Chapter 2401 The Imperial Civil War Is About to Break Out!
"Xu Zhicheng actually took the initiative to stay!"
Li Yao was taken aback.
He has great respect for this man who lost his two children and turned into the Great Protector of Wuyou Teaching in extreme despair.
Although they have different paths, and the other party has just awakened their spiritual roots, and their strength is vastly different from his, Li Yao admits that Xu Zhicheng has a strong personality and is a real man.
In order to cover the evacuation of the elderly, the weak, women and children, and to appease the anger of the immortal cultivators, Xu Zhicheng did everything he could. Even many cultivators may not be able to do this.
"Did something happen to Xu Zhicheng and the remaining members of the Wuyou Sect, were they killed by the cultivators?"
Li Yao asked eagerly.
"not yet."
Li Xiaoming shook his head and said, "No matter the appearance of father or Long Yangjun, they have cast a complicated and confusing shadow on the Wuyou Sect uprising. He cared about the worry-free teaching itself, but he focused all his attention on his father and Long Yangjun.
"In order to get clues about Papa and Long Yangjun from Xu Zhicheng and other key members of the Wuyou Sect, they naturally wouldn't kill them easily, but locked them up in a big iron factory and tortured them to extract confessions.
"On the other hand, if the cultivators want to stabilize the situation, it is impossible to kill all the workers at once. After all, these skilled workers who are adapted to the harsh underground environment are not easy to find. If too many people are killed in a hurry, the entire building will be destroyed. The iron works are going to collapse.
"We found that the immortal cultivators seemed eager to use the energy and magic weapon assembly line of the big iron factory to refine a batch of magic weapons. Xu Zhicheng voluntarily surrendered and was willing to maintain the order of the factory and resume production as soon as possible. With such trading conditions, the immortal cultivators temporarily Hold down the butcher knife."
"but"
Li Wenwen added, "According to our analysis, this is just a delaying strategy for the cultivators. The original workers in the big iron factory were all 'polluted' by the worry-free teaching after all, and the cultivators will never trust them again.
"Right now, the cultivators on the ground are too busy fighting among themselves to care about the riots deep underground, so they can reach a temporary compromise with the workers.
"When the situation on the ground settles down, the immortal cultivators can transfer more obedient skilled workers from other places, or simply replace the workers here with a large number of psychic puppets. Everyone was killed, and we copied a batch of files. This kind of thing has been done countless times by cultivators in the past.
"The same goes for Xu Zhicheng and others. Three to five days is enough to dig out all the information in their minds. Right now, they have lost their use value, and they may be executed soon!"
Li Yao was anxious, pacing back and forth, with chaotic thoughts popping up in his mind, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Where are Lord Long Yang and Li Jialing, do you know where they evacuated with the old and weak, women and children?"
"The old, weak, women and children of the big iron factory were broken into pieces and evacuated to hundreds of towns deep underground. Anyway, the magic weapons and supplies they brought out from the big iron factory are enough to support the life of these towns for a period of time."
Li Wenwen said, "As for the specific whereabouts of Aunt Long and Li Jialing, we really don't know. Our 'vision' is extremely dependent on the spiritual network of the empire, and the place where they fled must be a corner without network and crystal eyes monitoring , then we can't track them down.
"After all, the underground world of Tianji Star has been developed by civilizations for hundreds of thousands of years. It has countless gaps, tunnels, caves and unknown shelters. It is too easy to hide two people!"
"So……"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and said, "When you could still see her, didn't you think of leaving a message for her to communicate with her and clarify my whereabouts?"
The two little guys looked at each other and shook their heads like rattles at the same time.
"We are still too weak to trust others easily."
Li Xiaoming said earnestly, "Pangu civilization doesn't have any good feelings for human civilization, and Nuwa civilization overindulges their emotions, with a crazy and messy image. Whether Long Yangjun is from the Pangu clan or the Nuwa clan, we can't predict it." Her next move, rashly adding this 'disorder variable', is a great test of our computing power."
"more importantly"
Li Wenwen looked at Li Yao with some concern, "The last time we peeped at Long Yangjun, she was swearing at Dad, gnashing her teeth, scolding Dad bloody, saying that you are despicable, shameless, insidious and obscene. You bastard, I don't know what to do with leaving such a big mess, but I patted my ass and ran away, and said that if I had a chance to bump into you again, I would drag your body to pieces and feed it to the dogs.
"We carefully analyzed the micro-expressions on her face and found that she was indeed in an extremely unstable rage Say it and do it!
