Chapter 5115 Collusion
The sight of six six-vein Heaven Saints and hundreds of three-vein Heaven Saints in one place was truly frightening.
“Greetings, son of Brahma!”
One of the six-vein Heaven Saints stepped forward and cupped his fists to Lu Fan, cupping his fists in a deeply respectful gesture toward Lu Fan. The sheer respect in his tone ignited Long Chen’s anger.
“Fuck, as expected, it’s a scheme. They’re colluding!” Long Chen’s fury seethed, causing him to clench his teeth. It made sense now why Lord Brahma hadn’t mobilized his forces to drive off the devil creatures—they were actually allies!
“Fuck, I’m recording everything. Let’s see how you feign innocence this time!” muttered Long Chen.
Since entering the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain, he had activated a photographic jade in the primal chaos space to capture everything he observed. This was a feat others couldn’t achieve easily. After all, photographic jades were usually detectable by experts, and the spatial chaos from battles could easily destroy them.
However, Long Chen was different. His photographic jade was in the primal chaos space, recording everything he saw, and no one could sense it.
“Eh? What’s that scar on his face?” wondered Long Chen, as he noticed a strange scar on Lu Fan’s face, running from his forehead to his mouth. The scar was faintly bloody and curved, unlike any weapon marks Long Chen was familiar with. Even if someone used different techniques, there was no way to draw such a line.
“Damn!” Long Chen’s jaw suddenly dropped. “Why does that scar look like it was made by Mo Nian’s shovel?”
He took out his own shovel and compared its curve to the scar on Lu Fan’s face. It was a perfect match.
“That fellow Mo Nian, how did he do this?” Long Chen was stunned.
After all, Mo Nian had entered the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain before Lu Fan, who then chased after him. According to the spatial transportation laws of the gate, they shouldn’t have ended up in the same location.
Most importantly, Mo Nian wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake. To guarantee his safety, he would have used some special transportation talismans to evade his enemies’ pursuit.
“How vicious. Even with Lu Fan’s power, he still can’t erase that scar. Mo Nian must have done something to his shovel,” Long Chen laughed. It was a move that suited Mo Nian’s character perfectly.
Long Chen wasn’t sure if Lu Fan was wearing the mask to conceal his identity or to hide the scar on his face. Regardless, Lu Fan’s expression didn’t look too good. He coldly said, “The valley master sent me here to inquire about the situation at the axis sea.”
An elder of the devil creatures responded, “Please inform the valley master that everything is proceeding smoothly. We are still diligently working on suppressing them.”
Lu Fan sneered upon hearing this. “In other words, there has been no real progress?”
The elder didn’t get angry and calmly answered, “I wouldn’t say that. The great Heaven Devils are stationed on that side, and it takes time for the information to reach us from there.”
“Then what about this side of the axis sea?” demanded Lu Fan, maintaining his arrogance even in front of six-vein Heaven Saints.
“Everything is normal on this side. It is under control,” replied the elder.
“What control?” Lu Fan instantly exploded in rage. “You said everything was under control at the High Firmament Academy too! We warned you repeatedly to reinforce that area, but you ignored our warnings! You allowed the High Firmament Academy to reclaim their first branch without any resistance, and now you dare speak of control?!”
Hearing his aggressive words, the devil creatures roared furiously. Even the three-vein Heaven Saints started to circulate their heaven vein energy, looking like they would attack at any time.
In the face of so many aggressive devil creatures, Lu Fan showed no sign of fear. He sneered contemptuously, though his expression was hidden by his mask, so only Long Chen could see it.
The elder waved his hand, signaling the devil creatures to stand down. He then turned his gaze to Lu Fan. “If the Brahma Pill Valley is dissatisfied with that matter, feel free to report it to the Heaven Devils. It has nothing to do with us. We respect the Brahma Pill Valley and Divine Venerate Brahma, but that doesn’t mean I will tolerate your insolence indefinitely. Think it over.”
The elder’s tone turned icy, his demeanor firm. Though he was displeased by Lu Fan’s harsh criticism, he managed to remain calm.
Lu Fan coldly said, “According to our informants, the seal on this side of the axis sea isn’t going well. Many are searching for their ancestors and have already reached the depths of the Endless Desolation. This poses a severe threat to us.”
Long Chen’s heart raced as he realized he was overhearing a crucial secret.
The elder snorted in response. “What do you mean, our seal isn’t going well? The issue lies with the Brahma Pill Valley’s control. Your lack of oversight has allowed some individuals to sneak into the depths of the Endless Desolation. Not only that, but your Brahma Pill Valley also promised to eradicate the original devil race. Yet, they’ve resurfaced in the Endless Desolation, their divine marks suppressing our dark energy and causing us to take heavy losses. Other races have exploited this to breach our defenses. So tell me, who should be blaming whom?”
The original devil race? Long Chen’s mind raced as he thought of Yue Xiaoqian, his concern mounting. Had she already ventured into the depths of the Endless Desolation? He was overwhelmed with worry and felt a strong urge to go after her immediately.
“We’ve long since erased most of them. All that remains are the numerous tiny branches, which pose no significant threat. If you can’t handle even that, what use are you to Divine Venerate Brahma?” Lu Fan sneered.
“You...!” The elder trembled with rage. The Brahma Pill Valley’s negligence was the root cause of the problems, yet they shifted the blame onto the devil creature’s side. If it weren’t for Lu Fan’s special status, this elder would have crushed him on the spot.
“Tell me, have there been any movements on the violet blood race’s side?” asked Lu Fan.
At Lu Fan’s question, Long Chen instantly perked up.
