Chapter 702: Lurking

After just half an hour, Titan Bo’s communication stone began to vibrate.

A friend was sending a communication request.

"Your Majesty, a friend has contacted me; they must have discovered my identity."

Titan Bo immediately informed Yi Chen.

"Ignore it!"

Yi Chen replied without hesitation.

"Understood!"

Titan Bo nodded.

Being discovered was something he had anticipated long ago.

This outcome would definitely lead to him being ostracized by the entire Time Tribe.

His territory and subordinates would surely become nothing.

However, he didn’t care.

The enemies he needed to eliminate in this life had already been captured by Yi Chen; as long as he could fulfill his wish, he would be willing to give up his life, let alone his territory and those subordinates.

There was nothing he couldn’t let go of.

The only thing that truly troubled him was that, as a member of the Time Tribe, he was helping outsiders steal a powerful treasure that originally belonged to the Time Tribe, and it was a treasure related to the laws of time, leaving him with a deep sense of guilt.

But this guilt was still far weaker than the desire for revenge.

Soon, a stream of communication requests kept coming in.

They were all sent by Titan Bo’s friends.

Titan Bo ignored them all.

For over an hour, the Second Elder of the Time Tribe received the news and his expression turned extremely grim.

This Time Tribe warrior, who had seized the treasure, was ignoring all communication requests for many reasons: perhaps he had been ambushed and killed by the Boljin Tribe strong fighter, perhaps he was still in the fleeing phase and did not want to waste time, or perhaps he had reached some sort of agreement with the Boljin Tribe strong fighter…

But the true reason was simple: in a short time, he did not plan to surrender the treasure to the tribe.

Things were getting complicated.

…

The Second Elder of the Time Tribe felt troubled, and Yi Chen wasn’t faring much better.

After successfully reaching the edge of this area, Titan Bo sensed a massive defensive shield and immediately notified the Shadow King to change direction.

However, no matter how they altered their course, the result was the same.

They continuously encountered the blockade of the defensive shield.

This defensive shield was not particularly powerful.

But once they broke through, they would surely be detected, and the Time Tribe would once again learn their approximate coordinates.

"Your Majesty, the Time Tribe has blocked the entire area."

Minutes later, after changing locations five or six times, the Shadow King reluctantly transmitted a message to Yi Chen.

"Since that’s the case, let’s find a nearby Deserted Star."

Yi Chen immediately changed his plan, deciding to see if he could use the teleportation array to escape.

In a situation where the power of the laws of space across the entire star field was sealed, the chances were slim, but it was worth a try.

The Shadow King quickly turned around, found a Deserted Star nearby, and then expanded the hidden range to cover an area of the Deserted Star.

Titan Bo began using his Perception Ability to determine that there were no warriors above level 230 among the sentinels coming and going nearby.

In the Shadow King’s hidden range, Yi Chen started to set up a defensive formation.

He then arranged a teleportation array within the defensive formation.

After just an hour, the two formations were successfully established.

Yi Chen immediately tried to use the teleportation array to teleport to another teleportation array in the Time Star Cluster.

However, there was no response from the teleportation array.

Undoubtedly, the teleportation array he created could not break through the Time Tribe’s seal on the power of the laws of space in the entire star field.

There was no choice but to remain trapped in this star field.

Yi Chen remained calm.

Acquiring the treasure brought enormous gains, so paying a price was normal.

Besides, the Great Flame Empire was back on track, and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe wouldn’t make any big moves for now; as long as they weren’t isolated in a blockade for hundreds of years, everything would be fine.

Even if the Time Tribe went mad and risked everything to block the entire star field for over a hundred years, he still believed he could find a way to leave.

Moreover, in such a long time, he could easily break through to over level 200, and forcing a breakthrough would be no problem.

At this moment, the most important thing was to figure out how to avoid the dense searches of the Time Tribe’s Sentinel patrols.

If it were Marfa and Xilite, they would have no choice but to find a dangerous area to hide from the searches of the Time Tribe’s Sentinels below level 200.

However, they would have no means against the searches of the Time Tribe’s warriors above level 200.

So, every month or two, they would inevitably be discovered once by the Time Tribe’s Sentinels.

Yi Chen was completely different.

He had other methods.

After dismantling both the teleportation array and the defensive formation, he transmitted to the Shadow King, "Let’s go! Find a nearby life planet."

"Okay!"

The Shadow King glanced at the star chart and then set off toward the nearest life planet.

Avoiding the searching Sentinels along the way, they successfully arrived at the life planet.

"Let’s check that area with the weaker defensive barriers!"

Through the images transmitted using the Shadow Clan’s Perception Ability, Yi Chen noticed that this life planet had thousands of areas blocked by defensive barriers.

These defensive barriers varied in strength.

After receiving Yi Chen’s instructions, the Shadow King used the unique capabilities of the Shadow Clan to silently infiltrate a defensive barrier with a lesser strength.

Inside, there was only one level 200 Time Tribe warrior practicing.

Yi Chen quickly informed the Shadow King to leave and head to another hidden chamber with weaker defensive barriers.

Upon entering, he discovered a level 155 Time Tribe warrior and then left this defensive barrier to check other barriers.

After tracking more than twenty barriers, he finally found one housing a level 160 Time Tribe warrior who was about to break through.

Yi Chen decisively took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and a strong pulling force suddenly surged forth.

The level 160 Time Tribe warrior was deep in meditation and had no idea that an enemy had silently entered his defensive barrier.

Before he could react, he was instantly drawn into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

In a panic, he expanded his Perception Ability to track his surroundings and was terrified to discover that it was an enormous space.

This space had mountains and rivers, along with a large treasure made of spirit mine.

"What… what is this treasure?"

The level 160 Time Tribe warrior felt that the treasure looked somewhat familiar.

After thinking carefully, he suddenly realized.

This treasure was the one that the tribe was offering a bounty for!

It was said to be related to the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

As long as one could discover this treasure, just providing information would yield enormous benefits and rewards.

Before he could get excited, a previously unseen race suddenly appeared within his Perception Ability.

It was Yi Chen, who had entered the space of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

"Sorry, I need to borrow your image for a while."

Yi Chen abruptly swung his sword, unleashing waves of Sword Energy toward the level 160 Time Tribe warrior.

The level 160 Time Tribe warrior turned pale with fear and dodged with all his might.

But it was of no use.

Although both were of the same level, Yi Chen’s Heaven-Slashing Technique, both in power and speed of the Sword Energy, surpassed what a Time Tribe warrior could withstand.

Slash…

The sound of tearing filled the air.

The Time Tribe warrior barely dodged the first wave of Sword Energy before the second wave struck him.

With a scream, he could no longer withstand the barrage of Sword Energy attacks.

In an instant, his body was cut into pieces, and he fainted.
