Chapter 369: Chapter 368: Hiding One’s Talents and Biding Time, Deceiving the Heavens to Cross the Sea

Hearing that his brother’s death was truly related to Lu Zixun,

Lang Qian Yuan clenched his fists, "How exactly did my brother die?"

Youyou glanced at Lang Qian Yuan, and Lu Zixun shook his head, speaking indifferently, "Is asking this meaningful right now?"

Although Lu Zixun did not answer directly, Lang Qian Yuan was no fool and had already heard the implication in Lu Zixun’s words.

He pursed his lips and lowered his head, "Did my brother... do something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun suddenly thought of Lang Qianxing.

Reflecting on the vast changes in Lang Qianxing during that period, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but sigh to himself.

If Lang Qianxing had not been seduced by the Lingyang Turtle, would he be feeling very gratified now to see the Demon Country prospering so rapidly?

Unfortunately, in this world, there are no what-ifs.

"Your brother was, I suppose, my first friend in the Crimson Land, only it’s a pity."

Pausing for a moment, Lu Zixun went on to say, "He forgot why he initially wanted to unite the Demon Clan."

The moment Lu Zixun heard about Lang Qianxing’s actions against the Chang Ge Clan, he knew that Lang Qianxing had changed.

What he didn’t expect, however, was that Lang Qianxing would even think about getting rid of him, which left Lu Zixun with no choice but to take action against him.

While ruminating, Lu Zixun’s gaze fell upon Lang Qian Yuan, "Is this the purpose of your visit today, to ask me this?"

"I..."

A look of hesitation appeared on his face, and Lang Qianxing pursed his lips, "The Demon Country is now thriving; the Teeth Wolf Clan, being part of the Demon Clan yet remaining independent, can’t disassociate themselves, but because of my brother’s actions, I..."

After staring at Lang Qian Yuan for a while, Lu Zixun understood what he meant.

He wanted to lead the Teeth Wolf Clan to join the Demon Country, but because of what happened with Lang Qianxing, he still felt a barrier inside.

At this point, the role of pushing Ge Changming to the front became clear.

One could hear Lu Zixun saying, "If you want to join the Demon Country, go and discuss with Ge Changming. He’s the one handling the affairs of the Demon Country now."

Upon hearing this, Lang Qian Yuan was visibly surprised, looking up at Lu Zixun, "But isn’t the Demon Country..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when Lu Zixun interrupted, "I’m just a hands-off manager; I hardly handle the affairs of the Demon Country."

"I see, okay."

Watching Lang Qian Yuan’s departing figure, a sense of relief was apparent.

Lu Zixun shook his head and, raising a paw, patted his chest, DAMN, thinking he had come for revenge on behalf of Lang Qianxing.

Had Lang Qian Yuan suddenly taken action, Lu Zixun wouldn’t have been able to retaliate.

After all, he had promised Lang Qianxing to protect his younger brother and sister.

Feeling quite troubled, Lu Zixun decided to avoid the Lang siblings from now on.

For a cat, dealing with such complex relationships was too difficult.

He spent a day guarding the lower defense encampment, waiting for them to finish installing the detectors for the Insect Tide, before Lu Zixun leisurely returned to the Demon Country.

By then, the Demon Country had undergone significant changes.

Where Lu Zixun previously conducted his official duties, a framework for a new building now stood.

The green scaffolding nearby caught Lu Zixun by surprise.

"Brother Xun, you’re back."

At that moment, Ge Changming, wearing a yellow safety helmet, ran over and greeted Lu Zixun with a smile.

"Mhm."

Nodding slightly, Lu Zixun looked at the building in front of him and asked, "What’s the situation here? Why not start by constructing other places first?"

"This place, as the office area, is also the headquarters of Demon Country, so it definitely needs to be built first."

With a naive smile, Ge Changming continued, "Besides, I heard from the people of the Demon Spirit Cat Clan that the Cat Clan likes high places, so..."

Raising an eyebrow, Lu Zixun patted Ge Changming’s shoulder, "You’re considerate. So, where is the office located at the moment?"

"Follow me, Lord Xun."

Leading the way ahead, Ge Changming rattled on about a bunch of things.

Qing Yalin was responsible for foreign trade involving Spiritual Pattern Branches and had already achieved preliminary success.

At least for the next half month, the supplies within Demon Country wouldn’t be a concern.

With this batch of resources, the entire construction of Demon Country could be significantly renovated.

At the same time, the weapon manufacturing factories had started to operate, and once the products were finished, dealing with small-scale Insect Tides wouldn’t be a big problem.

After listening to Ge Changming’s report, Lu Zixun nodded slightly, a contemplative look appearing in his eyes, "So, now is the stage of accumulation."

"Yes, it can probably be understood that way."

Ge Changming smiled, "I didn’t expect the Demon Clan to develop so rapidly, it’s indeed a bit unbelievable."

"In the future, such changes will be commonplace. The difficult part will be how to deal with the Zhenfei personnel coming from Zone 12."

With a reminder, Lu Zixun said indifferently, "After all, if the Demon Clan’s development is too rapid and poses a threat to Zhenfei, things will not be that simple."

Ge Changming, who had not pondered this in detail before, now thought deeply and broke into a cold sweat, swallowing, "Such a situation shouldn’t occur, right? The Demon Clan hasn’t reached that point yet."

"It will."

Nodding solemnly, Lu Zixun said with a deep gaze, "The Power of Faith accumulated by the Heavenly Favored by now is probably enough for an A-level promotion, isn’t it? And how long has it been?"

Raising a claw, Lu Zixun continued, "In just three days, if this continues at this rate, how long do you think it will take for the Demon Clan’s high-end combat forces to form?"

Ge Changming stopped walking and took a deep breath, "Less than half a year."

"Perhaps even sooner."

With his tail swaying, Lu Zixun headed towards the room ahead, speaking as he walked, "But how much resources did it take for the Human Gathering Place to reach its current level?"

Opening his mouth in shock, Ge Changming was somewhat astonished, "They took five years."

"That’s why."

Lu Zixun pushed open the door and entered the temporary office, pulling a cushioned chair from a storage talisman, and hopped onto it, "Knowing how to keep a low profile and bide one’s time is a skill, but before that, the Heavenly Favored need to relocate."

"Brother Xun, you mean..."

Closing the room’s door, Ge Changming looked at Lu Zixun, puzzled.

"We must nurture our forces in secret, while reserving enough Power of Faith to maintain the needs of Demon Country for missions."

A flicker in his gaze, Lu Zixun spoke gravely, "Until our strength can confront Zhenfei, that’s when the Demon Clan will truly rise."

Nodding fiercely, Ge Changming said seriously, "Understood."

"Go on, I need to sleep for a bit."

Yawning, Lu Zixun licked his front paw and started ushering Ge Changming out.

By the time Lu Zixun awoke, he was covered with a plethora of documents.

Facing such an enormous workload, Lu Zixun closed his eyes; out of sight, out of mind.

"Brother Xun, Liu Wenxi is here."
