Chapter 402 Levenbeck's Anger, a Storm Brewing
Is Qinglong waiting for me?
Levenbeck's heart palpitated slightly as this thought subconsciously emerged in his mind, followed by the uneasiness of a nocturnal creature being exposed to the sun.
Qinglong actually knows of my existence?
His thoughts were boiling. Although he was also surprised and confused by Qinglong's attack before, he did not think that his identity had been seen through. He was more worried that the blood sacrifice might be exposed.
But now, it has affected him.
Could it be that the guess that I least want to believe is true?
Levenbeck thought a lot at this moment. His existence should be secret and unknown to others.
Even if someone was investigating him, it would be impossible to find out anything in such a short time, let alone know the true identity of his body. This was his confidence.
But the appearance of Qinglong shattered his confidence. This body was not his real body, so it would not be a big deal even if he was caught.
What made him feel uneasy was the lot of information contained behind it.
But he had seen many storms and soon suppressed his anxiety and prepared to face the mysterious Azure Dragon.
Perhaps, he could get a lot of information from him, and even verify the guess that made him tremble.
Is Qinglong his teacher?
A master craftsman cannot appear for no reason. Others have speculations, and so does he.
The possibility that he is his teacher is quite high.
This body is just a special alchemical carrier, and it is manufactured in a special way. Even if it is erased, although it is painful, it is not a big loss.
This is also his greatest reliance, so let's have some fun with this Lord Qinglong and see whose methods are more sophisticated!
Levenbeck restrained his expression and looked calm. He looked at the Tanwei gradually emerging in the void, and a trace of spiritual fluctuations also spread out. "I didn't expect that I would meet you under such circumstances."
"Huh? Mental fluctuations? Interesting. The teacher asked me to stay just in case, but I didn't expect to actually catch a big fish."
The feedback of mental fluctuations made Levenbeck's calm expression gradually stiffen.
The other party is not Qinglong, it’s Li Ming!
And you don’t know my identity! ?
He was a little confused, but he immediately sorted out his thoughts and understood what was going on, and then felt a little angry and unnatural.
He reacted. The appearance of those mechanical bodies made him subconsciously think that Qinglong had arrived and that his resurrection had been caught again. Naturally, he guessed that Qinglong was waiting for him.
But now, Li Ming's reaction made him understand that Qinglong didn't know his existence at all, and just asked his students to ensure that everything was safe and stay to clean up the mess.
However, he accidentally exposed the special features of this body, and his previous series of thoughts created enemies out of thin air.
An air bubble popped up, covering the two of them, the tank disintegrated, and Li Ming's face appeared in front of him, looking him up and down with a scrutinizing look.
"Who are you? You can actually come back to life..."
Li Ming pretended to be confused and was not prepared to reveal the other party's identity.
He understood that this body was definitely not the other party's real body. If he revealed the other party's identity, it would mean that Qinglong already knew everything.
There will be many chain reactions. He is not sure if he can trap the other party's consciousness, and it is not the time to confront him yet.
But he was also really surprised. He had already thought that the other party would be smashed to pieces, but out of respect for Levenbeck, he stayed and waited.
I didn't expect there would be such an unexpected gain. To multiply a drop of blood into a living organism, this method is quite impressive.
Moreover, the way that drop of blood appeared was also extremely special. It almost came into being from nothing in the form of molecular structure reorganization, as if this drop of blood was engraved in the universe.
No matter what, this drop of blood will reappear and then multiply into a body.
"I..." Levenbeck's face flickered. Although he was annoyed at being tricked, the best outcome was that his identity was not exposed.
He could escape at any time, so he was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Qinglong with some scrutiny. The other party was not as scary as he imagined.
He also wanted to know how much Qinglong knew, and whether the attack was because the blood sacrifice was discovered, or for some other reason.
He even had some thoughts about Li Ming in front of him. This seemed to be a godsend opportunity.
"I'm Ryan's staff member." Having just revealed his extraordinary abilities, it would be inappropriate to act like a grandson now. Levenbeck said in a deep voice:
"Does Qinglong know what he's doing? He attacked the Empire's S-class lifeforms for no reason and even killed the Star-Devouring Hell Dragon. Is he trying to start a war against the Empire?"
