Chapter 593: Chapter 566: Declaration of War (Please Subscribe)
At dusk that day, Qi Tianquan was invited to visit the Purple Cloud Palace located on the northern side of Ninth Base City.
This was actually a private residence built on a gigantic artificial mountain within the urban nature reserve, covering an area of 120,000 square meters, 542 meters tall with ninety-nine floors, arguably the tallest building on the urban ground level and closest to the artificial sun.
The top floor of Purple Cloud Palace was designed to resemble the great hall of an ancient imperial palace.
As Qi Tianquan entered, he felt a sense of attending a royal court.
He internally despised the taste of the residence’s owner, yet his face remained calm.
“Linghu President!”
After entering, Qi Tianquan looked towards a slender figure seated at the highest place in the hall.
This person had an exceptionally distinguished appearance, with elegantly sculpted facial features that conveyed perfect symmetry, and a pair of obsidian-like eyes that were brilliantly piercing, sending out chilling sharp gazes that made others dare not look directly.
—That was the master of this mansion, Yang Lingxiao! He was also the chairman of Taiyi Biological Company, the President’s economic advisor, the serving chairman of the Federation Biochemical Pharmaceutical Industry Association, and an Honorary Member of Congress!
Taiyi Group, under which Taiyi Biological operated, was currently second only to the ‘Abyss’ Group and ‘Heavenly Sword’ Group in pharmaceuticals, with its various drugs holding up to 7% of the Federation drug market share, and its Taiyi series of Armament ranked just behind the Abyss and Heavenly Sword brands.

It must be mentioned that the Martial Arts Association rated his Armament at 9SSS, and his Martial Arts score at 9SS+, making him a quasi-Divine Envoy, a figure widely recognized as close to Divine Envoy level.
If one could say Qi Tianquan belonged to the third layer of the Earth Federation power pyramid, then this Mr. Yang was almost stepping into the second layer.
“Heavenly Authority is here? Find a seat yourself,” Yang Lingxiao waved his hand casually, and instructed a lifestyle assistant who was about to make tea for Qi Tianquan, “Remember to use my ‘Seven Rainbow Spring.'”
This was a top-tier famous tea from Sky Extreme Star, which Yang Lingxiao obtained through some personal connections.
Qi Tianquan had visited here many times before, and casually sat down on a chair positioned below the platform towards the left.
“I have received news that Linghu Mingde has suspended all his cargo trade businesses, and the ships of that forest trading company have not left port anymore. It seems he has no plans to set sail; currently, Linghu Mingde’s pier area and company headquarters are heavily guarded, with no less than five Heavy Equipment Divisions, along with 30,000 Alien Walkers!
Their Alien Company has at least 200 Dragon Transformation Martial Practitioners, and they have also hired several experts from the mercenary market. According to the intelligence I gathered, Linghu Mingde has hired at least six 7S battle groups, with both of Linghu Mingde’s companies valued at around two trillion each. However, from the current situation, it seems we have still underestimated the wealth he controls; even after a major battle with Jin Bohao, he still can mobilize such forces.”
Qi Tianquan said, picking up the tea cup beside him and blew on it slightly: “That Lin Rui is no less extraordinary, his Dragon Transformation Martial Practitioners might have already exceeded 60, and he has attracted many experts from the black market at high prices. The dock base originally had three enhanced groups, 4,000 Alien Walkers, and they have recently urgently formed two more enhanced groups.
Lin Rui must have deep connections with East Asia, having attracted many retired soldiers from there, all capable of direct defense combat readiness, as well as a large number of robots and war machines. I don’t know where he got so many combat robots, and they are even enhanced with Rune technology.
From the current situation, if we want to take over Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals, it seems trouble is indeed brewing. My military advisor told me, to win this war in the shortest time possible, we need at least 26 Heavy Equipment Divisions, 800 Dragon Transformations, and at least 60,000 Armored Warriors from the Third Realm!”
Qi Tianquan estimated that if the war exceeded 12 hours, the Federation Government would certainly intervene.
Fortunately, the strength of their Pharmaceutical Alliance this time was very formidable! With just a bit of effort, they could gather the strength of at least 30 Heavy Equipment Divisions.
