Under Li Xiaoyao's threat of "Sword Come."
Ye Qiye became completely obedient.
He put away his previous "cynicism" and "wicked charm and arrogance."
He stood respectfully before Li Xiaoyao like a naughty primary school student and explained.
"Third Senior Brother, the situation is like this. I sensed three innate stars moving at high speed, guarded by powerful Nascent Soul auras. If we rashly chase them, the chance of obtaining them is not high!"
"However, within the imperial city, I can sense a place that contains a dense aura of innate stars. This indicates that the three innate stars were hidden there for a very long time!"
"My idea is, we go undercover there first. When the three innate stars are brought back, and the time is almost ripe, we can then make our move to seize them."
Li Xiaoyao frowned and pondered carefully.
He had to admit that Ye Qiye's statement made sense.
Those three "innate stars" were definitely in the hands of the "Imperial Faction's" "Nascent Soul Old Ancestors."
Those "Nascent Soul Old Ancestors" might have missions to attend to. They moved at high speeds, from east to west, their whereabouts unpredictable. It was too difficult to track them!
And even if they caught up, it would be useless.
With their strength, facing one "Nascent Soul Old Ancestor" and launching a surprise attack, they might have a chance to kill them and seize the "innate stars."
But if they truly faced three "Nascent Soul Old Ancestors," then it would be game over.
Li Xiaoyao's "Sword Come" was very powerful. When fully activated, it could kill one "Nascent Soul Old Ancestor."
One down, two left.
The opponent was a "Nascent Soul Old Ancestor."
Once they recovered and activated their "divine sense," they could directly reverse the situation and force Li Xiaoyao to look up.
According to Ye Qiye's plan, they would first infiltrate the enemy's stronghold, secretly build their influence, and wait for the three "Nascent Soul Old Ancestors" to complete their mission and return. At that time, the three "Nascent Soul Old Ancestors" would surely be exhausted, and their vigilance greatly reduced.
Seizing the three "innate stars" at such a moment would naturally be the easiest!
"Hmm, where is that place?"
Li Xiaoyao asked.
Ye Qiye chuckled.
He pointed in the direction of the "Imperial Observatory" and said.
"Reporting to Third Senior Brother, that place is the Imperial Observatory of the Great Xin Dynasty. It's a real dragon's lair. Do you dare to go undercover?"
Li Xiaoyao's reaction was calm. He said indifferently.
"Don't try to provoke me with such words. If I, Li Xiaoyao, harbored even a trace of fear, I wouldn't have comprehended Sword Come!"
At this moment, Li Xiaoyao's aura suddenly changed.
He was like a peerless sword drawn from its scabbard, his sharpness fully revealed, his powerful aura almost becoming tangible.
He said loudly.
"Let's go, we're going to the Imperial Observatory!"
The group of four soon arrived at the "Imperial Observatory."
The "Imperial Observatory" was currently in chaos.
His Majesty Emperor "Wang Gebi" was severely injured, and various "imperial physicians" were doing their best to save "Wang Gebi's" life.
Unfortunately, "Wang Gebi's" injury was no ordinary one. He was injured by the "Power of the Bitter Sea."
As the saying goes, "The sea of suffering is boundless!"
To recover quickly from an injury sustained from the "Power of the Bitter Sea" was impossible!
Despite all the efforts of the "imperial physicians," "Wang Gebi" still gritted his teeth, his eyes tightly shut, completely unconscious, with no sign of waking.
The leading "Old Nascent Soul cultivator" was going crazy.
Damn it!
This is too unlucky!
The three "Nascent Soul Old Ancestors" of the "Imperial Observatory" were not present, and the Emperor had collapsed in the "Imperial Observatory."
If "Wang Gebi" were to die, the royal family's wrath would surely be directed at the "Old Nascent Soul cultivator."
The Emperor had an accident in your "Imperial Observatory." Setting aside the Emperor's own recklessness, don't you, the "Imperial Observatory," bear any responsibility?
Responsibility, there must be responsibility!
With the "Three Greats of the Imperial Observatory" absent, all responsibility falls on you, the "Old Nascent Soul cultivator," which is only reasonable, right?
Yes, very reasonable, extremely reasonable!
At that time, the "Old Nascent Soul cultivator" would undoubtedly be subjected to "a thousand cuts."
The thought of being bound to the "Dragon Coiled Jade Pillar" and enduring a "cultivation-world version of a thousand cuts," sliced into a billion pieces for ten years, made the "Old Nascent Soul cultivator" contemplate suicide.
Better to die and be reborn sooner!
Just as the "Old Nascent Soul cultivator" was contemplating which "crooked necked tree" to hang himself from at the entrance of the "Imperial Observatory," he encountered Li Xiaoyao and the others.
Before Li Xiaoyao could speak, the "crazy beggar" behind him rushed out. He grabbed the "Old Nascent Soul cultivator" and said.
"Compatriot, we want to join the Imperial Observatory as undercover agents. Please let us join!"
Li Xiaoyao was sweating.
The "Carefree Immortal Sword" within him was restless, truly wanting to chop this "crazy beggar" to death with one sword.
We're here to go undercover. Do you need to say it so loudly? As if you're afraid others won't know?
Even Ye Qiye, who was usually high-profile, changed his expression at this moment.
It's over. The "undercover career" was about to end before it even began.
The "Imperial Observatory" was notorious and infamous!
If their "undercover identities" were discovered, wouldn't they be hunted down?
Ye Qiye and Li Xiaoyao exchanged glances, quickly conveying their intentions to fight to the death.
However, what they didn't expect was that the "Old Nascent Soul cultivator" merely glanced at the "crazy beggar" and waved him away impatiently.
"Scram, scram! What kind of madman are you? This is not a place for you to fool around. Get lost!"
Phew!
Saved!
Ye Qiye was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
We're saved!
Seeing that the "crazy beggar" was acting so insane, the "Old Nascent Soul cultivator" dismissed his words as ravings and didn't take them seriously.
Ye Qiye quickly said.
"Fellow Daoist, I apologize. My junior nephew here is not mentally well and is quite foolish! Actually, we wanted to join the Imperial Observatory and serve the court! However, seeing that you seem to be inconvenienced today, we won't disturb you further. Goodbye!"
Saying this, Ye Qiye, for fear that the "Old Nascent Soul cultivator" would change his mind, pulled Li Xiaoyao and the others away.
The "Old Nascent Soul cultivator" couldn't be bothered to deal with them and continued to look for a suitable "crooked necked tree" to hang himself from.
Just then, a young cultivator rushed out of the "Imperial Observatory." The young cultivator was running and laughing. Due to his excitement, he even fell several times.
A "Golden Core cultivator" who could fall on flat ground while walking. One could imagine how excited and thrilled he was at this moment.
"Uncle-Master Wang Gang, good news, good news..."
