They Were All Old Foxes-Dong Zi'an's Chance to Rise!

"Jiang Xiu!"

Just as Jiang Xiu was observing the Federation Mecha squadron in the distance, a girl's exclamation rang out, filled with both surprise and a sense of relief.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiu saw a dark red figure rushing towards him, crashing straight into his arms, followed by a cool, delicate fragrance.

"Yuanen, I'm back safely now."

Jiang Xiu gently patted Yuanen Yehui's shoulder and said with a soft laugh.

He knew very well that his and the Underworld Emperor's solo trespassing into the Demon Plane was extremely dangerous in the eyes of anyone, after all, behind the Demon Gate lay another world, a world full of demons.

However, he did not expect Yuanen Yehui to react so strongly.

"Yehui, look at this kid, so energetic and lively, he doesn't seem to have any problems at all."

The burly Yuanen Tiandang followed behind, watching his daughter being held in Jiang Xiu's arms, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, his heart filled with the sorrow of an old father.

Seemingly noticing the gazes around them, Yuanen Yehui broke free from Jiang Xiu's embrace like a startled fawn, a hint of shyness on her cool, pretty face.

But deep down, I felt a sense of relief at having regained what I had lost...

As the warmth of her embrace faded, Jiang Xiu let out a long sigh of relief. The girl's delicate body was as gentle as warm jade, but at the same time, the proud arrogance emanating from her made him feel somewhat breathless...

Indeed, as a certain elder wisely said, a young girl whose head is bowed so low that her toes are barely visible is already an unparalleled beauty...

Yuanen Tiandang looked at Jiang Xiu, who was smiling, and then at his daughter, who was blushing. He immediately hardened his arousal and his fists hardened.

But when he thought of the terrifying strength Jiang Xiu had displayed when he killed the demon, Yuanen Tiandang silently loosened his fist...

He wanted to act like a father-in-law, but unfortunately, this "prospective son-in-law" knew a little about martial arts.

If the lesson doesn't work, it would be embarrassing if they were defeated instead.

"Hmm!" Upon seeing this scene, Ya Li's pert, fair nose twitched slightly, her emerald eyes glanced to the side, and the smile on her previously upturned red lips vanished.

At the same time, I felt inexplicably uneasy, a little sour...

"Senior Zhentian, who are these Mecha squadron members?"

Just then, Yuanen Zhentian walked over, and Jiang Xiu pointed to the Federation Mecha squadron in the distance and asked.

These Federation Mecha squadrons were positioned around the Yuanen Family's encampment, clearly indicating that they were on guard against the Yuanen Family. Furthermore, Yuanen Tianshang in the distance was obviously negotiating with a Soul Master in a Black-Grade Mecha.

Jiang Xiu had already discerned the legion to which this Mecha Mecha belonged by observing the Federation markings on the Soul Guidance Mecha within it.

One day, one month, one sword – this is clearly the emblem of the Federation Central Legion!

"This..." Seeing Jiang Xiu return safely, Yuanen Zhentian's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed slightly. After hearing this, he slowly said:

"This Federation Mecha squadron was attracted here by the powerful energy fluctuations, and they only recently arrived. Tian Shang is currently trying to fool them... and explain things to them."

As he spoke, Yuanen Zhentian pointed around and said meaningfully, "After all, the Xuanwu Gate is gone..."

After a great battle, the surrounding mountains were all half-shrunken, the scorched earth was stained with blood, and in the distance, one could even see the remnants of demons. The Xuanwu Gate, which had stood for tens of thousands of years, was completely leveled.

Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood what had happened.

Among the major legions of the Federation, although the Sea God Legion has the strongest overall strength, the Central Legion has the greatest power, and its territory spans the entire heartland of the Sun Moon Federation.

They have the responsibility to assist local authorities in eradicating heretical Evil Soul Master and maintaining peace.

The Central Legion and the Blood God Legion are similar in that one is specifically responsible for the Abyssal Passage, while the other is specifically responsible for the heartland of the Federation.

Jiang Xiu still remembered that when he encountered the Evil Soul Master on the Soul Guidance Train, it was Yu Guanzhi who led the Central Legion to deal with it.

They were enemies back then, but now they're just enemies in name only...

"I told you, we were just conducting a drill here, and we made a bit too much noise."

"What?! Your drills can level the surrounding hills? That residual aura must be from Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, right? Even the Tang Sect wouldn't dare to be this extravagant in their drills!"

"So what do you want?"

"To cooperate with our investigation, I need to report to my superiors first."

"Impossible..."

Just then, Yuanen Tianshang and the captain of the Mecha squad started arguing in the distance.

The captain discovered that Yuanen Tianshang had been deceiving them, and after detecting the residual aura of Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, he further defined the Yuanen Family members as dangerous elements.

Upon seeing this, Yuanen Zhentian frowned slightly. He knew that the other party was from the Central Legion, and he was also aware that the Central Legion and the Western Legion, which was allied with the Body Sect, were at odds. Furthermore, Jiang Xiu had not returned earlier.

Therefore, they did not reveal their names.

But looking at it now, there's clearly something wrong.

Just as Yuanen Zhentian was about to walk over, Jiang Xiu said, "Senior Zhentian, let me handle this matter."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiu walked straight towards the Mecha captain, taking out his Communication Soul Tool and dialing a number.

"Young friend Jiang, you're back." Upon seeing Jiang Xiu, Yuanen Tianshang greeted him first.

"Who are you?" The Mecha captain asked cautiously, looking at Jiang Xiu who seemed strangely familiar.

