Like a ghost, Long Yangjun crawled into Li Yao's cabin without a sound and closed the door with her heel.
Goosebumps were popping up all over Li Yao's body. His nerves and muscles were all prepared for a battle.
"Why? You seem to be very wary of me. You are even more cautious than you were when you met the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators. Is it necessary?"
Long Yangjun glanced at him and chuckled. "I thought that we were on the same side anyway."
"It is exactly because we are on the same side that I have to be even more cautious. At the very least, I don't need to worry that the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators will stab me in the back!"
Li Yao said stiffly, "Why are you here? Are you not scared that other people will be suspicious?"
"I suddenly learned the vastness of the deities' realm and the boundless universe. What's there to be suspicious about?" Long Yangjun said with a smile.
"Besides, before I came to you, I went to Han Baling, Qi Changsheng, Wan Mingzhu, and the rest of them first. We are the 'Four Rapscallions', after all. Naturally, we have a lot to talk about. I told them that your stance is a bit ambiguous and that you are not necessarily on the Great Qian Dynasty's side. If we try to win you over, it is very likely that you will join the 'Four Rapscallions'. So, it is perfectly reasonable that I am here to talk to you!"
Li Yao was relieved. Still frowning, he lowered his voice and asked, "What are you here for exactly? Are you here to ask the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators why they asked me to come?"
"They have already made the matter public. The two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators are willing to publicize the Colossi and the ways to use them. They are indeed very bold! Their breadth of mind and courage alone are not something that regular Yuanying can boast! No wonder they were the only two of them who could enter the Divinity Transformation Stage a hundred years ago when there were so many heroes of their time! "
Long Yangjun paused for a moment. Her eyes brushed Li Yao up and down like a brush that had been dipped in seasoning. Finally, she said, "I'm here because I suddenly thought of something and wanted to remind you of it."
Li Yao became even more vigilant. "What are you thinking of?"
"It suddenly occurred to me that Heiye Lan was a female spy of the Imperium of True Human Beings. She tried her best to collect tremendous resources and build a 'sacrificial altar' so that she could reach out to the Black Wind Fleet, her nest. It's a pity that her efforts were in vain, and she was captured by us!"
"Then, if the spies of other forces in space are lurking in the Ancient Sages Sector right now, do they have a piece of large magical equipment similar to the 'sacrificial altar' that allows them to contact their hometown and summon the reinforcements from their hometown to this Sector?"
"If we get along very well with Heiye Lan here, and we reach an agreement on all the terms and intend to cooperate with the Imperium of True Human Beings, only for a large fleet of a second space force to suddenly pop up right above our heads, wouldn't we all be a joke?"
"Master Spiritual Vulture, don't you agree?"
Long Yangjun smiled brilliantly.
She was now dressed as a man, looking like a very handsome middle-aged scholar.
However, compared to a real Confucian scholar, he lacked some heroic spirit and had a little more "charm".
Perhaps, the eunuchs who served the emperor in the royal palace should look exactly like that.
Every hair on the back of Li Yao's head was standing up. His eyes narrowed into two sabers, and his voice turned both sharp and dangerous as he asked, one word after another, "What are you trying to say exactly, 'Lord Wang'?"
Both of them had secrets in each other's hands. Li Yao did not believe that Long Yangjun would be bold enough to expose his big secret.
Even if they did break up, Li Yao would still have a chance to offer a price on behalf of the Federation. Long Yangjun, as a wretched transvestite from the prehistoric era, would definitely not have a good ending!
"Nothing. As I said, I'm just reminding you not to do anything stupid, Master Spiritual Vulture. Even if you do have a piece of magical equipment similar to the 'sacrificial altar', you'd better not act recklessly. Don't think that your hometown — well, it's probably not the Alliance of the Holy Covenant but the Xing Yao Federation, right? You don't look like a heartless, selfless' demi-human 'to me, do you? "
"Don't send messages to your hometown, because firstly, I will be watching you closely and will not allow you to do so. Secondly, doing so will not do any good for you or the force behind you!" Li Yao smiled and said, "Don't send messages to your hometown, because firstly, I will keep an eye on you and will not allow you to do so. Secondly, doing so will not benefit you or the force behind you!
Li Yao's eyes were focused and glittering like sabers. "Are you going to surrender to the Imperium?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet, but why not?"
Long Yangjun said unconcernedly. "The Alliance of the Holy Covenant, which worships the Pangu, is naturally my greatest enemy. The Imperium and the Federation both seem to worship the Nuwa Clan. Even if I am really a successor of Nuwa, does it matter whether I choose the Federation or the Imperium?"
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao asked again, "Why do you say that sending messages to my hometown won't do me any good?"
