Chapter 1098: Chapter 451: Orthodox Evolution Sect

Meng Yawen clearly recognized Wu Chang’s True Self. The moment she saw him, she didn’t hesitate for a second and turned to slip away.

The surface of her body was wrapped in the Power of Root, and she took out an item emitting a Space aura, ready to teleport outside the Immortal Mansion.

But since their paths crossed, Wu Chang wouldn’t just let her leave like that.

He used short-distance teleportation, first appearing next to Meng Yawen, then unfolding his Mystical Domain to interrupt her Space Item effect.

He smiled and said, "Since you’re here, why rush to leave?"

Meng Yawen’s Power of Root shone brightly, and she placed her right arm flat in front of her, charging towards Wu Chang’s Mystical Domain.

"I suddenly remembered that I left my water running at home, let’s chat another time."

Meng Yawen’s Power of Root was extremely solid, striking heavily against the edge of the Mystical Domain, causing the entire domain to tremble violently.

If Wu Chang hadn’t gained the Literary Fortune, strengthening his Root Domain effect, a regular Lord Level Mystical Domain would have been pierced directly by Meng Yawen.

Wu Chang looked at Meng Yawen, who was bounced back beside him by the recoil force, and said with a half-smile:

"Got some free time now?"

Meng Yawen looked at Wu Chang beside her, hesitated for just a moment, and then gave up the idea of fighting.

A person’s reputation stands like a shadow; in the Desolate Realm, even the most uninformed players know of the great name of Peace.

Now she couldn’t even break through the other’s Root Domain. The gap between them was evident, continuing to resist would only bring humiliation upon herself.

She awkwardly glanced at Wu Chang and said, "I suddenly remembered, I use an electric kettle at home, so there’s no rush."

Wu Chang raised an eyebrow, recognizing Meng Yawen’s adaptability saved him a lot of trouble.

While they talked, Yuan Yan had already arrived from the center of the island, a step slower, but he had watched Wu Chang and Meng Yawen’s exchange closely.

He came up to Wu Chang and asked, "Need any help?"

Wu Chang, being part of the Human Dao League and having inherited the Literary Fortune, was seen as one of Yuan Yan’s own.

Wu Chang shook his head and said:

"We’re old acquaintances, just a greeting, nothing serious. There’s no need for Yuan Junior Minister to worry about us, activating the array eye is more important."

Yuan Yan glanced at Meng Yawen, seeing deep clarity without hostility in her eyes, decided to not interfere with the matters of the two Celestial Beings, and headed towards the first level of the Immortal Mansion after saluting Wu Chang.

After Yuan Yan left, only Wu Chang and Meng Yawen were left on the island. With a thought, Wu Chang revealed a stone pavilion at the center of the island. He gestured towards it and said:

"Shall we chat inside?"

Meng Yawen had no choice but to follow behind Wu Chang.

Wu Chang walked in front, yet his attention was always on Meng Yawen.

Her presence here indicated her World Dungeon qualification ranking was among the top ten, and combined with the powerful Power of Root she displayed now, it clearly showed that her strength and dungeon strategies placed her as a leader in the Desolate Realm.

Recalling Meng Yawen’s near destruction of the Mystical Domain, Wu Chang suspected that even before Leng Shan entered the Steam Phantom, Meng Yawen might not have been an opponent, but now they might be sixty to forty.

Sixty percent being Meng Yawen.

Such strength, quite different from what she previously revealed at the Management Bureau.

If it weren’t for Fang Hui being kidnapped by the Bliss Sect, forcing Meng Yawen to display her strength at the Underground Shelter, Wu Chang wouldn’t have realized she was hiding so deeply.

This had made Wu Chang curious about her identity, but unfortunately, she hid too well, and he had never been able to find her.

Now that Meng Yawen voluntarily appeared, if he didn’t find out a bit more, he wouldn’t easily let her leave.

The two came to the stone pavilion. Wu Chang sat in it, leisurely admiring the snowy scenery of Megrez Lake, while Meng Yawen, somewhat resigned, leaned against the stone pavilion’s railing, waiting for Wu Chang’s questions.

Wu Chang did not rush to ask questions, enjoying the snowy scenery for ten minutes first, adding some psychological pressure on Meng Yawen.

Only when Meng Yawen went from nonchalant to anxious did he suddenly withdraw his gaze from Megrez Lake, focusing on the tablet in Meng Yawen’s hand.

He said, "The thing in your hand, is the other end connected to the Bright Society?"

Meng Yawen’s heart skipped a beat; she didn’t expect Wu Chang’s opening remark to be so sharp. She subconsciously said, "Yes."

As soon as she said it, she regretted it, feeling that it put her at a disadvantage, and immediately added, "No wonder you’re the strongest in the Desolate Realm, Peace, you know quite a lot."

Wu Chang shrugged, it wasn’t hard to guess.

During the time as colleagues at the Wanghai Branch, he hadn’t seen through Meng Yawen’s strength, but he did discern her character.

People may change their scenery but not their nature, and what is ingrained in one’s bones cannot be completely hidden. Although Meng Yawen was meticulous, her style clearly preferred action over thought.

People like this generally aren’t too smart.

If the two had met at the Kaiyang Immortal Mansion, he would believe Meng Yawen relied on her own strength, but now it was the Megrez Immortal Mansion, and Meng Yawen breaking through the fourth test could only mean, like him, she sought outside help.

Not many people had that capability, and combined with the tablet in Meng Yawen’s hand, it wasn’t hard to guess that it was, again, the Bright Society’s network deity at play.

He continued:

"Aren’t you afraid that our conversation would be overheard by him?"

Meng Yawen said, "Rest assured, he can’t hear. Passing through the World Dungeon’s barrier isn’t that simple; maintaining constant contact is very draining. I’ll only contact him when needed."
