In the quiet hall, Nalan Shiying slowly stood up.
She recorded the latest physical data of Dongcheng Rushi and Jie respectively, and planned to leave here and go to her own laboratory for research.
The sword energy space, which was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, began to separate layer by layer.
The man in black followed Nalan Shiying silently into the elevator.
The elevator slowly went up fifteen meters underground. After entering the password three times, it finally reached the surface.
The elevator opened, Nalan Shiying walked out and went in another direction.
Calm and indifferent, seemingly without any emotion or aura, the man in black glanced at Nalan Shiying and slowly walked out of the elevator.
Outside the elevator is a majestic and somewhat incredible hall. The length of more than a thousand meters is divided into rooms one after another. In the central area, there is a rockery fish pond and a small garden. The huge space and the nearly twenty-meter-high dome make the room more spacious.
The entire hall looks majestic, and standing in it, everyone can feel their own insignificance.
This is not a hall, it's just a small square.
The man in black watched quietly.
The combatants and civilian personnel belonging to the Eastern Palace in sight were constantly going in and out, in twos and threes, constantly communicating.
There are not many people in the East Palace, so this forward-thinking hall looks extremely empty.
The man in black stood there for a while, then moved forward silently and walked out of the main entrance of the hall.
The main entrance of the hall is a huge fountain square. Thousands of springs are constantly spraying transparent water columns. The water columns rush up to an altitude of tens of meters and meet and fall in the center.
A majestic black giant sword stood at the center of the water jet. The giant sword was the same height as the huge castle behind the man in black. Countless water splashes slowly flowed on the giant sword, shining with colorful colors in the sun.
light.
The corner of the man in black's mouth twitched.
He has almost never seen such a large fountain square. Let alone Tiannan, a fountain square of this size can almost be regarded as a landmark building even in Youzhou.
He narrowed his eyes, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said softly: "This is really the style of the nouveau riche."
His figure passed directly by the Fountain Square, walked straight forward, and stepped onto a green lawn.
There was a group of white pigeons roaming freely on the lawn, which were not afraid of people. Several young women from the East Palace seemed to be taking advantage of their break time to feed the pigeons on the lawn. The white pigeons fluttered their wings and landed on their palms to peck at the corn in their palms, which caused a stir.
There was a burst of crisp and energetic laughter.
A large golden retriever dog lay lazily in the middle of the lawn.
Before the man in black came close, the big dog lying lazily in the grass had straightened up and looked straight in the direction of the man in black.
The man in black's body suddenly stiffened.
It's a little embarrassing, but also a little incredible.
He looked at the golden retriever in front of him, a little confused, and couldn't completely understand how the other party found him.
The big dog, which seemed to have a very docile temperament, slowly arched its body and let out a low growl in its throat, as if it was about to pounce at any moment.
The man in black frowned.
The sword energy around him shook slightly.
The golden retriever's tail suddenly stood up, and his whole body tensed to the extreme.
It can't see me, but it can feel the sword energy around it?
The man in black frowned, his figure flashed, and he instantly passed the golden retriever.
The golden retriever whined and turned twice, seemingly confused.
It ran around for a while, seemingly not sensing any danger. It whimpered and lazily photographed it again.
"It's all a mess..."
The man in black murmured to himself, passed by the lawn, and stepped onto a wide arch bridge.
Under the arch bridge is clear water.
The circulating living water surrounds the entire East Palace.
This is a huge artificial lake.
The man in black stood on the other end of the bridge and looked back at the East Palace.
The huge six-story castle of the Eastern Palace faced the dark giant sword in front of the door, like a giant standing in front of a hill, so tall, so majestic, with a large shadow, almost blocking the sun.
The man in black glanced expressionlessly, turned and left.
His figure is getting further and further away.
There is a busy construction site on the edge of the majestic East Palace. It is very noisy. Construction teams from different places are busy with their work. An office building should be built where the man in black is, and plans are being made for a farther place.
Camp? Or maybe a canteen.
This area is destined to become the East Palace in the future, but currently, the construction site area alone is larger than the already built East Palace, and much larger.
The man in black could clearly feel the pace and ambition of the Eastern Palace.
