Chapter 815: Chapter 32: Malignant Tumor

Several months passed, and Lu Shuai grew a small mustache. He spoke more slowly than before and became more composed.

"What do you want?" Chen Rutang asked. Although Lu Shuai’s qualifications were not enough to enter the Cabinet, as Chen Rutang’s secretary, he worked closely and could directly participate in the entire process. Everyone could see that Chen Rutang was paving the way for Lu Shuai.

The current Lu Shuai was no longer the second-generation who had just entered Dragon Capital years ago. He inherited Luthor’s fame and had a considerable following among the public. Many in the new social classes also held a good impression of him. He was brave and resourceful, and with Chen Rutang’s support, he had many opportunities to showcase his talents. Lu Shuai excelled at networking, able to deal with all sorts of people with remarkable diplomacy, handling many tasks that Chen Rutang could not. Some even said he had a bit of Ye Shidao’s capabilities in handling matters from back in the day.

Chen Rutang was a bit too rigid, and rigidity was useless in governing a nation, so other forces were willing to give face to Lu Shuai, allowing him to mediate. After all, given how well Chen Rutang handled the plague incident, it would be difficult to dethrone him in a short time.

"Teacher, the biggest tumor in the Li Long United Kingdom is the Potter Family. Without dismantling them, the nation cannot develop," Lu Shuai said. "We must have the resolve to remove the poison from the bone!"

Lu Shuai saw it very clearly. He knew of the consequences of such actions, but if he did not do so, all efforts would be wasted.

"Teacher, I am willing to be the vanguard!" Lu Shuai said.

Chen Rutang smiled slightly. "You cannot be this vanguard. I am the Grand Governor; I must handle it myself."

Outsiders thought Chen Rutang was the hardliner, but in truth, the real hardliner was Lu Shuai.

"Teacher, this is dangerous."

Chen Rutang chuckled, "I am old now. Do you think I am afraid of anything? Since there is no fortune to speak of, then let’s go to war. I want to see whether my life is harder or theirs is. But the Black Meteor Empire is a trouble!"

"Teacher, the rebellion of the gladiators in the Black Meteor Empire has not completely subsided. The flames of resistance, once ignited, are not so easily extinguished. We cannot let them idle; we need to assist those oppressed slaves," Lu Shuai said.

As the Black Meteor Empire, where the slave system still solidly prevailed, was increasingly influenced by external factors; however, it managed to sustain itself because most of its slaves were spoils of foreign conquests. Nearby small countries had all suffered, including the likes of Moncalleta and Li Long.

If the enemy has no activities, then find something for them to do; they cannot be too idle.

"The Hundred Martial Hall has already infiltrated. You can use them." Chen Rutang said.

Chen Rutang did not hide from Lu Shuai his role as the Inner Hall Master of the Hundred Martial Hall, yet this was known by very few.

"Yes, Teacher," Lu Shuai replied. He disliked defending, especially when faced with an enemy’s relentless advance. Offense was the best defense in his eyes. From the Celestial Principle School’s studies, it was clear that internal class conflicts in the Black Meteor Empire were very pronounced. Yet they alleviated these internal conflicts by continuously invading surrounding countries and plundering wealth; however, the hidden dangers never dissipated. In such a context, the gladiator rebellion was just one phenomenon; many similar resistance phenomena needed to be uncovered.

Under the night sky of Dragon Capital, though spring had arrived, it remained chilly, with few people on the streets.

In a secluded alley, a girl wearing night clothes was wiping her hands, her gaze intense, while seven corpses lay on the ground.

Rather than working behind closed doors, Xueyin preferred to connect theory with practice. She had recently been actively involved in the Celestial Principle School and the Night Patrol’s operations. Her seniority in the Celestial Principle School was extremely high, and she also held special authority within the Night Patrol. Furthermore, Xueyin acted decisively and ruthlessly, showing no mercy or hesitation. If caught by the Night Patrol, one might survive, but in her hands, there was no chance.

Eradicating evil is Lin Xueyin’s principle.

Though the Bloodthirsty Monarch had been expelled, the plague and malevolent forces had still nourished many cults, making them active. If not for the combined efforts of the Celestial Principle School and the Night Patrol, Dragon Capital would not be as stable as it was. During this process, the nickname "Little Witch" spread far and wide.

Lin Xueyin didn’t care what others called her; she only sought to eliminate every Fallen she encountered.

In a corner, a woman, half-transformed but still incredibly charming, kept sobbing, "Don’t kill me. I was forced into this; they turned me into this. Can you save me?"

In the neighboring house, a family of three had been eaten, leaving only remnants. With a bloody lip, a flash of gold light cut the head off, swiftly followed by a crisscross of sword lights, slicing the fallen woman to pieces.

Lin Xueyin snorted coldly; it wasn’t satisfying enough to kill. They were all just minions, and she thought she could catch a mastermind.

Meanwhile, on the roof of a nearby residence, a short figure crouched. Below him lay three bodies, elders of the Jile Sect. They had originally planned to capture Lin Xueyin; if they could convert her into the Jile Sect, their strength would surely soar.

Everything had been arranged, with a special secret item prepared to daze Lin Xueyin, but they hadn’t expected to encounter the clown.

The clown looked up at the red moon in the sky, issuing a silent howl...

The Golden Sea, became more frenzied with the emergence of the Wish Crystal. The influx of countless forces also made the Golden Sea more prosperous and lively, with open and hidden conflicts being commonplace. Various factions nearly fought to the death to seize the Wish Crystal, yet deep within the Golden Sea, the Divine Land remained calm and unperturbed.

Martial Heart Sect.

The day’s training began. Wang Zhigao wore a stern expression. It wasn’t that he wanted to, but he simply couldn’t smile. Maybe it was an act at first, but later it was genuine frustration. He knew that the foundational level of the now backward sects was lacking, but he didn’t expect it to be this lacking.

"You must change your previously erroneous habits of using Spiritual Ability. Forget everything; previous moves and methods are all incorrect. You must start from the basics, and there is no skipping this process. Incorrect usage directly caps your combat capability!" Wang Zhigao roared.

He could sense that some disciples couldn’t adapt and began to secretly revert to their old ways of using Spiritual Ability, so he watched closely, scolding harshly if caught.

"Elder, it’s not that I want to revert, but I don’t know how to exert my strength anymore. My focus on the release method of Spiritual Ability has completely distorted my movements, and my strength application has entirely gone wrong, making me look like a fool," Xue Yong couldn’t help but say.

In the Martial Heart Sect, Fang Qingning, Fang Chi, Cai Qingfeng, and Xue Yong were in one category, able to understand what Wang Zhigao said and train accordingly. However, the problem was that while considering the new method of Spiritual Ability release, like wave propulsion, combined with the Martial Heart Sect’s moves, their actions became disjointed. In actual combat, they would be left unable to fend for themselves, even losing in sparring within the sect.
