Chapter 711: Chapter 388 Help and New Ideas
“`
As the communicator gradually brightened,
Lu Yang held his breath and focused, seemingly a bit tense.
Until the light completely covered his field of view.
He slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened them again,
darkness surrounded him.
“Interesting,”
“Why seek me instead of your master?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Kissing feet doesn’t work anymore?”
The voice from above was undisguised in its disdain and mockery.
Even so,
Lu Yang’s expression remained unchanged, as if he had grown accustomed to the other’s manner of speaking.
He lifted his head.
His gaze slowly shifted upward.
Before his eyes,
was an elder with a sinister face and sharp eyes.
Li Muhuang.
One of the three leaders of the Resistance Army.
And in Lu Yang’s knowledge, the person who got along least with Zuo Wei.
In this period,
he had not just once suggested to Zuo Wei that they should nip Chen Sheng in the bud.
Unfortunately,
Zuo Wei was stubbornly myopic.
Even though the other was a superior who had promoted him.
Lu Yang had no intention of blindly following him into the deep pit.
Therefore,
after much deliberation,
Lu Yang decided to seek an audience with Li Muhuang instead.
Perhaps with him,
there could be a turning point.
“Great disaster is imminent,”
“Lu Yang,”
“I implore the leader to save the Resistance Army.”
Ignoring Li Muhuang’s ridicule,
Lu Yang knelt on both knees, imploring loudly.
As his voice fell,
his forehead struck the ground hard.
His forehead touched the surging Black Mist on the ground.
A bone-chilling cold instantly crept into his consciousness, causing Lu Yang’s body to tremble uncontrollably.
“Oh?”
“Explain.”
Li Muhuang propped his cheek, revealing an interested expression.
Lu Yang did not digress further.
In the time that followed,
he narrated his discoveries to Li Muhuang.
“I know that our commanders are well-informed and may not consider the situation unusual,”
“But in my humble opinion, Chen Sheng is not to be taken lightly.”
“When I left Blue Star, he had not yet reached Breaking Limit, but in just half a month, he has already progressed to the strongest tier within the Starburst Level, even managing to defeat a Galaxy Level Huan Ling with some special power.”
“If he continues to grow stronger at this… or even faster rate,”
“it will be highly detrimental to our Resistance Army!”
Throughout the conversation,
Lu Yang didn’t speak ill of Zuo Wei.
He merely expressed his own concerns about Chen Sheng.
From start to finish,
Li Muhuang had not interrupted, listening silently instead.
Only after Lu Yang finished speaking,
did he finally raise a question.
“What if… you’re wrong?”
“If I agree to help you, and you’re right,”
“then both you and I will be heroes of the Resistance Army.”
“But if you’re wrong…”
The sentence was left unfinished,
but Lu Yang understood the implication and felt a chill in his heart.
Indeed.
He was but a minor character.
His suspicions about Chen Sheng lacked solid evidence.
If his guess proved wrong, not only would he suffer for wasting the Resistance Army’s resources,
it could even impact Li Muhuang himself.
Putting himself in Li Muhuang’s shoes,
even Lu Yang would certainly not choose to offer help.
“…..”
Faced with Li Muhuang’s casually spoken words,
Lu Yang opened his mouth but found himself unable to utter any words of explanation.
“Ha.”
Li Muhuang let out a sneer.
“No wonder your master doesn’t want you.”
“Incapable of even understanding your own interests, you dare waste my time.”
Having said that,
Li Muhuang began to rise from the chair, his figure gradually fading,
as if intending to leave forthwith.
Just as Lu Yang was about to give up hope and consider other options,
the voice once again emanated from where Li Muhuang was fading.
“Do you know of Zuo Wei’s past?”
Hmm?
Lu Yang looked up in confusion.
He didn’t understand why the subject had suddenly come up.
“I’ve always been aloof, feeling no sense of belonging to the world of my birth.”
“Jiu Yang Zi’s world is one of supreme martial power, resisting the invasion of the Subordinates to this day.”
“Only Zuo Wei,”
“His world was ravaged and became fodder for the Supreme Demon shortly after he became a Breakthrough Limit.”
“He personally witnessed the brutal destruction of his family and friends at the hands of the Subordinates.”
“He watched as his home was obliterated by the Subordinates.”
“And yet this leader of the Resistance Army, this notable figure high above the universe,”
As he said this,
Li Muhuang chuckled darkly.
His laughter seemed to mock, to show contempt.
“could only flee like a dog that has lost its home, hiding in an obscure part of the universe, shivering and praying that the Subordinates wouldn’t find him.”
Upon hearing this,
Lu Yang’s expression became somewhat astonished.
Not many in the Resistance Army were privy to the affairs of Zuo Wei’s homeland.
Even he, considered a valued member by Zuo Wei,
only knew that Zuo Wei came from a High Martial World.
It was unexpected that this famously gentle member of the Resistance Army held such deep-seated hatred towards the Subordinates.
However,
why had Li Muhuang suddenly brought up all this?
Lu Yang watched his back, his confusion undiminished and growing even more intense.
“Hence,”
“among the three of us,”
“Zuo Wei, nominally a conservative, advocates for the Resistance Army to put out fires everywhere.”
“But in reality, he’s constantly seeking an opportunity that would allow him to break through his current strength and ascend further.”
“In terms of the desire to obliterate the Subordinates, in terms of hatred for them, he is much more intense than I am.”
“Such a person is also the most likely to lose his senses in the face of a hope within reach.”
“For example, the youngster you spoke of… named Chen Sheng.”
“To break through in strength, Zuo Wei covets Chen Sheng’s Practitioner’s Fire Seed, seeking to usurp it.”
“For this, he’s even spent considerable effort researching what he calls the Law of Seizing.”
