What Master Black Moon said was not necessarily a lie. It was more likely that it was half true.
Master Black Moon and Master Spiritual Vulture, the two senior brothers who had betrayed their master together, might indeed have deep grudges against each other, which made him try his best to eliminate the other party.
But it was also possible that Master Spiritual Vulture had long discovered the ancient residence where the Pangu Battlesuit and the heritage of the previous Cultivators were stored. He was determined to train himself in seclusion for decades, but he was scared that his enemies and senior brother would find him. Therefore, he decided to meet their plan and pretended that he had fallen off a cliff because of the lethal poison.
Perhaps, after cultivating in the cave for dozens of years, assimilating the legacies of the senior cultivators, and crafting eighty-one Soul-Devouring Fiendish Sabers, the first thing he would do would be to find his Senior Brother, Master Black Moon, and wipe out his entire sect!
Thankfully, the heavens were not blind. When his scheme was about to work out, he encountered Li Yao, the unreasonable extraterrestrial Yuanying, who suppressed him with the Crystal Suit, destroying his soul and making it impossible for him to be reincarnated.
The identity of Master Spiritual Vulture is too perfect.
Li Yao mumbled to himself.
First of all, the Yuanying did not appear out of nowhere. His background and background were clear to all. Also, he had been rather famous a hundred years ago.
In the world of ancient Cultivators, there were too many guys who had been training in seclusion for decades. It was not unusual for the old monsters who had disappeared for decades to reappear.
Secondly, Master Spiritual Vulture was a gloomy, temperamental, and bloodthirsty loner. He had always been a loner. His senior brother Master Black Moon was probably the only one who was familiar with his appearance and personality.
If he had indeed been training in seclusion for decades with evil arts, it was not unusual that his personality and appearance had undergone drastic changes.
As long as he did not run into his senior brother Master Black Moon, he would not need to worry that he would be exposed.
Moreover, with this man's fierce reputation, even if others were suspicious, they would not dare to test him in person.
Besides, although Master Spiritual Vulture was a notorious bandit, according to the introduction of the two barbarian Cultivators, he had been active in the Southland of Sorcerers for decades and had never left it. He had never committed any shocking murders in the Great Qian Dynasty. Therefore, he did not hate the mainstream Cultivators at all.
Ever since he annihilated eight tribes in a row, his brutality had spread out in the Southland of Sorcerers. Together with the threats he made later, none of the barbarian Cultivators dared to confront him head-on.
All the locals of the Sorcerers Barbarian worshiped him as if he were a god. There was no need for them to kill him. Therefore, he didn't kill too many people in the following decades.
Therefore, even though this man had been a notorious person for a long time, he had not reached the level where everyone had the right to kill him.
The Southland of Sorcerers had its own system in the first place. The great states of the central plateaus regarded them as cannibals who drank raw meat and blood. They were not required to abide by the rules and etiquette of the central plateaus. As long as they behaved themselves when they went to the central plateaus, the two parties would live in peace.
Of course, with such a reputation of being cunning, temperamental, and bloodthirsty, it would be inconvenient for him to be integrated into the mainstream Cultivators after all.
However, Li Yao's thoughts had subtly changed. He did not consider the court of the Great Qian Dynasty as his only target for negotiation.
The Great Qian Dynasty, the White Lotus Cult, the Heaven Battering King, and Ghost Qin were all forces that needed to be investigated.
Master Spiritual Vulture's identity might be rejected by the mainstream Cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty, but for the peasant insurrections such as the Heaven Battering King, the White Lotus Cult, and the new forces that were ambitious to change the dynasty such as Ghost Qin, it was possible that he would be in his element.
Villains had their advantages. The purpose of Li Yao's trip was to investigate, and the investigation did not necessarily have to be carried out from the front.
If a certain power knew that he was a cruel and heartless murderer, and even saw that he had sacrificed more than two hundred children's souls and remained indifferent, and still talked cheerfully with him, then no matter how suitable the conditions of this power were, there would be no need to negotiate.
More importantly, if the person was a righteous and righteous man, how could Li Yao possibly kill him and steal his identity?
I've made up my mind. I will act as Master Spiritual Vulture and investigate the strengths and weaknesses of the Great Qian Dynasty, the White Lotus Cult, the Heaven Battering King, and Ghost Qin. I will also investigate the Imperium of True Human Beings and the source of the mysterious signal a hundred years ago. After everything is settled, I will establish a space gate, summon the space fleet from the Federation, and conquer the Ancient Sages Sector.
Li Yao was not a man who liked to pretend to be weak.
Besides, acting pretentiously in front of the barbarians would be an insult to his delicate acting skills.
Now that he had made sure that the identity of Master Spiritual Vulture was not too troublesome, he did not want to waste any more time. He was about to unleash his aura and reveal the real face of 'Master Spiritual Vulture' so that he could collect information of a higher level from Ling Shoujing, the Appeasing Ambassador of the Fifth Prefecture of the Southland of Sorcerers, and his daughter, Ling Lanyin, the female Cultivator of the Purple Pole Sword Sect.
