"Don't trust him."
Han Baling's mace in the shape of a bear's claw raised ferocious tornadoes. His voice echoed in the temple of the Colossi along with the tornadoes. "Fellow Cultivator Qi, Fellow Cultivator Yan, Fellow Cultivator Ba, Master Bitter Cicada, and everybody from the six major sects, the situation has changed. There's no telling what your little emperor is up to in secret. His men are obviously trying to invade the Cloud Qin Gold Statues. If he gains control of the Cloud Qin Gold Statues, we will be fish on the chopping board at his mercy.
"At this moment, we should abandon our prejudices and work together to resist Emperor Phoenix Zhu Zongyou."
"Hehe."
Emperor Phoenix sneered and glared at Qi Zhongdao and the people of the six major sects in front of him. His voice was as loud as thunder, and his words were indeed the law. "If you are the loyal subjects and martyrs of the Great Qian Dynasty, I will certainly not hesitate to reward you. Just like I said, whoever executes Han Baling, Wan Mingzhu, and Qi Changsheng will get the Cloud Qin Gold Statues. You don't know how to use the Cloud Qin Gold Statues, do you? That's fine.
"Otherwise, humph, humph, if anyone degenerates and insists on being a traitor of the Great Qian Dynasty, the sword in my hand will not have the slightest hesitation or mercy. Everyone has the right to kill traitors and traitors. Not only will they die without a burial place, their sects and families will also be implicated. Countless people will be minced into pieces, and countless people will be cut into pieces and abandoned in the market."
"Your families and sects have been supporting the Great Qian Dynasty for almost a thousand years. You have made great contributions.
"The court has never wronged you, either, allowing you to lead the heroes and become the dominators of the world of Cultivators.
"Right now, we are before the turbulence of the storm. A family can rise or fall with a single thought. Don't be blinded by your greed and make mistakes.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Let's take action together."
Han Baling was sweating hard in anxiety. "Qi Zhongdao, six major sects, what are you waiting for? When your emperor activates the Cloud Qin Gold Statues, let's see if he will still talk to you so nicely. Think about the four princes who died abruptly in the Divine Capital from last year to this year. They all mocked him brutally in the past. Do you not know how narrow-minded and vengeful Zhu Zongyou is? by the time he controls the Cloud Qin Gold Statues, everything will be too late.
"Your Majesty.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Zhongdao finally made up his mind. Glancing at Yan Liren, Ba Xiaoyu, and the people of the six major sects next to him, he gnashed his teeth and said, "The situation right now is too unpredictable. Please evacuate the Cloud Qin Gold Statues first, Your Majesty.
"Master Righteous One."
Emperor Phoenix was slightly dazed. The tiny blood spots on his face were even more vivid, as if red beans had been sprayed all over his face. He was so infuriated that he laughed and said gloomily, "Are you going to betray me, the court, and the Great Qian Dynasty by mixing with the barbarians and rebels? Are you going to be an unfilial, disobedient, and heartless traitor?"
"I dare not."
Resisting the pressure, Qi Zhongdao stared at the imperial guards of the Fiery Phoenix who were moving on the shoulder of the Colossus far away and said, "I only want to ask you to enlighten me, Your Majesty. Why are Your Majesty's men wearing such weird armor, and why do they know how to use the Cloud Qin Gold Statues?"
In the Great Qian Dynasty, the emperor and the high-level Cultivators were in a relatively equal relationship. If it were any other time, if they were willing to do the emperor a favor, the Yuanying would condescend and call themselves' subjects', too.
But right now, Qi Zhongdao was calling himself 'Qi Zhongdao' instead of 'subject'. The hostility was obvious.
Also, the way he raised the question was rather tricky, too. It was like slapping the critical part of a viper brutally. The high-level Cultivators of the six major sects next to him were all alarmed.
Judging from Emperor Phoenix's attitude, his subordinates were obviously capable of activating the Cloud Qin Gold Statues.
But how was it possible?
The Cloud Qin Gold Statues had not shown up for ten thousand years. Where did he learn how to use them?
According to the legends, the Cloud Qin Gold Statues boasted the unparalleled power of destruction. Even if it was an exaggeration, it should be more than easy for them to deal with seventy or so Yuanying Cultivators.
If the Cloud Qin Gold Statues were truly controlled by Emperor Phoenix, the situation would indeed be very unfavorable.
The three saints, the three rapscallions, the Cultivators of the six major sects, and Master Bitter Cicada were all on Emperor Phoenix's opposite side.
Emperor Phoenix, on the other hand, was not scared at all. With a hint of disdain, he glanced at the imperial guard on the shoulder of the black-skeleton-like Colossus.
The imperial guard was on one of his knees. His Crystal Suit was different from other people's in the first place. His head was particularly large and brimming with crystal tubes and wires. He connected the wires to the back of the head of the black-skeleton-like Colossus. The wires were all straightened. There was no telling what he was doing.
"He is cracking the Colossus."