"How dare we rashly tell such a furious Aunt Long the coordinates of this place? If she really comes here with a giant soldier on her back, we may not be able to resist it!
"Later, she took a group of old and weak women and children to a dark area where the network was extremely unstable and even completely disconnected. Even if we remotely controlled some miniature puppets, we still couldn't catch up with her!"
"It's a mess."
Li Yao wiped off his cold sweat, sat down on the stone lump again, looked at the two little guys in a daze, pondered for a long time, and asked the most critical question, "By the way, you guys know what's going on on the ground now What happened in the world of cultivating immortals on the surface of Tianji Star in the past month?"
"Although we dare not sneak into the confidential database of the highest authority of the empire, it is still possible to read the ordinary information flowing through the spiritual network. The imperial capital in the past month has been very lively!"
Li Xiaoming said fearing that the world would be in chaos, "First of all, shortly after the secret base of the former prime minister of the empire was destroyed, the news of the death of Emperor Shenwu came out, and there was also convincing news that Emperor Shenwu was forced to jump over the wall by a dog. Killed by the Eastern people.
"The four major elector families have maintained the balance of the empire for five hundred years. Originally, even if the senior members of the Dongfang family were hit by scandals one after another, even if the entire senior management had to change their blood, the Dongfang family still stood firm, but they were very powerful. Just zoom out.
"That's why many middle and low-level immortal cultivators of the Dongfang family were originally wise and safe, and did not join the melee. They even wanted to go to the next level in the high-level exchange to seek greater benefits.
"But now that the serious crime of 'king killing' has been made public, the Dongfang family is facing a complete collapse and an irreversible end.
"Although in the past five hundred years, the imperial power of the empire has fallen, and many emperors have died inexplicably, but there has never been such a conclusive accusation. For the immortal cultivators of the Dongfang family who are terrified, this is undoubtedly the case of the other three major families. A signal to kill everything.
"So, the situation that had calmed down just now turned into a turbulent turmoil again. Almost all the immortal cultivators of the Dongfang family took the attitude of jumping over the wall in a hurry, and launched a fierce attack on the other three major families, vowing to fight to the death.
"The Dongfang family was originally the most powerful of the four major elector families. As the saying goes, 'a centipede is dead but not stiff', even if it lost Dongfangwang and other high-level officials, it did not lose much fighting power. The two sides were completely torn apart. Shameless, this battle is destined to be protracted.
"Just as the four major elector families were falling apart and fighting, the reformers emerged suddenly.
"The Reform Faction originally supported the other three major elector families and attacked the Dongfang family together with them, but for some reason, they came together with the middle and low-level immortal cultivators of the Dongfang family, and took advantage of the situation to win over the other three major families. A large number of middle and low-level cultivators and young people.
"By the way, the reformists have completely controlled the palace, and it seems that they have unearthed a lot of good things in the depths of the palace. There must be a large-scale underground arsenal deep in the palace, and extremely powerful restrictions and firewalls have been set up. We have studied Many times, never dared to take the risk of intrusion.
"In this way, with the original armed forces of the reformist faction, coupled with the vitality of the Dongfang family, and the other three elector families trying to overthrow the 'rule of the elderly', just like the Dongfang family, there will be a big change for the high-level The younger generation, together with the Thunder Fleet commanded by the god of war Lei Chenghu in the depths of the star sea, echoed them from a distance, and in just half a month, they launched a series of earth-shattering attacks.
"Under the banner of 'renovating the empire', they organized an elite death squad, claiming that the current imperial senate has been invaded and severely corrupted by extraterrestrial demons, unexpectedly appeared at the gate of the senate, and even the few responsible for guarding the senate In the garrison, many people 'rebelled' to the side of the reformists.
"This was a classic 'beheading operation' like a textbook. They captured the Senate in just one day of fierce fighting, and many veterans were even captured alive by the reformers.
"Of course, not all of the five hundred elders of the empire are in the imperial capital. More than half of the elders participate in the daily operation of the Senate through ultra-long-distance holographic projection. Stand by.
"There is also a small group of veterans who also fled the imperial capital during the bloody battle of the pro-guards.
"Currently, most of the places in the Pole Sky Realm and the Pole Star are occupied by the reformists, and only 1% of the places are still controlled by the army loyal to the elector, mainly the star port with a large star sea jumping system. They want to pass through these Starport, transporting more important people and information.
"In short, the series of fierce attacks by the reformers is really unexpected. Although all parties are still actively mediating, it seems that a full-scale civil war in the real human empire is inevitable."
