Chapter 3468: Joining HandsEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"God King, don’t be fooled by him. Fang Heng is another identity of his. As far as I know, many people in the Holy Court Church have died at Fang Heng’s hands."
Dormer spoke, his gaze shifting toward the hellish Mag clan and vampires behind Fang Heng. "Besides, Fang Heng also has many entanglements with vampires, undead, and hell clans. His identity is highly suspicious."
As he spoke, everyone began to look at Camu, Zane, Carl, Ignis, and the others accompanying Fang Heng. Their expressions grew heavier, and they took up defensive stances.
Chen Yu inwardly sighed.
Good grief.
What kind of situation was this?
Ouroboros, Evil God, vampires, and hell clans—the major villains all gathered together.
To insist Fang Heng was a good person?
Chen Yu himself lacked the confidence to say that.
"I’ve also heard some rumors outside. Whether it’s Fang Heng or Fang Bai, none of that matters right now."
The God King shook his head slightly, looking at Dormer. "Our world faces life or death. I believe everyone here came to seal the hell rift."
"Previous conflicts can be set aside for now. We face this crisis together. All differences can be settled once we get out."
"God King is right."
Chen Yu felt relieved and quickly nodded in agreement. "We are here to deal with the hell rift. I believe everyone wants to save the world, so let’s focus on the bigger picture."
Dormer frowned silently.
Fang Heng was an unstable factor. He wanted to work with the God King to completely deal with Fang Heng.
But since the God King had spoken, he could only yield.
"Alright, the Central Federation is also willing to prioritize the bigger picture."
Dormer signaled for everyone to lower their weapons but still looked toward Fang Heng and his group, warning, "As the God King said, we need to find a way to close the hell rift and save the world. Other matters can wait. But I warn you all—if I find anyone making moves behind the scenes, I will not let them go!"
Both sides lowered their guard but still clearly kept their separate teams. The tense atmosphere eased somewhat.
Behind Dormer, an old man adjusted his glasses and stepped forward half a step to ask Chen Yu, "Did the Eastern Federation also come here because of news about the Hell Orb?"
Oh?
Hell Orb?
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man.
Interesting.
He had obtained clues about the Hell Orb only after reaching the upper layers of hell on a mission. Even the Eastern Federation didn’t know about it. How had the Central Federation gotten this information?
Chen Yu and the others from the Eastern Federation looked toward Fang Heng with some confusion.
Hell Orb? What was that?
Hadn’t they just assumed the problem lay with the demon lord Exillion, and were invading the lower hell layers to find the corpse? How did it suddenly become the Hell Orb on the Central Federation side?
What the heck was the Hell Orb?
"Isn’t that right?"
Dormer caught the confusion on their faces and asked, "Aren’t you here searching for the Hell Orb?"
"Mr. Fang found some abnormal hell aura fluctuations extending downward. We followed that aura to investigate but didn’t know anything about a Hell Orb."
Chen Yu explained, then looked at the old man beside Dormer, "Who is this?"
"Mr. Ernst, an expert invited by the Central Federation," Dormer nodded lightly and explained, "After some research, we believe the source opening the hell rift is very likely the Hell Orb."
Fang Heng interrupted, "What’s the evidence for that theory?"
The Great Sage Aladdin stepped forward from the Holy Court group and explained, "The Holy Court studied some ancient texts left by the Holy Realm and found records about the Hell Orb. The Hell Orb is the core that carries hell itself. It has control over the entire hell, so we suspect the opening of the hell rift is connected to the Hell Orb."
"In fact, Blue Star is not the first. Many worlds suffer from the threat of hell. But this time, Blue Star’s crisis is strange. The God King suspects abnormalities with the Hell Orb, so he personally led us into hell, hoping to completely seal the Hell Orb and solve the trouble of hell once and for all."
Everyone looked at each other and then involuntarily at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng asked, "Hell is so vast. Where do we look for the Hell Orb?"
"The Holy Realm has a way to sense the general location of the Hell Orb."
Aladdin then asked, "Fang Heng, could the hell aura fluctuations you’re tracking also be from the Hell Orb?"
Fang Heng shrugged and said, "It’s possible."
Dormer’s mind immediately began to scheme. "Since everyone’s goal is the lower hell layers, why not cooperate and enter together? We find the Hell Orb first, then plan what to do next. What do you all think?"
"Hmm, sounds good."
Fang Heng agreed and began to scan the surroundings. "Then let’s set off."
"Great Sage Fang Heng, you should know that hell’s seventy-seventh layer is different from the previous ones. We have explored the caverns for hours but seem to be going in circles, unable to find a passage to the lower layers."
Dormer gave a glance to an aide beside him.
He did not think Fang Heng’s team had the ability to enter hell’s seventy-seventh layer on their own and would just follow behind to pick up the leftovers.
Traveling with Fang Heng was a good opportunity.
If they could find a way to weaken Fang Heng’s strength during the search for the Hell Orb, then after obtaining it, they could claim it and take Fang Heng down as well.
An aide nearby caught the hint and looked at Fang Heng provocatively, saying, "Fang Heng, you seem very knowledgeable about hell. Do you have any way to find the entrance to the lower layers?"
Fang Heng shrugged and looked at Ignis beside him.
"Sir, hell layers seventy-seven to seventy-nine are the habitat of Hell Faram."
Ignis looked at the sticky fungal mass on the wall and said, "These are all part of the Hell Faram’s body. They are very skilled at illusions, causing invaders to get lost in the grotto. Unless we completely destroy the Hell Faram’s main body core, their flesh and blood will keep growing and reclaim every corner of hell."
"Illusions..."
Fang Heng repeated lightly. His right eye, the God’s Eye, appeared as he scanned the surroundings again and quickly stopped, looking at a certain spot.
The aide thought he was pretending and sneered internally, asking, "Great Sage Fang Heng, have you found anything?"
"Indeed, I have found something. Follow me."
Fang Heng said, stepping forward.
"Let’s go, follow."
Chen Yu immediately led the Eastern Federation group after them.
Huh?
He really found something?
Dormer and the others were a little stunned.
They exchanged glances.
The God King nodded and said, "I have long heard that Great Sage Fang Heng’s personal strength is outstanding. If that is so, we will follow and see."
