Timid and Afraid of Trouble, Yet Always Stirring It Up

"It looks like there's a fight going on there?"

Suspended high in the sky atop the steel aircraft carrier, Xiluo looked down at the flames below.

From this vantage point, one can clearly see the "Hundred Lands Mountain Range range" of Mount Changyang.

Roads extend in all directions, and irrigation canals irrigate the fields...

Bridges connect villages, and factories rise from the ground...

As far as the eye can see, Mount Changyang is even more collectivized and industrialized than the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

After the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the existence of the gods must be taken into account when building various facilities and structures, and their consent must often be obtained.

In Mount Changyang, Xingtian Shi was the only god.

Furthermore, given Xingtian City's expertise in mechanical manufacturing, it's not surprising that it possesses such a large-scale level of industrialization.

Moreover, the influx of a large number of migrants and the commercialization of the entire city have greatly boosted the level of industrialization in Mount Changyang itself. Not only are various mechanical products industrialized, but agriculture has also long been automated.

In Mount Changyang today, a member of the Xingtian Shi Clan can manage more than 100 acres of land, and the yield is far higher than that of fertile land outside. This yield, which far exceeds that of this era, is the result of the combined effects of improved seeds, fertilizers, and intensive farming.

On the other hand, it is also the huge psychological shadow left on Xingtian City by the "Battle for Kunlun" five years ago.

Fearing another food crisis, they even proactively reduced the number of factories and drew a clear line for arable land that could not be crossed. In the words of a modern-day Xingtian Shi, money can never be fully earned; only food is the foundation of a race's development. What use is all the money you earn, all the fighting prowess you possess, if food becomes a problem?

Food equals population, and population equals power.

This is an unchanging truth, and it is no exception even in this mythical age.

Of course, the Xingtian Shi Clan was not the kind of conservative group.

Since they are limited by the size of their race and territory, they cannot make a choice that satisfies both.

Therefore, as a second-best option, using Mount Changyang merely as a transit and processing station, and sourcing all raw materials from Mount Kunlun and Hundred Lands Mountain Range, naturally becomes the best choice.

It must be admitted that the Xingtian Shi Clan's choice did indeed maximize their own interests.

Let's not even talk about the Mount Kunlun.

Looking into the distance, Xiluo can clearly see highways and waterways under construction extending inwards.

Not to mention, various aircraft, including steel aircraft carriers, can be seen frequently flying freely between the Mount Kunlun and Mount Changyang. As for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range...?

Although it does not export raw materials, it directly exports finished industrial products.

However, Xingtian City is the only channel for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range to the outside world.

Furthermore, the Mountain Folk were fully self-sufficient and did not focus much on maximizing their economic potential.

Therefore, selling those industrial products to the Xingtian Shi Clan at very low prices, and then letting them resell them to intelligent life outside, became the routine operation of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

"Is there a fight going on?"

He slowly turned his gaze away from the distant Mount Kunlun.

Following the direction Xiluo was pointing, Li Boyang quickly noticed the unusually bright flames.

That was a main road connecting Ganqi City to the outside world. The wide road, wide enough for five carriages to travel side by side, and the smooth stone slabs made every glimmer of light clearly visible.

"They seem to be from the Puppeteer Kingdom?"

With his pupils slightly dilated, Li Boyang could see the battle below clearly.

It wasn't just the physical fighting and destruction; even the changes in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi were presented to him with exceptional clarity.

Therefore, from Li Boyang's perspective at this moment, a huge, almost funnel-shaped vortex of Yuan Qi is quietly taking shape and gradually approaching the battlefield.

"Indeed, they are entertainers from the Puppeteer Kingdom."

Nodding in affirmation of Li Boyang's statement, Xiluo seemed to know a little more about this matter than he did.

The entertainers of the Puppeteer Kingdom settled in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range long ago.

Although their numbers are not large, their intelligence is second to none.

Even many Mountain Folk who have received formal compulsory education are not as quick-witted as these guys.

The performers might not have been erudite, but if limited to mechanics and mechanical science, they were undoubtedly masters. It was precisely because of this characteristic that, upon learning that the * Luo River Book * was originally spread by Human-Faced Fish, the performers essentially became followers and believers of Chi Fou. "Then who would their enemy be?"

They did not focus their attention on the ferocious beasts and the Feilian.

Li Boyang followed the invisible vortex of Yuan Qi and looked towards the distant Mount Kunlun.

Then, as if sensing Li Boyang's prying eyes, the vortex of primordial Yuan Qi that was gathering suddenly stopped.

The next second, the Yuan Qi, like startled birds, quickly flowed back towards Mount Kunlun.

"Is it the one who stole the Buddha's head?"

Only then did Xu Jia step out of the cabin, looking at the surging Yuan Qi with slight astonishment.

After all, I've fought the person who stole the Buddha's head so many times.

Although Xu Jia hadn't been able to discover the other party's identity, he was quite familiar with his methods.

Whether it was a ferocious beast, Feilian, or those ever-changing and invisible Yuan Qi, they all perfectly matched that person's usual methods.

Xu Jia was almost certain that the person hiding behind Feilian and the evil beasts was the one who had stolen the Buddha's head.

"Isn't this overly cautious?"

Staring in astonishment at the rapidly dissipating Yuan Qi, Xiluo gaped in disbelief.

In Xu Jia's description, the person who stole the Buddha's head Myriad Transformations and full of tricks, resembling a Great Devil King.

However, this Great Devil King king has now hastily retreated because of Li Boyang's fleeting glance.

Calling him cautious is an understatement; he's clearly running away in panic.

This perfectly embodies the phrase "cowardly and afraid of trouble, yet fond of causing trouble."

"Could it be that he's figured out who you are?"

Xiluo glanced at Li Boyang with a hint of suspicion and asked somewhat uncertainly.

No, he doesn't have that ability yet.

After a quick calculation, Li Boyang gave a definite answer.

Let's set aside the fact that the [Black and Yellow Qi] inherently possesses the ability to obscure cause and effect.

Li Boyang had also made a special effort to disguise himself for this trip.

Besides the changes in his physique, appearance, and aura, he even hid the amulet he never took off his body.

That was a talisman that Chen Yun had obtained for him, a talisman that Li Boyang had raised since he was a child.

"That's really strange. Are there really such cautious people in this world?"

Somewhat doubtful that Xu Jia's description might be exaggerated, Xiluo immediately turned her gaze back to the other party.

"You wouldn't be exaggerating that person's abilities to cover up your own incompetence, would you?"
