I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 479 - : 479. Core Formation

Chapter 479: 479. Core Formation

Liao Qe’s beautiful legs and dainty feet could pull off silk stockings of any color.

In the days that followed, Lu Yao tore them up to his heart’s content, until there was not a single pair left.

But that didn’t matter, for there were still plenty of amusing items in the box brought back from the Joyful Sect.

Silver chain lingerie, strings of glass beads, all brought endless fun.

The two clung to each other day and night in unbridled joy, until one day Liao Qe’s shouts were so loud they shocked Liao Ya out of her seclusion.

The Sect Leader reprimanded them both fiercely, and only then did they become somewhat restrained.

Despite the scolding, Liao Qe was beaming inside.

Her beloved being addicted to her body delighted her, even more than when she had made her breakthrough to the Innate level.

There was just one small puzzle—the beautiful pair of nipple covers had disappeared.

After searching and finding nothing, Liao Qe scratched her head in confusion:

“Strange… My memory has been particularly good since the stabilization, I shouldn’t have misremembered…”

~~~~~~~~~~

Lu Yao had a great time these past few days, but a storm was brewing in the outside world.

As he suggested, no sooner had Li Pei established the temporary government than he started taxing the wealthy families within the controlled area.

These people only outwardly submitted due to Lu Yao’s military might. Normally, everyone lived well, but the moment taxes were levied, they exploded in anger!

As everyone knows, these rich and powerful families, no matter the era or nation, seldom pay taxes.

They displayed their divine skills in opposition, first by using newspapers and other media to accuse The New Dynasty of draconian tax collection and extreme exploitation, claiming it resulted in the people’s suffering.

Then they contacted high officials of the temporary government—Zhang Wenda, Li Zhongtang, Dong Fuxiang, as well as Li Pei’s father, and even went to plead with the left minister, hoping he’d speak on their behalf.

But to no avail!

The tax Li Pei wanted to levy was not excessive and was utterly reasonable for a nation; yet for this group, it was as if their very lifelines were being threatened, leading to a fierce backlash.

Li Pei showed no mercy and sent the Imperial Guards’ Mecha Warriors to raid the homes of the two most flustered families, among them the portly Prince he had encountered on his way home.

It was then that Li Pei finally remembered who this person was—Prince Li Le.

To crack down so harshly even on his own relative quieted the rest immediately.

Though they ceased their public clamor, they were still restless in private.

This was the moment for an assassination attempt to take place.

But this was difficult…

Assassinating an Innate Martial Artist protected by a Magical Treasure and the shield of a Flawless Grandmaster, all under the watchful eye of the Divine Manifestation…

If they had that capability, they would have become Emperors themselves long ago!

Thus, their gaze turned to Grandmaster Yuan Kaisheng.

~~~~~~~~~~

Inside the State City, within the Governor-general of Liangjiang’s headquarters.

Yuan Kaisheng and Liu Kunyi sat together, going through the telegrams and letters, triumphant.

“Good! Good! Good!” The usually somber Yuan Kaisheng was uncharacteristically joyful: “That demon Lu Yao has actually severed his own foundation!”

Liu Kunyi also wore a smile: “This is excellent. Let the heroes of the world see this man’s true face and turn to support us.”

“Over half of the nation’s wealthy families have indicated their support for us!” Yuan Kaisheng waved several letters, full of vigor:

“These major families working together can disrupt the economic order under the demon Lu Yao’s rule, even severing the food trade!”

With the Northern regions invaded by the Coalition Forces of the Great Powers and the harvest failing, such actions would certainly lead to a severe famine!

Liu Kunyi added: “Einhedt will send a royal family member to visit and publicly express support for our cause. With such multifaceted efforts, I doubt Lu Yao would dare act recklessly.”

Yuan Kaisheng nodded slightly: “Thus, maintaining the status quo should be no issue.

Once the great powers have cleared their agendas, they will surely be able to easily deal with Lu Yao. Our great undertaking is about to succeed!”

Liu Kunyi bowed with a smile: “Then I offer my early congratulations to Lord Yuan.”

Yuan Kaisheng responded with a laugh: “Likewise, I presume the royal member from Einheit will be coming especially for Governor Liu.”

