2286 Six Major Factions Of The Phantom Drift Territorial Domain! Various Movements! (2)
"Why?"
"You'll know when you get there. Bring along Shadow Nine and Shadow Eleven," the voice echoed once again from the depths of the Shadow Fortress.
The figure said nothing more, its gaze flickering thoughtfully.
Before long, an ancient warship emerged from the depths of the castle, leaving the hidden space and heading towards the direction of Five Burial Stars.
Simultaneously, representatives from Golden Peak City and Azure Sky Island, each accompanied by their prodigies, were also en route to Five Burial Stars.
In a particular region of the starry expanse, a massive fleet slowly advanced through the void like ethereal specters.
Suddenly, a ship separated from this fleet and soared directly towards Five Burial Stars.
If anyone were present, they would observe a red dragon emblem on each battleship of this fleet.
This fleet was none other than the Red Dragon Universe Pirates, one of the three major pirate groups.
In another desolate and scarcely visited starry region, a colossal fleet emerged.
They were engaged in besieging a terrifying universe behemoth!
The universe behemoth resembled a giant wolverine, massive yet emaciated. Coiled in the void, its monstrous tail swung, seizing a planet and hurling it mercilessly toward the distant fleet.
Boom!
A horrifying force emanated from one of the battleships, producing a tremendous roar. In an instant, the planet was shattered, reduced to countless cosmic particles that dispersed into the void.
Following that, a figure appeared atop the battleship, wielding a war blade. With a gentle swipe, the figure cleaved through the wolverine-like cosmic behemoth.
Boom!
Sweeping through the void, the blade left behind terrifying spatial rifts. Wherever it passed, space ruptured, giving birth to horrendous fissures with powerful suction forces emanating from them.
Roar!
The wolverine-like cosmic behemoth opened its massive jaws, emitting a roar that shook the cosmos. Its eyes glinted with ferocious and cunning light as its razor-sharp claws swung. A golden claw energy erupted from its sharp claws.
Boom!
The blade and the sharp claw energy clashed violently, causing a tidal wave of force that swept in all directions. The surrounding starry expanse couldn't withstand such a terrifying impact, instantly rupturing into countless explosions of light.
After the radiance dissipated, the formidable wolverine-like cosmic behemoth had vanished.
"Damn it! It escaped again!"
A furious roar echoed from the blade-wielding warrior.
A creature of such colossal proportions had silently disappeared, truly unexpected.
"Enough, She'er, don't bother with the star beast. Go to Five Burial Stars!" A voice resonated from within a massive ship at the center of the fleet.
"Go to Five Burial Stars?" The martial warrior was slightly stunned, questioning with surprise, "Boss, why go to Five Burial Stars? Those Black Skull guys are there. I may not fear them, but I don't want to deal with those disgusting guys."
"Something is amiss with Five Burial Stars. We need you to check it out," the voice calmly stated.
"Alright, since you're asking, She'er will go check it out." The blade-wielding figure reluctantly agreed.
"Take Zuo Gu with you. He'll accompany you," the voice instructed.
"Zuo Gu is going too?" She'er was even more surprised, scratching his chin and saying, "Looks like I'm just going to be a bystander."
Before long, a spacecraft flew out from the fleet and departed from this remote starry region.
…
Five Burial Stars.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the negotiations between Five Burial Stars and the Black Skull Universe Pirates were still ongoing.
Although the leaders of the five families had sensed the Black Skull Universe Pirates' intentions, they neither made it clear nor agreed to any demands. The two sides continued to engage in negotiations.
Even Wang Teng, after several days of interaction with them, had no clue about the real intentions of the leaders of the five families.
However, based on Wang Teng's interactions with them over the past few days, the family head wasn't the type to suffer losses. They seemed to be waiting for the opening of the ancestral land to make other arrangements.
In such an atmosphere, the day of the ancestral land opening finally arrived.
Wang Teng and others gathered and arrived at the ancestral land of the five major families.
