What was Tianlong thinking? His arrangements seemed to have taken an unexpected turn.
This person's thoughts seem clear, but are actually hard to fathom.
Zhao Deyang sat down directly, leaned back in his chair, and gently tapped his abdomen with his hands clasped together.
"Explain in detail."
The lieutenant dared not delay and continued his report:
"The small orbital cannon inside the base has been confirmed to be missing. Zhao Dezheng claims he destroyed it, but Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Lin judges that it may have actually been moved by Li Yu..."
The officer then recounted in its entirety the information Zhao Lin had sent back regarding what had happened at the base.
Zhao Deyang narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this.
It's a hundred times better for Li Yu to take the Star Orbit Cannon than for it to be in the hands of those old fogies.
Li Yu's subsequent trip to the Changshengmen headquarters is not hard to guess; it's either to eliminate any potential threats or to search for some core secret.
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.
However, a hint of wariness flashed in Zhao Deyang's eyes.
What kind of place is the headquarters of the Changsheng Sect?
That was not the den of a rabble, but a behemoth that had been operating for decades!
It's not something that Li Yu alone can completely eradicate.
If it were really that easy to 'remove' him, a general of Zhongzhou who holds military power, would he still be able to exist today?
Zhao Deyang knew better than anyone the resistance, backlash, and risks involved.
Only someone with Zhao Dezheng's abnormal mind would dare to follow Li Yu without any regard for the consequences.
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 has been bedridden for so long that the string in his brain has been burned more and more, and he's becoming increasingly erratic.
Even though they're all grown up, they still act the same way they did in their youth, relying on intuition, not knowing what's important or urgent, and going down a single, uncompromising path.
The thought of his younger brother who never grew up gave Zhao Deyang a familiar headache, and his vision blurred. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples hard with his fingers.
Li Yu....
Zhao Deyang's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the border defense line he once knew.
When he left with Wang Tianzhao, after separating from Li Yu at the defense line, he had actually been secretly keeping an eye on this young man.
Li Yuneng led that group of inconspicuous refugees all the way into Zhongzhou, eventually becoming a Star Lord and settling in Kangcheng.
Every step was nothing short of a miracle.
Such an incredible growth rate is beyond everyone's imagination.
Even he was wrong; he never expected Li Yu's talent to be even stronger than Wang Tianzhao's.
However, Wang Tianzhao and he have similar light-based abilities, which allows him to teach and pass on his knowledge better, so choosing Wang Tianzhao was not a mistake.
What he was more curious about was that after returning from that trip, the Xu family had been secretly and tirelessly promoting Li Yu's fame.
The title of "Hero of Zhongzhou" was also deliberately created by the Xu family to elevate Li Yu to a high position.
But he knew that the Xu family would never do a losing business.
What exactly did the Xu family see in Li Yu that led them to go to such lengths to create momentum?
Or rather, what do you want to achieve by using Li Yu?
Zhao Deyang suddenly recalled Li Yu's appearance back then, like a sharp arrow hidden in coarse cloth, blunt and clumsy, yet with a terrifying sharpness.
At this moment, Li Yu's arrow had reached its most dazzling point.
It seems that this vagrant boy has unknowingly become the focus of attention, both overt and covert, for various forces, and is deeply 'favored' by various families.
Zhao Deyang snapped out of his reverie and fell into deeper thought, his fingertips lightly tapping the table.
"The Gate of Immortality..."
His eyes darkened as he thought of the organization.
Even if Li Yu's strength is extraordinary and his growth rate is terrifying, he alone is no match for him.
It is virtually impossible to directly shake the deeply rooted and complex headquarters of the Changsheng Sect.
It was a massive, malignant tumor parasitizing the body of Zhongzhou, and its influence was felt throughout the entire body.
but……
Zhao Deyang chuckled softly, his eyes filled with profound meaning.
What if he completely muddies up this pool of water?
Then, by using Li Yu as a sharp arrow, coupled with his identity as the Star Lord of Zhongzhou, they secretly mobilized some forces that were already dissatisfied with the Changsheng Sect to cooperate.
Perhaps he can really use Li Yu to completely eliminate this long-standing cancer.
"interesting."
"This game is getting more and more interesting."
Zhao Deyang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning.
The slight headache and helplessness caused by Zhao Dezheng vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp and cold control over the entire situation, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes:
"Pass on the order."
Zhao Deyang's voice also regained its usual calmness and authority:
"First, in my name, I will openly contact Tianlong to 'remind' him that many people are paying attention to Li Yu's movements."
Zhao Deyang paused, then continued speaking to himself:
“Those old fogies who rely on that place to prolong their lives don’t care if you are the Central Plains Star Lord or not. Cutting off someone’s path to wealth is like killing their parents, and cutting off their path to life is a fight to the death.”
"It won't be easy to kill them."
Zhao Deyang's voice suddenly turned cold:
"Secondly, do not suppress the news that Li Yu went to the Changshengmen headquarters."
"On the contrary, we must spread the word. We must send many people to inform the families in Jincheng whose interests have been harmed and who have long had grudges against us, so that they all know about this."
He paused briefly, his gaze falling on the lieutenant's face, and emphasized:
“Especially the Xu family. They’ve been praising Li Yu so highly. Now that this great ‘hero’ is going to single-handedly destroy the largest ‘devil’s den’ in Zhongzhou, the Xu family can’t just stand by and watch, can they?”
