Chapter 444: The Roadblock

Unable to understand, Duke Farah decided not to think about it any longer.

Whether the Black Tiger Tribe had produced a remarkably talented strong warrior or whether Yi Chen and the Great Flame Kingdom had arrived in the Tianling Star Cluster, he could simply send someone to investigate.

After pondering for a moment, he input a surge of energy into the communication stone.

"My lord, did you call for me?"

Soon, his subordinate Marquises Moses connected the communication.

"Moses, first go to the Intelligence Organization to retrieve some information, then personally visit the blood-colored planet controlled by the Black Tiger Tribe to investigate whether they have produced a remarkably talented strong warrior, and whether the unknown race is humanity."

Duke Farah instructed, "Once you find out, if the Black Tiger Tribe has produced a remarkably talented strong warrior and the unknown race is indeed humanity, do not alarm them. Contact me immediately."

"If the Black Tiger Tribe has a remarkably talented strong warrior, but that unknown race is not humanity, then eliminate the strong warrior of the Black Tiger Tribe."

"For any other situation, use your own judgment."

"Understood!"

Moses Marquises responded, somewhat reluctant but still accepted the order.

"That will be all!"

Duke Farah ended the call and continued to worry about the issue of choosing a side.

Next to the blood pool, a Shadow Captain quietly slipped through the barriers and quickly retreated.

Only when he was several thousand kilometers away did he take out the communication stone to contact a member of the Intelligence Organization, quickly summarizing the situation.

Then, he slipped back into the barriers to continue monitoring Duke Farah.

……

"Duke Farah?"

Yi Chen was planning to break through to the seventh level of Yuan Immortal before heading to the Undying Star System.

The latest news from the Intelligence Organization made him change his mind.

He intended to go to the Celestial Spirit System first to gain some experience in the territory of the Undying Race.

This way, he could also prepare for the future unification of the Tianling Star Cluster.

Once he confirmed his plan, he requested the Intelligence Organization to check Moses Marquises’ exact location while switching to his miniature flying vehicle, heading straight to the area directly controlled by the Undying Race.

In just half a day’s time, he arrived at the planet where Moses Marquises was located.

Yi Chen then switched to his flying treasure, patiently waiting for his target to come to him.

……

On the Huiyue Planet, one of Moses Marquises’ territories.

For years, Duke Farah had been plagued by the issue of choosing a side.

Meanwhile, Moses Marquises was troubled by why Duke Farah had not yet chosen a side.

Duke Farah sought stability, whereas he was ambitious and leaned more towards radical approaches.

He had always hoped that Duke Farah would boldly choose a side to support.

That way, as a general under Duke Farah, he could achieve significant accomplishments and gain more territory and top-tier resources based on his merits.

Of course, there was also the possibility of failure.

But he was willing to take the gamble.

Unfortunately, Duke Farah consistently sought stability and refused to officially support either the Undying King or Duke Bolai.

This left him stuck in the Tianling Star Cluster, feeling lonely as he watched the Undying Star System flourish, filled with frustration.

Unable to gain military accomplishments in the Undying Star System, his territory in the Tianling Star Cluster kept shrinking.

Especially after Duke Farah chose to give up suppression, his territory dropped dramatically from over a thousand to just ten.

Along with this came a steep decline in resource income.

Not only that, but the direct soldiers he had trained in his territory were continually reassigned by Duke Farah to support the Undying King.

The resources he had accumulated over the years were also taken by Duke Farah to support Duke Bolai.

Even though Duke Farah consistently promised them, the Marquises, that once the Undying King and Duke Bolai determined the victor, and the entire Tianling Star Cluster was unified again, they would surely be compensated, Marquises Moses was still extremely dissatisfied with Duke Farah.

He was not alone; many other Marquises shared his discontent with Duke Farah.

However, since Duke Farah was incredibly powerful, no one dared to stand up against him.

Although Marquises Moses did not dare to oppose the orders given by Duke Farah, he chose to comply outwardly while secretly undermining him.

He found an excuse and delayed for several days before finally setting off.

He personally controlled a blue, hollow, spherical flying treasure and headed toward the blood-colored planet.

He did not bring any subordinates or practice his skills.

He considered it a chance to clear his mind.

After all, with his strength realm, he was among the strongest at the top of the pyramid in the entire Tianling Star Cluster, so he felt safe.

The reason for this was that his strength realm had already reached its limit, and he hadn’t made any progress in hundreds of years.

This was also the main reason he wanted Duke Farah to choose a side.

Only with significant accomplishments could he possibly obtain large territories and vast resources, allowing him access to materials that could enhance his talents.

Oh!

Not long after breaking through the atmosphere, his Perception Ability sensed a flying treasure resembling a palace.

From the material used, it seemed to be crafted from low-grade immortal ores.

It looked quite impressive.

Marquises Moses felt a bit confused.

Such a level of flying treasure should at least require a Marquises-level individual to possess.

However, among the many Marquises he knew, none had a flying treasure with this kind of appearance.

Moreover, this was Huiyue Planet, one of his private territories.

Normally, Marquises would not visit without a reason.

Even if they did come, they would notify him and wouldn’t just hover in outer space.

Could it be a strong member of a race?

The more Marquises Moses thought about it, the more confused he became.

This possibility seemed even lower.

Although the dominant races in the Tianling Star Cluster had successfully freed themselves from the control of the Undying Race, that was because Duke Farah didn’t want to waste too many troops and resources, actively giving up on the continuous suppression that kept rising and falling.

In the Tianling Star Cluster, the Undying Race was still the strongest.

No other race’s strong members would dare come to a planet controlled by the Undying Race.

“Who is inside?”

Marquises Moses decided to control his flying treasure and approach, sending his Perception Ability toward the palace-shaped flying treasure.

Without a doubt, this was a reckless act.

If Duke Farah saw it, he would undoubtedly recognize this palace-shaped flying treasure as Yi Chen’s.

Although Yi Chen had refined his flying treasure multiple times, its appearance had not changed much.

As one of the dukes with great power in the Undying Race, Duke Farah would naturally have received images and information about Yi Chen from the Undying Race.

But Marquises Moses did not know this.

At most, he only knew some things about Yi Chen.

“You’re the one I’ve been waiting for, and I’m getting a bit impatient!”

Yi Chen flew out from the flying treasure.

He had been here for several days, waiting for Marquises Moses to come out.

Although training while drawing luck from the principles of heaven and earth didn’t waste much time, waiting for so many days still made him a bit annoyed.

“You are from humanity?”

Marquises Moses widened his eyes in surprise.

A member of humanity actually came to the Tianling Star Cluster?

And judging from the aura of the other person, he had reached a level of over one hundred and twenty, just one major realm below him.

Could he be the strongest member of humanity, Yi Chen?

Marquises Moses felt a bit dazed.

What was happening?

The strongest member of humanity, whom all the dominant races in the star cluster were desperately searching for, suddenly appeared in the Tianling Star Cluster, and even right in front of him?

After a brief moment of shock, a surge of joy erupted deep within him.
