"Who exactly is he?"

Lin Siyin looked at Jiang Yuan, who was leaning back in his chair, and finally asked the question that had been bothering her.

"He..." Gu Anlei swallowed her words, and finally changed her tune, saying, "He's a comrade-in-arms of mine. I don't know his identity. You should ask him yourself!"

She passed the question back to Jiang Yuan, as she didn't want to get involved in such matters, and Jiang Yuan had previously instructed her not to reveal her identity.

Jiang Yuan awoke from his deep sleep, but the moment he opened his eyes, they still gleamed with a dark light, a sign that the demonic influence had not yet subsided.

Gu Anlei's exquisite holy soul ultimately failed to awaken, and its purification ability was limited, so once it escaped the demonization, it would make a comeback.

"Do you want me to sigh with my life?" Gu Anlei stood between Lin Siyin and Jiang Yuan, afraid that Lin Siyin would see something fishy on Jiang Yuan's face.

"No need, you can save it to kill powerful opponents!"

The Life Sigh skill goes on cooldown whether used for healing or dealing damage. Saving him now means it can't be used for the next twelve hours, and those twelve hours are crucial.

"Are you alright?" Gu Anlei asked worriedly, looking at Jiang Yuan who was covered in injuries.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, looked up at Gu Anlei, and apologized, "I attacked you just now, I..."

"It's nothing, just a punch, not like I took a knife for him!" Gu Anlei shook her head magnanimously. Although she said that, she was actually willing to take a knife for Jiang Yuan once, otherwise she would never be able to repay Jiang Yuan for saving her life.

Jiang Yuan gave a wry smile. He noticed Lin Siyin behind him and, after thinking for a moment, confessed, "Little sister, don't you recognize me? You were so friendly calling me Uncle Qingmu before!"

"Are you Aoki?"

Lin Siyin looked at him suspiciously, then muttered softly, "Why do I feel like you're that older brother who helped me before?"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, dispelling some of the demonic energy before him, and said self-deprecatingly, "I don't have any average face, so why have several girls said that to me? You don't have any designs on me, do you?"

Gu Anlei seized the opportunity to say, "Siyin, ignore this narcissistic guy. Go check if the warship's weapon system is broken."

"Ah? But I don't know how to operate a warship," Lin Siyin quickly explained, trying to deflect the question.

"It's alright, just press and hold that red button for three seconds to restart. We need to make sure the battle ahead goes smoothly!" Gu Anlei said.

She was quite adept at conning people. Lin Siyin had originally wanted to investigate Jiang Yuan's identity, but after hearing what Gu Anlei said, she had no choice but to tinker with the weapon system.

"Hey, what are your plans next?" Gu Anlei nudged Jiang Yuan.

"Wait!"

Jiang Yuan shrugged casually, wiped his face, then put his hand to his nose and smelled it, saying with a hint of disgust, "Why does this blood taste so fishy? I thought the blood of you fairies was sweet!"

"Go to hell!" Gu Anlei kicked him with a smile. This guy not only made her vomit half a bowl of blood but also showed no remorse and even mocked her. He really has no shame when it comes to being a dog.

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding!"

Jiang Yuan got up from the ground, straightened up and continued, "The resurrection of Zhu Yan is an inevitable trend. We have done enough. As for the new students, they can only pray for their own good fortune!"

"When I arrived, there were less than half the freshmen left. It seems this assessment is really going to be a killer!" Gu Anlei shook her head and sighed.

"There's no other way. If we don't intervene, the number of new students who die will be even more terrifying!" Jiang Yuan had already done his best. The new students of Huasheng Academy were simply too weak and no match for the Holy Spirit Clan and the Beast Clan.

Gu Anlei turned on the projection screen and said, "The Beast King's territory has shrunk to the size of only one county town. If this continues, the final range will probably only be around Hanyang Lake."

"We can only wait! Besides, what we get in return might not necessarily mean we lose!"

At this moment, Jiang Yuan's smile was extremely sinister. He held no fewer cards than the beastmen: Xie Chuan, who had been sent into the Zhu Yan's skeleton using the power of reincarnation, the Zhu Yan's heart sealed by Lin Siyin, and a Beast King's Token. These were all opportunities for him to turn the tables.

"Wait there, I'll treat you over there!"

Besides the Sigh of Life, Gu Anlei also possessed some healing skills, which, although not very effective, could still play a small role at this moment.

As the Beast King's domain contracted, both the Holy Spirit Clan and the Human Clan within Han City realized the gravity of the situation.

After losing 70% of their forces, the Holy Spirit Clan began to retreat. They no longer had the confidence to fight the reckless Beastmen. Under the organization of Fu Tian, ​​who had only one hand, the three thousand Holy Spirit Clan members began to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner, trying to avoid fighting the Beastmen near Hanyang Lake.

After clearing out the beastmen emerging from the divine veins, the human race began to split into several groups and hide. This was because if the Zhu Yan were to reappear, hiding together would only lead to their complete annihilation. In that case, the sixth freshman class of Hua Sheng Academy would be wiped out, and the entire Central Continent would be without any fresh blood for a long time, which would be fatal for the Central Continent.

As for the beastmen, their madness refreshed everyone else's understanding. Hanyang Lake was no longer the same Hanyang Lake it once was. If it was a calm and clean pool of water before, it was now a sea of ​​blood, with blood churning in the lake and the entire surface filled with death.

Jiang Yuan could even foresee what would happen next from such a scene. Things always turn around when they reach their extreme. The seemingly desolate Hanyang Lake would eventually give birth to a powerful life force, and only the bones of Zhu Yan could absorb this life force.

"Jiang Yuan, look at the terrain of the entire Hanyang Lake!"

Gu Anlei woke up Jiang Yuan, who was in a self-repairing state. Jiang Yuan didn't think much of it and got up to walk to the observation deck to look down at the area covered by the Beast King's Domain.
