"These... Are they all just your guesses?"
With her heart struck, Si Keke’s face wore a look of utter despair.
At this, Lu Zixun merely smiled and said nothing.
Merely thinking about these matters for one day had already caused him severe hair loss.
If he couldn’t clear things up, it would be time to think about how to escape.
First and foremost was the reason the Insect Breeding Ground dared to connect here.
What they called global connection was actually just global warfare.
If the Insect Breeding Ground didn’t have full confidence, Lu Zixun didn’t believe they would dare to come.
Next was the unashamed, impatient alliance of the Crimson, which from another perspective showed the importance Crimson placed on the Insect Breeding Ground.
They were unwilling to see even the slightest change.
From just these two points, Lu Zixun could sense that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
And Si Keke’s visit naturally confirmed Lu Zixun’s suspicions.
"In the results of my divination, I didn’t see any sign of the Demon Country."
Pausing for a moment, Si Keke said seriously, "What does the Demon Country plan to do next?"
With a spread of his paws, Lu Zixun shook his head. "You’re asking the current me what the future me will do; how would I know what he’s done?"
"But, your actions now will affect the future path."
Frowning, Si Keke sighed, "I know about your conflict with Crimson, but those people in human society are innocent."
"I wish Crimson would die."
With a cold laugh, Lu Zixun got up, "If I’m not mistaken, your divination results neither mentioned the Demon Country nor Crimson, right?"
Observing Si Keke’s expression, Lu Zixun didn’t wait for her to speak before he had confirmed this data.
Lu Zixun’s cold smile deepened by three: "It seems that the so-called Crimson isn’t the noble character they claim to be, fighting to the end for the sake of human survival."
"Sometimes, your keenness on these matters greatly exceeds my expectations." Sighing, Si Keke pursed her lips.
"Since you already know about these things, you should do something to stop them."
With a tone full of certainty, it seemed she was sure Lu Zixun would do just that.
However, this point...
Actually, Si Keke guessed it right.
Lu Zixun naturally intended to prevent the Insect Breeding Ground from taking over Crimson Land.
But how to prevent it still required a solid plan.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zixun decided not to reveal his hand to Si Keke but gave a non-committal answer, "Perhaps."
Seeing Si Keke wanted to say something more, Lu Zixun, tiredly said, "We’ll discuss this after the Insect Breeding Ground has connected. Then you can do another divination."
Since the master had issued a command to leave, Si Keke, though wanting to ask more, had to hold her questions and await her next encounter with Lu Zixun.
When Si Keke left, Lu Zixun’s gaze fell on a shadow in the room. "Shadow, have you contacted Liao Fan?"
"Lord Xun, I have made contact."
The shadow emerged from the darkness and knelt on one knee before Lu Zixun, "Crimson is currently making pre-war preparations, and so far, no anomalies have been detected."
"Tell Liao Fan to be more cautious, and keep a closer eye on Liao Fan as well; this matter cannot afford any mishaps."
Twitching his lips, Lu Zixun felt a headache come on, "If possible, make more contact with those families in the Human Gathering Place; they might know something."
The room returned to silence.
Lu Zixun silently sighed, gazing at the overcast sky outside the window, and murmured, "Winter is coming."
"We need to plan this area as the transport site for Crimson Academy, allowing Crimson Academy to provide effective support."
In the Insect Slaying Zone (consolidation area), Wang Linfan was directing the students of Crimson Academy in setting up the portal, with Lin Siyin also there.
As one of the top three Crimson Land talismanic power wielders, these tasks certainly required Lin Siyin’s direct oversight for Wang Linfan’s peace of mind.
Coincidentally, Wang Duli was also present.
Seeing Lin Siyin, he walked over quickly, "Little Yin, seeing your master, why aren’t you greeting him?"
The familiar voice made Lin Siyin stiffen.
Looking up at Wang Duli, Lin Siyin smiled faintly, "Greetings, Elder Wang."
"Such a formal title doesn’t suit us, master and disciple."
Sighing somewhat, Wang Duli stroked his beard, "I know, some of my actions might have given you some wrong impressions? But no worries, later I can..."
With a slight upward curve of her lips, Lin Siyin spoke, "Elder Wang, you may be mistaken; my master would never resort to scheming against my boyfriend. He’s already dead. Secondly, I’m not interested in the actions you mentioned, so could you please not disturb my work?"
With a slightly displeased expression, Wang Duli managed a strained smile, "Little Yin, it seems you have a serious misunderstanding of me, this..."
"You managed to learn the talismanic techniques because of the master’s careful guidance back then!"
Standing behind Wang Duli, Song Qian stepped forward, scolding Lin Siyin, "You dare not respect the master enough, and even curse him to be dead, you disrespectful..."
Before Song Qian could finish her reprimand, she was frozen into an ice sculpture.
Lu Zixun appeared beside Lin Siyin, patting her head.
His gaze fell on Wang Duli, "Elder Wang, your ’new’ disciple doesn’t know how to speak. I’ll teach her a lesson for you, if that’s okay?"
"Lord Xun, as an I-Level strength user, lacking even this bit of magnanimity might be somewhat unfitting for a distinguished position," Wang Duli said, while drawing a talisman trying to free Song Qian from the ice.
"You’re absolutely right, as an I-Level strength user..."
Pausing, Lu Zixun raised his hand, and a surge of cold air flowed, "Of course, I need to freeze both you and your disciple for two hours to vent for my dear Siyin."
Two human-shaped ice sculptures appeared in the Insect Slaying Zone.
Wang Linfan saw this scene and instantly turned his head away as if he had seen nothing, and others did the same.
"Lord Xun, Wang Duli was at fault earlier, and Song Qian was also a little too hasty."
Qing Yuanyang landed from the air, smiling at Lu Zixun, "They deserve a bit of a lesson, but two hours might be a bit much; how about you show some leniency, maybe one hour?"
"Ding—Detected a scrutinizing value from Qing Yuanyang of +68000."
An I-Level Spiritual Ability User.
Lu Zixun thought for a moment, summoned the Night Evil Sword, "Pleading? Fight me, then release them."
