Only My Way

“Esteemed Sir, I am Pang Qichen from the [Wind Eagle Dynasty].”

“Today, upon seeing the floating rune warship Your Excellency is currently using, I find it incredibly familiar… It seems to be the private property of another member of our [Wind Eagle Dynasty], but that item, in theory, should be slumbering deep within the ancient ruins beneath [Hidden Question Country], and should not exist in the world…”

“I wonder if Your Excellency could perhaps resolve some of the questions in our hearts?”

When the group of five from the [Wind Eagle Dynasty] had made ample preparations and appeared together directly in front of the floating rune warship.

None of the five made any superfluous movements or actions, merely leaking a bit of their own aura.

The floating rune warship, which had originally been speeding along, immediately halted its advance, instead quietly hovering motionless in the air.

Currently.

Although deep down, they harbored some ill intentions.

Ultimately.

The group of five actually had little confidence in their own ideas.

Because they were completely unaware of the origin and strength of the current user of this floating rune warship.

Therefore, before figuring out the other party's identity and strength, the five dared not reveal their true thoughts, and could only take some roundabout ways to test the target.

Coincidentally, as members of the [Wind Eagle Dynasty], they had a very suitable reason to contact the other party by using this floating rune warship.

If the other party ignored them.

Then it was likely out of guilt.

Or insufficient strength, or a weak background, or a poor state.

If they paid attention to them.

Then through the various responses made by the other party.

They could completely grasp the other party's approximate actual situation by following the clues.

Based on this, they could freely choose whether to give up on the target and strategically retreat, or to seize the opportunity to take down the other party in one fell swoop.

Just like that.

In a short period of time, the five also thought a lot.

As for the original owner of the floating rune warship—Chi Tianyou—everyone didn't care much.

Even if the five would really ask some questions related to the other party in the following questioning, it was just an excuse.

Essentially, the five didn't really care about the other party.

This was a decision based on the special composition of the [Wind Eagle Dynasty].

Back then.

In order to successfully enclose a relatively wealthy territory in the [Northern Region], several [True Appearance Realm Cultivators] who had no blood relationship but simply had a good relationship decided to jointly build a country.

A country whose overall administrative structure was somewhat similar to the parliamentary system of Ling Wuyuan's previous life…

And that country was the [Wind Eagle Dynasty].

Although they also had a [National Lord].

But that title, compared to those traditional dynasties, was something that was rotated.

It was not something that was passed down from father to son, or from brother to brother upon death…

This situation, although it seemed relatively fair, allowed the various forces within, each with a [True Appearance Realm Cultivator] to hold the line, to have the opportunity to take turns appearing as [National Lord], and also allowed the entire dynasty to look very strong, possessing a large number of [True Appearance Realm Cultivators].

However, their power structure, from the basic level, determined that they could hardly achieve complete unity, and it was very difficult to consistently devote efforts to certain long-term plans, requiring constant internal balancing.

One voice dominates?

That was impossible.

Therefore.

If the other dynasties were a whole.

Then the [Wind Eagle Dynasty] could only be described as looking like a whole…

Just like at this moment.

Even if the problem had already involved a guy like Chi Tianyou, who had an extremely high status within the [Wind Eagle Dynasty], but with the other party already dead… the importance of that problem directly plummeted!

Everyone didn't care how the other party died…

Even.

With the other party's death.

Chi Tianyou's power in the [Wind Eagle Dynasty] had already ushered in a certain degree of liquidation in a short period of time.

Many of the official positions and resources that originally belonged to them were being quickly transferred, leaving only a negligible share.

A share that was still in line with their current strength…

Big fish eat small fish.

And even eat their own people.

If that force still had a [Divine Power Realm Cultivator] who could barely hold up the scene even now.

Perhaps.

Just the joint attack from their own people would be enough to quickly destroy it…

Currently.

When Pang Qichen asked the question.

Although there was still a distance of several kilometers between each other, and the middle was filled with chaotic air currents.

According to reason, normal talking voices could not be heard by the other party at all.

But everyone knew that there were no difficulties in communication between the two sides.

So the group of five also silently waited for the answer from the opposite side.

At this moment, accompanied by the fierce whistling of the wind or the air currents.

In silence.

Many thoughts also emerged in the hearts of the five.

At the same time.

Extremely vast power had already been flowing secretly within the five's bodies.

This situation showed that although they had not yet directly shown hostility to the target.

But various preparations were still being made at all times…

Without letting the five wait too long.

Their target soon responded to the matter.

Some responses that made them feel unexpected.

First of all, it was a sigh containing a hint of helplessness.

“So that's how it is.”

“The problem is with this floating rune warship?”

“I was just saying, why have I always felt that things have been a little off in the past few days…”

Up to this point.

Pang Qichen and others could still understand the meaning in the target's words.

Along with a little bit of surprise.

They did not expect that even though they had tried their best to disguise themselves, and had never rashly approached the target, they would still be noticed to be wrong.

In an instant.

In their hearts, they instinctively raised the target's strength a bit higher.

Then, they soon heard some rather strange content:

“I really didn't expect that the two times problems occurred were due to the floating rune warship, it seems that I and these vehicles are more or less fated to clash… Oh, no, this situation seems to be exactly what I want… So, I and these vehicles are actually… fated to be together?”

That was an extremely puzzled tone, but the content made Pang Qichen and others completely unable to understand.

Then.

In front of them.

The floating rune warship directly disappeared.

Only a figure remained in place.

Looking at the figure that had already appeared.

The five people present immediately whispered in shock, ecstasy, doubt… and other uneasy emotions:

“Ling Wuyuan!?”

That was an unbelievable tone!!!
