#124 - Fleet returns
Sky Castle, third-floor conference hall.
Just a few minutes after Yang Wu issued the order to Hong Ling, Luo Feng and his companions rushed over, their first words being:
"Has Earth been exposed?"
"Yes and no!"
Yang Wu gave a vague answer.
The fact that Earth is ruled by an undying powerhouse is not a secret among the various forces of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. They even know the coordinates of Earth.
"Our Earth hasn't been exposed, but it's almost as good as. A wormhole has appeared in the Milky Way, and it will only take two years and eight months for a spaceship to reach here at sub-light speed."
Yang Wu poured them each a cup of tea, signaling them to calm down.
"Oh, a wormhole?"
Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen exchanged glances, all breathing a sigh of relief.
After learning about the intrusion of cosmic adventurers, they didn't even have time to read the follow-up information sent by Yang Wu before rushing over.
Within a thousand light-years around Earth, the space coordinates have been concealed by Hu Yanbo using spatial secret techniques. Other forces simply cannot traverse the dark universe to reach this empty area.
To reach Earth, one can only travel at the speed of light for thousands of years in this empty area.
Only a wormhole, this kind of irregular existence, can allow a spaceship to suddenly enter this star field.
"Scared me to death. I thought the spatial secret technique had failed and Earth had been invaded by some large force."
Lei Shen patted his chest with lingering fear, picking up a cup of tea from the table and gulping it down.
Luo Feng and Hong also drank tea to calm their nerves. "Luo Feng, where's Babata?"
Yang Wu was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Luo Feng shouldn't be so anxious. Hong and Lei Shen might not know, but Babata should know about this.
Luo Feng smiled awkwardly. Because of Yang Wu's intervention, Luo Feng and the others spent more time on cultivation.
After formulating a series of cultivation plans for Luo Feng, Babata immersed himself in his virtual game world.
He also told Luo Feng not to disturb him unless necessary.
This time, in the moment of emergency, Luo Feng subconsciously ignored Babata and rushed to Sky Castle in a flurry.
"This Nolan Mountain family..."
In the reception room, Luo Feng and the others held the information, examining the Nolan Mountain family's details.
With Earth's current strength, a fleet of hundreds of cosmic-level slaves is naturally not a threat to the Nolan Mountain family.
But they still attach great importance to Nolan Mountain himself.
This person is not only the founder of the Nolan Mountain family but also a Giant Axe Warrior of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena.
Giant Axe Warriors are elite titles of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, one of the five giants, earned after experiencing thousands of life-and-death battles.
Each life-and-death duel can only have one survivor on the arena.
That is to say...
At least over a thousand cosmic-level powerhouses have died at the hands of Nolan Mountain. He is a true cosmic-level strongest warrior.
"There's no need to worry about the Nolan Mountain family. I have my own way to make them retreat. Let's talk about the auction a few days later."
"Auction?"
Luo Feng knew a little about it. Babata had told him, but Hong and Lei Shen looked blank.
Because Yang Wu and Luo Feng, two rising stars, had rapidly increased their strength, putting great pressure on them, coupled with the upcoming genius battle.
Under this enormous pressure, both of them were putting all their energy into cultivation, spending most of their time cultivating.
They rarely paid attention to those important events in the universe!
"Yes, Ganwu Auction."
Yang Wu patiently gave them a brief introduction and projected the invitation letter issued by the Virtual Universe Company.
"You all prepare yourselves. It's in a few days."
The invitation issued by the Virtual Universe Company was for Hu Yanbo's five-star account, and this account is temporarily managed by Yang Wu.
Although Luo Feng's Earthling clone had successfully advanced to the Star level, to be honest, he no longer cared about the 1 million Ganwu coins in that first account.
So, until now, Luo Feng had not gone to the Cosmic Star River Bank to withdraw money and take over this five-star account.
Five-star customers are just the threshold for high-level auctions, but they are genuine VIP customers at primary auctions.
VIPs naturally have privileges.
Private rooms, number of people allowed to bring, no need to queue...
Yang Wu wanted to transfer one or two hundred Chaos Units to each of Luo Feng's bank accounts, upgrading them to three-star customers, so they could attend the auction themselves.
Unfortunately, apart from Yang Wu himself and Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen had not opened their own bank accounts. Moreover, there was not much time left before the auction, and there was not enough time to open bank accounts. The Virtual Universe Company was unlikely to issue invitation letters again. Without invitation letters, it was impossible to enter the Milky Way auction.
Silent, vast starry sky, not far from Earth...
Two long, flat gray warships were turning into two blurry streamers, rapidly flying in the starry sky, one in front of the other.
Inside the command room of the leading warship.
"What's going on?"
On the seat in front of the console, a handsome young man with slightly pointed ears and a hint of red in his eyes was frowning as he asked.
"This is the tenth time. Why can't we connect?"
"According to the time, they should have arrived at the target life planet by now," a dark-skinned man beside him nodded.
"We sent an invitation to talk, but he didn't answer. Is there a problem?"
"Hmph, what problem could there be?"
Another handsome young man gritted his teeth and said, "That Bro must be doing it on purpose. That guy has been looking down on us for a long time. This time, he made a great contribution and naturally doesn't want to share it with us."
"Pula, I think we are..."
As the handsome young man spoke, he gestured with his hand across his neck.
The handsome young man sitting in the middle, Pula, was the captain of this warship and also the commander of this family fleet.
He shook his head and said, "Don't mess around. The family's affairs are the most important thing right now."
"However, we can report this matter to the family!"
Pula immediately ordered the intelligence to notify the family.
Although he said he didn't care on the surface, he didn't want the adventurer team to take all the credit.
According to the patriarch, the planet once ruled by an invincible powerhouse might have a huge treasure. He should have a share in this great achievement.
"Captain, the family has sent an order."
The clear voice of the spaceship's intelligence came. Pula looked at the order from the family, and his eyes suddenly narrowed after seeing it clearly.
The family only sent two words.
"Retreat!"
A storm arose in Pula's heart. Two simple and clear orders, without even a single word of explanation.
Biting his teeth, Pula reluctantly issued the order.
"All ships, listen to the order, return the way we came!"
