Right now, it was three o 'clock in the afternoon. ☆ →
Inside the parliament building of the Federation in the central district of the capital city, the tedious meeting was still going on.
Although the 'War Motion' had been passed and the Union Army had conducted large-scale live-fire drills in the Dark Desolate Domain to the north of the Grand Desolate Plateau, the Union Army was only part of the total armed forces of the Tian Yuan Realm. The Cultivators scattered in the major sects and other social circles were the other powerful pillars of the Tian Yuan Realm.
Without the support of the major sects, the Union Army could not secure the final victory on its own.
Therefore, since the war machine was activated, the leadership of the top five hundred sects of the Federation had all gone to the capital city to discuss with the representatives how the major sects should participate in the war, how to cooperate with the Union Army, and how to distribute the interests after the war.
It meant that, at this moment, in the parliament building of the Federation, other than all the representatives, there were also more than a thousand experts, including the leadership of the top five hundred sects, the professors of the Nine Elite Universities, and the strong unaffiliated Cultivators!
The thousand experts were all people who could influence the future of the Federation!
Outside of the parliament building, in the central district and even the entire capital city, an unprecedented 'victory parade' reached the climax after several hours of ferment.
The representatives of hundreds of thousands of veterans from thousands of towns across the country, together with the students of the universities and high schools in the capital city, and the representatives of the citizens of various industries, held an enormous gathering in the square of the Federation first to pay homage to the compatriots who were unfortunately killed in the explosion in the square of the Federation and to express the spirit of 'never give up'. Then, they turned into scorching torrents of iron and swept across every street and alley in the capital city.
After they turned the capital city into a simmering ocean of fire with their zealous spirit and their sonorous songs, the team made of veterans, students, workers, peddlers, and ordinary citizens marched toward the parliament building of the Federation from various directions, carrying tens of thousands of Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flags.
They would meet in the square in front of the parliament building of the Federation and conclude the victory parade of the day with a passionate battle song. In such a way, they would express the fury and determination of every citizen of the Federation to the big shots in the parliament building!
What was ironic was that the scale of the 'victory parade' was so large and organized so quickly because the Patriots Partnership had been behind it, too.
The Patriots Partnership hoped to further incite the public opinion and exert more pressure on parliament and the leadership of the major sects in such a way so that the war would break out as soon as possible!
However, when they were promoting the parade of victory, Lu Zui and the 'patriots' could never have foreseen that three inconspicuous figures would blend into the crowd that was flowing like magma and quickly move toward the parliament building of the Federation under the cover of dazzling banners and flags.
They were none other than Li Yao, Ding Ling Dong, and Wu Mayan!
Li Yao was carrying the cracked Jade Crystal Disc. Ding Ling Dong and Wu Mayan were covering him from more than ten meters away. The three of them contacted each other through the point-to-point communicators and completed the critical strike on the Patriots Partnership together!
Professor Mo Xuan and Xie Anan were both pure refiners who did not have much combat ability. After cracking the Jade Crystal Disc, they had been hiding in the darkness, trying to reach out to the leadership of the various worlds that they knew.
However —
The cracking of the Jade Crystal Disc was more complicated than they had imagined. Without the assistance of the super-large mainframe crystal processor, it took Professor Mo Xuan almost twenty minutes to finish the work despite his astonishing computational ability. Together with the time that they spent in disguise, there was not much time left for them!
The cracked Jade Crystal Disc stored tremendous information about Elder Nether Spring's memories. The information was as vast and complicated as an ocean. It was impossible for them to be uploaded to the Spiritual Nexus in less than twenty minutes.
Besides, the Patriots Partnership must have been monitoring the Spiritual Nexus in the area and set up relevant keywords. Once the data about 'Elder Nether Spring' appeared on the Spiritual Nexus, they would certainly discover it and cut off the connection to the Spiritual Nexus immediately. Then, they would be able to track them down!
Li Yao was very clear that, even if Guo Chunfeng sacrificed himself to buy more time, the search for the explosion site would be completed very soon. With Lu Zui's shrewdness, there was no way that he would be delayed by Guo Chunfeng for too long!
"Damn it. The Spiritual Nexus has been seriously jammed. It is not targeting me alone but all the wireless signals in the area. The virtual channel of the wireless Spiritual Nexus has been jammed, and the speed of the Spiritual Nexus has plummeted to the lowest level!
"At such a speed, not just the large files that contain millions of thoughts, even the pictures and videos can barely be uploaded to the Spiritual Nexus!
"Lu Zui did realize what was going on. He guessed that our destination was the parliament building of the Federation and blocked the Spiritual Nexus in the area!
