CHAPTER 708: CHAPTER 707: THE MIGHT OF DEMON COUNTRY

"These people must be so full of food that they have nothing else to do."

After making arrangements for the children, Ge Changming had a face full of frustration.

As expected, the Night Language Forum is filled with brainless individuals. If they were really human traffickers, would they dare to operate so openly?

"Someone is stirring up trouble again, it seems we’re still too complacent."

Shaking his head, Lu Zixun’s gaze remained calm, "Have the battle losses been reported?"

"Not many died, but Yang Guohong did."

Ge Changming, who had been keeping an eye on the matter, replied without hesitation.

"Uh..."

Hearing about the death of Yang Guohong, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness in his heart.

However, it seemed the Yangu Union had reaped what they had sown.

"What’s the Elf Kingdom’s stance on this?"

"In the face of war, no one is invincible. It seems the Elf Kingdom doesn’t care much about its defeat this time. Instead, they’ve reached a deeper level of alliance with the Crimson Alliance."

Pausing for a moment, Ge Changming chuckled lightly, "It seems their target this time was indeed Lu Xinran. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so undisturbed by the outcome."

All of this was within Lu Zixun’s expectations, so none of it surprised him.

Power in the Fusion World is becoming more diversified, with most forces choosing to band together for mutual benefit, which is quite normal.

It’s just that the Demon Country needs to be more cautious lately.

After all, if the massive storm of rhetoric that’s coming isn’t man-made, Lu Zixun would think even more highly of the Night Language Forum.

"Now, there’s a problem facing the development of the Demon Country."

Looking somewhat embarrassed, Ge Changming spoke softly, "It’s that we haven’t started the process for Demon Clan members to marry Spiritual Ability Users, and many of them have already applied."

"Then let’s start it!"

Hearing the problem Ge Changming mentioned, Lu Zixun’s ears twitched slightly, and he said excitedly.

"Uh..."

Seeing Lu Zixun’s excited demeanor, Ge Changming was taken aback, "Brother Xun, it’s not about whether we can start, it’s that doing so would inevitably allow some ill-intentioned Spiritual Ability Users to enter the Demon Country under this guise."

"This problem is easy to solve, just build some non-essential buildings in Zone 20. The Crimson Alliance agreed to that, right?"

Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, "If you want to enter the Demon Country, you just need to pass the assessment."

After carefully considering the solution proposed by Lu Zixun, Ge Changming silently nodded.

"And there’s another issue, how should we handle these children?"

Ge Changming genuinely liked these children taken from the High-level Farm, although he had only been with them for a short time. They were intelligent and carried goodwill towards the Demon Clan.

Lu Zixun was also pondering solutions to this problem.

The Demon Country wasn’t lacking in places for these children to live, but people’s words can be fearsome, and these children will grow up eventually.

When the time comes, how would they, raised by the Demon Clan, face Spiritual Ability Users with malicious intent?

For a moment, Lu Zixun, who had no immediate solutions, felt quite a headache coming on.

Both men fell into silence, and Qiao Sinian knocked and entered the room.

Looking at Lu Zixun, he said with a smile, "Lord Xun, the children are very fond of the environment in the Demon Country. We can start educational work tomorrow."

However, after saying that, seeing that no one was responding to him, Qiao Sinian paused then cautiously asked, "What’s going on?"

After Ge Changming briefly explained, the informed Qiao Sinian scratched his head, "I’ve looked into it, and the Demon Country should be considered the strongest force in the Fusion World now, so why worry about everything you do?"

During their time of settlement, this had been the attitude of the Demon Clan; the one with the bigger fist had the confidence to speak.

Lu Zixun’s eyes gradually brightened upon hearing Qiao Sinian’s words.

Unbeknownst to them, the Demon Country had become so strong, and he and Ge Changming, accustomed to a weaker Demon Country, hadn’t realized it.

"The children will be living in the Demon Country, but we need to respond to these rumors, track down the sources, and teach them a lesson."

Lu Zixun had a smile on his face, "The Star Network is not lawless. If we don’t make these people pay a price, they’ll really think they can do whatever they want."

"Yes, Brother Xun."

Ge Changming, squinting his eyes, nodded slightly.

Not only were they not used to the power of the Demon Country now, but others did not know either. It was time to send a message and teach them a lesson.

"It’s about time we did this."

Qiao Sinian shrugged, "Although the strong should act with grace, that’s no excuse for others to push their luck."

Turning to look at Qiao Sinian, Lu Zixun asked, "When will the Twelve Angel Order be ready to pass on to the children? Without endangering their lives."

"Hm..."

After giving it some thought, Qiao Sinian answered seriously, "It’ll probably take three months. I already have candidates in my mind for the inheritance, but they’re not ready yet."

Three months...

It seemed long and yet not that long.

From a long-term perspective, it was a big win for the Demon Country, but it would certainly not coincide with the opening of the Forgotten Land.

"Alright, let’s go with the most conservative plan. Educational work can start tomorrow."

Nodding slightly, Lu Zixun made up his mind, "Whatever you need, talk to Changming directly. And not just them, but also the children of the Demon Country—are now in your hands, Teacher Qiao."

"..."

Feeling the weight of responsibility, Qiao Sinian, who had signed a contract with Lu Zixun, could only nod silently.

To be honest, he didn’t want to take on the role of teacher!

After the two left the office, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but laugh.

A demon becoming a teacher felt like something out of an anime.

However, Lu Zixun wasn’t certain about Qiao Sinian’s teaching ability and decided Ge Changming should keep an eye on him for a couple of days.

With the arrival of many children, the Demon Country’s lack of manpower would not be solved in the short term.

Lu Zixun couldn’t trust others to do the job, so it seemed he needed to be more attentive to staffing issues.

Stretching languidly, Lu Zixun hopped off his chair and headed for the Cultivation Room. He hadn’t absorbed today’s Spiritual Ability Traits yet.

...

Kneeling in the ancestral hall, Lu Xinran’s head hung low for a long time, her impatience having cost the life of the person who had treated her best.

"How long are you planning to kneel?"

Dressed in a black suit, Yang Ming came over, lit a stick of incense for Yang Guohong, and asked indifferently.

"Grandfather is dead, and you’re still this cold and emotionless?"

Lu Xinran, with red-rimmed eyes, looked up at Yang Ming fiercely.

"If I were really cold and emotionless, I wouldn’t have come back."

Holding Lu Xinran’s face in his hands and wiping away her tears, Yang Ming said calmly, "Now is not the time to cry."
