Qu Jianlei and the others were currently on Lost Star, the outermost planet of the Tianpeng Star System.
But eight million kilometers from Lost Star was certainly still within the star system.
Qu Jianlei had previously deployed a large number of passive warning devices, and Xiao Hu had detected the space battle early on.
But in truth, once an intense space battle began, it was impossible to conceal in space.
Lost Star was plagued by sandstorms and had an extremely harsh climate. Otherwise, even an optical telescope could spot the battle.

Eight million kilometers sounded quite far on land, but in space, it was not much of a distance.
Especially since, apart from a few moons, there were no celestial bodies of any significant size within tens of millions of kilometers around Lost Star.
Before long, Gemini Star would detect a battle like this, and the military would naturally respond.
By then, whether the battle had ended or not, the military would definitely conduct a search of the surrounding area.
If it was over, they would hunt down those who had fled. If it was not, they would search for possible hidden bases.

During the Empire's major sweep some time ago, military starships had visited Lost Star several times and conducted searches.
Only after the military strengthened its surveillance of Lost Star did
