Chapter 873: Cooperation (III)
“How come you’re not saying anything?” Jiang Yingli asked curiously. “You’re almost an Apex, you should be able to talk. Although your bloodline is weak, the Monster Spirit Envoy knew how to transmit its voice at this level of cultivation. Is your voice not pleasant to the ear?”
“......” Panther couldn’t be bothered to respond and avoided the robot cat. It swiftly ran to Li Hao’s side. What were these guys doing out of the ruins? This wasn’t a good development. They weren’t afraid of it at all!
“Seniors, try not to speak when you’re outside. Everyone here knows you, but try to keep a lower profile when you’re out and about!”
“Don’t worry, we’re very subdued!”
Yeah right! Li Hao said no more and summoned his golden armor. “Let’s go to the Sky Sword Manor first!”
The rest of the group put on their armor without a word to conceal their identities. As for whether or not they would still be recognized, it didn’t matter if they were—with the exception of Chen Zhongtian. He needed to keep to himself to prevent anyone from picking up on his identity.
Chen Zhongtian was no fool, he kept a very low profile these days. He even had his son put on an expression that his old man was dead. His Saint-level weapon was no more, after all, a loss that might’ve been sensed by others. Therefore, he had Chen Yao pretend that his father was dead—possibly assassinated by Li Hao.
Of course, nothing was publicized.
The group didn’t keep to themselves. They soared out from the Skystar Commander Office, catching the morning sun’s rays with glittering golden and silver armor. They were a very conspicuous lot.
“Let’s go!”
BOOM!
The six instantly vanished after creating quite a disturbance.
......
Not far away, the Ministry of Armed Forces.
Qi Pingjiang walked out and frowned. Li Hao had just returned from spending a few days in Silver Moon. Where was he going now? He didn’t take that many with him, however—less than ten. Yao Si and the like were still present, as was He Yong. Sky Sword and Earthturner Sword seemed to have gone with the young man.
“Have they discovered traces of the Wind and Cloud Pavilion?” Qi Pingjiang turned to the middle-aged man next to him—his son.
“Possibly,” Qi Dinghai responded. “Those from the Night Watchers and Skystar Commander Office have been investigating the faction lately...”
“Let them fight among themselves! There is more to the Wind and Cloud Pavilion than meets the eye,” Qi Pingjiang responded easily. “Don’t judge them for being new players, I suspect that they have far more Arcanus than we have estimated. If Li Hao really is going to go toe-to-toe against them and bringing just those people, he’s in for a huge surprise!”
“Does father think that the Wind and Cloud Pavilion can withstand them?”
“Why not?” Qi Pingjiang asked calmly in return. “They’ve plumbed the depths of so many powerhouses, do they dare casually announce their findings without having some real skill to their name? Won’t they be afraid of offending people? The Wind and Cloud Pavilion is just like Li Hao—a bunch of shitstirrers. They want nothing more than for the world to be engulfed by chaos.”
They were all the same.
“I’m not sure!” Qi Pingjiang shook his head. “We’ll see.”
“Then... when do you go?”
“In a few days,” replied Qi Pingjiang. “After Li Hao summons the Silver Moon powerhouses again and engages the Wind and Cloud Pavilion. That clash will not be resolved in a day or two, which will be the best distraction for us. If we go before that, he might seize the opportunity to capture the rest of you!”
They were on guard against Li Hao. The young man’s next target was uncertain as of the moment. Although he’d left, he might come back anytime. Nothing could be undertaken with peace of mind unless battle erupted in a certain locale. They would be at ease only after he was preoccupied elsewhere. Otherwise, Li Hao might really seek to take down the rest of the ministries in one go.
What would they be able to do then?
......
In the air.
Li Hao flew through the air and enveloped the rest of his people with his domain to ensure that everyone was traveling swiftly. Although it slowed him down, their overall speed was very fast.
The two puppets looked around curiously at the domain surrounding them. Being from Tranquil Star, they knew its ultimate arts well. They’d looked carefully at Li Hao when he first coalesced the supernatural characters. They were even more intrigued by his personal domain.
“Are you building a minor world?” Their knowledge ranged far and wide. Though they’d never seen this before and were dead on top of that, they could still identify key details with a glance.
“No, this is a personal domain!”
“I see!” Li Shengzhang responded, then hesitated. “But I sense that your domain is such a mishmash! I’ve heard the seniors of my family say that all things return to chaos. However, your miscellaneous collection of energy isn’t chaos, just simply a mess.”
“All things return to chaos?” Li Hao repeated.
“Yep!” Li Shengzhang’s energetic nod was slightly comical given her current outfit. “That was apparently how the Human King’s inner world was, but we don’t know if that was truly the case.”
Li Hao pondered their words, as did the rest of the group listen silently.
“Seniors,” a curious Deputy Zhou suddenly asked. “Is there a future in a dao of purely the physical body?”
“Of course!” It was Jiang Yingli who responded. “My forefather was a powerhouse of the physical body dao! Although he wasn’t on par with the exalted emperor of Capital Martial, his body was so strong that it was a rare sight among the exalted emperors.”
She glanced at the deputy amid her excited chatter. “So you can achieve nine revolutions of the golden body, that’s very impressive! Did someone change you through manmade means?”
“Yes.”
“Who did that?” Jiang Yingli was curious. “Although quite a few people know how to achieve that, they must’ve been an incredible powerhouse to do so for you in this time period. It can’t be someone from my family, can it?”
“......” Deputy Zhou coughed. “Probably... not?” How awkward would that be?
