Long Yangjun and Li Yao looked at each other, finding it hard to believe that the Xing Yao Federation's defense against the outside world would be so weak that people could walk in without knowing it. Looking at each other, Long Yangjun asked suspiciously, "How is it possible? I'm told that the 'Secret Sword Bureau' of the Xing Yao Federation is omnipresent, isn't it?"
"Of course, the Secret Sword Bureau is everywhere. But as I said, your identities are 'half legal'. Naturally, you will not be investigated!"
Screwhead said something shocking. "It is sort of a half-open secret within the Xing Yao Federation. The Federation needs the talents, technology, and techniques on Firefly, but the 'rightful government of the Star Ocean Republic' is unwilling to merge with the Federation for the time being. Naturally, the Federation is trying everything possible to attract the talents on Firefly and start a 'competition of talents'!
"Whatever your position is on Firefly, you must know some of the secrets from the center of the cosmos, right? Perhaps the techniques, technologies, and magical equipment that are common in your eyes are what the Xing Yao Federation is in dire need of. They can fill the critical gaps in certain important fields of the Federation!
"Right now, a great war is coming. The Federation pays more attention to the reserve of talents than anything else. You are very likely to be the extraordinary talents that the Xing Yao Federation has been yearning for day and night. If you are willing to join the Federation, the government of the Federation will be more than happy to welcome you. Why would they set up so many obstacles?"
Long Yangjun blinked and pretended to be hesitant. "But our government …"
"The 'rightful government of the Star Ocean Republic' naturally detests such migration and brain drain. The two parties have negotiated many times and agreed that such behavior is absolutely forbidden. That's why I said that it is' half legal '!"
Screwhead bashed his chest and promised, "Officially, the government of the Federation will never admit that it is stealing talents from the 'rightful government of the Star Ocean Republic'. Therefore, it is impossible for you to migrate to the Federation through regular channels. Even if you do, it is possible that you will be repatriated.
"However, in secret, a lot of influential sects in the Xing Yao Federation are working actively. They can prepare flawless new identities for you and help you change your appearance so that you can join the Federation!
"Those sects are all desperate for talents from Firefly. If you all have certain skills and secrets that are not known to the public, you will definitely be able to migrate to the Federation and live a comfortable new life under their influence. Won't it be much better than staying on the cold, dark, precarious Firefly?"
Screwhead's words speechless, everybody was silent. they were deep in deep thought.
It appeared that, although the rightful government of the Star Ocean Republic and the Xing Yao Federation were both civilizations of Cultivators who were faced with such a great enemy as the Imperium of True Human Beings together, the relationship between them was far from harmonious!
After receiving an affirmative response, she pretended to be hesitant again and said to Screwhead, "You — you don't need to know where we're from. We haven't decided whether or not we should go to the federation yet. All in all, let's stay in Fish Dragon City for a few days and have some fun!" Screwhead nodded and said, "You don't need to know where we are from. We haven't decided if we should go to the federation yet.
While talking, she took out a crystal coin that was surrounded by purple brightness and tossed it to him.
Screwhead caught the coin and knocked it on his iron skull. The brightness of his four crystal cameras was immediately doubled. With a smile, he said, "Alright. Such an important issue should indeed be observed more before making a decision. There is tremendous information about the Federation in Fish Dragon City. I guarantee that you will have a deep understanding of the Xing Yao Federation after you read it. It won't be too late for you to decide what you are going to do by then!"
"Wait, Screwhead."
Li Yao interjected. "When we were on Firefly, we were told that the Dragon Snake Space Zone was not in a good relationship with the Xing Yao Federation. Why do I feel that it doesn't seem to be the case here?"
"Ha!"
Screwhead opened his hands and said unconcernedly, "Whether the relationship is good or bad is something that the big shots and rich people above should worry about. Bosses, do I look like a rich man to you?
"In the Dragon Snake Space Zone, most of the people here are ordinary people and low-level Cultivators like me. We have to try our best to survive. Who has the time to worry about the relationship between the Dragon Snake Space Zone and the Federation?
"After all, there is money to be made and food to be fed. Who cares whether the Federation is the Federation or the Imperium?
"Besides, my hometown is the Nether World Sector. The Nether World Sector was one of the Sectors that joined the Federation relatively early. We did not have a real war like the Uranian Ring Sector did. What happened decades ago was just a trivial matter. There is no irreconcilable grudge between us. Who cares about that?
"Let's cut the chatter. Where do you want to go first, bosses? Do you want to have dinner first or find a hotel first? Or do you have any special hobbies in casinos, arenas, or nightclubs?"
Screwhead rubbed his hands hard. Seeing that 'Sword Maniac' Yan Liren, 'Qi Changsheng' Qi Changsheng, 'Ghost Qin' Han Baling, and the rest of them were all staring at the most splendid, spectacular light beam in the sky, dwelling in the astounding picture that was transmitted from the light beam. He could not help but smile and say, "This is the seventh installment of the 'Legends of the Young Fire God', which is about Wu Mayan's adventures on Iron Plateau when he was young. Although the plot is not very fresh, the 'immersive light phantom' is vastly different from the common illusions. The most awesome thing about it is that the audience can be 'immersed' in the perspective, mood, and even thinking of any character in the movie. They will experience a thrilling, exciting adventure from different perspectives and identities! How about it? Do you want to have a try? "
"Wu Mayan …"
Looking at Li Yao, Long Yangjun asked Screwhead, "Isn't he the first disciple of 'Vulture Li Yao'?"
"Exactly!"
Screwhead smashed his fists and said excitedly, "He's the monstrous qi-trainer who claims to have broken through the thousandth level of the Refinement Stage and is not scared of the Yuanying experts!"
