Chapter 1173: Chapter 601: Li Ming Will Live and Die Alongside Everyone (Part 2)
Barbaro’s expression slightly changed, wanting to speak but holding back, while Sven and the other two exchanged glances, remaining silent.
Sheffield furrowed his brows, and Anduin fell into deep thought.
For a moment, no one responded to what he said.
Although Azure Dragon had previously promised to do his best to intervene, how much constraint a casual promise held was unknown.
More crucially, they couldn’t see a reason for Azure Dragon to intervene.
If Azure Dragon retreated, wouldn’t they become cannon fodder?
After all, they were risking their lives, and even Anduin couldn’t help but harbor such thoughts.
Li Ming glanced at the faces of the few, knowing exactly what this group was thinking without needing to guess.
Given the life risks involved, just saying a few words indeed couldn’t convince anyone.
Thus, he didn’t waste words and directly said, “Of course, I understand your concerns, so I will have my student Li Ming accompany you. You can meet outside the Chaos Core and then proceed together, to live and die with you all.”
Hmm?
Anduin looked surprised, Barbaro was astonished, and Sheffield was uncertain.
Li Ming’s life level wasn’t high, and his usual presence was low, but his development potential was evident, and he was bound to stand at the interstellar summit in the future.
With Azure Dragon letting Li Ming accompany them, it meant his promise to intervene wasn’t just empty talk.
Even Sven was quite surprised, not expecting Azure Dragon to be willing to send Li Ming just for their trust, which made him somewhat hesitant as he asked,
“Isn’t it too risky to let Li Ming go when faced with the armies of the Three Great Civilizations?”
“Otherwise, it would be hard for you all to feel at ease.” Li Ming replied calmly.
Sven smiled wryly; having Li Ming go didn’t make them feel much more at ease, but it at least confirmed Azure Dragon would intervene.
Whether they could defeat the united armies of the Three Great Civilizations was uncertain.
If they couldn’t win, their final outcome probably wouldn’t be any different.
“Since Lord Azure Dragon has said so, let’s make the trip.” Anduin pondered for a long time before voicing out.
He thought more deeply; the Three Great Civilizations actually had no reason to kill them,
The whole matter had started because of Azure Dragon. Since Azure Dragon was sending Li Ming, it was confirmed he would intervene.
At that time, the firepower of the Three Great Civilizations would undoubtedly be focused on Azure Dragon.
If Azure Dragon wins, they naturally wouldn’t face life-threatening dangers.
If Azure Dragon loses, due to the existence of the High-level Life Form Union, the Three Great Civilizations wouldn’t necessarily kill all six of them, it might even provoke some backlash either.
The situation actually wasn’t too bleak.
“Let’s make the trip,” Sheffield also considered this angle, “The Three Great Civilizations haven’t shown such an array in a long time, let’s go visit them.”
Barbaro didn’t think quite as thoroughly, but seeing the smart ones like Anduin and Sheffield willing to risk their lives, he hesitated slightly but gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go then!”
There was naturally no need for further words between Sven and the others, after a mutual glance, they all agreed.
“Thank you all for your trust. Once you’ve arranged the meeting location, just let me know.” Li Ming always maintained a calm demeanor.
He needed a “show” to make the Three Great Civilizations understand they could no longer do anything against him, to avoid facing endless tests and plans afterward.
And for maximum effect, Kashmir’s Spear must not appear on site.
Before this little trouble was solved, he couldn’t act, so he needed this guy to continue the play with the Three Great Civilizations.
As for how to resolve Kashmir’s Spear, he had a plan.
Even after agreeing, Sven remained a bit uneasy, cautiously asking, “Do you have…confidence in winning?”
“If I say I’ll surely win, would you believe me?” Li Ming countered.
Sven gave an apologetic smile without answering the question, and continued, “Then do we need to hold a High-level Life Form Union meeting?”
Li Ming raised an eyebrow, “How do you know I want to hold a meeting?”