"It's very simple."
Looking at her long, slender fingers, Long Yangjun said unhurriedly, "What can you possibly achieve by sending messages to your hometown? The best you can do is to summon the powerful forces from your hometown and force the natives of the Ancient Sages Sector to lower their heads with their unparalleled strength, like what Heiye Lan did, right?
"However, after witnessing the demeanor of the extraordinary people such as Meng Chixin, Han Baling, and Qi Zhongdao, have you ever considered one question? Even if you can really summon a powerful fleet, and we are very likely to choose to surrender after judging the situation, will such a surrender be sincere? Are you really bold enough to accept our surrender? "
Li Yao was dazed and deep in thought.
Long Yangjun chuckled. "Didn't you say that, when I just entered the room, 'our own people' who may stab you in the back at any moment are much scarier than the enemies who are out in the open? Do you want to turn the natives of the Ancient Sages Sector like us into such dangerous' own people '?
"Let's not talk about the super experts such as Meng Chixin, Han Baling, and Qi Zhongdao. Let's just talk about 'Emperor Phoenix', who is the most inexperienced of all. Do you really think that the kid will yield to your strength and abandon the glory of the 'emperor' to serve you wholeheartedly?
"Besides, I don't think that your troops are very strong. At the very least, they are no stronger than the Imperium's. If we can surrender once today because of your overwhelming strength, who knows whether or not we can surrender a second time when the Black Wind Fleet shows up tomorrow because of their even greater strength?
"Therefore, even if you can summon the fleet from your hometown, what's the use of it? You will only be pushing us to the Imperium's side for nothing! "
Li Yao's eyelids were cramping nonstop. "You don't need to trick me. It's meaningless. We are in the same boat right now!"
"Exactly. That's why I'm here to remind you kindly," Long Yangjun said.
Long Yangjun said, "Unless the other ten super experts besides us all stand on the Star Glory Federation's side 'sincerely', our surrender will be absolutely meaningless!"
Li Yao sniffed and said, "Sincerely? Why are you talking about sincerity with a bunch of Yuanying and Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators? How are you going to do it in such a hurry? "
"I can figure out a way. I'll help you," Long Yangjun said with deep eyes.
"As long as you don't forget your promise and remember that the Nuwa warship is mine, you will try your best to repair and maneuver the warship for me after everything is done!"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and nodded heavily. "Alright. I can still make that decision. The warship is indeed yours. As long as you and I cooperate, we will help you repair it and fill it with manpower so that you can sail to the end of the universe! However, what are you going to do after the warship is repaired? "
"I haven't thought of anything yet."
Long Yangjun sighed softly. "However, one day, I will remember my real destiny.
"Remember your promise. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the Imperium of True Human Beings was too strong and might steal my warship through whatever means possible, I would never have chosen to cooperate with a seemingly lackluster country at the border of the Imperium of True Human Beings.
"If you think that I am weak and gullible because I am all by myself, hehe. Feel free to give it a try."
Long Yangjun's smile made Li Yao shudder. He hurried to shake his head and said, "Of course, we will honor our promise. However, what are you going to do to make the other ten super experts' sincerely '?"
"Three days later, when everyone gathers again, you will naturally know."
Long Yangjun's smile was even more mysterious. She said softly, "However, it will depend on the situation of the Xing Yao Federation. If the Xing Yao Federation is truly a pile of mud that cannot be helped, I will not be able to change the situation despite my extraordinary abilities!"
"Wait!"
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "To this moment, I still haven't admitted that I am from the Xing Yao Federation!"
"Ha. That's even better!"
With mockery beaming out of her eyes, Long Yangjun grimaced. "If you are not related to the Xing Yao Federation at all, you will certainly not object to my proposal in the meeting that will decide the fate of the Ancient Sages Sector in three days!"
Long Yangjun left as unprepared as she was when she burst in.
Li Yao was dazed for a long time in the air. He took a long breath and rubbed his rigid face hard.
None of the ten Yuanying experts and two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were easy to deal with!
There were three days to go.
During the three days, everybody would study everything that Heiye Lan had told them. They would have a basic understanding of the major forces in the sea of stars and the history of the civilization of mankind.
Then, they would make a judgment on the future of the Ancient Sages Sector and even the future of the Xing Yao Federation, the Imperium of True Human Beings, and the entire universe!
What conclusion would they reach exactly?
Would they choose to surrender to the Imperium of True Human Beings immediately? Would they attack the Xing Yao Federation together with the Black Wind Fleet?
What was Long Yangjun up to? Had the elite warrior of the Nuwa Clan, who had been reincarnated after hundreds of thousands of years, really forgotten her entire destiny?
