Chapter 349: A Joint Effort
The Military Headquarters was extremely busy.
Large fleets from various military districts urgently mobilized and rushed to the exile planet.
All the Space Fortresses hidden along the borders also headed towards the exile planet.
But this did not change the unease of the High-ranking Leaders of the Federal Parliament and the Military.
Because Yi Chen could not escape the search by the Soul Emperor and the multitude of Soul Kings.
No matter how many fleets they sent, they could not stop the Soul Emperor from reaching the exile planet.
Yi Chen’s life and death were almost in the hands of the Soul Emperor.
They could only pray to the heavens, hoping that the Soul Emperor only wanted to capture Yi Chen as a hostage, not to kill him.
If it were only to capture Yi Chen, once the third Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy arrived, there would still be hope for rescue.
However, if they killed Yi Chen directly, no matter the cost to obliterate the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan, it would be of no use.
The human federation would completely lose its hope for rapid growth.
No matter how skilled the Parliament was at deceiving the federation citizens, they could not justify such a significant, unacceptable loss.
Whether it was the Parliament or the Military leaders, they all had to stand and take responsibility, with no one able to escape blame.
In their eyes, the Soul Emperor was harming both others and himself, sacrificing himself to help the various tribes resolve their future troubles.
There was no unexpected outcome.
Since the Space Fortresses and Large Battleships could not use the Space Jump System to directly enter the cosmic storm zone and its interior.
By the time the Federation Military realized the Soul Emperor’s intent and prepared to strengthen the Defense Line around the cosmic storm zone, the Soul Emperor had already entered the cosmic storm zone, successfully breaking through the original Defense Line.
Although the Space Fortresses and the fleet could rapidly reach the exile planet and set up defenses after passing through the cosmic storm zone using the Space Jump System, the Soul Emperor could also tear through space to arrive at the exile planet first.
In this short-distance space transfer, the Soul Emperor was even faster.
Without any doubt, the Soul Emperor successfully entered the large Defense Systems ahead of them.
"I have arrived, where are you?"
The Soul Emperor immediately contacted the Leader of the Three-Eyed Tribe using the communication stone.
"We are searching around the energy shield’s perimeter. The Soul Emperor can assist in the search based on our findings to locate Yi Chen."
The Leader of the Three-Eyed Tribe replied.
"Come to me, and sign a collaboration contract I have prepared!"
The Soul Emperor then used his Perception Ability to send the contents of the already drafted collaboration contract to the Leader of the Three-Eyed Tribe.
Whether it was the high-ranking leaders of the federation, the strongest members of various tribes, or Yi Chen, everyone had their own thoughts and schemes.
The Soul Emperor naturally had his own plans.
His unexpected arrival at the exile planet was not to kill Yi Chen nor to take him as a hostage.
Instead, he wanted to control Yi Chen and have Yi Chen create various skills that would significantly enhance the training speed and power of humanity.
The Federal Parliament and the Military could never have imagined that the Soul Emperor’s strategic direction was actually aligned with theirs.
The Soul Emperor also saw Yi Chen as the greatest support for the rapid growth of the Soul Clan.
However, the Soul Clan saw things differently.
They needed to first use the various new skills created by Yi Chen to quickly enhance the strength and realm of human hosts, thus allowing the entire Soul Clan to rapidly improve.
Because of this layer in between, the Soul Clan did not hesitate like the Federal Parliament and the Military.
They were not worried that Yi Chen would tamper with the skills and felt free to pressure him to create various techniques.
After all, if there was a problem with the skills, it would only affect the human genius and have little impact on the Soul Clan.
Even if the five strongest members of the Angel Alliance did not come, the Soul Emperor planned to take the risk to capture Yi Chen on the exile planet.
He intended to bring the Soul Clan along with a group of human puppets and find a way to escape to other star systems to hide, thus temporarily easing the pressure from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.
This line of thought was very similar to Yi Chen’s ideas.
When he discovered that the five strongest members of the Angel Alliance possessed flying treasures or methods that could block Large Battleship scanners, the Soul Emperor did not hesitate to implement this plan.
He knew very well that the five strongest members of the Angel Alliance would definitely guard against his sudden attack and would not dare to approach him.
On his way, he had drafted the relevant contract.
The content of the contract was for the five strongest members to take him and the Soul Clan out of the galaxy, and in return, he guaranteed that he would not attack the five strong members.
At the same time, he promised that the Soul Clan would not use the five major races of the Angel Alliance as hosts for a thousand years, and if the five races needed assistance, the Soul Clan could even send troops as needed.
To successfully escape the galaxy, the terms of the contract created by the Soul Emperor were exceptionally generous.
Once the Three-Eyed Tribe conveyed the Soul Emperor’s intentions to the other four powerful beings, they quickly changed their previous decision.
They formally joined forces with the Soul Emperor.
After both parties signed the contract, the five strong members of the Angel Alliance flew out of the Starry Gourd.
The Soul Kings, who controlled the strong members of various tribes and were held within the black gem possessed by the Soul Emperor, also flew out one by one.
They immediately split into two groups, one group responsible for patrolling the inner edge of the energy shield to ensure that Yi Chen could not escape through any gaps.
The other group continued to tighten the encirclement based on the five strong members of the Angel Alliance.
With the Soul Emperor’s involvement, the speed of the search greatly increased.
…
"They are coming, the powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe are coming!"
As the Soul Emperor entered the scanning range of the Large Battleship, the entire human federation erupted in cheers.
They believed that the Soul Emperor had come to seek out and kill the five strong members of the Angel Alliance.
But soon, everyone was left dumbfounded.
Because immediately after the Soul Emperor, the five strongest members of the Angel Alliance followed closely, also entering the scanning range.
Within a few more seconds, many strong members from various tribes entered the scanning range as well.
However, the attitude of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong members clearly showed that they ignored the five strong members of the Angel Alliance and those strong members from various tribes.
What was going on?
"This doesn’t seem right! The Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong members are supposed to be on our side, why are they ignoring the strongest beings from the various tribes?"
"It looks like they are searching for Yi Chen together with the strong members from various tribes?"
Everyone suddenly panicked.
Could it be that the Tree-Dwelling Tribe abandoned the human federation in favor of becoming vassal races to the various races of the Angel Alliance?
If that were the case, wouldn’t Yi Chen be doomed?
The heads of the Parliament and the Military were in a state of utter despair.
Undoubtedly, the current situation clearly showed that the five strongest members of the Angel Alliance had reached some agreement with the Soul Emperor.
They had not escaped the cosmic storm zone but were waiting at the original spot for the Soul Emperor to arrive.
They were also uneasy, worrying that once the Soul Emperor found Yi Chen, he would kill him.
But at this moment, they had to divert their energy to explain the situation about the Soul Emperor occupying the body of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy.
No one knew that while Yi Chen was not on the exile planet, he was actually on his way to the exile planet.
