Chapter 88: Undercurrents Surge: Sect Master Luo Hao's Declaration of War

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, appearing calm on the surface while his fingers actually trembled slightly.

He picked up a tissue from the side to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Because he suddenly remembered why he found Yu Qiyu so familiar.

The reason he was able to become the seventh member of the S-Class Heroes.

Wasn't it because he coincidentally appeared at the scenes where monsters died several times, leading the Hero Association to misunderstand him? He remembered clearly that the one who solved those... monster incidents.

Was precisely this bald cape hero with a comedic style.

In other words, he had taken credit for Yu Qiyu's work, which is how he became the seventh member of the S-Class Heroes.

"I feel like I've really encountered something extraordinary this time."

After Su Han finished uploading the instance, he closed his eyes.

He began to ponder the current guild functions.

This was one of the things Su Han liked to do most in his spare time.

The guild function list seemed to have only a few items, but if examined closely.

One could always discover unexpected surprises.

"The number of members has reached 19 now..."

Looking at the function list, Su Han stroked his chin, revealing a thoughtful expression, "So that means, with one more person, the count will reach 20."

Su Han suddenly felt some anticipation about what would happen after the number of members reached 20.

After the guild's membership broke through 15, what changes would occur in its functions? The guild unlocked the ability to freely traverse between the worlds belonging to its members.

It couldn't be that nothing would change after breaking through 20 members, could it? Su Han chatted in the guild chat room while pondering the possible future functional changes of the guild.

At the same time.

In the world of *Guilty Crown*, undercurrents surged among the various nations.

In the East, atop Mount Lushan.

Lu Yinghua knelt before a seemingly ordinary thatched cottage.

"Oh Holy Master, wise and brave, your name shall endure as long as heaven and earth, indestructible through eternal kalpas! Your martial prowess is invincible in this world.

Wise, compassionate, illuminating the world.

This disciple, Lu Yinghua, wishes for my Master to live for thousands of autumns and ten thousand years, existing eternally."

An extremely gentle voice came from inside the thatched cottage.

"Ying'er, you may rise!"

Immediately, the gentle voice carried a trace of chilling killing intent.

"Speaking of which, how did you fare with the intelligence on Lu Feiming I asked you to investigate earlier? Even if he is your younger brother, you cannot show favoritism!"

Lu Yinghua almost subconsciously said, "Wise and great Holy Master! Even if I wished to show favoritism, under your wisdom, I fear there would be nowhere to hide."

After speaking, Lu Yinghua fell silent, eventually bowing deeply until his forehead touched the ground.

"But Master... Lu Feiming, he... is already dead."

A brief pause.

Time seemed to stop at that very instant.

The next moment, terrifying pressure swept out from the small thatched cottage.

Causing upheaval in heaven and earth.

Like a deity lying dormant for a long time, opening its eyes at this moment.

Shaking heaven and earth.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, the door of the thatched cottage was opened.

Wearing white Hanfu, appearing only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Standing quietly before Lu Yinghua.

She had bright eyes and white teeth, her posture elegant.

Although she looked like a noble lady on the outside, she was indeed the only God Slayer in current China, known as the Demon Person Luo Hao Lu Cuilian.

At this moment, Lu Cuilian was expressionless, completely different from her usual demeanor.

"Tell me... exactly how did Lu Feiming die? He is a God Slayer, how could he possibly die outside?"

When mentioning Lu Feiming, Lu Cuilian's voice carried a trace of disgust, but when talking about Lu Feiming's death, her voice again carried a trace of killing intent.

Her traitorous disciple should be killed by her alone.

Whoever dared to defy her, she would kill.

"The one who killed Lu Feiming is a newly ascended God Slayer; we cannot know his specific name.

The only thing we can know is... he is Chinese, and has a close relationship with Marquis Wangban."

Lu Yinghua said respectfully.

Then, he paused slightly.

Actually, even he found it hard to believe.

As the leader of the Five Purgatories Holy Cult, the only powerful organization in China, Luo Hao's authority was unquestionable.