"He — he is truly crazy. This place is right next to the parliament building of the Federation. Is he not scared that somebody will notice that he has blocked the signals of the Spiritual Nexus?
"Or maybe, he has no choice but to take a gamble. As long as he can catch me and get the Jade Crystal Disc in half an hour, the temporary blockage of the Spiritual Nexus will be explainable!
"Can I escape?"
"Maybe. The capital city is too large, and the environment is too chaotic. It is not difficult for me to escape. After I get out of the capital city, I will figure out a way to send out the evidence of Lu Zui's crimes!
"However, it will be a waste of time. There is no way that I can take care of Lu Zui quickly and neatly. With the profound foundation of the Patriots Partnership, it will not be a problem for me to stall for half a month!
"Right now, the war deep inside the Grand Desolate Plateau is being prepared. Half a month is more than enough for the Union Army to attack the Blood Demon Sector. Once the Union Army and the Coalition Army of Demons break out in a bloody battle, everything will be doomed!
"Therefore, we have no choice but to fight Lu Zui to the death here!"
Although he was surrounded by people who were as enthusiastic as a volcano eruption, Li Yao's eyes were as cold and hard as the ice crystals that had crawled out of the deepest part of the South Pole.
He could vaguely see the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag that was flying high above the parliament building of the Federation, as well as the national emblem of the Federation where nine dragons were entangled and swords were crossed.
Li Yao almost had no time to disguise his identity. He accelerated and marched toward the flag and the national emblem!
"Guo Chunfeng has fulfilled his promise and bought me half an hour. The most important half an hour!
"There are only three kilometers between me and the parliament building of the Federation!
"I must live up to his promise. Even if I have to die, I will die in the parliament building of the Federation and deliver the Jade Crystal Disc to all the representatives and experts!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Above the crowd and among the skyscrapers, more than ten strong winds rushed close. Li Yao, Ding Ling Dong, and Wu Mayan all had the creepy feeling that somebody had locked onto them.
"Master, it's the hunting squad that is going to ambush you. You go first. I'll take care of them!"
Wu Mayan bellowed in the communication channel. He blinked into a building next to the street and dashed to the commanding heights.
"Ah Yan!"
Li Yao bellowed. He was very clear about the capability of the hunting squad. Even without 'Death Ray' Ye Changkong as the leader, they were still a formidable force!
"Don't worry, Master!"
Wu Mayan shrieked. "On Iron Plateau, everybody slandered my foster father, Xiong Wuji, as a murderer. You were the only one who believed him and cleared his name, Master!
"Today, I will clear your name, too, Master!
"Trust me. I am the best training genius on Iron Plateau, the most distinguished young man of the Flying Star Sector, and your first disciple!
"More importantly, I was tortured by Masteress for more than half a year. Brutal as those scumbags are, can they be more brutal than Masteress?
"Let's move forward, Master. Trust me!
"Scumbags, come on. Open your eyes and look carefully. This is the legendary '150th level of the Refinement Stage' that I created myself. It's a super level!"
Wu Mayan's shrieks were eclipsed by the surging spiritual waves. The intimidating aura among the skyscrapers was disordered.
Li Yao sniffed hard. There was no telling whether he was crying or laughing. He walked faster and mumbled, "I trust you, Ah Yan. I absolutely trust you!"
He and Ding Ling Dong were getting closer and closer to the parliament building of the Federation. There were only two kilometers to go!
In the sky, a few burning flames that looked like shooting stars were rushing close from afar. They were the crystal warships of the Secret Sword Bureau!
Four streaks of brilliance rushed out of the largest crystal warship that looked like a shark. Before they arrived, their intimidating aura had already crossed thousands of meters and locked onto Li Yao!
Li Yao's disguise was too hasty after all. Also, the parliament building of the Federation was the key surveillance area of the Patriots Partnership. Under the scanning of thousands of crystal cameras, Li Yao had nowhere to hide and was completely exposed in only several minutes.
Not far behind him, Ding Ling Dong suddenly came to a halt.
Dozens of meters away from each other, the two of them looked at each other in silence amidst the crowd that was pushing shoulder to shoulder.
"They are four experts from Jin Dan," Li Yao said.
"Trust me," Ding Ling Dong said.
"… Alright. I trust you. I trust every one of you!" Li Yao said.
His eyes were filled with something translucent, to the extent that the path ahead of him was somewhat blurred. However, he did not slow down at all. Even though he sensed that dozens of flying swords were rushing at the critical parts on his back from various angles, he did not change his direction or his footsteps!
As he expected, a moment later, he sensed that all the flying swords were engulfed by scorching flames. Ding Lingdang's deafening roar came from the communication channel. "Who the f * ck dares to touch my husband? Line up and die!"
