Chapter 354: No Regrets
"Seems like your strongest member of humanity guessed that I might help you. I will go take a look at the situation; you all should stay behind to avoid raising his suspicions."
After hearing Lu Qingxian’s introduction, Morris felt a bit displeased but still maintained his politeness.
"Okay!"
Lu Qingxian and the others quickly nodded, their hearts igniting with a hint of hope.
Perhaps Yi Chen’s flying treasure could even block the Soul Emperor’s Perception Ability, and he was still on the exile planet!
Morris, knowing the coordinates of the exile planet, transformed into a swift shadow and flew towards it.
The Shadow King followed closely behind Yi Chen.
His strength realm was far beneath Morris’s, and in terms of speed, he really couldn’t keep up with Morris.
But Morris didn’t travel at full speed toward the exile planet, allowing the Shadow King to stay right behind.
Yi Chen continued to extract Luck from Morris.
Although the Luck Technique had been enhanced and the speed of extraction greatly increased, it still couldn’t almost keep up with the total amount of Morris’s Luck in such a short time.
In just over ten minutes, Morris passed through the cosmic storm zone and arrived in outer space near the exile planet.
Holding onto a glimmer of hope, he saw that the large Defense Systems surrounding the exile planet were still activated.
Morris paid no attention to this and smashed through the energy shield with his powerful body.
His Perception Ability rapidly spread out, instantly covering the entire exile planet and a radius of several million kilometers.
After a thorough search, he frowned slightly.
"It seems he really has left this place."
Morris didn’t know that Yi Chen was nearby, continuously extracting his Luck.
Yi Chen was only a little over a thousand meters away, which could be considered incredibly close.
After some thought, Morris decided to head back the way he came.
The Shadow King unwaveringly continued to follow.
Soon, Morris returned to the center of the fleet, appearing before Lu Qingxian and the other Giants.
"I can confirm, he is not here!"
His words dripped with extreme confidence.
Little did he know that throughout the entire ordeal, Yi Chen had been within about a thousand meters of him.
Lu Qingxian and the other Giants displayed expressions of disappointment.
It seems that Yi Chen has really left the exile planet.
As for whether he has left the cosmic storm zone, that remains unknown.
Counting the time, it has been nearly two months since Yi Chen left.
In two months, considering his flying treasure’s speed, it is impossible for him to have flown away from the cosmic storm zone.
At this stage, he is very likely still on his way to the cosmic storm zone.
However, even knowing this is meaningless.
Because even Morris, the powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, cannot completely search the space inside the cosmic storm zone in a short time.
And the Large Battleship of the human federation is almost useless when the scanner’s scanning function cannot work.
"Do you have any plans?"
Morris asked, feeling a bit down.
He thought it would be easy to gain the benefits he wanted.
He did not expect such a turn of events.
Lu Qingxian quickly said, "Based on our analysis, there are probably two possibilities for Yi Chen after leaving the cosmic storm zone."
"One is that he is hiding in the galaxy, trying to gather information about the Envoy."
"When the Envoy arrives in the galaxy, he will find a way to connect with the Envoy, avoiding us in the Federal Parliament and the Military, and use his own talents and the resources and treasures obtained from Ketes to convince the Envoy to stand by his side and help suppress the Federal Parliament."
"Resources and treasures obtained from Ketes?"
Morris frowned slightly. Did Ketes actually give resources and treasures to that human strongest member?
This clearly shows that Ketes recognizes the incredible talent of that human strongest member, planning to befriend him and develop a good relationship.
It seems he underestimated the talent of that human strongest member.
After all, Ketes has barely entered the ranks of the strong and is only one major realm below him.
Since Ketes favors that human strongest member and even offers resources and treasures, it must mean that the potential of that human strongest member is at least not much lower than Ketes.
In this star cluster outside our main region, to have such a terrifying potential means a bright future ahead.
If he had known this earlier, he should have assessed the talent of that human strongest member first before making plans.
Morris felt a bit regretful.
Resources and treasures are indeed tempting.
But the Tree-Dwelling Tribe follows the causal path, valuing not only immediate benefits but also long-term interests.
If that human strongest member truly has an extraordinarily terrifying talent, he cannot offend him easily to avoid causing future troubles.
After all, no matter how much pressure he applies, the other side will still be the strongest member of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s vassal races.
He cannot kill him, and can only let him continue to grow.
"Yes! Lord Ketes must have seen that Yi Chen has good talent, so he gave the Space Stone to Yi Chen to see if there are suitable resources and treasures inside."
Since the contract has already been signed, Lu Qingxian is naturally not afraid of Morris changing his mind.
He believed that Morris felt some regret at the moment, but soon, he would likely not feel that way anymore.
He continued explaining, "Maybe something happened, and Lord Ketes needed to handle it urgently, so he temporarily left the exile planet. He planned to deal with the Soul Emperor first, and then return to retrieve the Space Stone and the signed contract."
"As a result, Lord Ketes was already injured and was attacked by the combined forces of the Soul Emperor and the Shadow King, leading to his downfall. Therefore, the Space Stone and the signed contract have not been recovered yet."
"Are you saying that Ketes’s Space Stone is with Yi Chen?"
Morris’s eyes widened a bit.
Could there really be such good fortune?
"Yes!"
Lu Qingxian nodded.
Morris instantly felt delighted.
As Lu Qingxian had expected, the regret he felt a moment ago vanished immediately.
Inside that Space Stone, even if it didn’t contain all of Ketes’s resources and treasures, it would surely hold most of his important resources and treasures.
And Ketes was someone who had reached the level of the strong.
His significant resources and treasures were undoubtedly an incredible fortune.
Most importantly, there would certainly be quite a few top treasures inside that could greatly enhance his own strength.
Getting these would yield benefits that were no less substantial than those from the human federation.
Although the total value of the resources and treasures might not surpass what the human federation offered, the quality would far exceed the benefits provided by the human federation.
This was definitely a huge and unexpected surprise.
And to obtain these resources and treasures, there was no doubt he would have to pressure and tempt Yi Chen to hand over the Space Stone.
In that case, it would inevitably offend Yi Chen.
Since he was going to offend Yi Chen anyway, it didn’t matter if he did it again.
Compared to long-term considerations, Morris cared more about the immediate and enormous benefits, especially the double benefits.
There was naturally no need to regret anything.
"Continue!"
Morris gestured for Lu Qingxian to go on.
The top priority was to find Yi Chen.
Only by finding Yi Chen could they obtain the Space Stone, retrieve the signed contract, and complete the transaction with the Federal Parliament.
