Incoming Enemies

"Captain Aifu, the information on the Yuan Planet powerhouse 'Feng Yunruo' has been collected!"

After a long month, the intelligent lifeform Monad completed the data collection. At this moment, everyone on the spaceship was staring intently at the main control screen, not even daring to breathe, fearing they might hear some terrible news!

"Monad, go ahead." Captain Aifu, standing to the side, was unusually tense; he was afraid, too. A top-tier genius from three thousand years ago—it was impossible to imagine what level of growth he might have reached by now!

"The collected information shows that after 'Feng Yunruo' comprehended the laws, he established a centralized state on this planet called the 'Feng Kingdom'. Afterward, he vanished and never appeared again. Preliminary calculations suggest a 90% probability that he entered the universe, an 8% probability that he was assassinated, and a 2% probability for other outcomes."

The intelligent lifeform recited the intelligence without any fluctuation, listing the analyzed probabilities one by one.

Hearing Monad's analysis, Captain Aifu let out a sigh of relief. Although there was a super genius on this planet, it seemed he had long since headed into the universe. This ensured that, for now, his group was at least not in any immediate mortal danger.

After Captain Aifu pondered for about half an hour, his greed for this ownerless life planet ultimately suppressed his wariness of the genius.

"Hmph, at worst, I'll just flip this planet and sell it for cash. The universe is so vast; even if he really comes back, could he possibly find a single adventurer like me? Heh, and that's assuming the worst-case scenario! A genius? Before they truly convert their talent into strength, they are nothing!"

Aifu said with a hint of ruthlessness. In his view, fearing a genius who had disappeared to who knows where—or who might even be dead—was undoubtedly a foolish thing to do. Once they crushed the natives on this planet, they would simply notify a slave trader and sell the planet off. By then, even if this genius really did return, so what? Could he find him in the vastness of the universe?

Thinking this, he made up his mind to act. Immediately, Aifu called for his crew member Tuka. Tuka was the second-in-command of this adventure team, with strength second only to Captain Aifu, and was a Star-level 9 adventurer!

"Lead the team and round up all the Star-level powerhouses on this planet! But don't make a scene and expose our identities, understand?" Aifu ordered Tuka, deep in thought.

Tuka nodded in acknowledgment of Aifu's order, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart. He said to the crew members behind him with a look of fervor:

"First squad, move out with me!" He then turned and was the first to fly out of the spaceship.

Hearing Tuka's command, five more Star-level crew members immediately flew out from the ship to follow him.

The group of six Star-level powerhouses, under the guidance of the intelligent lifeform Monad, flew toward the capital of the Feng Kingdom—Anping City!

The spaceship hovered about three thousand meters above the Lu Family mansion.

"Civilization is truly backward; our ship is parked right here, yet they can't detect us at all," the bald man in black battle armor said smugly.

"One of the three strongest Star-levels is here, right? Hmph, Star-levels are barely enough to scrape by in the universe," the silver-armored warrior sneered. He was one of the six Star-levels in the first squad and the second strongest in the group.

The two of them were a pair specifically assigned by the squad to capture this lone Star-level at the Lu mansion, while the remaining four charged directly toward the royal palace.

The silver-armored warrior, Bulo, looked down through the external virtual display, feeling quite high-spirited, and laughed: "Everyone, after this job on Yuan Planet, we'll be rich. Let's go... and make contact with the Star-level native down there. Let this native powerhouse understand what a true expert in the universe is!"

"Hahaha..."

"Let's have some fun with these natives."

"Haha." Both of them were very smug.

When facing native planets that hadn't integrated into the universe, they naturally felt a sense of "superiority." They considered themselves civilized people, while those before them were merely native humans. And when a group of self-proclaimed civilized demons possessed powerful strength, what would happen was already destined!

"Little Lu, your first trial has arrived," Lord Shen said to Lu Yan'an from his shoulder.

