Of course, Ji Sicheng also wanted to know why. He wanted to know why Tian Xiu Zhu and Fang Shengyu, who had been tempering their temperaments for nearly half a century, were so eager and passionate.
They were all members of the Hibernation Team. Back then, because of the Sword Emperor's order, so many Semi-Emperors had been dormant in the secret realm for a total of fifty-one years.
In these 51 years, they had been cultivating in seclusion to resist the backlash of their Dao injuries. No matter how lively and active they were, they had been completely ground into stone after such a long period of seclusion without seeing the light of day.
Ji Sicheng could say without hesitation that with their current state of mind and willpower, there were not many things in the world that could move them and make them extremely excited or even crazy.
Therefore, he was very clear that something that could make Tian Xiu Zhu and Fang Shengyu so excited and constantly remind them was definitely not ordinary!
"That's right, but without the Sword Emperor's order, none of us can rashly cancel the Hibernation Team's mission. You can't, and neither can I."
Ji Sicheng was still making his last stand.
The Sword Emperor had given them the task of guarding the capital and supervising the Hibernation Awakening Plan. It was not for them to be so willful and reckless.
In fact.
If not for the fact that more than half of the team members in the secret realm were already in a state of exhaustion, Ji Sicheng would not have easily agreed to let Yang Fan enter the secret realm, even if he knew that Yang Fan had the ability to cure the backlash of his Dao injuries.
"Then, have you ever thought about what it would mean for the Human Federation if there was a chance to remove the backlash of his Dao injuries and let all the members' cultivation improve greatly, or even directly break through to the True Emperor Realm?!"
"The Sword Emperor's original intention when he formulated the Hibernation Awakening Plan was to take people by surprise and counteract the invasion of the Demon Clan. However, if we all have the chance to reach the True Emperor Realm and let the Human Clan have ten or twenty True Emperors, what do you think the Sword Emperor will choose?"
Li Miaocai stared at Ji Sicheng and argued strongly.
None of them wanted to go against the Sword Emperor's order. However, the current situation was very different from before.
The three human sovereigns and the five beast sovereigns were all in closed-door cultivation. If they could break the curse and become true sovereigns, the situation between the human race and the beast race would be completely reversed.
At that time, the so-called Hibernation Plan would have no meaning to exist. Even if the Lord Sword Emperor personally came, he would absolutely not punish them!
"I'm still going to say the same thing. Wait until Yang Fan returns to the capital city to treat your Dao injuries. If you let everyone out of the Arcane Realm now, it will only attract the attention and vigilance of the Five Great Holy Lands of the Demon Realm!"
Ji Sicheng continued to be stubborn and insisted, "In short, without Lord Sword Sovereign's orders, I will not agree to let them leave the secret realm!"
Li Miaocai was furious.
Why couldn't this old thing be reasoned with no matter what?
"Brother Sword Emperor, you don't have any orders. But what if I want all of you to rush to the Xuan Chu Guard Residence?"
Just as Li Miaocai was having a headache and didn't know how to persuade Ji Sicheng, a mental projection suddenly appeared in the space secret chamber that the two of them were in. A middle-aged Daoist priest wearing a Daoist robe quietly appeared and asked Ji Sicheng a question.
Whoosh!
Li Miaocai and Ji Sicheng were shocked at the same time. They never thought that someone could silently appear in the secret chamber that they had set up layers of mental restrictions.
"Who?!"
The two of them turned their heads to look at the person at the same time.
When they saw the appearance of the person and sensed the aura fluctuations emitted from the mental projection, they couldn't help but straighten their bodies at the same time. They bowed and said in unison,
"Greetings, Your Excellency Thunder Emperor!"
"We didn't know that Your Excellency Thunder Emperor's mental projection had graced us with your presence. We hope Your Excellency Thunder Emperor will forgive us for our offense!"
The two of them never thought that the Thunder Emperor, who had always been elusive, would suddenly project his mental projection across space and send his mental projection.
"Dispense with the formalities. Those who don't know are innocent."
Wen Zhaoxiu waved his hand at the two of them indifferently. Then, he slowly looked at Ji Sicheng again and softly repeated the question just now.
"Little Ji, this poor Taoist asked you just now. If this poor Taoist wanted everyone in the Awakening Plan to rush to the Xuan Chu Guard Mansion without Brother Sword Emperor's instructions, what would you think?"
Ji Sicheng trembled. Since the Thunder Emperor had said so, how could he have any more opinions? Did he dare to have any more opinions?
"Your Excellency Thunder Emperor must be joking. In Sicheng's heart, you and Your Excellency Spirit Emperor are the same as Your Excellency Sword Emperor. You are all the supreme guardians of the Human Race. Every word you say is the highest order that can't be violated. Sicheng won't and won't dare to have any opinions!"
Even Li Miaocai wanted to give Ji Sicheng two thumbs up for his flattery.
F * ck, you weren't so obedient when you talked back to me just now!
