Chapter 2259 Gambling too far!
The Guyu Realm is far away from the starry sea outside the starry sky, and the star radiation is so weak that it is almost empty. In the dark and cold cosmic swamp all year round, a bloody pursuit and killing is underway.
The remaining soldiers of the Guyu fleet were like panicked little beasts, fighting their lives like a farther, darker and colder depth of the universe, and even desperately trying to jump the starry sea and escape to other vast worlds where the Li family belongs.
The fastest destroyer of the Thunder Fleet was like sharp teeth, constantly tearing the softest abdomen of the fugitives from all directions. Before ripples of space shock appeared around them, they first teared terrifying wounds on their starship shell, forcing them to stop the operation of the Star Sea Jump Unit, reduce the speed of regular cruises, and tangle with the chasers.
Then, it is the turn of the Golden Eagle and other giant god weapons to show their power.
Under the cover of his own fierce artillery fire, Li Yao drove the golden eagle and broke into the starship of the remnants of the Guyu Fleet again and again. The knife was like a can-picking kick, easily prying open layers of armor.
As long as he was drilled into the starship by the golden eagle, he had almost no force to stop him from acting rampantly and killing all directions.
Li Yao did not intentionally kill too many immortal cultivators, but drove straight in. With his deepest insight into the starship, he directly destroyed the energy center, causing the starship's colorful spiritual shields and power units to dim, completely losing its combat power, and could only be captured by his opponent.
The golden light that appeared and disappeared from time to time became the greatest fear in the hearts of the remaining soldiers of the Guyu Fleet, and also the loudest cheers in the mouths of the officers and soldiers of the Thunder Fleet.
Under the powerful offensive of the Thunder Fleet and Li Yao's unstoppable attack, the remnants of soldiers struggled more and more weakly like little beasts dragged into the swamp by crocodiles.
Suddenly, it seemed as if a strange wave spread across the starships of all the remaining soldiers, and all the starships of the Guyu Fleet appeared in a miserable light.
Even the starships that were about to leave the war zone took the initiative to slow down and slowly shut down the psychic shield and power unit.
Li Yao, who was holding up the battleship sword and preparing to invade the new starship, narrowed his eyes. In a moment, he received news from the rear that the Guyu Fleet and the Yu Shenxing ground troops all surrendered. The Li family's attitude turned 180 degrees and was willing to support the righteous actions of the reformists and jointly issued the roar of the "Reform Empire"!
...
On the flagship "Iron Fleet" of the Thunder Fleet.
As the joint flagship of the third theater of the Expeditionary Force, the Tieliu has been equipped with three or five giant god weapons all year round, and naturally has a complete Giant god weapons maintenance center.
Li Yao's golden vulture temporarily uses the "Iron Flow" as his nest. After the fierce battle, it must be maintained here for the most comprehensive maintenance, replenish ammunition and inject new fuel into it before it can be included in the Qiankun Ring.
As soon as he climbed out of the giant god weapon, he saw countless pairs of eyes looking at him in awe. Whether it was the Thunder Fleet or the dozens of other powerful people in the Third War Zone, they all had a deeper understanding of Li Yao, the "angel", and the glorious image of "Vulture Li Yao" finally gradually stood up.
Before Li Yao could nod and greet the many officers and soldiers, smiled kindly, and before he could repair the giant god weapon, he was summoned by Lei Chenghu to discuss the next step of his actions.
However, when he came from Lei Chenghu's command room, he found that Lei Chenghu was the only one in the command room, and there were no other commanders of the joint fleet, not even holographic projection.
"The Li family compromised and won the first bet."
Lei Chenghu crossed his hands, his flesh and blood fingers overlapped with steel fingers. His cold eyes crossed his hands and stared at Li Yao and said, "The latest news is that Li Jiande, the current head of the Li family, one of the four electoral emperors, was suddenly seriously ill, unconscious, and could not handle family affairs at all, but the father of His Highness Li Mingxuan temporarily took over the position of the head of the family.
"Li Mingxuan had just become the temporary head of the family and immediately ordered the Guyujie defenders to surrender, and expressed his deep understanding and absolute support for the reformists and our bloody officers and soldiers on the front line, and supported us to make a call for justice.
"Do you know about this beforehand, what do you think?"
"ah?"
Li Yao blinked quickly, "The old master Li Jiande suddenly had a serious illness and was about to get rid of his hair. Then the new master was the father of His Highness the Queen. He announced his full cooperation with the reformists as soon as he took office? This, is the Li family who is full of confidence, her father, Li Mingxuan, the 'bearer' of our empire? It feels a bit strange!"
"You really don't know?"
Lei Chenghu observed his expression and carefully analyzed Li Yao's expression. He was slightly surprised. His two thick eyebrows overlapped together, "It seems that His Highness did not tell you everything about it!"
"Everyone said that His Highness and I are not very familiar with each other. We are just ordinary friends, so we are not a confidant!"
