"The third one is' Han Baling ', the regent of the Ghost Qin in the north.
"The man's expertise in military affairs and combat can be seen from his annihilation of the three hundred thousand soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty last year.
"What is even more dreadful is that the man is quite knowledgeable in politics and culture, too.
"The Ghost Qin in the north used to be hundreds of scattered tribes scattered on the prairies of the north. But they were reorganized by him with iron fists and turned into an unparalleled force. He also absorbed a large batch of unsuccessful Confucian scholars of the Great Qian Dynasty and modified them with the culture of the Great Qian Dynasty. He even changed his surname from 'Han' to 'Han' and from 'Han Baling' to 'Han Baling', indicating that he was not an alien invasion but meant to fight for the rightful position in the central plateaus.
"In the words of the modern Cultivation civilization, the man is a standard 'hybrid-type Cultivator'. He has astonishing talents in both battle and management!
"Although it is just hearsay, and the specific capabilities of the three super experts are not clear yet, by my estimation, they should be between the high level and the peak of the Yuanying Stage.
"Right. Last year, Han Baling marched to the capital with his army. As it happened, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty passed away abruptly. The situation was more perilous than ever. It was all thanks to the young emperor that the situation was reversed.
"It is said that the young emperor is a manifestation of the thousand-year aura of the Great Qian Dynasty. Since he ascended to the throne, he has accomplished quite a few important things resolutely.
"Whether he is truly reviving the Great Qian Dynasty or just having a momentary recovery before his death, the young emperor's capability is certainly not to be underestimated. With the nourishment of a thousand years of bloodline and the enhancement of infinite secret treasures, it is possible that he is above the high level of the Yuanying Stage, too!"
According to Li Yao's inquiry, the four people above were the candidates who were likely to reach a 'strategic partnership' with the Xing Yao Federation.
Although he had slain a Yuanying more than half a month ago, he did not dare underestimate the four Yuanying.
Yuanying was different from Yuanying.
Li Yao had learned that the barbarian land in the southwest was the most remote and poor place in the Great Qian Dynasty in the first place. The Yuanying in this place were of the least quantity and quality. The secret arts and magical equipment that they could inherit were the least.
In the jargon of the ancient Cultivators, it was probably an unorthodox practice that was not presentable.
The Cultivators of the Ancient Sages Sector were mostly gathered in the central plateaus and the Dark Cloud Land.
The spiritual energy there was abundant, and the culture was flourishing. The major sects often had a history of more than a thousand years, and there were also the relics and treasures of dozens of dynasties in the past hundred thousand years. The Yuanying that was cultivated in such an environment was entirely different from the Yuanying that 'Master Spiritual Vulture', who was overjoyed when he found a random residence by himself.
It was needless to mention the dominators such as Han Baling, the regent of Ghost Qin, and the current emperor, who boasted thousands of secret arts and infinite resources.
Even Mother White Lotus Wan Mingzhu and Heaven Battering King Qi Changsheng, who were both rebels, had breached the headquarters of a lot of Cultivation sects during their rampage.
After every Cultivation sect was breached, they would loot the magical equipment and the Cultivation arts. Their business grew bigger and bigger like a rolling snowball.
To this day, the two leaders of the rebels must have had more techniques and magical equipment than the leaders of many famous sects!
If Li Yao had regarded the 'super Yuanying' such as Han Baling, the current emperor, Mother White Lotus, and Heaven Battering King as the 'third-rate Yuanying' such as Master Spiritual Vulture, he would not have been able to cry even if he wanted to.
Let's observe and make further plans. If we are unable to interfere with the local situation, we will have to find a way to recruit more local Yuanying as mercenaries.
When the time comes for a change of regime, many Yuanying from the previous dynasty will have nowhere to go and end up as wanderers in space. If they are offered the citizenship of the Xing Yao Federation, I don't think they will refuse it.
Right. Should the Great Qian Dynasty truly fall apart, will it be helpful to recruit more Cultivators if we bring a Cultivator with the royal bloodline and a lot of Cultivators who are loyal to the royal family back to the Xing Yao Federation and establish a 'government-in-exile of the Great Qian Dynasty'? We can always negotiate with them and fight against the Imperium of True Human Beings together. Then, we will help them restore their country with money, guns, and food!
Li Yao began to think randomly.
Such matters were not urgent. When the two parties did reach out to each other, countless experts on the Federation's side would take care of them. He would not need to come up with any bad ideas.
While eavesdropping on the barbarian Cultivators, I also heard something very interesting.
The most serious external threat of the Great Qian Dynasty is the 'Ghost Qin' in the Dark Cloud Prairies in the north.
"However, 'Ghost Qin' is actually a derogatory name that the Great Qian Dynasty gives them. They call themselves' Cloud Qin '."
