238: Yun Chenxi, the official general

On the fringes of the world, in a rarely visited area, within a small underground shelter, a group of people also received news that Lu Ze was to be executed.

A woman with hair reaching her waist sat in the main seat, looking at the map on the table before her, her delicate brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.

The others dared not speak first, only waiting quietly.

After a few breaths, the woman slowly spoke, "The choice of this location is quite interesting. Nüwa City, located outside the Human Base, yet not too far from several Human Bases. It can simultaneously receive supplies from three Human Bases. This is clearly an attempt to lure us there and then completely wipe out the forces of our Guan Jiang Department!"

The others all deeply agreed, nodding in succession.

An old woman among them spoke, "Yun Chenxi, you have been training for several years now, and you should know most of what happened with Lu Ze back then. This matter not only concerns the survival of our Guan Jiang Department but also the entire China and the whole world. If Lu Ze dies, all the hard work of our Guan Jiang Department over so many years will be ruined!"

Another person followed, "That's right, Lu Ze is the only one among more than three thousand embryos who could survive the critical period and live until now. According to various messages that have come back, his cultivation talent is truly a Prodigy. If he dies, our Guan Jiang Department will not have the energy or resources to cultivate another one."

Seeing Yun Chenxi frown without speaking, the old woman paused slightly, "Chenxi, if you have any concerns, please speak them. Now, only a few of us are left in the Guan Jiang Department. It is best to speak openly and leave no room for suspicion."

Yun Chenxi gently tucked a wisp of hair behind her ear, her eyes shifting, and she still asked, "You are all veterans of the Guan Jiang Department, having dedicated your lives to it. The cultivation of Lu Ze's embryo was all carried out under your supervision. However, our Guan Jiang Department could not have only conducted experiments related to Lu Ze. Experiments on the Fusion of demons and human embryos have always been ongoing. I want to ask you all if there is anyone else who has been placed in a Human Base that I am unaware of?"

The people present exchanged glances, and the old woman slowly smiled, "Chenxi, you guessed correctly. There is indeed another person. She is also a product of the experiment, but not as powerful as Lu Ze, yet she is buried deeper than Lu Ze. Her name in the Human Base is — Huan Shen!"

...Xuanyuan City!

In the dark, sunless dungeon, a powerful Heavenly Dao intent permeated the air!

Qin Wan and Beast One had been staring at Lu Ze, but a few breaths ago, their hearts were filled with doubt.

This powerful Heavenly Dao intent had probably already spread out of the dungeon and become known to the outside world. Why had no one come to stop Lu Ze?

If he was allowed to continue comprehending, his strength would likely advance further!

Could it be that something was wrong outside?

Just as the two were feeling puzzled, the Heavenly Dao intent permeating the entire dungeon suddenly vanished!

Lu Ze suddenly opened his eyes!

"Buzz!"

A powerful force erupted in an instant, causing the surrounding space to ripple slightly and continuously!

Beast One and Qin Wan both held their breath, waiting for Lu Ze's next move.

They heard the sound of clothes rustling, Lu Ze seemed to have stood up, and then footsteps slowly moved.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

A dull thud sounded, as if the cage had been broken!

Lu Ze's footsteps continued to shift to the left, seemingly having left his cage and entered the demon's area next door.

Beast One immediately frowned tightly. He was very familiar with this place. The cages here were reinforced with special formations, and without the strength of a seventh or eighth rank, they simply couldn't be opened.

Even if Lu Ze had comprehended the power of the Heavenly Dao, he would only have gained a significant increase in strength at his current cultivation level, but he shouldn't be able to forcibly open such a cage!

"Bang!"

Another sound rang out, Lu Ze seemed to have broken through another cage and entered a different area.

"Boom!"

"Puff!"

The roar of a demon sounded, then instantly vanished, killed by Lu Ze.

Lu Ze unhurriedly went around the entire dungeon, opening all the confined areas and killing all the demons!

Finally, after a full ten minutes, Lu Ze broke another cage and entered the area where Qin Wan was.

Qin Wan couldn't see Lu Ze clearly, but she could determine his position based on his footsteps. She barely managed to raise her head, forcing a smile, and said, "Lu Ze, I have a proposal for cooperation. I wonder if you'll agree!"

Lu Ze stopped in front of her and only uttered one word, "Speak."

Qin Wan tried to suppress the dizziness caused by her exhaustion, "As long as you can get me out of here, I can let you command a faction of demons!"

"Lu Ze, you did nothing wrong, yet you are trapped here. The Human Race has already broken with you, so why not join us demons?! Anyway... hehe, anyway, you are now considered a Human Demon. The Human Race has nothing to do with you anymore. You should join us; we are your true kin!"

"That's all?"

Lu Ze's voice was calm, showing no emotion.

Qin Wan added, "I promise, you will be a king of a faction!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lu Ze suddenly attacked!

"Puff!"

Lu Ze's right hand pierced through Qin Wan's heart!

Qin Wan felt her breath catch, and the pain in her chest slowly spread.

She didn't understand why Lu Ze wanted to kill her!

"Wh-why? Lu Ze, do you still think you are part of the Human Race? Even if you kill all the demons in the world, in the eyes of those humans, you are different from them. You have demon blood in you; you are their alien. Those not of our race are sure to have different hearts! Lu Ze, don't you understand?!"

Lu Ze slowly pulled out his hand. Blood continuously gushed from Qin Wan's chest, and her life force began to rapidly wither at that moment!

"I know, of course I know. The Human Race can no longer see me as one of their own, but the faction you belong to is not my home either."

Lu Ze replied indifferently, then turned and walked towards Beast One in the corner.

Qin Wan bent over, painfully wanting to curl up, but because she was bound all over, she couldn't move, and all her senses were constantly disappearing.

"Lu... Lu Ze, you are a Human Demon. You will never be able to wash away this identity..."

After saying this, Qin Wan completely died!

"System Notification: Congratulations to the Host for killing a Human Demon, gaining Demon Points: 500!"

"Now summarizing the Demon Points gained by the Host for killing demons! Current Host's remaining Demon Points: 112500!"

Lu Ze walked towards Beast One, his eyes narrowed in thought.

He had caused such a commotion, it was impossible for the higher-ups not to know. Yet no one had come down to investigate. Could it be that someone was deliberately helping him?
