Chapter 669: Unable to Contact Mares

"The Soul Emperor and most of the Soul Kings have already been killed, and the Soul Clan is no longer a concern. However, those who dare to provoke our Tree-Dwelling Tribe must be completely annihilated to cleanse the shame!"

Seeing Blake return with pent-up frustration, Bunier could relate to his feelings.

He also felt it was far too easy for the Soul Emperor to self-destruct.

Since that was the case, they could only vent their anger on the entire Soul Clan.

Blake nodded, agreeing with Bunier’s words.

Only then did Bunier turn to another powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe: "Inform the other nineteen powerful beings to gather here."

"Yes!"

The powerful being immediately took out a communication stone.

Bunier then looked at Lu Qingxian.

"Thank you, gentlemen, for exterminating the Soul Clan and helping our human federation eliminate this great danger."

Lu Qingxian hurriedly flattered them.

The federal High-ranking Leaders beamed with joy as they praised him.

In their hearts, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Bunier had already transmitted the video clip of the Soul Emperor’s self-destruction using his Perception Ability.

With the Soul Emperor and most of the Soul Kings killed, the entire Soul Clan posed no threat to the human federation anymore.

The calamity and its fruit arising from the human federation’s citizens stealing Yi Chen’s various skills finally ceased to be a pressing issue.

The sixth batch of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe still had some usefulness.

"A mere Soul Emperor is nothing significant. My plan is to exterminate the Soul Clan while dealing with the Shadow King or finding and capturing the strongest member of humanity simultaneously."

Bunier spoke, "We will contact another Tree-Dwelling Tribe powerful being skilled in tracking and searching techniques. He will join us here. Blake and I will wait for you, and with his abilities, we will locate the Shadow King or the strongest member of humanity."

"At the same time, you should arrange for a High-ranking Leader to stay behind and accompany the twenty powerful beings and their teams once they gather. Under their protection, we will head to the Fog Cloud Clan’s stronghold to directly force them to send their troops to annihilate the entire Soul Clan!"

"This plan is perfect!"

Lu Qingxian and the group of federal High-ranking Leaders wore ecstatic expressions.

They understood Bunier’s intentions.

The Fog Cloud Clan was over two million light-years away from the galaxy, passing through the territories of several dominant races, and the threat of the Shadow King still loomed.

Moreover, the Fog Cloud Star System was the Fog Cloud Clan’s domain.

Rashly sending a battleship fleet to besiege the Soul Clan posed considerable risks.

However, with the strength of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s forces, it was equally difficult to wipe out the scattered Soul Clan members.

Even if the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s forces were strong, they were limited in number.

The best approach was for the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s forces to leverage their power to coerce the Fog Cloud Clan into cooperation.

Utilizing the Fog Cloud Clan’s military might would enable them to thoroughly exterminate the entire Soul Clan.

Similarly, the Fog Cloud Clan witnessing the terrifying power of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe’s strong members would help the human federation eliminate all hidden threats, leading to a swift unification and conquest of the entire star cluster.

"Since you all have no objections, let’s proceed with this plan!"

Bunier made the decision and then looked at Blake.

Blake knew what Bunier wanted to say; he simply nodded.

Bunier didn’t say more and immediately took out the communication stone to contact the foreign affairs department.

The three Tree-Dwelling Tribe members, skilled in tracking and searching techniques, had been inexplicably assassinated, leading to a loss of face for both him and Blake.

Fortunately, they seemed to have resolved the trouble with the Soul Clan, completing a task.

Although it was embarrassing, it wasn’t enough for them to feel uncomfortable contacting the foreign affairs department.

Of course, there was another important reason.

Their other task required the ability to track and locate targets.

Otherwise, no matter how strong their strength realm was, it would be difficult to find Yi Chen and the Shadow King, who had been hiding away.

Simply resolving the issue with the Soul Clan, paired with their blunder that led to the assassination of three skilled trackers from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, had truly shown them the strength of the rumors about the incompatibility between the star cluster and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

They too wished to complete their tasks quickly and leave this place.

Soon, the foreign affairs department connected the communication.

After learning about Bunier’s situation and requirements, they immediately contacted Mares’s friend to ask for Mares’s current coordinates.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

Bunier and Blake patiently waited for a reply from the foreign affairs department.

Not far away, Yi Chen continued to quickly extract Bunier’s luck.

In just over ten minutes, a Large Battleship arrived first due to its proximity.

As another twenty minutes passed without a response from the foreign affairs department, Bunier and Blake began to feel an unsettling sensation.

Unable to contain himself, Bunier took out the communication stone again and contacted the staff at the foreign affairs department.

The response he received was that the communication request sent to Mares by his friend remained unanswered.

The foreign affairs department was trying to contact Mares’s other friends to reach out to him.

"Unable to contact…"

After ending the call, Bunier glanced at Blake, noticing his troubled expression.

His bad feeling grew stronger.

The inability to reach Mares could stem from a few possibilities.

One was that Mares was intentionally not answering the communication.

Another was that Mares might be busy with important matters, leaving no time to engage in communication.

The last option was that something unfortunate had happened to Mares.

The first possibility had about a fifty percent chance.

After all, Mares was tricked into coming here by Morris and suffered significant losses.

Though he had agreed to a temporary truce with the persuasion from the foreign affairs department, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t suddenly change his mind and want to kill Morris in this star cluster to seek revenge.

The second possibility could almost be ignored.

No matter how important something was, it shouldn’t take over half an hour without answering.

As for the third possibility, it also stood at around fifty percent.

The main reason was that the Shadow King also possessed powerful tracking and searching abilities.

And Mares had been heavily injured by Morris.

Even though his strength realm was higher than the Shadow King, if the Shadow King launched a sudden attack, the chance of killing Mares was not small.

Bunier and Blake felt deep regret.

Had they known that Mares might be indecisive or in danger, they should have had the foreign affairs department facilitate a meeting before coming here, allowing Morris to meet with Mares temporarily to sign a truce agreement.

This way, Mares could be with Morris.

Such an approach would not only resolve the issue of Mares potentially changing his mind but also help avoid the risk of him being assassinated by the Shadow King.

Unfortunately, the foreign affairs department only wanted to downplay things at that time, fearing that a meeting between Morris and Mares would ignite more conflict.

After they arrived, they even hesitated to act on a plan that Mares secretly provided to the Soul Clan, intending to contact Mares again after resolving all troubles before leaving together.

As a result, the three skilled trackers from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe were assassinated.

It seemed that something had also gone wrong with Mares.

Bunier and Blake looked at each other, resigned to wait, hoping that Mares was simply preoccupied with something important and couldn’t answer the communication for now.
