Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 359: Chapter 204: Fanning the Flames (Part 3)

Moreover, judging by the situation, Meng Yawen and the helmeted man should be part of the same organization, and judging from their status within it, Meng Yawen holds a higher position.

Fang Hui’s luck with choosing partners has truly been constant; previously it was either a bad woman or a yandere, and now he’s found a yandere bad woman, and one with notable connections at that.

Looks like he’s set for this lifetime.

After giving instructions, Meng Yawen left the hotel by the stairs.

Soon after she left, a person suddenly appeared in front of her, waving and greeting her.

Meng Yawen frowned; she wasn’t in the mood to deal with someone trying to hit on her.

Wu Chang asked in a mysterious tone, ”Miss, are you looking for someone?”

Upon hearing this, Meng Yawen tensed up and scrutinized the stranger in front of her, asking:

”Who are you, and how do you know?”

Wu Chang saw no need to be secretive and directly said, ”I was just resting on the top floor of Hotel 88 and happened to overhear your conversation.”

Meng Yawen asked, ”Do you know who I’m looking for?”

Wu Chang said, ”I can make a rough guess. Two days ago, a clueless ordinary person accidentally wandered in here, he’s probably the one you’re looking for.”

Meng Yawen maintained her composure and asked, ”What do you want?”

Wu Chang shrugged, saying, ”Just consider me a passing Good Samaritan, I want the Pillar of the Present World, which you can’t give me.”

Meng Yawen: ”If you have the skills to take it, I promise not to stop you.”

Wu Chang didn’t continue being cryptic and directly said, ”Yesterday, in a deeper part of the stone temple underground, I saw that ordinary person. You might want to ask the guy you were just talking to, he should know how to get there.”

Meng Yawen nodded, ”Got it. I’ll investigate.”

No matter how worried she was about Fang Hui’s safety, she wouldn’t act rashly based on a stranger’s word.

The more urgent the situation, the more she needed to stay calm, carefully formulating a plan, confirming all factors before moving forth.

Seeing that Meng Yawen wasn’t in a rush, Wu Chang suddenly seemed to remember something and said:

”Oh, there’s something I almost forgot. When I was leaving yesterday, I coincidentally encountered the Bliss Sect bringing in a dozen curvaceous young women dressed scantily into the stone temple, claiming to hold some sort of ritual today.”

”Really envious of that guy, dozens of young, beautiful women, why don’t I ever get this kind of luck?”

After saying this, Wu Chang could noticeably feel Meng Yawen’s aura change.

Meng Yawen asked nearly word for word, ”Are you sure?”

Wu Chang, with a casual expression, said, ”It’s not like it’s something threatening that guy’s life, would I need to lie to you about something minor like this?”

”Thank you for the information, I have other matters, I’ll be off first. If what you’ve said is true, my previous promise remains valid.”

After finishing, Meng Yawen turned around and headed back to the hotel.

A few minutes later, Wu Chang, squatting on a nearby rooftop, saw Meng Yawen and the helmeted man hurrying toward the Paradise Cathedral.

It looks like, besides the power station, the Paradise Cathedral also leads further underground.

Wu Chang hummed music back to the room, He Yun looked at him curiously and asked, ”You seem to be in a good mood, what did you do out there?”

Wu Chang proudly said, ”Ran into some acquaintances willing to scout for us. With them around, dealing with the Bliss Sect will save us quite a bit of trouble.”

”Give them a short period to scout ahead, we should also prepare to act.”

Wu Chang and He Yun waited an hour, ensuring they wouldn’t meet the helmeted man at the power station before the two went to the power station’s circuit passageway, heading all the way to the deepest part.

Up ahead, beyond the dense Calamity Fog, was the gateway leading further underground.

Before entering, Wu Chang opened the walkie-talkie left by Gu Feng, summoning him over.

Ever since seeing Zhuo Jie’s grievances, he’d been pondering one thing.

About the artificial Pillar of the Present World, did Gu Feng, who guards here, know the whole story?

Wu Chang guessed Gu Feng did know; from Gu Feng’s attitude towards He Yun, it was clear Gu Feng knew He Yun was someone special.

Gu Feng knows about the artificial Pillar of the Present World, but which side does the Management Bureau, represented by Gu Feng, stand on compared to the overtly dominating Bliss Sect?

Wu Chang tended to think not on the same side.

Not to mention, the Four Major Organizations and the Evil God followers are intrinsically opposing forces.

Even if both sides collaborated, the problem remains that the Pillar of the Present World is unique.

Who ultimately claims it?

For a long time, the Management Bureau had stationed personnel to guard the Underground Shelter, clearly indicating its ownership by the Bureau.

However, the Bliss Sect’s movements in the Stone Temple are likely attempts to utilize the Divine Power there through Fang Hui.

What can one do with Divine Power? Most likely change the owner of the Pillar of the Present World.

Would the Management Bureau agree? Surely not.

There already existed a conflict between the Management Bureau and the Bliss Sect, and now the involvement of Meng Yawen and the helmeted man adds more variables.

Because the force behind the helmeted man intends to destroy the Pillar of the Present World.

This, in turn, conflicts with both the Management Bureau and the Bliss Sect.

If Wu Chang wants to seize this Pillar of the Present World, he must settle the three forces, but he is, after all, a Player of the Desolate Realm, and even with his Sea Giant transformation to stack attributes, he cannot withstand such consecutive battles.

It might be better to set the stage, bringing the three forces together, letting them fight until all are severely injured, and then stepping in to clean up.

Moreover, the chaos ensuing from their fight could boost his Knight of Strife passive abilities.

The Underground Shelter was still too peaceful; if no one sets the spark, he would.

After all, this was his Authority.

Not long after, Gu Feng arrived with two members of the Management Bureau.

Upon entering, he first glanced at He Yun, confirming he was unharmed, then glared at Wu Chang with annoyance.

”Is this the urgent emergency you mentioned?”

Wu Chang shared a glance with He Yun, both nodded slightly, then Wu Chang looked at Gu Feng and said:

”You see us unharmed, but actually, both He Yun and I have died once before. Every time He Yun dies, it triggers a time reversal across the entire Underground Shelter, the reversal point being this morning, which means, this is actually the third time we have met.”

Gu Feng felt his brain was about to overheat, holding up a hand in a pause gesture and said, ”Wait, let me think for a moment.”

This was exactly the result Wu Chang wanted, he couldn’t allow Gu Feng time to think.

He continued, ”The ones who killed me and He Yun are now further underground, planning to destroy this place, to ruin the Pillar of the Present World.”

”We’re going to settle the score now, do you want to come?”
