Chapter 515: Almost Discovered

Time flew by.

The speed of extracting fortune had already decreased significantly, and it seemed that Mares had an extremely high total of fortune.

It took Yi Chen five days to successfully draw out Mares’ fortune completely.

When he noticed that the extracted fortune had turned into black luck, he immediately returned this black luck to Mares.

At the same time, he returned a small amount of green luck to Mares.

“What’s going on?”

Mares, who was in the middle of his training, frowned slightly.

He had just sensed some faint movement from the treasure inside his body.

However, this movement quickly disappeared.

He regained his calm.

“This star cluster outside our main region is indeed strange.”

After confirming that the treasure inside him, which could lock in the loss of fortune, had not collapsed, Mares sighed with relief.

This was the first time he borrowed the treasure.

He only knew that it could prevent the loss of fortune and could even release fortune if his own luck ran out.

However, that would cause the treasure to self-destruct.

For now, the treasure remained, just slightly agitated.

To him, it seemed that this star cluster truly caused the fortune of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe to flow away.

The recent agitation of the treasure was merely to fend off and lock in his luck, preventing it from escaping.

He would never guess that the treasure’s earlier movement sensed his fortune was nearly depleted.

It was preparing to release the fortune, but because Yi Chen had returned a little fortune to Mares, it determined that Mares’ fortune was not completely consumed and remained unchanged.

“Your Majesty, it seems that Mares’ expression changed just now; he may have noticed something. But perhaps he reasoned it out himself and didn’t pay much attention, quickly returning to normal.”

The Shadow King promptly informed Yi Chen.

“It seems that the treasure on him reacts when his fortune is drained. However, since I returned a bit of fortune to him, the treasure returned to normal, and he didn’t take notice.”

Yi Chen quickly understood the reason.

He felt a bit fortunate that the treasure did not react quickly enough.

Otherwise, Mares might have realized the fact that his fortune drastically decreased due to Yi Chen’s actions, which could lead him to change his mind and stop dragging things out with Morris.

That would have been a huge loss.

“Everything is done; we can go now!”

Yi Chen bid farewell to the Shadow King.

The Shadow King immediately led him away quietly from the star where Mares was located.

From beginning to end, Mares had not noticed anything unusual, except for his slight fright due to the treasure’s movement.

At the very least, he was unaware that his fortune had been secretly drained until it was almost empty, leaving only a tiny bit behind.

If he knew, his resentment towards Morris would reach a point where he would do anything to drag Morris down with him.

It was Morris’s deception that led him to this star cluster.

Meanwhile, after moving far away from the star where Mares was located, Yi Chen instructed the Shadow Lord to directly take him to the exile planet.

“With the strength realm of the Shadow Lord, can you silently monitor Mares’s every movement?”

“Absolutely!”

The Shadow Lord confirmed.

The Shadow Lord was only one major realm lower than Yi Chen, while Mares was also one major realm lower than Morris, barely reaching the level of a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Unless Mares possessed some top treasure to monitor and spy on, he would not sense the Shadow Lord’s observation.

Conversely, if Mares did have such a treasure, he would not have been able to stay near Mares for five whole days just now.

“Since that’s the case, send a Shadow Lord over to monitor Mares’s every move throughout. You should continue to follow Morris.”

Yi Chen made his decision.

“Understood!”

The Shadow Lord nodded.

“Also, ask the Shadow Lord on the Tree Star Cluster side if he can gather information about Mares through an insider in the foreign affairs department of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.”

Yi Chen added.

Having been accustomed to grasping all the information, the sudden lack of detailed information on Mares left him a bit unsettled.

Of course, more importantly, without detailed information on Mares, it would be difficult to discern his thoughts and decisions.

This was not beneficial for planning ahead.

“Understood!”

The Shadow Lord responded.

Compared to being completely unaware of Mares, the Shadow Lord who remained hidden in the Tree Star Cluster had no way to investigate.

But knowing Mares’s name made it much easier to search.

Of course, this was only relatively easier.

Whether they could find detailed information on Mares remained uncertain.

“Tell them to be cautious over there. It’s fine if they can’t find anything, just don’t expose themselves.”

Yi Chen instructed again and then focused on his cultivation.

Upon reaching the exile planet, the Shadow Lord returned to the headquarters of the Federal Parliament on the life planet to continue monitoring Morris’s every move.

Yi Chen then used the teleportation array to return to the blood-colored planet.

After that, he took control of the flying treasure and arrived in the outer space of the blood-colored planet.

While cultivating, he extracted fortune from the principles of heaven and earth, waiting for the assassination team of the Undying Race to deliver their mission.

In just two days, he successfully advanced to True Immortal Stage Three, heading towards True Immortal Stage Four.

……

The expeditionary army was making rapid progress.

It had been over two months since the Spirit Heart Tribe surrendered as a whole.

In these two months, the Spirit Heart Tribe was about to complete their consolidation.

In no time at all, they would officially send troops to fulfill the second phase set by the expeditionary army to attack the Swift Tribe.

The persuasion team sent to the territory of the Black Tiger Tribe was running smoothly.

So far, among the thirty-plus life planets controlled by the Black Tiger Tribe and over three hundred large tribes, all except one that was destroyed had signed various related contracts, surrendering to the Nika Tribe.

The surrender ratio reached an astonishing level.

Over ninety percent of the smaller and medium-sized tribes declared their surrender.

Only a few smaller and medium-sized tribes, for various reasons, refused to surrender to the powerful Nika Tribe.

Being conquered by those large tribes that had already surrendered to the Nika Tribe was merely a matter of time.

However, due to the slower mobilization of the various tribes, it would take a short time to achieve unification.

But because only a few smaller and medium-sized tribes had not surrendered, the impact was almost negligible, and it would not affect the grand plan of conquering the three races.

The expeditionary army also did not send flying treasures for support.

They simply allowed the large tribes to slowly deal with those remaining smaller and medium-sized tribes that had not surrendered.

Regarding the Undying Race, the assassination team’s strong members were gradually feeling pressured under Duke Farah’s continuous urging.

After some discussion,

they finally gathered together, intending to head to the blood-colored planet to appease Duke Farah.

Once they arrived at the blood-colored planet, how to act and when to act would be entirely up to them.

They thought it would be easy to find reasons to continue delaying and express their dissatisfaction with Duke Farah through this silent protest.

They had no idea what awaited them on the blood-colored planet.
