Chapter 665: Stronger Than Expected

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe has its plans, the Soul Clan has its plans, and Yi Chen also has his own plans.

In Yi Chen’s eyes, ensuring the elimination of the three adept trackers from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe is his primary goal for this mission.

The Shadow King’s actions, filled with truths and deceptions, are all aimed at this objective.

Whether this goal can be achieved, like the Soul Emperor’s plan, depends on whether he can use the Soul Emperor as bait to distract Bunier and Blake, the two level 220 strong fighters, allowing the Soul Kings to deal with the three trackers from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

As for the follow-up plans, they differ completely from the Soul Emperor’s.

The Soul Emperor’s subsequent plan is to immediately attack another two hundred and ten level strong fighter and to strike at the strong fighters of various teams as much as possible.

On the other hand, Yi Chen’s plan is to have the Shadow King continue to follow Bunier and Blake to extract their luck.

As for the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan, Yi Chen has already prepared to discard them as pawns.

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe has sent six batches of people to this star cluster, and they should be given some sweet rewards to build their confidence to remain in this star cluster.

The Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan serve as the rewards for Bunier and Blake, ensuring their confidence is not completely shattered.

To Yi Chen, the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan are completely inconsequential pawns.

In the early days, the existence of the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan could serve as leverage and a threat to the human federation.

Additionally, they could divert the attention of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, somewhat scattering their focus.

After the human federation collected the second payment, the first role of the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan became unnecessary.

With the successful control of the two level 220 strong fighters and the Shadow King having the potential to quickly rise to level 210, the second role is also minimal.

Discarding them poses no psychological pressure at all.

After moving away from the life planet where the Soul Emperor resides, the Shadow King first informed Yi Chen that he would soon cancel his hiding state.

Just in case, even though he was confident that the defensive formation surrounding his flying treasure would shield his presence, the Soul Kings likely would not sense him.

Yi Chen still wrapped his divine consciousness around the entire flying treasure and teleported to tens of millions of kilometers away, leaving the Shadow King’s concealment.

Only then did the Shadow King send a message to the other Shadow Kings, notifying them, and then he retrieved the energy signature of Bunier that he had collected.

He began deploying his tracking and searching techniques.

As a result, his hiding state was interrupted.

Soon, the Shadow King was able to determine Bunier’s approximate coordinates and distance.

He immediately re-entered his hiding state, enveloping all sixty-plus Soul Kings in it.

Then, he set off in the direction of Bunier and the others.

On the way, he brought Yi Chen back into the stealth range.

Throughout the entire process, the sixty-plus Soul Kings remained completely unaware of Yi Chen’s presence.

At the speed of Bunier and Blake, this distance was not significant, but they needed to wait for various teams to reach the major life planets first, which forced them to slow down.

With the slower pace of Bunier and the others and the Shadow King’s knowledge of their location, it only took about twenty minutes for him to successfully locate Bunier and his group using his impressive Perception Ability.

Once again, he blended back into the team.

Soon, the Shadow King began transmitting the images and sounds he sensed through his Perception Ability to Yi Chen and the sixty-plus Soul Kings.

Yi Chen activated the Luck Technique again, continuously drawing Bunier’s luck.

The sixty-plus Soul Kings were extremely excited.

From the images and sounds transmitted by the Shadow King, they could determine that the information data provided was completely accurate.

At the very least, this team indeed consisted of just over one hundred Tree-Dwelling Tribe members and about twenty high-ranking members of humanity.

Among the more than one hundred from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, only three had strong auras.

One of them reached the level of a two hundred level strong fighter.

The other two, with even stronger auras, must be two hundred and ten level strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The Soul Kings did not think too deeply, suspecting that these two strong beings could be two hundred and twenty level fighters.

The team moved along slowly.

After two or three hours, the twenty strong fighters sent messages that they had arrived at their respective life planets.

Bunier and Blake immediately took the high-ranking humans and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members and accelerated towards the life planet where the Soul Emperor was located.

Fortunately, since the distance was not too great, Bunier and Blake’s speed did not reach its maximum.

The Shadow King pushed forward at full speed, barely keeping up.

"This guy, unaware of danger, is indeed waiting here at the spatial rift!"

Soon, Bunier and Blake sensed the presence of the Soul Emperor.

The three powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, who had their luck drained by Yi Chen and excelled at tracking and searching techniques, clearly faced misfortune.

Upon sensing the Soul Emperor’s presence, Bunier and Blake immediately dropped everything and rushed towards the Soul Emperor at full speed.

At the same time, they pulled out their communication stones and notified the twenty strong fighters to be ready to destroy the spatial rift as soon as they spotted the Soul Emperor.

The reason they planned to destroy the spatial rift only after discovering the Soul Emperor’s whereabouts, rather than beforehand, was because if they destroyed it too early, the Soul Emperor, while unable to escape to the twenty life planets through the rift, could flee to other life planets instead.

The number of the twenty strong fighters was still somewhat limited.

They could not completely block all the spatial rifts connected to the life planet where the Soul Emperor resided.

As Bunier and Blake accelerated, the Shadow King immediately sent a warning message to the Soul Emperor as agreed.

The Soul King responsible for keeping in contact with the Soul Emperor also swiftly alerted him upon receiving the images and sounds transmitted by the Shadow King’s Perception Ability.

The Soul Emperor’s heart raced to its limit.

He hurriedly focused, maximizing his Perception Ability to sense the whereabouts and auras of Bunier and Blake, preparing to leave at any moment.

He refrained from using the spatial rift immediately to buy some extra time.

If he fled right away, the two strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe would undoubtedly pause, hindering the Soul Kings from escaping after their attack.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Finally, two terrifying auras approached rapidly.

The Soul Emperor’s face changed drastically.

He was horrified to find that these two auras were several times more powerful than he had anticipated.

Their speed was also much faster than expected.

In an instant, the two auras had entered the atmosphere of the life planet.

They did not resemble two hundred and ten level strong fighters at all.

They were more like… two hundred and twenty level strong fighters!

Could it be that the Shadow King was deceiving him?

Otherwise, given that the Shadow King also reached the strength realm of two hundred level fighters, it would be impossible not to distinguish between two hundred and ten level fighters and two hundred and twenty level fighters.

However, he could not understand what reason the Shadow King would have to deceive him.

He dared not think any further and activated the spatial rift immediately.

"Trying to escape?"

Bunier and Blake launched a strong attack on the spatial rift together.

"Attack!"

As the Soul Emperor sensed the powerful auras of Bunier and Blake, the Shadow King issued the order to attack to over sixty Soul Kings.
