“It is useless to just ‘give it so thoughts’!”
Li Lingfeng suddenly raised his voice and declared in an oppressing way, “My fellow Cultivator whose na I do not know but who is as pitiful as , although you have been covering yourself up, I have already figured out your identity and your situation from the traces you left behind!”
Li Yao was slightly dazed. “Have you?”
“First of all, raising an assassin, assaulter, and saboteur in the Divinity Transformation Stage in secret while hiding it from everybody else, and having a Colossus that is not registered in any database in the Imperium—Even taking the entire Imperium into account, the forces with such capabilities can only be the four Kurfürst families and the few warlords of the coalition fleets who rose recently. Your origins can be beyond the few forces!”
Li Lingfeng said resolutely and unquestionably, “However, with such a remarkable background and amazing capabilities, you have been used by the force behind you as a secret agent to carry out such a mission that is bordering on suicide. It appears to
that your life in your force can’t be too comfortable. It is possible that you are hated, envied, and ostracized too. Sobody might even have hoped to kill you through , didn’t they?
“Otherwise, I can’t think of a reason why a high and mighty expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage would co to ruin ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ at such great risks. There are no benefits in it for you in person, and it is 99% likely that you would be killed!
“It’s just like right now, had Li Linghai not arrived all of a sudden, you would’ve been killed by
a long ti ago!
“As an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, you should be able to calculate the gains and losses in the blink of an eye. How could you have done such things rashly? It is utterly unreasonable!”
Li Yao’s pupils enlarged and constricted, and the veins on his face were visible now and then too. He said slowly, “Fellow Cultivator Li, should I complint you for your wisdom that is finally back online and showing the computational and deduction abilities of the Divinity Transformation Stage?”
Li Lingfeng sneered, “Eliminating all the unreasonable and illogical choices, my speculation is the only possible truth. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain your arrival and what you did at all!”
After a long silence, Li Yao finally heaved a sigh and said, “It may be the truth, but so what? Everybody in the universe has their restraints. Even if you are as strong as a god, it is impossible for you to do whatever you want! The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and various sources that soone in the Divinity Transformation Stage consus every day are astronomical. The seemingly powerful Colossus also requires an enormous industrial system for maintenance. There are also issues of fuel, ammunition, and replacent of weapons… Without the support of a family, what can I do by myself and my Colossus?
“Therefore, although I know I’ll be hanging by a thread if I take the mission to sabotage your territory in the Martial ritocrats Sector on my own, although I know that the fake identity of ‘Cultivator’ definitely cannot fool everyone in the entire Imperium, although I know that there is a good chance that I will be killed by you, or be hated by you who are at a higher level in the Divinity Transformation Stage than
for the rest of my life even if I am not, although I know that the entire Li family will consider
as prey should the incident be exposed and I will very likely end as a sacrifice in the private deals, although I know clearly that it is a sche of soone in my force to kill
indirectly—I know everything clearly, but so what? So what?
“You’re quite right. I’m just a tool, the sharpest saber. However sharp the saber is, it cannot decide whose hands it will be grabbed in and what it will slash!”
As he approached the end, blood was glistening in Li Yao’s eyes, and his voice was filled with anger and resentnt!
Li Lingfeng observed him quietly for a while before he suddenly chuckled. “It seems that I was not wrong at all. We truly share the sa unfortunate life. It seems that I should not loathe you but the force behind you—the guys who went through all the trouble to destroy my lifelong work, the slaughter stream platform and the Heavenly Eye Group, and who intended to destroy you by the way too!”
The blood inside Li Yao’s eyes was shining as he said gloomily, “Yes. Maybe those guys wanted us to kill each other in a battle, which would’ve been a stone that killed two birds!”
Blinking his eyes, Li Lingfeng put on an even more sunny smile. He said, “We’ve been fighting and chatting for a long ti, but I don’t seem to have learned my fellow Cultivator’s na yet.”
Pondering for a mont, Li Yao said, “Call
‘Vulture Li Yao’.”
Li Lingfeng glanced at Li Jialing, and there was even more certainty in his eyes.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes, and with hostility beaming out again, he said, “Why have your senses been locked onto Li Jialing? You want to tell if I gave you a false na through his indirect reactions?”
“I have no doubt that you gave
a false na.”
Li Lingfeng chuckled. “However, judging from the reactions of my little nephew, you gave
the sa pseudo na as you gave to him, which more or less proved your sincerity.”
Li Yao glanced at Li Jialing and mumbled, “I’m feeling more and more that I underestimated you yesterday. I thought that you were just a random guy in a noble family who had more ambitions than talents. But as it turns out, as the dangerous mont of life and death, your wisdom is soaring like a volcano eruption. Even such a top-secret, that ‘Vulture Li Yao’ is a false na, has been seen through you imdiately. How impressive!
