He adjusted his Azure Dragon mindset, choosing to answer.
"Lord Azure Dragon." Blackbeard was very polite, always feeling a sense of fear when facing Azure Dragon, as if facing some nemesis, feeling himself being manipulated by him.
From the Northern Crown Star Ring Ascender Relics incident, Azure Dragon probed step by step, weaving a large net, making him fall into it unknowingly.
In the Central World, he had already become the backbone of power, exchanging various interests to force the Pioneer to agree to his entry into the Council.
And now, he seems to be leading some big plan, entering the game himself, finally becoming the Chess Player.
Every time Blackbeard thought about it, he could feel a sense of coldness and fear.
"How’s the investigation going?" Li Ming got straight to the point.
Blackbeard’s voice carried some caution, "I did find some clues in the Northern Crown Star Ring, there is a group of people from Prince Ryan, secretly active, and the Yitelan Civilization seems to be cooperating with them, with frequent personnel movements."
"However, the time is too short, I’m still investigating exactly what they’re doing."
"They are transporting Star Destroyer Level weapons to certain planets." Li Ming said concisely.
"Star Destroyer Level weapons?" Blackbeard was shocked, but did not speak.
Actually, he had some suspicions in his heart because he had discovered some other clues, coupled with the importance placed by the Pioneer, he had already inferred that this group’s purpose was not simple.
"What is Ryan planning?" Blackbeard couldn’t help but ask. To ensure he investigated fairly and objectively, the Pioneer didn’t tell him Azure Dragon’s narrative to avoid subjective emotions mixing with the investigation results.
But Li Ming had no such concerns, he said outright, "He’s planning to massacre the entire Northern Crown Star Ring."
"What!?" Blackbeard was completely shocked, blurting out, "How... how does he dare!?"
Li Ming shook his head, his eyes slightly flashed, "Is this all you found out? What identities do the people Ryan sent have? What are their capabilities?"
Blackbeard was not calm in his heart, a Star Ring Level interstellar massacre almost never happened, even when the interstellar alliance was not established.
More so now, in a predominantly peaceful interstellar environment, his thoughts were getting active; if this matter was confirmed, the impact on the Empire would be like a blow to its major artery.
Thinking these thoughts, he didn’t forget to answer Azure Dragon’s question, "Among the people sent, there are two S-level life forms, Sol—Sub-Elf Clan, Garrett—Sai’en Stone People Clan, they all have exceeded 60% development progress as S-level life forms, belonging to Sai’en’s backbone fighting power."
After a pause, he said worriedly, "There is also a powerful Star Beast, Swallowing Star Prison Dragon."
Didn’t find evidence of Levinbeck?
Li Ming’s heart moved slightly, but suddenly realized, his pupils narrowed slightly, and made his voice appear calm again, "Swallowing Star Prison Dragon?"
"Yeah." Blackbeard did not suspect anything, explaining, "There have always been rumors that Prince Ryan kept a terrifying Star Beast, but it was never seen."
"A few days ago, when I was tracking them, using Super Quantum Observation Ability, I almost got discovered."
"Unexpectedly, it’s Swallowing Star Prison Dragon, it’s a rare variant of the Empire’s nurtured Swallowing Star Netherworld Flood Dragon, the ability is equivalent to an S-level life form with 100% development."
Blackbeard still felt fear, "At that time, I was still puzzled about what big matter could make Prince Ryan value it so much, unexpectedly..."
Swallowing Star Prison Dragon... Li Ming was already up, pacing back and forth in the room, he obviously knew this name because he had noticed it when choosing target Star Beasts.
But he didn’t even take this creature as a target because it’s too rare, and still, a variant.
A variant is the result of a Star Beast’s good genetic mutation, with various possible outcomes, only when its ability significantly increases can it be called a variant.
His target was Swallowing Star Netherworld Flood Dragon, a Star Beast comparable to 90% development progress S-level life forms.
Swallowing Star Prison Dragon, being a variant, is even more powerful and has evolved to the extreme of S-level Star Beasts; Swallowing Star Netherworld Flood Dragon is nearly impossible to find, let alone Swallowing Star Prison Dragon.
Unexpectedly, unexpectedly...
It truly came effortlessly, Li Ming had a strong impulse to laugh, suppressing the excitement in his heart, making himself calm down.
Seeing Azure Dragon remain silent, Blackbeard tentatively said, "For such a big matter, should we hold a Pioneer conference to discuss how to maximize benefits."
Li Ming returned to his senses, said indifferently, "Yeah, you first talk with the Navigator and the Fallen Blood, see what they say."
Blackbeard’s expression was awkward; he had already sent the investigation data separately to those two people but still hadn’t received a response.
But he couldn’t say it; otherwise, it would seem disrespectful, so he could only agree, "Understood."
After ending the communication with the other party, Li Ming slowly exhaled a breath.
The sudden appearance of Swallowing Star Prison Dragon broke his original plan, but he wasn’t angry, instead, he was very excited.
Simple is the most perfect S-level Gene Seed modulation material.
"My current goal must be to get this Prison Dragon as soon as possible, but the Pioneer and my goals are different, there is a divergence." Li Ming pondered.
Soon after, Blackbeard sent him another message, inviting him to enter the Iron Throne Hall.
Since Li Ming always kept his ring in the Control Space, he couldn’t sense other people’s summoning, usually, it was Blackbeard passing the message to him.
Upon entering the Iron Throne Hall, the Navigator and Fallen Blood were already seated, along with Blackbeard and several other shadows, this time the summoned people weren’t many, it was just a small-scale discussion meeting.
"Considering investigations from various sources, it can be basically confirmed, Ryan did indeed have big actions in the Yitelan Civilization, and put considerable strength into it, unexpectedly, what Lord Azure Dragon said is probably true." The Navigator spoke, pondering, "Prince Ryan is really prepared to blood-sacrifice the entire Northern Crown Star Ring."
