589: Chapter 589 A Doomed Plan

Zhou Yan pressed his hand against the wall, and the Power of Law touched the wall, emitting a sizzling sound like frying meat patties.

Looking at his scorched palm, Zhou Yan clicked his tongue in wonder.

"This room is not simple. I didn't notice it when I was here before."

This house has strong defensive capabilities and can even resist the Power of Law, while also occasionally affecting the emotions of the people inside.

If it weren't for Zhou Yan constantly regulating it with the Law of the Heart, Xiao Sheng would probably be trying to choke him out again by now.

Presumably, this is also the trick Arthur pulled using the Apocalypse Knight.

Recalling, the Victory Knight can boost a Cultivator's power out of thin air, and even allow the characteristics of a silhouette to spread among different people through combat.

Then this War Knight shouldn't be simple either.

However, Zhou Yan was not panicked. Having just dealt with Feng Xu's trouble, he no longer felt pressured when facing Arthur's schemes.

Unlike his unbothered attitude, Xiao Sheng simply gave up, lying on the ground like a starfish.

"Guh, I really didn't expect this. I, the dignified Master of Kurong Temple, the famous Xiao Yuansheng, am actually going to die in this place."

Zhou Yan didn't look at him, but was still a bit curious.

"Aren't you a True Disciple? When did you become the Temple Master?"

Xiao Sheng sat up instantly.

"That's not important. After all, with someone as excellent as me, who in the temple can compete with me for the position of Temple Master? It's not strange for me to be the master."

"Alright, Old Zhou, I'm ready."

Xiao Sheng closed his eyes and opened his chest, looking like he was ready to sacrifice his life.

"Since we can't get out, don't waste your energy. Do it!"

Xiao Sheng gritted his teeth, closed his eyes tighter and tighter, and hearing the gibberish coming from Zhou Yan's side, his legs couldn't stop shaking.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yan had already boarded the dragon boat and started trying to leave, ignoring Xiao Sheng.

Xiao Sheng kept his pose while trembling all over. After a long time, his clothes were soaked in sweat, but he didn't see Zhou Yan make a move, so he had to bite the bullet and try to persuade him.

"Old Zhou, at a time like this, don't be soft-hearted!"

"You are much stronger than me. Only if you get out can you save more people. My living only holds you back, so do it, just consider it for the sake of the people of the Southern Desert!"

"I only hope that after I die, you can set up a memorial tablet for me and put it back in Kurong Temple, so that the people will remember me a little."

After waiting a while longer, a cool breeze blew, making Xiao Sheng, whose clothes were soaked, shiver.

"Wait, isn't this a sealed space? Where did the wind come from?" Xiao Sheng opened his eyes and didn't see Zhou Yan. He hurriedly looked around and finally found Zhou Yan behind him.

At this moment, Zhou Yan was holding a Recording Stone, leaning against the metal door frame and watching him.

"You guy, don't record this!"

Xiao Sheng instantly lost his cool and rushed towards Zhou Yan.

"Tsk tsk, it looks like you can't stop him."

Arthur held a glass of red wine, watching the scene in front of him, while beside him was a glowing head; the words just now were spoken by it.

"Kun Gou, I let you speak, but not to make sarcastic remarks."

Arthur elegantly drank the last sip of red wine and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth.

"Gao... Sigh, losing a good helper is indeed quite troublesome. I don't know if I can get him back after the mission ends."

Kun Gou seemed not to notice Arthur's mood and continued to say mockingly.

"That kind of guy, if he dies, he dies. What's there to care about? If you ask me, you ants are all the same: you value emotions on one hand, and send people on dangerous missions on the other."

"A bunch of hypocrites thinking about this and that all day. It would be better to honestly go home and farm. By then, if you worship your Lord Kun Gou, I might even be able to bless you with good weather, hahahaha."

"Bang."

The wine glass shattered in Arthur's hand. Immediately after, a surge of the Power of Law wrapped around the broken glass, and Arthur gripped it and stabbed it fiercely into Kun Gou's eye socket.

Then, one hand pressed down on Kun Gou's head, while the other hand slammed into the bottom of the wine glass.

Feeling the erosion from the Power of Law at his eye socket, Kun Gou let out a scream, but still stubbornly shouted loudly.

"Aaaaah!"

