In an instant, a cold chill spread from Rabinsky Cliff’s body and swiftly spread to his limbs, nearly causing the elderly man, who always paid great attention to health but had recently experienced shock, to die on the spot.
After a long while, he finally looked up, trembling as he gazed at Biao: "You mean, Sky Pillar Mountain never really..."
He swallowed hard, seeming to wait for Biao to continue the sentence.
The latter merely looked at him calmly and said softly, "I’ve given enough hints, so please continue yourself, Professor, express your speculation fully."
"They are not unaware of our existence."
Cliff clenched his fists, speaking with difficulty: "They merely regard us with indifference, or rather, they might not even bother to watch us, treating the efforts of countless generations of ours as a mere joke, like a dragon overlooking ants building their nest, arrogant and contemptuous."
Biao smiled lightly, looking at Cliff approvingly: "A very apt metaphor, the dragon and the ants, this example vividly illustrates the status between you two."
"So, all we have done over the years is futile?"
Perhaps due to Cliff’s not entirely pure loyalty to the dynasty, he did not lose control or go mad, nor did he show signs of despair, instead he asked with a somewhat trembling yet still calm voice: "Is it so?"
Biao rubbed the tip of his nose, nodding: "Objectively speaking, yes, although I do not know what the first generation of hibernators wanted to do, but as time has moved on, your awe for that mountain is gradually diminishing, in other words, you are repeating the mistakes of the past, attempting to challenge the peak named ’Sky’."
"..."
As a senior professor specialized in history, Cliff almost immediately heard the underlying meaning in Biao’s words, and his increasingly pale face could only tighten his grip ever more forcefully, unable to speak a single word.
"See, this is not a complicated matter, but the ridiculous thing is, you remnants of the dynasty who are becoming more active are still blissfully unaware, still dream day after day of the so-called ’restoration’."
Biao shook his head, speaking softly: "Of course, this is not surprising, because time always fades many things, and that consistently low-key Sky Pillar Mountain is more easily forgotten and ignored by people, in fact, it seems that in recent generations among you, hardly anyone knows how the Sun Dynasty was destroyed at that time."
"I have reminded them..."
Cliff took a difficult breath, murmuring as if trying to defend himself: "I have reminded them."
"Indeed, but you merely reminded them, warned them not to underestimate Sky Pillar Mountain."
The corners of Biao’s mouth curled up into a mocking arc, speaking leisurely: "If I’m not mistaken, long ago, your group had split into two factions, your Conservative faction advocates restoring the nation, while another faction mainly composed of young people, well, let’s call them the Radical faction, advocates—revenge."
Cliff nodded, acknowledging Biao’s words, realizing that the young man in front of him was not bluffing but indeed possessed a lot of confidential information, he no longer intended to conceal anything, in other words, it meant his mentality had shifted to one of reckless abandon.
Though he was indeed one of the Sun Dynasty remnants and indeed a member of the Conservative faction, his position was relatively marginal, therefore, his understanding of some details seemed even less than Biao’s.
The latter clearly understood this as well, thus straightforwardly said: "Draw a clear boundary."
"What?"
Cliff was slightly taken aback, obviously not processing it immediately.
"You can advise those core figures to try to win over those who sway in the middle and then quickly draw clear boundaries with the Revenge faction. If possible, it’s best to sever most of the connections with them, leaving only the most basic intelligence exchanges."
Biao gently patted Cliff’s shoulder, whispering: "Although it hasn’t begun yet, unless unexpectedly, Sky Pillar Mountain, which has never regarded you remnants of the Sun Dynasty as a threat, will soon take action."
Cliff’s slightly corpulent body shivered suddenly, repeating in surprise: "Take action?!"
"Yes, because the mountain has rarely felt threatened, and although this threat has nothing to do with the remnants of the Sun Dynasty, several meticulous High-level Observers nonetheless believe there is a need to ’purge’ you ’ants’ in a sweep. I must say, even though it’s still a half-step late, their reasoning is quite correct."
Biao laughed softly, speaking quickly: "So soon, those allies of yours who had been noticed due to excessive carelessness will be purged, although because Sky Pillar Mountain has never really acknowledged you, the number shouldn’t be too many, but I still hope you can prepare more, try to keep more people alive, preserve some strength."
"You... what is your purpose after all?"
Cliff’s voice trembled somewhat.