Jiang Xiu looked at the Mecha squadron in front of him and said softly, "Your commander's phone number."

"I didn't." The Mecha captain paused for a moment.

I told you to answer.

Jiang Xiu raised the Communication Soul Tool in his hand and gestured with his eyes.

The Mecha captain was stunned again, a hint of disbelief in his eyes, but he still took it with some doubt.

Could this young man in front of them really have their legion commander's Communication Soul Tool? You have to understand that even he, a lieutenant colonel, doesn't have one; when he encounters a problem, he can only report it to his superiors.

But upon hearing the voice coming from the other side, the Mecha captain's face instantly showed respect, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Then, the Mecha captain handed the Communication Soul Tool to Jiang Xiu with both hands, saluted, and said:

"The commander has instructed that you have full authority to arrange things here."

"Alright, everything's fine here now. You can head back." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, gesturing with his eyes.

"Yes!" the Mecha captain replied, and then prepared to lead the surrounding Mecha squadron away.

But when the Mecha captain boarded the Soul Guidance Mecha, there was still a hint of shock in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Xiu.

This incredibly powerful young man actually managed to make Soul Guidance Phone to the commander of the Federation Central Legion!

This gave him the illusion that he had mistakenly entered the imperial palace.

Watching the departing Mecha squadron, Jiang Xiu's eyes deepened, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It's not surprising that Ming Capital, as a first-tier city of the Federation, is garrisoned by the Central Legion.

However, as the legion commander Yu Guanzhi must have learned about the situation immediately, since the explosion of a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell was already a major piece of news.

However, there was only one Federation Mecha squadron here, and no Mecha were sent. This was clearly intentional.

"They've already formed a secret alliance, Yu Guanzhi still tries to make me look heartless. He truly is a cunning old fox," Jiang Xiu thought to himself.

Yu Guanzhi clearly waiting for this call from him, intending to give him face by only assigning one Mecha squad.

After all, the news of the alliance between the Yuanen Family and the Body Sect had already spread far and wide.

"Hahaha, young friend Jiang, this time it really is a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King." Yu Guanzhi's hearty laughter came from the other end of the Communication Soul Tool again.

"No, it's just a misunderstanding," Jiang Xiu said with a smile, giving Yuanen Zhentian a "resolved" gesture before walking away alone.

"No, just how many other identities does this kid have?!" Yuanen Tiandang exclaimed in shock as he watched this scene.

"It seems the rumors of discord between the Western Legion and the Central Legion aren't as they appear," Yuanen Zhentian thought to himself.

At the same time, she was even more grateful for her decision to ally with the Body Sect.

Indeed, he was the real Angel investor.

Immediately, Yuanen Zhentian seemed to realize something, glanced at Yuanen Tiandang, and silently made up his mind...

Ya Li didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy, so she didn't hear what Jiang Xiu said. She only saw that after Jiang Xiu went over, the Mecha squadron left directly.

"This Jiang Xiu is really surprising..." Ya Li murmured to herself.

Just when she thought she understood Jiang Xiu, Jiang Xiu would always bring new surprises. His identity was like a mystery, making him impossible to figure out.

"No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know him in the future," Ya Li said softly. The more she said this, the more interested she became in Jiang Xiu.

"Commander Yu, how have you been lately?" Jiang Xiu asked with a smile after setting up a layer of Soul Power Soundproof Shield.

"Hey, we're all carrying the burden for the people of the Federation. How is it good or bad?" Yu Guanzhi said cheerfully, but his tone was clearly very relaxed.

Several months ago, Chen Xinjie suddenly announced another period of seclusion.

With Chen Xinjie absent, he, as the second-in-command of the military, is now the most powerful!

In the past few months, he has been thriving both in the military and in the Federation government.

"Commander Yu is truly dedicated," Jiang Xiu remarked, then added with a glint in his eye, "However, Commander Yu doesn't need to work so hard. My master can help share this heavy burden."

"What a little fox!" Yu Guanzhi thought to himself on the other end of the Communication Soul Tool. Jiang Xiu was clearly reminding him of the time when Dong Zi'an didn't compete with him and helped him smoothly become the second-in-command of the military.

However, Yu Guanzhi's smile remained unchanged as he said:

"Young friend Jiang, the next Federation election is in three years. Please give my regards to your master. We must continue our harmonious relationship."

"Of course." Jiang Xiu smiled slightly.

Yu Guanzhi's words clearly indicate that he wants to continue serving as the second-in-command of the Federation military.

Since Yu Guanzhi wants to be in charge, then let him be. His mentor can just be the top military officer...

After all, judging by the timeline, the progress on Qiangu Dongfeng's side should have been somewhat advanced by now, and Chen Xinjie should be stepping down...

"That's good, that's good." Yu Guanzhi smiled upon hearing this, thinking to himself that everything was settled!

He's still the second-in-command in the military!

"I also hope that Commander Yu can help my master in some way at that time." Jiang Xiu said meaningfully.

"No problem," Yu Guanzhi, waving his hand dismissively.

Once he becomes the second or third in command, giving Dong Zi'an some resources wouldn't be a big deal.

Aside from this, Yu Guanzhi didn't think of anything else. After all, Chen Xinjie was now firmly in the top position, and Dong Zi'an couldn't just replace Chen Xinjie directly.

"It's a deal!" Jiang Xiu said with a smile.

"It's a deal!" Yu Guanzhi's lips curled into a smile.

The two of them smiled simultaneously, each believing they had come out on top.
