MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again
Chapter 115 - 113: Leaving

Chapter 115: Chapter 113: Leaving

Cui Xi, who possessed the core Bloodline Power, easily opened the door of the secret chamber. "Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No need, go about your business," said Lu Hong as he stepped into the secret chamber he had visited before. This time his purpose was not to re-read the messages of the Divine Eye, but to find the old man who had appeared there previously.

The old man seemed to know about Lu Hong’s visit and, hunched over, stood at the end of the corridor, smiling at Lu Hong. "You came?"

"Did you know I would come?" Lu Hong was very surprised. Coming here had been a sudden whim; how could the old man be so sure that he would return to seek him out?

"I didn’t know," the old man shook his head. "I just felt that it would be you entering when the door to the secret chamber was opened."

"I see." Lu Hong nodded, accepting the old man’s explanation, then asked, "What do you think I came here for this time?"

"I don’t care what you came for," the old man said indifferently. "If you have questions to ask, ask quickly. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving."

The old man seemed to intentionally indicate that Lu Hong should ask him, so Lu Hong directly asked, "You know about the recent incidents with the Kangge Rui family, right?"

"Yes," the old man nodded. "But these things are unrelated to me. I just view them as watching a play."

"Don’t you want to go out?" If he was an elder of the Kangge Rui family, possessing powerful strength, he definitely would have some thoughts after Cui Xi took power, because both he and Cui Xi were special representatives of the Kangge Rui family. In the weak family Bloodline, the appearance of two top powerhouses must have something in common.

"I don’t want to. It’s quite peaceful here, and the secret chamber is rarely visited. Apart from having a few juniors collate the latest intelligence, nobody bothers me."

Lu Hong was quite surprised by the old man’s answer, but in the end, these were just the private matters of the Kangge Rui family, and it was not appropriate for Lu Hong to probe further. So, he changed the subject and continued asking, "You previously told me to pay attention to the last message of the Divine Eye. What did you mean by that?"

"It means just what it says," the old man replied. "In fact, all the messages hidden in the secret chamber from the Divine Eye are true."

"They’re all true?!" Lu Hong was stunned. If all this is true, then how many Divine Eyes are there? Thousands, tens of thousands wouldn’t be enough. Each family hides one, and then Tong Shuai also obtained one; according to the old man, nearly forty percent of the families amongst the Magic Race had received a Divine Eye.

The old man nodded with certainty. "Yes, but the mysteries within need to be explored by you. This is all the help I can give."

"Thank you." Lu Hong noted down the old man’s words. Although it seemed absurd, it appeared that the other party had no intention of deceiving him. Whether it was true or not, providing some intelligence was still a kind gesture.

"Anything else? If not, this old man needs to rest now." Without waiting for Lu Hong’s response, the old man turned and suddenly vanished on the spot.

"Where is he? I haven’t finished asking yet!" Lu Hong looked around but couldn’t find any trace of the old man. Truly strange.

Since the old man had disappeared, Lu Hong no longer lingered, leaving the secret chamber with questions in mind.

"You’ve come out. Just in time, my servant has brought a letter that I’m sure will interest you," Cui Xi had not left but had waited at the door of the secret chamber until Lu Hong came out.

"What letter?"

"You had asked Uncle Ku Le to notify your friends in the Continent of God’s Grace, right? Today my subordinate brought your friend’s reply." Cui Xi handed over a yellowed letter. "Hurry and take a look, and if you need to reply, I can continue to relay it for you."

Lu Hong took the yellowed letter, and as soon as it touched his hands, it transformed into a bundle of white light that shot into his brow—this was the most secret kind of magical message, unreadable by anyone other than the recipient. It seemed that this letter was the work of Caesar.

Indeed, Caesar’s voice then slowly echoed in Lu Hong’s mind:

"Tu Ku Lu, you were slightly late in sending someone to find Nono. After Konstantin returned, the situation began to lean in favor of the empire, and therefore Nono decided to return to the Xia He family to stop the impending internal strife. But rest assured, I have already had Lai Li accompany her; Nono’s life is definitely not in danger. Your classmates also followed Nono when they left the town. However, this time Nono’s return to her family will surely be fraught with difficulties. As her lover, it’s best for you to come back soon and take control of the situation.

Also, according to the information I received, the Golden Lion entered the wilderness with a large army of the Beastman Empire three days after you entered the wilderness—be very careful. If you encounter problems you can’t solve, I’ve left a spatial marker in the letter. Activate it, and I can open a spatial rift to bring you back to town.

Also, your classmates all miss you, their leader. Although I don’t know why Lai Li asked me to take special care of you, I’ve noted down the fact that you sent your lackey to woo my daughter. One day I’ll repay you well for that!"

After listening to Caesar’s message, Lu Hong indeed found a faint light point in his mind, which seemed to be activated by just a thought.

