Chapter 388: Chapter 387: The Scheming Old Master

"The Swallowing Sky Cat Demon of this generation turns out to be an Orange Cat, how odd,"

the old master sat in the courtyard, his hair gray with age, his eyes carrying the color of vicissitudes.

Despite his casual demeanor, the aura he exuded caused Lu Zixun’s scalp to tingle.

"Ding—detected love value from Yang Guohong +7000."

Upon hearing Yang Guohong’s first sentence, Lu Zixun’s face was full of black lines, and somewhat speechlessly he said, "Elder Yang, it’s not nice to start off by dissing someone like that."

"Diss, what does that mean?"

Yang Guohong looked at Lu Zixun with some confusion, clearly not understanding what he meant.

"..."

Lifting his paw and tapping his head, Lu Zixun grinned and repeatedly said, "It means to praise, just praising."

"Look at you, young man, you don’t mean it that way."

Shaking his head, a nostalgic look appeared in Yang Guohong’s eyes, "Though the fur color is different, the personality is just the same, all grins and laughs, not serious at all."

To this, Lu Zixun could only smile naively, not knowing what to say.

"I heard from Taiming that you wanted to see me, what is it for?"

Turning his gaze to Lu Zixun, Yang Guohong smiled, "You couldn’t have just wanted to see me, right?"

Lu Zixun did indeed just want to meet Yang Guohong and had no other intentions.

But since Yang Guohong had said so, Lu Zixun naturally had to think it over.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zixun realized there was really nothing he needed Yang Guohong’s help with, so he simply shook his head.

"Really nothing?"

Yang Guohong smiled, "Right now, the Demon Clan has already gathered a considerable force in Zone 14, if they break the treaty, can Zone 13 hold out?"

"Of course... it can’t."

Shaking his head frankly, Lu Zixun said, "But Sha Fei shouldn’t just watch the Demon Clan be annihilated, right? After all, with the Demon Clan in Zone 13, the Human Gathering Place is under much less pressure."

Tapping the table lightly, Yang Guohong changed the subject, "What if the Insect Clan voluntarily gives up Zones 13 and 14 after the Demon Clan is annihilated?"

Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s pupils contracted.

If that happened, Zone 13 would be in danger.

Feeling a chill in his heart, Lu Zixun arched his back slightly and fell into a state of rapid thought.

Seeing Lu Zixun’s demeanor, Yang Guohong laughed, "Don’t worry, even if the humans are willing, the Insect Clan is not."

Looking up at the mischievous smile in Yang Guohong’s eyes, Lu Zixun understood that the old guy was very crafty, scaring him on purpose.

Feeling somewhat reluctant to engage with Yang Guohong, Lu Zixun withdrew into a sullen state.

"Alright, alright, you look terribly ugly like that."

Stretching out his hand and patting Lu Zixun’s back, Yang Guohong stroked his beard, "Each generation of the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon has been humanity’s Guardian God, helping humans through the most dangerous times, but as the situation gradually stabilizes, they become the target of human suppression, you... are quite unique."

Thinking that Yang Guohong was about to say he was odd, Yang Guohong continued, "But this is also good, living for yourself, not for so-called responsibilities."

Looking at the maple tree in the courtyard, Yang Guohong’s eyes filled with reminiscence.

"I once told Ye Ye the same thing, but he did not listen, and I didn’t manage to save him, what a pity."

From Yang Guohong’s calm words, Lu Zixun perceived a deep hatred.

Although fleeting, Lu Zixun caught it.

It seems the death of Ye Ye was not as simple as the Gongsun Family had said.

While Lu Zixun pondered the meaning of Yang Guohong’s words, he heard Yang Guohong say, "Go ahead and do it, while I’m still alive, lead the Demon Country to stand up, to have a place in the Crimson Land."

At this moment, hearing these words, Lu Zixun finally felt something was amiss.

The life force on Yang Guohong was very faint, if you didn’t look closely, you might think there was a dead man sitting there.

Even an SS-class existence cannot escape the finality of life and death.

"Elder, are you perhaps..."

The words "nearing the end of life" Lu Zixun couldn’t bring himself to say out loud, swallowing them back before they left his lips.

Seeing Lu Zixun actively jump into his arms, Yang Guohong stroked his back and muttered, "It’s as you guessed, I can still fight for you... three more months. After three months, the Human Gathering Place will face great chaos, by then..."

He paused for a moment, fell silent for a while, then Yang Guohong smiled with acceptance,

"The Swallowing Sky Cat Demon should be free between heaven and earth, not bound by so-called fate, let it be."

With a face of dissatisfaction, Lu Zixun raised his paw and patted Yang Guohong’s thigh.

"Elder, just speak your mind, don’t keep me in suspense, it’s quite annoying."

"Ha."

As if Lu Zixun had stirred a memory, Yang Guohong laughed heartily, patting Lu Zixun’s head, "That’s the temperament of the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon, good, good."

"When the time comes, Zhenfei’s high-end strength will overwhelm Sha Fei, I hope you can break through to S-class quickly to help Sha Fei."

Pausing, Yang Guohong continued, "Every six months, the two major factions of the Human Gathering Place hold a contest for the right to decide the direction of development. Sha Fei has always won in the past, but things are different this time, the times have changed..."

As Yang Guohong spoke, Lu Zixun gained a deeper understanding of the current situation in the Human Gathering Place.

It’s not that Zhenfei is too conservative, but their ambition is too great,

hoping to use the folded device acquired from the Forgotten Land, commonly known as TP in games,

to teleport directly to the Insect Clan’s main base in Zone 25, to destroy the Insect Clan in one fell swoop.

This approach is indeed possible,

but it will result in a situation without future worries, which is a full-scale counterattack from the remaining Insect Clan, and this would bring disaster to the inhabitants of the Crimson Land.

On the other hand, what Sha Fei is doing is more of a long-term strategy.

Why does the Insect Clan want to infiltrate human society?

Because human society has a lot of resources.

The Insect Clan’s territories within the Crimson Land could hold out for ten years.

But with the ongoing tug-of-war with Sha Fei, they will eventually collapse due to insufficient resources.

The intention of contesting for the right to decide the direction of development is to prevent Zhenfei from obtaining the folded development map.

There is no need to push the Insect Clan into desperate actions by exhausting them to collapse.

"Elder, something isn’t right,"

Rubbing his chin, Lu Zixun felt that something was wrong with Sha Fei’s direction,

there are farms within the Insect Clan, large ones at that, situated right before Zone 25 in Zone 23.

Could the Insect Clan really be running out of resources?
