This assassin is upright

Chapter 301 Returning Home, Blue Star's Predicament (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Blue Star, the Temple of Divine Revelation.

The nine strongest individuals gathered together for another regular meeting of the strongest.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

Zhu Xiuming tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, looking at Ji Ruoxu sitting below him. "Old Ji, how's the situation in the Fourth Divine District?"

“The situation is not good.” Ji Ruoxu shook his head slightly. “Enji, the God of Holy Blessing, is as friendly to us as ever.”

"However, not all the powerful figures in the Fourth Divine District are happy to see cooperation between our two worlds."

“The opposition is growing louder, which often leads to some unpleasant situations in our cooperation with the Fourth Divine District.”

"It's always better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help," Zhu Xiuming sighed softly, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Old Ji, do you think all of this is normal?"

His question seemed abrupt and unrelated, but Ji Ruoxu understood his meaning. After a moment of contemplation, Ji Ruoxu shook his head slightly.

"That's not normal."

"According to what I've learned so far, the voices opposing the cooperation between the Fourth Divine District and our Blue Star are growing louder, which is actually related to the fierce competition among the Divine Sons of the Fourth Divine District."

“Enji’s disciple Helmod is the Ninth Divine Child and also Yu Zhun’s good friend. The Eighth and Seventh Divine Children suffered a great loss under their joint efforts, so they tried to break up our cooperation. This is actually related to that.”

"If that were all, the opposition wouldn't be this intense." Ji Ruoxu paused slightly. "But I've heard that two of the opposing third-tier powerhouses..."

"He has a very good relationship with Lorcras."

Upon hearing this name, the eyes of the nine supreme experts present sharpened simultaneously.

"Sure enough, I knew it! Everything's been going wrong on our Blue Star lately, it must be related to this old bastard!" Tang Yulong slammed his hand on the table, his face flushed with anger, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

The others also looked unwell.

It has been almost a year since the last time the asylum fee was paid to Lorcras.

The contract was about to end.

Blue Star must identify a protector and reach a contract as soon as possible, otherwise the world will irreversibly enter a state of duplication.

In previous years, the protection fee would have been paid to Lorcras at a rate of 10,000 God and Demon Medals per year.

But Lorcras had previously stated that this year's fee would be increased to 50,000 God and Demon Medals, which was clearly bullying.

In addition, given the numerous excessive actions the other party had taken in the past, the nine supreme beings of Blue Star had already reached a consensus to choose a new protector.

Originally, they had already contacted Yora, who agreed to take over the protection of Blue Star from Lorcras, and the fee for protection was very reasonable, only 2000 God and Demon Medals per year.

However, as the time for the handover approached, the nine strongest beings on Blue Star were unable to contact the other party.

Moreover, thanks to Yu Zhun's previous adventures, Blue Star had already gained a certain reputation among the 100,000 servers, and had attracted many powerful server worlds to cooperate with it.

To date, Blue Star has established cooperative relationships with 23 server worlds, but in the past few days, 12 of these servers have changed their minds and unilaterally terminated their cooperation with Blue Star.

This sudden betrayal caught Blue Star completely off guard.

A day after the incident, Ji Ruoxu learned from one of the otherworldly powerhouses with whom he had a good relationship that the protectors of these 12 server worlds all had some connection with Lorcras.

All of this was caused by Lorcras!
The difference in strength between the 12 server worlds that betrayed them and Blue Star is not that great, so this is not a very serious situation for Blue Star.

However, shortly afterward, the relationship between the Fourth Divine District and Blue Star, which had been in a honeymoon period, took a sharp turn for the worse.

Several areas of cooperation that were originally agreed upon were temporarily shelved due to unpleasant circumstances that arose for both parties.

"What exactly does that old man mean?" Tang Yulong couldn't help but look at Zhu Xiuming. "Why are you so eager to get rid of us?"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Xiuming's eyes gradually darkened.

"Perhaps, He wants more."

"If I'm not mistaken, Jora's disappearance is very likely related to the other party as well."

"Jora too?" Tang Yulong asked, somewhat taken aback. "How does he know about Jora's relationship with us?"

"Have you forgotten?" Ji Ruoxu glanced helplessly at Tang Yulong. "Yora intervened when Augustine was killed."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yulong fell silent.

Oh right, he almost forgot.

Jora had made a move once before, and perhaps it was at that time that Lorcras analyzed the relationship between Blue Star and Jora, guessed Blue Star's reliance, and therefore used some means to prevent them from contacting Jora.