Sven couldn’t help but respond, “Whenever there’s something big, don’t you always hold a meeting first? If you could persuade the Joint Organization to take action, it would certainly increase the chances.”
The others couldn’t help but nod in agreement, their eyes revealing a hint of expectation.
Although this was rather difficult, they had witnessed Azure Dragon’s methods, and there was a possibility.
Holding a meeting had almost become the standard procedure.
Li Ming had no words to say, just about to speak when Barbaro angrily shouted, “Shameless!”
He reached out to reveal a virtual screen, placing it in the center of the group.
It was the latest statement issued by the Three Great Civilizations, inviting them six to the Chaos Core, but the tone had softened immensely compared to an order.
Barbaro spat, “Damn, acting like they respect us so much, these double-faced bastards.”
Li Ming glanced casually, while Sheffield shook his head, “There’s nothing to be surprised about.”
“Huh?” Anduin appeared out of sorts, as if he was seeing some information that couldn’t be projected in the virtual display.
He only regained his senses after a moment, looking around at them before finally resting his gaze on Azure Dragon, hesitating to say, “Gusta has convened a joint meeting, in half a day’s time.”
They were surprised, and similarly shifted their gaze onto Azure Dragon.
The Three Great Civilizations’ announcement had just been issued, and Gusta immediately convened a meeting, saying it wasn’t related was impossible.
This chairman, who was usually noticeable but seldom expressed opinions, why did he suddenly want to intervene?
The first thought crossed their minds: could it be Azure Dragon had acted, and already persuaded this chairman?
“Is he going to help us?” Barbaro asked fancifully.
Sheffield immediately sneered, “Do you believe that?”
“Moreover, the Joint Organization isn’t just his own; what use is him wanting to help?”
Gusta… Li Ming’s gaze flickered, full of surprise.
But soon, he thought of another matter.
Hmm… if that’s really the case, then this chairman would have helped me tremendously.
“I feel it’s not that simple.” Anduin frowned, “Let’s see what he intends to do.”
They nodded in agreement, and then logged off one by one, Li Ming didn’t converse further either.
The virtual projection disappeared, and upon checking his intelligent terminal, sure enough, there was a meeting link from the Interstellar Alliance.
He stretched his body slightly, proceeding toward the dedicated conference center.
Li Ming now had a vague sense of time; half a day seemed to pass in a blink, with light gradually brightening his surroundings.
This meeting was quite rapid, leaving only half a day’s preparation, yet many people attended, with hardly any vacant seats, the atmosphere tense and noisy.
Countless eyes constantly focused on Azure Dragon and Gusta.
This statement from the Three Great Civilizations was almost like drawing swords; the time left for Azure Dragon’s operations was dwindling.
Once the three parts of the united army reached the target location, it would be too late to pull them into the fray.
Therefore, this meeting fell within the predictions of many.
However, the meeting’s initiator surprised them; they thought it would be Azure Dragon.
Could it be Gusta had been persuaded by Azure Dragon, intended to help him intervene in the Chaotic Star Gap matter?
Many harbored this thought, yet felt no waves in their hearts.
The crowd instinctively resisted confronting the Three Great Civilizations, let alone thirty X Level Life Forms, plus Kashmir’s Spear, it could truly result in deaths.
Many had secretly communicated, determined not to act as cannon fodder, resolving not to intervene in this incident.
Even if Azure Dragon could persuade Gusta, it wouldn’t help.
Li Ming surveyed the surroundings, remaining composed.
Gusta’s eyes were lightly shut, while Anatoli displayed his trademark smile, giving no hint of his thoughts.
Another ten minutes passed, and both the observers and representatives from the Three Great Civilizations had arrived.
Gusta finally broke his silence, slightly raising his head, and began, “Nearly everyone is here; those absent have various reasons.”
The surroundings quieted down, with all eyes on the ordinarily reticent chairman seated at the council.