At this moment, Lu Yan'an, who was in the middle of mental meditation in his room, was startled by Lord Shen's words and quickly walked out of the room. The moment he left the room, three bursts of power erupted from the back of the Lu mansion! He cursed inwardly and sprinted toward the backyard.

In the backyard, Lu Zhong and his son Lu Kunwu were teaming up against a bald warrior in black battle armor, while a cold-faced warrior in silver battle armor stood to the side, watching the scene with cold eyes.

Seeing Lu Yan'an arrive, the silver-armored warrior's eyes lit up, and he gave the black-clad warrior a look. The latter, receiving the signal, stopped playing around and casually struck back, sending Lu Zhong flying. Lu Zhong took two heavy steps back to dissipate the force, barely managing to stand. At this moment, the bald man in black used his legs to propel himself instantly in front of Lu Kunwu, throwing a punch at his face. Lu Kunwu, unable to parry, could only shield his head with his hands, intending to take the punch head-on!

Lu Yan'an lunged forward, blocking the punch for his older brother. Feeling the power behind it, a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes; if this blow had actually landed on his brother, his brother's Planet-level 9 physique would have been at least severely injured!

The black-clad warrior didn't linger; seeing his attack blocked by Lu Yan'an, he quickly withdrew and returned to the side of the silver-clad warrior.

The two slowly floated into the air, looking down at the scene below. The leading silver-clad warrior said slowly, "From now on, you are all slaves to me, Bulo, a powerhouse from the universe." That deep voice echoed throughout the entire Lu Family, and the arrogance of his words made even Lu Yan'an roll his eyes.

In mid-air, Bulo lifted his chin slightly, appearing high and mighty, looking at the three natives below with pity. He had completely forgotten Aifu's order to keep a low profile.

Lu Yan'an also didn't understand what gave him such confidence; was it just the strength of one Star-level 8 and one Star-level 6?

Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. Lu Yan'an struck back with a "Huo Shen" technique.

The two uninvited guests on the field, seeing Lu Yan'an make a move, had their expressions change instantly. "He's actually a Star-level 9, I..." Before they could finish their sentence, both were instantly enveloped by the illusion and lost consciousness.

"Little Lu, let me reiterate a few things to you!" After the battle, Lord Shen flew down from Lu Yan'an's shoulder and said with a serious expression.

"This is a trial that belongs to your Yuan Planet, and I am the 'Guardian' left behind by your teacher, not your nanny! Do not expect me to step in and solve this problem for you; that is the first point. Your family must be protected by your own strength; that is the second point. Only when you encounter an irresistible force will that be the time for me to act."

Lord Shen was very blunt; it would not be responsible for anyone other than Lu Yan'an, even his friends and family. Lu Yan'an nodded with a heavy expression after hearing this, indicating he understood.

"However, I can tell you some intelligence now," Lord Shen said, nodding with satisfaction at Lu Yan'an's demeanor.

"This space adventure team is considered a relatively strong one. The captain is a Universe-level 9 warrior. Aside from him, among the other fourteen people, only two are Planet-level 9 crew members; the rest are all Star-level. Their goal is to destroy all Star-level combat power on your planet!"

Ever since this team arrived, Lord Shen had already figured out their background. It was just that they still had some utility, so Lord Shen hadn't bothered with them.

"What you need to think about now is how to break this deadlock!"

Lu Yan'an understood that solving this problem might be possible on his own, but he feared the opponent would unreasonably call for reinforcements. Moreover, according to universal law, Yuan Planet currently had no lord, so there was no way to curb the forces behind the adventure team through such channels. Thinking of this, he began to get a headache.

"Sigh, I can only take it one step at a time," Lu Yan'an said helplessly. Even with his experience in solving thousands of life's dilemmas, he couldn't find a way to resolve the trouble without leaving any future repercussions.

At the same time, it was clear just how notorious these space criminals—who called themselves adventurers but were actually invaders—were throughout the entire universe!