"They've cut off our support, severed our allies..." Ji Ruoxu's expression was grave. "Using so many connections to target Blue Star, Lorcras must have paid a heavy price. If I'm not mistaken..."

“The next time He appears, He will want more than just 50,000 medals.”

"The legendary equipment left behind by Yu Zhun is a considerable fortune. With the help of that equipment, Blue Star has become increasingly wealthy."

"Lorcras has likely set his sights on these."

"Boom!"

Zhu Xiuming slammed his fist heavily on the table, his scarred face revealing undisguised ferocity. "Lorcras!"

After a long while, he slowly calmed down the surging anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and sat down again.

"How long has Yu Zhun been in the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm]?"

“It’s been three months.” Ji Ruoxu spoke quickly, then sighed. “According to Yu Zhun, it’s a place that can be directly compared to the [Divine Revelation World].

“It’s quite normal for people to return to places like that after several years.” Ji Ruoxu paused, then added, “I estimate that we probably can’t count on that child this time.”

As Ji Ruoxu finished speaking, the room fell silent.

"Is there any way we can contact one or two third-tier powerhouses to act as protectors?" Thorne asked slowly. "What about Enji?"

"No." Ji Ruoxu shook his head slightly.

"I mentioned this matter to the other party. According to him, the third-tier powerhouses of the Fourth God Zone protect other servers, and the corresponding servers must sign a contract and become subordinate to the Fourth God Zone."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately abandoned their idea of ​​seeking help from the Fourth Divine District.

The relationship between Earth and the Fourth Divine Region is one of cooperation, not subordination.

This is the absolute bottom line.

"Have we had any other gods with whom we've had a better relationship over the years?" Lillian asked, resting her chin on her hand, looking troubled.

The nine supreme experts looked at each other and fell silent.

Zhu Xiuming shook his head helplessly.

"If all else fails, I'll try asking server 39393."

Because of the connections between Zhu Xiuming and the elders, the Lord of Dengshen Pavilion, and Yu Zhun and Lu Wen, the younger generation, server 39393 currently has the best relationship with Blue Star.

He was willing to swallow his pride and see if the Master of the Ascending God Pavilion had any solutions.

The other eight supreme experts nodded helplessly.

Right now, it seems that only…

"Report!"

An excited shout came from outside the door, and a figure knocked on the conference room door a few times before rushing in.

The nine supreme experts simultaneously revealed expressions of dissatisfaction.

How can the meeting of the strongest be disturbed so easily?
Looking at the guard who had come to deliver the message, Zhu Xiuming, already in a bad mood, snorted, "We'll talk about it later!"

"My lords, Yu Zhun is back!" the guard hurriedly announced. Yu Zhun is back?
The meeting room suddenly fell silent.

Realizing what this meant, the nine supreme experts stood up simultaneously and quickly surrounded the guards.

Just a second ago, Zhu Xiuming had told the guard to "talk about it later," but now he was grabbing the guard by the collar, his eyes wide, "Where is he?"

“In…in…” Overwhelmed by the pressure of the nine supreme experts, the guard, who was also at the second level of strength, turned pale instantly and could not speak. In the end, he could only point to the outside of the conference room.

Two figures, a man and a woman, walked step by step from outside the door.

"Nine seniors, please don't make things difficult for them." Yu Zhun smiled wryly. "We're here."

"Shh!"

The nine supreme experts instantly abandoned the guards who had brought the message and surrounded Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu, showering them with concern and care.

The guards, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, hurriedly withdrew.

That's terrible. I should have known he sent someone else to deliver the message.

Although he couldn't hear the voices of the supreme experts mixed together, a hint of warmth still welled up in Yu Zhun's eyes.

It's so nice to have the concern of family.

"Seniors, please don't rush, let's talk slowly."

“Yes, yes, take your time.” Ji Ruoxu pulled Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu into the conference room and then closed the door again.

"Sit down and tell me about your experiences in the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm]."

“Alright.” Yu Zhun glanced at Yu Zhu beside him and gave a general account of their experiences in the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm].

Upon hearing that the master of the Heavenly Ruins Divine Palace was using a secret realm to suppress powerful figures, and after learning about the Heavenly Ruins Dojo and God 1's plans, the nine supreme experts all showed expressions of shock and melancholy that lingered for a long time.

