Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 1638: A New Superhero… is Born!
“More than 200 years ago, Speaker Shui Yian, who led the Firefly out of the 'extraordinary period', wrote his own report on the 'Red Lotus Project’ and engraved his unique spiritual print? ”
Just as Tang Dingyuan took over the top command of the bridge, he also sent a series of reports from Choi Lingfeng on the origin, role, position and authority of the Red Lotus team, blank paper and clear. Not only was there a brand of the spirit of the founder, Speaker Shui Yian, but even after Shui Yian, each Speaker left his own exclusive spiritual trace in the document, coming and going, handing it down in an orderly fashion until Choi Lingfeng was the current Speaker.
This document attests to the identity of the members of the Red Lotus Squad and endorses their ongoing sweeping fairy manoeuvres that are bursting inside the Firefly.
At this moment, the Red Lotus Squad is the most powerful person on the Firefly besides Choi Lingfeng and Tang Dingyuan. It really looks like what Chi Changsheng once said in the theatre, “Cut off the backstage, kill and take”, the power wind reached the extreme!
The mood of the "bridge faction” led by Captain Tang Dingyuan is complicated by the sudden death of the Red Lotus Squad from the darkness of this divine soldier.
Rationally, these elite fighters are directly in the private arms of the Speaker and were secretly formed more than two hundred years ago by Speaker Shui 'an, bypassing the bridge and even the parliament!
With the meagre resources belonging to the entire Republic of the Stars Sea, a private militia was formed to which the Speaker's orders were based, an act that truly wandered near the bottom line and was totally inconsistent with the spirit of the Republic of the Stars Sea.
In other words, the “bridge faction" is bound to attack the Red Lotus Squad as a “scandal” and even seek ways to deprive the Speaker of command of the force and to split it it up and integrate it into other, more controlled forces.
But today, the cadres of the "bridge faction”, including the captain's daughter, are being held in Blackstone prison. The Red Lotus team personally rescued them, even Captain Tang Dingyuan himself, were rescued by the Red Lotus team captain "Lin Jiu”.
Not only that, “Captain Lin" also saved the Speaker and the captain in his own right, and indirectly killed Cheng Xuanxin. He also captured Ding Zhengyang alive. He reversed the whole situation and used the words “force to save the fury” to describe it. It is not too much!
Such a "splash of credit” undoubtedly proved the legitimacy and necessity of Speaker Shui Yian's formation of this force more than 200 years ago. How can Tang Dingyuan and other key members of the "bridge faction" be so kind as to say another word to their lifesavers?
Moreover, in the face of a striking name on the list provided by Ding Zhengyang, Tang Dingyuan had to admit that the “contagion” of the immortals on the Firefly had reached a very serious level. At this moment, perhaps only the "Red Lotus Squad” is the only one worthy of trust!
Tang Dingyuan is not a man with a strong desire for power. Otherwise, he would not have offered to join the Xingyao Federation. His contradiction with Speaker Choi is more on official business. Now that Speaker Choi's position has undergone a subtle shift, he has no reason to continue to oppose the Speaker's needlework in this juncture.
Besides, if everything said in this document is true, then “Lin Jiu” and other “Red Lotus Warriors” willing to be sealed for centuries are irrevocable heroes. No matter how Tang Dingyuan sees Choi Lingfeng, he cannot deny this.
With this in mind, during the climb with “Lin Jiu”, it was found that the leader of the Red Lotus Squad had no interest in the struggle of the Parliament and the bridge, only that he wanted to strike the fairy repairer hard. Tang Ding could not help but pay tribute to the savior from more than 200 years ago. He was happy to end his attitude towards Red Lotus Squad.
Compared to Tang Dingyuan, his choice is more tangled for Speaker Choi Lingfeng.
Tang Ding was far from able to recognize these “ancestral secret” forgeries passed down from generation to generation by Parliament. He could reasonably believe in the existence of "Red Lotus Squad" without knowing anything.
But for Choi Lingfeng, who forged these "Red Lotus Secrets” himself, this is a huge bet that will make the entire Starling Sea Republic and even the Starlight Federation last.
“Do you really believe in these unknown ‘Red Lotus' people? ”
From the beginning to the end, the problem wrapped around Choi Lingfeng's heart like a snake.
At first, he did not necessarily expect to rely solely on the Red Lotus to survive the ordeal, until after the dust had settled, to find a way to get rid of them or isolate them for examination, so as to understand thoroughly their origin and purpose.
But when the immortals lurking inside the Firefly were uprooted and raised in a string, things were worse than he thought.
Although Ding Zhengyang's bridge is a heavily affected area, the staff of many key positions have been transformed into immortals; however, the parliament has not given way, and several heavyweight parliamentarians have been involved.
