The Red Ornament Society, the Black Vatican's Assassination / Special Delivery

He blew gently, and a breeze swept by, restoring the glass bottle to its original clean and spotless state.

Immediately, Lu Jun's gaze sharpened as a pure silver, shimmering liquid flowed silently within the glass bottle— the Time Fluid!

"Was it successful?"

Lu Jun sighed, saying that the glass bottle he casually tossed aside not only contained several Li Fan Flower, but also a considerable amount of spacetime energy.

After hundreds of years of gestation, it has finally become a Time-Space Liquid.

Although the quantity is small, less than half of Mo Fan's, it is still a top-grade material. When made into a special potion and refined by his own Mermaid, it will greatly increase her potential and accelerate her cultivation speed.

Like Mo Fan's Little Flame Princess, it takes several fortuitous opportunities to transcend one's race.

"Night Thunder Dream Beast is only Intermediate Commander, while Little Water Lord is still a minor commander. We can't favor one over the other. If Summoned Beast are inferior to Dimensional Beast, who can we complain to?"

Lu Jun thought to himself, "If I accept this Time-Space Liquid, not to mention if we really encounter danger, I can give it to Little Water Lord to temporarily evolve into a monarch queen. Combined with his God Ascension State, he can fight against the Great Monarch."

"Does this count as interfering with spacetime? Then why can't I go further?"

Having achieved his goal, Lu Jun stood at the edge of the Nazca Lines before leaving, remaining silent for a moment, his heart filled with turmoil.

He seemed to be in a state of mind that he couldn't express, and suddenly took out the Qiankun Stone and stared at it intently.

Lu Jun held up the nine-aperture round divine stone with his left hand, while his right hand was clenched loosely. The azure starry river of his Spiritual World Mind Element brightly, the mark of the Li Fan Flower bloomed, and the Power of Imagination surged, condensing into an illusory sword blade.

Click!

The next moment, Lu Jun made his move. In reality, the azure and yellowish-brown crystalline surface of the Qiankun Stone remained unchanged, but in the void, a clear sound rang out.

Chapter 342 The Red Ornament Society, the Black Vatican's Assassination

Lu Jun put away the Qiankun Stone, knowing that the 'mark' had been made.

This is the first cut in carving the non-existent Imaginary Beast, imbued with the experiences of more than a month spent in the Inca Empire, filled with all regrets, gratitude, resentment, and knowledge, before it was possible to make a cut in the Imagination Domain.

He vaguely understood why Spirit Carving Method could only carve a non-existent beast in his entire life.

Because it is a reflection of the host's life experiences and insights, only by gathering all of one's life essence can a Summoned Beast that perfectly matches oneself be created.

Like many great craftsmen, if they can produce even one masterpiece in their lifetime, it is enough to bring them solace.

It seems that the second contract will not be returned to its original position anytime soon. The more magnificent and mysterious the experience, the more unforgettable it is, the higher the essence of the Imaginary Beast it sculpts.

Therefore, he, with his high standards, did not want to rush things.

Let's go.

Lu Jun stood there for a long time, then turned around, mounted the Night Thunder Dream Beast, and left without looking back.

About an hour or two later, he arrived in the capital of Peru and met Ai Jiangtu, Mo Fan, Jiang Shaoxu, and their group, all smiling as they walked out of the local National Pavilion.

The royal abbot smiled as he saw them off, offering a few words of flattery. "Truly worthy of being young talents of a great nation, our curator has learned a great deal."

Jiang Shaoxu echoed this sentiment with a similarly businesslike compliment, "You guys aren't bad either."

At this moment, Lu Jun stepped forward and asked, "So, did you get the Peru national emblem?"

"Oh, you're back so soon?" Jiang Yu was surprised, then joked, "Of course, after all, it's a small country with a weak magic level. If our China Team, one of the three giants, can't defeat them, wouldn't we be nothing but empty names?"

Everyone laughed when he said this, knowing that he was referring to the boastful words circulating on the Chinese internet.

Of course, they were also full of confidence. This team was much more united than previous teams, and their captain, Lu Jun, was clearly a level above other powerful nations.

In the lead-up to the National Prefecture War, the world's media, eager to capitalize on the hype, continuously reported on the experiences and challenges faced by teams from various countries, and secretly created various rankings to generate buzz and discussion.

Lu Jun consistently ranks among the top three on every list.

It must be said that these media outlets are quite adept at gathering intelligence.

But that's in the eyes of insiders. To laymen and onlookers, they seem to be deliberately stirring up trouble.

Because in the stereotypes of netizens around the world, what on earth is Kyushu?

"Oh my God, a country that has always been in the top 32 or 16, now their captain is ranked in the top three, and even surpasses our captain."

"Haha, just kidding, the magical superpower has never broken through the top sixteen in its history."

