Luoxingzi was rendered speechless. He thought for a long time but failed to come up with a rebuttal.
The brilliance in Iron Commander Zhou Hengdao's eyes dimmed, but they shrank into a red spot that was smaller and more solid, like burning coal. He said toughly, "Fellow Cultivator Luoxingzi, I am a soldier, and I don't like to beat around the bush. Let's get to the point!
"The Flying Star Sector hopes that the three Sectors will unite to resist the Imperium of True Human Beings, but the two consecutive assaults have proved that it is just a wishful hope and a childish fantasy!
"The Blood Demon Sector will never unite. Even if it is just a pretense, there must be a greater scheme involved!
"In a battle of two armies, what is more dangerous than a terrifying enemy is a terrifying teammate! Do you want to have such a teammate as the Blood Demon Sector behind you when the Imperium of True Human Beings comes?
"The only thing we can do right now is to attack the Blood Demon Sector as soon as possible!
"The Blood Demon Sector is unsteady right now, and it is unprecedentedly weak. But with the help of Burning Prairie and the Grand Illusionary Soldiers, we are unprecedentedly strong!
"If we attack now, it is very likely that we will occupy the entire Blood Demon Sector and capture all the demons to collect resources on the resource planets of your Sector!
"This is the only righteous path to resist the Imperium of True Human Beings and the brightest path of survival in front of us!
"There is no time to hesitate. After the Blood Demon Sector recovers from the chaos, we will have to wait another twenty to thirty years before we have another opportunity. How much time will we have to collect resources?
"After all, the Tian Yuan Realm will certainly try its best to attack the Blood Demon Sector this time! If we can get the help of the Flying Star Sector, of course, we will be more confident. But even without the help of the Flying Star Sector, we will not turn back even if we have no soldiers left!
"What is the best choice for the Flying Star Sector, fellow Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector, please decide for yourself. We will absolutely respect your opinion and will not force you!"
Luoxingzi was completely at a loss.
Although he was the nominal leader of the Flying Star Sector, the Flying Star Sector did not have a unified regime. He had only been managing a sect and a city in space before. How much insight did he have about the big picture and the strategies?
Pressed by Zhou Hengdao, such an experienced warrior, Luoxingzi found it difficult to resist. Sweating hard, he said, "We … will consider it carefully!"
His voice, however, was drowned out by the clamor.
Zhou Hengdao's sudden appearance made it impossible for the meeting to continue. There was no need for it to continue.
Li Yao was not the key. The Blood Demon Sector was. Blood for blood!
Amidst the chaos, no one noticed that a stubborn red figure suddenly stood up and ran out without looking back.
Wu Mayan, on the other hand, noticed Ding Ling Dong's abnormality. He called out "Mistress" but there was no response. Afraid that she would do something stupid, he hurriedly followed behind.
"Swish!"
On the front deck of Burning Prairie, Ding Ling Dong stomped on a flying sword so hard that it almost broke the shell of the ship. She turned into a streak of redness and darted toward the sky!
Wu Mayan hurriedly summoned his Crystal Suit and followed behind her. The two of them flew higher and higher until they were above the thin atmosphere.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! "
Ding Lingdang was like a fire-breathing dragon venting her anger to her heart's content. Her earth-shattering might seemed as if even the atmosphere was about to be blasted apart by her.
"A * shole! Son of a b * tch! I'm going to blow up your head!"
Ding Lingdang bombarded indiscriminately, howling like a ghost.
Although he was hundreds of meters away, Wu Mayan was still staggering because of the blast. He could not help but panic. "Ma — Ma 'am, calm down. Master may have been wronged. Don't be rash!"
"Shua!"
Ding Ling Dong blinked to his front and stared at him so hard that his back was soaked in sweat, only to be dried by the cold wind in the next moment.
Ding Ling Dong took a deep breath and blew out the flames on her fists. She said coldly, "Who says that I'm going to blow up your master's head?"
Wu Mayan was dumbfounded. "Huh? Who are you angry with, Ma 'am?"
Ding Ling Dong sniffed. "Lu Zui, the director of the Secret Sword Bureau, of course. I held myself back for a long time just now, but I couldn't hold it any longer. I couldn't stay down there for one more second! If I stayed one more second, I was afraid that I would've charged forward and blown up his head! "
Wu Mayan was dazed. "Why?"
Ding Ling Dong replied matter-of-factly, "Because he is a bad guy who wronged your master!"
Wu Mayan felt that his head was about to explode. "How did you know that, Ma 'am?"
Ding Ling Dong sneered. "It's true that I'm not capable of analyzing so many messy things, but I'm very clear about one thing.
"Didn't you say that Blood Devil Yan Xibei on Iron Plateau retained all of Yan Xibei's memories, feelings, and thoughts when he was alive, and nobody knew that he was possessed by the Blood Devil before his identity was exposed?"
Wu Mayan nodded. "Yes. So what?"
Ding Ling Dong said, "So, this Blood Devil Yan Xibei behaved exactly the same as the real Yan Xibei before he was exposed?"
Wu Mayan nodded again. "Yes. That was the only way to deceive everybody!"
Ding Ling Dong continued. "So, assuming that Li Yao was really swallowed by the Blood Devil and turned into 'Blood Devil Li Yao', in order to deceive everybody, he would've behaved exactly like the real Li Yao in everything, right?"
