"Li Yao?"
The crowd was in an uproar. "Isn't he dead?"
Meng Chixin sneered. "Although what 'Fei Qi' said was not entirely true, Ding Ling Dong's toughness and Jin Xinyue's cunningness are unquestionable. Think about it. This' Vulture Li Yao ', who conquered such a marvelous woman as' Blazing Tyrannosaur 'Ding Ling Dong and raised such a brutal, cunning' Venomous Witch 'like Jin Xinyue. He also facilitated the transition from the' Old Federation 'to the' New Federation '. How dreadful was the man a hundred years ago?
"How can such an old monster be killed so easily? Not to mention that his death was so uncanny that everybody had different opinions about it.
"Hehe. In my opinion, there must be something wrong about Vulture's death! Perhaps, training in seclusion for a hundred years is the truth!
"As you all know, in the Ancient Sages Sector, many renowned sects and dynasties with a long history and deep heritage are often guarded by old monsters who are lurking in the dark with immeasurable strength other than their strength on the surface!
"These old monsters usually train in seclusion for hundreds of years. They usually don't show themselves easily, and they are too lazy to interfere with the trivial matters. They will only emerge from seclusion when the sect or the dynasty is at a moment of life and death to take charge of the situation and turn the tide!"
"Such old monsters are the last trump cards of a sect or a dynasty. They are out-and-out 'ancestors'!
"I believe that you are all well aware of the formidability of such ancestors."
"Exactly," Han Baling said.
Han Baling said, "Master, aren't you the 'ancestor' of the prairies?"
Meng Chixin smiled and said, "What kind of 'ancestor' am I? Young emperor, I remember that when the Thunderous Qian Hall unified the world, you ran into an 'ancestor' of the 'Great Yan Dynasty' of the previous dynasty and had a shocking battle, didn't you?"
"Yes."
Zhu Zongyou was somewhat moved. He swallowed and said, "A thousand years ago, when the Thunderous Qian Sect rose to prominence, the Great Yan Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse. The ancestors of the Thunderous Qian Sect led the coalition army of eighty-eight sects and conquered more than half of the country easily. Their vanguard approached the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty. Even the seven experts of the Great Yan Dynasty, known as the 'Seven Fire Gods', were heavily wounded or killed by us!
"Who would have thought that such an 'ancestor' would be hiding in the depths of the Great Yan Dynasty's Imperial Palace and launch a fierce counterattack with peerless strength!"
"In that battle, we lost three Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators, nine Yuanying Stage cultivators, and countless Core Formation Stage cultivators … We paid a terrible price before we finally killed the 'Great Yan Patriarch'!"
"It was the most dangerous battle in the history of the rise of the Great Qian Dynasty. At the most critical moment, the 'Elder of Great Yan' almost broke through the battle formation on his own, leading to the collapse of our army. If he had been slightly stronger, it would've been entirely possible! If the coalition army had collapsed, the world would've been in chaos for at least another few decades! "
"It was truly a battle where the sun and the moon changed colors and blood flowed like rivers. The high-level Cultivators who took part in the battle couldn't help but feel scared when they recalled it. It was said that when the 'Great Yan Patriarch' activated his most powerful technique, the entire sky above the capital seemed to be burning furiously. Therefore, when the history books of the previous dynasty were revised, the battle was named 'Sky Burning Battle'!"
The Battle of the Burning Sky was the most famous battle during the rise of the Great Qian Dynasty. Almost all the Cultivators present were familiar with it except for Li Yao. There was no need for Emperor Phoenix to introduce it to them. The most terrifying picture of destruction popped up in everyone's head.
Every expert from the Ancient Sages Sector was more or less anxious.
Meng Chixin sighed gloomily and said, "We didn't have the chance to witness the magnificence and terror of the 'elder' of the Great Yan Dynasty in person. However, this' Vulture Li Yao 'is also a terrifying being on the level of the' elder 'of the Xing Yao Federation. If he is not dead yet, and he has been training in seclusion for a hundred years, how strong is he right now?
"It must be noted that the 'Elder of Great Yan' was merely a brawny, simple-minded man. Yet, he was already able to deal heavy damage to the coalition army and almost prolong the prosperity of the Great Yan Dynasty for decades on his own. Now that 'Vulture Li Yao' has raised such a venomous witch as Jin Xinyue, his schemes and wisdom can't be simple!
"Do you think that such an old monster who is adept in both the pen and the sword and lurks in darkness is more worthy of our vigilance and wariness than Ding Ling Dong and Jin Xinyue, who are two dangerous persons on the surface?"
After hearing Meng Chixin's words, all the experts from the Ancient Sages Sector were deep in thought and nodded.
"You are quite right, Senior Meng. This' Monster Li 'is probably not dead yet. He is only training in seclusion!"