The so-called 'Cloud Qin' refers to the 'Cloud Qin Dynasty', the first central empire to unite the Ancient Sages Sector a hundred thousand years ago. The northern alien tribes commanded by Han Baling, on the other hand, consider themselves to be the descendants of the most ancient dynasty. They flatter themselves in order to increase the legitimacy of their conquest of the world.
But that is not important.
What is important is that, according to the legends of this Sector, the Ancient Sages Sector was rife with war a hundred thousand years ago. Countless tribes and small countries were fighting each other for thousands of years.
The Cloud Qin Dynasty was born. It gathered all the magical equipment in the world and built twelve 'Cloud Qin Gold Statues'. With the twelve 'Cloud Qin Gold Statues', the world was established!
It is said that the twelve 'Cloud Qin Gold Statues' were all invincible existences almost three hundred meters tall and made of iron. They boasted immense strength and could summon lightning with a wave of their hands!
Even to this day, enormous footprints or claw marks of the 'Cloud Qin Gold Statues' have been left on many ancient battlefields.
Almost three hundred meters tall, made of iron, and able to summon lightning? Aren't they exactly 'Colossi'?
It seems that the human beings of the Ancient Sages Sector discovered twelve intact Colossi in the primeval age and knew how to use them. It was only with the twelve Colossi that the entire world was unified.
Traces of the Cloud Qin Gold Statues could be found in the few dynasties after the Cloud Qin Dynasty. They were even symbols of hegemony. Whichever force had one Cloud Qin Gold Statue would be able to claim the throne of the world!
However, the Cloud Qin Dynasty has been around for a hundred thousand years. Even if three thousand years is considered as one dynasty, there have been more than fifty changes of dynasties.
"As the stars changed, the twelve Cloud Qin Gold Statues were finally annihilated in the vast river of history."
The last time they appeared in the history of this Sector was about ten thousand years ago. A batch of laborers excavated a gold statue from the mud at the bottom of the river when they were developing the river. They left the magnificent proclamation that 'one eye of the gold statue instigated a rebellion in the Luo River'.
The appearance of the Colossus with one eye alone led to the destruction of a dynasty. But the Colossus went missing in the war, too. Perhaps it was too heavily wounded, and its spiritual energy and ammunition ran out. Nobody knew how to maintain it. So, it sank into the ocean in the end!
The rumors of the twelve Cloud Qin Gold Statues made Li Yao even more reluctant to underestimate the heritage of the Ancient Sages Sector. The information that he had collected was too little. He might as well wait and see!
The first draft of the observation report had been completed. He stretched himself comfortably.
His telepathic thoughts spread out again, and he immediately heard the laughter of a lot of barbarian Cultivators.
In the front, a barbarian Cultivator, whose body was covered in vipers and whose face was painted with all kinds of colors, was biting the ear of another Cultivator who was as thin as a skeleton and looked like a zombie. The two of them were winking at each other and laughing in secret.
The barbarian Cultivator who was covered in vipers chuckled in a low voice. "Gu Siduo, haven't you always been closest to Huo Laoer? Why are you joining the court's army instead of helping him? Hehe!"
The zombie-like barbarian Cultivator shrieked, "There are so many people in the court's army. How can the few of us in the village defeat them? There is an old saying in the central plateaus that 'a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him'. Besides, the Appeasing Ambassador has offered a lot of rewards. What's wrong with joining the court's army? "
"In any case …"
Pausing for a moment, the zombie-like barbarian Cultivator 'Gu Siduo' grinned cunningly. "When we are really in the Fire Rude Clan's town, we will just hide at the back and watch the two groups of northerners fight to their heart's content. If the court wins, it will not be too late for us to help them. But if the pretty girl is beheaded, we will naturally help Huo Laoer. Meng Duo, don't you think so?"
The Snake Dancing Cultivator named Meng Duo chuckled and nodded. "That's right, that's right. When the time comes, why don't the two of us gather together and take care of each other? Let's wait until they've beaten their brains out!"
Gu Siduo narrowed his eyes and said with a fake smile, "I've always been close to Huo Laoer. That's why I'm making such a plan. Aren't you and Boss Huo brothers who have been through life and death together? Why are you so … disloyal?"
Blinking his eyes, Meng Duo said, "Everybody knows that Meng Duo of the Black Clouds Village is the most loyal and loyal to the court. It's absolutely impossible for me to rebel against the court!
"However, the court is too outrageous this time. Not only are they asking the barbarians to hand over so much food and cattle, they are also mobilizing fifty thousand barbarians to fight against Ghost Qin in the north!
"The barbarians are as free as fish in the water in the forests. Once we leave the forests and go to the north, we will be fish out of water. How can we survive in front of the Dark Cloud Ghost Knights?
"Isn't it obvious that they are asking us to get ourselves killed?
"Meng Duo is loyal to the court, but the court is not loyal to Meng Duo. So, I can only put my loyalty aside for now and wait for the situation. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Yes. Yes. Very right!"