"Upstairs, are you referring to the mysterious Eastern superpower—India?"

"Ah, isn't that the 'great power' that didn't even make it into the top 32?"

The topic gradually shifted to criticizing Indians.

While most protested and watched with amusement, a small number of rational and neutral individuals offered their support.

"Buddy, if you'd actually seen 'Lu Jun's' past battle videos, you'd understand how terrifying this Asian guy is; he wouldn't be so arrogant."

"Look at this group of netizens getting all excited. I'm afraid they might really turn the tables if this continues."

These voices were quickly drowned out by the tide of discussion and could not withstand much turmoil.

Lu Jun and the others had never met him, but they had heard of him before, though they were too lazy to pay attention.

They left Peru safely. Since Lu Jun returned the Nasca Gem, the strange birds did not reappear, and naturally, nothing as disgusting as in the Original Timeline happened.

Peru was peaceful and serene, which saved Mo Fan a third of his Time Fluid.

Once everyone had crossed the border, Zhao Manyan said with relief, "As expected, those strange birds had their limits; how could they possibly turn into a hundred thousand Demon Beast invading?"

"If that were to happen, wouldn't an entire country be flattened?"

The others wholeheartedly agreed, and Jiang Yu said with a smile, "Exactly! With such a powerful restriction, those ancient people would have conquered the world long ago. I wonder what they would have used it for."

Lu Jun, standing beside him, shook his head. "Young people are so naive. In the end, I bore the brunt of everything. If I hadn't acted in secret, you wouldn't be laughing so happily now."

He really wanted to reply, "It's for fighting against the Amazon Empire."

However, time travel was too bizarre, and he didn't want too many people to know about the Sacred Eye of Time and Space.

The scions of prominent families present may not be of one mind; if they go back and tell their elders, wouldn't that cause unnecessary trouble?

Soon, the group received a letter from their mentor at the Nationalist government, announcing their next stop as Mexico.

They were required to hike along this sea route, which passes through Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, and many other countries between the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean, to Mexico...

Zhao Manyan was extremely dissatisfied with this. "Damn, this sea route is incredibly dangerous. It's said that there's a notorious pirate gang there, whose damage to the countries surrounding this area is second only to the Black Vatican. If we run into them, we'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun remembered which international bandits were involved: the [Red Ornament Society]!

The leader Kaso, is a top-tier High-Order Mage. His physical body, powered by Poison Element, rivals that of Commander Rank Demonic Beast and is on par with Kaso's Fourth Realm.

Next, the three National Team gathered together, but they couldn't defeat the enemy even when they joined forces. In the end, it was the American [Freedom Temple] mage who took action and finally captured him.

The Freedom Temple is one of the world's five continental-level Magic Association.

Furthermore, Lu Jun also knew who was behind the Red Ornament Society —the [Malicious Wolf Society]! Similar affiliated groups under its jurisdiction included the Silver Ornament Society, the Yellow Ornament Society, and so on.

Malicious Wolf Society say, the Bad Boys Association, Su Lu's underlings, were also the culprits behind the Fei Niao City children's incident.

This relationship is so interconnected, it's all so real.

As Lu Jun pondered, Jiang Yu spoke up again, shaking his head and explaining, "Crossing the Caribbean Sea would be better than going to the Amazon Great Forest for training."

"The Amazon is home to a vast empire of forest Demon Beast whose exact number has never been tallied. Their tribes and clans are everywhere. I believe that if we go to the Amazon for training, our training will end here."

The group shivered and stopped complaining.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Peru, South America, in a Buddhist temple, a sallow-faced monk prayed, his eyes closed as he spoke to a figure lurking in the shadows behind him, "Have you found the whereabouts of the Chinese National Team?"

The person in the shadows chuckled and said, "They just left Peru. You can trust the Assassin Hall to handle things."

"Well, I hope so."

Palm Leader Wu Ku sighed and instructed, "Remember to be careful when assassinating Mo Fan and Lu Jun. These two are hiding their unfathomable strength and have incredible luck."

"Haha, I, the Bei Jiang, have never failed to kill anyone I set my sights on. Even Super Rank mages have died at my hands multiple times."

The shadows shifted, a disdainful chuckle escaping its lips. Two greenhorn brats, a waste of talent. The only concern was China's fury, given that the National Prefecture War, attracting global attention; an assassination attempt would be a public slap in the face.

Chapter 343 Home Delivery

When the shadow conjured by the Bei Jiang left, the scene inside the Buddhist temple became dim.

The monk Wu Ku gently struck the wooden fish in front of the Buddha statue, letting out a barely perceptible sigh.

After their defeat, the Black Vatican scattered in all directions. After six months of regrouping, they traveled to South America and Europe, finally managing to establish a foothold.

Now Blue Bat has gone to Europe, and the joint Lead Conductor is underway, putting him in direct competition with Yan Qiu.