"Haha!" Wen Zhaoxiu shook his head slightly and smiled. He said indifferently, "There's no need to be like this. We don't have the final say, and we're not that scary."
"If you really have any opinions, don't keep them in your heart. Say what you should say and mention it. No one will blame you for speaking your mind."
Li Miaocai and Ji Sicheng nodded repeatedly and didn't dare to refute.
"You can reconsider what I said just now." Wen Zhaoxiu continued, "The Hibernation Awakening Plan will be suspended. All the Human Demi-Emperors lurking in the capital will secretly rush to the Xuan Chu Guard Mansion to receive Yang Fan's treatment."
"If the two of you don't have any opinions, this matter is settled. How about it?"
Wen Zhaoxiu once again asked for the two's opinions with a pleasant expression. Of course, his main attention was still on Ji Sicheng.
"Yes, Your Excellency Thunder Emperor!"
Ji Sicheng instantly became extremely obedient, but Li Miaocai raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Wen Zhaoxiu softly,
"Your Excellency Thunder Emperor, if we all leave, what will happen to the capital? Without a Demi-Emperor guarding it, I'm afraid that something will happen!"
Wen Zhaoxiu shook his head slightly and said indifferently, "It's fine. The capital has a Spiritual Power Defense Array inside and a City Defense Array outside. There won't be any accidents if we leave for a day or two."
"Besides, if there really is a Demonic Beast that is blind and insists on appearing at this time, I won't sit idly by."
Now, the entire Demon Region and the Five Great Holy Lands were mainly focused on Yang Fan. No one would cause trouble for the capital at this time.
Especially when they knew that the City Defense Array outside the capital had been completely activated, who would come to court death again?
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Your Excellency Thunder Emperor!"
Li Miaocai breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands at Wen Zhaoxiu. This time, he completely had no opinions.
"Mm." Wen Zhaoxiu nodded lightly and said lightly, "Since there are no opinions, let's start the execution."
"When you go, remember to bring all the Demi-Emperors in the capital. It's rare to have a Demi-Emperor fall. Since you've caught up with it, don't miss it!"
Even though the capital had already experienced a Demi-Emperor fall, and the spirit energy absorbed by most of the cultivators in the city was already close to saturation. So, there was no need for them to travel a long distance to the Xuan Chu Estate to experience it again.
However, no matter if it was the requirement of spirit energy or the comprehension of the Laws, it was indispensable to those cultivators whose cultivations had been stuck at the Half-step Monarch Realm.
If they were lucky, then they might be able to directly break through just like Tang Zhicheng, Wu Dao, and the others.
"Yes, Your Excellency Thunder Emperor!"
Li Miaocai and Ji Sicheng bowed at the same time. When they stood up once more, they noticed that the Thunder Emperor's Divine Sense Projection had already dispersed and left.
"He left?"
"He should have left already!"
Ji Sicheng and Li Miaocai glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but heave sighs of relief at the same time.
"I never expected that even Your Excellency Thunder Emperor would be alarmed. Looks like the fortuitous encounters on this trip to Xuan Chu aren't small!"
Li Miaocai sighed lightly, and he felt even more anticipation towards Ruan Fengcheng's trip.
"Yeah, I was so nervous earlier that I forgot to ask. Tell me, even the Thunder Emperor has made an appearance, so why is there still no news of the Sword Emperor? "
Ji Sicheng sighed lightly with slight regret as well.
How good would it be if it wasn't the Thunder Emperor that came over earlier but the Sword Emperor instead? I was so persistent and loyal to the Sword Emperor's orders. If the Sword Emperor just happened to see me, then his Favorability towards me would definitely increase by leaps and bounds, right?
"What? Could it be that you intend to go back on your word?" Li Miaocai glanced at this bootlicker with a speechless expression.
"That's impossible!" Ji Sicheng said frankly, "No matter if it's the Sword Emperor or the Thunder Emperor, we can't afford to offend any of them."
"Now that the Thunder Emperor has come out to endorse us, even if the Sword Emperor really blames us in the future, we can be considered to have an excuse, right?"
"Moreover, I am also very curious about the trip to the Xuan Chu Garrison. If I can take advantage of this opportunity to completely resolve the backlash from the Dao injury in my body, then that would be even better!"
With the Thunder Emperor's orders, their actions this time could be considered to be justified, so Ji Sicheng naturally wouldn't stand out to be a tiger that stood in their way.
"You old geezer, you're really crafty. Aren't you afraid that the Thunder Emperor will return and punish you for the crime of disrespect?"
Li Miaocai shook his head and chuckled. When he saw Ji Sicheng suddenly look around suspiciously, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
The sudden appearance of the Thunder Emperor had removed a huge worry from his heart. Now, he could finally take his Half-Emperor brothers in the Secret Realm out of the city to find their own opportunities!
"You stay here for now. This old man will go and spread the good news!"
"In ten minutes, we'll set out together and rush to the Xuan Chu Garrison!"
Not wanting to delay for another moment, Li Miaocai's figure flashed, and he directly tore through the sky and left!