“Do you really want to fight in Ninth Base City? Forget about it! Huo Bangguo would go crazy; just yesterday, he messaged me four times to tell me that if we dared to initiate a battle of squadron scale or above in the city area, he would side with Linghu Mingde and fight against me.”
Yang Lingxiao chuckled lightly, “Besides, our advantage lies in top-level combat forces; there’s no need to fight a pitched battle.”
Qi Tianquan slightly furrowed his brows upon hearing this.
He was actually quite uneasy about Lin Rui’s method of killing Alta Devonshill, although several Trace Grandmasters assertively claimed that it was a one-time ability from a certain Longevity Martial Practitioner, unable to be routinely used, Qi Tianquan was still very worried.
Qi Tianquan would rather use his formidable military strength along with Dragon Transformation Martial Practitioners to crush Linghu Mingde and Lin Rui.
However, he would not show his weakness in front of Yang Lingxiao, and he continued drinking tea: “If Linghu Mingde is unwilling to leave, then we can only make our move during the University Martial Arts League. We cannot act within the ‘Martial Arts Palace’; the power of the Martial Arts Association is unfathomable. The best time would be when Lin Rui is en route to the ‘Martial Arts Palace’, where there may be battles involving up to thousands of Dragon Transformation Martial Practitioners.”
This would deeply offend the Martial Arts Association, but it was better than taking direct action inside the Martial Arts Palace.
“That’s the only option left.”
Yang Lingxiao sighed, “I actually don’t want to fight with Linghu Mingde, especially at this time. A dying tiger, even more fearsome. But given the current situation, there’s no other choice.”
At that moment, Yang Lingxiao saw an incoming video call.
“Linghu Mingde?” Yang Lingxiao was slightly surprised upon seeing the caller ID, but he answered the call, his face brimming with a smile: “Old Linghu, what do you need me for?”
Linghu Mingde’s expression was stern: “The case involving my 19th cargo fleet, was it orchestrated by people from your Star Chain Pirate Group?”
Yang Lingxiao was even more surprised and puzzled.
He indeed masterminded this case; did this Sky Fox really just bluntly point this out? This isn’t good.
He did not deny it; the smile on his face turned chilly: “What are you implying, Brother Linghu?”
“You want Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals, you want the Bright Front, you want to start a war!”
Linghu Mingde stood with his hands behind his back, looking directly at Yang Lingxiao: “But I’m still willing to give you a chance; within 30 minutes, I want to see the head of the commander of the 3rd Division Fleet of the Star Chain Pirate Group, and all the pirates from the Star Chain’s 3rd Division Fleet. This shouldn’t be difficult for you. Then send me a video, and remember to attach the eunuch monitoring chart.
In addition, 18 Congressmen from the Pharmaceutical Alliance United Assistance Association must also announce their resignation and withdrawal from the election within half an hour. If you do these, I will consider the matter never happened.”
If the Pharmaceutical Alliance could do this, then this war would essentially be over.
Yang Lingxiao and Qi Tianquan were both briefly stunned; they looked at each other, both seeing surprise and confusion in each other’s eyes.
“Linghu Mingde, you must be out of your mind!”
Yang Lingxiao’s face was as grim as iron, coldly staring at Linghu Mingde: “I can answer you right now, this is absolutely impossible!”
“Then from this moment on, I consider the Pharmaceutical Alliance to have declared war on me!”
In the video, Linghu Mingde raised his head, looking towards a certain direction: “You want war; then I’ll give it to you. Let’s fight to the death, Director Yang!”
After finishing these words, he directly disconnected the video communication.
“This old immortal, has truly gone mad!”
Yang Lingxiao ended the communication still in disbelief.
He then felt something was off, recalling the surroundings of Linghu Mingde in the video, his expression turning grave.
Without hesitation, Yang Lingxiao began to access the video feeds of Taiyi Group’s headquarters and issued an all-out alert to the company’s security department.
The location where Linghu Mingde was during their call was clearly near the rooftop of a tall skyscraper adjacent to the headquarters of Taiyi Group.
What did Linghu Mingde intend to do from that position while on the call?