Not to mention Choi Lingfeng himself. For many years, he has trusted Xuansu as his righteous daughter. He left all the matters around him to her to take care of, and the result was almost “total defeat”.
Choi Lingfeng was very embarrassed to discover that honestly, as Li Yao said, he really became Commander Optical Rod and no one was available around him.
Besides, his situation is far worse than Don's.
In theory, Tang Dingyuan was only the number two figure in the exile government. At the beginning of the whole conspiracy, he ordered his secret arrest, and everything that happened after that can be said to have nothing to do with Tang Dingyuan.
But he is different, even if he was deceived and bewitched by Cheng Xuanxin and Ding Zhengyang, and he ordered the arrest of at least a hundred bridge executives and members of society, all by himself. If he denied the existence of "Red Lotus Squad” now, and denied that everything was his plan to “lure the snake out of the hole”, it was a great scandal. He was so “ignorant, unconscious”, he would surely shoulder his leadership responsibility and be driven out of power, and the parliament, which was already sore, would be even weaker and unable to confront the "Bridge Party"!
Lost the parliamentary checks and balances, God knows what kind of alliance agreement those technicians on the bridge will reach with the Starlight Federation!
Choi Lingfeng never believed that the word "practitioner” is synonymous with moral nobility and divine glory. Daoyou returns to Daoyou, negotiation returns to negotiation, and your brothers and sisters still have to figure it out!
So he can only rely on the Red Lotus Squad.
And then Speaker Choi found out that the Red Lotus Squad was working really well!
At first, Choi Lingfeng did not like that Red Lotus team could play too much of a role outside of the battle. He thought that “Red Lotus people" other than Li Yao were pure martial arts.
Unfortunately, these Red Lotus people, in sweeping away all the fairy repairers on the ship, soothing the angry people who do not know the truth, inspiring the morale of the soldiers at the grass-roots level, forcing the fairy repairers to obtain more information and benefits… in almost all respects, have shown the perfect results that make Choi Lingfeng stare and impeccable.
As a starship commander, Tang Dingyuan may not be able to see the full range of capabilities these men possess.
However, as Speaker of Parliament, Choi Lingfeng, who claims to be a “bad practitioner”, is very certain that these “Red Lotus" are in no way ordinary martial arts practitioners.
They gave him the feeling... either the General of the Hundred Battles Sandbox, or the ruler of the male side, or the honorable Kwon Senator of the throne, even the youngest seemingly juvenile "Zhu Zongyu", with a dragon tiger step, no anger, no arrogance, the nobility of the royal family!
At this time, Choi Lingfeng is completely certain that these people are definitely not spies of the real human empire.
- Neither the Empire nor the Alliance are luxurious enough to cultivate a dozen spies who are so "outrageous and uneducated” that they don't want to send money to the stars like that.
Not to mention the Federation of Stars and Glows, between the poor mountains and the evil waters, suddenly the wealthy landowners, where can we cultivate such a “backbone” modifier? Look at the way these people throw their hands together, they're even more powerful than the original Brother Starfish!
Choi Lingfeng finally deduced —— could it be some kind of bitter plan, they really are spies of the real human empire, deliberately sacrificed "Cheng Xuanxin, Ding Zhengyang” people, just to control the Firefly and penetrate the Starlight Federation?
That guess was soon overturned by him.
Based on the circumstances and their strength, there is no need to paint snakes at all, play with any bitter meat plan, directly kill him and Tang Dingyuan. Through the cooperation of Ding Zhengyang and Cheng Xuanxin, we can still achieve our purpose.
A real spy would never have chosen to appear in such a “sudden” way, and the other party would never have known beforehand that he would have summoned Professor Rhodes to his side.
As long as the other party is not an imperial spy, Choi Lingfeng is prepared to ignore their identities and make a bet!
Let's just say they're really Red Lotus!
After all, having the blood of a hero, knowing the root of it, can betray Cheng Xuanxin with one hand. What can the so-called "origin” prove?
For a government in exile that lacks high-end combat power and has been quite passive in its dealings with the Federation of Xingyao, the emergence of Red Lotus Squad may add a lot of chips to the next negotiations, and perhaps they can really become a government in exile… final hope!
Choi Lingfeng took a deep breath and thought it through.
The extraordinary computational power of a managed meta-baby has reached its limit, with bows open from left to right and a western sprinkle. While the “Red Lotus Secret” is well counterfeited by light driving, a speech called "All-Ship Compatriots Book" has been drafted.
Soon after, this speech was transformed into a powerful, nail-cut sound wave, rolling, spreading and shaking in every corner of the Firefly!
Just calmed down from the unpredictable turmoil, the crew and passengers, scared, shoulder to shoulder, holding hands, quietly listening to a special force called "Red Lotus Squad”, a strange story; listening to a superhero called "Lin Jiu”, how, at the dawn of a thousand shots, to the legend!
