Chapter 390: Chapter 389 Trial Tower

Under the enhancement of Spiritual Energy, the Spiritual Fire summoned by Lu Zixun took the form of a fire dragon that stood before the Lingshuang Formation.

When the fire dragon appeared, a subtle change flickered through the tranquil eyes of the Spiritual Ability Users within the Lingshuang Formation.

"Ding— Surprise value from Jie detected at +4000."

"Ding— Doubt value from Jie Yi detected at +3000."

"Ding— Detection from..."

The appearance of the fire dragon had earned Lu Zixun nearly twenty thousand in feeling value.

Under Lu Zixun’s control, the fire dragon slammed fiercely against the Lingshuang Formation.

He had not used the properties of the Night Evil Sword to cut through the Lingshuang Formation but instead opted for the most direct method of Spiritual Energy collision, wanting to see just how strong these people really were.

"Let’s go."

Seeing the fire dragon’s assault, Jie shook his head, relying on the Lingshuang Formation from Jie Yi, which could not possibly withstand this fire dragon.

There was no further need to continue.

In an instant, the Lingshuang Formation vanished, and a Teleportation Array appeared. As the fire dragon struck fiercely, the five individuals led by Jie disappeared on the spot, leaving only the fluctuations of space to be sensed.

Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes as he withdrew the Spiritual Fire back into his mark, gazing at the spot where the five had vanished.

It seemed these people were not from Zhenfei; their abilities... instead resembled those mentioned by Yang Guohong from the Elder Council.

Geng Xiyuan and Xiao Enshuo approached, looking at Lu Zixun with admiration.

Xiao Enshuo spoke with a sigh, "Brother Xun, I never imagined you’d be so strong, hahaha, now who dares to belittle our Demon Country?"

After observing the two in front of him, Lu Zixun realized they hadn’t sustained any substantial damage, just superficial wounds.

In other words, were those people just here to test the strength of the Demon Country?

Shaking his head without delving into the details, Lu Zixun asked, "What’s the deal with those people just now, and how did you end up fighting all the way over here?"

"They appeared out of nowhere outside the wall, and just as I was about to ask what they were doing, they attacked with an Ice Spur."

Geng Xiyuan pointed to a cut on his face, speaking somewhat sullenly, "I felt their strength was all S-grade. Fearing they might destroy the wall, I sent up a signal flare to draw them away. En Shuo came to support me after seeing it."

After a pause, Geng Xiyuan continued, "We were being overpowered at first, and I was about to call the other two brothers, but then I realized... they didn’t seem to want to kill us, it was more like... they were trying to gather our information."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s brows furrowed, it really seemed to be people from the Elder Council.

What would the Elder Council want with the combat data of key members of the Demon Country?

And why choose this moment?

After pondering for a moment, Lu Zixun had no guess as to the Elder Council’s intentions and shook his head, "Let’s go, back home."

"Brother Xun, did you get to see that person?"

Looking at Lu Zixun, Geng Xiyuan asked, "Or did you go see someone in Zone 1? Only you, Brother Xun, could go there."

The Demon Clan basically couldn’t enter places above Zone 5, which were areas heavily guarded by humans, hence Geng Xiyuan’s slight envy.

"I saw him, but Zone 1 is just that. It’s not as vibrant as the Demon Country."

Not sure if it was because Zone 1 was too far removed to reach the Insect Clan.

Lu Zixun, upon visiting Zone 1, felt it was almost no different from human society, equipped with all sorts of entertainment facilities, indulging in a decadent and luxurious lifestyle.

After returning to the Demon Country, Ge Changming walked into the office, holding a half-dead person in his right hand.

After throwing him on the floor, Ge Changming looked at Lu Zixun with some embarrassment, "Brother Xun, I have found that traitor."

Scanning the person on the floor, Lu Zixun pondered for a moment, "You knew it was that faction of the Insect Clan trying to make a move on the Demon Country?"

"No, he was just parasitized by the Heart Confusion Spider in his heart. Before I could take action, the Heart Confusion Spider took the chaos to escape."

Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on Ge Changming, "Are you sure the Heart Confusion Spider could escape amidst your attack?"

It was unheard of for a Heart Confusion Spider to be of King-level existence, escaping from an S-grade Demon Ability User was like a fantasy.

Ge Changming, who obviously also found it hard to believe, chuckled bitterly, "Brother Xun, it really did escape. Just as my Feather Puncture went out, a purple light enveloped the Heart Confusion Spider, and then it disappeared."

The Insect Clan could teleport through space?

Lu Zixun’s brows furrowed in thought for a moment and realized that he had never heard of such a presence in the Insect Clan in his memory.

Rubbing his face with a headache, Lu Zixun sighed, "Well, that’s it then. Lock this person up and conduct a thorough search within the Demon Country, to prevent any Insect Eggs from remaining in our territory."

"Ling, establish a Blood Energy detection network, covering the entire Zone 13."

After Ge Changming left, Lu Zixun spoke as he took out his phone.

"Lord Xun, doing so will slow down our progression to Second-level Civilization quite a bit."

"I know."

As he checked the news on the Star Network, Lu Zixun spoke again, "But it is necessary to establish it. As the strength of the Demon Country grows, the Insect Clan’s attempts to infiltrate will increase exponentially. Destroying a power from within is something the Insect Clan is quite adept at."

Understanding the danger of the Insect Clan, Ling immediately fell silent and began adjusting the development trajectory of the Demon Country.

"Recently, we held a meeting where the Elder Council decided that the rewards for the Bug Killing Competition were too small. They resolved to add on top of the original rewards an opportunity to enter the first layer of the Trial Tower."

Seeing this news, Lu Zixun’s brows furrowed; the Trial Tower couldn’t be that towering structure he saw in Zone 1, could it?

As Lu Zixun, who didn’t know what the Trial Tower was for, was about to search, he suddenly remembered he had something even better than a search engine at his disposal.

"Ling, information on the Trial Tower."

As soon as the words were out, Ling answered, "It is said the Trial Tower has a total of nine floors, and reaching the ninth floor is said to allow one to reach the heavens. Currently, the strongest recorded humans have only ascended to the fifth floor."

"According to reports, the Trial Tower is similar to entering a Dimension Space. After the space warning ends, overwhelming enemies appear. They cannot be killed or exhausted; it is an excellent place to hone combat experience. At the same time, the tower offers rewards based on the number of enemies killed, although the items rewarded are unknown."

"Lord Xun, it is very possible that the Trial Tower is a creation from the Forgotten Land, but as my original data is entirely destroyed, I can’t confirm."

Having gleaned an understanding that the Trial Tower was essentially a place to fight monsters for loot, Lu Zixun didn’t dwell on it.

Now, what intrigued him was why the Elder Council had such a strange whim to make this move.

After all, Yang Guohong had said that the people of the Elder Council usually did not get involved in such matters.
