Chapter 517: Yi Chen Appears

"Speaking of which, we are almost at the blood-colored planet. Lord Marquises Hippo, how should we proceed with this operation?"

A certain earl seemed to remember something and asked Marquises Hippo, who sat on the Throne.

The group of Marquises and earls immediately ended their complaints and turned their attention to Marquises Hippo.

"After we arrive at the blood-colored planet, let’s stay nearby for now!"

Marquises Hippo had long thought about the action plan, and he spoke lightly, "If any earl is willing to make a trip, they can first investigate the situation of the Nika tribe on the blood-colored planet."

"The Nika tribe is currently quite formidable; when investigating, it’s alright to take things slow. The important thing is to be cautious to avoid any dangerous situations."

"Indeed, that’s Lord Marquises Hippo, whose considerations are thorough!"

"This cautious and careful plan will surely ensure the success of this mission."

"We don’t have much going on currently, so a safe approach is the best."

In the hall, a wave of admiration erupted.

Marquises Hippo’s words once again showed his stance.

No matter Duke Farah’s attitude, he would continue to apply pressure on Duke Farah.

The Marquises and earls present naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

Their thoughts were very simple; even if Duke Farah continued to be evasive, and even if they could not force Duke Farah to choose a side, at least they could ensure that after Duke Farah reunified the Tianling Star Cluster, they would receive sufficient and generous compensation.

After all, no matter how powerful Duke Farah was, he still needed a large number of Marquises and earls to guard the entire Tianling Star Cluster.

Given that all the Marquises and earls under him were already fed up and dissatisfied, when Duke Farah reunited the entire Celestial Spirit System and redistributed territories, he would have to offer more territorial power to appease their discontent.

"Hey, isn’t that Marquises Moses?"

Marquises Hippo lightly exclaimed.

He was surprised to find Marquises Moses suddenly appearing at the edge of his perception.

This situation felt a bit strange to him.

After all, they were in the outer space near the blood-colored planet.

Why was Marquises Moses here instead of staying in his own territory?

Soon, five other Marquises sensed Marquises Moses’s presence as well.

"Why is Marquises Moses here?"

"Could it be that he also received orders from Duke Farah?"

"That shouldn’t be the case. As far as I know, when the Nika tribe first rose, Duke Farah had already sent Marquises Moses to investigate the information."

"After delaying for quite some time, Marquises Moses reported back that the Nika tribe posed no threat at all."

"But in reality, the Nika tribe could force the Spirit Heart Tribe to surrender without a fight, clearly far exceeding the findings of Marquises Moses’s investigation."

"This clearly shows that Marquises Moses has been giving us superficial compliance with his tasks, or perhaps he never came to the blood-colored planet to investigate the Nika tribe at all."

"The reason he hasn’t faced any punishment is simply that Duke Farah knows we are currently extremely dissatisfied with him, and he fears punishing Marquises Moses would provoke a strong backlash from us Marquises and earls."

"In this case, how could Duke Farah possibly send Marquises Moses to carry out any tasks?"

Six Marquises found it incredibly strange to see Marquises Moses here.

On the other side, Marquises Moses also sensed the presence of a giant palace.

He intended to inform Yi Chen, who was inside the flying treasure.

But after thinking it over, he chose not to.

He had once been to the Undying Star System with Yi Chen and had witnessed Yi Chen’s overwhelming power. He knew exactly how strong Yi Chen’s strength realm was.

He also knew that Yi Chen’s Perception Ability was incredibly powerful.

And that was when Yi Chen was only at level one hundred twenty.

Now, Yi Chen was at over level one hundred thirty, a whole major realm higher.

If he could sense the giant palace, the master surely could.

In fact, long before the giant palace slowly flew within four hundred thousand kilometers, Yi Chen had already sensed its presence.

Seeing the giant palace approaching, Yi Chen transmitted a message to Marquises Moses: "Soon, I will capture everyone. You persuade them to surrender and sign a life-and-death contract with you."

"Yes!"

Marquises Moses felt overjoyed.

He guessed Yi Chen might want to control these Marquises and earls.

After all, there were six Marquises inside.

Among them was even Marquises Hippo, who was second only to Duke Farah in strength.

If they could control these Marquises and earls, making them insiders and spies for the Great Flame Empire in the Tianling Star Cluster against the Undying Race, it would greatly help when the Great Flame Empire expanded further and aimed to eliminate the Undying Race in the Tianling Star Cluster.

What he did not expect was that Yi Chen actually intended to make him the leader.

He thought Yi Chen would choose the stronger Marquises Hippo as the leader of the insiders.

After all, besides Duke Farah, Marquises Hippo was the strongest Marquises and should rightfully lead all the insiders.

But evidently, in the eyes of this strongest member of humanity, strength realm was not the main concern; he cared more about who was the first to surrender and pledge loyalty.

Rather than focusing on higher strength realms, he preferred to nurture and elevate those who surrendered early and showed loyalty.

This was undoubtedly fantastic news for Marquises Moses.

Yi Chen instantly left the flying treasure.

"What’s going on?"

"Where did this humanity come from?"

"How is Marquises Moses with humanity? Could it be that Marquises Moses has secretly contacted Duke Bolai and defected to him?"

The moment Yi Chen appeared, Marquises Hippo and the other five Marquises were all taken aback.

Because they had not sensed the presence of Yi Chen’s flying treasure before.

Yi Chen’s flying treasure was surrounded by a defensive formation that could shield Perception Ability.

Thus, from start to finish, Marquises Hippo and the other five Marquises had only sensed Marquises Moses’s presence and not the flying treasure.

When Yi Chen suddenly exited the flying treasure, to them, it seemed like he had appeared out of thin air.

A human appearing out of nowhere left them in utter shock.

In the small star system of the Tianling Star Cluster, there were rarely any traces of human activity.

Even as Marquises of the Undying Race, they had only seen humanity in the Undying Star System.

A human appearing out of nowhere, especially with Marquises Moses nearby, was utterly strange.

Moreover, this human wasn’t wearing any spacesuit.

As far as they knew, without counting the Great Flame Kingdom, which had disappeared for several years, even the top genius among humanity would only reach levels fifty or sixty at most and certainly could not survive in space without any spacesuit.

While they were astonished and completely puzzled about what was happening, hundreds of kilometers away, a sword suddenly appeared in Yi Chen’s hand.

With a simple wave, he slashed toward the giant palace.

A Sword Energy screamed out and covered a thousand miles in an instant.

Marquises Hippo and the five other Marquises felt their hearts skip a beat.

The Shield of Protection created by Yi Chen also had the effect of blocking Perception Ability exploration, but it wasn’t as powerful as the defensive formation.

However, using the Shield of Protection to obscure his aura and realm was not hard.

Because of this, Marquises Hippo and the five Marquises had no idea how strong Yi Chen was without a spacesuit.

But from that last sword strike, they could sense the immortal power spilling out and gauge Yi Chen’s aura and energy intensity.

Thus, they deduced that Yi Chen’s realm might have reached over level one hundred thirty.

Could a humanity realm really reach over level one hundred thirty?

That was absolutely impossible!
