"Interesting," Xiong Kang replied with a sarcastic smile, "No problem. Given Zhenfei’s strength, as long as these five people die legitimately, it won’t be of much concern."
With Xiong Kang’s reminder, Lu Zixun immediately understood how to deal with these five individuals.
He smiled knowingly and said, "They will certainly die of natural causes, after all, Demon Country is a place that loves peace."
The Light and Shadow Association’s attempts to regulate the insect extermination competition had become a joke, and the matter seemed to be drawing to a close.
As for whether more people from the Light and Shadow Association would come, Lu Zixun said he couldn’t care less.
These people probably prayed to their Lord every day and turned themselves into fools with no combat ability whatsoever, focused only on duping new devotees.
It was just uncertain whether there were members of the Insect Clan in the Light and Shadow Association.
If so, how would this Lord and His followers divide their faith?
Lu Zixun, with undisguised disdain in his eyes for the Light and Shadow Association, expressed that given the chance, he definitely would uproot the organization entirely.
True faith is supposed to raise people up, not bring them to their knees.
After sending Xiong Kang away, Lu Zixun, who felt the silence without conversation, took out a tablet to play games.
However, before he could play for long, Geng Xiyuan came to him with a serious expression, "Brother Xun, we have a problem."
Lu Zixun put the tablet on the table and looked up at Geng Xiyuan, "What’s the issue that’s got you looking so grave?"
"Insect eggs have been found within Demon Country by En Shuo, and they seem to have been developing for some time."
Pausing, Geng Xiyuan continued, "What’s more strange is that Ge Changming’s intelligence system had no idea when these insect eggs entered Demon Country."
Lu Zixun, not expecting such news, raised an eyebrow: "Really? Now that’s interesting. It seems that even the Demon Clan can have... traitors."
"Brother Xun, you mean..."
Geng Xiyuan, quickly catching on, looked deep and asked, "We have a mole?"
"End the transaction?"
Seeing that Geng Xiyuan didn’t get the meme, Lu Zixun chuckled, "There definitely are moles, and most likely they are in Ge Changming’s department; otherwise, it would not have been easy to evade Shadow’s observation."
With a sneer, Lu Zixun’s tail flicked a few times, "Alright, let Ge Changming conduct a thorough investigation. After finding this traitor, don’t let him die; he might still be useful."
Who in the Demon Clan would bring insect eggs into Demon Country...
Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
He wasn’t very familiar with the Insect Clan’s internal factions; it seemed time to have Ge Changming investigate thoroughly.
After this event, Lu Zixun lost the mood to play games, his ears twitching slightly.
The troubles in Demon Country were not just from Zhenfei; they also had the Insect Clan lying in wait.
Once Demon Country developed, it would surely strike against Zone 14.
This wasn’t something that Lu Zixun believed the Insect Clan would overlook. The presence of insect eggs within his territory was a clear warning to him.
He had been too focused on Zhenfei’s actions, neglecting the existence of the Insect Clan, which was a mistake.
Taking a cup of milk tea from the stored talismans, Lu Zixun drank and pondered: if he were in the Insect Clan’s position, how would he deal with the Demon Clan?
First, the information must be accurate; moreover, the simplest way to dissolve a power is to start from within.
At that moment, Lu Zixun suddenly felt that this tactic seemed awfully familiar to Tan Ye.
It couldn’t really be Tan Ye, could it?
After considering for a while, Lu Zixun shook his head.
That guy has already broken through to King-level; he probably wouldn’t stoop to such things... right?
"Ran You, make a cup of milk tea."
He called out to the kitchen.
Chen Yue looked at Lu Zixun, "Lord Xun, friendly as we are, I still have to charge for this cup of milk tea. Small business, you know."
Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow and shook his head, "Fine then, I’ll have a cup of milk tea."
"I’ll wring you dry."
"This is also part of our transport duties; we’re just stopping by," Chen Yue said with a smile.
"Lord Xun, you’ve saved us so many times, it’s only natural that we help you out this once."
Lu Zixun walked from the back door to the middle of the shop, yawning as his gaze settled on Chen Yue, "Aren’t you part of the transport team? How come you’ve started running errands like a merchant?"
He stood on the street where Ge Changming, at Lu Zixun’s request, had set up the shop.
Tang Tianyu, who was constantly calling out to passersby, revealed a smile when he saw Lu Zixun in the crowd.
"We have all the items from the Human Gathering Place right here, clear pricing, fair to young and old!"
By the time Lu Zixun saw the man, he felt a bittersweet amusement, a sense of ’so that’s how it is’.
He heard that Yunling Street had welcomed a group of human merchants.
Lu Zixun wanted to go and see who had the guts to come to the Demon Country at this time.
Today, Lu Zixun did not go to Pan Building; instead, after some thought, he turned and walked towards Yunling Street.
Two weeks remained until the Insect Killing Competition, and Lu Zixun had also received the Demon Clan relic sent by Zi Taoming—a protective artifact for his arm.
Lu Zixun found it to fit his arm perfectly, as if it were made specifically for him.
"The Demon God’s protection can shield its wearer from Emperor-level damage—it’s an SS-class superpower item."
"Note: What can I do for you? Nothing, really. This world is just an illusion; don’t be deceived."
These words about the world being an illusion came from the mouth of the Demon God.
Why is it just an illusion? Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, unable to fathom the reason.
It seemed he had to investigate who this Demon God really was.
Being able to block damage from Emperor-level, Lu Zixun had decided to keep wearing it.
The item itself was quite good; it was just the name and the note that were intriguing.
Lu Zixun stood up, shook his fur, and after downing his milk tea, decided to roam around inside the Demon Country. But before that, he needed to deal with a person.
Just the development within the Demon Country was causing him to start losing some hair—not a good sign.
It’s not that Lu Zixun wanted to think only positively, but he just didn’t want to face someone as overbearing as Tan Ye; it was too mentally exhausting.
Despite saying this, after Lu Zixun finished his milk tea, Chen Yue and the others did not charge him.
As Lu Zixun headed back to Pan Building, he felt a certain sense of wonder.
In this Human Gathering Place, while there was still some uncertainty about the Demon Country, Tang Tianyu and his team moved in to sell their goods.
It was undoubtedly a message to the Human Gathering Place that the Demon Country was not as barbaric as believed.
However, the actions of Tang Tianyu’s team would undoubtedly infuriate Zhenfei, something Tang Tianyu must have considered.
Shaking his head, Lu Zixun thought that during the Insect Killing Competition, he should look out for Tang Tianyu’s team a bit more.
But for now, Lu Zixun had someone he needed to meet.
