Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2737  The Whole Story

”After that, it was quite a coincidence that this companion is the founder of the Shadow Alliance,” Bai Mu said, glancing at the middle-aged man on the right, introducing, ”Wu Yan.”

”Hello,” Wu Yan nodded at Fang Heng with a somewhat cautious smile. ”Fang Bai, Iʼve heard about you. Iʼm Wu Yan.”

”This is Ms. Niximi.”

Niximi moved with a touch of allure, nodding as she said, ”Hello, Greed, I am Lust.”

”In fact, the Shadow Alliance has existed for a long time, though its reputation was not prominent. At that time, we thought the Shadow Alliance might be a suitable ally, useful in the future, so we decided to stay behind the scenes and control things from the shadows,” Bai Mu continued. ”Not long ago, we learned about Jing Geʼerʼs team. Since the White Abyss incident, theyʼve completely gone their separate ways and formed their own small squad to act independently.”

”We encountered them once during this period, and it seemed like they had some fortuitous encounter, as their overall strength had improved.”

”About half a month ago, we suddenly received information about Jing Geʼer and his group. The letter said that the Holy Realm was about to face a crisis. They plan to take advantage of this crisis to infiltrate the Holy Realm, targeting a holy weapon said to be capable of significantly countering the demonic seed.”

Fang Hengʼs pupils suddenly shrank.

Good grief.

To think that the demonic seed faction was so bold and daring, already preparing to strike at the Holy Realm.

Fang Heng quickly stopped Bai Mu, asking, ”Wait a moment. Are you saying the trouble in the Holy Realm was caused by Jing Geʼer and his team?”

Bai Mu furrowed his brows, thinking for a moment, then shook his head, saying, ”No, I donʼt think they have that kind of power, but itʼs likely that theyʼre involved in some way. Otherwise, they wouldnʼt have received the information so early.”

”Mm, I understand. Please continue.”

”After receiving the letter, our first reaction was disbelief. After all, the Holy Realm is unlike other places, and it has been peaceful and stable for too long. The chances of a crisis happening in the Holy Realm were too low.”

”So, we suspected that maybe Jing Geʼer and his group were planning something against the Holy Realm, trying to provoke us into starting a war with them, hoping to benefit from it...”

”After some discussion, we decided not to act immediately, but instead to keep an eye on the Holy Realm from a distance.”

”None of us expected that, overnight, the Holy Court would experience anomalies.”

”All the signs pointed to the fact that the Holy Realm might indeed be experiencing a disturbance.”

”After we confirmed the news, we were already one step behind.”

”We later found out that, in the very first moment the disturbance in the Holy Realm occurred, Jing Geʼer and his team had already taken action. On the third day of the event, while the outside world was still unaware, they had successfully infiltrated Amrit, attacked the Mist Temple, and used the passage inside the temple to enter the Holy Realm.”

”When we finally got the news and arrived here, we were already too late.”

Bai Mu pondered for a moment, nodding, ”After the Holy Realm discovered the passage had been breached, they immediately strengthened their defenses and even sent the Elemental Clan to assist.”

”So by the time we arrived, the Holy Courtʼs defenses had already been reinforced.”

”With our strength, if we went all out and charged directly, the Mist Temple wouldnʼt be able to hold us back, but we were worried that if we made a move, the Holy Court would destroy the teleportation passage leading to the Holy Realm to stop us from entering.”

”Not only that, but the energy fluctuations weʼd release in battle would surely attract the attention of the Holy Realm.”

Wu Yan smiled and said, ”After discussing it, we suspect this is likely a trap set by Jing Geʼer. Itʼs very possible that Jing Geʼer intentionally lured us here, hoping to use the Holy Realmʼs power to relieve the pressure on them.”

Bai Mu shook his head and said, ”Of course, this is just our speculation.”

”We discussed it and decided to temporarily hide, using the Shadow Allianceʼs name to mix the news of the disturbance in the Holy Realm with rumors about the Holy Weapon in the Mist Temple, releasing a mix of truth and lies to attract forces that are hostile to the Holy Court to come to the Mist Temple to deal with the Holy Court.”

”While the Holy Court is distracted by the troubles in the Holy Realm, and the guards at the Mist Temple relax, we can blend in with these forces, and, without revealing our own aura, sneak into the Holy Realm.”

Fang Heng understood.

In fact, the strength of the demonic seed was no small matter.

If Bai Mu and the other demonic seed teamed up, even the Phoenixes outside the Mist Temple would not be able to stop them.

However, Bai Mu and his team were unwilling to take this route.

On one hand, they didnʼt want the Holy Court to become desperate and destroy the teleportation passage, taking everything down in one blow. On the other hand, they didnʼt want to end up being pawns for the arrogant Jing Geʼer.

A deeper consideration likely involved wanting to act more secretly after entering the Holy Realm.

”We still donʼt know exactly whatʼs happening in the Holy Realm, so weʼve decided to remain cautious,” Bai Mu continued.

Fang Heng understood the current situation after hearing the full account.

To put it simply:

The demonic seed was interested in a certain artifact in the Holy Realm!

And wasnʼt he, Fang Heng, also interested in it?

If he could obtain it...

It would be beneficial, but the situation in the Holy Realm clearly wasnʼt simple. It could take a long time just to go back and forth.

He already had many troubles to deal with.

The death realm was still waiting for him to return, and the matter of the orb protective net had not progressed at all. That was something that couldnʼt be delayed even for a moment.

Although he was reluctant...

Wait!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Fang Hengʼs mind.

Thatʼs right!

The Holy Realm!

Fang Heng remembered clearly that in the sea of consciousness by the Nether River, he had seen images showing the seven worlds created by the Creator, each corresponding to a different orb!

Among them should be the death realm and the Holy Realm!

And not only that!

Fang Heng recalled that each orb was associated with a protective dark golden net.

The protective net for the orb of the death realm had been lost, but perhaps the protective net for the orb of the Holy Realm was still intact!

Now, with the Holy Realm in chaos, if he followed the demonic seed to the Holy Realm, there might be a chance to find the protective net for the Holy Realmʼs orb!

It was a chance!

He could give it a try!

Fang Heng quickly made his decision.

Bai Mu, observing Fang Hengʼs thoughtful expression, smiled and asked, ”I just heard that the Shadow Alliance has had some infiltrators from the Holy Court. At first, I was a little confused, but now I realize itʼs you. Have you found something?”

”Yeah, a little discovery.” Fang Heng responded, pulling out some stones he had gathered along the way from his backpack. ”I found some special stones in the cave. They contain holy power, but I havenʼt figured out what theyʼre for yet.”
