Chapter 448: Chapter 437: Awaited by All
Li Daoming frowned as he looked at the list. He was a very wise person, seemingly a libertine, but truly possessing the talent of an ancient sage.
"There are hundreds of immortals from Yellow Springs Star, among which there are a dozen or so plotting rebellion. If they have prepared beforehand, we must be careful of unexpected events."
Those upper-ranking Earth Immortals, along with some Celestial Immortals, were nothing more than worthless rabble in their eyes and hardly worth mentioning.
To the two of them, they posed no threat at all.
But indeed, if cornered and desperate, combined with these rebels’ preparations, the others on this flying boat would not be safe.
If too many casualties occur, exposing those rebels here would not be worth it.
"With me here, what can chaos achieve? Before they can cause any trouble, I can subdue them single-handedly."
Wang Xuan was brimming with confidence. Among those from Yellow Springs Star, the strongest were merely at the Divine Infant Realm, and they were defectors reliant on the Earth Federation, while the strongest rebels were only in the middle period of Pure Yang.
Li Daoming’s cultivation level could crush them with a single finger, though the other’s cultivation could buy themselves a very brief but almost nonexistent resistance time.
Yet, even such a moment could allow the opponent to unleash their last resort.
Li Daoming did not have absolute confidence!
However, Wang Xuan could eliminate even such a fleeting moment for those rebels.
He was adept at anticipating the enemy, with even Half-Step True Tiers unable to hide their intentions from him. Catching him off guard was an impossibility.
Mere Celestial Immortals would have their intentions known before they even acted, unable to use whatever follow-ups they had.
Li Daoming nodded, "If you have such confidence, then I am at ease."
When Wang Xuan said it was okay, he naturally placed his full trust in him.
Li Daoming continued, "It seems my cultivation level is not high enough. Had I known, I would have pursued enlightenment more often, and I would have reached the Half-Step True Tier level."
Others may achieve enlightenment once or twice in their lives, rejoicing wildly in resonance with the Great Dao of the world, while his enlightenment was exceedingly simple.
Wang Xuan quickly waved his hand, "Don’t, you with your advantages, give others a break. Your clansmen seeing your cultivation would be ashamed to have existed, and aliens would want to eliminate you early to seize this flesh body."
Li Daoming often encountered assassinations without keeping a low profile. It was because of his identity as the Li Family’s direct lineage. If his true talent and cultivation were known, he wouldn’t be safe.
Five or six more hours passed. When the guests arrived, the sun had just set, and now it was already high in the sky.
All this time, these big figures from Yellow Springs Star sat idly. Although there was no lack of good food and drink, it was inevitable that they felt a little impatient.
How busy each of them was! Their personal terminals rang incessantly, arranging various affairs.
Yet this Li family’s eldest son kept them waiting as if they were nothing.
The people present had different thoughts; those with clear consciences remained untroubled, the busy remained busy, even summoning their secretaries to Yellow Springs Palace to report work.
While people like Bai Qing and Wangchuan Zhudao were genuinely anxious.
They knew that the Hongwu Taoist and Li family’s eldest son Li Daoming had a good relationship, so it was very likely that the Hongwu Taoist would be with him.
If Li Daoming appeared at this feast, then the Hongwu Taoist’s appearance was also highly likely.
Their opportunity lay in that moment.
Bai Qing lamented, "This Li family’s eldest son, whose cultivation is mediocre, is nevertheless quite valued in the Li Family of Celestial. I really don’t know why he has such great fortune.
Without cultivation talent, he should just live comfortably as the young master. Why come to Yellow Springs Star to meddle blindly?
Gathering us for a feast, only to keep us waiting for over ten hours, is truly too excessive.
Do you think that this Li family’s eldest son might be scheming something big behind our backs?"
Wangchuan Zhudao and several others pondered deeply; it was very possible.
Although they were confident that no accident had occurred, they couldn’t help but let their thoughts wander since it concerned their life and death.
Thus, they began reaching out, but surprisingly, everything seemed normal.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
"No, we can’t just sit here waiting, we must act proactively!" Bai Qing immediately contacted Lin Shen, a gang expert who seemingly had no interactions with her.
Before long, a burly man nearby swaggered over, fueled by intoxication and started to brag recklessly.
"Damn it, how long do we have to wait? Do we just keep waiting forever if he doesn’t come!"
The two-meter tall man drew a knife and carved it into a pillar, his agitated demeanor resembling a panting grizzly bear.
His shout naturally drew everyone’s attention.
Xing Lin continued eating, sneering inwardly, this Lin Shen was nothing but a brute who made a name in the cultivation realm through brute force but sadly lacked brains, his parents wasted such a name on him?
Many turned to look, yet no one echoed his sentiment, merely letting Lin Shen lead while they hid behind, waiting for the Li family’s eldest son’s reaction.
"Fool, if you’re going to complain, do it, but such crude words, showing no subtlety, is too disrespectful to Li Daoming." Many cursed inwardly.
That was the Li Family of Celestial, even a leg hair from them would be thicker than theirs, who dared go up against them? You think you’re tough.
Frankly, this Li family’s young master’s cultivation was only at the Human Immortal level, but backed by the Li Family of Celestial, even a bit of power would crush you!
The Li family’s power could be seen from the three-thousand-meter-long flying boat beneath them, only the Celestial Travel Battleship Group in the Starship Domain could create it.
Such a flying boat integrates contemporary top technology, high-level artifact refining knowledge, and even involves True Immortal characters personally.
The value of this single flying boat was beyond their imagination.
Though Lin Shen was quite a notable figure on Yellow Springs Star, with Dharma Body Realm cultivation, considered among the upper-middle tier in the gathering.
The venue was so quiet that even the sound of a breeze flapping banners hundreds of meters away was easily heard, with no response to Lin Xing, who anticipated Li Daoming’s appearance, nor was there any like-minded echo to his call.
Everyone here was smart; shooting the bird that pokes its head out, Lin Xing was that testing bird, if there were benefits, everyone would enjoy them, if there were disadvantages, Lin Xing would bear them alone.
Lin Xing also felt terribly embarrassed, being an upper-ranking Earth Immortal and a Dharma Body Realm immortal, yet no one paid him attention.
Annoyed, he reached out, grabbing the head female attendant, lifting her up.
He snarled, "Get your superior here, I want to see someone with authority, not small fries like you!"
The female attendant remained calm, displaying a formal smile, "Esteemed elder, if dissatisfied with our service, you may lodge a complaint, though no one would handle it.
We do not belong to the Celestial Travel Battleship Group but are slaves of the Li family, private property, also representing the Li family’s face.
I may perish, merely a small figure, but I cannot be humiliated. I only do what is arranged above; your directives, I’m afraid I cannot heed.
Moreover, everything happening here is monitored by the flying boat and doesn’t require my reporting.
At over a hundred years old, you should cultivate your temperament, less anger, more peace. Elder, may I be put down now?"
She spoke with dignity, neither overly humble nor riding roughshod, resembling more of a well-educated noble disciple.
The audience was stunned, for merely a female attendant of the Li family, just a foundational stone at the pyramid’s base, yet a single leaf reveals the coming autumn, indicating the grandeur of the Li family indeed.
Ancient sage Mencius once said, "Family legacy through morality lasts over ten generations, through farming and studying next, through poetry and books less so, and wealth lasts no more than three generations."
The Li family’s ancestral path profoundly captures this essence.
