"..."
Tang Language fell silent upon hearing the words.
Because she didn’t know.
Or rather, the bewildered her was not sure.
Xiang Yi noticed that the usually lively Tang Language fell silent when faced with this question. She glanced once more at the back of Chen Lusi and gently sighed.
... It seems the fate of secular power is inevitable.
On another side.
Igri Saba was also looking at the back of Chen Lusi, then suddenly spoke, "That day were you just putting on airs? Saying you caught something, but it was actually just a show for me to see.
That’s right, I can indeed communicate with Hecate, so you deliberately acted confident in front of me? Making us hesitant to act rashly? Thus allowing the prosecution to complete smoothly? Ha... impossible, I admit you’re strong, much stronger than me.
But you’re still not qualified, you cannot stop Hecate, you cannot prevent the descent of the fury of the gods! You can’t even stop your nation’s Advanced Empowerers!
Look, the storm is already above your head.
Oh... or maybe you don’t even know who Hecate is, do you?"
At this point.
He couldn’t help but grin again, showing his white teeth.
"..."
Chen Lusi slightly turned his head, gave Igri Saba a glance, then withdrew his gaze, still remaining silent.
And at that moment.
Ding—
The elevator arrived.
The elevator doors slowly opened, a gentle breeze slightly lifted Chen Lusi’s ponytail.
Chen Lusi looked outside.
Found outside the elevator.
The first floor of the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters, was packed with people.
All were ordinary members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
At this time, they should have been heading to court, but whether it was due to news leaking or seeing Tang Language and Chen Lusi going to the underground floors.
So at this moment, they all appeared on the first floor of the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters.
As Chen Lusi emerged.
The ordinary members outside the elevator, who had waited a long time, all fixed their gaze on him.
Their expressions were somewhat complicated.
With the communication ban lifted in the Celestial Strategy Mansion’s general group, and the related news of the prosecution released, there were many discussions.
Some were in favor, some were opposed.
But overall, the opposition held the absolute majority.
Because the initial analysis by that member... indeed matched the reality closely.
But, even though it was evident.
Even though most members were against it, it was clear the prosecution was no small trouble this time.
Yet most members looked at Chen Lusi, their eyes still held hope.
Because the previous leader of the third squad of Celestial Strategy was Xia Yue.
And Chen Lusi is the new leader of the third squad of Celestial Strategy.
Although everyone clearly understood, Xia Yue and Chen Lusi were two different people, and there’s no comparison... moreover, countless evidence shows that this Chen Lusi, having joined for a short time, certainly couldn’t match Xia Yue in personal martial prowess.
But people are emotional beings.
The pressure... indeed was considerable.
The only feeling Chen Lusi had, facing the overwhelming gaze of ordinary members, was this.
He finally understood why Xiang Yi came to persuade him.
Because the news of his actions and the prosecution broke out one after the other.
This had already made all members associate him with the prosecution event.
"..."
Chen Lusi stood quietly in the elevator, facing the stares, and after a while, he didn’t say anything, he simply walked forward calmly.
And seeing Chen Lusi approaching.
The ordinary members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, who had packed the entire first floor, immediately split to the sides, making a path for Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi proceeded along.
... like parting the sea.
Perhaps infected by the atmosphere.
Most of the ordinary members, seeing the expressionless Chen Lusi, all calmed down.
Though this situation didn’t last long.
Because as he approached the exit, the Igri Saba behind Chen Lusi suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, do you think this prosecution will succeed? Do you think there’s a savior?"
Igri Saba turned around, casting a mocking glance across the ordinary members of the Celestial Strategy Mansion, then loudly declared, "Don’t be ridiculous! You’ve already failed! The storm is coming! There are no saviors! Instead, every single one of you! Will face judgment! Everyone!"
...
Lucheng.
Coastline.
The familiar sandy beach.
At the same time as Chen Lusi was escorting Igri Saba to court.
Yu Zhou gazed out at the coastline, took a deep breath, then softly said, "The preparation... has arrived."
Shanli was expressionless.
It indeed arrived.
Two Holy Coffin Knights, alongside a large group of Mujin New Church and Ise Jingu Advanced Empowerers, appeared within their line of sight.
...
Peng City.
The horse-faced man looked at the building two kilometers away housing Celestial Strategy Trading, gripping the Jade Seal that emitted a faint yellow aura, he closed his eyes, pondering something.
Dead Sore was standing by, fixated on the Jade Seal, his breathing somewhat rapid.
"... There’s no turning back."
Suddenly.
The horse-faced man sighed, as if making a resolute decision.
He slowly opened his eyes, put away the Jade Seal, then softly said, "Dead Sore, get ready to act."
...
Imperial Capital.
Hecate glanced at the Celestial Strategy Mansion Headquarters, then towards the southeast, lightly licked his lips, and smiled.
The slaughter... formally begins!
