Chapter 1176: Chapter 850: No Trust at All
The Unified Imperial Dynasty has long known about the existence of the ’Ancients’, but it’s always been a secret. The dynasty tried to obtain everlasting foundations from the Ancients, but after generations of research, the gains have been minimal.
Yet, even those minimal gains have made the Unified Imperial Dynasty grow increasingly powerful.
Resources have never been lacking for them. High-level cultivation techniques? Imperial Family members could choose as they please, and even have them tailor-made. Through the research on the Ancients, the techniques circulating within the Imperial Family have been further enhanced.
But this is still not enough, as the Ancients are not something they can easily control and study thoroughly, until the appearance of the Boundary Breakers, when the dynasty made groundbreaking progress in their research on the Ancients.
In just a few decades, the Unified Imperial Dynasty gained dozens of True Immortals.
Deploying these True Immortals, the Unified Imperial Dynasty could, of course, take down the Dusk mercenaries, but doing so would not benefit the dynasty; they need to put some pressure on those Boundary Breakers.
After all, cooperating with the Boundary Breakers is akin to hunting with a tiger. They’ve gained a lot, but it’s also like walking a tightrope. What they covet are the Ancient Venerables, while the Boundary Breakers are after their world...
In recent times, those Boundary Breakers had an attitude of assured victory, making the Unified Imperial Dynasty even more vigilant towards them, though they still maintained suitable confidence.
However, then beings like the God Descenders appeared, who were even more special, like Immortal Demons.
After this, the Unified Imperial Dynasty considered whether to give those Dusk mercenaries a chance to fight desperately and completely eradicate the Boundary Breakers, stopping once they achieved gains.
After all, the God Descenders are connected to the Great World behind the Boundary Breakers, which means that higher realm world could be directly linked here, making further scheming prone to problems.
There was no need to forcefully take risks in that situation, with sufficient research on the Ancient Venerable, and eradicate all the Boundary Breakers, keeping the Golden Goose they brought.
But shortly after, those God Descenders disappeared. The extensive intelligence network of the Unified Imperial Dynasty easily confirmed the veracity of this matter.
It seemed a serious issue had cropped up in the Great World behind the Boundary Breakers.
There was nothing more to say, a new hidden danger was eliminated as the false collaborator first ran into issues, so they naturally could gain more from this.
"Proxy Agents will be arriving at the Unified Dynasty Imperial City before long," Li Changsheng placed the intelligence he held onto the table.
The intelligence was relayed instantly, containing a map marked with Zheng Yichen’s location. Considering this world’s time scale, Zheng Yichen will arrive at the Unified Dynasty Imperial City within three hours.
A senior minister showed anger: "Your Majesty, we should have a True Immortal deal with him swiftly!"
No one can act recklessly in the Unified Dynasty Imperial City. Although the person’s travel route here wasn’t a straight line, the intention was very clear, and besides, they knew enough about the Dusk mercenaries’ intelligence.
The analysis easily revealed this Proxy Agent’s goal, merely intending to come here to intimidate the Unified Imperial Dynasty.
Would the dynasty allow themselves to be intimidated like this, becoming a laughingstock for all?
"Let’s do it then." Li Changsheng didn’t plan to have much interaction with this Proxy Agent.
As for future interactions with Dusk?
Dusk does not interfere with the factions of Dusk mercenaries, nor will they shun local Dusk mercenaries in this world because of what the Unified Imperial Dynasty does.
The imperial family members who liaise with the Boundary Breakers might find it hard to become Dusk mercenaries in the future at most.
After all, collaborating with the Boundary Breakers leaves a criminal record, so much that even the current Holy Emperor, let alone other informed individuals, shouldn’t think about entering the Dusk Territory in the future, not even the dynasty’s True Immortals.
If they still go, a dead end awaits.
But for those unaware of this matter, it doesn’t matter.
As long as the world is under the dynasty’s rule, Dusk can still be leveraged by them.
Thus, there’s no need to have much interaction with Proxy Agents independent of Dusk mercenaries, even if the Proxy Agent intends to save the world, their actions still shook the interests of the Unified Imperial Dynasty.
As for what the Proxy Agent is doing now, although many black hand gloves supported by the dynasty have been eliminated as well, overall, it can still be considered beneficial.
Those Evil sects have been thoroughly cleaned up, sparing them the extra effort to clear out these people in the future.
"Your Majesty, I urge caution regarding this matter, as the Boundary Breakers have provided information about them," another senior minister reported new intelligence.
In his view, those Boundary Breakers are true Outer Domain Sky Demons, but when it comes to the dynasty’s interests, the true name of Outer Domain Sky Demons falls upon the Dusk mercenaries.
After submitting the information provided by the Boundary Breakers, Li Changsheng’s expression grew serious, for among the Boundary Breakers there were indeed many formidable individuals, especially the once-appeared God Descenders.
The threat posed by them was even greater, otherwise, the Unified Imperial Dynasty wouldn’t be thinking to quit while ahead; as long as the threat is significant enough, even greater interests would prompt rationality.
Moreover, the Unified Imperial Dynasty has never underestimated the Great World behind the Boundary Breakers.
The Great World over there can allow people to invade other worlds, something far beyond the Unified Imperial Dynasty’s reach; however, if they were to grasp the Ancient Venerable... it would be different!
Encounter a Proxy Agent who could consider abandoning a task?
Although this was said before God Descenders arrived at the Great World, it also illustrated how formidable this Proxy Agent named ’Chang Qing’ was, such that the Great World over there placed tremendous importance ...
