Chapter 669: Chapter 34: Timid and Risk-Averse, Yet Always Stirring Trouble

"Is there someone fighting over there?"

Hovering above the iron aircraft carrier high in the sky, Xiluo gazes down at the firelight below.

Standing at this height, the "Hundred Lands Mountain Range transformation" of Changyang Mountain is distinctly visible.

Roads stretch in every direction, irrigation channels water the fields...

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

In sight, this Changyang Mountain seems even more collectivized and industrialized than the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

After all, in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, one has to consider the presence of the Gods, often needing their consent for building various structures.

Whereas here in Changyang Mountain, the Xingtian Clan is the sole God.

Coupled with the fact that Xingtian City specializes in mechanical manufacturing, such a level of industrialization isn’t surprising.

Furthermore, the influx of a large external population and the commercialization of the entire city have significantly boosted Changyang Mountain’s industrial development.

Not only is there industrialization of various mechanical products, but even in agriculture, automation has long been achieved.

Nowadays in Changyang Mountain, a member of the Xingtian Clan can manage over a hundred acres of land, with yields far exceeding those of fertile lands elsewhere.

This yield, far beyond its era, results from the combined advantages of superior seed varieties, fertilizers, and meticulous cultivation.

Moreover, it stems from the great psychological shadow left on Xingtian City by the "Kunlun Scramble" battle five years ago.

Fearing another food crisis, they even actively reduced the number of factories, marking an untouchable red line around farmland.

According to the contemporary Xingtian Clan, money can be endlessly earned, but food is the fundamental basis for a race’s development.

If there’s a problem with food, what’s the use even if you’ve earned a lot or are skilled in battle?

— Food means population, and population means power.

This is an unchanging truth in the world, even in this Mythical Era.

Of course, the Xingtian Clan isn’t a stubborn group.

Being limited by their race and territory, unable to choose a perfect option.

Thus, they settle for second best, treating Changyang Mountain merely as a transit and processing station, with raw materials entirely procured from Kunlun Mountain and the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, naturally becoming the optimal choice.

It must be admitted, this choice by the Xingtian Clan indeed maximizes their own interests.

As for Kunlun Mountain, that’s not even worth mentioning.

Xiluo, now gazing into the distance, sees clearly the roads and waterways being constructed extending inward.

Not to mention, various aircraft, including iron aircraft carriers, can be seen freely traveling between Kunlun Mountain and Changyang Mountain in the sky.

As for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?

Though it doesn’t export raw materials, it directly exports industrial products.

Nevertheless, Xingtian City is the only channel for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range’s external trade.

Additionally, the Mountain People are entirely self-sufficient internally, never focusing much on economic maximization.

Thus, selling those industrial products at extremely low prices to the Xingtian Clan, allowing them to resell to the intelligent beings outside, became a standard operation for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

"Someone is fighting?"

Slowly retracting her gaze from the distant Kunlun Mountain.

Li Boyang follows Xiluo’s finger direction, soon noticing the unusually dazzling firelight.

That is a main road connecting Ganqi City to the outside world, the broad path accommodating five vehicles and the smooth stone slabs making any firelight visible.

"It seems to be people from Yanshi Kingdom?"

Pupils slightly dilating, Li Boyang observes the battle below with clarity.

Not just the physical layer of fighting and destruction, but even the changes in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi clearly present themselves in his view.

So in Li Boyang’s current perspective, a huge near-funnel-shaped Primordial Qi vortex is silently forming, gradually approaching the battlefield.

"Indeed, they’re Yanshi Kingdom performers."

Nodding in affirmation of Li Boyang’s words, Xiluo seems to be more knowledgeable about this than he is.

Yanshi Kingdom’s performers settled in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range long ago.

Although their numbers aren’t large, they stand out in terms of intelligence.

Even many Mountain People who received formal mandatory education aren’t as quick-witted as these fellows.

While performers might not be the most learned, when limited to mechanics and physics, they are unquestionably masters.

This characteristic led them to become followers and believers of the Red Fish, upon learning the Luo Book’s origin through Human-faced Fish transmission.

"Then who might their enemies be?"

Without focusing on those beasts and Feilian.

Li Boyang, following the path of the invisible Primordial Qi vortex, gazes toward the distant Kunlun Mountain.

Then, as if sensing Li Boyang’s scrutiny, the previously gathering Qi vortex suddenly halts.

The next second, the Qi, like startled birds, swiftly flows back towards Kunlun Mountain.

"Is it the one who took the Buddha’s head?"

Finally stepping out of the cabin at this moment, Xu Jia, somewhat surprised, observes the swirling Qi.

After sparring numerous times with the one who took the Buddha’s head.

Though Xu Jia hasn’t deduced that person’s identity, he is quite familiar with his methods.

Both beasts and Feilian, along with the shapeless Qi transformations, perfectly match that person’s usual tactics.

Xu Jia is almost certain the one behind Feilian and beasts is indeed the one who took the Buddha’s head.

"Isn’t caution a bit excessive here?"

Astonished, looking at the rapidly dissipating Qi, Xiluo opens her mouth in disbelief.

In Xu Jia’s description, the one who took the Buddha’s head has Thousand Transformations, intelligence overflowing, resembling the image of the Great Demon King.

Yet such a Great Demon King now retreats hastily due to a fleeting glance from Li Boyang.

Calling it caution is giving him credit, it’s simply scurrying away with fear.

Perfectly illustrating the phrase "timid yet likes to stir trouble."

"Might he have detected your identity?"

Slightly doubtful, Xiluo glances at Li Boyang, questioning uncertainly.

"No, he doesn’t have that capability yet."

With a simple calculation, Li Boyang confidently replies.

Not to mention the inherent ability of Profound Yellow Qi to conceal causation.

Li Boyang also specifically disguised himself for this outing.

Beyond changes in stature, appearance, and aura, he even hid the ever-present Protective Talisman.

A talisman obtained for him by Chen Yun, accompanying Li Boyang since childhood.

"How curious, is there truly such a cautious individual in the world?"

Some skepticism whether Xu Jia’s portrayal might be exaggerated, Xiluo promptly shifts her gaze back to him.

"Are you perhaps exaggerating that person’s abilities to cover your own incompetence?"
