Chapter 375: Chapter 374 Burying the Nail

A weary Lu Zixun rose and made his way to the reception room.

Quan Yifang’s true form was a Sharp Clawed Tiger, and his human form was a big man with a tiger’s back and a bear’s waist, appearing extremely reckless.

If one were to trade with him based solely on the first impression, they would definitely suffer a huge loss.

This guy’s thoughts were as meticulous, almost catching up to Liu Wenxi’s.

"Lord Xun."

With a smile towards Lu Zixun, Quan Yifang finally spoke, "May I know what Lord Xun has called me here for today?"

Observing Quan Yifang’s casual demeanor, Lu Zixun instructed someone to serve tea and then said slowly, "Let’s discuss a matter concerning the existence of the Demon Clan in Zone 13."

The tea-drinking motion halted, Quan Yifang swallowed his tea, put down his cup, and looked at Lu Zixun with a silent laugh.

"With the Demon Country presiding, who could possibly seal the fate of the Demon Clan with a single word?"

Hearing the faint sarcasm in Quan Yifang’s words, Lu Zixun was not annoyed.

Instead, he looked at Quan Yifang with interest, "Lord Quan, I wonder if you are aware of a competition recently held at the Human Gathering Place called ’Exterminate Bugs’?"

After thinking for a bit and realizing that it was indeed the case, Quan Yifang silently nodded, "It seems there was such an event, but what does this have to do with our Demon Clan or Zone 13?"

"I suggest Lord Quan have someone investigate it. If you still think this matter has nothing to do with our Demon Clan, then you might as well hand over Zone 13 to the Human Clan and Demon Clan," said Lu Zixun chuckling lightly.

Listening to the seriousness in Lu Zixun’s tone, it didn’t seem like a threat or intimidation.

Quan Yifang’s expression became solemn, and he said earnestly, "Lord Xun, give me five minutes."

After making a "please" gesture, he watched Quan Yifang leave the reception room.

Lu Zixun pondered over something, realizing that merely increasing the Demon Clan’s strength might not be enough; he needed a few allies.

Whether these allies were from the Human Clan or the Insect Clan didn’t matter, as long as they could vouch for the Demon Clan after showcasing its power.

As Lu Zixun considered the best candidates, Quan Yifang returned with a grim expression, looking down on Lu Zixun, "Lord Xun, what do you need us to do?"

"Have a seat first."

Lu Zixun smiled, "It’s not a life-or-death situation yet; there’s no need for such solemnity."

After calming himself, Quan Yifang’s gaze fell on Lu Zixun, "I hadn’t expected that the Human and Insect Clans really wanted to annihilate the Demon Clan. If it weren’t for Lord Xun’s vigilance, we might truly have faced extinction."

Looking at Quan Yifang, who was evidently trying to flatter him, Lu Zixun stood up and squatted on the chair, "Now that Lord Quan has grasped the current situation, I wonder if you have any wise suggestions?"

Hearing that Lu Zixun wanted to know his thoughts, which carried a forcing tone,

Quan Yifang pondered for a moment, "I can’t think of any strategy to break the deadlock. The Demon Clan might not be able to hold off if this fierce attack continues. If Lord Xun has any ideas, I... will have my brothers enter Demon Country and assist Lord Xun."

Pleased with the response, Lu Zixun licked his paw, "You know, Quan, I think you are still capable of facing against the Demon Country. It’s just necessary to get in touch with the people from the Human Gathering Place, do you understand?"

The keen address made Quan Yifang stare at Lu Zixun for a while.

Then, shaking his head and laughing, "Indeed, the Demon Country wouldn’t have its current scale merely by luck. Tell me who I need to contact."

"Contact the Commander of Zone 5, Yang Tianzhi."

Lu Zixun’s eyes flashed with a deep color, "After all, your territory is close to Zone 5. In case things go south, seeking refuge in Zone 5 to save your clan seems like a wise choice."

Grasping Lu Zixun’s intentions in an instant, Quan Yifang tapped his fingers on the table, seemingly considering the feasibility.

After a while, Quan Yifang said, "Lord Xun, do you mean, you want me to be a mole?"

"No no no."

Shaking his head and his whiskers quivering, Lu Zixun clarified, "If you were to be a mole, Yang Tianzhi wouldn’t trust you either. The purpose of this mission is to make the people of Zhenfei know that even the Demon Clan people don’t fully trust the power of the Demon Country."

After this explanation, Quan Yifang immediately understood what Lu Zixun meant and shook his head, "I get it now. I will take care of this matter, but..."

He paused, looking at Lu Zixun, "I hope you truly have the means to resist this combined force of the Human and Insect Clans, and not just taking a gamble. Otherwise, don’t blame me for kicking you while you’re down."

"Of course, I wouldn’t blame you. Isn’t this giving you a way out?"

Lying back in his chair, Lu Zixun said leisurely, "If you do end up kicking me while I’m down, it would only be natural."

Lord Xun’s straightforwardness made me feel somewhat embarrassed,"

With a meaningful look at Lu Zixun, Quan Yifang sincerely added, "But I also don’t hope for that to happen. If you need me, just contact me directly."

After sorting out Quan Yifang, Lu Zixun had effectively planted a nail in Zone 5.

Although it was currently a nail that couldn’t garner much trust, it could still pick up some small pieces of information.

He raised his paw and rubbed his head.

Lu Zixun got up and walked towards his office, knowing that the measures he had taken so far were far from sufficient to resolve the upcoming crisis.

Following Lu Zixun’s orders, the machinery of the Demon Country began operating rapidly, non-stop day and night.

Fortunately, the efforts were bearing significant fruit, having improved by twenty-five percent based on previous outputs.

Yet Lu Zixun, still unsatisfied with this speed, went through his files and sighed lightly.

This indeed was the maximum efficiency the Demon Clan could achieve for now.

"Ling, how many S-tier Spiritual Ability Users are currently in the Human Gathering Place?"

"Lord Xun, according to the information published on the Star Network, there are at least a thousand S-tier Spiritual Ability Users present, and their numbers are still increasing by several dozen each month," Ling responded.

Swallowing his spit, a surprised look appeared in Lu Zixun’s eyes.

He hadn’t expected there to be so many S-tier Spiritual Ability Users; this was going to be troublesome.

It appeared that relying on the strength of the Demon Clan to change the minds of the humans was somewhat unreliable.

After all, there’s a saying about eliminating future troubles, and this time, it was clearly targeted at eradicating the Demon Clan.

If only there were trustworthy people in Sha Fei.

This thought crossed his mind, and Lu Zixun sighed deeply.

If only that were the case, the situation would be much clearer.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t contact Ninth Brother, and neither Kang Ning nor the old man had entered the Crimson Land.

Was he supposed to turn to the Insect Clan?

Shaking his head, Lu Zixun was not inclined to do so.

Just as Lu Zixun was frowning deeply, a long-inactive icon on VV started to flicker.