Cui Xi, who had been quietly waiting, saw Lu Hong open his eyes and said enviously, "It seems you are no ordinary person in the Continent of God’s Grace. Such high-level magical messages are not something ordinary families can use."

"Thank you." Receiving Caesar’s reply, Lu Hong felt a sense of belonging. It seemed that maybe back in the distant Continent of God’s Grace, there were people still thinking of him. "Help me with a few more things."

"No problem, just say it," Cui Xi agreed immediately. She was actually worried that Lu Hong wouldn’t ask for her help. The Kangerlei family owed Lu Hong quite a bit, and it was good to repay a favor. If she could get Lu Hong to owe her a favor instead, that would be a win for Cui Xi.

"Also, take a message back for me. Tell Old Man Tu that I am aware of the situation and will solve the problem in the wilderness as soon as possible and return to the Continent of God’s Grace. Can your Kangerlei family also pass the message to the Red Kingdom?"

Cui Xi was clearly unhappy with Lu Hong’s questioning. "What are you worried about? My Kangerlei family does business all over the wilderness, not just there, but also in seven or eight different planes where our family has businesses. Even if it’s the Red Kingdom, I can manage to send a message to the queen there."

"That’s great. Send someone to the Luo family’s Louise and ask her when she plans to pick up the items. I will rush back in advance to help."

"Louise?" Cui Xi suddenly looked curious. "I didn’t expect you to know her. She’s recently become quite a notable figure in the Red Kingdom."

"What? Has she done something big?"

"I won’t go into the details of the past, but just yesterday she did something huge. Louise, as the heir to the Luo family, submitted an application to the Red Queen to reopen the Ancestral Blood Land."

"Ancestral Blood Land?"

Cui Xi explained, "The Ancestral Blood Land is the original ancestral land of the Human Race of the Red Kingdom. It has been declared forbidden territory by the Red Kingdom long ago, and it’s said to contain treasures of the wilderness."

"There are treasures and it’s still forbidden?" Lu Hong doubted.

"Yeah, who knows? Anyway, there’s definitely some good stuff hidden in the Ancestral Blood Land, right? At least it should contain high-level Origin Blood," Cui Xi said enviously. "Since the wilderness has been cultivated, a lot of Origin Blood has been lost, and it’s becoming increasingly scarce."

"By the way, isn’t Origin Blood a specialty of the wilderness? Speaking of which, I’ve never seen it since I entered the wilderness."

"This is the stuff." Cui Xi flicked her fingertips, and a white translucent object that looked like jelly appeared in her palm. "This is a high-level piece of Origin Blood; it can fetch a million Gold Coins in today’s market."

Lu Hong examined the small jelly-like object, "Can it enhance Bloodline Power?"

"Yes," nodded Cui Xi. "Taking this piece in my hand as an example, it can enhance your Bloodline Power by ten percent. Pretty crazy, right?"

"Only ten percent?"

Hearing Lu Hong’s dissatisfaction, Cui Xi rolled her eyes. "This is the first time I’ve met someone with expectations like yours. How many divine items in the world can enhance ten percent in combat power?"

"I was just saying." Lu Hong gave a sheepish smile.

"Alright, since we’re talking about Origin Blood, you can have this piece," Cui Xi generously shoved the Origin Blood into Lu Hong’s hand.

"A million Gold Coins worth just given to me?" Lu Hong weighed the palm-sized Origin Blood, small but quite heavy.

"Just a million Gold Coins. You are a great benefactor to my Kangerlei family; after all, this piece of Origin Blood was originally intended as a gift from my uncle to you."

Lu Hong didn’t refuse, since the object could enhance Bloodline Power, and strength was, of course, better more robust than weaker.

In the Demonic Race Xiaoxiao’s territory, it was indeed filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, which explained why Lai Li was hesitant to venture into the wilderness with him.

"Here, take this too," as Lu Hong took the Origin Blood, Cui Xi brought out a purple, gold-embossed card. "This is a universal merchant’s VIP card for the entire wilderness. You can use it in all commerce halls within the wilderness. Don’t worry about how much Gold Coins it actually contains, it’s definitely enough for you to buy anything you desire."

Taking the card from Cui Xi’s hand, Lu Hong joked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll spend your family’s entire fortune?"

"If you do spend it all, I’ll bring the whole Kangerlei family, old and young, to follow you, and beg you daily for food and drink," Cui Xi smiled slightly, then suddenly stepped forward and lunged at Lu Hong.

"What are you doing?" Lu Hong was prepared and quickly stepped back, dodging Cui Xi’s embrace.

"Tried an empty grab," Cui Xi complained with a pout. "Can’t we even share a hug before leaving?"

"Better not, I can’t handle the embrace of a beauty," said Lu Hong, waving his hand and striding away.

Cui Xi stood in the Peach Blossom Forest, watching him leave, and finally couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re really cautious, not giving me even a small chance," she said with a hint of resignation as she retracted the poisonous needle hidden between her fingers.
