Sudden Turmoil

Late at night, a fierce wind howled. In the core region of the World of Worlds, amidst the allied forces, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen exchanged glances, a faint smile on each of their faces. “Let’s go,” Luo Feng whispered. The five-person squad quickly stood up, then casually walked towards the outermost perimeter of the allied forces. Entering the allied forces’ interior was difficult, requiring identity verification! Those not belonging to major powers were forbidden entry, but leaving was easy. After all, various organizations and powers frequently sent people to exchange Leiting Shi. Indeed, many people were constantly moving in and out. “Captain, those five are leaving.” “Follow them quickly.” “Hurry.” “Everyone, speed up.” A squad under His Highness, the Ninth Prince, Buluolin, which had been arranged long ago, also moved swiftly. It should be known that the Ninth Prince now commanded over 220,000 troops, with each of the seven brigades consisting of 30,000 people. And a so-called ‘squad’ was a thousand-person unit! For instance, patrols and alerts were also conducted by thousand-person squads rotating shifts. ... In the fierce wind of the late night, Luo Feng and his four companions soared into the sky, flying away from the allied forces’ encampment. Behind Luo Feng’s group of five, a thousand-person squad immediately took to the air, closely pursuing them. “Don’t rush to attack, everyone. This area is close to the allied forces’ encampment. If they escape back inside, we won’t be able to make a move.” “Just follow for now. We’ll act after they’ve flown a certain distance.” The captain of the thousand-person squad behind them transmitted his orders in a low voice to his subordinates. ... In mid-air ahead, Luo Feng’s five-person squad. “Haha, what a thrill, what a thrill,” Lei Shen transmitted, chuckling triumphantly from high in the sky. “Just thinking about the Life Fruit and the two Realm Lord weapons, I can barely contain my excitement.” “When we first came, I was worried about issues with the exchange,” Hong said with a slight smile. “But it seems everything went smoothly.” “Big Brother, Second Brother, once Moyun Teng evolves, we’ll have even more fun,” Luo Feng chuckled, his heart filled with anticipation. Previously, when digging for Leiting Shi, they had only managed to unearth so much because Babata had scouted ahead. But once the 2 million adventurer army occupied various locations and dug up all the Leiting Shi... the darkest and most brutal period of slaughter was about to begin! Luo Feng was absolutely certain of this. Some Realm Lords’ subordinates had exchanged for treasures, while others hadn’t... Those ‘Realm Lords’ who hadn’t acquired treasures would naturally order their subordinates to kill and seize them! In the eyes of those Realm Lords, even sacrificing ten thousand adventurers under their command was nothing. “Huh? What’s going on? There’s a squad following us,” Luo Feng transmitted, frowning. “Indeed there is,” Lei Shen frowned. “Are they tracking us, or just heading out to compete for Leiting Shi and happening to be going our way?” Hong asked. “Let’s accelerate and turn,” Luo Feng transmitted. “Yes, Master!” Tienan River and Aogu both obeyed Luo Feng’s command. Immediately, the five-person squad arced through the air, rapidly accelerating and transforming into five streaks of light, flying towards the left. Among the thousand-person squad behind them. “Captain, they’re trying to escape!” “We’re already several hundred kilometers from the allied forces’ encampment. All squad members, heed my order: pursue the five-person squad ahead at maximum speed and kill them,” the captain commanded. “Yes!” “Yes!” “Understood!” In the darkness, the Ninth-tier Star-level squad members, clad in black alloy combat armor, acknowledged the order, then each erupted with astonishing speed. They transformed into streaks of light, exceptionally conspicuous in the night, like hundreds of meteors, varying in speed, madly chasing after the five streaks of light ahead. ... The streaks of light from behind rapidly closed in with astonishing speed. These were Ninth-tier Star-level Spirit Readers, wielding psychic weapons, and they were much faster than Luo Feng’s group! Among Luo Feng’s squad, perhaps only the Ninth-tier Star-level Aogu could match their speed, but Aogu also had to carry Hong and Lei Shen. “This isn’t good.” “They’re catching up,” Lei Shen’s expression changed drastically. “Master, flee quickly,” Aogu’s aged face was filled with anxiety. Luo Feng glanced back. The streaks of light from behind closed in with astonishing speed, and almost instantly, the distance between them was less than a kilometer. “What do we do?” Lei Shen and Hong both showed anxious expressions. Tienan River and Aogu, the two Ninth-tier Star-level servants, also grew anxious. “There are a thousand Ninth-tier Star-level experts behind us,” Luo Feng muttered, looking down at the light dots on his arm-mounted screen, feeling an even deeper chill. The 1,000 light dots were approaching his five light dots at an alarming speed, seemingly about to engulf them. “Master!!!” Aogu and Tienan River looked at Luo Feng anxiously, while Lei Shen and Hong were also flustered. Luo Feng’s heart was even more chaotic. Since entering the Thunder World and the World of Worlds, their squad had faced crises repeatedly, but they had never encountered such a desperate situation. A full 1,000 Ninth-tier Star-level experts—a collective psychic weapon attack would likely be the end of Luo Feng and his companions. Could it be... Should he use the Golden Horned Beast? But they weren’t too far from the allied forces. If the Golden Horned Beast appeared, it would definitely be exposed in this situation! Once the existence of the Golden Horned Beast cub was revealed... even Immortal beings might descend upon Canglan Star to seize Luo Feng, the Golden Horned Beast cub, and turn him into a slave. Beast taming, soul imprints for slaves, and similar methods were not exclusive to the Yunmo Star Master in the vast universe! At that point, Luo Feng was destined... to become someone else’s slave. “Annihilate them!” the captain ordered. “Yes!” hundreds of figures behind them responded in unison. