I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything-Chapter 768 - 597: I no longer want to taste that bitter flavor_2

"Yes."

Xiaoyun responded.

Curiously asked, "Who... is that person?"

"Every planet has its unique civilization. On Blue Star, before humans arrived, Demon Beasts were the rulers of this world. The Demon Beast civilization is essentially one of power, with strong Demon Beasts having strength comparable to warships. However, when the crisis of Blue Star came, those powerful Demon Beasts, possessing the power to survive in the cosmos, abandoned us, their weaker kin, and fled to the cosmos to seek survival."

Lu Ye said solemnly, "Xiong Zhen was one of them back then."

"What?"

Hearing this, Xiaoyun was astonished and exclaimed, "You... big sister, are you saying that person is actually..."

Lu Ye nodded and said, "That's right, they are the very Level 12 Demon Beasts that abandoned us all!"

"12... Level 12?"

Xiaoyun fell silent, knowing that before Xu Lingjun entered the Secret Realm, the strongest remaining Demon Beasts, apart from big sister, were just Level 9.

And Level 9 Demon Beasts could already rival the strongest humans.

But now it seems...

The higher the level, the greater the disparity in strength.

The gap between Level 9 and Level 12, without Lu Ye's detailed explanation, she could already guess how vastly different they were!

She asked, "So, big sister, what do you plan to do?"

"Meow, meow, meow, meow..."

Pang Hu was gesticulating wildly but couldn't escape Xiaoyun's restraint, looking like an insane little motor shaking frantically.

"Meow... Pang Hu means to quickly go and report to the master; Level 12 Demon Beasts must be really powerful. I'm only Level 9 now."

Daxiong was getting anxious too.

"Big sister..."

What Xiaoyun focused on, however, was a different question.

Undoubtedly, this Xiong Zhen was indeed once the strongest among Demon Beasts, strong enough to travel through the cosmos with their physical body... And not many on Blue Star today can do that.

Now they have returned.

Perhaps stronger than before.

But one thing is for sure, they and she are actually the same race.

And this time, their return clearly states their intention to regain Blue Star that once belonged to them.

So, what about them... which side should they stand on?

Lu Ye asked in return, "What do you think?"

Xiaoyun said without hesitation, "All of us, including Hei Feng, follow your orders, big sister. We've grown safely to this point thanks to your careful care and protection. We don't know any Level 12 Demon Beasts..."

"Even if they might possess Techniques that can make us stronger?"

Xiaoyun dismissed, "Stronger Techniques than Xu Lingjun?"

Lu Ye's voice carried a hint of amusement, "You say you follow my orders, yet you've quietly made up your mind..."

"Big sister..."

Xiaoyun couldn't help but blush slightly and then indignantly said, "You have the advantage of proximity, big sister!"

"Alright, don't worry, I'll inform Xu Lingjun, he'll decide what to do."

Lu Ye said, "Now, quickly handle the task I assigned you. Remember, this is very important... I'll handle the matter with Xiong Zhen..."

"Yes!"

Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You two, don't mess around, follow me, there's serious business to do."

"Meow, meow, meow..."

Pang Hu obediently clinged to Xiaoyun's arm, a sweet smile on its round cat face.

"Too chubby, doesn't look nice when smiling."

Xiaoyun, however, bluntly criticized.

Pang Hu immediately lowered its limbs, looking deeply hurt.

At this moment.

Great Xia Imperial Capital!

Now formally renamed Lan City.

Blue Star Capital.

Xu Lingjun was in a long discussion on serious matters with others, sitting beside him were prominent figures of Han Yun City, Yun Yi, and others.

Opposite Xu Lingjun, in a projected image... Yuan Tianqing was seriously reporting something to Xu Lingjun.

"In conclusion, I believe this enemy may be even more fearsome and harder to deal with than we imagined!"

After detailing the clues he'd investigated previously.

Yuan Tianqing said seriously, "The opponent not only possesses extremely strong power but also remarkable intelligence, knowing how to blend in with the people. This kind of enemy is the hardest to deal with... What's scarier, if the opponent were just a single person it would be fine, but if it's a group invasion of Blue Star, it would mean catastrophe for Blue Star!"

"Hmm, I understand this point. The immediate priority is to find their whereabouts; this is the top priority."

Xu Lingjun naturally understood, imagining himself, if allowed to freely wreak havoc in an unfamiliar civilization, how much damage he could cause... Just thinking about it, even he got scared.

"Isn't their likeness already drawn?"

Xu Lingjun said seriously, "Issue orders for a global manhunt... Anyone who can tangibly find this person can be rewarded with ten Peiyuan Pills, just newly developed, extremely beneficial for cultivation..."

Yuan Tianqing was about to nod.

On Xu Lingjun's table.

A tender green willow wrapped its branches gently around Xu Lingjun's wrist.

Xu Lingjun was momentarily astonished, then, a soft voice reached his ears, imperceptible to anyone else.

Xu Lingjun paused...

Shaking his head, he said, "Seems the Peiyuan Pills won't be given out."

"Your Majesty, finding that group of villains is the most urgent matter right now."

Yuan Tianqing got anxious.

Even Han Yun City and others showed faces of surprise,

Clearly not expecting Xu Lingjun to go back on his word, Han Yun City frowned, thinking Xu Lingjun was reluctant, about to persuade him...

Xu Lingjun said, "No need to search, I already know where that person is now."

"Wha... What?!"

Everyone was instantly shocked.

"Hmm, even I didn't expect, after being so careful in hiding its traces, that the opponent would approach on their own."

Xu Lingjun's eyes showed a hint of peculiar expression.

Han Yun City asked, "Where is that person now?"

"In the Secret Realm!"

"This is really..."

Han Yun City immediately recalled the lies Xu Lingjun had previously told many civilizations, like Blue Star and the Secret Realm being at odds.

He murmured, "Just casual words, yet you might have really fooled them?"

"In any case, as the enemy has walked into the trap themselves, what we need to do is tighten the net, and before tightening, make sure not to let them escape."

"Hmm, this enemy is really tricky; if they escape, the consequences are serious, need a careful approach."

Han Yun City said seriously, "It's necessary to thoroughly plan and respond."

Moments later.

Secret Realm.

"Actually, I support your desire to reclaim Blue Star. After all, as Demon Beasts, we are of the same race. I don't want to be constantly bullied by that Master of the Blue Star, forced to endure humiliation... It really leaves a bitter taste."

Lu Ye said calmly, "But with your strength and Blue Star's technology, if a full-fledged civil war breaks out, the whole Blue Star might be destroyed. Even if you win in the end, what's the use of a desolated ruined planet?"

Xiong Zhen nodded, "That's indeed a consideration. Blue Star is my home too, and I don't want to destroy it. Do you have any good suggestions?"

"I do have a good idea. The Secret Realm can pretend to fully surrender to humanity. We can lure that Master of the Blue Star to enter the Secret Realm. At that point, you can directly capture the leader, and once you have the Master of the Blue Star, the rest will be much easier."

"Luring the snake out of its hole?"

Xiong Zhen laughed, "Back when I wasn't so strong, I often set traps to lure prey. Didn't expect you, a plant like Lu Ye, to be familiar with this tactic too."

"But for this to work, the act has to be convincing. Otherwise, the enemy won't take the bait."

Lu Ye said seriously to Xiong Zhen.