This place is destined to be the center of the Eastern Palace in the future.
And the entire Xuanyuan City will be accommodated bit by bit by the East Palace.
Everything in the entire city will become part of the Eastern Palace.
There are no ordinary citizens here anymore.
The residents here will be the staff and combatants of the Eastern Palace, as well as their families and clans. This city will become Li Tianlan’s private territory, with a small population, comfortable environment, luxurious facilities, and a large number of
Funds...and...the people of the city.
Many years from now, this place will inevitably become one of the most beautiful cities in Central Continent, one of the most prosperous cities, and a city with the strongest cohesion of residents.
This is the New Town Plan.
A plan that basically copied Beihai Wang's ideas, but also summarized some of the shortcomings of Emperor Bingshan, so it became more perfect in the later stages.
The man in black walked out of the construction site and looked at the city that was changing almost every day. He was silent for a long time.
This is his dream scene.
It was also the future he had fantasized about a long time ago.
This is also the prospect that he thinks a wealthy family that can remain aggressive against all forces and countries and can unite around a hegemonic country should have.
He had imagined many times the scene that was very similar to the one in the East Palace today.
But he can't do it.
Even though he now controls Tiandu Purgatory.
Even Tiandu Purgatory is still considered a superpower in the dark world.
but...
No money.
This is the most distressing point.
Li Kuangtu, dressed in black, had a twisted and complicated expression.
Tiandu Purgatory is the same as the Li family in the past.
But the Li family in the past did not represent Tiandu Purgatory.
Tiandu Purgatory, which collapsed and then regrouped from the Li family, indeed inherited many things from the Li family, including wealth, talents in all aspects, and powerful warriors...
But after all, it is not the complete Li family.
He has been lurking in the East Island for many years and accumulated a lot of wealth.
Kuangtu Li is rich.
Investments of hundreds of millions or even billions are not a problem for him.
He can even get tens of billions.
But compared with Li Tianlan, he really looks like a poor man with the little money in his hand.
When the new city plan first came to his ears, it was like a joke. The income created by the five Eastern European countries was indeed terrifying, and the investment in the Eastern Palace led by Shengshi Fund was indeed large. Under normal circumstances, Li Tianlan was indeed not short of money.
But no one thinks that the East Palace can really launch the new city plan.
The establishment of Xuanyuan City is like a signal.
donghuang
The palace invested all the money in the shortest possible time. The money was consumed crazily and Xuanyuan City continued to develop.
Even during this period when Zhongzhou gradually reduced its support for Xuanyuan City, the East Palace did not stop.
Where does the money come from?
This is the question that puzzles Li Kuangtu the most.
The professionals in Tiandu Purgatory have already made professional statistics. Even if the interests of the five Eastern European countries are beyond imagination, it is impossible for the Eastern Palace to mobilize such huge funds.
As Zhongzhou's attitude gradually became clearer, the wealthy families investing in the Eastern Palace began to become cautious. Such a situation would inevitably cause the Eastern Palace's funds to break.
But here's the problem.
Not only are there no problems with the funds of the East Palace, but they can mobilize more and more money. This can be seen from their overall transformation of Xuanyuan City. The construction and expansion of the East Palace and the overall transformation of Xuanyuan City will be completed in the near future.
In one year, Xuanyuan City Changning Qiancheng launched dozens of large-scale projects.
They really didn't think about the problem of funding breaks.
In fact, their funds have not been broken.
Tiandu Purgatory still hasn’t figured out where the money came from.
But today, it no longer matters where the money comes from.
The important thing is that the new city plan of Donghuang Palace is actually possible.
At this rate, it will take up to five years.
In five years, Xuanyuan City will become a complete Eastern Palace.
With all kinds of resources flowing in endlessly, this means that in up to six or seven years, the entire Tiannan will become the back garden of the Eastern Palace.
What everyone doesn't know, or what they subconsciously ignore, is Kuangtu Li's current martial arts.
To be precise, it was his secret that suddenly appeared after lying dormant for many years.
In the past twenty years or so, in everyone's minds, the biggest traitor in Central Continent has long since fallen.
