MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 591 - 79 Untitled

Six days later, when Konstantin was being harried by Tai’e’s guerilla tactics, Zheke arrived at the Imperial Palace with the results of the interrogation of Liu Shanhe.

Seeing Konstantin’s displeased expression, Zheke whispered, "Your Majesty."

Konstantin snapped back to reality, looked at him, and asked, "Do you have results?"

"We do. According to the investigation, the third branch of Liu Shanhe’s Liu Family is indeed an Infernal Domain family, affiliated with the Chief Arbiter," he said. "But..."

Taking the interrogation transcript handed over by Zheke, Konstantin skimmed through it and then asked, "But what? Do you find it suspicious how easily we uncovered the Infernal Domain family?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zheke nodded. "That’s exactly what I think."

"What is the status of the arrest of all third-branch members?"

"Nearly eighty percent are controlled by Duke Liu. The other twenty percent are not in Dongsheng. I have sent people to apprehend them."

"Hmm." Konstantin nodded, then closed his eyes, gently rubbing his temples. After a long pause, he spoke, "The issue indeed seems resolved too easily."

"If the Infernal Domain were this easy to deal with, they wouldn’t have survived until today," Konstantin stated. "Did you notice anything unusual when talking to Liu Donglin?"

"No," Zheke replied with a bitter smile. "Duke Liu is truly cunning; I tried to hint at things but couldn’t get any useful information from him."

"What do you think?" Konstantin looked at Zheke. "Does Liu Donglin have any issues?"

"I..." Zheke fell silent for a moment, then heavily exhaled, "I think Liu Donglin is very suspicious!"

"Then keep a close eye on him, investigate!" Konstantin’s eyes flickered with cold light. "If there’s an issue, it will definitely be revealed one day."

"I understand!" Zheke complied.

The Star Sea was in chaos, battles raging non-stop, while deep in the Infernal Domain, Lando was leisurely enjoying a vacation.

Lying on a soft, modified beach, basking in the green sun, Lando was feeling very comfortable.

At this moment, Ze Xiu approached leisurely, waking Lando and saying, "My dear Vice Sect Hierarch, how long are you planning to vacation here?"

"Why rush? With the Star Sea in such turmoil, isn’t it nice to stay in the Infernal Domain?"

"But the Lord wants us to use this opportunity of chaos to spread the teachings and expand the sect," Ze Xiu said. "Your previous actions have already displeased the Lords, and now you drop everything. Aren’t you afraid of the Lord’s anger?"

"Accountability?" Lando smirked. "Haven’t I done enough for the Infernal Domain over the years? Why? Is one thing not to their liking unacceptable?"

"Fine, fine, have it your way." Ze Xiu was unconditionally tolerant of Lando, much like an old father.

"If there’s nothing else, please don’t disturb my rest."

Seeing Lando issue an eviction order, Ze Xiu smiled slightly, "There were a few pieces of news from the Star Sea I wanted to share with you, but since you don’t want to hear them, never mind."

"Never mind, then." Lando was unfettered. "I have no concerns now, and I don’t want to step into the Star Sea again. Stop bothering me with those troublesome things. Off you go!"

"Alright, alright." Seeing Lando in a bad mood, Ze Xiu had no choice but to turn and leave, muttering quietly, "Is the news about Duke Shenwei’s resurrection true or not? How did he end up getting married?"

"Wait!" Lando urgently called out to Ze Xiu, "What did you just say? Who’s resurrected?"

"No one; you misheard." Ze Xiu paid no heed to Lando’s questions and left with large strides.

This time, however, Lando was not satisfied, hopping up to block Ze Xiu’s path, "Quick, tell me!"

Ze Xiu laughed, "What? Not chasing me away anymore?"

"You are the Sect Hierarch. Who dares to chase you away?" Lando put on a full smile. "Oh, my dear Hierarch, what did you say just now? Can you say it again, please?"

"Hmm!" Ze Xiu nodded in satisfaction, "That’s more like it, but I’m feeling a bit thirsty."

Lando quickly grabbed some juice from the wooden table beside her, bringing it to Ze Xiu, "Here, have some chilled watermelon juice. I just made it. Give it a try."

Ze Xiu downed it in one go, feeling refreshed. "Not bad; it tastes good."

"So, what is it?"

"Ah, I’ve been standing for a while, and my legs feel a bit tired..."

Lando quickly dragged over her lounge chair, catering to Ze Xiu to sit, even massaging his legs for relaxation, "Is this better? Comfortable?"

"Good, good."

