376: Chapter 375: Unexpected Joy 376: Chapter 375: Unexpected Joy He picked up his phone and glanced at it.
A fierce spark flickered in Lu Zixun’s eyes as he ntioned Xiong Kang’s arrival.
“Little bastard, which zone are you in?
I’ll co see you tomorrow.”
The ssage even included a photo of Xiong Kang.
At this mont, Lu Zixun finally understood the feeling “a day apart seems like three autumns.”
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun weighed his options for a mont, then sent a ssage indicating Zone 13.
Having Xiong Kang in Sha Fei, Lu Zixun felt secure facing the ferocious Insect Killing Competition.
At that ti, Xiong Kang at Tang Rong’s place in Zone 7, frowning slightly at the ntion of Zone 13, looked up at Tang Rong: “Sister-in-law, isn’t the ultimate target of the recent Insect Killing Competition Zone 13?”
“Huh?”
After thinking for a mont, Tang Rong shook her head, “I’m not too clear on that; you should ask your Ninth Brother.”
After typing a ssage on the screen, Xiong Kang stood up with a smile, “Sister-in-law, I’m off then, going to check out Zone 10.”
“Leaving now?
Why not stay a few more days?
Yaya still wants to see you.”
“No, I’ll co again after a while.
When I do, I’ll bring back the big cat—Da Ju—that Yaya likes.”
Standing at the door, watching Xiong Kang soar into the sky with Sword Control, Tang Rong shook her head, puzzled.
Da Ju must be the big cat Yaya talks about.
Has it also reached A-grade and co to the Crimson Land?
“The Insect Killing Competition seems to be aid at Zone 13; et outside Zone 10, I’ll co to you.”
Seeing this ssage from Xiong Kang ward Lu Zixun’s heart.
Indeed, family is the most reliable after all; pity he couldn’t leave himself.
Overlooking the bustling Demon Country from above, Lu Zixun let out a silent sigh.
He was the reason these Demon Clan folks had gathered together.
If he abandoned them now, leaving them to be slaughtered to extinction by the Human and Demon Clan, Lu Zixun would be haunted by his conscience.
“Lord Xun, we already have one S-grade brother.”
Geng Xiyuan landed agilely beside Lu Zixun, a smile on his face: “The Power of Faith has grown a lot faster recently.
We should have another one by the end of the month.”
“Okay.”
Nodding, Lu Zixun said carelessly, “Tell him to conceal his strength, we can’t afford any exposure.”
Turning to look at Lu Zixun, Geng Xiyuan arched an eyebrow, “Lord Xun, you seem to be in a bad mood?”
Nodding slightly, Lu Zixun exhaled a sigh.
Pulling out a beer from his talisman storage, he tossed it to Geng Xiyuan, “If Demon Country keeps progressing like this, in half a year it might stand against the Insect Clan, if only…
we had half a year.”
Realizing the confusion in Lu Zixun’s heart, Geng Xiyuan took a swig of his beer, grinning, “Lord Xun, maybe you’re not aware, but with your leadership, the Demon Clan is now full of hope for the future.
Don’t worry about the Insect Killing Competition.”
Geng Xiyuan wiped the foam from his mouth and spread his arms to embrace the night wind, “It’s best if a war doesn’t break out, but if it does, then we fight.
The people of the Demon Clan are no cowards—they’re filled with ttle.
Let’s kick their asses!”
Hearing this, Lu Zixun laughed, shaking his head at Geng Xiyuan’s words, “Exactly right, if we can’t co to an agreent, then let’s kick their asses.”
…
“I’ve looked into the Insect Killing Competition and found many clues.”
As soone on the inside, Xiong Kang had managed to understand what had recently transpired in the Crimson Land in just one day.
What Xiong Kang didn’t expect was that Lu Zixun had actually taken up the role of leader in Demon Country, which was simply astonishing.
“What clues?”
Knowing that Lu Zixun wouldn’t be leaving Demon Country anyti soon, Xiong Kang inquired soberly after making so inquiries.
“This matter… initially, it was rely intended to improve the combat abilities of the younger generation, but then, for so reason, the Light and Shadow Association reached out to Zhenfei.”
Lu Zixun’s mind raced, and he imdiately realized that it was indeed his own doing.
Had he not exerted his full strength in Zone 12 before, perhaps these events wouldn’t have occurred?
It was only after Xiong Kang ntioned that the Light and Shadow Association had made contact before Lu Zixun had acted that Lu Zixun’s concerns were alleviated.
“The establishnt of Demon Country is, at least for the Human Gathering Place—um, especially for Sha Fei—a good thing.”
Pausing for a mont, Xiong Kang rubbed his temples, “Only the commander overseeing Zone 12 keeps disparaging Demon Country and with the Light and Shadow Association’s intentional outreach…”
Understanding Xiong Kang’s implication, Lu Zixun licked his paw, “Why would the Light and Shadow Association specifically reach out to Sha Fei?”
“On this point, there’s no official answer, but my guess is that it’s still because of Zone 14.”
Xiong Kang shook his head, “The Demon Clan’s thod for increasing strength is known to utilize the Power of Faith.”
“After all, before this, various demon tribes were scattered all over Zone 13, so naturally, their strength wouldn’t increase much.”
“But with the establishnt of Demon Country, gathering these tribes together poses a problem.”
Lu Zixun interjected, “It accelerates the convergence of the Power of Faith.”
Knocking on the table, Xiong Kang nodded seriously, “That’s exactly it.
In the short term, it’s not a problem.
But if this continues in the long term, it will eventually threaten Zone 14.”
“That’s why the Light and Shadow Association approached Zhenfei, using this Insect Killing Competition as a pretext to eliminate the Demon Clan.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun felt the commander of Zhenfei was really sick, saying with so displeasure, “That’s all?
What’s the na of this commander, I’m going to kill him.”
“The reason for the commander’s resolution.”
Xiong Kang, with a telling smile watching Lu Zixun’s reaction on the screen, said, “So people’s idea to sell Spiritual Pattern Branches.”
So after all this roundabout, it was still sowhat related to him.
Lu Zixun rolled over in his chair, speechless, “Alright, let’s drop that topic.
I want to know Sha Fei’s stance.”
“Right now, due to issues with supplies, the relationship between Zhenfei and Sha Fei is quite tense.
With the advent of the Insect Killing Competition easing relations, Sha Fei naturally takes pleasure in it.”
Pursing his lips, Xiong Kang said, “The higher-ups advise against exterminating the Demon Clan, proposing instead a policy of repression, but it was rejected.”
Hearing Xiong Kang say this, Lu Zixun’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Does that an Sha Fei’s forces won’t be entering Zone 13?”
“That’s right.”
Nodding significantly, Xiong Kang said, “As long as Demon Country reaches a certain level of strength, given how dearly Zhenfei cherishes its high-level combat power, they definitely won’t act rashly.”
What unfolded next was almost as Lu Zixun had predicted.
The weight in his heart lifted in an instant, and his mood beca much brighter.
“In a few days, I’ll discuss it with Ninth Brother, and then I’ll co to see you.”
