Chapter 667: The Shadow King Escapes

Boom!

The angry strike from the level 220 strong fighter was something the Soul Kings simply could not withstand.

Cries of agony echoed continuously.

With just one blow, six Soul Kings were smashed into pieces, with their souls unable to escape their bodies in time.

“Shadow King, save us!”

“Shadow King, what are you doing?”

The Soul Kings were horrified, desperately calling for the Shadow King.

Unfortunately, no one answered.

The Shadow King was at the edge of the sensing range, watching the chaos with Yi Chen.

Bunier soon joined them, his face pale with horror.

Not far away, seeing the return of the two level 220 Tree-Dwelling Tribe warriors, Lu Qingxian and several federal High-ranking Leaders felt a bit relieved despite their earlier fright.

They glanced at each other, seeing the understanding in one another’s eyes that confirmed their suspicions.

The Tree-Dwelling Tribe was genuinely ill-fated with this star cluster.

Even with the arrival of two level 220 strong fighters, misfortune still followed.

Despite having an assured victory, a momentary mistake led to the assassination of three Tree-Dwelling Tribe members skilled in tracking and searching techniques.

This escalated their mission difficulty from beginner level to hell level.

Fortunately, they were still two level 220 strong fighters.

Though they had come to this star cluster and could not escape misfortune, it seemed less intense than the five previous batches.

After all, all the resources and treasures brought to the human federation had been successfully received, and there were no unexpected incidents during the process.

Now, regarding the troubling Soul Clan, although there was an accident, the sixty-plus Soul Kings were seemingly unable to escape disaster.

In a blink of an eye, despite the Soul Kings screaming at the top of their lungs, the Shadow King did not show up for rescue.

Meanwhile, Bunier and Blake, filled with rage, quickly killed all the Soul Kings.

After exchanging glances, they both swiftly flew around, activating their Perception Ability to the maximum.

In the distance, the Shadow King saw their behavior; instead of retreating, he moved closer, quickly bringing Yi Chen to the side of the federal High-ranking Leaders.

This way, he could avoid a sudden attack from Bunier and Blake.

His initial retreat to the edge of the sensing range with Yi Chen was exactly because of this concern.

If Bunier and Blake suddenly teamed up—one protecting the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and the federal High-ranking Leaders, and the other attacking furiously around them—there was a high likelihood their overwhelming attacks could reach him.

Using their Perception Ability to search the area would be futile for Bunier and Blake.

No matter how close they were, their Perception Ability couldn’t sense his presence at all.

Bunier and Blake’s actions clearly revealed that they still believed the Shadow King’s hiding state could not escape the detection of their Perception Ability as level 220 strong fighters.

Because of this belief, the Shadow King felt confident to return to the crowd with Yi Chen.

As the Shadow King transmitted the surrounding video and sounds through his Perception Ability to Yi Chen, Yi Chen restarted the Luck Technique and continued to extract luck from Bunier.

“They must have escaped!”

Five or six minutes later, Bunier and Blake returned to the team with pale faces.

They even hesitated to look at Lu Qingxian and the other federal High-ranking Leaders.

It was simply too embarrassing.

This time, when taking Lu Qingxian and the federal High-ranking Leaders out, their goal was to showcase the strength of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe and boost the confidence of these leaders in the tribe.

However, they faced an unexpected situation during the simplest of the three tasks, leading to the assassination of three Tree-Dwelling Tribe members skilled in tracking and searching techniques.

Moreover, this accident resulted from their own low-level mistake.

Given their strength realm, dealing with the Soul Emperor alone was fine; sending two fighters together instead of one made very little difference.

Yet, they did not even think twice when they sensed the Soul Emperor’s presence and rushed over together.

What they did not anticipate was how the Shadow King and the Soul Clan dared to go to such lengths, willing to sacrifice over sixty Soul Kings just to kill the three Tree-Dwelling Tribe members and wait for their misstep.

The only thing that gave Bunier and Blake some relief was that after successfully killing the three skilled in tracking and searching techniques, the Soul Kings did not launch a desperate attack on the federal High-ranking Leaders.

If they had done so, despite the protection of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, their weak strength meant even a slight residual force could wipe them all out.

If the federal High-ranking Leaders were killed by those Soul Kings, things would get messy.

Even with their status, they would not know how to report to the High-ranking leaders in the foreign affairs department.

This was indeed a small blessing amidst the misfortune.

“What should we do next?”

Bunier looked at Blake, feeling helpless.

Without the three Tree-Dwelling Tribe members skilled in tracking and searching techniques, they could no longer follow the Shadow King and Yi Chen’s whereabouts.

“Don’t forget, there’s another Tree-Dwelling Tribe member skilled in tracking and searching techniques in this star cluster.”

Blake suddenly thought of Mares.

Bunier was reminded of this and immediately felt more hopeful.

His gloomy mood brightened up.

“No matter what, we should first deal with the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan. Once we take care of them, we can have the foreign affairs department contact Mares for us to meet up. With his tracking and searching techniques, we can locate the Shadow King and the strongest member of humanity.”

Blake pondered.

Bunier nodded in agreement.

After they greeted Lu Qingxian and the other federal High-ranking Leaders, they quietly waited for news at their location.

It seemed luck was returning.

After waiting for three or four minutes, Bunier received a communication request from a level 190 Tree-Dwelling Tribe member.

As Bunier expected, the Soul Emperor could teleport through spatial rifts to reach hundreds of life planets nearby.

However, he was not very fortunate; the life planet he arrived at was the one managed by a powerful being.

Twenty strong fighters from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, along with over a hundred high-end combatants, stealthily infiltrated twenty nearby life planets to monitor the spatial rift’s every movement, avoiding the gaze of the Soul Clan.

As soon as the Soul Emperor appeared at the spatial rift, the leading Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighter immediately launched a powerful attack, destroying the only spatial rift on that life planet.

Afterward, they attempted to contain the Soul Emperor.

However, it was not easy to keep the Soul Emperor.

Inside his black gemstone, there were still over forty Soul Kings.

Moreover, this life planet also housed many Soul Clan members.

The ensuing battle still favored the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters.

In terms of Top-tier Combat Power, the strength of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe strong fighters was on par with that of the Soul Emperor.

But when it came to high-end combatants at one hundred ninety level and one hundred eighty level, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe had over a hundred, while the Soul Clan only had about thirty Soul Kings.

After managing to control the situation, a Tree-Dwelling Tribe member was able to contact Bunier and share the Soul Emperor’s whereabouts.

“Go!”

After ending the call and successfully learning the Soul Emperor’s coordinates, Bunier issued the command.

The two level 220 strong fighters immediately led the federal High-ranking Leaders and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members, charging fiercely toward the life planet where the Soul Emperor was located.
