"Dad, what is the Blood Spring Society?" Zuo Mu asked nervously. He was just a teenager with slightly thick nerves, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of anything.

The Blood Spring Society had sent so many powerhouses here alone, and their methods were brutal. They had ignored human life to the point of destroying an entire building; one could only imagine how terrifying they must be.

As for the young girl Eloy, she was currently distraught. Her slender, fair hands were gripping a primitive necklace embedded with a gray stone tightly against her chest. She bit her lip, her cold, beautiful eyes were slightly red, and her face was deathly pale.

She had likely seen that scene in the sky earlier and realized that her uncle had met with misfortune, but no one had the capacity to care about her feelings right now.

Everyone in the spaceship's control room had their attention fixed on the name "Blood Spring Society" that had just emerged.

Zuo De looked at Su Ke, his expression grave and filled with worry.

"The Blood Spring Society is a very powerful organization within the Feiluo Star System where our Moon River Planet is located. So powerful that... it is said the founder of the organization was a Domain Lord."

"A Domain Lord?"

It wasn't just Zuo Mu, Eloy, and the others; even Su Ke was stunned.

A Domain Lord powerhouse... what kind of concept was that?

Under normal development... a star system would produce one Universe Rank powerhouse! Of course, with guidance from a powerful mentor, the efficiency might be higher!

The emergence of a Domain Lord was far more difficult than that of a Universe Rank.

For instance, the master of the 'Purple Phoenix Planet', an important planet of the Jialan Empire, was a Domain Lord! Domain Lords were also capable of establishing elementary civilization nations and becoming founding emperors.

Other "elementary cosmic civilization empires" would not dare to provoke a Domain Lord! They were powerhouses who could carve out a region to rule as masters and receive recognition from the universe! If one were to say that Universe Rank powerhouses could destroy a planet, it would require repeated attacks.

But a Domain Lord? With just a single punch, the diffused attack hitting the ocean could trigger a massive flood, submerging the entire planet and causing a mass extinction! That was a Domain Lord! A super-existence capable of making elementary cosmic civilization empires tremble.

Such an existence could probably wipe out everyone on Moon River Planet with a wave of their hand.

"However, the Blood Spring Society was founded over 300,000 years ago. That powerhouse passed away more than 160,000 years ago because his lifespan reached its limit. After he fell, the Blood Spring Society began to decline rapidly, constantly shrinking its territory, and never produced another Domain Lord powerhouse," Zuo De sighed with emotion.

"So they were already dead people. You scared me," Zuo Mu's sisters, Zuo Lu and Zuo Na, patted their ample chests in unison, as if they shared a single mind. Of course, Zuo Mu was used to calling them Luna, as it was usually very difficult to tell them apart.

Su Ke also breathed a sigh of relief.

Human lifespans were as follows: Planetary Rank was a little over 1,000 years, Stellar Rank was one epoch (10,081 years), Universe Rank was 10 epochs, Domain Lord was 100 epochs, and World Lord was 1,000 epochs! Only by becoming an immortal powerhouse could one live forever.

It was fortunate that the Domain Lord had died of old age. If they had truly encountered a living Domain Lord powerhouse, how could they have resisted?

However, he had still been too impulsive. Stimulated by the fear of death, he had ordered the attack on those Blood Spring Society members just to vent that emotion.

He was still too young, not patient or cautious enough.

He should have investigated the other party's background before finding a way to secretly eliminate them.

Just as Su Ke was reflecting internally, Zuo De smiled bitterly: "Don't be too happy yet. Although the Blood Spring Society has no Domain Lord, it remains a behemoth. Relying on the legacy left by that Domain Lord, they have people in many star systems, including the Feiluo Star System, and have cultivated many powerhouses. Although the strongest are only Universe Rank and many have died of old age, the Blood Spring Society still has no fewer than ten Universe Rank powerhouses today. They control over 3,000 life planets, and only those at the Stellar Rank can join their Blood Spring Army. The elite 'Blood Spring Guard' within the army are all at the ninth level of the Stellar Rank! It is said there are three full ten-thousand-man regiments of Blood Spring Guards!"

