Chapter 744: Chapter 734: Racing and the Dead City

Wen Wen turned to Wu Liugen with a complaint, "Just as I thought, those guys wouldn’t let you off so easily, and they even dragged me into being attacked."

Wu Liugen rolled his eyes; it was still uncertain who exactly these things were after.

Wen Wen looked at Wu Liugen with excitement, "Take out the Gatling, I’ll control Baiyun to fly, and we’ll shoot them down like that what’s-it-called game..."

"It’s Book of Thunder!" Tao Qingqing immediately answered, she had played plenty of games during her time at the Sanctuary.

Wu Liugen’s mouth twitched, "If my strength were normal, would I need you two to escort me? None of these things would stand a chance unless the Cicada Ancestor personally took action."

"But after seeing you eat, you seemed to have put the weight back on," Tao Qingqing chimed in.

"Putting on weight doesn’t mean my strength has returned," Wu Liugen said exasperatedly.

Seeing that playing was not an option, Wen Wen sighed, "Since that’s the case, let’s land. It might take more effort, but I can still get you safely to Xihong City."

But just then, Three Cubs wrapped its tail around Wen Wen’s leg, looking up at him with eager eyes and letting out a whining sound.

Ordinary snakes don’t have vocal cords, but the Three-Eyed Illusion Snake does.

Wen Wen immediately sensed what Three Cubs was thinking, and reached out to the cloud of Baiyun, which quickly transformed into the shape of a sports car, controllable with a steering wheel.

Three Cubs used the tip of its tail to put on a pair of sunglasses on its snake head, then picked up a stick-shaped object that looked like a cigarette and wrapped itself around the steering wheel.

Next, the speed of Baiyun surged!

The cicadas had chased close behind Baiyun, but were suddenly thrown off. Despite not admitting defeat, they continued the chase, while Three Cubs demonstrated its exceptional driving skills.

Bell-shaped maneuver, flat spiral, hammerhead stall...

All sorts of high-flying stunts came as naturally as breathing, and though Baiyun’s speed wasn’t as fast as the cicadas, it actually broke through the cicada blockade!

Under the guidance of Three Cubs, the group finally arrived at the border of Xihong City without any mishaps. The cicadas gathered at the border and cried out in waves, but not one dared to fly in.

The cicadas’ unwillingness to enter meant Xihong City was safe for them.

Three Cubs took off the sunglasses and raised its snake head high, as if waiting for Wen Wen to praise it.

Wen Wen patted its head in admiration, "Good job, I certainly didn’t buy my plane for nothing. From now on, you will be my private pilot."

Three Cubs’ expression suddenly froze, it didn’t want to be a tool snake anymore.

Wu Liugen lay on the edge of Baiyun, retching for a while, creating a splotch of high-altitude waste. His strength was severely impaired, so the flight was a bit too much for him.

But soon, his gaze sharpened.

The ground...

Was writhing!

Countless blood-red ’lines’, of varied thickness, were rising from the ground like a tide.

These lines wove into a large net, seizing the cicadas. A dozen or so cicadas couldn’t dodge in time, got caught by these lines, and turned into various messed-up things falling from the sky.

As these cicadas died, Wen Wen didn’t see the blue halo, which meant their energy was being absorbed by the blood lines rather than dissipating into the air as before.

Wen Wen watched the blood lines slowly withdraw back underground, but he didn’t dare to attack rashly.

Those things were likely the Pervasive Angel’s blood vessels, and they had at least True Order Rank strength!

And this was only what had been revealed; who knows what terrifying things were hidden beneath here.

"So that’s how it is; not only did they perish together before, but now, after their revival, they are still battling. The most dangerous place isn’t the center of the two cities, but the junction where the two cities meet!"

"Because this is the battlefield of two Catastrophe-Level beings!"

"Hurry and leave!"

Under Wen Wen’s command, Baiyun immediately distanced himself from this dangerous place, and the restless ground also quieted down once again.

As Baiyun flew towards the city center, Wen Wen kept observing, his brow never unfurling.

Just a few days ago when he had left, the situation here had improved, but now there was no sign of life, as if the city had died.

Wen Wen even saw a creature with a lizard-like tail nonchalantly rummaging through a garbage bin along the way.

It showed no regard for humans!

Carrying Wen Wen’s doubts, Baiyun landed near a large building in the city center.

This was one of the few structures in Xihong City still functioning normally, and it was also where the Vice President of the Capital Association, as well as most Demon Hunters, resided.

Wen Wen, with Wu Liugen in tow, headed straight for the top floor of the building, stopping a Supporter along the way. After a brief inquiry, he learned that just hours ago, under the orders of Vice President ’Tianzhu,’ all the city residents of Xihong City had been evacuated in batches.

Indeed, the situation had improved after Wen Wen left, an improvement that continued until it abruptly stopped yesterday morning.

The Vice President, Tianzhu, had discovered that the flesh parts scattered on the surface were just a ruse; there was a vast accumulation of flesh parts underneath Xihong City.

The sheer number and strength had long surpassed the Disaster True Sequence, coming alarmingly close to the Catastrophe Level!

Upon receiving the information about the Cicada Ancestor, Tianzhu understood that this place would soon become a battlefield for Catastrophe-Level Experts, so innocent civilians could not be allowed to get caught up in the war.

Once the matter with the Cicada Ancestor escalated to a certain point, Liaozhou City would likely issue an order for complete evacuation, and the surrounding cities would also take corresponding measures.

Wu Liugen touched his bald head, realizing that despite being safe from cicadas, this place might be even more dangerous than Liaozhou City.

However, no matter what, Wu Liugen needed to meet with ’Tianzhu’ along with Wen Wen. His strength had greatly diminished due to his own folly; only by clinging to Tianzhu could he ensure his safety.

Tianzhu was in a room at the very top of the building. Before entering, Wen Wen sketched a meaningless rune with his bare hands on his chest.

This rune, from the Book of Thunder, would protect Wen Wen from ordinary levels of lightning.

Wu Liugen was puzzled by Wen Wen’s actions, but as soon as he stepped through the door, he understood. The room was filled with strong electrical charges, causing all the hair on his body to stand on end instantly.

Although he was bald, he still had hair in other places.

Thus, he could only awkwardly bend over.

Wen Wen, on the other hand, looked unfazed, having learned from his previous meeting with ’Tianzhu’; he could not afford to make a fool of himself again.

Tianzhu sat on a sofa with her legs crossed, her face indistinct and blurred.

Although she did not speak, she exerted great psychological pressure on Wen Wen, like a queen with a whip held high...

Clearing his throat, Wen Wen said, "Vice President Tianzhu, this bald man beside me is the Master Wu Liugen you wished to meet. Also, I need to discuss the situation in Liaozhou City with you."

"Master, your timing is impeccable. I would like to talk with you about your plan for the revival of Buddhism."

"You flatter me, President. I am but a humble monk; the revival of Buddhism is merely my foolish dream. However, if I could receive your assistance... "

"If I help you, what can you offer me?"

"Please allow me to explain one by one."

The two conversed quite enjoyably. After listening for a while, Wen Wen tactfully excused himself and closed the door, shaking his head and muttering, "Too dirty, filthy."