Although Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu still addressed them as "seniors," and although their strength was still only at the first level, in terms of knowledge, the nine of them were far inferior to Yu Zhun and Yu Zhun.

After briefly recounting their experiences, Yu Zhun couldn't help but ask, "How has Blue Star been doing while I was away?"

Upon hearing this, the nine supreme experts fell even more silent.

After all, with Yu Zhun gone, these nine "seniors" even found it difficult to stabilize the situation on Blue Star, which was truly disheartening.

But regardless, Yu Zhun still needs to be informed of the situation.

"Let me explain," Zhu Xiuming sighed and began to recount the situation on Blue Star that had been discussed at the previous meeting.

After listening, Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu's expressions both became serious.

Unexpectedly, so much happened in the short three months they were gone.

Fortunately, they brought some things from the treasure hall of the God and Demon Palace that could solve the current situation.

Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu smiled at each other and took out the Monster Egg and the Divine Beast Egg from their backpacks respectively.

Two eggs, each as tall as a person, appeared in the conference room, and the expressions of the nine supreme experts changed simultaneously.

They sensed a chilling power emanating from the two eggs.

They even had a feeling that once the two eggs hatched, the beings inside would possess power greater than their own.

"These are two eggs of third-tier beasts. Once they hatch, they will possess the strength of Lv91 and will be absolutely loyal to their master." Seeing what everyone was thinking, Yu Zhun introduced, "Just exchanging for them cost a full 120 million God and Demon Medals."

"As long as the protectors can take over the hatching of them, Blue Star will no longer have to worry about the protector problem."

"The two that hatch can also serve as protectors."

"There are actually such good things!" Zhu Xiuming and the others were all moved.

But considering that exchanging these two eggs would require 120 million God and Demon Medals, the group of supreme experts fell silent again.

At that price, even selling all nine of them together wouldn't be enough.

"What if they can't hatch in a short time?" Tang Yulong couldn't help but step forward and touch the two eggs before asking.

“Yes,” Ji Ruoxu nodded slightly. “These two eggs can indeed resolve the current crisis, but there is still uncertainty.”

"If they take too long to hatch..."

"Then everything is still unknown."

“I understand.” Yu Zhun smiled, put away the two eggs, and glanced at the scarlet line on the back of his right hand.

After leaving the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm], his connection with the Crimson Demon Lord could be felt again.

“Calling Opellich.”

As he finished speaking, the scarlet patterns suddenly burst forth with a bright light, and a ball of scarlet energy emerged from the patterns, transforming into a phantom figure.

Sensing the immense power emanating from this figure, the strongest individuals present simultaneously changed color, revealing expressions of vigilance.

"Tsk tsk tsk, where did you come from?" The Crimson Demon Lord's voice still carried a hint of cynicism. "Yu Zhun, you went missing a while ago, I almost thought you were dead."

"I haven't returned the medal to you yet, I won't die." Yu Zhun chuckled. "I just went to the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm]."

The avatar of the Crimson Demon Lord suddenly trembled, and in the next instant, due to the intense emotional fluctuations, it could not maintain its form and turned into a ball of energy.

"Where did you go?!"

“The Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm, huh?” Yu Zhun chuckled.

The Crimson Demon Lord suddenly fell silent.

That place is Tianxu's private reserve.

Yu Zhun, that kid, actually has the ability to go there?

He gave Yu Zhun a deep look. "Alright, you didn't call me here just to talk about this, did you?"

"No, that won't do." Yu Zhun shook his head slightly. "Could you do me a favor?"

"To act as our protector for a year?"

"...Tch!" The Crimson Demon Lord couldn't help but scoff. "Do you think I need your protection fee?"

"Only gods can offer protection; you've come to the wrong person."

"It's nothing," Yu Zhun said, unconcerned.

After learning the difference between the divine and demonic systems in the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm], he also understood why protectors exist.

The annual protection fee is just a small part; for a pantheon, protecting a world means gaining the faith power of that world.

Therefore, only a pantheon would do such a thing.

He was not at all surprised by the Crimson Demon Lord's rejection.

Or rather, his original intention in bringing this up was to get the Crimson Demon Lord to refuse.

In this way, he can then make his next request in a logical manner.

"Then tell me, how can I speed up the hatching of the monster eggs?"

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Demon Lord fell silent again. "You brat... you've gained quite a few benefits from the [Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm], haven't you?"

You've even gotten the Warcraft Egg?