With that, the two shared a knowing, conspiratorial smile.

In their resistance against Lu Yao, they had joined forces, only to find after their alliance—their goals were complementary!

Yuan Kaisheng aspired to reach the pinnacle of human existence as the supreme ruler, whereas Liu Kunyi… sought the very first embrace! The first embrace of a king-level vampire!

~~~~~~~~~~

Days passed, and as mid-December arrived, the coronation scheduled for January 1st drew closer and closer.

Lu Yao patiently stayed at home cultivating and taking care of the Spiritual Sparrowhawk.

Even when he earned the nickname “Demon,” he remained unflustered and dismissed it with a laugh.

He had killed several Golden Body Level experts and wiped out countless powers without earning this moniker.

It was unexpected that it came about because Li Pei imposed taxes on the wealthy families, which made him known as “Lu the Demon.”

Wealthy families had deep roots and controlled everything from top to bottom; smearing someone was all too easy for them.

And this was not the only misdeed they had committed!

One day, Li Pei came back fuming and complained,

“Recently, the prices in the market have skyrocketed, especially for food! Clearly, those wealthy families are making trouble; they truly deserve to die!”

Lu Yao was not surprised, instead he smiled and said, “It seems we’ve gathered enough monsters. It’s time to start.”

“?” Li Pei did not understand what he meant:

“My lord, do you plan to make a move now? Are we going to storm their gates directly?”

“Pretty much. We’ll get rid of them all at once and give you a grand and beautiful coronation.”

Lu Yao pondered,

“But in addition to killing, we need to take over all the prefecture governments in the south. To avoid being short-handed, let’s call up the Imperial Guards and the Zhenhai Fleet.”

“I will immediately gather the troops. However…”

Li Pei furrowed her brow with some hesitation:

“Making such a grand display might cause concerns for Lord Zuo; he doesn’t want to trigger a widespread civil war.”

“Don’t worry,” Lu Yao assured her with a confident expression, as if he had everything under control,

“I’ve acquired a magical treasure; this will be the perfect time to use it.”

“Another magical treasure?”

Li Pei was exceptionally calm, not at all surprised, as if she had grown accustomed to such things.

“Just pack two or three days’ worth of provisions; we won’t be traveling far…”

Lu Yao was in the midst of speaking when suddenly, three overwhelmingly powerful auras exploded in the backyard, followed by three loud, piercing cries!

“It’s the Spiritual Sparrowhawks! They’ve achieved Core Formation!”

The two hurried over to see what had happened.

The Liao Family Sisters and Yu Yanmei were also running in that direction.

Everyone arrived to see that the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks had awakened, seemingly unchanged.

But a whirl of Qi faintly enveloped their bodies. Everyone was familiar with it—it was Innate True Qi!

“After Core Formation, the Spiritual Sparrowhawks can now harness Innate True Qi!”

Lu Yao quickly approached for a closer examination and saw that each of the little creatures had an additional spherical organ in their chests, resembling a pearl, which was pulsating with True Qi.

The Spiritual Sparrowhawks affectionately nuzzled their master with the feathers of their necks and then, full of spiritual intelligence, peeked into Lu Yao’s chest as if they were searching for something.

Lu Yao had an epiphany and pulled out a jade bottle containing Ten-Complete Immortal Pills from his chest:

“You want these to replenish your True Qi, right?”

The Spiritual Sparrowhawks nodded vigorously, and Lu Yao reassured them, “Eat up; there’s plenty where that came from!”

With that, he distributed the Elixirs and they consumed them.

After eating, the aura around the Spiritual Sparrowhawks intensified and their bodies were enshrouded in flames made of invisible True Qi!

Yu Yanmei admired, “That’s a skill only Flawless Warriors possess! Their physique is truly formidable!”

Lu Yao stroked the beautiful feathers of the Spiritual Sparrowhawks, feeling great,

“This is a good omen. Let’s finish our business as soon as possible. Peipei, go gather the people.”

“I’m on my way!”

Li Pei stroked the Spiritual Sparrowhawks and then left together with Yu Yanmei, who seemed somewhat reluctant to part.
