Chapter 745: Eve of Chaos

"The Red King is worthy of being the Red King, he left so gracefully."

Jian Changsheng looked at the curtain disappearing in the void and couldn't help but sigh.

After Master left, under the lead-gray clouds, only Chen Ling and Jian Changsheng remained. They stood at the end of the broken tracks, the large red opera robe and black hem fluttering in the wind.

"Sometimes, I really envy you." Jian Changsheng turned to look at Chen Ling.

"Envy what?"

"You have a backer! We are both of the [6] generation, I’m still struggling and running around everywhere, and you’ve directly broken into the high-level inner circle and become the Red King’s personal disciple... That is the invincible contemporary era. In the entire Twilight Society, who has this treatment?"

Chen Ling was silent for a long time before speaking, "...But I don't know why they chose me either."

"The result is already here, does the reason still matter?" Jian Changsheng clicked his tongue. "But then again..."

"Again what?"

"I’m just a passer-by~ how dare I compare myself to you, the protagonist~"

Jian Changsheng rolled his eyes and spoke sarcastically.

Chen Ling: ...

"I’m just a lowly life~ I was meant to be your stepping stone~~~"

"...That wasn't what I said."

"It came out of your mouth!"

"Don't count what [Mockery] said on me; I’ve never thought that way."

"...Hmph."

Jian Changsheng looked at his clenched fist. "Don't say, the feeling of smashing your broken face with my fist was actually quite good... It’s a pity I only got one punch in."

Chen Ling couldn't be bothered to bicker with him. He turned and walked along the black rails toward the end of the earth.

Seeing Chen Ling leave, Jian Changsheng, who was still intoxicated by the pleasure of that punch, immediately woke up and ran along the other side of the rails to catch up... One red and one black figure walked side by side along the sides of the rails.

In this Gray World, only staying by Chen Ling’s side was the safest.

"Speaking of which, when will that dog Lord Wuji die?" Jian Changsheng looked back at the decaying wooden rails extending in another direction.

"...I don't know."

Chen Ling paused for a moment. "But it shouldn't be now."

"But hasn't the adjudication delegation already gone?" Jian Changsheng thought for a moment. "Now Lord Wuji is just a ball, without consciousness, unable to attack, what other variables could there be?"

Chen Ling did not answer.

He couldn't predict the future, so naturally, he couldn't know where the variables would come from. He only knew that he had met Ying Fu in the Era Archive, and Ying Fu had said that the USB drive he used to enter the Era Archive was replicated by Lord Wuji, Lou Yu...

In Lord Wuji’s current state, he definitely couldn't replicate a USB drive, so that event likely happened in the future. In other words, Lord Wuji shouldn't die in the short term, at least he would survive this trial by the adjudication delegation.

And Master didn't let them go directly to the Wuji Domain, mostly because Master also sensed something and felt that there would be variables in the Wuji Domain, so he let them go to the Tian-Shu Domain first to avoid being implicated.

"The Wuji Domain... is probably going to be in chaos."

Chen Ling spoke slowly.

……

Wuji Domain.

Under the gray-hazy sky, dozens of figures stepped on the uneven stone brick road, walking through the deserted streets.

It was only evening, but under the cover of the clouds, no light could be seen. The streetlights on both sides of the road were not lit, as if the power supply had been lost for a long time... Fortunately, the adjudication delegation was well-prepared, and basically everyone had a kerosene lamp. Looking from a distance, it was like a stream of light flowing through this dim city.

Their gazes swept vigilantly around, but the streets were empty, with no enemies, no passers-by, and no sound, like a dead city.

"It seems the power supply system is also broken."

An adjudication agent at the front of the queue said in a deep voice, "No wonder information transmission is impossible... No, it’s hard to say if the department responsible for information transmission still exists."

"But at least, people are still alive."

Hong Xiu looked at the silent buildings in the darkness. She could feel numerous gazes being cast from all directions, vigilantly and curiously sizing up this team from outside.

"What exactly happened here to make these residents so afraid?"

"And, living in this oppressive atmosphere, won't their mental state have problems..."

"Among this group of people, there are quite a few possessors of the Witch God Path, but they don't seem to have any malice. They shouldn't be members of the Witchcraft Association from Brand’s faction."

"Didn't they say Brand bathed Wuji in blood and had almost killed all the other factions?"

"The paths of the Witch God Path are as numerous as the stars in the sky, and there are countless large and small factions. How could they be killed in just a few days? Most likely, he killed those high-level, threatening existences to keep them from becoming a climate."

"No wonder, the ranks of these people are not high..."

Just as everyone was discussing, Hong Xiu, who was walking at the front, slowly stopped.

"Let’s stop here," Hong Xiu said calmly. "Further ahead should be Lord Wuji’s church... We should separate here.

All adjudication agents come with me, others follow the division of labor before coming, quickly disperse to various areas, soothe the emotions of the civilians in the Wuji Domain, provide logistical support, and start building the 'Bridge' as soon as possible... to prevent accidents."

"Yes."

The next moment, everyone quickly dispersed from the street. The originally gathered stream of light seemed to scatter like starlight, separating into every corner of the city...

In the end, only five figures remained standing on the spot.

They came from different domains, but they were all the top combat power of each domain. Except for Hong Xiu, everyone else carried various strange items on their bodies; those were the foundations accumulated by each domain over more than three hundred years.

Although they were all Tier 8, with the help of these foundations, they could all achieve short-term confrontation with demigod levels. If the five of them joined forces, even if they faced a demigod in their prime, they could suppress them. If it weren't for this, the other major domains wouldn't have sent them as adjudication agents to kill Lord Wuji.

"Let’s go..." Hong Xiu wore a black law enforcement windbreaker and walked straight toward the towering church, her red hair dancing like fire in the darkness.

From this moment on, Hong Xiu no longer hid her aura.

The Tier 8 pressure erupted from the hem of her windbreaker. The ferocity and sharpness of the [Asura] leader were like a hurricane, sweeping across the city in an instant, and the other four adjudication agents followed closely, releasing their pressure at the same time!

In this dim and dead city, the aura of the five people was like a scorching sun, forcibly tearing through the haze covering the sky, like a holy sword from the light, pointing directly at the center of the Wuji Domain!

There, a church shrouded in dark clouds stood silently.
