NOVPUBThe entire Empire Minor World was trembling under this terrifying might.
The ocean below surged with towering waves.
The city built upon the body of Chi Jiu also trembled non-stop, as if it might fall from the sky at any moment.
What frightened Little Green and Little Red beyond measure was that under this oppressive force, not to mention the Exotic Beasts driven by the Imperial Guard.
Even they themselves felt an insurmountable fear in their hearts, with not even the thought of resistance arising!
"The gap in strength is too vast, I’m afraid even if we release the Fusion Beast, it wouldn’t be a match for this person!"
"If we were to resist forcibly, the Empire could easily be destroyed by a single thought from the opponent."
Little Green and Little Red exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting reluctance and unwillingness.
"We can only feign compliance for now and think of another plan," they thought.
"Elder, we are willing to submit," Little Green said through clenched teeth, bowing deeply.
"Hmph, don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting," Li Fan said as he retracted the Cave Heaven phantom.
His gaze swept back and forth over Blue and Red: "It would be best to give up those little schemes of yours. The United Federation of All Realms has been observing you for quite some time."
"I know about those so-called aces up your sleeve very clearly."
"Even if Emperor One himself were to come, I would not fear. Let alone its poor imitation," Li Fan said arrogantly, but to Green and Red, who were unaware of Li Fan’s true power, these words shocked them into abruptly lifting their heads.
Li Fan’s profound gaze sent a chill through their hearts.
The All-encompassing Fusion Beast was an absolute secret of the Empire.
Only the successive Emperors and the two of them knew of this.
Yet, this powerhouse from the United Federation of All Realms, whom they had never heard of, knew as well?
Did that not mean they had no secrets left from his view?
What’s more critical was that they had no idea when the leak had occurred.
A sense of defeat and panic overwhelmed them.
Even long before, when they were at the Beast Taming Sect facing an Immortal Expert, they never felt so powerless.
"Come, take me to the Empire Treasury," said Li Fan lightly, deeming it time to stop his intimidation.
Now that the situation had come to this and they were like fish on the chopping block, Little Green and Little Red had given up on the thought of resistance.
They could only follow Li Fan’s orders.
Soon, Li Fan was once again in the Empire Treasury, which contained countless treasures and records.
It was no different from what he saw in his previous life.
After a brief tour and checking on the state of the All-encompassing Fusion Beast, Li Fan’s ulterior motives began to surface.
"Hand over also the insights that Xu Ke researched on the [Cycle of Ten Thousand Beasts]," Li Fan said, turning around and fixing his gaze on Little Green and Little Red with a stern voice.
Upon hearing this, the two birds were completely unable to remain calm.
"Who exactly are you?" Little Green asked with eyes full of terror, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Knowing the name of their master, Xu Ke, and even being clearly aware of the research on the Ten Thousand Beast Wheel he had conducted.
Plus the four words ’United Federation of All Realms,’ a possibility involuntarily emerged in Little Green’s mind.
"Beast Taming Sect?"
Seeing their shocked and bewildered expressions, Li Fan revealed a sinister smile.
"What, do you intend to resist?"
"Fine, I’ll grant you that."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if that lad Xu Ke knew of your deaths, he would be very upset," Li Fan said with a strange laugh.
Little Green and Little Red hastened to say, "Elder, you have misunderstood..."
"Wait, Elder, what do you mean?"
They stared blankly at Li Fan.
"You’re right to think so, that kid Xu Ke is still alive," Li Fan snorted coldly.
The news was so shocking that Little Green and Little Red could hardly control their emotions and almost stumbled.
"Enough dawdling. Death..."
"Or submission!"
Seeing Li Fan’s slightly impatient expression, a sense of urgency surged in the hearts of Little Green and Little Red.
"We..."
"Are willing to submit," Little Green said, bowing her head. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
After a moment’s hesitation, she handed over a jade pendant engraved with an Azure Luan Bird.
This jade pendant was originally Xu Ke’s, which she had carried with her over the years.
Reluctantly parting with it now, her gaze was filled with reluctance.
At the same time, an image of Xu Ke vaguely appeared before her eyes.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Li Fan had already read the contents of the jade pendant in its entirety.
"The Beast Commanding Wheel..."
"Indeed worthy of being the Beast Taming Sect’s treasure, so profound," he muttered.
After the Beast Taming Sect had migrated to the Small World for refuge, they had assigned their elite disciples to research the Beast Commanding Wheel.
They attempted to find a way to control demonic beasts without practicing the Beast Taming True Technique.
Whether they had succeeded or not, Li Fan did not know.
But later, the fleeing Xu Ke had developed the [Heart’s Harmony Technique] on his own to manipulate the exotic beasts in the Empire Minor World.
Li Fan already knew about the Heart’s Harmony Technique.
What really interested him was the mystery behind the Beast Commanding Wheel.
And Xu Ke, undoubtedly a prodigy favored by Mr. Bai and the founder of the Empire’s lineage, was extraordinary.
The detailed records about the Beast Commanding Wheel inside the jade pendant even exceeded Li Fan’s expectations.
"With such comprehensive data, once the Medicine King True Cauldron returns, Fang Zaiji might be able to forge a weakened version of the Beast Commanding Wheel," he conjectured.
Although there was still some time before the return of the Medicine King Sect.
But Li Fan had already arranged the work tasks for them in advance.
Seeing Little Green’s distraught appearance, Li Fan smiled, tossed the jade pendant back to her.
"I know you have some plan to escape the Xuanhuang World..."
"But I can tell you quite clearly, that is a road to certain death."
"Outside the Endless Void, dangers abound, far surpassing those of the Xuanhuang World..."
Li Fan sighed slightly, and then his expression became serious: "Joining forces with the United Federation of All Realms to launch a counterattack on the Immortal Cultivation World and recapture the Xuanhuang World is the only chance for survival!"
Hearing Li Fan’s speech, Little Green became more convinced of her judgment.
This United Federation of All Realms was indeed a union of sects that had fled to various Small Worlds during ancient times.
"Your place might be weaker, but it also has its unique aspects," Li Fan remarked.
He then assigned them tasks: "For example, that Spiritual Energy Synthesis Technology is very useful for many Small Worlds that lack spiritual energy."
"However, the current efficiency is still too low."
"Even if you use the full force of your realm to breed exotic beasts, all for the slaughter, you can’t satisfy the needs of many Small Worlds."
"Therefore..."
Feeling Li Fan’s piercing gaze, Little Green and Little Red shuddered inwardly.
"At all costs, upgrade the Spiritual Energy Synthesis Technology."
"I’m giving you three years. In three years, I will come to inspect the results."
"If the outcome satisfies me, there will be a reward."
"Otherwise..."
"It’s a waste of resources for the ineffective to live; they might as well die sooner," Li Fan said again, laughing eerily, his words filled with a chilling murderous intent.
