Chapter 450: Proposing to Yun Xi
Tang Rao's intentions were clear, he would return to the Special Ninth Department and continue to serve as the Chief Instructor.
In reality, Tang Rao was just scaring them. Leave the Special Ninth Department? Of course not. Even if he were to leave, it wouldn't be for this kind of reason.
Do you think I would leave just because you asked? What a joke.
Troubles are mine to bear, benefits yours to claim? Is there such a good deal in the world? Don't even think about it.
"Come out." Just outside the Special Ninth Department, Tang Rao waved his hand lightly and a figure appeared.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" It was the man who had entered the Inquiry Formation earlier.
"What's your name?" Tang Rao asked coldly.
Tang Rao had also hidden a Transfer Array in the Inquiry Formation, so when Heavenly Dao obliteration occurred, it transferred this person away.
This was the best way to deal with Heavenly Dao obliteration.
Of course, this only applied to the Inquiry Formation. If someone broke a Heavenly Dao oath, regardless of where they ran, they would be done for.
"Fang Ling."
Tang Rao took two steps forward and pressed down on Fang Ling's shoulders.
Bang!
The next moment, Fang Ling felt something inside him shatter.
"You really are incredible, having explosives inside you. It's okay, I've already defused it," Tang Rao said.
Fang Ling looked at Tang Rao, eyes filled with both fear and gratitude.
"If it weren't for the fact that you are neither corrupt nor decayed, I wouldn't bother with you," Tang Rao muttered. Fang Ling had performed quite well during the Inquiry Formation; at least, he was a very good official.
As for him harming me, many times, it's not something within my control.
Fang Ling kept silent, not expecting that being a good official would save his life.
"Let's go." Tang Rao grabbed Fang Ling's shoulder, and they vanished instantly.
Plantation, Tang Rao took out food and drinks from his Space Ring and set them on the stone table.
"Come, sit," Tang Rao said to Fang Ling.
Fang Ling didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly opposite Tang Rao.
"Drink."
...
Tang Rao didn't ask who the mastermind behind Fang Ling was. These things, Fang Ling would reveal on his own.
"Actually, I don't know who the ultimate mover is behind all this. All I know is that they have great power and can do a lot of things. The X2 model was created by Jin Shengqiao, and my role, really, was just to find people," Fang Ling explained.
"Jin Shengqiao?" Tang Rao asked.
Fang Ling wasn't surprised that Tang Rao knew Jin Shengqiao; since Tang Rao had gotten hold of the X2 model, he must have found Jin Shengqiao.
"Yes," Fang Ling nodded.
"You also didn't know who set up the explosives inside you?" Tang Rao asked.
"I know, Jin Shengqiao. Unfortunately, he's already dead now," Fang Ling sighed with a sense of helplessness.
Tang Rao also frowned, reflecting on this information. It seemed Jin Shengqiao held a very important position in the eyes of the mastermind. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been given the task of setting up the explosives.
But just as Fang Ling mentioned, the key figure, Jin Shengqiao, was now dead.
"Annoying," Tang Rao shook his head. If only he had known earlier how crucial Jin Shengqiao was, he should have confronted him earlier.
"Forget it, this matter has already been handed over to Brother Qiang, I'm not dealing with it anymore," Tang Rao shook his head.
Upon hearing Tang Rao's words, Fang Ling's gaze turned a bit strange, but unfortunately, Tang Rao did not see it as he was tilting his head back drinking.
...
Time passed, Tang Rao no longer faced ostracism from the Special Ninth Department, which underwent significant personnel changes; indeed, the entire Flame Country experienced a transformation.
Tang Rao knew, Brother Qiang was taking action.
Anyway, his life was bland and peaceful.
Tang Rao liked this state, however, often times the saying "man proposes, God disposes" held true.
In the Seventy-two Domains, the plans that Tang Rao had set were nearly triggered.
That is to say, it was time for him to make a move.
Perhaps striking a fatal blow to Mei Fanghua, or perhaps, just tripping her up; either way, it was already quite good.
"Skinny monkey, is it not quite right for us to do this?" On the Moon, Tang Rao looked at Yan Wei.
"I think it's pretty good." Yan Wei nodded, with a look of satisfaction and contentment.
At this moment, where Tang Rao and Yan Wei's gazes reached, countless stars were connected by a bizarre red line. The origin of these lines was in a device beside Tang Rao and Yan Wei.
This device, with the press of a button, would instantly trigger countless terrifying Star Cannons.
Yes, Tang Rao named the massively destructive weapon developed by Yan Wei as the Star Cannon, which could, with a single shot, shatter a planet like the Moon into pieces.
And at this moment on the Moon, tens of thousands of such Star Cannons could be launched at the same time.
This is the super-technology produced by the combination of Blue Star warfare science and the technology of the Seventy-two Domains, possessing immense power and limitless possibilities.
Of course, if there were great powers to defend against it, the power of these Star Cannons would be greatly reduced.
"As the saying goes, if you're backward, you'll take a beating; right now, we are seeking benefits for ourselves," said Yan Wei.
"Alright." Tang Rao nodded, "But skinny monkey, you need to fine-tune the launching program. If by accident it's triggered, that would really be the end of us. Facing the collective assault of the entire Seventy-two Domains would be fatal."
"Don't worry about that, other than the button in your hand, I can't activate it. So, you should be the one worried, be careful," said Yan Wei.
Tang Rao: "..."
"By the way, the network system of the Giant Merchant Star in the Seventy-two Domains has been almost set up, you can start now," Tang Rao said.
"Hehe, networks are really my strong suit," Yan Wei said, excited by the mention of networks.
The grand network of all star domains of the Seventy-two Domains, spanning the entire starry sky, is simply the greatest endeavor in cosmic history.
"I've already set up the neural server, and it can absolutely withstand it!" Yan Wei declared.
"I trust in your work! Speaking of which, when are you going to propose to Li Li? I need to see this!" Tang Rao said.
"Why would you watch my proposal?" Yan Wei looked puzzled.
"Nonsense, shouldn't I learn something? Shouldn't I also propose to Yun Xi or something..."
"Did she agree to be your girlfriend?"
"Not yet."
"Then you're proposing for what?"
"Don't put it that way, what if, right?"
"..."
After chatting with Yan Wei for a few more moments, Tang Rao left and returned to the Seventy-two Domains, back to the Central Emperor Realm, to the First King Star.
"Brother Qiang, the thing I need to do next might be a bit unfair to you. But in doing so, I am also inheriting your will, helping you cripple that guy Tu Sheng," Tang Rao murmured, and then, he headed straight for the Sky Palace on the First King Star.
That palace was built by your father Lao Hei, very familiar indeed.
Although the palace was not a treasure, fortunately so because if it were, Mei Fanghua might have seized and refined it, and he really wouldn't dare to enter.
A few minutes later, Tang Rao entered the Sky Palace.
Inside the palace, Tang Rao knew his way around perfectly, and there was no need to worry about being discovered.
Besides, your father Lao Hei had set many hidden moves inside the palace; if things went south, destroying this place would ensure a shocking thrill.
