'Xue' er 'was silent for a moment. She continued massaging her master and echoed, "You're absolutely right, Master. Over the years, we've been competing with the spies of the Black Wind Fleet. Most of the people who have been instigated by the Imperium to defect are from the noble families that have been glorious for hundreds of years.
"I don't know what's wrong with those people. They shout the slogan of 'Cultivators' louder than anybody else. On the surface, they seem to be righteous and righteous, but when it comes to their dirty deeds, they are more outrageous than anybody else!
"Of course."
Jin Xinyue smiled casually. "The noble families are the most unreliable. It is a bloody, unbreakable truth in the history of civilizations and the countless changes of dynasties!
"The ordinary people and the low-level Cultivators cannot find an opportunity to join the Imperium even if they are determined to do so.
"Ding Ling Dong's Patriots Front, the Glorious Sunlight Group that my master left behind, and the Double Dragons Union in the Tian Yuan Realm, are all new forces that have been growing up together with the birth and development of the New Federation. Their interests are bound to the New Federation. Naturally, they will fight for the Federation.
"The noble families that were deeply rooted in the era of the 'old Federation', on the other hand, are not necessarily the same. On one hand, they boast high independence and have long established 'mountains' that outsiders cannot easily pry into. They have become 'cancer' that lives on the body of the Federation. On the other hand, they have been corrupted for hundreds of years and cannot keep up with the development of the times. Under the strike of the new forces such as the Glorious Sunlight Group, the Double Dragons Union, and the Patriots Front, they are on the verge of collapse. Therefore, they have a strong motive to reverse the 'decline'. If the Federation and the Imperium are truly at war, and the Imperium puts too much pressure on us, who will defect to the Imperium's side first? Isn't the answer obvious?
"Too old to die is a thief. It's the same for people, sects, and groups. Those major sects are too old to keep up with the development of the new Federation. It's time for them to die. It's time for them to give their living space to new sects, new experts, and new groups!
"If you don't want to die, you're a thief, a national thief! Look at what they have done in secret in the past hundred years. I don't believe that they are real Cultivators who will protect the Federation with their lives! What happened today only confirmed my judgment.
"So …"
Jin Xinyue grabbed Xue 'er's hand and turned around to look at her disciple. "After a country has developed for a long time, there will always be some dark corners where the sunlight can't reach. In these corners, there will be many snakes, insects, and filthy things. Now, let's clean up the darkness and filth and leave behind a clean and new Federation!
"In the meantime, the demon race will rise again in the new Federation, a new Federation that is absolutely open and aboveboard!"
When 'rise of the demon race' was mentioned, Xue 'er, the demon girl who had been calm a moment ago, could not help but have sparks beaming out of her clear eyes.
A hundred years. It had been a hundred years!
According to the deduction of Jin Tuyi, the greatest strategist of the demon race, it was time for the Red Tide Plan to come to an end. It was time for the demon race to be completely reborn and rise again!
Xue 'er was breathing fast. Two swirls of redness were spreading out on her cheeks that seemed to have been nurtured underground for a long time.
Jin Xinyue read the voice in her disciple's heart. She smiled confidently.
An hour ago, she had shouted the slogan of the Immortal Cultivators together with the three leaders of the Cultivators in another secret chamber. They had shouted, 'Long live the Immortal Cultivators! Long live the Imperium of True Human Beings!'
But both Jin Xinyue and the three leaders were well aware that none of them truly believed in the slogan.
'Long live the Immortal Cultivators! Long live the Imperium of True Human Beings!' For them, the slogan was nothing more than a yawn and a fart that could be exchanged for money.
However, at this moment, when Jin Xinyue and Xue 'er whispered to each other and almost sang another slogan that had been sealed for a hundred years, the pair of master and disciple understood it deeply and decided to carry out their mission with their lives.
"Destruction, rebirth, immortality!"
"Destruction! Rebirth! Immortality! "
It was the slogan that almost a million demons roared at the same time when Jin Tuyi led the Coalition Army of Demons to march at the capital city of the Xing Yao Federation through the Eye of Blood Demon more than a hundred years ago.
To this day, however harmonious and peaceful they were, countless demons still could not completely erase the slogan, the belief, and the belief from the deepest part of their bones!
"Alright. Open the door now."
Jin Xinyue held her disciple's arm and transmitted a stream of gentle spiritual energy into her body, calming down her blood that was almost boiling. She smiled.
Biting her lips softly, Xue 'er was not entirely freed from her nervousness and excitement yet. She took two deep breaths in a row before she stepped aside and pressed the embossment of the underground museum softly.
The light beam where the list of the deceased miners was displayed immediately disappeared.
