I Have A Martial Dao World

Seeing The Empress Dowager retreat in defeat, all the experts raised their heads to the sky, wanting to gaze upon the high-level expert that had lent assistance.

Zhang Yunshu stroked his beard and chuckled lightly, "To be able to launch an attack from such high altitude, they must be an extraordinary expert!"

Master Wu Jing joined his palms together and spoke, "All is well, all is well, our Shun Dynasty has countless hidden experts who will come forward when needed. It's also good to let those devils harboring intentions know our might!"

When a nation is on the brink of collapse, demons and monsters will emerge, but naturally, there will also be heroes and exceptional beings to uphold the world!

Yuan Kaisheng, who had joined the military and had seen much, voiced his doubts, "A plane? I have seen those from Rakshasa, Einheit, and Jiade, but they shouldn't be able to fly this high..."

Planes had just been invented and were immediately put to use on the battlefield.

The "Italian Autocannon" that Li Pei had boasted about a few days ago was originally designed to be mounted on planes.

But with the current technology, they could fly at most 7 kilometers high, so by that logic, it should have been detected by now.

Yuan Kaisheng shook his head and decided not to concern himself with it anymore.

With The Empress Dowager's failed realm advancement and the severe blow suffered, along with the exposure of the "Heart Affinity" as the Heavenly Demon's secret, some matters would have to be planned ahead of time.

~~~~~~~~

Seeing that his mission had been successfully completed, and that those below were searching for him, Lu Yao hurriedly piloted the warplane home.

Under the effect of "Minute Consciousness Control," the warplane descended like a nimble bird, landing carefully in its usual hiding spot.

The two sisters had been waiting there all along, and Liao Qe immediately threw herself into Lu Yao's arms.

Lu Yao, supporting his sister, laughed and said, "I told you I was just going on a surprise attack, there's definitely nothing to worry about."

"I was just worried, especially scared that this metal bird would fall from the sky."

"Haha, even if that happened, I would be fine~ The plane's seat has an ejection system with a built-in parachute."

After hugging and talking for a bit, Liao Ya also let out a sigh of relief, her face showing a relieved smile.

"By the way, there's big news to tell you two—The Empress Dowager actually developed the Heavenly Demon Heart Affinity!"

Lu Yao quickly recounted the events, and the two women gasped in shock, never expecting the longevity feast to be so fraught with ups and downs.

Then, Lu Yao said with some excitement, "But the Golden Body Realm is so powerful! Even a cruise missile couldn't kill her!"

His own missile had only blown away about one-third to one-fourth of The Empress Dowager's health bar.

Once reaching the Golden Body Realm, Blue Star's conventional weapons would be useless. By then, he would have the greatest assurance and trump card.

"You don't even have to reach the Golden Body Realm! Those few Innate Experts who were within the blast radius of the cruise missile just ended up with their hairstyles a bit messed up."

~~~~~~~~

The three chattered on for a while, and Li Pei along with Yu Yanmei also returned.

Under her master's protection, Li Pei was completely unharmed and sighed, "Luckily, a high-level expert intervened to disperse the Heavenly Demon Form. Otherwise, once The Empress Dowager advanced her realm, she would have surely taken complete control over the court, leading to unforeseeable disasters."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Yu Yanmei spoke coolly, "It would just be the usual debauchery and tyranny at the end of a dynasty. Lu Xiaozi once said, 'There's nothing new under the sun.'

Li Pei said somewhat dejectedly, "There will be another struggle in the court. Several Great Grandmasters will surely seize the opportunity to make their move, to eliminate The Heavenly Demon Empress Dowager's power."

"These matters are no longer our concern." Yu Yanmei gently ruffled her apprentice's hair, softly saying,

"You'll go to the Clan Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning to register. With Lu Yao to look after you, I can break through my realm with peace of mind."

Li Pei blushed and nodded her head.

Turning to Lu Yao, Yu Yanmei added, "Lu Xiaozi, you have completed the mission perfectly, you didn't waste my Innate True Qi, so please take good care of my apprentice. You cannot mistreat her."

