Chapter 235 Deal

“Enter the capital to meet the emperor?” Ou Yangming’s face took on a strange expression.

The emperor was the present monarch. All lands in the world belonged to the emperor, and everyone in the world was the emperor’s people.

In other words, whether it was Ou Yangming, Li Xinfan, or the Ni family, which was a superb clan, they were all the emperor’s subjects.

Needless to say, in a world where the strong was revered, great ancestors, whose cultivation bases were at Extreme Grade, had a certain immunity from prosecution such that some even ignored imperial power.

Nonetheless, a nominal ruler in the world was enough to be wors.h.i.+pped.

Li Xinfan nodded slowly and explained, “I suggest you meet the emperor because I’m considering the world. By now, you should know the reason the Immense Forest Military Camp was built, right?”

Ou Yangming hesitated and answered, “The disaster of being attacked by ferocious beasts.”

“Yes. Each time the beast tide occurs, it’ll be a huge disaster, and the disaster isn’t limited to Changlong and Linlang only.” Li Xinfan sighed.

“Do other places have it too?” Ou Yangming asked as he was surprised.

Li Xinfan nodded seriously. “The Wu Dynasty has eight counties; the imperial family from the capital keeps watch in the middle while the eight counties prevent attacks from the four directions because every direction has a disaster.”

Ou Yangming’s heart pounded because he could tell from Li Xinfan’s facial expression that the disasters from the three other directions were not any better than the one faced by Changlong and Linlang. “General, why are the Humans faced with these disasters?” Ou Yangming asked with a deep voice.

“I don’t know. Perhaps we’re just bound to face the disaster that happens once in a hundred years,” Li Xinfan answered with a bitter smile.

Seeing as Li Xinfan looked gloomy, Ou Yangming comforted him, “General, the Humans got through the disasters for many years, so we’ll definitely be able to overcome it this time as well.”

“We’ll be victorious, but each time the disaster happens, our vitalities will be drained. That said, the situation will be completely different this time because we have you.” Li Xinfan smiled abruptly and raised his voice. “The molds that are forged by you can increase the military’s strength on a large scale. Hehe, this time, we must let them have a taste of our power!”

Ou Yangming responded softly, “General, I only did what I should do.”

“I’m glad you’re not claiming credit and being arrogant, but people from later generations will a.s.sess if it’s a merit or a demerit, so you don’t need to be so humble.” Li Xinfan could not help but laugh, then he looked at Ou Yangming with a serious face. “I’m inviting you to the capital to meet the emperor so that you can promote the molds there for everyone in the world to use.”

Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched. “General, I’ve smithed the Rune Molds, so you just need to get Runes Masters and blacksmiths to imitate the references, and there shouldn’t be a big difference. As for entering the capital to meet the emperor… I don’t think it’s necessary.”

If he had his heart set on progressing in the military, meeting the emperor would unquestionably be a shortcut, but his mind was no longer in the military.

Li Xinfan pondered for a while and asked, “Master Ou, do you know why the imperial family keeps watch in the center?”

Ou Yangming was startled. “No, I don’t.”

“The imperial family is situated in the center to provide support to any of the directions at any time. If any of the defenses fail, powerhouses from the imperial family will make a move.”

“Did Humans ever fail?” Ou Yangming’s face changed.

“Yes!” Li Xinfan answered without any hesitation, “Throughout a thousand years, we resisted disasters from different sides many times. Although every county has a trump card, there were times when we failed, only then will powerhouses from the imperial family step out to clean up the mess. Heh, in the past generations, numerous powerhouses from the imperial family have died because of the disasters; even a Saint who surpa.s.sed Extreme Grade had fallen as a result.”

Ou Yangming’s heart skipped a beat. “A Saint who surpa.s.sed Extreme Grade? Did a person like that exist in the imperial family?”

Li Xinfan smiled faintly. “Yes, among Humans, the imperial family is the only one that can guarantee a powerhouse like that in the past generations.”

Ou Yangming was deeply moved, and his eyes lit up.

He had been thinking hard for a way to kill the spirit beast, but he felt hopeless at the thought of the spirit beast being superior to a Supreme Great Ancestor.

A spirit beast was a powerhouse that did not belong to this world. It was just like a magic tool, which was shackled by the world’s power, and the mighty divine weapon could not be smithed through normal means.

Ou Yangming knew very well the great destructive power of a magic tool on a piece of equipment at the peak of Fine Grade.

What about spirit beasts?

Would it be easy for them to kill Supreme Great Ancestors?

Therefore, while Ou Yangming pledged, he did not have a specific implementation direction to complete it.

Now, he vaguely saw silver lightning.

A power that was beyond a Supreme Great Ancestor was the only thing that could resist a spirit beast. In that case, could Ou Yangming find the answer from the imperial family?

The young fellow looked up and expressed, “General, I’m willing to enter the capital to meet the emperor.”

“Okay!” Li Xinfan laughed out loud. “Master Ou, the Humans will be blessed if you could quickly spread the method of smithing molds to the rest of the world.”