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Overwhelming and dense, a massive number of psychic weapons tore through the air, striking like a rain of arrows towards Luo Feng’s group. At this moment, Hong, Lei Shen, Tienan River, and Aogu all felt a sense of despair. “Out!” Luo Feng stared intently at the torrent of arrows ahead. Boom! Out of thin air, a colossal object appeared in front of Luo Feng’s group of five. A series of impacts could be heard, but the behemoth remained motionless. It was a saucer-shaped spaceship, about 100 meters in diameter, entirely black, and classified as a ‘C9’ grade. Even Universe-level Fifth or Sixth-tier powerhouses would find it difficult to destroy this spaceship. In the universe, one might need a spaceship at any time. Although there was one docked at Canglan Star’s Docking Bay, for Luo Feng, who had received his teacher’s first account, buying a few spaceships was easy. “A spaceship!” “He actually has a spaceship with him! He must possess a top-grade spatial storage item over a hundred meters in length and width!” “Quick, kill them.” After their first wave of psychic weapon attacks failed, the hundreds of Ninth-tier Star-level Spirit Readers immediately willed their psychic weapons to curve, lightning-fast, around the spaceship and strike at Luo Feng’s group of five. “Master, hurry!” “Flee quickly.” Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen rapidly rushed towards the spaceship’s hatch. Fortunately, when Luo Feng summoned the spaceship, the hatch was facing their side. However, their flying speed was far slower than the psychic weapons’ speed! Luckily, Luo Feng and his companions were closer to the hatch. “Hurry!” “Hurry!” Hong and Lei Shen’s eyes were bloodshot. “Get inside,” Luo Feng’s eyes were also bloodshot. Aogu and Tienan River covered their retreat. The hundreds of psychic weapons arced, shooting towards them like a dense rain of arrows. Standing at the very front was the Ninth-tier Star-level warrior, Tienan River, and behind Tienan River was the Ninth-tier Star-level Spirit Reader, Aogu. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! The arrow-like psychic weapons instantly pierced Tienan River, riddling him like a sieve... Facing the instantaneous siege of hundreds of psychic weapons from equally powerful experts, even a ‘Ninth-tier Star-level’ warrior, even one who had earned the title of Giant Axe Warrior, would surely die! “Boom!” “Boom!” The outer hatch and inner airlock closed one after another, sealing them off from the outside. Whoosh! The spaceship suddenly accelerated, leaving the group of Ninth-tier Star-level experts far behind, and quickly vanished without a trace. ... A dense crowd of a thousand figures hovered in the air, gazing helplessly at the point where the spaceship had vanished. “A thousand people trying to kill five, and you let them escape?” the bearded captain roared angrily. “How are we going to explain this to His Highness?” “Captain, it’s not our fault. Who knew they had a spaceship!” “Exactly. A spaceship needs to be at least a hundred meters in diameter. It’s incredible that one of them has a spatial ring with such a massive capacity.” “Hmm.” The captain nodded slightly. “Such a large spatial ring is indeed a bit unbelievable.” ... The spaceship was rapidly moving away from the core region; its speed was hundreds, even thousands, of times faster than a person’s flight speed. Inside the spaceship. “Quick, Aogu, quickly absorb the life energy from this Muya Jing,” Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen anxiously surrounded Aogu. Aogu’s alloy combat armor had long since disintegrated; his body from the chest down had turned into a pulpy mess, with only his upper torso remaining intact. Moments ago, hundreds of psychic weapons had converged and struck. Tienan River, who was at the very front, was instantly riddled like a sieve and exploded into a pulpy mess, utterly dead. Aogu, standing behind Tienan River, barely managed to protect his head with the ‘Crimson Mixed Copper Fragment.’ As for his body from the chest down, it was shattered by the powerful impact of psychic weapons repeatedly striking his combat armor. “Whoosh, whoosh~~” Streams of life energy permeated Aogu’s body. Aogu gradually recovered. “Bastards!” Luo Feng exclaimed, seeing this, waves of anger surged through his chest. “Babata, whose people were those?” “The allied forces’ nearly 200,000 troops have their appearances and data recorded. These 1,000 people are subordinates of the Ninth Prince, Buluolin,” Babata said. When Luo Feng first entered the allied forces and moved around, Babata had naturally recorded some basic information about everyone there, such as their aura, appearance, strength, and so on. “Buluolin?” Luo Feng frowned, his anger intensifying. “Why is he chasing me? I have no grievances with him.” “Probably for the treasures,” Babata replied. “How did he know I exchanged for treasures? People frequently enter the Thunder Dojo,” Luo Feng felt incredibly distressed, especially since this time, one bodyguard, Tienan River, had died, and Aogu had nearly perished. Though they were merely purchased slaves, Luo Feng’s ears still faintly echoed with their desperate cries of “Master, flee quickly!” In that moment of danger, both Tienan River and Aogu had covered their retreat, using their lives to block the attack. “Buluolin, Buluolin!!!” Luo Feng’s heart burned with unbearable rage. It hurt deeply! “Luo Feng, stop agonizing for now. Although you didn’t use the Golden Horned Beast, you used a spaceship, and that brings its own massive trouble,” Babata said. “A colossal spatial storage item over a hundred meters in length and width is incredibly precious. When I first gave it to you, I warned you never to reveal it. Because even Domain Lords rarely possess spatial storage items of this caliber. And after this battle, Buluolin will pay close attention to you. If he pays attention to you, you’ll be in deep trouble.” “Pay attention to me? I’ll pay attention to him too!” Luo Feng growled.