On the seemingly empty wall behind the light beam, blood-red spiritual stripes were slowly popping up, extending and interweaving into a brand-new teleportation array.
It was the third secret teleportation array that led to the third underground secret base.
None of the secret chambers had secret tunnels or entrances that led to the outside world. They could only be accessed through teleportation arrays. Also, most of the teleportation arrays were point-to-point, one-way.
It meant that, if somebody wanted to reach the real central secret chamber, they would have to discover the first secret chamber, find all the teleportation arrays in the secret chamber, crack the activation patterns of the teleportation arrays, and find the coordinates of the destination. Then, they would jump to the second secret chamber and repeat the process. Finally, they would reach the final destination.
The people and facilities in the central secret chamber gave Jin Xinyue enough reason to be so cautious.
"Shua!"
Enshrouded in redness, she vanished from the underground museum and appeared at the top of a staircase that led downward.
The narrow staircase barely allowed any heavy war machine to pass through. Now and then, enormous grooves would appear on the two sides of the staircase, in which a demon warrior was sitting.
In the building of the Ministry of Development in the downtown area, the members of the Dim Moon Squad in the public office of the 'Dim Moon Fund' were already ferocious enough.
But the demon warriors here were ten times more intimidating and ferocious than the members of the Dim Moon Squad!
"President!"
When Jin Xinyue walked down the stairs, the tough demons all bowed at her respectfully. Many of them did not disguise the brilliance of respect and admiration in their eyes at all.
At the end of the zigzagging staircase, an alloy gate almost ten meters thick slid into the rocks without a sound.
Behind the alloy gate, what appeared in front of Jin Xinyue's eyes was an underground crystal processor and communication center.
The crystal processors here had combined the features of the technology of spiritual energy and the biochemical technology. They seemed to have grown countless tumors and parasites on the super mainframe crystal processors, and countless crystal processors and computational chips had been installed inside the internal organs of an enormous beast.
Dozens of specialists of crystal processors and biochemical brains were working hard among the crystal cables and artificial nerve ropes that were as thick as boas.
The whole significance of their secret work below the ground day and night was to deceive and bypass the 'grand-unified Spiritual Nexus' of the Federation. By doing so, Jin Xinyue could both reach out to a certain place in the universe outside of the Federation through an absolutely inconspicuous route and launch a fatal strike on the grand-unified Spiritual Nexus when necessary.
It was not an easy job.
However, if the most brilliant specialists of the Federation were asked to dismantle the crystal processors here, they would discover a lot of computational chips and analysis units that did not belong to the style of the Federation and were far more advanced than the current crystal processor technology of the Federation.
They were all gifts from the Imperium.
The war had begun a long time ago.
Right now, it was the time for a final battle!
"Governor Jin, you're here."
A short man, who seemed to be rather plain and short, greeted her. However, his attitude toward Jin Xinyue was subtly different from other people's, and he addressed Jin Xinyue rather weirdly, too.
Jin Xinyue glanced at the short man and said casually, "All I want is to keep myself alive and give my people a place to live. I don't know whether or not you will kick me to the curb after I've outlived my usefulness. Save the 'governor'!"
The short man chuckled even more coquettishly than Jin Xinyue's. He shrugged and said, "Rest assured, Governor Jin. The Imperium values credibility above all else. My commander will not kill the goose that lays golden eggs for the goose that lays golden eggs, either!
"We have come from the center of the cosmos after all. It is impossible for us to live at the edge of the cosmos forever. Marching back to the center of the cosmos and reclaiming our homeland and pride is the ultimate goal of the Black Wind Fleet.
"What we want is nothing more than elite warriors, sufficient resources, and perhaps in-depth technical exchanges with each other. Nothing more.
"When the Black Wind Fleet is truly rested in this place and marched back to the center of the cosmos, won't the seven Sectors here be managed by the most loyal and reliable people?
"As long as Governor Jin is as wise and loyal as you are right now, why do we need to consider a second 'agent'?
"By then, Governor Jin will be responsible for providing us with incessant Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, mother lodes, and human resources in the seven Sectors, and we will return to the center of the cosmos and take back everything! We are in the court, and you are at the edge of the cosmos. We will both benefit from each other. Why do we need to kill a donkey when the tide rises?
"Therefore, rest assured, Governor Jin. We will not mistreat our friends!"
Jin Xinyue stared at the short man thoughtfully. "I hope so. Has the secret super-remote communication line been set up?"
"It has."
The short man smiled. "It can be activated at any time. With the technology of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus of the Federation right now, it will be impossible for us to intercept or even detect it in a couple of days."
"Alright."
With her hands behind her back, Jin Xinyue took a deep breath, with the most subtle redness spreading out of her eyes. "Let me talk to your commander directly!"
