Chapter 272: Chapter 271: Orange? Who Would Have Thought?
Seeing Lu Zixun’s expression gradually becoming solemn,
Xiong Kang sighed, "Don’t worry too much, the ghoul is still hiding in the shadows, which means his power is inferior to ours, otherwise... his tracks would have already been exposed."
As he finished speaking, the speed of the car gradually slowed down.
Xiong Kang killed the engine and helped Lu Zixun out of the car, performing these few actions smoothly, like flowing water.
Struggling free from Xiong Kang’s arms, Lu Zixun leaped onto Xiong Kang’s shoulder, looking around at the surrounding apartment buildings.
At this time, with work going on as usual and students busy studying, the apartment buildings seemed especially quiet.
Finding the location Uncle Guan had described, Xiong Kang started walking towards the building with heavy strides.
"Are you sure this is the one?"
Glancing at the sign for Unit Three on the apartment building, Lu Zixun turned to Xiong Kang for confirmation.
Nodding his head, Xiong Kang affirmed, "Yes, it’s here."
"That’s fine then."
Jumping down from Xiong Kang’s shoulder, Lu Zixun took out a talisman from his storage talisman and slapped it straight onto the ground.
"What kind of talisman is this? I’ve never seen it before."
The moment Lu Zixun slapped down the talisman, a massive Array instantly formed, enveloping the entire apartment building within it.
"Don’t know, Si Yin figured it out, I think it could be called a Barrier."
Jumping back onto Xiong Kang’s shoulder, Lu Zixun said indifferently, "Unless I activate the talisman again, no one can get out."
What he implied was that if Ming Ju was really in this building, then he absolutely couldn’t escape.
Having brought Lu Zixun up to the seventh floor, they looked at the door marked 707, and Xiong Kang gave Lu Zixun a meaningful glance.
Understanding the cue, Lu Zixun conjured Spiritual Fire that hovered in the hallway,
controlling the Spiritual Fire towards the door lock.
Under the intense heat, the door lock melted into a pool of molten metal on the floor, and the door opened with a sound.
"Welcome."
At this moment, Ming Ju seemed to have known that Lu Zixun and the others would return, casually sitting on the sofa, watching the television screen.
"To catch me, you even made a long-lost Detention Talisman, my importance must be quite significant."
He picked up the water glass in front of him and drained it in one gulp.
Ming Ju calmly looked towards the door, catching sight of Lu Zixun and Xiong Kang entering.
His pupils shrank, unable to believe it, he asked, "Why is it you!"
Earlier, Lu Zixun had thought Ming Ju was clever for having foreseen their arrival, but seeing Ming Ju’s current expression, he retracted his earlier thoughts.
"Why wouldn’t it be us?"
Smiling, Xiong Kang didn’t beat around the bush and said straightforwardly, "Ming Ju, if your Deceit God Temple’s target for assassination is truly the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon, what are you going to do?"
"You know my name, it seems Ming Yang did indeed betray the Deceit God Temple."
Shaking his head, Ming Ju leaned back, leisurely saying, "As for your question, it’s nonsense. The Hall Master couldn’t possibly be wrong."
From Ming Ju’s words, one could hear his deep trust.
Hearing this, Lu Zixun didn’t feel like saying anything more, the dark red mark glowed, and Spiritual Fire appeared in the room.
"Hmm?"
Facing the sudden appearance of the Spiritual Fire, Ming Ju raised an eyebrow.
Spiritual Energy, like threads from his fingers, approached the Spiritual Fire.
After a while, Ming Ju’s pupils shrank, and he muttered like a soulless man, "How is this possible? This can’t be possible."
Retracting the Spiritual Fire, Lu Zixun, standing high above on Xiong Kang’s keyboard, looked down at Ming Ju.
"The Hall Master is very likely to have been parasitized by the Insect Clan. Can you find your Hall Master?"
With a look of disbelief on his face, Ming Ju, hanging his head, faintly said, "Before that, answer me one question first. During the Bloodline Awakening of the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon, they all meet the previous Swallowing Sky Cat Demon. Did Ye Ye... regret it?"
Initially not wanting to answer this question, Lu Zixun saw the longing in Ming Ju’s eyes.
Lu Zixun’s heart stirred, and after recalling, he said, "When I met him, his body was already very small, and after he helped me complete my Bloodline Awakening, he just disappeared."
Not hearing the answer he wanted, a faint color of disappointment surged in Ming Ju’s eyes.
After a moment, Ming Ju’s lips slightly curled up, and he repeated like he was talking in his sleep, "It’s good this way, it’s good this way."
"It’s your turn to answer my question."
Frowning, Lu Zixun looked at Ming Ju.
"Within the Deceit God Temple, the method of contact is through a secret code, but the Hall Master has specially created a direct line to contact me."
At this time, Ming Ju’s gaze softened as he looked at Lu Zixun, and he gently continued, "However, regarding the specific location of the Hall Master, I can’t help you find that. Even though I can contact the Hall Master directly, it’s always the Hall Master who initiates contact."
Hearing this, Lu Zixun and Xiong Kang suddenly fell silent.
They had thought that Ming Ju’s ardent assassination attempt was because he could contact the Hall Master, but it turned out he couldn’t either.
From a certain perspective, this was very cautious.
"I have a question. Since you don’t know who the Hall Master is, if the Hall Master dies and the secret code falls into someone else’s hands, you wouldn’t know."
Feeling that the Deceit God Temple was full of loopholes, Lu Zixun was simply powerless to complain.
"The use of the secret code must be by the Hall Master himself or by someone authorized by the Hall Master; otherwise, the secret code cannot be used, so the problem you mention generally doesn’t occur."
Hearing this, Xiong Kang raised an eyebrow, squinting at Ming Ju, "Even if Da Ju is not the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon, why did you try to perform an assassination?"
"Do you call him Da Ju?"
Without answering each question, Ming Ju looked at Lu Zixun and smiled, praising, "Good name."
"The Deceit God Temple was founded by Ye Ye, the previous generation’s Swallowing Sky Cat Demon, and I was raised in the Crimson Land by Ye Ye."
Pausing, Ming Ju continued, "Initially, when Zhenfei was massacring Ye Ye, I was only seven years old. Ye Ye fought with all his might and sent our young generation into human society, while he himself was severely wounded by that bastard Gu Beihan."
"So, this is a matter of faith. A Spirit Beast impersonating the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon must die."
Hearing this, Xiong Kang was even more confused, frowning at Ming Ju, "Since Ye Ye raised you, logically, you should be very familiar with the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon, so why couldn’t you recognize Da Ju’s identity?"
"..."
After a moment of silence.
Ming Ju raised his hand to his forehead, helplessly saying, "A very crucial point is that every Swallowing Sky Cat Demon is black, and the historical records also document a black cat. This time, it turned out to be orange. If it were you, would you have expected that?"
Looking at Lu Zixun’s fur, Xiong Kang shook his head; this might just be cognitive bias.
Now that he had proven his identity to Ming Ju, Lu Zixun, thinking that a major trouble was resolved, was preparing to leave with Xiong Kang when
the door previously damaged by the Spiritual Fire was pushed open.
A stench rushed in, reaching the tip of Lu Zixun’s nose, causing him to frown and raise a paw to cover his nose and mouth.