Back then, Xia Zhi sacrificed his martial arts foundation to withstand a blow from Li Kuangtu's vicious weapon. While destroying the vicious weapon, he almost completely destroyed Li Kuangtu's martial arts foundation.
He completely fell under the siege of several invincible realm and many peak thunder realm masters.
This is the impression in everyone's mind.
No one knew that he could recover and lurk in the East Island to form Tiandu Purgatory.
When Tiandu Purgatory was first born, the god who could compete with Wang Tianzong could be said to be brilliant, but except for a few people, no one knew the true identity of the god.
His identity was completely exposed during the chaos in Eastern Europe two years ago.
But as that eternal sword over Mormans ended Wang Tianzong, that era had come to an end.
Maybe someone will pay attention to Wang Tianzong.
But there are very few people paying attention to Kuangtu Li.
Even fewer people pay attention to Li Kuangtu's martial arts.
There are almost no people who want to know how Kuangtu Li can reach the peak level of invincibility when his foundation is almost destroyed.
The martial art Li Kuangtu has been exposed to since he was a child is Sword Twenty-Four.
Li's Sword Twenty-Four.
But it also accommodates many of the strengths of the Beihai Wang clan and Lin clan martial arts.
With all his martial arts foundation almost completely destroyed, he completed the most desperate Nirvana.
He embarked on his own path when he was in his worst condition.
Seal of Immortality, Seal of Immortality.
The inspiration he absorbed from Sword Twenty-Four transformed into a new secret skill, which became the key to rebuilding his foundation.
The most important thing is that he once had a dragon vein, although it was only a part of the dragon vein.
Although his dragon veins have disappeared inexplicably now, a large amount of vitality is still nourishing his flesh and blood.
Strong recovery ability.
Reshape the foundation of martial arts.
All this means that no matter how serious his injury is, as long as he is not dead, he can recover faster than others and other masters at the same level.
During the chaos in Eastern Europe, he was the first to wake up from his coma.
After staying in Tiannan for two years without taking any action, everyone thought that his injury was serious and even completely disabled.
He stood in the darkness where no one could see and silently recovered from his injuries.
His injuries were more serious than those of Lin Fengting.
But today, his condition is even slightly better than Lin Fengting.
Those injuries haven't healed yet.
But now he is the real number one master in the dark world.
Kuangtu Li is not in a hurry, not at all.
He felt he still had enough time.
The game between Beihai, Zhongzhou, and the wealthy groups has been in a stalemate. With each advance and retreat, the three parties are trying their best to maintain a balance.
Before the outcome of the game comes out, it will be difficult for Li Tianlan to get out of the desert prison.
As for Li Tianlan's age and physical condition, it is almost impossible for him to enter the invincible state.
In Li Kuangtu's view, this kind of game is the fastest, and there will be a relatively clear result only after next year's general election.
In other words, he still has at least one year of opportunity to recuperate in a low-key manner.
It is difficult for him to be sure that he will recover in a year, but he has his advantages. The seal of longevity and the seal of immortality are enough to make his condition better in the next year, further leaving behind Lin Fengting, who is also recovering from his injuries.
He will undoubtedly feel more confident when the time comes.
Even if something unexpected happens in the middle, the game time will be further extended.
Kuangtu Li had already begun to think of ways to intervene in the internal game of Zhongzhou, intending to create some chaos.
But he never thought that Chen Fangqing would be so stupid as to launch a bullshit ending plan.
The most ridiculous thing is that this plan was completely exposed not long after it started.
Li Kuangtu, who had no psychological preparation, was completely dumbfounded as he watched all this develop rapidly. Before anyone could react, the academic group had successfully withdrawn. Chen Fangqing, who had the upper hand in the game, directly started his final game.
Drastic measures.
He no longer pays attention to the so-called balance, let alone the future impact.
So because of the withdrawal of the academic faction from the whole game, Chen Fangqing, who had no choice but to use an extremely radical method, sealed the desert prison.
The game turned into a real war.
There is no doubt that Chen Fangqing lost.
He may not be considered a complete failure now.
But when General Li Tianlan came out of the desert prison, the shocking sword strike in the sky meant that the wealthy group and the Southeast Group had achieved a staged victory in this war.
Something happened to Haoyue Group.