Wu Ku, on the other hand, came to South America, choosing to inherit Lord Salang's grand vision and continue to implement the plans that had already been laid out.

However, what troubled him was that with Cardinal Salang's death, the church was in disarray and everyone had their own agenda, making it difficult for him to unite all forces to restore the cause.

"How can Salang's will be carried forward by a bunch of insects?"

Wu Ku muttered to himself, thus making up his mind to carry out the assassination.

The first reason was naturally to avenge Lord Salang, and the second was to boost the prestige of the Black Vatican.

Many of Salang's followers were actually very dissatisfied with the fact that his two disciples, Blue Bat and Yan Qiu, were fighting amongst themselves and dying at the hands of their own people, unable to freely express their darkness to the world.

Once Wu Ku steps forward, raises his banner, and targets the National Team, which is of utmost concern to China, he will immediately inspire the people, and a large number of believers will automatically flock to him.

Whether successful or not, this act of avenging Salang is very popular.

Furthermore, followers of the other six Cardinal factions will also change their views accordingly.

After all, the first Cardinal to be captured in history had a huge impact, forcing many local Black Vatican to go into hiding and causing them to look down on Salang's colleagues.

To put it bluntly, Wu Ku is sitting back and doing nothing; he won't lose out no matter what.

According to his intelligence, the elusive dark abilities of the Bei Jiang have an extremely high success rate.

Thinking this, Wu Ku smiled, clasped his hands together, and murmured, "Amitabha, Buddha is merciful, good, good."

Little did they know, their entire scheme was seen clearly by Lu Jun, who was thousands of miles away.

At this moment, Lu Jun and the National Government officials walked to a small mountain village on the coast of the Caribbean Sea. Suddenly, he was in a daze when the passive activation of the Mind Element Primary Level 5 Magic was triggered.

His True Name Precognition; someone was chanting his name. This time, the aura that swept over him was quite unfamiliar, unlike the countless times before.

Buzz buzz buzz! How rare! He couldn't help but feel curious and immediately activated the fifth-level, low-tier Curse Element Primary Magic [Thousand Mile Soul Lock].

In an instant, Lu Jun's soul seemed to leave his body and fly to the heavens. His boundless Mental Power pierced through the darkness, and his vision spanned thousands of miles, landing in a dimly lit Buddhist temple.

He watched like a ghost, or like a ruthless god high above, coldly observing the conversation between Wu Ku and Bei Jiang, fully understanding what had just happened.

Buzz!

A few seconds later, Lu Jun was momentarily stunned, and his vision returned to normal.

Jiang Shaoxu was standing nearby, noticed a fluctuation of Mind Magic and mistakenly thought she was mistaken. Seeing him freeze, she asked with concern, "Captain, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." He shook his head, changed the subject, and pointed to the beautiful mountain village in front of them, where wildflowers were blooming everywhere. "Let's rest for a while up ahead."

"Yay! Long live the captain!"

Jiang Shaoxu's attention was indeed diverted, and everyone cheered. Hiking across the Caribbean Sea was indeed too tiring, and they could finally rest.

Lu Jun smiled, finally having time to ponder the scene from earlier.

"Interesting. After all this time, the two passive skills, Mind and Curse, can finally be put to use."

He sighed with emotion, "It wasn't easy. Before, these two passive skills were mostly used by girls or passersby, not by people plotting assassinations."

After a period of staged accidents, he caught a big fish.

Lu Jun naturally recognized Wu Ku and Bei Jiang. The former needed no introduction; he was someone Lu Jun had always longed to know. The latter was one of the four assassins of the Assassin Hall, a top-tier high-level expert.

That's not the point. The key is that he possesses the Innate Talent [Shadow Chaos Fusion Galaxy]. The Shadow Element and Chaos Element share a single planet, the significance of which is self-evident; it concerns Fusion Magic and is even crucial for breakthroughs.

Furthermore, the Dark Substance [Night Fiend] that he possessed was eventually transplanted into Mo Fan's Shadow Element, thus laying a solid foundation for the opponent's Shadow Element to become invincible.

"Tsk tsk tsk, assassinate me? This is practically a delivery to my doorstep."

Lu Jun was in a good mood. He had already acquired some of the characteristics of Fusion Magic in his God Ascension State and had long desired to perfectly master this method. He wanted to find the Bei Jiang in advance, but he didn't know where he was.

Now that's good, after killing the Bei Jiang, we can send his body to Feng Zhoulong in the Demon Capital Feng Zhoulong for research, and then go deep into the ocean to capture a Sea Monster called the [Four-Colored Demon] that can make multiple elements coexist.

It's only a matter of time before Old Feng creates Fusion Magic. When he has mastered all six high-level elements and the Fusion Method, even some mid-level Super Rank powerhouses who have mastered Supernatural Power will not be his match.
