"Oh my, what a lively scene."
Liang Yuwei's gentle voice reached everyone's ears.
This man, who was rarely seen, had disappeared after the Battle of Yonggu Zhi Lan.
No one expected him to appear here.
He piloted a scruffy black "Gorilla" mech, its external armor removed, exposing its internal mechanical structure, making it quite ugly.
Its thick arms swung alternately, smashing into the ground as it moved on all fours, approaching from a distance.
"Young Brother Gu Ya, I'm not here to fight."
The "Gorilla" mech walked up to Tai Hu, suddenly opening its mechanical hands.
The mechanisms on its ten fingers rapidly deformed, with all sorts of metal tools emerging from within,
And then, hundreds of thousands of tools on its hands began to disassemble Tai Hu's mech. The "Gorilla" had transformed into a "surgical doctor" with a rugged exterior.
More precisely, it resembled a "butcher" with exquisite dissection skills.
"Hey~~~!" Sha Xin exclaimed tremblingly, "Old Liang! What are you doing! Why are you dismantling my mech!"
Liang Yuwei smiled gently and said, "You can't move anyway, so using some things from you, is that too much to ask?"
With a clang and a clatter, the Tai Hu mech was quickly dismantled into thousands of parts.
Ten slender mechanical arms extended from the "Gorilla's" abdomen even sorted these dismantled parts by size, arranging them neatly around the "Gorilla" mech, spread out on the ground.
The entire process took less than ten minutes.
Tai Hu was dismantled down to just the cockpit.
"Now then, little tiger, I need your cockpit as well. Please step out for a moment," Liang Yuwei said in a refined and gentle tone.
Sha Xin kicked open the cockpit door, angrily gave the sky the middle finger, and quickly ran away.
After Sha Xin had run far away,
The "Gorilla," as if enjoying a meal, used dozens of its mechanical arms to select suitable parts from the pile on the ground and install them onto its own body.
"Battlefield mech mechanic..." Gu Ya said faintly, "True to your reputation. If I didn't have the Xi Shen Yi Weng, I would have developed in this direction too."
Heavy Sword Ba Ju took a step forward, carrying his greatsword. Liu Yin Xia shouted, "Gu Ya, Ye Ying! Mid-battle break is over! Let's fight!!"
Gu Ya turned the Miracle Thunder Eagle towards Heavy Sword Ba Ju and said coldly, "With just you, plus Wan Feng Tian Shen, it's not enough to fight!"
"How about..."
The Miracle Thunder Eagle looked at the thousands of Xian Xia mechs in front of him. Gu Ya said, "You all come at me together!"
Hua Sheng Feng suddenly roared, "What a bold statement! You insult Xian Xia by thinking we have no one!!"
Suddenly, a giant rectangular black plane unfolded across the sky!!
The Black Hell mech and the Eight Crippled mechs flew out rapidly from the plane and landed between the two factions.
Hua Sheng Feng laughed heartily and said, "Xian Xia's second and third War Gods are here! Gu Ya, let's see how you fight! Surrender obediently and accept your destiny!"
However, Shu Fei Zhang calmly stated, "We are here to help Gu Ya!"
The Black Hell and Eight Crippled mechs faced thousands of Xian Xia mechs, unsheathed their weapons, and prepared for battle!
Just as everyone was surprised that Shu Fei Zhang and Shen Jing Ming had actually "betrayed their country,"
Ye Zhen Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, alright, my reinforcements have arrived. I'll continue to lie flat and watch the show. This old Shu, over a hundred years old, still so stubborn and reckless!"
With the addition of the Black Hell and Eight Crippled mechs, the battle instantly tilted one-sidedly.
Heavy Sword Ba Ju, Wan Feng Tian Shen, and the thousands of Xian Xia mechs behind them were like ants before Gu Ya and the other two, easily defeated.
"If that's the case!" Hua Sheng Feng said furiously.
Liu Yin Xia echoed, "Then let's fight to the death! My tens of thousands of Xian Xia mechs will surely cut down all four of you!!!"
Just as everyone was sharpening their blades, preparing for a grand battle, another disruptive voice echoed from the sky:
"Stop! No fighting!!"
A mech with a majestic, imposing, yet simple white, red, and blue paint scheme, leading numerous guard mechs behind it, descended from the sky.
Heavy Sword Ba Ju and Wan Feng Tian Shen instantly extinguished their auras and placed their mechs in a cold standby state.
The thousands of Xian Xia mechs behind them began to orderly withdraw from the battlefield.
Gu Ya knew that this was the exclusive vehicle of the Supreme Leader of the Xian Xia nation, the Chairman.
The appearance of this mech signaled that the battle was heading in an even more unpredictable direction.
If the Chairman personally led the battle, it would mean Gu Ya would be completely breaking ties with Xian Xia.