Something happened to the special operations group.
All this is the counterattack of Li Tianlan and Wang Shengxiao.
What will happen next is almost easy to guess.
Kuangtu Li couldn't figure out why Chen Fangqing was so stupid. Maybe it wasn't stupidity, but that he had no choice from the moment the termination plan was exposed.
The termination plan was not a mistake, the only mistake was that it was exposed.
Kuangtu Li didn't bother to think about what else was going on, the reality was before him.
He originally wanted to wait a little longer.
But Li Tianlan's strength was beyond his expectation.
According to Li Tianlan's current growth rate, within three years, even if he recovers from his injury, he may not be able to defeat Li Tianlan.
Not to mention three years later, now, Li Tianlan has Xuanyuan Feng in hand. With Xuanyuan Feng having sufficient energy, he is no longer sure of victory.
This is a very scary thing.
For Li Kuangtu, this is even the most terrifying thing
things.
Once he cannot defeat Li Tianlan, or is suppressed by Li Tianlan, he can imagine what will happen to him.
Everything that belongs to him will be taken away by Li Tianlan.
Because they all come from the Li family, for many people in Tiandu Purgatory, the sense of belonging deep inside is actually the same.
There are not many people who are die-hard loyal to Li Tianlan.
There are also not many people who are die-hard fans of Kuangtu Li.
Most people in Tiandu Purgatory feel a sense of belonging to the Li family.
Once he is left behind by Li Tianlan, with his infinite possibilities in the future, Kuangtu Li will almost be left with nothing in the shortest possible time.
So Li Kuangtu didn't want to wait, and he didn't dare to wait.
He originally planned to wait a few years.
When the Eastern Palace completely swallows up Xuanyuan City, and when everything in the Eastern Palace is completed and matures, as long as he kills Li Tianlan, he can take over everything Li Tianlan left behind as quickly as possible and become the new Eastern Emperor.
This meant that he could get an entire city, a city that cost a lot of money to build that he couldn't even imagine.
If Tiandu Purgatory obtains the complete East Imperial Palace and Xuanyuan City, it is almost equivalent to obtaining the entire Tiannan.
Tiandu Purgatory will suddenly become the most terrifying force in the dark world.
But Li Tianlan's growth rate made him dare not procrastinate any longer.
Under the sun, Li Kuangtu stood on the edge of the construction site, muttering something to himself silently, and then shook his head.
He stood there and waited for a minute, and a dark Passat slowly drove over.
If this was a Tiannan two years ago, it could be said to be an absolute luxury car.
But in Xuanyuan City now, it is a completely inconspicuous ordinary car.
Li Kuangtu sat in the car, rubbed his forehead, and let out a long breath.
"How about Luna?"
The driver was another invincible person from Tiandu Purgatory, Li Xiaoxiao.
His injuries have completely recovered, but he is not yet in a stable state, and his powerful aura keeps rising and falling.
"not good."
Li Kuangtu whispered: "It's very bad."
His voice was a little suppressed.
Dawn was silent for a while, started the car, and said softly: "It may not be hopeless. I have heard of that silver-eyed man in Beihai. He can be regarded as an authoritative figure in this field. Now the cooperation between Beihai and Donghuang Palace is in a critical period. Even for
In order to please Li Tianlan, the Beihai Wang family will definitely work harder to let Yinmu rescue Yueshen, and it is a good thing to let her stay here temporarily."
"Her efficiency is too slow. Maybe I should talk to Beihai Wang, of course, after the decisive battle."
Li Kuangtu narrowed his eyes.
After the decisive battle, he will deal with Li Tianlan and annex the Eastern Palace before Zhongzhou can react.
And after the decisive battle, if Li Tianlan died, the current situation in Central Continent would be different.
Dawn was silent for a while, without speaking.
"How about Dawn on the East Island?"
Li Kuangtu suddenly asked.
"all the best."
Dawn nodded: "Mai Shiranui is very cooperative. At present, Dawn has regained control of Liuhuo Palace. Our chess pieces have been activated in Tiandu. It is certain that Dongdao will take back the southern part of Beihai Province in this decisive battle.