Li Yao scratched his chin and pondered, "I always feel that the progress is going too smoothly. We just called over and the head of the hometown is about to die. His Highness's father became the new head of the family. He also has such strong control over the Li family, and he can make all the defenders in the Guyu Realm surrender at once? This inner man is too...awesome, right?"
"It's not the new head of the family, but the temporary head of the family."
Lei Chenghu knocked on the table and said, "I want to remind you that Li Jiande, the oldest "Silver Fox" among the four electoral emperors, is a famous immortal in the imperial political arena. As early as a hundred years ago, after resigning as prime minister of the empire due to a serious illness, he was said to have had very serious health problems. He was still alive all day long and survived.
"But he survived for a hundred years and never saw him die. Instead, he died one by one, and the enemies who had been coveting his position for the past century, all died completely.
"There are even rumors that this old man has no serious illness at all, but has practiced a special secret technique, at the cost of his daily health and his final life, in exchange for the terrifying realm of the divine distraction stage at the critical moment!"
Li Yao was shocked: "Distraction period!"
"That's right, when practicing to the Nascent Soul realm, in terms of strength and computing power, it has reached the limit of the human body. From the beginning of transforming into a god, it gradually broke through the limitations of the word "human" and developed in the direction of legends and myths. The so-called "distraction" is even more terrifying. The strongest immortal cultivator in the empire is the realm of distraction. The "Silver Fox" Li Jiande stood at the peak of the entire empire's immortal cultivation world and had not died for a hundred years. How could it be so strange? He was so sick that he was about to die at this time?"
Lei Chenghu analyzed carefully, "And this 'bastard' Li Mingxuan, to be honest, is not an outstanding person. His qualifications are mediocre. He is just an ordinary elder of the Li family. How can he have the ability to seize power from the old silver fox? Even if he is forced to usurp power by him, there is no reason to settle everyone in the Li family so quickly and then order the Guyu fleet to surrender."
Li Yao's eyes turned: "I understand, it's a puppet!"
"Yes, I guess it's almost a dozen. Li Mingxuan is just a puppet pushed by the 'Silver Fox' Li Jiande on the table, and he carefully selected the poor man who took the blame."
Lei Chenghu had no expression on his face and said lightly, "Now Li Jiande pretended to be seriously ill, unconscious, and lost power. He put Li Mingxuan on the table as a puppet, which means that the Li family fully supports the reformists.
"Once the wave of innovation really swept across the entire empire, the Li family will naturally gain a lot of benefits, at least to maintain their current wealth and status.
"But if the momentum is not good and the fire of innovation is going to be put out, hum, this "unconscious" old fox will definitely jump out to "destroy relatives for justice" as soon as possible, kill all his own son Li Mingxuan and his granddaughter Li Linghai, representing the Li family to "remedy the chaos" and eliminate the reformists!
"In this way, both sides will stand invincible and will never lose."
Li Yao thought carefully for a moment and couldn't help but nodded, "'Silver Fox' Li Jiande, it's indeed a good method!"
"But your Queen, aren't your method more clever?"
Lei Chenghu's eyes firmly stuck to Li Yao's face and said quietly, "I have been guessing who the queen should be lying in the Li family, who has the ability and strength to challenge the "Silver Fox" Li Jiande and then control the entire Li family? Unexpectedly, the queen's inner support was Li Jiande himself, so he could naturally obtain the full support of the Li family in an instant.
"The situation was pressing at that time, and every minute was on the verge of being doomed, and there was no time to think about it carefully. But now the overall situation is settled and carefully thought about it, I found that the whole thing was not reasonable. If the queen had already obtained Li Jiande's support, she would not have to shoot so fiercely in the Guyu Realm. Assuming that the queen did not obtain Li Jiande's support, how could she do this in just half a day?
"I put myself into the role of the queen, thought carefully and repeatedly deduced, and finally thought of the only way, a... my strategy in Shenwei Prison was like a terrifying solution.
"Fellow Daoist Li, have you thought of it?"
Li Yao's eyes seemed to be trapped in a deep pool of blood, and the blood-colored inner demon kept rolling deep in the brain.
After a while, deep and deep shuddered.
Lei Chenghu smiled, smiling like a ghost: "You thought of it too."
"I really don't know about this."
Li Yao said solemnly, "General Lei, please believe me."
"I believe in you, and I believe in my intuition."
Lei Chenghu took a deep breath and murmured, "My experience, rationality and calculation ability all told me that if I want to save the empire, the only way I can go is to cooperate with the empress; but my intuition is vaguely reminding me that His Highness is an extremely terrifying, terrible person who cannot calculate or even peep. She is different from all the cultivators and even the four elected emperors. No one knows how she will eventually transform the empire, or even... completely destroy the empire!
"Fellow Daoist Li, although everyone has not been together for a long time, and what you say is often ridiculous, for some reason, my intuition actually tells me that many of the things you say are true. On a certain level, you seem to be more trustworthy than His Highness himself.
