Chapter 1171: Chapter 848: Negotiating with a Tiger?

"Hoo~ It’s getting more and more chaotic." Lin Yaoyao glanced at the electromagnetic stove manifested by the Illusory Eye as she prepared dinner. Despite the high-environment world not requiring as much reliance on food, having the habit of eating remained important...

The Illusory Eye provided them with sufficient convenience in daily activities, offering everything needed for cooking.

"We should find a way to return." Qi Xiangyun was somewhat despondent, initially believing there was ample time, only for it to turn into a calculated defeat.

The battle at the Ancient Immortal Mountain cost them a dozen Blood Puppets, which played a significant role by helping the Dusk mercenaries break through enemy lines, forcing the Boundary Breakers to prematurely awaken the ’Ancient’.

However, the result of awakening early was not much different from awakening later; the opponents simply wanted to make a big move.

The partially awakened ’Ancient’ had already taken out quite a few Dusk mercenaries, so if the Boundary Breakers had more time to prepare, at least ninety percent of the participating Dusk mercenaries would have perished.

If it weren’t for the competent ones among the Dusk mercenaries, who identified the enemy’s Boundary Breaking core ahead of time and waited it out by entangling with the Boundary Breaker-influenced natives for a month or two, the result would have been a devastating defeat.

Once the ’Ancient’ was awakened, the Dusk mercenaries were helpless against it, facing threats not only from the ’Ancient’ but also from the Unified Imperial Dynasty.

The Boundary Breakers had long been involved with the people of the Unified Imperial Dynasty, the details of which they did not know, but now they faced more severe persecution.

It was said that many princes and royal grandsons of the dynasty were targeting them.

Well... the Unified Imperial Dynasty was mighty, with over a hundred princes in the current era, and even more royal grandsons.

These were the ones who remained after several rounds of ’screening’ by the Unified Imperial Dynasty; the rest were the less significant Imperial Family members.

This was not the kind of dynasty portrayed in some novels that exists as a lackluster background; the Unified Imperial Dynasty in this world, besides being a backdrop, was also a pinnacle...

Its presence was intensely strong, with resources far surpassing those of any famed righteous sects.

Thus, talents were abundant, and the current ’Holy Emperor’ was a cultivator who could directly suppress all potential conflicts within the dynasty, allowing the Unified Imperial Dynasty to thrive in a flourishing period.

Confronted with such targeted persecution from the Unified Imperial Dynasty, the three of them were quite passive now, likely because they had been too outstanding and famous in the Dusk mercenaries, making the princes and grandsons particularly interested in them after the revival of the ’Ancient’.

"There’s no time to eat." Liu Hongzhao glanced in one direction, swung her sword, and a blood-colored Wind Blade slashed out, breaking through an empty space and shattering some spell from afar.

"Sigh, what’s going on." Lin Yaoyao muttered, suddenly realizing something. She widened her eyes in disbelief: "Brother Chang Qing has arrived!!"

It wasn’t that she sensed Zheng Yichen’s presence, but that the Apocalypse Stone Ring she carried activated.

This thing could only be used when in the same world as Zheng Yichen; at other times, they treated it as a special piece of jewelry of great importance.

Occasionally, it might be used to fend off subtle attacks. Just as she was about to give up on the unfinished dinner, the Apocalypse Stone Ring activated.

It successfully connected with the internal space managed by Zheng Yichen on the other side, and she tried stuffing the half-cooked dinner inside, succeeding.

Lilith’s projection appeared: "I’ll take care of the ingredients, the boss doesn’t have time to meet with you now."

"Oh, okay... It’s fine. Why would Brother Chang Qing come here?" Lin Yaoyao asked excitedly.

"The boss inquired about your situation and was assigned here by Dusk; your task success rate has dropped to zero."

Qi Xiangyun nodded helplessly: "Then tell Brother Chang Qing to be careful, ’Ancient’ is a legendary existence related to the creation myths of this world."

The legend might be exaggerated, but since it truly exists and has been awakened, it clearly is not something that the Dusk mercenaries can handle together.

Helpless as they are, they are not overly concerned with the lack of merit points.

"I can go and help." Liu Hongzhao came over, having already cleared the nearby dead agents.

These people’s cultivation wasn’t high, but as death soldiers, they excelled in life-and-death combat. In large numbers, they could be quite troublesome, continuously draining their energy.

Their Blood Asura could refine the blood energy mixed with fighting spirit, but ultimately couldn’t achieve Zheng Yichen’s level of freely absorbing blood to recover.

"There’s no need to rush; the boss doesn’t want the Boundary Breaking Faction to know about your relationship with him."

"... Understood." Liu Hongzhao nodded, no longer insisting, instead contemplating how to assist from another perspective.

She first thought of the Unified Imperial Dynasty, which was mighty and significantly associated with the Ancient Immortal Mountain. From the intelligence they had gathered, the Unified Imperial Dynasty wanted to control the ’Ancient’.

It seemed the Boundary Breakers exploited this, allying with the Unified Imperial Dynasty. The dynasty might have noticed anomalies with the Boundary Breakers but, being a high-environment empire, clearly had its own plans.

To conspire with a tiger, the Boundary Breakers wanted to break the boundary, and the Unified Imperial Dynasty might not be without the thought of using them and then disposing of them.
