Chapter 638: Invading the Red Dust Base

Chu Muyun was back.

From the time Jian Changsheng sent the distress letter until now, a long time had indeed passed. But setting aside the delivery time of the letter itself, by the time Chu Muyun saw it, it was already a few days later... Then he packed his luggage, stepped on the realm train, transferred through three realms, and finally arrived at Red Dust.

Not just Jian Changsheng, but the other Dusk Society members present were pleasantly surprised to see Chu Muyun appear with Bai Ye on his back.

"Senior Chu! You finally came!"

"If it weren't for your ugly handwriting, which made me look for the opera house for a long time, I could have come even faster." Chu Muyun pushed his glasses, his gaze toward Jian Changsheng full of disdain.

Although he was retorted by Chu Muyun as soon as he appeared, Jian Changsheng was still happy. He looked at the unconscious Bai Ye on his back and couldn't help asking:

"Senior Bai Ye hasn't woken up yet?"

"Nightmares caused by black sorcery are not so easy to clear away. The ones who attacked him should be top-tier Seventh-orders, and there was more than one."

"You mean Senior Bai Ye was besieged by Seventh-orders in the Wuji Realm? Can he still wake up?"

"If it were someone else, it probably wouldn't be easy to clear these black sorceries." Chu Muyun looked at Bai Ye on his back and said indifferently, "But you are lucky to have found me."

"You have a way?"

"Hehehe." Heart 9 suddenly chuckled. "Newcomer, it seems you don't know yet? Our 'Corpse-Dissecting' Chu was originally from the Wuji Realm, and his path is also a bit eerie... He has come into contact with too many patients related to sorcery."

Chu Muyun ignored Heart 9 directly and continued:

"I have already cleared most of his black sorcery; the rest can only depend on himself. I heard from Square 10 that you were in a hurry to save Chen Ling and Club 8, so I just carried him over... Although he hasn't woken up yet, it shouldn't take too long."

Jack of Clubs nodded. "If Heart Q can wake up, our chances will be even greater."

Just then, Liu Qingyan suddenly spoke:

"Found it."

Everyone looked over at the same time. Liu Qingyan pointed to an inconspicuous little flower in a sea of white flowers and said firmly, "Lord Chen Ling is inside."

"Isn't that the Red Dust Realm... We just circled out, and now we have to circle back?"

"It's not the flower, it's the leaf below. The Red Dust base is right there."

"Leaf..."

Everyone's gaze fell on that leaf at the same time. Heart 9 raised his eyebrows slightly. "A guardian of the flowers... This Floating Life Painting is indeed interesting."

"This should be the domain of some Eighth-order, right? How should we get in?"

"If so many of us enter this domain, we will inevitably be discovered by its owner... Won't we be besieged as soon as we enter?"

"Leave it to me."

Jack of Clubs raised his hand, took off his black magician's top hat, and smiled slightly. "I'm very good at making people disappear."

After speaking, he walked to Liu Qingyan with his top hat and placed it gently on her head. The moment the hat was put on, Liu Qingyan seemed to be packed into the hat and disappeared instantly.

Immediately after, Jian Changsheng, Heart 9, Square 10, Chu Muyun, Bai Ye...

Everyone present was packed into the top hat by Jack of Clubs like a magic trick. Only Jack of Clubs remained standing in the swaying pale sea of flowers...

His magician's black robe fluttered in the wind, his fingertips pinching the edge of the top hat, and he placed it back on his head unhurriedly.

"Let's bring a little twilight shock to the Red Dust Base..."

The moment the top hat touched the Jack of Plum Blossoms, he and the hat vanished simultaneously. In the vast sea of flowers, there was no longer any human figure to be found, only pale flowers that would endure for eternity.

……

Red Dust Base.

"Old Lu."

"Good day, Old Lu."

“……”

A figure in white walked through the palace corridor, the eight-foot ink brush he carried particularly striking and conspicuous. As he passed, all the members of the Floating Life Painting and the young men in blue robes bowed respectfully in greeting.

Lu Liangren walked through the crowd with an expressionless face, his footsteps echoing under the hollowed-out dome, finally stopping before the relief-carved door in the deepest part of the hall.

"Have the calamities been cleared?" An abstract human face emerged from the blank frame of the relief door.

"Ninety percent cleared. There are still some smaller ones hiding well; it will take time to root them out one by one, so I've sent others to handle it." Lu Liangren paused for a moment.

"However, that largest intersection point in the sky is a problem."

"A problem?"

"I wouldn't exactly call it a problem... it's just that it's too large, and it's hanging right over the Red Dust main city. Although it's temporarily sealed by your painting, every time I look at it, I get the feeling... that something is about to crawl out of it."

"Calamities below the eighth rank shouldn't be able to crawl out in the short term." The Second Hall paused for a moment. "If it's an eighth-rank calamity, as long as the numbers aren't too high, the two of us can handle it."

"And what if it's a ninth-rank that crawls out?" Lu Liangren's voice was incredibly low.

"Do you really think the Jiangtian Sect summoned the [Breath] calamity?"

"I don't know... it's just that my intuition tells me that intersection point is very troublesome."

The Second Hall did not speak, and the air suddenly fell into silence... It was unknown how much time had passed before that abstract face slowly spoke:

"Let's hope your intuition is wrong... otherwise, the Red Dust Domain is in for big trouble."

"Aren't we already in big trouble?"

"We'll have to wait for the Sixth and Seventh to return before we can be sure..."

Before the Second Hall could finish, it suddenly seemed to sense something, and its abstract facial features froze.

The next moment, a splash of ink exploded out of thin air like a brilliant firework, and a blood-soaked figure fell to the ground from within it.

The Sixth Hall.

Seeing this, Lu Liangren's expression changed instantly. He stepped forward to help the Sixth Hall up, only to find that most of her body was mangled and bloody, her aura extremely weak.

"Where is the Seventh?!" Lu Liangren asked with a frown.

"To cover my retreat, he piled all his defenses onto me... he sacrificed himself." The Sixth Hall's face was deathly pale. As if remembering something, she gritted her teeth and said,

"That guy is simply too strong... without using that method, none of us would have escaped."

"Who?!"

"Lord Wuji."

The moment the name "Lord Wuji" was spoken, the air seemed to freeze.

Lu Liangren was stunned for a moment before he abruptly looked up, staring in disbelief at the Second Hall on the relief door... The Second Hall's abstract face showed no expression, but an extremely oppressive aura spread out from within the frame.

"Sixth, tell me everything that happened when you encountered them in the Wuji Domain... don't miss a single detail."
