  • Qu Jianlei kept the Grandchild Nest on course, and the passing Secondary Nest attacked it for failing to yield.
  • Yi He posed as a Chixi Tribe envoy, but Qu Jianlei's group stormed the Secondary Nest and defeated its defenders with mental attacks and Jing Yuexin's Soul Suppressing Bell.

Later, four Sub-Nests surrounded their Grandchild Nest, and Qu Jianlei chose to evade them while claiming to carry a message from the royal clan.

  • Jiao Daoren explained that the spirit stone mine in the Nebula was likely an abnormal, short-lived poor mine, and Qu Jianlei’s group agreed to delay investigating it.

Ch. 1786So That Was It

Qu Jianlei and his team used their nests and apparent Great Venerable-level abilities to rout a group of Asura bandits and capture their Sub-Nests. After learning the captives were bandits who had mistaken them for powerful Asuras, the team discovered why the prisoners had refused to cooperate: they recognized their captors as the Alien Race.

  • Paranoid claimed the Grandchild Nest belonged to the Royal Clan, but the Asura bandits dismissed the claim until a Secondary Nest and several Outpost Nests appeared from storage space.

Ch. 1787Control Method

  • Qu Jianlei learned that the defeated bandits had stronger backers but no hidden reinforcements, then focused on repairing their least damaged Sub-Nest.
  • A veteran Six-Armed Asura identified the team’s Secondary Nest as belonging to the Gangzhui Tribe, and Yi He searched his soul for useful information.

After discovering a community of Tiger-Head Humans and learning Rockback was backed by formidable forces, Qu Jianlei sent Blood Hammer and three other Asuras to gather information.

  • Jiao Daoren decided to handle the matter himself after Qu Jianlei refused to take on karma and Paranoid offered to learn instead.
