Chapter 774: Caution Doesn’t Help

"Bad news! The treasure vault is being invaded by strong fighters!"

"What boldness! They should see whose treasure vault this is!"

"Immediately inform the adults! They should not think of escaping!"

The commotion inside the treasure vault quickly caught the attention of the guards outside. After a brief moment of panic, they quickly regained their composure.

This was the treasure vault of the level 240 elder from the Reincarnation Tribe.

Moreover, the elder was currently in closed-door cultivation on this life planet and had not gone out.

It was almost equivalent to robbing the elder’s treasure vault right in front of a level 240 elder from the Reincarnation Tribe.

It was pure suicide.

The guards began to continuously contact their superior for further reporting.

However, after waiting for a while, until the vault fell completely silent, they still hadn’t seen the level 240 elder appear.

No one was able to contact this elder.

Those guards who rushed to the barriers to report were all dumbfounded.

Upon arrival, they did not see the Reincarnation Tribe elder.

They only found the barriers intact but the inside was scattered with debris.

A recently promoted level 240 strong fighter from the Reincarnation Tribe was assassinated within his own territory’s barriers, and the assassin even brazenly entered the treasure vault to empty it out.

This news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the Reincarnation Tribe at a speed that left everyone dumbfounded.

Even the leader of the Reincarnation Tribe made a personal visit.

"Leader, the assassin did not hide his Energy Aura. We can conclude that there are at least three of them: one is a level 230 fighter from the Boljin Tribe, one is a level 230 fighter from the Time Tribe, and the other is a level 220 fighter from an unknown race."

Inside the barrier, a level 220 strong fighter gave the report after conducting a search.

The leader of the Reincarnation Tribe was left utterly confused.

The slain elder, though newly promoted to level 240, was still a level 240 fighter. Unless the attackers could approach silently, how could they possibly assassinate a level 240 fighter with level 230 fighters?

Moreover, the barriers were intact.

How did the assassin enter?

Another important question was who sent these assassins.

Was it the Time Tribe?

The problem was that the Time Tribe was cooperating with the Reincarnation Tribe, secretly sending many elders and strong fighters to the Tree Star Cluster, attempting to control the human federation and Large Battleships.

In this situation, the Time Tribe wouldn’t send assassins to attack the elder of the Reincarnation Tribe.

The Boljin Tribe certainly didn’t have the audacity for that either.

The Boljin Tribe, while a large race and considered dominant in a star cluster, was simply not worth mentioning compared to the Reincarnation Tribe and lacked the courage to provoke them in such a tense situation.

And who was this unknown race that had appeared?

The strong fighters he brought with him had an incredibly strong understanding of the dominant races in the super star cluster.

Being referred to as an unknown race meant they might be a race from outside the super star cluster.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Let’s first try to track the movements of these assassins!"

The leader of the Reincarnation Tribe looked at another strong fighter he had brought along.

The fighter immediately began to gather Energy Aura and employed his tracking and searching techniques.

"Leader, they all carry powerful treasures that can block tracking and searching techniques."

This strong fighter quickly reached a conclusion.

The leader of the Reincarnation Tribe fell silent.

"Notify the Intelligence Organization to uncover results as soon as possible. Also, warn all elders to be a bit cautious to avoid becoming the next targets."

After a long time of deep thought, the leader of the Reincarnation Tribe could only temporarily give up.

…

On the other side, after successfully robbing the treasure vault, Yi Chen practiced in his flying treasure.

The Shadow King and his companions excitedly counted the spoils of their mission.

The results filled them with delight.

Among the treasures obtained from the elder of the Reincarnation Tribe and the treasure vault, there were several materials suitable for refining the Sixth Generation Cave Paradise.

They also gathered over a hundred powerful treasures.

Indeed, these treasures belonged to an elder of the Reincarnation Tribe.

Yi Chen, however, did not rush to find a second target.

The raid on the treasure vault had already exposed their actions, and the Reincarnation Tribe would certainly be on guard.

After all, they had silently passed through layers of barriers and guards, directly infiltrating the elder’s defenses and quieting him without a sound.

In such a situation, no matter how confident the elders of the Reincarnation Tribe were, they would undeniably feel some apprehension and maintain enough vigilance.

Moving to find a second target now would reduce the success rate somewhat.

Of course, it only decreased slightly.

But cautiousness came first.

Striking again after some time would increase the likelihood of success.

The reason was not so much that the elders would relax their guard but that Yi Chen’s realm could improve.

With each small realm he advanced, his strength would experience a significant boost.

Time was not a concern for top geniuses, even with the tenfold time flow benefit of the Fifth Generation Cave Paradise; entering the Sixth Generation Cave Paradise would still require ample time, so there was no rush.

A month and a half later, Yi Chen successfully broke through to level 222 and began to study the second target.

At almost the same time, teams from the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe were just infiltrating the central area of the Tree Star Cluster.

However, they could not delve any deeper.

According to reports from the high-ranking leaders of the intelligence organization lurking in the Tree Star Cluster, the star system where the human federation resided was heavily guarded. Should they enter, they would certainly be discovered.

After several attempts, the results matched their deductions.

As soon as they entered the star system of the human federation, they were immediately detected by a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

What followed was a massive hunt and search by numerous powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

The secret operations of the two dominant races fell into a stalemate.

On the other hand, the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was already preparing for a new round of attacks after completing their recovery.

This led the strong team from the Reincarnation Tribe and the Time Tribe to think of a safer method.

…

On the planet Taiyu, in an underground palace, the sixth elder of the Reincarnation Tribe, while cultivating, spread his Perception Ability to the maximum, monitoring the entire planet and even the surrounding star field for any movements.

His defensive shield was also activated to its highest level.

This approach obviously affected his cultivation to some extent.

However, to ensure his safety, he had no choice but to take this precaution.

Even after a month and a half, if this strange assassination team was still intent on targeting the elders of the Reincarnation Tribe, they would likely begin with the lowest-ranked elder.

He ranked one hundred sixth, making him seemingly very safe.

But his life was only one, and being careless could lead to disastrous consequences; he had to proceed with caution.

This line of thinking was undoubtedly correct.

Unfortunately for him, his luck was quite poor as he had been chosen by Yi Chen as the second target.

"Such caution!"

After taking on the guise of the Reincarnation Tribe, Yi Chen passed through the spatial rift to planet Taiyu, and with his powerful divine consciousness, he sensed an incredibly strong yet faint Perception Ability monitoring the entire planet.

Without a doubt, his every move was within the perception range of this Reincarnation Tribe elder.
