At this moment, Lu Zixun was already very different from the one in Chunhua City.
Now, watching Ye Changming come in, Lu Zixun was not the least bit panicked; he even felt like laughing.
He casually found a place to sit down, and Ye Changming’s gaze fell on Lu Zixun, his eyes showing surprise.
"Ding—Surprise Value from Ye Changming detected: +15000."
Sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, Lu Zixun looked at Ye Changming, "Didn’t expect you to come looking for me yourself. Seems like you don’t want to hide anymore, do you?"
Shaking his head, Ye Changming smiled faintly, "I came here only for the awakening of the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon to deliver a congratulatory gift. At the same time, to convey a piece of news to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Changming took out an item and tossed it to Lu Zixun.
Fearing that Ye Changming might pull a fast one, Lu Zixun did not stretch out his paws to catch this unknown item, letting it fall to the ground.
Ye Changming wasn’t annoyed by this, his smile playful, "I said I was once the best friend of the previous Swallowing Sky Cat Demon. This item was meant for his descendant at his request—do you believe that?"
Actually, even without Ye Changming saying it, Lu Zixun could feel the aura of Ye Ye on it.
The item indeed belonged to the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon; whether this friend was real or fake was unknown.
Using Magnetic Field Control to pick up the item, Lu Zixun opened it and found inside was a shed cat claw.
The aura contained within was extremely powerful.
After tossing it into the talisman, Lu Zixun looked up at Ye Changming and silently waited for him to speak first.
Spreading his hands, Ye Changming explained, "The initial attack on you... first, I hadn’t realized you were the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon, secondly, the Crimson Land has no need for cat clan spirit beasts."
Hearing this, Lu Zixun turned his head toward Xiong Kang, casting a puzzled look.
Xiong Kang shook his head to indicate he was also unaware, as he had never entered the Crimson Land either.
After pondering for a moment, Xiong Kang continued, "Your words are not trustworthy, you should know this especially since a human who would help the Insect Clan already lacks the trust of us."
"I wasn’t expecting your trust."
Ye Changming made a tight-lipped smile and indifferently said, "I just came to explain, as I certainly wouldn’t want my friend’s descendant to harbor hatred against me. And regarding what you mentioned, I have no knowledge of the matters in Zone Q."
Exchanging a look with Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun saw deep skepticism in his eyes.
Such a big matter being unknown to the Ye Family was something only children could be deceived by.
Knowing they wouldn’t believe him, Ye Changming didn’t elaborate further.
Changing the topic, he said, "Recently, the battles in the Crimson Land have become frequent, and Long Jiuri will soon be called back to guard the Crimson Land. How do you plan to deal with Tan Ye then?"
"You don’t need to worry about that; we have our own strategy," Xiong Kang calmly replied as he held out a hand, "Since you’ve delivered the item, please leave."
Rising to his feet and patting the dust off himself, Ye Changming shook his head, "No rush, I still have one more thing to do before I go."
A powerful surge of energy lingered around Ye Changming, and soon, a tornado encircled him.
From the eye of the storm, Ye Changming’s calm voice emerged, "If you want my friend’s item, let’s see if you have the strength to claim it."
Seeing that Ye Changming intended to make a move, Xiong Kang’s nine Flying Swords instantly unsheathed and headed toward Ye Changming just as he was about to make a move, an invisible wind chain caught his ankle and dragged him away from the center of the battle.
"Show me all your strength, don’t disappoint me."
Although his vision was blocked by the storm, Lu Zixun was unable to see Ye Changming.
Yet he could still sense the cold, ruthless demeanor emanating from Ye Changming.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Zixun calmly unveiled his superpower.
An Ice Element Shield appeared in front of Lu Zixun, protecting him from the piercing storm on his face.
Seeing the storm gather speed before him, Lu Zixun frowned and raised his paw, "Frost Breath."
The cold wind, pushed by Lu Zixun, entered the storm.
A blue light, swirling with the tornado, slowed down the gathering storm to a visible speed.
Even though Ye Changming had the storm attached to him, how could he, stretching out from the center of the storm, withstand the bone-chilling cold.
Unable to cope with the severe cold, Ye Changming decisively dispersed the storm.
But Lu Zixun had already gathered the Frost Fire Spear, a cold smile on his lips.
He fiercely threw the Frost Fire Spear at Ye Changming. The Killing Intent Value coming from the front did not make Ye Changming panic.
Ye Changming effortlessly raised his hands, and a green energy appeared in front of him.
The Frost Fire Spear flying in the air, as if drained of strength, suddenly dropped to the ground.
The expression on Lu Zixun’s face changed as he tried to control the Frost Fire Spear to rise.
But for some unknown reason, an invisible force kept it from moving.
Seeing this, Lu Zixun instantly changed his strategy, dashing to the Frost Fire Spear and sweeping it with his tail towards Ye Changming.
As soon as he spoke, the Frost Fire Spear exploded, the rising dust obscuring Lu Zixun’s view.
Knowing this strike would not rob Ye Changming of his combat ability, Lu Zixun quickly retreated to a safe distance.
Meanwhile, circles of Spiritual Fire surrounded his body.
A fiery cat mimicked at the top of Lu Zixun’s head.
With a cold gaze, Lu Zixun watched the area where the dust rose, waiting for Ye Changming to appear.
A gentle breeze swept by, blowing away all the dust; Ye Changming, smiling, looked at the fire cat appearing atop Lu Zixun’s head.
With a roar, Lu Zixun ran towards Ye Changming while delivering a palm strike.
As Lu Zixun moved, the fire cat also struck out a palm, carrying the scorching Spiritual Fire towards Ye Changming.
Seeing the palm about to hit him, Ye Changming snorted coldly.
A Spiral Stab appeared in his hand, colliding with the cat’s paw.
A loud noise awakened the people sleeping in the villa, who got up to go outside to check the situation.
Ye Changming’s gaze fell on Lu Zixun, his expression not very good.
Although he had shattered the transformative Spiritual Fire, Ye Changming had also greatly exhausted himself.
Seeing the Wind Barrier about to disperse, with Xiong Kang outside eyeing him predatorily.
Ye Changming took a step back and smiled sarcastically, "Let’s stop here for today. You deserve his stuff."
Ye Changming turned and left. Lu Zixun, whose Spiritual Energy was exhausted, did not intend to pursue and sat squatting in place, watching Ye Changming’s retreating figure.
As Ye Changming reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
