Chapter 732: Chapter 722 Wu Liugen

A white cloud drifted across the sky, and at this speed, it would take no more than half an hour to reach Liaozhou City.

However, sitting on a cloud wasn’t as pleasant as one might expect. Wen Wen always felt the seat beneath him was too soft and squishy, as if he might plummet through the clouds if he applied too much pressure.

Moreover, the cloud didn’t block the wind. If it weren’t for Wen Wen using Dark Matter Force to wrap around his body, he probably would have ended up with a belly full of wind.

Wen Wen took the steering wheel he had removed from his sports car and stuck it in front of the cloud, directing Three Cubs to hold onto the steering wheel at the very front.

Although Three Cubs couldn’t actually control the cloud, Wen Wen simply enjoyed watching it "steer" the cloud, so Three Cubs had no choice but to humor him.

The young Three Cubs sighed heavily, wishing only to be an average Three-Eyed Illusion Snake.

But as long as its master refused to act human, it couldn’t behave like a snake.

While Wen Wen and the others were hastening through the skies, it had actually been three days since the epic battle between Wen Wen and Gu Daoqing with the Skin Monster. Xihong City no longer needed Wen Wen’s help.

The container used to collect Power of the Fallen, which came from Profane Blood, wasn’t complicated technology. The craftsmen of the Hunters Association had cracked its code in just one day, and by the next evening, they had produced a large batch.

By the morning of the third day, the containers were spread all over the streets and alleys of Xihong City, freshening the air considerably, and causing the previously excited minor monsters to go into hiding.

It’s worth mentioning that many people associated with Profane Blood, in order to complete their missions, had turned to thievery, stealing the containers set out by the Hunters Association.

However, with Wen Wen’s warning, the Hunters Association had anticipated this and fitted the containers with tracking devices, capturing a considerable number of Profane Blood’s minions.

Nevertheless, these containers could only provide temporary relief and not a cure. As long as those flesh and blood components existed, they could continuously generate the Power of the Fallen and spawn more monsters.

And despite the calm in Xihong City, the lurking crisis hadn’t decreased by even a fraction. Every Demon Hunter knew that the calm before the storm was the most deceptive.

Upon receiving the news, the Association immediately began dispatching Demon Hunters of all levels to Menxia Province. The revival of a Catastrophe Level Powerhouse was too significant for anyone to ignore.

The Vice President of the Capital Association, a slender woman whose face was difficult to discern, led two True-order Masters and nearly twenty Upper Sequence Superpower Users into Menxia Province in succession.

This Vice President, codenamed ’Tianzhu,’ was rumored to be a True Order Psychic with control over thunder and lightning.

She personally oversaw Xihong City, with one of the True-order Masters remaining there while the other watched over Glory Church.

Wen Wen was among those led by the remaining True-order Master, which was why he was headed to Liaozhou City.

This True-order Master had met Wen Wen before, during the tiger-like creature incident in Yueshan City. Since he had a neutral impression of Wen Wen, Wen Wen’s actions were relatively unrestricted and unimpeded.

This scenario gave Wen Wen an excellent opportunity to thoroughly investigate matters related to the Fallen Angel.

The Catastrophe in Xihong City was on the verge of awakening, while next door, in another city, Cicadas had also begun to emerge nearly simultaneously, violently attacking the Creation Church to seize something.

One a shattered Catastrophe, one suspected to be at Catastrophe level, appearing at the same time. Wen Wen didn’t believe this was a coincidence.

During these three days in Xihong City, the frequency of Cicada attacks had increased, with nearly every city in Menxia Province being visited by them.

But not Xihong City!

Not only had the Cicadas refrained from assaulting the churches in Xihong City, even the Glory Church hadn’t taken defensive measures against Xihong City. They had even withdrawn the superpower users from within the city to support other cities in urgent situations.

Furthermore, the only two recorded instances of Cicada appearances in Xihong City were related to the flesh and blood components.

So it was clear to Wen Wen that Glory Church knew the inside story.

The Vice President of Tianzhu had approached Glory Church with a request to share intelligence, but Glory Church claimed to know nothing.

The Hunters Association and Glory Church were at least nominally equal, so the Vice President of Tianzhu couldn’t press the issue and had to send people to gather information from Glory Church.

And Wen Wen set his sights on Yan Xiu.

Although Yan Xiu’s status was not high, he was nonetheless a member of Glory Church, and Wen Wen could probably access the knowledgeable higher-ups of the church through him.

In exchange, Wen Wen could help Yan Xiu fake his death.

It was a rather fair trade.

...

"Chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp..., chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp..."

The grating cicada noises came from somewhere unknown, as Father Wu Liugen stuffed some cotton in his ears and continued to skim through the Creation God’s Quotations while lying on the church’s long bench.

Yan Xiu, sitting beside Wu Liugen, was extremely irritated by the cicada noises, which had started an hour before, but the cicada itself never entered, as if wary of something.

Seeing Father Wu Liugen so relaxed made Yan Xiu feel uneasy.

Yan Xiu had graduated from the Supernatural Theological Academy of Glory Church, and Wu Liugen was his classmate and even his roommate, making him one of the few people Yan Xiu could trust within Glory Church.

Yan Xiu had been a notable figure in the academy, not an understatement to call him a campus crush, while Wu Liugen was hardly noticeable, at most could be considered a campus moss.

But Yan Xiu knew that Wu Liugen had always kept a low profile, perhaps even being the strongest among their graduating class.

The evidence was that Yan Xiu had challenged Wu Liugen nearly a hundred times in four years and had never won once.

In fact, he never once forced Wu Liugen to use both hands!

However, few in Glory Church knew the extent of Wu Liugen’s abilities, which is why he was assigned to guard this small church with hardly any followers.

This was good for Yan Xiu, as with only Wu Liugen present, he did not have to worry about attracting the attention of the Purifying Angel and causing trouble due to a crowd.

Yan Xiu had already purchased at the containment store a flesh Puppet that was a one-to-one replica of himself, meticulously crafted by Master Xu Hai.

He had also bought a Superpower Item that could change his appearance. Once his public identity was declared dead, he could assume a new identity, live openly with Lin Lu, and start fresh in this world.

But with Wu Liugen looking like this, could he really stop the cicada and help him fake his death?

Don’t turn a fake death into a real one...

Others might not understand Wu Liugen, but Yan Xiu knew him very well. The latter wasn’t actually reading the Creation God’s Quotations at all.

In fact, that book had nothing but a cover of the Creation God’s Quotations, and the inside was full of racy novels that only someone like Wen Wen would enjoy.

With the enemy outside, you plug your ears and read these kinds of novels; will you really be able to fight when it’s time?