Even though Leader Luo Hao had not emerged for a long time, as her direct disciple, Lu Yinghua had the qualification to mobilize the Five Purgatories Holy Cult.

However, despite the powerful intelligence capabilities possessed by the Five Purgatories Holy Cult, they still could not detect the opponent's identity.

They could only detect that the opponent was suspected to be Chinese... or rather, this was even more shocking.

After all, the Five Purgatories Holy Cult, which held the greatest power in China, could not even find out the identity of a Chinese person. It was simply beyond incredible.

"Chinese?"

Hearing this, the originally furious Leader Luo Hao gradually calmed down, her eyes flashing with a translucent light.

"Interesting... another God Slayer from China?"

Lu Cuilian's eyes flickered uncertainly, making it impossible to know what she was thinking.

"Very well! For the sake of him being Chinese, I will give him one chance."

Lu Cuilian glanced at Lu Yinghua and ordered coldly, "Now, go deliver a challenge to this... newly ascended God Slayer on my behalf.

I want to teach him what it means to have a senior.

Do not think that backing Marquis Wangban allows you to do whatever you please."

The next moment, Lu Cuilian suddenly lifted her foot and directly kicked Lu Yinghua flying.

Rolling several times in mid-air, Lu Yinghua dissipated the force and landed back on the ground.

He showed no surprise, stood up, bowed to Lu Cuilian, and quickly retreated.

That... movement was practiced to the point of being heartbreaking.

Clearly, this was not the first or second time he had been kicked away like this.

Leader Luo Hao declares war on the newly ascended God Slayer!! Magic societies and mage organizations across the entire world were all shaken.

One wave had not settled when another arose.

Too many things had happened recently. First, Leader Luo Hao's direct disciple betrayed the sect and defected as a God Slayer; subsequently, this disciple became the only fallen God Slayer of the current era, dying at the hands of the newly ascended God Slayer.

Finally, Leader Luo Hao declared war on this... newly ascended God Slayer.

Almost all the masters of the major powers could see that a storm was brewing.

The Five Prisons Holy Cult of Huaxia mobilized with full force.

In the eyes of the administrators of the Five Prisons Holy Cult, for Sect Master Luo Hao to deal with a newly ascended God Slayer was as easy as picking up something from the ground; and this victory by Sect Master Luo Hao would undoubtedly elevate the prestige of the Five Prisons Holy Cult across the world to a new level.

After all, since Sect Master Luo Hao did not manage affairs, if they wanted to develop the Five Prisons Holy Cult, they had to rely on these high-level executives who actually managed the cult.

On a huge, luxurious cruise ship.

Su Han was playing chess with Marquis Gao Ban.

Marquis Gao Ban had lived for many years and was extremely proficient in both Go and chess.

Although Su Han was not an expert, his mental capacity was extremely strong, allowing him to deduce ten moves ahead.

For a moment, it was a match between equals.

A knock on the door suddenly rang out.

Marquis Gao Ban’s expression remained unchanged: “Come in!”

Liliyana walked out from outside the door, faced Su Han and Marquis Gao Ban, knelt on one knee, lowered her head, and spoke in a dry voice.

“My Lord Marquis, King Lei Ting.”

Liliyana respectfully greeted the two before her.

Su Han’s eyebrows twitched. How had he inexplicably become some ‘King Lei Ting’? Although he controlled the power of the Thunder Fruit, and the authority he had obtained by killing a god this time was indeed the power of storm and thunder...

But wasn’t the name ‘King Lei Ting’ too ugly? Marquis Gao Ban looked at Su Han with amusement, clearly seeing through Su Han’s thoughts.

Then, he glanced at Liliyana, and his smiling eyes instantly turned cold: “So, what exactly is the matter? Speak quietly.”

Liliyana’s body trembled, feeling immense pressure, and she lowered her head even further.

She poured out the situation like spilling beans, using the most concise words to tell everything.

“Sect Master Luo Hao of the Five Prisons Holy Cult formally declares war on King Lei Ting!”