“Enough talking. Now that we have more or less learned each other’s cards, what exactly do you want, Fellow Cultivator Li?”
“Vulture Li Yao, Fellow Cultivator Li, right? Don’t be so vigilant. You may find it hard to believe, but I really don’t an any harm to you right now—nor am I qualified to. I just hope that we can warm each other up and give each other a hand.”
Opening his hands, Li Lingfeng said frankly, “You know it better than anybody else that the quest of ‘Dying Light’ has been completely ssed up, ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ has been demolished, and the Heavenly Eye Group is hopeless. Whatever influences that I have built in the past decades are possible to fall apart. It is impossible for the big shots of my family to continue trusting and supporting
like before.
“All in all, I am poorer than any mont in the past hundred years, and it is barely possible for
to make a coback on my own.
“Why would I refuse the friendship of another expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage under such circumstances? And it is one with such a powerful Colossus, no less!”
“Friendship?”
Li Yao sneered, “What will I get?”
“Sa, the friendship of an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage!”
Li Lingfeng smiled. “Although I do not have anything right now, my core troops haven’t suffered any damage. They are still cleaning up the ss in the Martial ritocrats Sector, unaware of what is going on here. The wretched Sand Primitive Sector has been screwed up by the hundreds of years of destructive experints. It is barely possible for us to send signals out.
“The bottom line is, as long as you help us survive the crisis right now, I’m absolutely confident to rise again. By then, if you really want to change your fate, I believe you wouldn’t mind receiving so selfless help from ‘the real controller of the Li family’, would you?
“The alliance of two experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage is enough to make the universe tremble. How does it sound? Do you want to show up in the most glamorous seat in the Imperium openly and claim the power and glory that belong to you?”
Li Yao’s eyelids bounced violently, and he ground his teeth like a grater. In an even more hoarse voice, he said, “That’s all? You want to fool
into selling my life to you with such weightless bulls*it?”
“Of course. That’s all about the future. Right now, what matters most is my dear sister and Her Grace of the Imperium.”
Li Lingfeng sniffed the air; his nose tip quivering nonstop. “She has already entered the thunderstorm and is searching for us in the middle of the pouring rain and the thunder. It is a pity that the magnetic field here is too chaotic. She can’t lock onto our coordinates for the ti being, but it won’t be long before she does. How about it? I don’t believe that you are not interested in the queen.”
Li Yao said, sowhat unnaturally, “Why would I be interested in the queen?”
With a “you can’t fool ” look on his face, Li Lingfeng said, “Stop pretending, Fellow Cultivator Li. We have been communicating well and genuinely. Now that a great enemy is underway, is there any need to hide at all? If you and the force behind you are not interested in the queen, how on earth could you have learned so many secrets?”
Li Yao was dazed for a while, and the defense on his face gradually loosened as he said, “Alright. I admit that the major forces in the Imperium are all greatly interested in the queen. After all, as you said just now, she has gradually revealed her ambitions, and she poses a threat to many different people, doesn’t she?
“Who can argue with that? My sister is turning more and more unpredictable, imasurable, and even horrible after only a hundred years.”
Li Lingfeng sighed and said, “Pushing her to the throne of ‘queen’ was perhaps the gravest mistake that the Li family made in the past hundred years. But who could have foreseen that she would grow into sothing like this?
“All in all, she has got everything she needs, and she is about to bare the most aggressive tusks. At such a critical mont, she absolutely will not allow any unexpected factor to disrupt her plan. The three of us have to be killed here!
“If we continue brutalizing each other, we will only be killed by her one after another. There’s no chance of winning at all.
“However, if we can join our hands, with two experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage and Li Jialing, a ‘perfect experint subject’ that Wuying Lan and I carefully refined, we will not entirely be on the losing side!
“It must be noted that Li Jialing’s existence has always been her biggest secret. Even the ‘Deep Sea Fleet’, the secret troop that she founded on her own, will not be allowed to learn the truth.
“Besides, she couldn’t have guessed that we would join hands. She thought that the two of you had escaped into the deepest part of the thunderstorm. So, she would certainly co here to hunt on her own without bringing any help.
“This is our best opportunity!”
Li Jialing had been listening in silence all the ti. He finally couldn’t help anymore, and so, he asked, “You want us to kill her together?”
Li Lingfeng chuckled. “I didn’t say that she must be killed. I know that you might be unable to make up your mind for that. However, getting her under control, talking to her, and making so deals with her, or asking her to tell the truth of your origins—Do you find that acceptable?”
“Rest assured. Your uncle wouldn’t bear to kill your mother.”
Li Yao said to the young man coldly, “He still wants to control the forces deep inside the royal palace with your living mother. Or to put it more frankly, he wants to swallow the forces that your mother accumulated in secret in the past hundred years to realize his own ambitions. Do you understand?”