"The Blood Spring Society has a vast territory. The Blood Spring Army is stationed at important strongholds, while less important ones are left to the large, medium, and small squads of their ordinary forces. Only the large squads have ninth-level Stellar Rank members."

Zuo De shook his head, sighing heavily.

He wouldn't blame Su Ke for implicating them; if not for Su Ke, his family would have already died in the previous disaster.

"This time, we have deeply offended the Blood Spring Society. We have no choice but to run for our lives. The best way is to leave Moon River Planet and find a place to hide where the Blood Spring Society cannot find us, or find a major power willing to protect us," Zuo De said in a deep voice.

Silence. The atmosphere in the spaceship's control room was oppressive. Hearing that the Blood Spring Society was so powerful, everyone couldn't help but feel worried.

Two streams of light streaked across the sky, one following the other.

"How is her speed so fast?" The burly dwarf, fleeing frantically, saw the woman chasing from behind at an astonishing speed, his face changing drastically.

In fact, the reason Su Ke had purchased Lyumila in the first place was because she was "skilled at flying," faster than the average Psychic Master of the same rank!

Coupled with the second-grade top-tier psychic weapon she had obtained! This was a second-grade top-tier weapon! Ordinary ninth-level Stellar Rankers didn't have one; even the burly dwarf, as an eighth-level Stellar Rank martial artist, only had a first-grade source energy weapon.

With this, being a ninth-level Stellar Rank Psychic Master who was already skilled at flying, and then assisted by a psychic weapon... Lyumila's speed was like a tiger gaining wings.

Swish! The stream of light caught up in the blink of an eye, and streaks of silver light erupted! The power was astonishing!

"Our organization will not let you go!" the burly dwarf roared ferociously, swinging his axe in a futile, desperate defense. Of course, it was useless. A stream of light with a strange arc suddenly emerged, shooting directly into the back of his head and out the front, leaving a trail of blood.

Before the Domain Lord level, every human's consciousness resided in the sea of consciousness within the head, so destroying the head meant certain death!

On the other side, Khair was hunting down the seventh-level Stellar Rank Psychic Master. After a brief exchange, he successfully killed him.

It shouldn't have been this smooth; that seventh-level Stellar Rank Psychic Master had some skill, and an average ninth-level Stellar Rank martial artist might not have been able to kill him in such a short time. However, like Lyumila, Khair was equipped with a second-grade top-tier source energy weapon and a source energy combat suit. With his power erupting, he killed his target without much effort.

On the other side, the eighth-level Stellar Rank Psychic Master who went to hunt had a slight accident. He successfully killed one sixth-level Stellar Rank martial artist, but when he went to hunt another, he found that the target had been taken away by a spaceship descending from the sky.

As for the other Stellar Rank members of the Blood Spring Society, they had already fled far away, or even taken advantage of the chaos to hide in hidden corners and the dark parts of the city; finding them was almost impossible.

The ones who died the most were the Planetary Rank members of the Blood Spring Society. Under the frantic pursuit of the guard team led by the eight first-level Stellar Rankers under Su Ke, over eighty percent were killed!

Subjected to the enemy's desperate counterattacks, the guard team also suffered some casualties.

The destruction caused by their battle turned many parts of the city into ruins.

On this day, the entire Moon River Planet was shaken!

The high-level officials of Moon River Planet were not dead; they had long since discovered the battle in Qichuan City, but when they saw the situation clearly, no one dared to act rashly.

On one side was the notorious star system hegemon, the Blood Spring Society, and on the other side was someone who dared to hunt down even the Blood Spring Society!

How could they possibly handle this?

The planetary defense system of Moon River Planet was not strong; it was only capable of dealing with average space pirates, and even slightly more cautious, formidable pirates would only dare to rob starships, never daring to openly invade a planet belonging to an empire.

The strongest individual on the planet was merely at the Stellar Rank 4.

Truth be told, they were just a group of weak, pitiful, and helpless planetary officials; how could they dare to intervene in a conflict of this level, nor did they possess the capability to do so.

Therefore, aside from reporting this heinous incident to the galactic management immediately, they could only stare blankly, unable to do anything at all.
