"You are not a guard of the Godly Might Prison."
Lei Chenghu eyed Li Yao up and down. It was not a question but a certainty. "As it turns out, you are a rarely-seen battle-type expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage. In the entire Imperium of True Human Beings, few super warriors have your Cultivation. None of them are bold enough to break into the Godly Might Prison on their own and put themselves in the middle of thousands of enemies! But not only are you extraordinarily strong, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on your Crystal Suit are also invaluable. Even the top experts of the four Kurfürst families might not be able to equip it. So, who are you exactly, and what do you want me to do? "
"God of War" Lei Chenghu had just walked on the tightrope of life and death, but he did not waste half a second on surprise, confusion, or fear. He simply cut to the critical part.
"My name is' Vulture Li Yao '. It is true that I have not been exposed to the stage of the entire Imperium before the battle!"
Due to the lack of time, Li Yao did not have the time to waste on Lei Chenghu. "I am the queen's secret guard. Knowing that Marquis Liaohai is in prison, I am here to rescue Marquis Liaohai at the queen's command!"
"Her Grace … Li Linghai?"
Lei Chenghu's eyes suddenly shined, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his head. He said coldly, "It's true that when a country is about to perish, a monster is bound to appear. Now that the Imperium of True Human Beings is on its last legs, all kinds of monsters are jumping out to stir trouble! Before, I barely paid attention to the people in the royal palace. I did not know that our queen, who never showed herself, had raised such an excellent battle-type expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage in secret. She also knew that I was imprisoned here and asked you to sneak in without alarming anyone … Such immense strength couldn't have been accumulated without a hundred years of hard work. Li Linghai, you truly have a great plan! "
"Of course, it was not the queen's own strength. There were countless real Immortal Cultivators, patriots, and insightful people just like Marquis Liaohai, who hated the corruption of politics and the darkness of society. That was the only way to rescue Marquis Liaohai if they all gathered together!"
Li Yao said solemnly, "Of course, Marquis Liaohai can also understand that the opposers of the four Kurfürst families have all joined hands, hoping to destroy the Council of Elders that is controlled by the noble families and build a new Imperium!
"The incident of the Blood Oath Alliance was obviously a trick for the noble families to eliminate the dissidents and divide the interests. However, they were bold enough to imprison and even murder Marquis Liaohai, hoping to swallow the entire Thunder Fleet. Such an insane behavior was beyond our expectations, too.
"However, now that the noble families have revealed their true intentions, we have to fight for the future of the Imperium with all our might! Right now, the queen has gathered with the people of the 'reformists' and is about to attack the Godly Might Prison. The purpose of the battle is to rescue Marquis Liaohai and ask Marquis Liaohai to return to the frontline to manage the situation and wave the bloodstained flag for the 'reformists'! "
Coldness beamed out of Lei Chenghu's eyes as he stared at Li Yao without blinking. "All the opposers of the four Kurfürst families have joined hands, hoping to carry out the reformists under the leadership of the queen, right?"
It was the sharpest look that Li Yao had ever received in his entire life. None of the people like Xiao Xuance, Bai Xinghe, or Lu Zui in the past could compare to it.
Although Lei Chenghu had lost one of his arms, suffered heavy wounds, and almost lost all his blood, the look could still dissect his skin, bones, and brain layer by layer, seeing through his real thoughts.
"That's right!"
Li Yao gnashed his teeth and said, "The queen believes that Marquis Liaohai is one of the few real patriots left of the Imperium right now, and you will certainly agree with the ideas of the reformists. In any case, the Imperium of True Human Beings cannot continue to be divided. If the 'Imperium of True Human Beings' is to continue to shine in infinite glory in the next ten thousand years, there must be a powerful central government as well as a highly-united, invincible, and invincible army of the Imperium!
"The purpose of the reformists is to gather the power that is scattered in the hands of the noble families and return it to His Majesty so that a powerful government can be realized. Who else can summon all the warriors at the center of the cosmos to establish a highly-united army of the Imperium with a sense of honor and destiny other than Marquis Liaohai?"
Lei Chenghu's eyes suddenly glittered.
It was like the dazzling spots of light that were triggered by the main gun of a starship before it roared.
An army of the Imperium that was truly united and had its own will driven by the sense of honor and destiny instead of the selfish interests of the nobles!
"Besides —"
Li Yao rubbed his hands and said, "I've heard of the awe-inspiring name of 'God of War' Lei Chenghu since I was a child. I almost grew up listening to Marquis Liaohai's name. It was exactly Marquis Liaohai's unparalleled accomplishments and integrity that prompted me to condense my belief and become a real, noble, and pure Immortal Cultivator. So, there is absolutely no doubt that I am your most loyal admirer. When I heard that Marquis Liaohai was imprisoned and possibly killed by a scoundrel, I was so thrilled that I couldn't hold it back for even half a second and had to rescue Marquis Liaohai!
