Xia Dai Ti carried Li Rui flying in the sky.

  Jinghu City is over 500 kilometers away from here, which is not too far for Xia Dai, who can fly.

  Given the gravity of the situation, she decided to attend the lord's gathering in person. At the same time, she brought her trusted little clever ghost to help with the assessment.

  In case of an emergency in Greenhaven Castle, you can contact Barteus Powderkeg, who is on duty this time.

  At 200 kilometers per hour, the wind whistled by, and Li Rui was carried away uncomfortably, unable to help but shout: "Lady, not so hard!"

  Xia Dai gave him a sideways glance and didn't say anything.

  "Hey, hey! Let me ride on your back, it's more energy-efficient that way!"

  As soon as the words fell, Xia Dai let go directly, and Li Rui fell straight down like a plummet. After shouting a few sentences, the lady caught him and held him in her arms to continue flying.

  Although it wasn't as expected, this posture was also very comfortable. Unfortunately, both of them were wearing elaborate decorative armor, so they couldn't carefully feel the physique of the Golden Stage strongman.

  Li Rui became extremely arrogant after both he and his partner reached the Silver Rank, and he no longer showed the same respect to Xia Dai as before, always trying to provoke him.

  Considering Li Rui's current status and position, the lady didn't take him seriously, which only added to his arrogance.

  Seeing Xia Dai still with a serious face, silently flying forward, Li Rui spoke up: "Will the Yuexue Sect really have a solution?"

  Xia Dai thought for a moment and said, "With great fanfare and even borrowing the imperial family's name, inviting all the lords from across the empire, there must be some way, let's go take a look."

  The original Blood Sect has a long history, although its doctrine is strange and notorious, it can set up chambers of commerce in all cities of the empire, and participate in all industries with high profits such as slaves, oddities, and alchemy, which is enough to show the sect's strength.

  Even Rui, a first-rate guardian, would patronize their business, and the hidden forces lurking in the shadows were even more terrifying.

  ~~~~

  Jinghu City has arrived.

  The city is named after a beautiful lake like a mirror next to it. The water contains salt and heavy metals, so it won't wrinkle with the breeze like ordinary lakes, just like a green mirror, very beautiful.

  The venue was set up by the lake, and Li Rui followed Xia Dai to socialize with everyone. There were still many familiar faces, most of whom were the lords he had met at the auction. Everyone had a good impression of Li Rui, whether they were gold or silver, and they were all happy to interact with him.

  Nan Jing's guardian Aqi enthusiastically came up and hugged him, while Ai Sha also stepped forward to touch his head and cheek.

  Xia Dai glanced at her son-in-law with hairy feet and unexpectedly found him quite popular.

  After a big round of socializing, the two arrived at this side where the Western Border Lords were waiting. The leader was Lady Sherine, and Rui didn't come because he wasn't fully recovered from his injuries.

  ~~~~~

  Northern Border Guardians - Carlos Aurora and Princess Elisa arrive on the scene, they are currently allies due to having a common enemy, Aki.

  Carlos had a sturdy build and red hair typical of the people from the north, with large ears, high nose and thick lips. He looked at Elisa with lustful eyes, licked his lips and opened his mouth:

  "Your Highness, let's hold the ceremony as soon as possible and announce it to the entire empire, becoming formal partners. Our union will surely make the empire shine with eternal brilliance."

  Elisa lowered her head and forced herself to endure the disgust, having been stared at by men since she was a child, she should have been used to it, but Carlos' gaze made her feel like there were countless small insects crawling on her skin, making her extremely nauseous.

  Sardin wrinkled his brow and said nothing, and the crowd soon arrived at the venue.

  Aiqi smiled ambiguously at Carlos' arrival, her clear voice ringing out across the room:

  "Lord Carlos, you're looking well. Is it because you've been serving that 'abnormally developed evil creature'? You two really are a match made in heaven."

  This is a derogatory term given by Aki to Elisa. The E-cup is too cheating for superwomen without extra meat.

  Elisa remained silent with a cold face. Carlos sneered, "Don't be impatient, you cheap woman. I will make you and your idiot sister experience the ultimate pain."

  Sardin stepped out to interrupt the gunpowder-filled atmosphere of the two, announcing the start of the meeting.

  ~~~~~~

  "Honorable bloodlines, I am Sardin, the Shepherd of the Original Blood Sect. Today, 30 imperial masters have arrived on the scene, and the main reason for gathering everyone is to discuss the decline of the Liang Dynasty."

  As he spoke, a gold-robed mage lit up a giant glyph, a long-distance ether communication spell that allowed the absent lords to listen in and see several static images, receiving real-time messages.

  "Thank you, Master Kate. This is Bishop Southbound of the Sect - 'Weaver' Kate."

  Kate bowed her head in respect.

  Sardin simply introduced one sentence and continued:

  "It is well-known that after the Shattered Day, God's Chosen Land never gave birth to another god-level expert. Whether it was because of the sun or the decline of bloodlines, these are no longer important. The Rhombus Day is in constant decline, and we urgently need a solution."

  Sardin said slowly:

  "I know that many of you lords don't care. This small matter will only cause heavy casualties among ordinary people, but for those standing at the top of the mortal world like you, it's not worth worrying about."

  Moreover, there is news that Markov the Emperor has appeared. Are many people thinking: The Emperor must be here to save the world, if everything goes wrong, can't he just set himself on fire?

  Many people listened silently, and those who thought so were not in the minority.

  "Suddenly, Sardin shouted: 'Foolish and ignorant! What qualifications do we have, what face do we have to expect the dedication of a mortal god?! Do not hold any more blasphemous thoughts, this time the crisis, my original Blood Sect has already had the best plan!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, five men wearing hoods and carrying a strange object on their shoulders walked forward.

  Li Rui's eyes widened in surprise: "How does this thing look like an airplane?!"

  This thing is about 15 meters long, with a very sci-fi appearance, having an arc-shaped sharp edge and crescent-shaped double wings. The overall color is dark and the material cannot be seen, it's definitely not metal, somewhat like a biological exoskeleton.

  "Carrier-based aircraft of 'Wing-blade' type"

  What the fuck! Li Rui was stunned.

  "Sardine's face was flushed with fervor as he shouted: 'Everyone, if we say that Hyndor is a furnace, the Goddess of Dawn has already prepared the stove, and all we need to do is add firewood! And to maintain the eternal flame~the Golden Sufficient is enough! The plan of our sect is——to select one person who dedicates himself, ride on the 'Devil's' vehicle and fly into Hyndor to ignite himself!"

  As soon as this was said, the lords had different reactions. The city masters who did not attend to listen to the live broadcast also sent messages one after another, all thinking it was too childish and unbelievable.

  Sardin waved his hand to calm down the noise and shouted:

  "I've calculated it carefully, and with just one Golden Rank sacrifice, the furnace can burn vigorously for nearly a hundred years! Using Eternal Gold as fuel to let the sun continue shining, what a wonderful deal!"

  Everyone stared at him with an incredulous expression: Let the noble Eternal Gold, the Imperial Lord, go be a firewood?!