Lu Yao solemnly assured, "Please rest assured!"

~~~~~~~~

As the sun set over West Mountain, Yu Yanmei, having sustained some injuries from a hit by Yuan Kaisheng, spoke her peace and then retired to a quiet room to rest.

Lu Yao said, "There's another thing: that Kotaro Komura has been seriously injured. Keep a close eye on him with the drone, and take the opportunity to finish him off~"

Many people have noticed the fighter jet, and bombing the Izumo Embassy directly would be too glaring. It would be best to deal with Komura in the wilderness.

Li Pei was somewhat puzzled when she heard this, "What is a drone?"

Lu Yao replied with a smile, "I have many secrets, and this is one of them. You'll broaden your horizons~ I'll show you something else in a couple of days."

The sisters immediately came out with a DJI drone and controlled it to take off.

Li Pei watched in amazement and laughed heartily, while shading her eyes with her hand, "A little airplane, huh? Fun."

She had seen propeller-driven airplanes in the Otherworld, so she easily accepted the sight of something with propellers flying.

However, her composure was instantly shattered upon seeing the tablet computer in Liao Qe's hands.

The tablet streamed clear imagery, granting a bird's-eye view from a superior vantage point, leaving nothing unchecked.

Li Pei's eyes widened as she pointed at the screen and exclaimed, "This... this... this is like having a Clairvoyant Eye!!!"

Liao Qe rolled her eyes at her and teased, "Commandery Princess Li, please keep your composure~ Don't make such a fuss, where's your royal dignity~"

Li Pei pinched the girl's bottom hard before snatching the tablet to play with it herself.

"Ow, you don't know how to use it, you'll make it crash~"

"Psh, I'm usually unflappable. What's so difficult about it? I've already learned by watching!"

Alternating turns, the two of them controlled the drone as it approached the Izumo Embassy from 3,000 meters in the air, keeping it firmly under surveillance.

The DJI drone didn't have particularly strong performance, but its small size made it very discreet and unnoticeable in the sky.

~~~~~~~~

During this Wanshou Banquet, both Lu Yao and Yu Yanmei benefited greatly—witnessing with their own eyes an essential reference for their path forward right on The Empress Dowager herself.

The two unluckiest people were The Empress Dowager and Kotaro Komura. Coincidentally, both suffered damage to their Divine Souls.

However, Komura had only his split spirit extinguished, and his injuries were much lighter; he could still receive guests. Experience new stories on empire

At this moment, he was kneeling opposite a long-haired man.

Komura solemnly took a brocade box from him and opened it; inside was a pristine, blemish-free jade bracelet.

The bracelet was not just beautiful; it made the surrounding air seemingly crystalline, extraordinarily clear and translucent.

"This is... a treasure made entirely of Ice Jade!?" Kotaro Komura couldn't help but exclaim:

"Ice Jade has been long extinct, with the remnants made into small items like rings, yet there is such a large piece!!!"

Lu Yao possessed a miraculous Ice Jade Ring which had achieved many wondrous feats, but in terms of size, it was only about 1/20th of this bracelet.

The long-haired man gave a warm smile and bowed deeply, saying, "Mr. Komura, this is a treasure Colonel Arao just found in the ruins. When he heard you were injured, he immediately sent me to deliver it!"

Komura bowed in return, "This is too valuable... It should be presented to the Emperor. Mr. Long Cang, you should take the treasure back!"

"You are too modest," the man known as Long Cang said with a smile: "Your contributions over the years are well recognized, and I often hear of them in the military. Nobody would object to you using the Ice Jade Bracelet!"

Komura bowed again, "Then I will accept it with gratitude."

Long Cang came from the army and did not belong to the same department as Komura, who was from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

But this did not prevent him from deeply respecting the other's contributions over the years.

Komura had bribed high officials from the Shun Dynasty military and the Prime Minister's Office, and even relatives of people like Li Zhongtang, providing valuable intelligence.

He himself was also a Spirit Refinement and Out-of-Body Technique expert. His "Straw Man" fragmented spirits acted as the brain and eyes of the entire intelligence system, an unrivaled position.

Long Cang even said, "I heard that the military attaché at the embassy died in action. If it's not beneath you, I am willing to serve at your command."

Komura was delighted, "Mr. Long Cang is an Innate Expert. With you, plus the Ice Jade Bracelet, there's an urgent matter at hand! We must kill someone as soon as possible!"
