When Li Buyi saw the solemn expressions on everyone’s faces, to alleviate the atmosphere, he changed the topic and asked Miao Xu, “Junior Sister, was there any news when you monitored the Golden Crow at the Endless Eastern Sea?”
“Senior Brother, after the Fire God was killed by the Golden Crow, the other five paramount totem elite warriors did not dare to let their guards down. However, clearly the Golden Crow is acting with an extremely low-profile and is no longer appearing. The five paramount elite warriors were unable to find the Golden Crow after searching all corners of the Endless Eastern Sea.”
“Does that mean you also did not find the tracks of the Golden Crow?” Li Buyi’s tone was extremely solemn.
“Senior Brother, that Golden Crow must specialize in an immemorial secret technique and has a special way to stay in hiding. For now I cannot track him.”
Li Buyi nodded. “According to junior brother’s speculation and my own, perhaps this Golden Crow is related to those undercover foreign agents from thousands of years ago. Everyone try to think back, when was the earliest that Golden Crow appeared to wreak havoc among the Tian Xuan Land?”
Xiao Yixuan was usually the mature one. He was frowning slightly. “Speaking of this, when the Golden Crows appeared in the immemorial age, no one knew of their background. Everyone said that after days and nights of nurturing, the essence of the sun and the water of the Rushing Current Valley formed ten Golden Crows. As for the truth, not many gods from the immemorial period knew anything otherwise.”
A brush of solemn murderous intentions emerged on Hua Xiyue’s handsome face. “Senior Brother, in terms of making assumptions here, I should go and kill that Golden Crow at once. It’s better than just remaining suspicious.”
This was not just big talk. Those totem paramount warriors exhausted their efforts while dealing with the Golden Crow, but they were just playing around. If Hua Xiyue were to step out, it would be a piece of cake to kill the Golden Crow with his power at the Second Calamity of the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage.
Since the newly reincarnated Golden Crow was unable to break through the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage due to the restriction of the current rules in the Tian Xuan Land, this was the reason it was unable to take care of the totem paramount elite warriors.
However, although Golden Crow could not break through the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage, the inherited immemorial bloodline gave him astonishing power. He has power that surpasses the totem elite warriors.
Li Buyi looked at Hua Xiyue and he contained a smile in the corner of his mouth. He looked at everyone and said, “Fifth is still this incisive. How does everyone feel about making a move against the Golden Crow?”
Chi Hengyu chuckled. “If Senior Brother Fifth makes a move, certainly the Golden Crow will offer its neck to be killed. However, I feel it’s not worthy to kill him now.”
“Hm? Why do you say this?” Li Buyi revealed a faint smile as if he were to test this Sixth Junior Brother. Do not look at how each of these Junior Brothers were martial artists aged thousands of years, they were extremely naive. In addition to Li Buyi and Xiao Yixuan and a few other high ranking martial artists who were mature and reputable martial artists before selected by teacher Li Xuanfeng, the others were new talent. They lacked that form of rigorous thought and deep foresight in their personality.
In the past tens of thousands of years, amongst the Heavenly Mysterious Seven Disciples, besides Li Buyi and Miao Xu who were qualified to step into the secular world, the other people had their own roles and did not get much exercise in terms of worldly wisdom. Therefore, in all these years, they gained much insight with their training, yet had a rather blank page in the practice of interacting with others. After all, they did not have experience in interacting with others, only themselves.
Chi Hengyu still had that polite smile on his face as he said, “Senior Brothers, I feel that regardless if that Golden Crow is a monster from the foreign tribe or not, it’s not appropriate to make a move. If he is a foreign member, he must be some kind of a leader. If we make a move against him in this crucial moment, the other undercover agents will certainly hide from the news. This will increase the difficulty for our investigation. If he’s not part of the undercover agents, killing the Golden Crow is the same as reducing the power of the Tian Xuan Land. Once the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier is breached, perhaps those totem paramount elite warriors will not break into the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage soon, but he will be on the spot.”
The Soaring of Galaxia Barrier is the only restraint for those elite warriors being unable to soar to the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. For tens and thousands of years, Li Buyi and the others were unable to achieve a breakthrough due to the influence of this barrier. However, their teacher Li Xuanfeng left them the secret starry technique. Therefore, despite not being able to achieve a breakthrough in terms of stages, they were able to keep increasing their combat power.
This allowed them to not remain idle.
Li Buyi laughed and turned to ask the others, “What about you guys? Speak your mind.”
Since Xiao Yixuan was the Second Senior Brother, he held the most authority to speak. He said with a low voice, “We can kill the Golden Crow at any moment. It’s too soon to make a move now. However, I do feel we should not wait until after the opening of the God Discarding Door.”
At this moment, it was only three months until the opening of the God Discarding Door.
Hua Xiyue raised his brow and looked at Li Buyi. “Senior Brother, three months will arrive soon. For this opening, we must not allow the spy of the foreign tribe to get in. How about let’s set three months as a deadline, and then let me kill that Golden Crow.”
