Chapter 937: Zhan Kui

The war on King Island officially begins!

The war between the Demon Clan and the Golden Family has already been very lively.

With the Underground City as the center, the western Forest Island, the south and north of the Underground City have all become battlefields, with a unprecedented number of participants.

Because the east of the Underground City is King Island, which belongs to the battleground of the Seven Armies and the Eternal Kingdom, the Demon Clan and the Golden Family did not expand their battlefield to this side!

"Young master, what are they doing?"

After Ye Xiu and Dizang finished setting up the formation, they specifically went to Forest Island to watch the fun, but upon this observation, Dizang’s mind was a bit muddled!

"The Demon Clan and the Golden Family are conducting joint exercises here, how interesting!"

Ye Xiu instantly saw through the trickery of the Demon Clan and the Golden Family.

"Young master means to say that the Demon Clan and the Golden Family are in cahoots?" asked Dizang.

"Clearly!"

Ye Xiu sneered and said:

"The Demon Clan was released from Demon Island by Stephanie. If this secret is known to the other two families among the three Judicator Families, the Golden Family’s situation in the Underground City will become extremely awkward, and may even face annihilation by the other two families. Therefore, the Golden Family simply betrayed the Underground City and secretly collaborated with the Demon Clan."

Dizang was a bit bewildered: "If the Golden Family and the Demon Clan are already together, why bother putting on this act for the Underground City?"

Ye Xiu said:

"If I’m not mistaken, the Demon Clan definitely has the Golden Family responsible for finding the base of the Shocking God and Demon Formation. The reason for the ’joint martial arts performance’ between the two is just to deceive the Underground City."

Now Dizang understood, saying: "This move by the Demon Clan is quite smart. Having the Golden Family responsible for finding the base is indeed more efficient than Demon Clan’s formation cultivators infiltrating the Underground City without any direction."

Ye Xiu mused: "Seems real, yet false; false, yet real. Don’t entirely trust your eyes."

Dizang’s eyes narrowed: "You mean, the Golden Family knows only you can break the Shocking God and Demon Formation, so they pretend to ally with the Demon Clan and randomly disclose the location of the formation base to lure you into the Underground City?"

"Once the Golden Family tells the Demon Clan the location of the formation base, I will know soon enough after trying," said Ye Xiu.

At this moment, Qin Qing called:

"Three strangers have gone to the Royal City, unknown identities."

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and said: "Based on time estimates, the transition of power among the Three Judicator Families has been completed, the three people going to the Royal City should be from the Zhan Family."

Qin Qing asked: "Is there anything you need us to do?"

"Leave them alone for now!" Ye Xiu said: "Have the Blood Cloth Guards catch someone at the King Island battlefield with a similar stature and height to me, as soon as possible, then prepare a set of miniature eavesdropping devices and cameras for me."

Qin Qing responded: "Okay!"

Dizang overheard the conversation between Ye Xiu and Qin Qing, and after Ye Xiu hung up the phone, he asked:

"Young master intends to disguise the person caught by the Blood Cloth Guards to look like you, so that once the Golden Family tells the Demon Clan the location of the formation base, the imposter will go to the Underground City in your stead?"

"Yes!" Ye Xiu nodded: "Let’s go back to Red Water City!"

...

Royal City, Transcendent Laboratory!

Lin Lei and Xuan Zheng were discussing how to win the war in the shortest time possible.

Suddenly!

"Bang!"

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a young man walked in with two middle-aged men.

Startling Lin Lei and Xuan Zheng!

The Transcendent Laboratory’s formation was unbreakable, and within its 300 layers, many people resided in each layer, yet somehow someone had managed to silently reach the 300th underground level without alerting anyone.

"Who are you?"

Lin Lei asked cautiously.

The young man walked in and directly seated himself on the sofa.

Expressionlessly, he said:

"60 years have passed, and the Golden Family has handed over ruling power to the Zhan Family. The Arbiter is Zhan Family’s once-in-a-millennium genius ’Zhan Jue’, and I am Zhan Jue’s elder brother, my name is Zhan Kui." (kui)

Lin Lei and Xuan Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Lei had no doubts about Zhan Jue’s identity because only he and members of the Three Judicator Families knew how to access the Transcendent Laboratory’s formation.

"So it is the Royal Highness, what brings you to me?"

Lin Lei asked humbly.

"What’s going on in the Royal City? Why didn’t I see anyone when I entered the city?" Zhan Kui asked.

Lin Lei did not dare to hide anything and immediately recounted the entire situation from beginning to end.

"Ha, Ye Xiu has some skills!" Zhan Kui said disdainfully.

Haha, Ye Xiu doesn’t just have some skills; he’s quite skilled. I advise you not to act arrogantly, otherwise Ye Xiu might crush you.

At that moment, Lin Lei suddenly had a clever idea, why not incite Zhan Kui to kill Ye Xiu, then have Zhan Kui killed by Ye Xiu, thereby prompting the Zhan Family to help him attack Red Water City!

Brilliant plan!

"Your Highness, I advise you not to underestimate Ye Xiu. He is extremely cunning and powerful, not to belittle you, I fear that against Ye Xiu, you might only find yourself at a disadvantage!" Lin Lei said seriously.

A very simple provocation!

"Impudent!"

The middle-aged man on the left side behind Zhan Kui reprimanded coldly:

"Lin Lei, are you looking down on the Zhan Family with such talk below your station?"

The middle-aged man on the right said: "Do you think the Royal Highness is as foolish and incompetent as you? Ye Xiu may seem like a formidable figure in your eyes, but in front of the Royal Highness, he’s merely an ant that can be crushed at any time."

Lin Lei was inwardly furious, but he accepted the reprimand from Zhan Kui since Zhan Kui’s status was indeed higher than his, yet the two servants of Zhan Kui dared to speak to him this way, simply courting death!

Still, Lin Lei endured, knowing that even when beating the dog, one must consider its owner!

Thus, he nodded and bowed, saying: "Yes, yes, Ye Xiu is a lowlife who only bullies ordinary people like us. Against the Royal Highness, he would be utterly helpless."

Only then did the two middle-aged men nod in satisfaction!

Zhan Kui was also very satisfied with Lin Lei’s attitude, enjoying the feeling of suppressing a king. It’s a sensation he had never experienced during his 33 years in the Underground City.

Incredibly gratifying!

He then assumed an aloof posture and said:

"Lin Lei, I have been dispatched by the Ruler ’Zhan Jue’ to assist you in eliminating the enemy forces. As for Ye Xiu, I will go to Red Water City shortly to capture him alive, allowing you to deal with him as you please."

Lin Lei’s eyes lit up. This guy finally fell for his provocation, so he immediately flattered:

"May the Royal Highness achieve swift success! I will set up a banquet in the Royal City to welcome your triumphant return."

"Hmm!"

Zhan Kui nodded, saying:

"If that’s the case, mobilize all the trump cards of the Transcendent Laboratory to follow me in attacking Red Water City."

Lin Lei was bewildered; if you want to attack Red Water City, go ahead, or call in experts from the Underground City. Why use my trump cards?

He quickly said: "Your Highness, I currently only have the one card from the Transcendent Laboratory left, deploying it all at once is..."

"Impudent!"

Zhan Kui glared and scolded:

"Lin Lei, you should understand this is not a negotiation but an order. If you disagree, I don’t mind replacing the King of the Eternal Kingdom."