However, the words of the two barbarian Cultivators interrupted Li Yao's movement. “
"Brother Snake Swallower, I dare not say that. Although Master Spiritual Vulture has been traveling around the world for decades, his senior brother, Master Black Moon, is the most brilliant Grand Magus in the Southland of Sorcerers. He has already stepped into the Yuanying level and is highly respected.
"All the tribes in the Southland of Sorcerers respect him as if he were a god.
"Even this time, the leader and the second leader of the Fire Rude Clan were willing to stop fighting and negotiate because of Master Black Moon's order. They had to listen.
"Master Black Moon is the host of the negotiation. Right now, he is stabilizing the situation in the Fire Rude Clan's village. He and Master Spiritual Vulture are of the same origin, and many of their techniques are identical. If Brother Snake Swallower criticizes Master Spiritual Vulture's techniques, chances are that Master Black Moon will be displeased. That will be terrible."
Master Black Moon was the convener and the middleman of the negotiation. Also, he was a person of the Yuanying level. The news made Li Yao hesitate again.
If he revealed his identity as' Master Spiritual Vulture ', other people might not have the courage to investigate and question him, but his senior brother,' Master Black Moon ', would definitely not pass the test.
If the issue was not settled cleanly, it would certainly be a problem in the future. Chances were that it would become his fatal weakness at a critical moment.
Li Yao could only hold back the thought of transforming immediately and move forward on the giant boa.
In the days that followed, they were on their way in the forests.
As the yellow dragon flag and the enlistment order of the Great Qian Dynasty were sent to the depths of the forest, a lot of barbarian Cultivators came to join them. The flags in all kinds of bizarre shapes were waving even more ostentatiously.
Li Yao simply hung around with Meng Duo and Gu Siduo, two seasoned barbarian Cultivators. He pretended that he was young, unreasonable, and foolish, and elicited a lot of intelligence from them.
It was a pity that they were all uncivilized people, and most of the intelligence they knew was about the Southland of Sorcerers. They did not know much about the current situation of the Cultivators in the central plateaus.
Li Yao tried all the tricks that he had learned from Guo Chunfeng, but he only got another piece of valuable information from them.
A hundred years ago, there were Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage in the Ancient Sages Sector.
It was said that an invincible, invincible Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator had appeared in the Great Qian Dynasty and the Dark Cloud Prairies at that time. The two of them even had a shocking, unbelievable competition.
After the competition, the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators went missing. Some said that they were both killed, some said that they broke the void and left, and some said that they perceived the mysterious truths of nature during the competition and went to train in seclusion.
In any case, a hundred years was not a long time for the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators. It was very possible that the two of them were still alive in a certain form.
Also.
They were already Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators a hundred years ago. God only knew how strong they would be after another hundred years of training.
Li Yao was very sensitive about the 'hundred years'.
A hundred years ago, two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators went missing mysteriously in a summit competition.
A hundred years ago, the Ancient Sages Sector sent a weird signal to the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Flying Star Sector.
Was there a connection between the two incidents?
I have to find the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators and persuade them to take the Federation's side.
If the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators join the expedition army of the Imperium, it will be a heavy blow for the Federation.
Li Yao felt that his blood was freezing the moment he pictured the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators sneaking into the capital city of the Federation and going on a killing spree.
Besides, the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were both leaders of the Cultivators. Their stance could decide the stance of the hundreds of Yuanying. Whichever side they took, there would be a chain reaction. The consequences were not something that the Federation could bear.
Li Yao could not help but feel lucky.
Before, there had been a lot of objections about whether or not such a high-risk, long-distance exploration should be carried out.
But now, it seemed that he was lucky that he had come and had a chance to change everything.
Ling Shoujing, the Appeasing Ambassador, and Ling Lanyin, the female Cultivator of the Purple Pole Sword Sect, had both met the barbarian Cultivators.
Ling Shoujing was fine. Although he was a Grade-Two official of the court and in the beginning level of the Core Formation Stage himself, he did not put on airs for the barbarians who lived in the middle of nowhere. He tried his best to win them over.
Ling Lanyin, the female Cultivator of the Jin Dan Sect, on the other hand, was somewhat aloof and indifferent.
She was an expert of the level of Jin Dan Sect from a renowned sect in the central plateaus after all. Most of the barbarian Cultivators knew themselves well enough to be satisfied if they could talk to her for a while.
The most important thing was that the Great Qian Dynasty had spared no expense this time. Ling Shoujing's army had brought tremendous crystals and magical equipment other than sabers, swords, and armor. Any barbarian Cultivator who was willing to serve the court would return with a full load.
For a moment, their morale was high, as if they were truly an invincible army from the heavens.
However, Li Yao was good at reading microexpressions. He could tell that Ling Lanyin was somewhat anxious and worried from the twitching facial muscles and the constriction of her pupils.
After releasing Neltharion to eavesdrop on the conversation between her and her father, he learned that the Purple Pole Sword Sect had a batch of strong reinforcements led by a Yuanying Sword Cultivator. They should have joined them a few days ago, but for some reason, they had not arrived yet.