"The thousandth level of the Refinement Stage?"
Qi Zhongdao, Yan Liren, Han Baling, Qi Changsheng … All the Yuanying experts almost vomited their breakfast.
Li Yao coughed softly. His face turned weird, too.
Blinking her eyes, Long Yangjun asked suspiciously, "If Wu Mayan's illusions are available, why aren't there any based on 'Vulture Li Yao'?"
"There are!"
Screwhead replied, "More than a hundred and twenty 'True Vulture' movies have been made. As for the rumors, rumors, and jokes, there are almost a thousand of them. Even the stories about Li Yao's childhood in the magical equipment graveyard have been made in dozens of movies. The audience must've been tired of them decades ago. Who dares to spend money on such garbage right now? However, if you would like to admire the demeanor of the 'dominator of three Sectors', I can take you to some of the nostalgic theaters. I guarantee that you won't see the same movie for a year! "
Even the resourceful Long Yangjun was somewhat dazzled by the glittering torrents of information in midair. She did not know where she should start.
Right then, dozens of pictures among the hundreds of enormous light beams suddenly flashed and jumped to the same picture.
In the image, at a crowded gathering, a white-haired old man with an extraordinary aura was loudly saying something to the tens of thousands of excited people. He even bowed deeply to the crowd, looking very apologetic.
"Breaking news!"
Screwhead screamed miserably, holding his head. "'Su Chenzhou', the candidate of the Nine Sects Alliance, has officially admitted his failure. He will withdraw from the election for the Supreme Speaker of the Xing Yao Federation. He is also begging his supporters to support the venomous witch Jin Xinyue! "The Nine Sects Alliance will reach a strategic cooperation with Skyfire and become the greatest force in parliament! "It's over. It's really over this time. Even the well-respected Su Chenzhou has surrendered. The election has turned from a competition of heroes into a competition of two heroes. Jin Xinyue is very likely to be elected. This is truly the end of the world!"
As he expected, soon after Su Chenzhou, the charismatic candidate of the Nine Sects Alliance, announced his withdrawal from the election, dozens of pictures flashed and were switched to a venue that was larger in scale and even more intimidating.
At the center of the venue, surrounded and cheered by billions of supporters, Jin Xinyue was standing quietly like a goddess in the sky without any interference.
Looking at the disciple on the light beam, Li Yao had a lot of mixed feelings.
A hundred years ago, Jin Xinyue already boasted the Cultivation of a 'demon king' that was equivalent to the Core Formation Stage. The passage of a hundred years did not leave any trace on her face, but her watery eyes were even deeper and deeper than before.
She wore a moon-white sackcloth robe, and she seemed to be quiet, noble, and untainted by even a speck of dust. She was natural and unrestrained, awe-inspiring, and inviolable.
Perhaps because the Imperium of True Human Beings was about to march to the border and the new Speaker of the Federation had to show her toughness, she had added a golden belt outside of her white robe. A longsword with the emblem of the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars was hanging on her waist, further highlighting her graceful body and her soul-stirring long legs.
Jin Xinyue pressed the longsword with one hand and extended the other hand to the crowd. A sincere smile popped up on her face.
Li Yao was in a trance for a moment. He seemed to see the shadow of another person in the smile.
Jin Tuyi was the most dreadful opponent that Li Yao had ever encountered in his life. It was even safe to say that he was the only opponent that he had not completely defeated yet!
Jin Tuyi, your 'Red Tide Plan' is close to success after all!
Li Yao sighed with mixed feelings in his heart. A hundred years after the Blood Demon Sector announced its defeat, your daughter Jin Xinyue has finally fulfilled the promise that she made to you, to me, and to herself in the past. She is standing on the stage of the election for the Speaker of the Federation and has defeated almost all the strong enemies. She is only one step away from the throne of the leader of the three Sectors … no, the seven Sectors!
"However, the plan a hundred years ago is about to become a reality smoothly. Jin Xinyue should be the best candidate to lead the Xing Yao Federation against the Imperium of True Human Beings. Why do I still feel uneasy?"
The mental devil crawled out of the depths of his brain. "Are you vaguely worried that something will go wrong at the critical moment like every other time?"
"Yes," Li Yao said. "Based on our previous adventures, it is definitely not easy for Jin Xinyue to be elected as the Speaker of the Federation! Even if she can make it to the end smoothly, a great scheme that is soul-stirring, bizarre, and unpredictable that may overturn the entire Federation is bound to happen!
"However, it doesn't matter. Thankfully, we have returned in time again!
"Hehe. If the scheme this time is the same as the schemes in the Flying Star Sector, the Blood Demon Sector, and the Tian Yuan Realm, the mastermind behind the scheme is already obvious!
"Jin Xinyue won't betray me and the Federation. She is loyal!
"Then, no matter how transcendent, benevolent, and sanctimonious her competitor appears to be, who is loyal to the country on the surface and who has sacrificed everything for the Federation … it is all an illusion. The guy must be a traitor and the mastermind behind the scheme!
"It's like Xiao Xuance in the Flying Star Sector, Elder Nether Spring in the Blood Demon Sector, and Lu Zui and Zhou Hengdao in the Tian Yuan Realm. The more powerful a person is, the more damage they will cause!"
"Fair enough," the mental devil agreed.
Li Yao was quite confident. He smiled casually and asked the guide, "Screwhead, you said just now that the election of the Federation has entered the phase of 'competition between two heroes'. So, there are only two candidates for the Speaker left, right? One of them is Jin Xinyue. Who is the other one? "
"The other one is' Blazing Tyrannosaur 'Ding Ling Dong," Screwhead replied. "Who else is qualified to compete with Jin Xinyue other than her?"
"…" Li Yao.