"Dreadful. Truly dreadful. 'Blazing Tyrannosaur' Ding Lingdang and 'Venomous Witch Jin Xinyue' were enough of a headache. I didn't expect that there would be an 'elder' hiding in the darkness! I'm afraid that this Monster Li will not show up easily. However, once he breaks out of seclusion and shows up in front of us, there will definitely be a great battle where the sun and the moon will be eclipsed! "
"Indeed. We have to pay more attention to this' Monster Li '. He is the greatest variable on our trip!"
"… Cough, cough." Li Yao sighed. "In fact, it is not necessarily that bad. Chances are that this Monster Li has died an abrupt death a long time ago, or maybe the rumors about him are just lies and lies. He might not be as tough as he is in person. There is no need for us to worry about such a great enemy, right?"
"Exactly!"
'Mother White Lotus' Wan Mingzhu slapped the table and shrieked, "I agree with you very much, Fellow Cultivator Spiritual Vulture! Didn't 'Fei Qi' say just now that there are not many Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators in the Xing Yao Federation? Besides, the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators in this era are often only adept at the techniques of a certain field and are not good at most other fields!
"The few Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators in the Federation right now are mostly in the admin-type or research-type fields. It is hard to say whether or not they can wield the combat ability of Jin Dan's level in a real battle! In comparison, we have two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators and ten high-level Yuanying. All of them are adept at the arts of battle!
"The twelve of us together can definitely do whatever we want in the Xing Yao Federation. Not only is Monster Li probably dead an abrupt death a long time ago, but even if he is still alive and shows up in front of us, so what? The twelve of us can still pluck all the hair on the old monster's body and make him a real vulture! Why do we have to boost other people's morale and diminish our own? Fellow Cultivator Spiritual Vulture, that's what you're thinking, isn't it? "
Li Yao: "… Yes!"
"Alright."
Long Yangjun really felt like laughing. She rubbed her cheeks hard to hold back her laughter and concluded, "All of you do have a point, fellow Cultivators. However, we don't know much about the Xing Yao Federation or this … 'Monster Li' right now. It is meaningless to keep talking here. Let's go to Fish Dragon City to collect more intelligence, assimilate into the new world, and find a perfect false identity before we sneak into the Federation!"
Long Yangjun's proposal was approved by everybody.
The meeting was about to be adjourned when Heiye Lan knocked on the door.
"The examination on 'Fei Qi's swordfish-like assault warship has been completed. The operation mode of the starship is similar to that of the starships of the Imperium. We will be able to use it after a brief adaptation," Heiye Lan said respectfully.
Heiye Lan said to everybody respectfully. "Also, this starship is a small, rapid attack starship that requires very few hands to operate. If we are merely sailing in the Dragon Snake Space Zone on a regular basis, the thirteen of us are more than enough to handle it.
What the experts of the twelve Ancient Gods Sector had told Heiye Lan was that they were going to sneak into the Federation, collect intelligence, and cooperate with the fleet of the Imperium.
With such an excuse, they had won the cooperation of the female warriors of the Imperium.
Also, the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators had set up a lot of barriers inside Heiye Lan's head and inside her body. Li Yao had even crafted almost ten shackles that were disguised as jewelry and tied them up Heiye Lan.
Heiye Lan's every move had been closely monitored by them. They were not worried that the female warrior of the Imperium would do anything malicious behind their backs.
"Okay."
Li Yao nodded. Over the past six months, Heiye Lan had been maintaining the Colossi and the starships as his assistant. The surveillance magical equipment on Heiye Lan's body had to be manipulated by him, too. Therefore, everybody had entrusted Heiye Lan to him. She was sort of his' little tail '.
Li Yao said to Heiye Lan, "Got it. Capture a few crew members in key posts later and interrogate them for the specific operations of the swordfish-like assault warship. Then, move the important facilities on Weary Tooth, including the units dismantled from the Nuwa warship, to the swordfish-like assault warship.
"We will try to set off for Fish Dragon City in three days!"
"What are you waiting for? Go now!"
After hesitating for a long time, Heiye Lan gritted her teeth and summoned her courage. "I have something very important to say to Master Spiritual Vulture and seniors here!"
"Is that so?"
Li Yao was slightly dazed. "What is it?"
"About what Fei Qi said just now and the Uranian Ring civilization, I hope that you will not take it to heart, Master Spiritual Vulture and seniors here," Heiye Lan said solemnly.
"Scumbags like Fei Qi are not real Immortal Cultivators at all," Heiye Lan said solemnly. "The corrupt system of the Uranian Ring civilization is completely different from the true path of immortality that the Imperium of True Human Beings practices, too!
"I know that Master Spiritual Vulture and seniors here must've despised Fei Qi. Perhaps, you have even misunderstood the great name of 'Immortal Cultivator'. I must explain it to you clearly!"
