Chapter 1661: Lingxu Prepares for War

When Chen Ling's thoughts returned, the members of the Twilight Society had already scattered rapidly under Liu Qingyan's command.

Since Lord Lingxu had declared war and was determined to wipe out the Twilight Society, Chen Ling naturally couldn't give him another chance... The target of all Twilight Society members gathered together was too large; breaking into smaller units would minimize the risk.

"Lord Red King." Diamond Q didn't leave immediately, but walked up with a grave expression.

"I have searched for a long time as you requested... but I haven't found Mr. Han. It seems he went missing before the Cangyun Domain was destroyed."

Chen Ling's brows furrowed slightly.

The last time Mr. Han appeared was when he was fulfilling his promise to help Kong Baosheng lock in his final vitality... Before that, he hadn't taken any action. Whether it was the death of Lord Nanhai, the death of Lord Cangyun, or the subsequent extinction of the domain, he hadn't made a single move, as if he had evaporated from the world.

But Chen Ling knew very well that, given Mr. Han's personality, it was impossible for him to sit idly by while all this happened. Coupled with his mysterious disappearance now, Chen Ling guessed that he had likely met with an accident...

But in the current human domains, who would come to deal with a Mr. Han who only wanted to save people?

Chen Ling pondered for a long time, and a vague guess appeared in his mind.

Just then,

a figure pushing a wheelchair slowly walked toward them.

"Senior Chu?" Chen Ling saw him out of the corner of his eye and immediately snapped back to reality. "Why are you here... didn't I tell you to get some good rest?"

At this moment, Chu Muyun was sitting in a wheelchair, wrapped up tightly, with only half of his pale face exposed to the air. Behind him, Bai Ye was steadily pushing the wheelchair toward them.

Chu Muyun smiled. "Staying in the room all the time is really quite boring... so I thought I'd come out for a stroll."

Chen Ling saw Chu Muyun's increasingly thin frame and couldn't help but speak up:

"Senior Chu, this world is already beyond saving... you should prioritize taking care of your own health."

"Even if this world is beyond saving, there is always the next world." Chu Muyun shook his head. "Once I obtain the virus antibody, as long as I inject it into your body, it will be with you... That way, when we reach the next world, your blood can become a secret weapon against the plague."

Chu Muyun paused for a moment and added, "And you said it yourself, this world is beyond saving... Since that's the case, I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well make some contribution to the humans of the next world."

With Chu Muyun speaking to this point, the words of comfort that had reached Chen Ling's lips were forced back down.

In the end, Chu Muyun had spent his life healing the sick and saving people; he couldn't bear to watch so many people die from illness... Whether it was this world or the next, as long as his antibody could play even the slightest role, he would do it.

"Heart, what's the plan now?" Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua walked to his side. "Go to the Lingxu Domain and slaughter Lord Lingxu?"

Chen Ling was a bit surprised. "You can solo Lord Lingxu??"

"Uh..." Sun Bumian thought seriously for a long time. "No... he's too strong. Even in my prime, I probably wouldn't be his match."

"And Lord Lingxu is likely very skilled at fighting on his home turf." Bai Ye added. "I went to the Lingxu Domain a few months ago; there are mathematical formulas hidden in many places there... even I could only understand half of them."

"You could understand half?" Chen Ling was incredibly surprised.

"Is it that hard... even an ordinary doctor could understand that much."

Chen Ling: ...

"In any case... wanting to kill Lord Lingxu in the Lingxu Domain is as difficult as ascending to heaven." Chen Ling mused. "Even releasing the complete Calamity of Mockery might not be enough."

"Since that's the case..."

Chen Ling paused for a moment and slowly looked up toward a certain direction.

"Perhaps it's time to go to the Tianxue Domain again."

……

Lingxu Domain.

A figure draped in gray monk's robes walked slowly through the corridors of the Lingxu base. The cold winter wind swept through the semi-open corridor, causing the hem of his robes to flutter.

He gently pushed open the office door. Several figures were already standing respectfully in front of the desk, waiting.

Seeing Lord Lingxu enter, the expressions of the few became visibly tense.

Lord Lingxu kept his head lowered, not even glancing at them, and walked straight to his chair to sit down... His gaze swept over the empty desk, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Where is the coffee?"

"It will be here immediately, Lord Lingxu... Shall we start the report first?"

Lord Lingxu waved his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose with two fingers, and said faintly, "Wait until the coffee arrives."

"...Yes."

The group stood stiffly in front of the desk, saying nothing.

After waiting for about a minute, a figure finally hurried in with the coffee. Lord Lingxu didn't care if it was hot or not; he tilted his head back and took a large gulp, and only then did some color finally return to his face.

"Speak."

"Yes." One of them took the initiative to speak. "The Cangyun Domain has sent a lot of manpower this time, which can meet most of our needs. At this rate, the repair progress of the Akashic Tower will accelerate a bit more..."

"Coupled with our current means of increasing human efficiency in this domain, the workers' efficiency has improved again, and we should be able to complete the repairs within the expected time."

"Very good." Lord Lingxu nodded. "Can it be faster?"

"Faster?? This..."

"Has the Tianxue Domain sent anyone at all?"

"...That is exactly what I was about to report to you." Another person hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Since yesterday, our connection with the Tianxue Domain seems to have been cut off..."

"Aren't we already not using electronic equipment for communication?"

"Yes, but the [Arrows] we sent to the Tianxue Domain have received no replies."

Lord Lingxu's brows furrowed slightly.

The man continued:

"The letters sent by [Arrows] should be 100% delivered to their destination. Now that there is no reply, either there is a problem in the Tianxue Domain and they are unable to reply, or..."

He didn't finish the second half of the sentence... and he didn't dare to.

After all, it directly concerned the relationship between the last two human domains, and... the relationship between the two Nine Lords.

"I see."

Lord Lingxu lowered his head and drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp.

He slowly stood up from his seat and said in a deep voice, "Do not send any more [Arrows] to the Tianxue Domain... From today on, the Lingxu Domain enters a closed state. No one is allowed to enter or leave at will..."

"Notify those top human combatants who are still outside to return to the city immediately. Have the Knights Templar strengthen patrols within the domain and reconnaissance outside the domain. Do not let any suspicious personnel in..."

"The Lingxu Domain enters a state of war readiness."