If we invest a considerable amount of power into them, they will inevitably be empty inside. With the cooperation of Flowing Fire Palace, we can get back part of the authority of the East Island."
The Palace of Flowing Fire is a name that has been dimmed in the dark world for several years.
This is also a martial arts force that was as famous as Wuji Palace and Hayate Yuken Ryu a few years ago.
Miyamoto Shinichi, the master of the Ryūhuo Palace, is also recognized as the pinnacle of ninjas in the entire dark world. He controls the most elite kamikaze troops on the East Island. In terms of actual power, he is only higher than Amami Moki and Yagyu Kuraizumi.
But in the decisive battle in Tiandu five years ago, the invincible Miyamoto Shinichi fell into the hands of Jie.
As a result, Jie broke through and became invincible with the Qi control realm.
However, Flowing Fire Palace has never recovered since then.
After Tiandu Purgatory entered the East Island, young palace master Mai Shiranui was the first to seek refuge in Tiandu Purgatory, and the sphere of influence of Liuhuo Palace was maintained under the protection of Tiandu Purgatory.
As Tiandu Purgatory began to gradually withdraw from the East Island in the past two years, Liuhuo Palace was also constantly being annexed by the other two martial arts forces. Now that there is an opportunity to establish contact with Tiandu Purgatory again, Shiranui has no way out.
Wu didn't have any chance to refuse.
"When the decisive battle happened, I went to East Island and killed all the cats and dogs. After seeing the outcome of the decisive battle, I was thinking about whether I should talk to the Emperor of East Island."
The corners of Li Kuangtu's mouth slightly raised, and his smile was a bit mocking.
Dawn is now an invincible master. Together with Liming and Phoenix, they bring the elite of Tiandu Purgatory to the East Island again. When the East Island devotes most of its strength to the decisive battle, it can completely sweep everything.
After the decisive battle, in the worst possible situation, Tiandu Purgatory can regain control of the East Island.
The best situation is naturally to control the voice of the dark world of Central Continent and the East Island, unify Tiannan, conquer the underground world of Southeast Asia, and establish a true dynasty.
Li Kuangtu looked out the window.
His eyes were extremely bright, like two wildfires burning.
Li Xiao hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Dongdao won't be a big problem. I can go to Beihai with you."
Li Kuangtu was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "It's not necessary."
He is confident enough in his own strength.
"Oh my God... Li Tianlan may not be able to defeat him if he holds Xuanyuan Feng."
Dawn said calmly.
Li Kuangtu laughed: "I'm not fighting him in a duel. Xuanyuan Feng is indeed very strong, but in essence it is just a vicious weapon. Its energy will always be exhausted. After all, in the decisive battle, he faced more than one
In the invincible state, when Xuanyuan Feng's energy is almost exhausted, I will take action, which can determine his life or death in an instant."
Dawn was silent for a while and held the steering wheel tightly.
He glanced at Kuangtu Li through the rearview mirror, hesitated, and said softly: "Your Highness."
"Um?"
Li Kuangtu glanced at him.
"How much strength has been restored now?"
Dawn asked softly.
This is something that every high-level executive in Tiandu Purgatory is very concerned about.
Everyone knows that Li Kuangtu secretly recovered very quickly and was in very good condition. This was also an important source of confidence for them to plot against the East Island again.
But no one knows how much Li Kuangtu has recovered.
Li Kuangtu was silent for a while and said calmly: "Under normal conditions, I have recovered about 70%, which is similar to my state in my prime before going to Eastern Europe."
My eyes lit up at dawn.
The state before going to Eastern Europe.
At that time, Kuangtu Li was a god, capable of breaking through to the peak of invincibility at any time!
This is Kuangtu Li's normal state now...
Li Kuangtu smiled and continued: "If necessary, I can exert about 90% of my strength in a short period of time, which is enough to cope with any situation."
Li Kuangtu's current strength is 90%...
This is not his current peak state.
But it has definitely exceeded the limit of the peak invincibility.
Dawn was silent for a moment, then laughed: "Then I'll go back to Dongdao."
He was talking about returning to Dongdao.
Not going.
It is to return to the territory that once belonged to you.
Li Kuangtu nodded and whispered: "Everything we lost will be brought back."
