they die on the road because of the Insect Clan, then wouldn’t this pot be left for sto to carry? Moreover, you can’t fake the aura of Blood Energy."
Wagging his index finger, a sharp gleam flashed in Chen Luoyang’s eyes: "Isn’t Lingchuan City searching for the Insect Clan? As for the Blood Energy Aura, I have found someone...who can help us achieve our goal."
The Blood Energy Aura suddenly appeared in the hotel.
Lu Zixun, who reacted swiftly, immediately hurled his Frost Fire Spear.
"We just met yesterday, how come you are so irritable today, Lord Cat."
Dodging the Frost Fire Spear with the blood mist, Ye Xun came out of the shadows with a smile on his face.
Narrowing his eyes at Ye Xun, Lu Zixun was inwardly surprised.
He hadn’t expected Chen Luoyang to actually cooperate with the Insect Clan; this was truly an unexpected development.
With a light hum, Ye Xun sat down beside, crossing his legs: "I didn’t expect it to be me either, but it was Sect Master Chen’s intelligence network that’s not bad, being able to find our base. To avoid being discovered by sto, I had to come and lend a helping hand."
Changing his tone, Ye Xun crossed his arms and looked at Lu Zixun: "So now, do you want to join me in killing the people from Zhenfei, or do you want to fight me?"
With a dark and inscrutable light flickering in his eyes, Lu Zixun looked at Ye Xun without saying a word.
But the Spiritual Energy around his body was growing denser, Chen Luoyang really played a good game.
"I hope Lord Cat can calm down a bit; we’re not enemies, right?"
Seeing that Lu Zixun was truly about to strike, Ye Xun suddenly stood up and backed away a few steps with a sheepish smile.
"We have a common enemy in Zhenfei, and by that token, we are friends. Moreover, it can also help you with Sha Fei and further grasp the situation, why not do it?"
Lu Zixun, after weighing for a moment, eventually decided not to take action.
The four from Zhenfei must die; this was personally stated by Zeng Haoyang.
Lu Zixun was here precisely for what Chen Luoyang possessed, and indeed, there was no need to fight Ye Xun.
"That’s more like it."
Nodding slightly, Ye Xun glanced at the time and shrugged: "If Lord Cat doesn’t want to attack me, we should head to the ambush spot now."
After giving Chen Luoyang a deep look, Lu Zixun ran out of the hotel without a word.
"Sect Master Chen, I hope you can fulfill our agreement as soon as possible because..."
Pausing for a moment, Ye Xun’s figure vanished into the blood mist: "Our Lord is waiting."
Seeing that both the Insect and the Cat had left the hotel, Chen Luoyang, who had barely kept a smile on his face before, now slowly leaned back in his chair, sighing with exhaustion.
To preserve the Ancient God Sect, he had managed to offend both humans and monsters.
In hindsight, he would have been better off cooperating sincerely with Lu Zixun from the start, maybe then these problems would not have occurred.
Inside the Crimson Land, three people stood on top of the Teleportation Array.
"Brother Guan, we have a lead on the person the Ouyang Family asked us to find, right in Lingchuan City."
The man called Brother Guan, upon hearing this, his eyes glinted with thoughtfulness: "Once we take care of the Ancient God Sect, we will go and bring that person back."
The young man left, his aura clearly of the S-rank.
"What exactly was your purpose in lurking around Yue Sichen?"
While waiting for the four from Zhenfei with Ye Xun, Lu Zixun looked at Ye Xun and asked.
"Protection, what else could it be?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Ye Xun shook his head: "You’re allowing the Human Clan...oh, you’re not part of the Human Clan, I forgot."
He laughed to mask his awkwardness and continued: "We take these emotions even more seriously than humans. I noticed there was something off about you from the very beginning, just that Sister Yue repeatedly ordered not to attack you."
"You noticed from the beginning?"
Recalling his time with Yue Sichen, Lu Zixun thought there had been no exposure.
"Certainly, just as you can sense the Blood Energy of the Insect Clan, we too can sense your Spiritual Energy."
With his hands behind his head, Ye Xun spoke thoughtfully: "I just didn’t expect that in the end, you would actually save Sister Yue’s life. Life is truly unpredictable."
Just as Lu Zixun was about to say more, a streak of Blood Energy passed through.
With a grave expression, Ye Xun rose to his feet and looked ahead to the road less than three hundred meters away: "They are coming."