“Senior Brother, let me go with him.” Chi Hengyu volunteered.
“Ha ha, Senior Brother, Fifth and Sixth have restrained themselves for thousands of years, I think we can let them move around a bit. Regardless, even if we are not to kill it, we should control it. Before the opening of the God Discarding Door, we must not let him have any chance of messing things up,” Third Li Yifeng finally opened his mouth and said.
Of course, Miao Xu agreed with her husband. “Third is right, even if we do not kill Golden Crow, we must control it. We cannot allow him to cause trouble at the God Discarding Door.”
With a strange and hot temper, Yi Chongtian shouted. “Fourth, Fifth, as this Golden Crow incites trouble, if he provokes you or wants to escape, you can just kill him off. No need to say anything.”
Hua Xiyue said with an indifferent tone, “He will not escape.”
Chi Hengyu laughed. Although he did not say anything, the confidence in his smile was extremely clear.
Li Buyi made the final decision. “Alright, this is settled. Fourth, Fifth, you must be clean and crisp when dealing with this matter. You must not let it drag on.”
Hua Xiyue and Chi Hengyu nodded.
Xiao Yixuan changed the topic, “Boss, for the opening of the God Discarding Door, is there any good talent from the totem clans?”
“It’s the usual, besides Junior Brother as a surprise. For now I did not see any exceptional talents. However, since we’ve opened the highest level in the maze, we can expect something from those paramount totem elite warriors. I only hoped that the Tian Xuan Land could have more Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors. By that time, even if we must face the foreign tribes, we will have more hope,” Li Buyi said with a deep tone, completely different from that frivolous martial artist from before. Instead, he carried a grand universal feeling.
The more Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors that the Tian Xuan Land had, the higher the capital and the price the foreign tribes would spend to invade them. In this case, to the enemies, it would also be a gamble. It will depend on whether they were willing to spend a cut throat price to conquer the Tian Xuan Land or not.
They must consider whether the amount of gains they would get would equal the amount of sacrifice.
Li Yifeng laughed. “Senior Brother, before Junior Brother appeared, I was worried for the fate of the Tian Xuan Land. Now, I am more at ease. I firmly believe that the situation setup by the teacher in the past has given the Tian Xuan Land a chance to survive in this crisis!”
“Third is right. I also feel that although teacher plundered into our plane by accident, I see that he harbors feelings for the Tian Xuan Land. Or else, he would not have paid such a big price to help us. Unfortunately, his divine soul still shattered. If Teacher were still alive, I believe those foreign invaders would be helpless before him,” Chi Hengyu said.
When everyone talked about their teacher Li Xuanfeng, a dim expression appeared on their faces as they were ruefully moved. Although many years had passed, the transformation they received from their teacher and the hope bestowed onto them still made them feel endlessly grateful.
“Senior Brother, in the past, despite suffering severe injuries on his divine soul, teacher could still exploit the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation. He truly possessed remarkable abilities. If he were not injured, how could those bastards resist his power?”
Li Buyi shook his head helplessly. “Everyone, don’t forget, Teacher was also pursued. He had many restraints of fears. Or else, even if his divine soul were injured, the foreign tribes might not be qualified to fight him.”
“Ah, with his immense power, just who would be capable of pursuing him?”
Li Buyi waved his hand. “Let’s not worry about this matter. To speak bluntly, we are teacher’s emissaries. We must straighten our attitudes. Junior Brother is the true inheritor to the formation. We must pave the way for him. He is the key to solve the crisis of the Tian Xuan Land.”
“Yes.” Everyone nodded reasonably. It was the responsibility they remembered by heart for the past thousands of years.
Li Yifeng looked at the boundless sky filled with stars and he could not refrain from smiling. “After being alone for all this time, I am looking forward to it. Junior brother, you must not disappoint us.”
Suddenly, Li Buyi shot a glance at Li Yifeng and Miao Xu. Again, he restored his frivolous tone, “Third, among the seven of us, you are not qualified to be lonely. At least, you have the Seventh Sister, we are all single.”
Everyone roared with laughter. “Yes, Third, if you are saying you are lonely, we will not let you go.”
Li Yifeng said with a wry smile, “Alright, you are all lonelier than me. When Junior Brother achieves his accomplishment and leads everyone to chase away the invaders, I will certainly choose a few companions for you all. Ha ha ha!”
Xiao Yixuan said with a profound tone, “I truly hope we are still alive by that time.”
The battle with the foreign tribes will be a life and death ordeal. Thousands of years ago, countless immemorial elite warriors scarified their lives. By that time, there were more than hundreds of Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors and there were close to two hundred at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage.
Yet as a result, they still used the most tragic and stirring way to barely protect a trace of hope for the Tian Xuan Land.
Therefore, even though Junior Brother was growing at a rapid speed, they were well aware that they did not have any reason to be proud. This battle will be tougher than the one in the past.
Of course, as the will to fight remains, hope will always be present.