It's the standard bureaucratic intimidation tone, and it's quite convincing.
Li Ming scoffed, "Alright, I'm tired of hearing that kind of talk."
"I'd like to ask you, who allowed Ryan to interfere in regional war events? He even sent his own men to interfere with the outcome of the war. Is he the only one allowed to interfere, and no one else is allowed to?"
"This kind of thing cannot be made public, no matter how many people die, no one will be held accountable."
Li Ming spoke confidently, and Levenbeck's heart was slightly moved. "It's not because of me, nor because of the blood sacrifice, but because of our interference with the battlefield..."
"It was really Tsathoggua who asked Qinglong to take action? No, it was Prince Kostarte!"
Combining the information currently available, an answer is about to emerge. Tsathoggua discovered Thor and others who were secretly involved, and then reported it to Prince Costat.
There is still a game of power going on within the empire. Prince Costat revealed this news to Qinglong with the idea of weakening Ryan's strength. Qinglong and Ryan already have a grudge, so naturally he would not miss this great opportunity, so he took a strong action?
This possibility was quite high, and Levenbeck felt relieved again.
All the warships had been blown to pieces and their data had disappeared in the recent battle. Since the blood sacrifice had not been discovered yet, there was no need to rush.
"Did Kostart ask you to come?" Levenbeck suddenly asked. Li Ming was shocked and then stunned for a moment, but it was quickly covered up.
Levenbeck noticed the other party's reaction and became more certain of his guess. "It seems that I guessed right."
Li Ming snorted coldly, his expression changing to look a bit angry and embarrassed: "Sure enough, he is not a simple person. I want to see how long you can remain calm!"
Mechanical guards appeared, put genetic suppression shackles on him, and kept close watch on him.
Levenbeck looked around but did not see Garrett and Thor.
Was he beaten to death? He pondered in his heart. If so, the last possibility of exposing his identity would be gone.
After flying across the sky with Li Ming for several hours, they finally entered a warship hovering in the starry sky.
The hatch opened, Robin and Ford were waiting here, seeing Li Ming come in, they couldn't wait to ask: "How..."
Ford only managed to utter one word before he caught sight of the naked strange man following closely behind him, and the rest of his words were choked back in his mouth.
But he also slowly let out a breath. This guy was captured alive, so this raid should be fine.
Li Ming waved his hand, and King Zhentian took the man away. After the strange man left completely, Ford whispered, "What's going on with this guy?"
"This person is not simple. You should stay away from the prison area." Li Ming warned. Robin couldn't help but look back at the empty corridor. There were not many people who could be said to be simple by Li Ming.
At this moment, the hatch opened again, and several guards escorted Thor and Garrett back. Of course, they were not dead yet.
In order to avoid Levenbeck becoming alert, he deliberately went back from another direction.
The two watched as Li Ming dealt with the person and detained him in another place.
Ford seemed a little hesitant and asked, "What should we do next?"
This attack doesn't mean the whole thing is over. Clean up these people, and there are others.
It is even possible that Prince Ryan will come in person. The attack is not the end, but the beginning. How it ends is the top priority.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Li Ming just said soothingly, and then said: "Tell Asmara to send me the coordinates of all the hematomas later."
Ford was shocked and didn't know what Li Ming was going to do, but he couldn't get off the boat anymore. He nodded solemnly and left.
Robin looked very curious and had a lot of questions to ask.
After saying a few perfunctory words, Li Ming returned to the room and took it from the hands of King Zhentian who followed closely behind him.
After taking over the Star-Swallowing Prison Dragon, it had already turned into a corpse, and the remaining vitality also dissipated while Li Ming waited.
It looks like just a small snake, but its internal density is even more terrifying than that of a white dwarf. It is so heavy that it even causes the space around it to be slightly distorted.
If he didn't use any help, Li Ming felt that he couldn't lift it.
Open the Black Hole Network, log in to Qinglong's account, and then enter a series of accounts in the search bar.
A user pops up and sends a friend request, filling in the note: Qinglong.
The other party is the master of gene modulation - Sheffield, the boss of Yeyue Biological Company, and an X-level life form.
Li Ming had obtained his Black Hole Network account through channels a long time ago, but he had never added it.
