"Lord Xun, are we going to participate in the battle for supremacy?"
Ge Changming, who seldom disagreed with Lu Zixun’s decisions, now looked at him puzzled, "I admit that Sha Fei’s attitude towards the Demon Country is still quite good, but Zhenfei and the Three Prefectures are a lot worse. I think we shouldn’t participate, instead we should conserve our strength and build energy."
Knowing that Ge Changming had misunderstood his intention, Lu Zixun did not say much.
Instead, he looked at Ge Changming with an amused expression, "Go on."
Seeing that Lu Zixun was not angry, Ge Changming continued, "If we help the Human Gathering Place and win this battle, the three regions that will emerge will likely exclude the Demon Country."
"And with the Human Gathering Place having more resources, Sha Fei might still be negotiable, but Zhenfei and the Three Prefectures will definitely target the Demon Country even more."
It must be said, Ge Changming’s concerns were not without reason.
However, Lu Zixun chuckled lightly, "Be confident, remove ’likely,’ it is certain that the Demon Country won’t have a share."
Pausing for a moment, Lu Zixun continued, "We are not participating in the battle for supremacy. During the conflict, our goal is to significantly weaken the Insect Clan’s power, after all, let’s not forget who our real enemy is."
At this, Lu Zixun’s eyes grew deep, "Being cunning within our nests is no real skill."
Hearing this, Ge Changming, suddenly grasping Lu Zixun’s meaning, his pupils dilated and after a long while, he licked his lips, "Brother Xun, this may not be quite according to the rules."
Indeed, the suggestion Lu Zixun made was very tempting for Ge Changming.
If they could use the battle for supremacy to greatly weaken the Insect Clan’s capabilities...
Then when the battle ends, the Demon Country could seize the opportunity to launch an attack and take over another region as well.
Repeating the word, Lu Zixun squinted his eyes and said, "We are also acting within the rules. Who said we broke them?"
Every year’s battle for supremacy has never seen the participation of the Demon Clan, so naturally, there are no rules concerning the participation of the Demon Clan.
Or rather, the Human and Insect Clans simply look down on the Demon Clan.
Since there are no rules regarding this, the Demon Country participating in the battle to hit the Insect Clan isn’t breaking any specific rule.
Giving Lu Zixun a thumbs up, Ge Changming smiled like an old fox, "Brother Xun, I’ll go gather some information."
Ge Changming had just left the office when he turned and came back, "Brother Xun, Qingqing invited us to dinner tonight, don’t forget."
After giving Ge Changming an understanding look, Lu Zixun’s gaze returned to the computer screen, observing the latest developments from Ling.
With artificial intelligence and time, the Demon Country would grow rapidly.
It had already reached the level of a Second-level Civilization, no different from human society.
Lu Zixun believed that soon, defending the Demon Country wouldn’t be so difficult.
But Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, thinking of something.
Now that he possessed J-level strength, he felt that the world of the Crimson Land didn’t seem very real.
To be precise, too many things were odd.
In this vast area, the strongest entity Lu Zixun had seen was probably only Yuan Yu.
And that was only because its power had been sealed, allowing Lu Zixun to see beings above I-Level.
So the question arose, where had the existences above I-Level gone.
At that moment, Lu Zixun remembered the towering Trial Tower and the mysterious Forgotten Land, his eyes narrowing perhaps, these places could provide some answers.
"Lonely moonlight flashes in an arc~"
The ringing of his cellphone snapped Lu Zixun back to reality.
"Da Ju, I’ve arrived at the Crimson Academy."
Lin Siyin’s voice came through the phone, lifting Lu Zixun’s spirits.
"That’s good, that’s good, did Kang Ning arrange everything for you?"
Hesitating for a moment, Lin Siyin spoke, "It’s just that it seems a bit different from what Xiong Kang mentioned. It’s not a month, but I’ll have to undergo a year of educational study before I can officially enter the Crimson Land."
Feeling deceived inside, Lu Zixun at this moment wished he could fly to Zone 9 and kill Xiong Kang.
After waiting a while without hearing Lu Zixun’s voice, Lin Siyin thought it might be a signal issue and called out twice.
Inside, Lu Zixun was full of curses, but he still maintained a smile on his face, "No worries, study hard, and I’ll come to see you later."
"Sure, let me tell you, this Crimson Academy is really big, it’s bigger than Yu Ren High School..."
Listening to Lin Siyin recount her experiences that day, Lu Zixun was very patient, no longer irritable as before, but finding it rather heartwarming.
After chatting with Lin Siyin about family matters, Lu Zixun gave a few more words of caution before hanging up the phone with peace of mind.
Lu Zixun still hadn’t given Lin Siyin the growth-type auxiliary equipment from Billions of Stars.
After all, ’a man without guilt, a treasure his crime’ – Lu Zixun understood this principle well.
He planned to wait until Lin Siyin broke through to J-level before giving it to her to use; by then, there should be no problems.
Previously, when Ge Changming and others went to investigate the matters concerning the Ouyang Family, they failed to uncover any useful information.
However, Lin Siyin’s arrival had made up Lu Zixun’s mind; it appeared a personal visit was necessary.
The next day around noon, having stayed the night at the war experiment, Lu Zixun, with red-rimmed eyes, walked out.
This confrontation with the shell made Lu Zixun deeply realize his shortcomings.
After extra training all night, he finally came up with some solutions.
The cost, however, was extraordinarily heavy; staying up all night had made him extremely irritable.
"Brother Xun, the Demon Country has now successfully integrated Obsidian into the city walls, its function..."
Halfway through talking, Ge Changming, hearing a steady breathing sound, looked up to find that Lu Zixun was already asleep.
Sighing softly, Ge Changming silently left the office.
When Lu Zixun awoke, it was already evening.
Still in a trance, Lu Zixun pulled out his phone, feeling a sense of isolation.
As the saying goes, "When you’re home alone, never sleep in the afternoon," this saying really makes sense.
[Upper-class people, are the Hopeful People truly so noble?]
After ordering takeout from the chef, Lu Zixun saw an interesting headline on the Night Language Forum.
The initial rumors started by Ge Changming...Well, they weren’t exactly rumors, but rather revelations of the truth, hadn’t they been glossed over by Zhenfei?
How could it have surfaced again?
Driven by curiosity, Lu Zixun clicked into it and read, his face turning steely.
This was not a lawsuit post at all, but a rhythm post aimed at setting the pace against the Demon Country.
