Chapter 259 - 18: The Great Purge of Cangdu
"Lord Lu Hong, what are you talking about? We don’t understand," several of the royal guards approached Lu Hong with forced smiles on their faces.
Glancing around, many people had already quietly drawn their weapons, and the whispering of Mage professions buzzed through the air.
These must be the lackeys of the Disaster Church!
Lu Hong was not afraid of these people, but he felt a tinge of sadness for the Cang Kingdom. Such a vast nation had been infiltrated by a mere church to this extent. The royal guards, as the direct troops of the Cang King and defenders of the royal safety, even here the Disaster Church’s reach could be seen. By extension, was there any place in the entire Cang Kingdom that was absolutely safe?
The closer he got to Cangdu City, the less Lu Hong wanted to use the Heavenly God Descends. This wasn’t Shen’s Grace, this wasn’t the Continental War, without the protection of treaties, Third Transition experts could strike at will. If his extraordinary strength were to be discovered, he would very likely become a prime target for the Disaster Church.
"I really want to know how you all managed to get into the royal guards," Lu Hong said as his sword swept forward, forcing back those who closed in.
"Lord Lu Hong, what are you talking about? We really do not understand!"
"Stop pretending. You are all people from the Disaster Church, aren’t I right?" Even before Lu Hong finished speaking, thirteen streaks of flowing fire flew out from the encampment behind him.
