Chapter 1524: Chapter 1179: All Very Nervous
The two brought a large troop and hurried over, not having undergone light disinfection. However, there was no Crystal Poison contamination in the plants here. After all, Crystal Poison technology had matured greatly, and so-called light disinfection was merely a process that seemed high-status.
The leaders of the two groups were Anzong and Libi.
"What are you doing to our guests!" Libi shouted loudly. He knew exactly what they were doing, as the Emperor had issued the order right in front of Libi. However, at this time, some face-saving words were necessary.
"Captain! I..." A soldier was about to explain, but Libi raised his hand to stop him from speaking: "All of you, get back! I’ll deal with you when I return! Now scram!"
By saying this, Libi had clearly meant to protect them, not giving Anzong a chance to speak. But Anzong hadn’t planned to pursue the matter, especially since Henki was fine and didn’t seem bullied.
The six soldiers scurried away, and Libi then approached Long Yi. "I’m terribly sorry, Mr. Henki. I have failed to discipline my subordinates adequately. It’s my fault. Are you alright?"
Long Yi laughed heartily, "Don’t worry, even you are no match for me, so your subordinates are even less of a concern. No need to worry!"
Libi found this response increasingly uncomfortable to hear, but since he was at fault first and clearly in the wrong, he didn’t have anything to say.
Following Anzong out of the now-ruined small park, Anzong asked Long Yi in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
Long Yi shook his head, "Just a few fools. What could they possibly do to me? But their Emperor must be furious, seeing as they treasure their park so much."
"Did you learn anything from this battle?"
"A little, but not much."
"Oh? What is that?"
"I personally witnessed them deactivating the Overload Crystal Poison. I need to go back and experiment to see if I can find a way to forcibly shut off Overload Crystal Poison."
"Is that the ’not much’ you’re talking about?"
"Yes!"
"My goodness, you have high standards for gains. This is clearly a huge breakthrough!"
After returning with Long Yi, he immediately reported the matter to the Golden Emperor. Upon hearing that Long Yi had possibly uncovered the secrets of Overload Crystal Poison, he was extremely pleased. He had allowed Henki and Aisa to operate independently for this very purpose, hoping for some rash actions from the Silver Emperor’s side that might expose their weaknesses. And his guess was indeed correct!
"However, it is only a possibility, like a flash of inspiration. I can’t guarantee it will be correct, and it may even turn out to be ineffective upon further research," Long Yi said.
"No problem! After you return, tell me whatever talents and equipment you need; I will fully support your research!" The Golden Emperor had truly cherished Long Yi.
Unlike the Golden Emperor, the Silver Emperor was furious. Because the people he had sent not only failed to achieve anything, but they had also heavily damaged his favorite park!
"Calm down," the Silver Emperor told himself. "Stay calm, you are not the Emperor; you’re just the Divine Worm living inside the Emperor’s heart."
But despite thinking this, the Silver Emperor still felt his anger difficult to quell.
"No, we absolutely cannot let them just go back like that!" The Silver Emperor’s mind still echoed the Imperial Guard soldiers recounting Henki’s words: "Right now, I might not be able to do much about you, but I did witness how you shut off Overload Crystal Poison, so I should be able to find some ways specifically targeting this kind of Overload Crystal Poison. It might not be immediate, but once I return to my planet, I will focus my research in this area, and perhaps soon, your Overload Crystal Poison will be ineffective against us."
Maybe not long?
Damn it! No matter how long, this still means a severe failure for him!
"Others don’t matter, but Henki must die!" the Silver Emperor said fiercely.
"Why don’t we control him then?" said a close attendant by the Emperor.
"Control him?" the Silver Emperor was stunned.
"Yes, control him. It looks like that fool, the Golden Emperor, certainly didn’t control him, did he? Since that’s the case, why don’t we control him? If we do, we’ll have improved energy alloy and also possess Overload Crystal Poison. Who among The Forgotten Ones could possibly stand against us then?"
Without a doubt, this attendant was also a Worm.
"Yes, why can’t we control him?" the Silver Emperor laughed.
You might be strong, but how could your frail lives resist against the parasitism of the Worms?
"Well then, let’s find a few more of our brothers; after all, he is now under tight protection, and one Worm might not be enough."
The moment this plan emerged, Long Yi almost immediately knew about it. As it turned out, there were five Worms carrying out the orders, two of which were already under Belle’s surveillance. Through special channels, Long Yi learned of this. So now, Long Yi faced a choice: should he allow himself to be controlled as part of the plan; or should he reveal this matter to the Golden Emperor?
And just then, the Golden Emperor suddenly summoned Henki and Aisa. At this moment, it had been less than an hour since the two had left the Emperor’s presence.
