Chapter 245: Infernal Affairs

On that evening, Kong Wenming returned to the East Sea, still wearing the jellyfish oxygen mask, looking quite mysterious.

The Black Dragon King immediately asked, “How did your investigation go? Is my brother Xuanwu really related to the human Ye Xuan?”

Kong Wenming waved his hand and said, “I made a mistake. That kid Ye Xuan has been at school all along, causing trouble. Xuanwu Warlord has nothing to do with Ye Xuan.”

The Black Dragon King chuckled, “I knew it. You must have made a mistake. Your baseless suspicion has hurt Xuanwu’s feelings. Apologize to him quickly.”

Kong Wenming nodded, “Alright, Brother Xuanwu, I apologize to you. We must work together under the Black Dragon King’s command in the future.”

Ye Xuan, in his Xuanwu form, coldly snorted, indicating that he wasn’t that forgiving.

Kong Wenming didn’t mind and said to the Black Dragon King, “Your Majesty, I want to borrow one of your subordinates.”

The Black Dragon King was puzzled, “Borrow a subordinate? Which one do you want to borrow?”

Kong Wenming pointed at Ye Xuan and said, “Xuanwu Warlord.”

The Black Dragon King was surprised, “Borrow Xuanwu? What do you intend to do?”

Kong Wenming explained, “With the wealth you provided me, I have become quite wealthy in the Magic City. With this status, I’ve gathered a lot of information, allowing us to know our enemies and ensure victories in battles.

But now, due to the large-scale disturbances in the Magic City, it has led to numerous bloody incidents.

Now, my wealthy status is no longer effective, making it difficult to obtain valuable intelligence. So, I plan to infiltrate the Awakening Academy in the Magic City.

The Awakening Academy is not accessible to ordinary people; one needs sufficient potential and talent to enter. I plan to enter as a Beast Tamer.

Your other warlords have appeared before the students of the Awakening Academy.

But Xuanwu is different; it has always fought alone, and no one at the Awakening Academy knows it. With Xuanwu’s strength, it can establish my position in the Awakening Academy, making it easier to access core secrets.”

The Black Dragon King hesitated, “Isn’t this too risky? Although I just recruited Xuanwu Warlord, its combat power surpasses that of the Giant Turtle Warlord. We can’t afford to lose it easily!”

Kong Wenming explained, “Even if there’s a risk, Xuanwu Warlord and I will bear it together.

I’m doing this to ensure that your lineage can obtain more information from humans, help you unify the seas, and enter the Magic City, right? You don’t doubt my loyalty, do you?”

The Black Dragon King looked at Ye Xuan and said, “The key is, Xuanwu Warlord may not agree.”

Listening to the conversation between the Dragon and the man, Ye Xuan almost burst out laughing.

I was an undercover agent from the Awakening Academy. Now you want me to go back undercover?

Kong Ming Warlord, are you tired of living? If I don’t help you, wouldn’t that be unfair to you?

Of course, with his current identity, he should refuse.

Therefore, Ye Xuan suppressed his smile and said, “I don’t want to. I just want to live in the East Sea and not go to the human world!”

Kong Wenming wasn’t surprised by Ye Xuan’s words and had already thought of a solution.

He directly said, “Xuanwu, I don’t know if you understand humans, but I can tell you that humans, when facing your kind, are in a defensive position.

But they have plenty of resources. If you follow me and go undercover at the Awakening Academy in the Magic City, I can guarantee that your evolution will be faster than now, and your strength will surpass that of other warlords.”

Pretending to be somewhat tempted, Ye Xuan looked at the Black Dragon King and asked, “Is what this human said true?”

The Black Dragon King also hoped that Xuanwu Warlord would agree, as this would provide him with more crucial information.

Therefore, the Black Dragon King nodded and said, “Yes, humans indeed have many resources. Following him will enhance your strength faster than following me.”

After some hesitation, Ye Xuan finally agreed, “Alright, I can go to the human world with you, but if I sense anything wrong, I will leave immediately.”

Kong Wenming smiled, “Don’t worry, my background is clean, and no one will suspect me. As long as you don’t openly harm people and keep a low profile, there won’t be any problems!”

At that moment, Kong Wenming felt very pleased. He had found his second retreat.

Kong Wenming didn’t just want to go undercover at the Awakening Academy; he also wanted to find a second retreat for himself.

If humans continued to weaken, and the beasts gained the upper hand, he would be a valuable asset by going undercover and providing information to the Black Dragon King. If the Magic City fell in the future, he, Kong Wenming, would be a hero, enjoying all the luxuries.

If humans had some hidden strength, and the East Sea beasts were pushed back, he would have a new retreat.

Kong Wenming hadn’t thought about this before; he believed that humans would eventually perish, and standing with the beasts would be enough.

However, the Black Dragon King’s tsunami that flooded the Magic City made Kong Wenming realize that things weren’t that simple.

The appearance of the Golden Cudgel, a mythical weapon, in the Magic City successfully stopped the flooding.

Kong Wenming felt that he knew too little about humans; perhaps humans had some hidden strength that he didn’t know about!

Therefore, Kong Wenming made the decision to go undercover. If the beasts were pushed back, and humans gained the upper hand, even if the Black Dragon King was defeated, he, Kong Wenming, could still thrive with the identity of an Awakening Academy student.

As for whether Xuanwu would betray him in the future, he wasn’t worried at all. He felt that Xuanwu was quite simple-minded.

Not very intelligent, straightforward, and easily deceived, Xuanwu would undoubtedly follow him and thrive in human society, becoming his loyal follower!

Later, the Black Dragon King approved the plan, saying, “Alright, it’s settled then. Xuanwu, cooperate with Kong Ming Warlord well in the human society. Your future is limitless.”

Ye Xuan nodded, agreeing to the plan.

Kong Wenming, the Black Dragon King, and Ye Xuan discussed a few more details before sitting on Ye Xuan’s turtle shell. Kong Wenming said, “Xuanwu, let’s go. We will return to the human society now and report to the Awakening Academy tomorrow!

I heard that there was a conflict between Ye Xuan and Su Mengli from the Awakening Academy. I’ll take advantage of this opportunity and maybe even win over this goddess!”

The cold eyes in Ye Xuan’s snake head stared at Kong Wenming, thinking, “He’s treating me as a mount and still has ideas about my girlfriend. Let’s see how this plays out!”