Having vented his frustration earlier, Ze Xiu didn’t continue to fuss and began speaking, "According to the news from the Stellar Sea Sub-Hall, two months ago, Duke Shenwei suddenly appeared at Fort Bastion and held a grand wedding with Lady Anna from the Eagle Alliance. Afterward, Duke Shenwei traveled far to the northern border of the Imperial Plane to suppress the Infernal Domain’s forces that were causing internal chaos in Bo’an. Currently, he is resting in the three towns of Bo’an without further actions."

Hearing Ze Xiu’s recount, Lando was filled with joy, "He’s resurrected? Is it really him?"

"Unsure," Ze Xiu shook his head. "The intel also stated that when Duke Shenwei was suppressing the Infernal forces, he ordered the mass slaughter of civilians, causing widespread discontent across the major planes of the Star Sea, questioning the authenticity of his identity. Meanwhile, a magical image has been circulating."

"Where’s the image?" Lando urgently asked for it.

"Here!" Ze Xiu tossed out a jade slip, and with the infusion of magic power, Lu Hong’s figure prominently appeared within. In the image, Lu Hong gazed indifferently at the civilians storming the checkpoint not far away. Following Lu Hong’s orders, the Imperial army mercilessly brandished their swords, slaughtering all the civilians.

"It’s really him!" Lando immediately recognized Lu Hong upon seeing the image.

"Then I’m curious, if it is truly him, why would he slaughter civilians?"

Lando rolled her eyes at him. "Isn’t it obvious? Those civilians were all controlled by the Infernal Domain. You must have heard of Soul Water."

"Well, it doesn’t concern me. Since you believe it’s him, then so be it. But..." Ze Xiu changed his tone, "but your little lover seems to be married now and has become someone else’s husband. Aren’t you upset?"

"A little." Honestly, there was definitely some unhappiness, but Lando also understood Anna, the pitiful woman alone in a foreign land. Moreover, Anna was the only one willing to accompany Lu Hong’s empty tomb. Lando did not resent Lu Hong’s decision to marry Anna.

Anna’s determination made Lando feel ashamed, unable to muster hatred or jealousy. However, if Lu Hong were marrying Danni, that would be another story.

"Alright, the matter is discussed. You can continue to rest in the Infernal Domain, and leave the dissemination of the teachings and the expansion of believers to me, the Sect Hierarch!"

As Ze Xiu just got up, he was pressed back down by Lando, "Oh, no. You are the Sect Hierarch. How could such trivial matters require your personal intervention? Would it not imply my sect is devoid of talents?"

"Don’t flatter me, I know your schemes," Ze Xiu was perceptive. "If you were to return to the Star Sea, I bet you’d just go meet your lover. Would you even have time for sect affairs?" Ze Xiu was clear-headed. "I can’t count on you; I’d better go back to the Star Sea myself. Whether you come along is up to you."

Having said that, Ze Xiu pushed Lando aside and left.

"Oh, wait! Walk slower; let me pack my things!"

Not long after Lando received the news of Lu Hong’s return, Braham also acquired the latest information from the Star Sea.

The Master of the Seven Towers had exerted all efforts in pursuing Caesar, yet still couldn’t match the old monster’s cunning, who repeatedly slipped from grasp.

This time was no exception. Having lost Caesar’s trail, the seven had to temporarily take shelter in a small plane in the southeastern corner of the Star Sea. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

The two-story makeshift lodging built from dilapidated planks was the best accommodation they could find. This plane didn’t even have a name, let alone a unified family language or currency.

They still lived in an early stage economy based on bartering.

Braham only exchanged a few translucent glass beads for complete use of the small inn.

"Look at what I’ve brought back!" Braham waved the intelligence he held at the six seated around the living room.

Master of the Gray Tower Mo Bai spoke first, "Has fighting broken out again?"

"Almost," Braham nodded. "The situation is dire. Konstantin’s letter says that the battle at Abyss of Extreme Magic is unfavorable. Although the Battle Lion Barry has been captured, Prince Wu Jiang of the Beastman Empire alone supports the overall situation. After Tai’e detected the movements of the coalition forces, he decisively launched a full-scale attack, hoping to force them to abandon the intense attack on the Abyss and return to defend their homeland."

"Now it’s a showdown between Tai’e and Konstantin to see who falters first," Vili smiled slightly. "What else?"

"Furthermore, Konstantin hopes that we can return to Greenrest. Based on his deductions with Duke Nuoshan of the Eagle Alliance, Tai’e might act personally, and our assistance might be needed then."

Listening to Braham’s account, the people nodded slightly.

"It seems we should return for now."

"I disagree," said Red Beard. "Wounding Caesar was not easy. If we don’t pursue and take advantage, he might become a significant threat later on."

"But if Tai’e himself comes after Konstantin, how do you expect the Empire to withstand it?" Master of the Black Tower Jue Ying spoke. "And we’ve lost Caesar’s trail, anyway. Where do we find him? It’s better to return to the Empire and handle the current situation."
