Cuilang Planet

As a major star sector surrounding the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, the Cuilang Star Sector served as a hub for internal and external exchanges.

And as the imperial star, Cuilang Star was even more bustling, with an endless stream of spacecraft coming and going!

In the most prosperous district of Cuilang Star, the Empire Building stood as the face of the Cuilang Empire, always a symbol of wealth.

Three years ago, it was said that a subsidiary company of the Virtual Universe Company had audaciously leased two entire floors, causing a stir locally at the time.

Back then, many big shots scrambled to visit, seeking potential opportunities for cooperation, and only recently had things gradually quieted down.

In a modest office, Chen Qing and Brother Hong sat quietly below, while Red Rock stood at the front, speaking eloquently and detailing the assets of the eighteen directors.

Under the soft lighting, her curvaceous figure was accentuated.

Chen Qing's expression was stiff, his eyes vacant, and the jade hand at his waist never stopped moving.

What did I do wrong? I have no idea why this woman is here! No, what does her being here have to do with me?

"Based on the current distribution of mineral deposits, it mainly involves nearly a thousand life planets, three directors, and dozens of Domain Lords!

And that's not even considering the other directors. More importantly, Panxi is at least World Lord Tier Three, long-term cultivating in seclusion within the Bain Asteroid Belt. His specific methods are unknown!"

After speaking, her pink eyes fixed on Chen Qing, like a helpless kitten.

Although he trusted the elder's judgment, so far, aside from administrative staff, there wasn't a single trace of a powerhouse!

Hiss, hold it in! Chen Qing coughed twice helplessly before standing up.

"These seventy years, do as you please. Teach these scoundrels a lesson, and just be careful yourselves.

As for the Field Family, follow the company's arrangements. I won't let your people be cannon fodder, but keep an eye on the movements of the Fire Phoenix members, especially when they're transporting good goods."

After saying this, Chen Qing carefully sat back down, paying no further attention to the bewildered Red Rock.

"So, you really weren't doing it for a pretty face? It wouldn't hurt to have another sister, you know!"

After sending off the anxious Red Rock, Yao Rao leaned on Chen Qing's shoulder with a tearful voice.

Chen Qing winced and coaxed, "On my honor, my only target is Panxi. It's not like I can be jealous of him!"

Yao Rao suddenly lifted her head, and there was no trace of grievance—only curiosity filled her eyes. "Really?"

Chen Qing quickly nodded, gently grasping the jade hand at his waist.

"As for the rest, I just think it's a waste. Besides, these people are all trash, so there's no moral burden."

"And you think we need you to worry about that?"

Jiang Fang felt both exasperated and amused. It hadn't been long, and this young man had already forgotten what era they had come from.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Si, how are you planning to handle this? One by one assassinations, or stir things up into chaos?"

Thor asked while examining a star map.

"Your sister-in-law said that once the administrative route is cleared, we need to move fast. Otherwise, if word leaks out, we might not be able to outrun the local vultures!"

"As for Panxi, assassination is the only way. One or two of the others are fine, but too many could be exploited and might harm the company's reputation."

Chen Qing tapped his finger on the table as he analyzed.

"An open confrontation could trigger a feeding frenzy, but who knows how much we'd actually grab.

If you can find some evidence, that would be good too. Let my sister-in-law leverage the Virtual Universe Company. Overall, let's quietly absorb things first."

"Alright, then we'll start with the slave planets. First, eliminate their minions and muddy the waters!"

Hong marked dozens of fringe slave planets on the map.

"We'll free some slaves and use their strength to fight back. That way, we can divert the enemy's forces!"

"If that's the case, we can choose Krachi as our first target," Jiang Fang looked up and suggested.

"Krachi often stays on Bes Planet. Among the other slave planets under his name, the strongest are only Universe Level Nine."

"We can also besiege the stronghold and ambush reinforcements, waiting at our ease!"

Yao Rao finished speaking and exchanged a knowing smile with Jiang Fang, as if returning to the days of their old hunts.

In the Bain Asteroid Belt, Chen Qing stopped several light-years away, quietly gazing at this desolate stretch of asteroids.

He had to admit, Panxi was incredibly lucky. Unfortunately, his heart was in the wrong place, and he suffered from a lack of vision.

He didn't even realize how useless it was to take in a bunch of underlings who couldn't even match him.

From Luo Feng's experience, it was clear that insight sometimes wasn't as direct as money, but it was far more important!

In the original story, the asteroid belt had a tight defense system. Chen Qing only deployed some detectors on the periphery to monitor potential passage points.

"Over these past few years on the road, I've grasped twelve essences of the Water Law. Thankfully, Luo Feng and his wife supported me with secret techniques."

Luo Feng's contribution points were precious, so Chen Qing didn't agree to exchange them for Universe Coins. Besides, he needed to prepare things for the next mission world.

In the end, together with Xu Xin, they pooled together over eight hundred Hunyuan to purchase a copy of the Green Water Secret Canon.

Though he didn't have the same kind of opportunities as Luo Feng, Chen Qing possessed a hundredfold gene base and an absurdly high affinity for the laws.

"Pity that energy accumulation takes time; otherwise, comprehending the laws at the World Lord level would be much faster."

As Chen Qing sank his mind inward, gazing at his Inner World spanning nearly a million kilometers and sensing the massive Green Lotus at its center, "So what if I have no opportunities? I am the greatest opportunity myself!"

Purple Mist Planet was a remote world on the outskirts of the star sector. The planet grew a type of Purple Fir tree, whose fruit was the main ingredient for Purple Light Dew.

The planet's natives had slender builds, and their violet eyes were highly sought after across the universe.

Thus, it was one of Krachi's more important farming and slave bases—so remote that even Bes Planet had to take a back seat.

"Big brother, the planet's defense system is strong, and they have little contact with the outside. We'll have to fight our way in!"

Thor sat on the sofa in the hall, wiping the long blade in his hands.

At the peak of the fifth stage, he had no fear of Universe Level opponents without a domain!

Hong stood quietly before the screen, watching the planet drifting with faint purple clouds.

How many years had it been since he last felt this way? Hong felt as if he had returned to the days before the Great Nirvana.

He took out his long spear, gently stroking its dark shaft. A flash of aura passed over him, then quickly dissipated into nothing.

"It's truly different now. The sky is vast, the sea wide. Embracing the past, the path ahead is endless!"

Hong's heart was at peace, his soul's fluctuations lively and harmonious. The world before him grew clearer.

"Second brother, once the ship's railgun breaks the defense system, you and Yao Rao charge first. I'll clear out the small fry!"

His deep voice resonated through the ship as Hong began issuing orders.

"You two be careful. Know your limits!"

"Yes, Master!"

Unlike Yao Rao's excitement, Jiang Fang's voice was much calmer, though she licked her dry lips.

As the ship's energy gathered, Purple Mist Planet's alarms began to blare. The defense system quickly raised an energy barrier.

But Hong's ship was a gift from the Time World Lord. As E5's main cannon lit up, a thick laser beam tore through the barrier, vaporizing the mechanical defenses!

Thor gripped his long blade with both hands and, with the two women, plunged like a sharp spear toward the planet. Below them lay Krachi's constructed palace.

Hong waved his hand, stowing the ship into his spatial storage, and followed slowly behind.