Then they really shouldn’t be underestimated.
"We can find someone to talk to, to delay time." Another minister spoke up, saying that using tactics like this is not disgraceful. The matters on the Ancient Immortal Mountain require some time, and while launching an attack could work, negotiations could buy more time.
Currently, the most crucial thing is the Ancient Venerable; other matters can take a back seat. Reputation? The Unified Imperial Dynasty has never lacked reputation. With the Ancient Venerable in hand, all other matters can be sidelined.
"Brother Chang Qing hasn’t arrived yet." In the Unified Dynasty Imperial City, Lin Yaoyao gazed at the magnificent city in the distance. They did not approach directly, as True Immortals guarded that area, and getting closer would expose them.
"Just wait." Liu Hongzhao continued adjusting her state; whether the dynasty has True Immortals or not affects whether they can make further progress or not.
Blood Asura fights to fuel battles; dealing with those small fry offers no room for improvement. Battling evenly matched opponents raises improvement speed, but breaking through the current realm requires more accumulation.
Dealing with beings like Demigods is no longer sufficient; in this world, there are no Supreme Demons, only Immortal Demons.
After reaching True Immortal, the nature of Immortal Demons becomes intertwined, and such beings in the world of magic can equate to True Gods.
They now belong to a demigod-like existence; to truly reach the level of Supreme Demon, Immortal Slayer is indispensable.
Zheng Yichen provided them blood that can be used as cultivation resources, but this blood wasn’t obtained from real battles, lacking the spirit of battle. Only by truly slaying strong foes can the gained blood energy help more in breakthrough.
Simply put, Zheng Yichen’s blood acts like an experience capsule, rapidly leveling them up but not allowing them to change jobs.
"Just a bit of anticipation... oh well, let’s wait patiently." Lin Yaoyao glanced around, wrapped in Tanshia Firlo’s Life Divine Domain.
The Life Divine Domain melded with the environment, erasing their presence. However, this divine domain was created by Tanshia Firlo using a protective sphere and couldn’t move, lest they reveal themselves.
"Boss, next stop is the Unified Dynasty Imperial City." Lilith’s figure appeared beside Zheng Yichen, waving her hand to display a projection of the imperial city.
This city was far larger than any major city inside the Misty City World, with shuttle vessels circling in its skies.
Several figures quickly approached Zheng Yichen from afar.
The battle nearly triggered when Zheng Yichen was about to reach the Unified Dynasty Imperial City; someone attempted to negotiate with him. For such negotiations, Zheng Yichen straightforwardly chose to ignore.
Zheng Yichen hardly had trust in the sincerity proclaimed by the Unified Imperial Dynasty; they simply have none!
As for negotiations, Zheng Yichen considered them merely delaying tactics, even if those proposing negotiations suggested collaborating to clear Boundary Breakers and clean up the Boundary Breaking Core.
Zheng Yichen found the suggestion nice, thus straightforwardly rejecting it. If the Unified Imperial Dynasty genuinely intended to handle the Boundary Breakers, why wait until now?
They’ve long been aware of the Boundary Breakers’ existence but still caused such issues; they are the root of the problem. Discussing this matter now, either is a deliberate delay or an attempt to use him as insurance to respond to unexpected situations.
He was arranged by Dusk to come here; do they expect him to seamlessly cooperate with the natives?
If such seamless cooperation were possible against Boundary Breakers, he wouldn’t be needed here. Dusk mercenaries could easily resolve the world’s problems.
Cooperation is impossible.
Thus, the Unified Imperial Dynasty switched to military interception due to the failed negotiation.
Zheng Yichen has fought his way here; unlike before, he was sought out this time.
However, regarding those interceptors coming for him, none qualified under his Mental Abnormality Perception, and he cleared them all.
After arriving in this world, the oath he set was slaughter; the stronger the enemy resolved, the more Oath Power accumulated. After efficiently clearing a large number of demonic and evil cultivators, he amassed a significant Oath Power.
This Oath Power was all stored inside the fishing rod enhanced with the Impartation Crystal. Though there was slight storage loss, it exchanged for more flexible usage conditions.
"Here they come." Zheng Yichen’s eyes blazing, he watched the several approaching silhouettes in the distance. They carried an aura akin to Supreme Demons, no, stronger compared to them.
The difference lay in that they didn’t possess Supreme Demons’ immortality.
The Unified Imperial Dynasty’s True Immortals were one of Zheng Yichen’s targets for coming here, treating these True Immortals as True Gods; there were plenty within the Unified Imperial Dynasty.
This wasn’t a secret; after all, the dynasty itself openly acknowledged some True Immortal existences, and the actual number is only higher.
Thus, Zheng Yichen didn’t want, after arriving at Ancient Immortal Mountain, while doing something big, suddenly dozens, hundreds of local True Immortals to pop up and hinder him.
For such foreseeable matters, how could he not resolve it beforehand?
Given the world’s situation, Zheng Yichen’s trust level in the native world’s officials was essentially zero!
In a world like Firmament Wheel, at least the local officials were deceived; this world, though aware of much information, stubbornly chose to err, trusting them slightly would be irresponsible!
"Unified Imperial Dynasty’s True Immortals, hahaha, let me see how capable you truly are at fighting!" Zheng Yichen laughed loudly, raising his hand to unfold Virtual Genesis, engulfing the newly landed True Immortals.
His objective was rapid resolution, not slow probing.
