Free Web NovelChapter 598: Chapter 62: Birth of a Monster
What exactly happened over there in Kunlun?
It’s still a mystery, at least from Chen Lusi’s perspective, what happened there remains a mystery.
Why did Xia Yue die in battle?
Was it really the relentless pursuit of the gods of the Kunlun Pantheon?
Or were they unstoppable?
Or perhaps Xia Yue was unwilling to retreat?
Chen Lusi had no way of knowing.
Because at that time, the ones who could personally witness the development of events in Kunlun were all famous advanced empowerers.
As for the low-level empowerers, let’s not mention whether they could get there; even if they did, they might not dare stand there.
The common characteristic of these advanced empowerers... is their reticence, unlike ordinary people who like to spread what they’ve seen everywhere.
And ever since Chen Lusi joined the Celestial Strategy Mansion, he has been on the periphery of the core power. Although he knows Ji Xin and Tai Shan, these high-level figures of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, he has never tried to learn about the news channels within the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
This has led him, like ordinary members, to mostly rely on chat groups and hearsay to learn about news.
Or, he depends on someone to tell him in person.
But now the main group has been silenced, and ordinary members in the same situation as him are all speechless, and with other related people simply having no time, Chen Lusi, who doesn’t even know about the black market forum’s related information, can only rely on wild guesses.
And that is currently the only thing he can do.
Si Yujie and others are preparing for tomorrow’s trip to the Imperial Capital.
While he, unable to use his authority ability and techniques, seems unable to do anything, has finally returned to Qinyuan and Mansion.
Because the two sisters are not there.
The house is quiet.
Chen Lusi silently came to the side of the sofa, collapsed into a seat, then leaned against the backrest, looking up at the ceiling.
To be honest.
Just now at the Celestial Strategy Trading, although he seemed able to calmly face the matter of Xia Yue’s death.
It was only because it didn’t feel real...
After all, just yesterday, Xia Yue was on the beach competing with Wu You over who caught the bigger fish... that powerful force capable of dispersing storms with one punch was dead the next day.
Without any signs.
It was just too sudden, and he couldn’t even feel sadness; after the initial shock, only... numbness remained.
It seemed he subconsciously ’froze’ the matter, isolating it in a corner, stripping his emotions away from it.
But at the same time, Chen Lusi became intensely curious about what exactly happened in Kunlun at that time.
He desperately wanted to know what exactly happened back then.
This curiosity made him regret staying on the periphery of core power back then.
...a very strange feeling.
Why exactly?
Chen Lusi lifted his right arm, resting the back of his hand against his forehead, then closed his eyes.
In the quiet house.
Only his faint breathing remained.
Actually, he wasn’t really familiar with Xia Yue, considering they had only known each other for a few months, and his time with Xia Yue was short, even less than Wu You.
But although their time together wasn’t long, in stark contrast to Si Yujie, he liked Xia Yue’s character very much.
He found him very open-minded.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this reason that he cared so much about what happened in Kunlun, the so-called truth?
After all, how could such an open-minded person... possibly die in battle?
Chen Lusi thought of this and slowly opened his eyes, picking up his phone once again.
But.
Before he could check the messages from before the main group was silenced again.
Knock knock.
A gentle knocking sound suddenly arose.
Chen Lusi was slightly taken aback, then looked towards the door, putting his hand down from his forehead, standing up, and went to the entrance to open the door.
He thought it was the two sisters.
But the people standing outside the door weren’t the two sisters, but... Zhang Xiufeng and Chen Qing.
Zhang Xiufeng looked a bit disheveled; his luxurious Daoist robe was covered with dust, lacking some immortal flair, but more filled with a touch of the mundane.
At this moment, he didn’t look like any Celestial Master Zhang, instead more like a fallen elder.
And standing beside him was Chen Qing, the Daoist from Qingcheng Mountain.
Also looking quite disheveled.
Seeing the two of them, Chen Lusi was taken aback again.
He certainly did not expect.
These two Daoists would come to visit him on such a day.
"Chen Lusi."
As soon as Zhang Xiufeng saw Chen Lusi, he breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "About Xia Yue’s matter... do you know? He entrusted me to deliver something to you."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lusi snapped out of it, looking at the two disheveled men, suddenly realizing something: "Did you just come back from Kunlun?"
"...Yes."
Zhang Xiufeng was silent for a while upon hearing this, then gently nodded.
Hearing this definitive answer, Chen Lusi immediately asked, "So... what exactly happened over there? Why did Xia Yue die in battle?"
Although their appearance here was obviously abnormal.
And what they said indeed concerned him.
But what exactly happened in Kunlun, and why Xia Yue died in battle, these two questions constantly haunted Chen Lusi’s mind, remaining dominant.
Hearing his words, Zhang Xiufeng and Chen Qing exchanged a glance, both showing complex expressions on their faces, not answering at once, but sighing together.
Chen Lusi looked at them, patiently waiting for an answer.
"The day before yesterday, Xia Yue once said something to us in Kunlun."
Zhang Xiufeng organized his wording, finally saying, "He said that in certain old-fashioned fantasy stories, when faced with unassailable demon king-type characters, sealing methods are generally used.
And once it involves sealing, there will eventually come a day of failure... all temporary solutions, as long as the root problem isn’t resolved, will face a day of failing one day.
