Chapter 543 They're all old buddies
Gu Qing overheard their conversation and could roughly glean some of the information, but what exactly was a "fallen family"?
She couldn't resist using her AI to check, and the information was only a few short sentences. The general meaning was similar to the cult in her previous world.
They would induce weaker fighters to undergo mutation and be tamed, thereby increasing their combat power. They would preach that only those who mutate are true warriors.
Their goal is to turn all of humanity into mutated beasts, so that they will be qualified to rule the universe.
As for why Elder Zhao was certain that Ye Mu had joined the Fallen Clan, it was probably because he saw the wings on Ye Mu's body that seemed ready to spring into action.
It was an unknown bird spirit, but its transformed wings, with their blackish-gray feathers, trembled slightly as if they were breathing on their own, as if they could detach from the wings at any moment.
This is a record from the information he just looked up: self-degradation can be achieved by using drugs to erase part of one's senses, thus making one's senses less acute and less painful.
Of course, there are also many side effects. The main one is that the mutated body will exhibit uncontrollable phenomena, which can be as mild as involuntary twitching when the body is sick.
In severe cases, you will be fully aware of your own body going berserk and committing mass murder.
"Nonsense! My son is exceptionally talented. When he left home for the battlefield, his level of contamination was only around 30. How could he have been directly contaminated to the point of becoming a monster?"
"Isn't it all because you protected that woman? She abused my son, causing him to break down and become corrupted."
His words silenced Old Zhao. The punishment a woman received was negligible compared to the life of a high-ranking warrior. Yet, interstellar law favored women.
The woman had advanced to a higher level of purification, and with her husbands' strenuous efforts, the punishment was reduced even further.
It was this unfair punishment, coupled with the death of her son, that caused Ye Mu's level of corruption to rise sharply, leading her to announce a period of rest and recuperation.
Li Liangxin, the deputy, began to wield real power, but who would have thought that he would actually bewitch Ye Mu?
"Alright, Zhao Xuan, it's been years since we last fought. Time is of the essence, so let's stop wasting time."
As soon as Ye Mu finished speaking, he made his move, and the air instantly became thin, scorching, and distorted. Gu Qing unconsciously swallowed; her manor hadn't been in use for very long!
Just as she expected, the two of them fought one against one, and her newly planted flower bed with spiritual herbs was ruined again. Next came the courtyard wall, and the ground was paved.
After one round of fighting, only the house remained intact under the protection of the black tortoise.
Gu Qing was facing a battle between high-level combatants up close. She couldn't help but swallow hard. No wonder high-level combatants fight in outer space, because they can't really use their skills inside a planet.
But now she's dragged the battlefield onto her own planet, and her own manor has clearly caused trouble. Shaking and explosions were also heard not far away.
Gu Qing looked over, somewhat worried about her planting base, but clearly she couldn't see that far ahead. Just as she was worrying, she suddenly sensed spatial fluctuations.
Since the third little cloud split off, she has been exceptionally sensitive to spatial fluctuations. The moment she sensed them, she retreated into the doorway.
Sure enough, a crack appeared where she was, and even the defensive shield of the defensive anchor point was torn apart. Then Li Liangxin crawled out of the crack.
Gu Qing took out the energy and fired the gun without hesitation, tearing a small hole in front of Li Liangxin, and the bullet went in silently.
The spatial rift between Li Liangxin and Gu Qing lasted for a few seconds. Taking advantage of this time, he leaned forward and reached out to grab Gu Qing's neck.
Suddenly, a huge bear paw reached out from behind Gu Qing and slapped him away. The bear roared as soon as it appeared, the shockwave making everyone present feel their insides churn.
Then a tall, burly man stepped forward, hands behind his back, and said with disdain, "Hey old man, all you ever do is play these underhanded tricks. Today I'm going to face you head-on, so don't even think about running away this time."
Lu Liangxin was sent flying far away by the slap. He rolled a few times, stood up straight, clutched his chest, and looked at the person who had spoken.
"Feng Hongyu." He spoke each word slowly and deliberately, with gritted teeth.
Chairman Feng waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, enough with the whine, let's see who's the real deal since we're all old buddies!"
He was just that kind of impatient person, and so was his spiritual body. Before he could even finish speaking, his spiritual body had already rushed towards Li Liangxin.
Li Liangxin waved his hand, and his spiritual body materialized into an exceptionally large chimpanzee, which immediately thumped its chest in a show of force.
