Chapter 480: Chapter 479: Commander-in-Chief Appears, Situation is Grave

Hearing Wang Linfan’s words, Lu Zixun’s first reaction was, “When did she become top of the academy?”

“Dean Wang, hello.”

Although hearing Wang Linfan’s voice surprised Lin Siyin,

she still maintained the proper courtesy and bowed slightly to greet Wang Linfan.

“No need to be so formal, call me brother-in-law at home.”

With a gentle smile on his face, Wang Linfan’s gaze fell upon Lu Zixun, “You’re not too bad, lad.”

“Come here.”

At this moment, Qing Ling’er, who was sitting in the living room, quickly called out.

Seeing Lin Siyin for the first time, Qing Ling’er’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She had heard a thing or two about Lin Siyin.

After all, there was nothing but admiration in Wang Linfan’s eyes when he mentioned her.

At the time, Qing Ling’er thought Wang Linfan had taken a fancy to her and teased him a couple of times,

but it turned out that Lin Siyin was unexpectedly Lu Zixun’s girlfriend.

Curious as to how Lin Siyin became Lu Zixun’s girlfriend, Qing Ling’er glanced around.

Holding Lin Siyin’s hand, she went to the bedroom to whisper, leaving Lu Zixun and Xiong Kang in the living room, staring at each other perplexedly.

“Is this the so-called commonality?”

Looking at Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang suddenly said this.

Lying on the sofa, Lu Zixun’s tail swished twice as he sighed softly, “I don’t know either; it’s a bit confusing.”

“The commander of the battle for supremacy has already been decided.”

After a pause, Xiong Kang continued, “This battle for supremacy is tricky, not only do we have to fend off external enemies, but we also have to watch out for stabs in the back from our own people.”

Hearing this, Lu Zixun suddenly became interested, “Who is this commander?”

“…”

A bit speechless, Xiong Kang looked at Lu Zixun as the corner of his mouth twitched, “You haven’t been paying attention to this?”

Hearing that, Lu Zixun shook his head, adopting a lazy demeanor, “Why should I care about these matters? Demon Country isn’t involved anyway. With this free time, I’d rather think about how to develop Demon Country.”

Feeling like Lu Zixun had a point, Xiong Kang silently uttered a name, “Tang Tianyu.”

Lu Zixun: “???”

He hadn’t expected Tang Tianyu to be so effective.

With so many forces entering the Trial Land, Tang Tianyu had managed to become the commander of the battle for supremacy.

“We probably can’t stay out of it now.”

With a light laugh, Xiong Kang gave a sly smile, “Now that Tang Tianyu is the commander, Lord Xun, surely you’ll offer him some help?”

Hearing this, Lu Zixun thought for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he said, “Now that the commander is decided, what about the areas designated for the struggle? I don’t believe Zone 9 isn’t included.”

“You’re quite sharp about that.”

Xiong Kang laughed dryly, “This time, the human areas divided are Zones 9, 10, and 11, each representing a power from the Human Gathering Place.”

Zone 9 of Sha Fei, Zone 10 of Zhenfei, and Zone 11 of the Three Prefectures.

But, the Three Prefectures actually gave up Zone 11?

If Sha Fei deliberately lost this battle for supremacy, then the Three Prefectures would be left with no base at all.

However, thinking it over, Lu Zixun felt this possibility was not very likely.

“Let’s not discuss the unspoken rules of the battle for territory, just mentioning Tang Tianyu’s command error and how it doomed the battle…”

The shock it brought to Sha Fei seemed more terrifying than losing a whole region.

“Who is the commander of the Insect Clan?”

After analyzing the situation, Lu Zixun looked up at Xiong Kang with a profound gaze.

If it were Tan Ye and the others, then there would be some room to maneuver in this battle of conquest.

However, the name Xiong Kang mentioned was one Lu Zixun had never heard before—Wang Yan.

“Why isn’t it Tan Ye?”

The moment he voiced this question, Lu Zixun realized he had asked something foolish.

The battle of conquest only allowed S-level individuals to participate, and if it wasn’t Tan Ye, it definitely couldn’t be Yue Sichen; they were already J-level, so how could they take command?

He raised a paw and scratched his ear as Lu Zixun thought and asked, “This Wang Yan, do you have any information about him, like his true form?”

“We are still investigating that, as there has never been a Wang from the Insect Clan commanding in previous conquest battles.”

Pausing for a moment, Xiong Kang continued, “But now it doesn’t really matter who it is, what’s important is to warn Tang Tianyu to be cautious of Zhenfei and the Three Prefectures people.”

“Outer abilities aren’t strong, but when it comes to internal strife, they are quite ruthless.”

Sneering cynically, Lu Zixun’s eyebrows knitted as he said, “Even if they want Sha Fei to fail, for a pivotal event like the battle of conquest, they would still collaborate, at least to some extent, right?”

“Collaborate, how could they not collaborate.”

With a meaningful smile, Xiong Kang ominously said, “I’m not afraid of their collaboration, I’m afraid that they will over-collaborate.”

Thinking back to how Gu Beihan had secretly set up Long Jiuri, Lu Zixun fell silent for a moment, just as Xiong Kang had suggested.

It felt like the battle of conquest was just a giant meat grinder.

Those who entered had to be extremely careful or they would be minced.

At this moment, Lu Zixun suddenly began to worry about Tang Tianyu.

His personality was too straightforward, it might still be okay in previous battles of conquest.

But this time, the battle of conquest was no small matter. Could he really handle it?

“This time, the position of the Demon Country in the battle of conquest is very awkward, and distressing.”

Just as Lu Zixun’s worries deepened, Xiong Kang suddenly spoke up.

Indeed, as Xiong Kang had stated,

the regions under contention, except for Zone 9, were all adjacent to the Demon Country’s territories.

If war breaks out, it would inevitably affect the Demon Country’s areas. How would the Demon Country then handle these issues?

The sudden problem was enough to sadden Lu Zixun.

Lu Zixun dared to say that if this was merely a coincidence, then with such coincidences, one might as well buy a Crimson Ticket—guaranteed to win ten million Crimson Coins.

Lu Zixun pondered for a moment: “Actually, it’s not that troublesome. They wouldn’t dare push the Demon Country too far, at most they would just probe, because… even red-eyed rabbits bite, let alone a cat with a fiery temper like mine.”

“That makes sense, indeed it’s like that.”

Realizing there was some truth to what Lu Zixun said, Xiong Kang smiled, choosing not to dwell on the matter further.

Instead, he brought up the Light and Shadow Association.

It had been a long while since any news from the Light and Shadow Association had been heard, yet unexpectedly, Xiong Kang knew something.

“The Light and Shadow Association has started to contact Sha Fei’s people, and you know them.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun looked up at Xiong Kang, his eyebrows raising in a probing manner, “Brother-in-law?”

That the Demon Country couldn’t investigate, Lu Zixun didn’t believe Sha Fei could have.

The only possibility was that Sha Fei’s people had met with the Light and Shadow Association.