"Marquis Liaohai, there is no time to hesitate. Come with me now. I have sensed that countless experts from the Godly Might Prison and the assassins of the Holy League are coming to this place incessantly. Perhaps, they will arrive in a few minutes. I have consumed too much spiritual energy just now, and my combat ability has dropped by at least 50%. There is no way that I can stop their attacks one after another!"
"M-Admirer?"
Lei Chenghu was rather stunned, as if he had never thought that an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage could be so shameless. But his train of thought was disrupted by Li Yao. Pondering for a long time, he finally said, "I can take action with you and even consider cooperating with the queen, but on one condition. At least for now, you must listen to my command!"
Li Yao was slightly dazed. "What do you want, Marquis Liaohai?"
"You snuck into the Godly Might Prison on your own?"
Lei Chenghu asked quickly, "When will Li Linghai launch an attack? How strong is she? Also, since you know that I am caged here, and you have snuck into this place without alarming anyone, you must have spies in the Godly Might Prison, right? Who is the spy of the highest level? Where do you want to take me to avoid the pursuers on both sides? "
"The fleet of the reformists will jump to the Mystic Ice Sector in twenty minutes and appear above the head of the Godly Might Fleet. Also, there are spies of the reformists in the Godly Might Fleet. It will not be a problem for us to take down the Godly Might Fleet thunderously."
Li Yao said, "It is true that I snuck in alone, but with the help of 'Luo Wenyao', the deputy warden of this place. The biggest problem right now is to help Marquis Liaohai survive the time when the reformists control the Godly Might Prison. Thankfully, the people of the Holy League are a great help to us. The Godly Might Prison is a mess right now. As long as I help Marquis Liaohai disguise yourself as a jailor or a dead body and hide in a random dark corner, with my keen senses, it will be very likely that we will be able to avoid the pursuit!"
"You bought off a deputy warden?"
Pondering for a moment, Lei Chenghu asked, "Is it possible to reach out to him?"
Li Yao frowned and said, "We have an emergency line that we can reach out to, but with the chaos in the Godly Might Prison right now, Deputy Warden Luo Wenyao must be in the control center together with the warden. Isn't it too risky to reach out to him?"
"It will be best if Deputy Warden Luo is really in the control center."
Lei Chenghu sneered, "Because our destination is exactly the highest command center of the entire Godly Might Prison!"
Li Yao was stunned. "What?"
"Vulture Li Yao, since you are an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage and have saved my life, there is no need to be so polite as' Marquis Liaohai '. Let's call each other' fellow Cultivator '."
Narrowing his eyes, Lei Chenghu said, one word after another, "You and I are both in the Divinity Transformation Stage, and we both have the dignity of the experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage. If you want 'God of War' Lei Chenghu to hide in a dark corner like a mouse and wait for somebody else to rescue me, you might as well kill me directly!
"I will never leave my fate in anybody's hands, neither my own fate nor the future of the Imperium!
"Besides, the so-called 'four experts of the Godly Might Prison' are all lying here right now, and the experts above their level are either controlling the situation in the riot cages or lunging at the place where I am caged. Then, who is defending the control center where the warden is? I can't feel more empty right now!
"It is needless to say that there is probably one of your spies in the control center, Deputy Warden Luo Wenyao!"
Although Lei Chenghu had lost an arm and his face was paler than a dead person's, the brilliance deep inside his eyes made him seem to be commanding an army of thousands in the sea of stars!
Li Yao couldn't help but blurt out, "What do you want exactly?"
"What do I want?"
Lei Chenghu smiled. "To occupy the entire Godly Might Prison, of course. Why? Are you willing to fight side by side with me, Fellow Cultivator Li?"
There were only two of them, one of whom had lost an arm and almost all the blood in his body, and they were trying to occupy the entire Godly Might Prison!
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao smiled, too. "Of course. General Lei's plan is indeed a hundred times better than mine. Assaulting the control center and occupying the Godly Might Prison is exactly what I want!"
Right then, one of the men below Lei Chenghu's feet slowly woke up.
It was exactly his eldest son, Lei Honghai, who had passed out in fear a moment ago.
"Dad …"
There was nothing but confusion in Lei Honghai's eyes at first. But when he saw that his father had lost an arm, was covered in blood, and looked like a ghost, he was so scared that he was no longer as intimidating as when he persuaded Lei Chenghu earlier. He simply stammered, "I — I was forced to do it. Save me, Dad. Save me!"
When he noticed that the killing intent in Lei Chenghu's eyes was condensed into lines, he immediately shuddered and changed his words from 'save me'. "Don't — don't kill me. I'm your own son. Dad, don't kill me!"
Lei Chenghu sniffed. Picking up a bloodstained vibration saber with the tip of his foot, he bellowed and stabbed at his son's head brutally!
Lei Honghai shrieked in fear. Even Li Yao was surprised. He did not know that Lei Chenghu was even more brutal than the rumors said.
However, the saber did not pierce through Lei Honghai's face but brushed past one side of his face and only cut off one of his ears.
"Don't say that I don't care about my son. Just fight your way out of the Godly Might Prison with the saber!"
