Chapter 403 -269 Dilemma (Seeking Monthly Votes!)_2

“How could this be?!”

Pompey and Xibert exclaimed in shock.

Even Mrs. Pompey and the two little girls couldn’t help but cover their mouths.

The old man bowed his head, suppressing his anger.

“If… we hadn’t come to visit Mr. Jack, we might have…”

Xibert murmured.

...

Pompey was initially startled, then silently lowered his head.

Yes, had it not been for their chance departure from Yellow Iron City, they too might have been swept into this disaster, barely surviving.

Chen Lun listened to Malediz’s account, his expression solemn.

‘It really is Lafa… Just didn’t expect, at this time, that He would directly destroy a city!’

He took a deep breath.

Silently, he opened the game forum.

After searching for information about Yellow Iron City, he quickly found posts about the city’s turmoil, Fallen Believers, and Archbishop Lafa.

Chen Lun maintained a calm exterior, but as he read more and more posts, the pressure inside him mounted.

“Ladies and gentlemen, now is probably not the time for idle chat… This disaster is likely to affect Amber City, please everyone make preparations.”

He looked up and said sternly.

Hearing the undertone in Chen Lun’s words, everyone got up.

“Mr. Malediz, and little Rey… Everyone might as well come and stay at my manor first, Mr. Jack must have more important matters to attend to, we shouldn’t disturb him here.”

Pompey, with his high EQ, quickly grasped Chen Lun’s meaning and addressed everyone.

“Yes, we can only do this for now…”

Malediz, feeling conflicted, forced a smile on his face.

“Mr. Jack, sorry for the disturbance, after this matter is over, if there is still a chance, I will come to visit you again…”

“You are always welcome.”

Chen Lun offered a polite smile.

He personally escorted everyone to the manor’s gate, watching as Pompey’s family and Malediz and others got into the carriage and left.

After a long sigh,

Chen Lun turned and went back into the villa, immediately summoning all the members of the team.

“Leader, are we setting off now?”

Golov spoke up.

Chen Lun looked at Floey, Noah, Golov, Barton, Morey, and Connie for a few seconds, then fell silent.

“Yes, leave Amber City.”

He looked around, as if trying to remember the manor where he had lived for over a year.

“Wait here for a moment, I’ll be right back.”

Chen Lun said.

The members nodded in agreement, not asking further.

But Chen Lun thought it over and still explained to them:

“Yellow Iron City has already been destroyed by the Red Apple Church, Archbishop Lafa was responsible. If we leave by carriage now, we might encounter unnecessary incidents along the way… So I will use another exit, a long-distance Teleportation Gate, but I still need to personally place the exit door.”

The other members were shocked upon hearing this news.

Morey was particularly relieved.

If he were still in Yellow Iron City now, how terrible the situation would be!

“Leader, please be careful!”

Morey spoke respectfully.

Concern showed on the faces of Noah, Golov, and Barton.

The words of Mr. Jack made them utterly convinced, though they were not very clear about what a “Teleportation Gate” actually was, since it was the leader’s plan, it must indeed be more secure.

Floey stepped forward, her ethereal voice softly saying:

“We will wait for you here.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

Chen Lun said with a smile, then stepped into the Spirit World.

Chen Lun was swiftly shuttling through the Spirit World.

He was heading toward another city-state.

Adjacent to Gem State, besides Flower State, there was also Rock State.

In his original plan, one of the future destinations for his team was an inconspicuous little city in Rock State, Bronze City – Peacock City.

That was also the “hometown” Chen Lun had once casually invented.

In his memory, Bronze City from his past life had not been too heavily affected by the Red Calamity and simultaneously harbored several yet-to-be-discovered opportunities.

According to the timeline, these opportunities that would only be discovered by players in future versions, getting there ahead of time to seize them might provide some assistance in becoming stronger.

Previously, he hadn’t gone there due to the long distance and inadequate strength, but now that he was about to leave this place, heading to Peacock City seemed fitting.

Chen Lun had purchased the spiritual coordinates of Peacock City from the Silver Dragon Trade Association in advance, costing him dozens of Gold Pounds, but it was worth the expense.

‘It will take about twenty minutes to reach Peacock City, activate the Spirit World Stone in the present of Peacock City, then return to the manor, and go there through the Teleportation Gate with the team members.’

He thought this as he quickened his pace.

Actually, Chen Lun could have taken all the Circus people into the Spirit World, but during the Spirit World Shuttle, he couldn’t afford to be distracted, and others were highly likely to get lost in the process.

This would be extremely dangerous.

Therefore, the channel formed by two Spirit World Stones was the best option.

Chen Lun suddenly felt a warning coming from his Spiritual Intuition.

The warning grew stronger, forcing him to stop in his tracks.

‘What’s going on? Could there be danger ahead…?’

Chen Lun frowned, looking around at the blurry, distorted pale blue view.

‘No… The feeling of unease is getting stronger, even though I’ve stopped, it hasn’t lessened… it’s a danger from another aspect!’

He pondered briefly, deciding to seek clues from the players.

With numerous players spread across the world and a forum for communication, the players in Chen Lun’s view, were an excellent “network of eyes.”

Through the players, Chen Lun could well understand major world events.

Immersing his mind in the cottage by Wonderland Lake, he saw Dongyang and others sitting on the lawn chatting, all about the destruction of Yellow Iron City and the Archbishop Lafa of the Red Apple Church.

“That lunatic already destroyed a city, then began wreaking havoc around it… do you guys think he’ll come our way?”

Doghead Gold said with a twist of his mouth.

“Don’t worry, such a big BOSS is definitely for plot characters to deal with.”

Dongyang shrugged, then smiled,

“Just like our Mr. Jack, who fought with this guy before and saved Amber City.”

“No! The BOSS is indeed heading this way!”

Polaris seemed to have been distracted earlier, but after gaining his senses, he said solemnly to everyone.

“Huh?!”

Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.

The others were puzzled.

“What do you mean?”

“Just check the game forum.”

Polaris said.

Seeing this in the Spirit World, Chen Lun also opened the game forum, his face stern as he flipped through the posts. The news about the destruction of Yellow Iron City had already spread, also impacting nearby towns and villages, but nothing particularly noteworthy.

Suddenly.

His gaze sharpened.

From these posts published by players, Chen Lun discovered a blind spot.

The affected towns and villages were spreading toward Amber City!

‘Lafa is heading toward Amber City… wherever He passes, it turns to ruins, destroyed casually by His hand.’

This sentence popped into Chen Lun’s mind.

He even had a vague intuition.

Lafa was coming for him!

Setting aside the Affection of the Red Apple Church toward him that was relentless, he had personally sabotaged Lafa’s plan a year and a half ago.

It was no surprise that the other would come looking for him.

‘It should still be okay to go to Peacock City now… but even if I leave, Lafa won’t spare Amber City. With the official power in Amber City, they absolutely can’t stop this guy… by then, Amber City might become a dead city like Yellow Iron City!’

Chen Lun wore a stern face.

He began to ponder how exactly to make his choice.