Then, he put down the smart terminal temporarily and thought about the next plan. He understood Ford's worries.
It is also clear that this attack has disrupted the plans and arrangements of many people, and there may be a series of unpredictable actions.
At the same time, the modulation of gene seeds also needs to wait.
Therefore, he needed to delay the attack from being exposed as much as possible to buy himself enough time.
Huh, he let out a breath, time is running out.
He made a simple estimate before taking action and was able to roughly determine several directions.
First of all, we need to calm Ryan down and keep what's happening here secret.
It's difficult to explain, but this was a secret operation and Ryan didn't have many sources.
Xavier's side...
Halfway through my thoughts, my smart terminal suddenly vibrated. I turned around and saw that my friend request had been approved?
"These big guys are online 24/7, right..." Li Ming was speechless, temporarily suppressing the thoughts in his mind.
The other party had already sent him a message, "Sir Qinglong?"
"Mr. Sheffield, it's me." Li Ming replied.
"You're welcome. May I ask if it's convenient for you to have a video call now?"
This is to verify his identity. Sheffield's Black Hole Network account could not be known by ordinary people, but it is impossible to believe that he is Qinglong just because of a note.
This was also Li Ming's idea, so he simply initiated a video communication request.
The call was connected in a moment, and a thin interstellar human appeared on the virtual screen that popped up. He had high cheekbones, narrow cheeks, and deep shadows on both sides of his nose. He looked quite gloomy, but had a kind smile.
"Your Excellency Qinglong." Sheffield's eyes flashed with scrutiny, and he smiled, "I've heard of your great name for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet you again today."
The two of them didn't interact much, and the other party was still suspicious. Li Ming didn't say much and got to the point: "I contacted you out of the blue this time because I want to do business."
"Conditioning gene seeds?" Sheffield said naturally, with most of the doubt in his eyes dissipated. To formulate gene seeds, he had to pay him first, so there was naturally no need to deceive him.
Li Ming couldn't help but nodded: "Not bad."
"X-class gene seed?" Sheffield pondered. "There are almost no X-class life forms active in the interstellar space. Do you think..."
"No, you misunderstood. It's an S-level gene seed." Li Ming interrupted.
"S-level?" Sheffield's interest faded a lot.
I subconsciously guessed that it was prepared for Li Ming?
No, even if we prepare for a rainy day, it's too early.
To himself?
Well, maybe there are other people on his side… Sheffield thought to himself, but he still remained polite. "Then I'll send you the quotation and give you a 20% discount. What do you think?"
"I will provide you with raw materials." Li Ming shook his head again.
"Is that so..." Sheffield was even more disappointed.
This way I'll earn less and I'll have to give them a discount. Are they looking for me just for this little bit of business?
"Then you can just send the raw materials directly to the headquarters." Sheffield still maintained a gentle attitude.
"However, the biological raw materials I provide are a bit special." Li Ming's eyes flashed.
"Special?" Sheffield frowned. "Is the damage too severe? As long as the integrity is at least 65%, it's fine."
"Have you ever seen this life form?" Li Ming held up the Star-Swallowing Prison Dragon in his hand.
"This thing?" Sheffield was a little confused at first glance, and then his eyes flickered.
This slender, snake-like creature looked like it was burnt all over, and there were not many external features that could be identified, but with his keen eyesight, he was still able to capture quite a few traces.
"Sky Devouring Phantom Serpent..." Sheffield said in a deep voice, "Is this the Star Devouring Phantom Dragon raised by the Empire?"
He felt uneasy. The coordinates of this thing should be the core of the core. How could Qinglong get one?
This thing has many names, but they all point to this.
"Please take another look..." Li Ming shook his head and pulled the head over deliberately.
Sheffield frowned, his pupils suddenly constricting. "It has two horns on its head, its scales are octagonal, and those are derived limbs under its belly? There are traces of scales and feathers on its tail. Is this a variant of the Star-Swallowing Hell Dragon?!"
"Good eyesight!" Li Ming exclaimed.
"This..." Sheffield's expression changed, and he felt very uneasy. "Where did you get it from?"
"Yeyue Biological Company still cares about these things?" Li Ming smiled.
