"Now this is what flying is all about! I've wasted my life before!"
Zhao Dezheng had never experienced such an outrageous speed.
At first he was shouting and yelling, but after getting used to the high-speed flight, he gradually calmed down.
Zhao Dezheng clung to the "barrel" of the birdcage, looking down at the mountains and land rushing past.
Suddenly remembering something, he looked up and shouted to Li Yu above:
"Li Yu! Are we heading in the right direction?"
"Qiao Chuan and those other awakened individuals all said that the headquarters of the Longevity Sect is extremely well hidden, with special shielding and misleading methods, making it difficult to find its exact location!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yu kept her gaze fixed ahead and simply replied calmly:
"It can't be wrong."
His left golden eye gleamed slightly, locking onto the straight, extended thread that only he could see.
Zhao Dezheng was taken aback. Li Yu's answer meant that they would definitely be able to find the location of the Changshengmen headquarters.
He then grinned, a pure and radiant smile that showed no doubt whatsoever.
I actually felt a sense of unconditional trust in Li Yu.
......
Jincheng, military headquarters building.
Inside the operations command center, the lights were a cold, white.
A junior officer walked briskly through layers of security checks and stopped outside the gate.
As if sensing something inside, the door slid open silently.
The officer then went inside, stood at attention three meters behind a figure, and saluted.
"Report to the General: A major unexpected incident has occurred at the outer outpost of Changshengmen No. 003."
Upon hearing that something had happened at the Changshengmen stronghold, General Zhao Deyang of Zhongzhou's eyes flickered slightly. He slowly turned around, his brows etched with the marks of time and authority.
He knew that this number belonged to the Longevity Gate stronghold that had secretly cooperated with the Zhao family to prolong the lives of Zhao Dezheng and Zhao Jianan.
"Speak," Zhao Deyang said calmly.
The officer's words were concise and to the point:
"According to an emergency report from Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Lin of the Dragon Blade Special Forces, the stronghold had been completely destroyed when he arrived."
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the side door of the command room, and an awakened person dressed in Zhao family attire strode in.
He first nodded to the familiar lieutenant, then quickly walked to Zhao Deyang's side, lowering his voice and speaking very rapidly:
"General, I have just confirmed through the family bloodline connection that Zhao Jianan's life force has completely dissipated."
There is only one possibility for the breath to dissipate.
Zhao Jianan is dead.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Deyang's expression remained calm, even displaying undisguised indifference:
"Good riddance. He lived too long; he should have died long ago!"
"They've lived too long and their brains have become rigid. Do they really think that Jincheng is still ruled by these old bastards who only know how to eke out a living and suck the blood of their families?"
Although Zhao Deyang's face remained expressionless, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Zhao Jianan...it's good that he died!"
If these old guys don't die and continue like this, the Zhao family will be completely finished.
Even if he were the General of Zhongzhou, he couldn't save him.
But Zhao Deyang quickly realized that Zhao Jianan's death was due to an incident at the stronghold.
His gaze sharpened as he looked at the people from the Zhao family:
Where is Zhao Dezheng?
"Still alive!" the Zhao family member replied immediately, his tone even carrying a hint of surprise: "Not only is he alright, but his aura is even stronger."
Zhao Deyang's tense shoulders relaxed almost imperceptibly, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
He waved his hand: "I understand, you can go now."
"yes."
Zhao Deyang's thoughts were quickly replaced by deeper reflections.
After the Zhao family left, the officer who had been waiting patiently stepped forward again:
"General, although young master Zhao Dezheng is safe and sound, he insists on going to the Changshengmen headquarters with Li Yu."
"It seems that..."
"Going to the Changshengmen headquarters with Li Yu?" Zhao Deyang raised an eyebrow, a clear look of surprise appearing in his eyes for the first time.
Li Yu?
How did his troublesome younger brother suddenly get involved with Li Yu?
Moreover, as far as he knew, Li Yu, as one of the Star Lords, should have gone to exterminate the Deep Sea Watchers, so why did he return so quickly?
It turns out his news is lagging behind.
Tianlong's arrangements seemed to have taken an unexpected turn.
What exactly is Tianlong thinking...?
"Explain in detail."
Zhao Deyang sat down directly, leaned back in the large command chair, and placed his hands together on his abdomen, tapping them lightly.
The officer dared not delay and recounted all the information Zhao Lin had sent back regarding what had happened at the stronghold.
Zhao Deyang narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this.
Li Yu's purpose in going to the Changsheng Sect headquarters is not hard to guess; it's either to eliminate any potential threats or to search for something.
Regardless of his ultimate goal, this is very much in line with his identity as a "hero of the Central Plains" and his style of doing things.
But what kind of place is the headquarters of the Changsheng Sect?
Only Zhao Dezheng's abnormal mental state would allow him to go with Li Yu.
Any normal person who can seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and who uses their brain even a little, would never get involved in this mess.
My younger brother... he's been lying in bed for so long that his brain is burning up more and more, and he's become completely reckless.
They're all grown up, yet they act like young people, not knowing what's important or urgent, still relying on intuition to do things, and going down a single, straightforward path to the end.
The thought of Zhao Dezheng, who never grew up, made Zhao Deyang's vision go black, and he involuntarily closed his eyes.
Li Yu....
Zhao Deyang's thoughts drifted back to the border defense line.
After he and Li Yu separated at the defense line, he left with Wang Tianzhao, but he had been secretly keeping an eye on the young man all along.
Li Yuneng led that group of inconspicuous refugees all the way into Zhongzhou, eventually becoming a Star Lord and settling in Kangcheng.