Hengzang Mo, Guizang Yan, Yunzang Xiao, and the others also came.
Many talented warriors from the five major families followed behind Hengzang Mo and the others, appearing quite obedient.
Among them was the young girl from the Guizang Family, Guizang Zhu, who had previously been at the Five Burials Hotel.
She stood in the crowd, her eyes rolling around as if searching for something interesting. She seemed like a restless girl.
When she saw Wang Teng and others arriving, her eyes lit up. She wanted to approach, but Guizang Yan grabbed the collar of her clothes and pulled her back.
"Brother Guizang Yan, what are you doing?" Guizang Zhu turned her head, looking at Guizang Yan with a pitiful expression, and asked.
"No, you can't go!" Guizang Yan said indifferently.
"Why?" Guizang Zhu struggled a bit and asked defiantly.
"The old man told me to keep an eye on you. You can only follow me," Guizang Yan said.
"We're not furthermore inside the ancestral land yet, and there's no danger," Guizang Zhu said.
"From now on, you must obey my orders to prevent you from running wild when you enter the ancestral land," Guizang Yan said.
"I heard that Sister Caiyun seems to be ignoring you these days and has been following Han Zhu. They even live together. Are you jealous?" Guizang Zhu seemed to think of something and stated teasingly.
"Don't think I won't dare to hit you." Guizang Yan said with a stiff expression.
"Tsk! Why hit me?" Guizang Zhu pursed her lips and said, "Alright! Alright! I won't go over. Put me down."
Guizang Yan glanced at her, released his grip, and she almost stumbled, earning him an eye roll from the young girl.
"By the way, Brother Guizang Yan, do you want me to go over and help you say a few good words, maybe smooth things over for you? After all, Han Zhu is just an outsider. You've had such a deep friendship for many years. Maybe if I speak up, Sister Caiyun will come to her senses." In no time, Guizang Yan approached again and secretly transmitted her voice.
"Do you have a way?" Guizang Yan inquired skeptically.
"Of course, I'm also a woman. I understand women the best," Guizang Zhu said, patting her chest.
"Cough!" Guizang Yan cleared his throat and said earnestly, "Forget it, if you want to go, just go. I won't stop you. But after venturing into the ancestral land, you must return to my side."
"Okay! I promise to listen to you." Guizang Yan grinned, then turned and ran towards Yizang Xinnuo and the others. She muttered, "Poor Brother Guizang Yan, how can childhood sweethearts withstand the allure of the sudden appearance of a handsome young man? Besides, you're not really childhood sweethearts!"
Although she thought so, she still planned to help Guizang Yan. After all, he was her big brother, and she couldn't help outsiders.
Moreover, she had a good relationship with Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun, so she naturally hoped that Guizang Yan could marry one of them.
"Sister Xinnuo, Sister Caiyun!" Guizang Zhu ran to Yizang Xinnuo and the others and called out affectionately while thinking about what to do.
"What were you talking about with Guizang Yan just now?" Shouzang Caiyun rubbed her head and asked.
"N-nothing?" Guizang Zhu hurriedly put on a harmless expression and denied it.
"Entering the ancestral land is dangerous so be careful. It's best to stay close to us." Shouzang Caiyun didn't care too much and advised her.
"Okay, okay!" Gui Zangzhu nodded repeatedly. "I'm most afraid of death. I'll definitely stick with you and not run around."
"You little troublemaker." Shouzang Caiyun sighed with a smile.
"Is this Brother Han Zhu?" Guizang Zhu chuckled, her gaze falling on Wang Teng, asking.
"Brother Han is an esteemed guest of our five families. This time, he will enter the ancestral land with us," Yizang Xinnuo explained softly.
"Brother Han is additionally going into the ancestral land?" Guizang Zhu was stunned.
"Yes, this was arranged by the several family heads. Inside the ancestral land, he will assist us," Yizang Xinnuo said.