"We are all soldiers of Xian Xia, why must we fight amongst ourselves. If we must fight, it should be within limits, don't you think, Liang Yuwei."
The Chairman's words were like a stabilizing needle, instantly extinguishing the fervor in everyone's hearts.
Liang Yuwei's refined voice reached everyone's ears, "Since the Chairman has spoken, I believe this misunderstanding should end here."
"End here?" Gu Ya retorted angrily, "They attacked us first! Now you want a ceasefire, and I don't agree! I will kill these two ungrateful people!"
The Chairman's calm and irresistible voice echoed again, "Alright, Gu Ya. I came because I wanted to talk with you in detail."
"Talk? Ha! You probably came to kill me! Or perhaps to bribe me with merits?" Gu Ya said coldly and disdainfully.
"Let me reiterate! I, Gu Ya, will only fight for my goals. Anyone who tries to stop me will be fiercely pushed aside."
The Chairman no longer responded, instead extinguishing the aura on his back.
After a long silence, several mobile guards surrounded the Chairman and descended from their mechs to the ground.
The Chairman stopped his guards and walked alone to a distance of 50 meters in front of the Miracle Thunder Eagle, then looked up and said calmly, "Now, can we talk properly?"
Fifteen minutes later,
The Chairman and Gu Ya sat across a table.
The Chairman gazed into Gu Ya's clear and resolute eyes, a benevolent smile on his face, and spoke first, "I finally understand now. Gu Ya, you are a firm idealist."
"However, idealists are always tragic. Once you embark on this path, you will bear too many burdens that ordinary people cannot bear."
"Your family, lover, and close friends will become your burdens."
Gu Ya tightly held Ye Ying's hand and said to the Chairman, "You are wrong. I am not an idealist, too abstract."
"I am a firm materialist fighter, a doer."
"What I want to do, I will do, and I will succeed."
The Chairman smiled and nodded, "Alright, enough empty talk. I can assure you that Mu Ye Xing Chen will not die. But!"
The Chairman's smile disappeared, and his tone instantly turned cold, "The secret of the Xian surname can never be mentioned, and the name Mu Ye Xing Chen will be buried in the torrent of history along with the Xian surname."
"This person will never exist in this world."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Ya looked into the Chairman's strategic and profound eyes and nodded in silence.
The Chairman's face once again showed a harmonious smile, and he said, "As for your goals, I will not hinder them. As long as they are beneficial to Xian Xia, I will even support you."
"But don't think of using this opportunity to create privileges in Xian Xia and try to subvert Xian Xia's thousands of years of foundation."
"Otherwise, with the power of all of Xian Xia, even if we fight to the last person, we will eliminate you."
"As for your military position, well—as long as you are not busy, and Xian Xia is in trouble, come back and help, okay?"
In the last sentence, the Chairman used a tone that was both consultative and pleading, indicating that he actually admired Gu Ya greatly.
However, the words Gu Ya spoke in the meeting earlier that day made it impossible not to think too much.
Especially as the supreme leader of Xian Xia, he always placed the interests of Xian Xia first, not allowing even the slightest deviation.
Gu Ya breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
The two stood up. The Chairman extended his hand, shook Gu Ya's hand firmly, and turned to leave.
Shu Fei Zhang and Liu Yin Xia watched the Chairman's flagship mech fly away before slowly relaxing their shoulders, their suspended hearts finally at ease.
Liu Yin Xia kicked the dark brown mech armor fiercely and shouted impatiently, "Hey! Old Ye!! Stop pretending, I know you're not dead! The Chairman is gone, come out for a drink!"
"A drink!" Sha Xin jumped out, put his arm around Liu Yin Xia's plump shoulder, and laughed heartily, "How can a drink not have me! Hahaha!"
"Clang!" A small armored door on the waist was kicked open, and Ye Zhen Jun crawled out, clutching his injured left arm, and yawned widely, feigning ignorance, "Oh oh! Drinking, drinking."
Shu Fei Zhang pulled Ye Zhen Jun and frowned, "You're just leaving like this? Where's Gu Ya? Take him with you!"
"Oh, old Shu! How can your old brain be so dull!" Ye Zhen Jun patted Shu Fei Zhang's shoulder and said, "We old folks shouldn't meddle with the children's affairs. Little Tiger! Let's go!"
Sha Xin jumped next to Ye Zhen Jun and laughed loudly, "Here I come!! Let's go to the old place for old wine hahaha!"
Gu Ya and Ye Ying, standing in the distance, watched the Chairman's flagship mech fly away.
Ye Ying smiled and said, "Alright, the first step of the plan is realized. What's next?"
"Next..." Gu Ya stared at the increasingly small flagship mech, "If my guess is correct, Hei Yang has already been released. We just need to return to the underground and then..."
"Gu Ya."
Wang Shang Meng's voice came from behind him.