"You bastard, do you really think torture works on me!"

"If torture were useful, do you think I would have fallen into your hands!"

After throwing a few punches, Arthur smoothed his hair and took a deep breath.

"As expected, emotions shouldn't be suppressed. Letting it out really makes me feel a lot better."

Ignoring Kun Gou, Arthur straightened his tie and turned to leave.

"If you don't want to talk, you'd better keep it bottled up."

"The next time I come back will be your last chance to speak."

"Anyway, by then, my plan will have failed, and it will be perfect to leave you here as an apology gift for them."

Walking to the main entrance, the door opened upon sensing him. Arthur took two steps and stopped, slightly turning his head.

"I hope that when you see Zhou Yan, you can still be as stubborn."

After Arthur finished speaking, the door was closed, leaving only Kun Gou's head behind, cursing loudly.

"You bastard, you can't hand me over to Meng Zhang, do you hear me! Come back!"

"Ah! You Lower Realm mongrel, do you know what it means for him to obtain me!"

"Hey!!!"

The wine glass stuck in Kun Gou's face, following the violent changes in his facial expressions, kept cutting into his flesh, causing earthy yellow blood to splatter and soak the table.

Outside the door, Arthur was pressing against the door, eavesdropping, trying to hear something through the other party's exasperation.

But other than the two words "Meng Zhang", there was no useful information at all.

"Sigh." With a long sigh, Arthur covered his face with a look of misery. "What is this all about."

Arthur, who had originally intended to use Long Tianxing's Luck to hedge and achieve his plan, was now deeply trapped in the influence of Luck.

Arthur had originally arranged for Isaac to act as his eyes and ears, helping him monitor the progress in the Eastern Region in real-time.

Upon learning that they had made a move, he also acted decisively. The final result was within his expectations; those who hadn't anticipated that both sides would proceed simultaneously were locked outside the barrier, and neither side made it in time.

This naturally provided an excellent environment for their plan.

At that time, Arthur had the Body Integration Stage Ke Yan in his hand, and there were no Cultivators above the Soul Transformation stage inside the barrier.

This meant that within the barrier, the Truth Cult, possessing three Body Integration Stage combatants, had unparalleled dominance and could turn everything into experimental subjects without needing to consider the cost of resistance.

Although one of them, Schrödinger, was severely injured and out of commission, it was of no consequence.

Arthur attributed all of this to Long Tianxing's Luck at work; it was Luck creating an extremely difficult environment to temper Long Tianxing, which just happened to benefit them.

But the slap in the face came too quickly.

First, Isaac's loss of contact meant he didn't know the situation in the Eastern Region. In his desperation, he had to deploy Ke Yan early, without having time to conduct more experiments, which led to Ke Yan having problems and rebelling.

Even his capable subordinate didn't return, and it is suspected that they have already been killed by them.

Fortunately, the coalition's surprise attack and the battle with the large number of clones he had prepared long ago just happened to trigger the awakening of the War Knight.

Without time to prepare more, Arthur directly shoved the clone of Xiao Sheng, created using King Dong, into it.

The moment the War Knight was activated, Arthur thought he was going to win, but then a giant sword suddenly rose from the coalition, shattering all his illusions.

This wasn't the end. Just as the War Knight fell, Isaac, who had been unreachable, made contact again.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Isaac who spoke, but the Inquisition of the Truth Cult.

They coldly informed him that the other five sects were arriving one after another and were about to judge them as sinners.

And he would also be arrested as an accomplice of Isaac, provided he could return from the Southern Desert alive.

It was through this communication that Arthur realized the excellent situation in the Eastern Region had completely collapsed in just two days, ending in total failure.

Calculating the time, they might not have even collected the data on the Victory Knight.

Just two days ago, they still held the advantage; that scene of vibrant life and all things competing for growth was still before his eyes, yet in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a handful of dust.

If it weren't for the barrier sealing him in, Arthur would probably have run away long ago.

Releasing the Incarnation consciousness of Kun Gou was also with the hope of redeeming himself, asking if he could get any useful information; it was a case of clutching at straws.

But looking at it now.

"Sigh, fighting against Luck is really a doomed layout."

Just as Arthur intended to contact Schrödinger and prepare for a final struggle, he unexpectedly discovered Wang Yao's actions.