It was a rather awkward question. Wu Mayan thought carefully for a moment and replied, "Probably!"
"Then, there's a problem."
Ding Ling Dong narrowed her eyes and said, one word after another, "Then, this Blood Devil Li Yao did something that the real Li Yao would never, ever, ever do!"
Wu Mayan blinked. "What's that?"
Ding Ling Dong replied, "Find another woman!"
"…" Wu Mayan.
"The real Li Yao promised me ten years ago that he would come back and asked me to wait for him!" Ding Ling Dong said.
"Didn't you say it yourself? Over the past ten years in the Flying Star Sector, with his capability and position, countless beauties would've come to him, but he never found another woman. Not even one!
"How could such a Li Yao find another woman even if he turned into the Blood Devil? He knew that I would definitely beat him to death after he returned to the Tian Yuan Realm if he found another woman!
"Therefore, for those who don't know Li Yao well, it might've been a flawless trap, but for me, it was a huge loophole!"
"Cough, cough. That explains a lot. Masteress, your way of thinking is truly … smart!"
"Come here."
Ding Ling Dong curled her finger at him.
Wu Mayan craned his head close. "What can I do for you, Masteress?"
Ding Ling Dong punched his head hard. "Little * sshole, don't think that I can't read the meaning in your eyes. Your eyes are clearly saying that this stupid woman has a moment of enlightenment. That's unbelievable, isn't it?"
Wu Mayan was dumbfounded. He did not expect that Ding Ling Dong would be so perceptive. Her IQ had indeed soared!
"Let me tell you. It's true that I'm short-tempered, but short-tempered does not mean that I'm stupid!"
Ding Ling Dong warmed up her fingers unhurriedly, cracking her knuckles. She grinned hideously and said, "I don't like to use my head because most of the things don't require my head at all. My fists are more than enough to solve them!
"However, if anyone thinks that my fists are bigger than my head and dares to play tricks on me when Li Yao is involved, they can't be more wrong!"
Wu Mayan almost burst into tears. He asked excitedly, "So, Masteress, do you completely trust Master now?"
"Wrong."
Ding Ling Dong said casually, "I've never doubted him since the very beginning. Not for one second."
Wu Mayan was confused again. "Why?"
Ding Ling Dong put on a nostalgic smile and said softly, "Do you know why your master likes me? Let me give you a hint. Two words."
It was perhaps the most difficult question in the entire world. Tilting his head, Wu Mayan thought for a long time before he asked, "Strength?"
"Strength my ass!"
Ding Ling Dong bashed his head hard again. "It's trust. Trust, you little * sshole!
"Your master is someone that I have a discerning eye for talent, carefully selected, and personally trained!"
"The man of Ding Ling Dong must be the most awesome hero in the sea of stars. How can he be so weak as to be swallowed by a tiny Blood Devil?"
Wu Mayan was almost out of breath. He finally understood why his brilliant master had found such a woman. Calming himself down, he asked, "If so, why didn't you say so earlier, Masteress?"
"I did. Professor Mo and I have been suspicious all the time, haven't we?"
Ding Ling Dong said. "But what could we have said under the circumstances? Could I have said that Li Yao was my man and therefore couldn't have been possessed by the Blood Devil? Would it have made any sense to say such things? "
Wu Mayan thought for a moment and realized that it did make sense.
Ding Ling Dong said solemnly, "Besides, all the intelligence came from the Secret Sword Bureau, but it turned out to be false. It suggested that there must be a big bad guy in the leadership of the Secret Sword Bureau. My profession is fighting. How can I be a match for such a schemer?
"I wanted to find Li Yao, too, but there were too many people in the world. Even the Secret Sword Bureau could not find him. How could I find him?
"Besides, my relationship with Li Yao is not a big secret. The big bad guy hiding in the Secret Sword Bureau must be monitoring me closely!
"I'm not scared of danger. I'm only scared that my reckless actions will attract the big bad guy's attention and that he will come up with some sordid tricks to deal with me!
"For example, what if the big bad guy notices my suspicion and attacks me before I do, accusing me of being a Child of the Nether World? If I can't protect myself, who can help Li Yao? "
Wu Mayan nodded quickly. He had never considered such concerns. As expected of his masteress. Other than the size of her fists, she seemed to have absorbed part of his master's essence, too!
Ding Ling Dong clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth. "However, I didn't expect that the enemy would be so bold! There are still a lot of suspicious points about the whole thing. I really don't understand why Lu Zui, the director of the Secret Sword Bureau, would do such a thing. "
Wu Mayan scratched his head. "Then what should we do?"
Ding Ling Dong pounded her fist. "Now there's no other way. We can only bite the bullet and look for your master. Of course, such a complicated thing should be left to him. I'm only responsible for beating people up."
"How dare you frame my man, Ding Ling Dong, so miserably? No matter who the b * stard behind this is, I will make him die a horrible death!"

Roar roar roar roar, the fifth update is delivered!
It has been a long time since I last updated. Old Bull is really exhausted. I will rest a little tomorrow and organize my thoughts!
Actually, I wanted to release the fourth update, but it seems that the fourth update is still at the bottom of the valley. So, I should work harder and release the fifth update, "Rebound from the bottom", haha!
Ding Ling Dong was angry, and the consequences would be severe. Tomorrow, the counterattack would begin. Looking forward to it!