Inside the bridge, Li Yao could tell by himself that the mysterious person, who was suspected to be a special agent of the Imperium, was cracking the control permissions of the Colossus from the outside with a Crystal Suit that was particularly adept at crystal processor infiltration and decryption. He was also examining the status of the Colossus and making the final preparations to activate the Colossus.
Li Yao immediately felt that his mouth was dry, and his back was soaked in sweat. He looked at Long Yangjun and said anxiously, "We can't stand by and do nothing. There will be dire consequences if Emperor Phoenix does control the Colossus. We have to find a way to stop it.
"There must be a teleportation array inside the bridge. Is there any way to activate it and teleport us directly to the temple of the Colossus?"
"What do you think I've been doing for such a long time?"
Long Yangjun said coldly. Bright gold sweat was popping up on her forehead, too. "I've been trying to find a way to activate the teleportation array, but it's even more difficult to activate than the surveillance pictures. I need time."
Pausing for a moment, she bit her lips and narrowed her eyes, mumbling, one word after another, "This starship is mine. Nobody can play tricks on my starship."
"There is no time. He has activated the Colossus."
Li Yao's voice was filled with desperation.
It was clearly visible in the Grand Illusionary Land that the head of the black-skeleton-like Colossus was slowly tilted back under the unstoppable cracking of the special agent of the Imperium. The 'bones' and the 'black feathers' at the throat were separated to two sides like petals, revealing the dark entrance of the user. The special agent of the Imperium jumped down agilely and crawled into the black-skeleton-like Colossus.
"He's gone in. Did you see that? The guy has really activated the Cloud Qin Gold Statue."
Han Baling's voice was mixed with intense disappointment. "Qi Zhongdao, the six major sects, if you don't take action and find the guy, we'll all die together. Let's die together."
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when a devastating sword aura darted at Emperor Phoenix, stirring the coldness in the air.
It was Yan Liren again.
Qi Zhongdao was still considering the big picture, but the Yuanying of the six major sects were still hesitating and calculating the possible gains and losses.
Some of them were even intimidated by Emperor Phoenix's proclamation that a family could be built or destroyed with a single thought. Some of them were even dreaming that they could get the Cloud Qin Gold Statues and the way to manipulate them if they were loyal to the court.
All in all, those people all had their own reasons for hesitation.
Yan Liren, however, was an out-and-out lunatic who was bold enough to cut the deities and gods into pieces when he activated his sword aura. Be it Han Baling, the dominator of the prairies, or Emperor Phoenix, the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, he would slay them without any hesitation.
Neither Emperor Phoenix's nor Han Baling's lengthy speech could affect his belief in the slightest. The only thing that could influence his attack was the target's weakness.
Right then, Emperor Phoenix finally revealed the most fatal weakness in Yan Liren's eyes.
Therefore, the world-shocking fourth sword was unsheathed, blinked, and blossomed.
"Ahhh!"
Emperor Phoenix did not expect that Yan Liren would be so crazy that he was bold enough to initiate an attack even though he did not gain any advantage from the head-on clash just now.
This time, he was truly caught unprepared. He even felt that the coldness inside the Crystal Suit was leaking into his body and breaking his bones.
Yan Liren's sword aura had reached such a high level that it could even pierce through the Crystal Suit and the light membrane.
Thankfully, the few imperial guards reacted in time. Enormous light shields overlapped before Emperor Phoenix's face.
After a few bam sounds, the two light shields were shattered into pieces by Yan Liren's sword aura. They turned into two brilliant sparks and vanished into thin air after a few blinks.
The power of the sword had reached such an extent.
The attack completely shattered the intense stalemate between the two parties.
"Do it now."
Qi Zhongdao glanced at Ba Xiaoyu and Master Bitter Cicada. He knew that the cowardly guys of the six major sects were unreliable. The two super Yuanying were the only ones who could be trusted.
The Heaven Flipping Seal revolved in midair. The brilliance it emitted turned from silver to dark gold. Cracking noises were echoing in the air.
The imperial guards all seemed to be mired in an invisible swamp. Their movements were immediately slowed down. It was obvious that Qi Zhongdao had imposed dozens of times more pressure on them.
"Do it now!"
Han Baling grinned hideously and roared at Qi Changsheng and Wan Mingzhu, too. They were lawless bandits in the first place, and they had no concerns at all. All kinds of lethal magical equipment darted toward Emperor Phoenix and the imperial guards of the Fiery Phoenix Clan in unpredictable brilliance.
Wan Mingzhu, covered by a few gold corpses, dashed toward the black-skeleton-like Colossus.
"This is terrible."
On the bridge, Li Yao sighed gloomily.
The locals of the Ancient Sages Sector did not know the first thing about strength. They did not know the formidability of the Crystal Suit at all.
Even though Emperor Phoenix's imperial guards were only in the beginning level of Yuanying, or even in the Jin Dan stage, it was still possible for them to unleash the most terrifying damage under the crazy enhancement of the Crystal Suit.
As expected.
Weird ripples of light spread out on the surface of all the Crystal Suit, including Emperor Phoenix's Immortal Fire Phoenix Battlesuit, and they broke free from the stagnation of super gravity instantly.
