"Understood, Father!" The eldest son's face turned crimson, and his pores were enlarged to twice their original size. He unsheathed his saber and held it upside down in his hand. Looking around at the warriors of sacrifice behind him, he bellowed, "Everyone, it's time to take a different path now that the situation has turned so bad. Let's do it!" "Wait"

A death warrior, who was lurking in the deepest part of the shadow and wearing a bright green combat suit with fish scales, whose skin was as smooth as jade and whose age could not be distinguished, but whose aura was extremely strong, pushed everyone away and walked out. Staring at Song Bugui, he asked impolitely, "Fellow Cultivator Song, let me ask you one last time on behalf of everyone—have you really won over Elder Song Chenglong and Elder Song Feibao?"

The mysterious and powerful Immortal Cultivator who looked like a green jade was named Yun Zhongyan. Strictly speaking, he was not a death warrior of Song Bugui's small group, but a visiting professor that he had recruited at a high price. The guy was a loser in the internal strife of the Yun family. It was said that he had been brutal enough to kill almost a hundred of the Yun family's own experts before his escape. He was a wanted criminal with a high bounty on his head. Having no other options, he fled to the Song family's territory and was discovered by Song Bugui by accident.

Song Bugui had seen through Li Yao's potential. With the thought that he was a rare commodity that could be sold at a high price, Song Bugui had surprisingly not handed Li Yao over to the Yun family or the Song family's upper echelons. Instead, he had secretly hidden Li Yao and helped Li Yao conceal his identity and disguise himself. Song Bugui had even spared no effort in providing Li Yao with large amounts of local resources to help him cultivate in order to make up for his small group's lack of high-end martial strength.

Yun Zhongyan had been working hard, too. She had reached the high level of the Nascent Soul Stage in only several decades and could be called a top expert in the entire universe.

Song Bugui and Yun Zhongyan were basically partners in crime. One of them was providing the money while the other was providing the manpower. They were not just masters and warriors of sacrifice.

Song Bugui had raised a lot of such distinguished and disobedient guests. He had always treated them with courtesy and attracted them with benefits. It was impossible for him to force them to mutiny.

Besides, Yun Zhongyan's concerns did make sense.

As the flagship of the fleet, it was impossible for the Song family to hand it over to Song Bugui without any concerns. Right now, two elders of the Song family, one in the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, and the other in the Divinity Transformation Stage, were stationed in the workshop that was right in front of them. More importantly, they both had Giant God Soldiers!

Naturally, they were loyal to the master of the Song family and Song Lixing, not Song Bugui.

However, the two elders were purely from the Combat Department and didn't know the first thing about military formations and large-scale battles. Therefore, they didn't come to cause trouble.

Song Bugui had gone through a lot of trouble to recruit a Cultivator in the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage as his guest. It was already the limit of his luck and capability. Naturally, he could not summon a giant soldier out of thin air.

The two Giant God Soldiers were the key to the failure of the battle.

If the two elders supported Song Lixing and the master of the Song family as before, even if Song Bugui was able to control the bridge and the supreme joint battle meeting, he would still be annihilated very quickly. On the other hand, because Song Bugui had told all the death warriors and the guest masters of the Song family, he had persuaded the two elders to join their cause on two Giant God Soldiers, which gave the death warriors and the guest masters the courage to rebel.

"Of course, Fellow Cultivator Yun. You don't believe me when the time comes, do you?"

Song Bugui raised his eyebrows high, as if he had just heard the most absurd joke in the world. "The lives of thousands of people in my family depend on this insurrection. Of course, I have already contacted Elder Song Chenglong and Elder Song Feibao. Otherwise, do you think I would be committing suicide?"

"Rest assured. Everything is going according to plan. Fellow Cultivator Yun, you will lead the warriors of the family and the guest masters to attack the joint meeting and try to take over the bridge. I will go to the two elders of the Song family and their Giant God Soldiers and try to occupy the warehouses of crystals, fuel, and ammunition as quickly as possible. In half an hour, we will be able to take over the flagship completely.

"After everything is done… Lei Chenghu is a man of his word. The giant soldier that he promised to give you will not go back on his word!" "That's good!" Upon hearing 'Giant God Soldier', Yun Zhongyan's eyes were glittering. He gritted his teeth and unsheathed his saber, too, before he waved his saber and activated the crystal suit inside his Cosmos Ring. "Brothers, great wealth is right in front of us. Let's go!"

In the meeting of the supreme coalition army, the ignorant nobles were still pushing and attacking each other or yelling at the silent communication magical equipment. They were too anxious to reach out to the collapsed fleet under their command to notice that a lot of invisible, high-intensity venomous gas was being released through the ventilation tubes in the four corners of the room.

It was not until several nobles felt that their head was dizzy and crimson spots were appearing in front of their eyes that they were greatly shocked. They rose up suddenly, only to stumble and fall to the ground.

"What's going on?"

"Not good. It's venomous gas!"

"Someone is releasing poison. Hurry—"

Before they put on their crystal suits, the door had been blown open by a weird force. The broken pieces of the door flew in together with almost a hundred powerful Thunder-Palms. After a series of earsplitting explosions, the entire meeting room was filled with electric arcs that looked like dragons.

Such electric arcs were not enough to tear apart the bodies of the Immortal Cultivators, but they were enough to electrocute them and seriously interfere with the operation of their Cosmos Rings, which would interrupt them from retrieving their crystal suits and other magical equipment.

Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua!

In the sound of rolling iron armor, Yun Zhongyan, the traitor of the Yun family, led a large batch of soldiers of sacrifice who were armed to the teeth and charged in like infuriated rhinos. "Da da da da da da!" A series of storm-like spiritual energy bullets blew the few guards to the wall, turning them into a bloody mess.

One of the unlucky nobles of the Yun family subconsciously jumped up and tried to run away, only to be cut in half by Yun Zhongyan after a shriek!

"By the command of Vice Marshal Song, those who leave their posts without permission will be executed in case they run away and corrupt the morale of the army!" Yun Zhongyan stomped on the internal organs of the unlucky guy, whose blood was flowing all over the floor, and stabbed his saber into the meeting table casually. Looking at the nobles who were all dumbfounded and scared, he tore open his breastplate and revealed the deadly crystals inside. "We are all tied up with the purest marrow crystal bombs. If you pigs dare to move again, we will all die together!"

On the narrow pathway leading to the workshop, Song Bugui and his son were in a hurry.

"The older, the wiser. Only now do I know that my father has been waiting for this day for so many years!"

Admiration was written all over the eldest son's face. "I didn't know that you were so resourceful, father. Not only did you reach an agreement with Lei Chenhu, the Marquis of Liaohai, a long time ago, you even recruited the two elders of the family who are the guardians of the flagship and have the Giant God Soldiers. Everything is under your control. You've fooled me!"

Song Bugui hastened his steps and replied without looking back, "You are my own son. Why would I hide anything from you? To be honest, I neither reached an agreement with Lei Chenghu nor did I win over the two elders—Song Chenglong and Song Feibao, the two strongest warriors on the flagship, are still in the dark!"

"What?"

His eldest son was so scared that he almost collapsed. "Dad, what do you mean, Dad?"

"Look at how useless you are."

Grabbing the collar of his eldest son, Song Bugui's speed remained unchanged as he continued walking towards the preparation workshop. "If even you are as timid as a mouse, how could those death warriors and guest masters follow us at the risk of their lives if we didn't come up with such a plan?"

"B-b-but-"

The eldest son was dumbfounded and almost choked. "The two elders did not know that we were going to mutiny at all. What—what should we do next?"

"Why are you panicking,"

Song Bugui sneered, "Aren't we just going to tell them?"

While they were talking, Song Bugui had already strode into the workshop with his eldest son.

Inside the workshop, two gargantuan Giant God Soldiers were ready to go. They looked like two mountains full of blades.

A large batch of crystal suits that had been working together with the Giant God Soldiers had completed the loading and final examination of the fuel and ammunition, too, like sabers that had been unsheathed.

Two elders of the Song family, who had profound Cultivation and unparalleled combat ability, were pacing back and forth anxiously with their hands behind their back, their faces gloomy. As top warriors, they had sensed that something was wrong even though they had not participated in the strategical decisions at the fleet level.

"Bu Gui, you came at the right time. Why has the starship slowed down all of a sudden? Also, the connection between us and the supreme coalition meeting has been cut off. What's going on? Did the suicide squad of the enemy sneak in?"

Seeing that there was no one else besides their shivering eldest son beside Song Bugui, the two elders were not bothered and asked casually.

"A mutiny." Song Bugui glanced at the two elders as well as the hundreds of vigorous disciples and grand-disciples around them, before he spoke in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "I have already taken control of the bridge and the engine compartment. I have sent electricity to Lei Chenghu. The battlefield has risen in revolt."

"What?"

The two elders of the Song family stared at Song Bugui in bewilderment.

They had seen a battlefield insurrection before, but a lone one like Song Bugui's was truly… hilarious!

Song Bugui kicked his eldest son to the ground and himself to the ground. He loudly said, "This is to let the two elders know that I just ordered someone to secretly destroy the engine compartment, causing the power of my starship to be damaged by at least 50%. It is absolutely impossible to repair it within 24 hours. The enemy will certainly catch up to us.

"In addition, I have also dispatched a large number of death warriors to occupy the supreme joint war meeting. If there is the slightest disturbance, my death warriors will perish together with all the high officials and the marquis. "Also, I've sent the communication password of the entire army, the vibration frequency of the spiritual shield, and other critical data to Lei Chenghu. That's why we lost so easily!

"Elders, there are only three paths in front of you.

"Or, you can behead me and my son right now and clean up the defeated soldiers in person before we fight again. I only hope that your ability to command a fleet is as good as your invincible strength!

"Or, you can kill me to vent your anger and run away. I hope you can find a faster starship so that you won't be caught by the enemy's hundreds of Giant God Soldiers and run back to the Yellow Dragon World.

"You can either join me in the insurrection on the battlefield… In the secret letter that I sent to Lei Chenghu a few days ago, I emphasized that the two of you stand firmly on my side and are the greatest contributors to the insurrection on the battlefield. Lei Chenghu, the Marquis of Liaohai, is a man who loves the imperium and values the big picture. Even if it is to stabilize the morale of the people, he will not treat you unfairly.

"Come on. Your heads are here. Decapitation or not, please make up your mind quickly!" Song Bugui ripped open the collar of his marshal uniform. His strength was so great that he tore a few buttons engraved with the three-star battle emblem of lightning. Ding Lingdang was rolling on the ground.

Stretching his neck that was bulging with veins, he slapped his neck until it was red and shouted at the two invincible experts..
