Machine Race Spaceship

In a certain conflict zone...

"If only we could dismantle the sensors on the Linkong," Chen Beixun muttered, feeling stifled. He stood atop his Gold Cloud Shuttle, hurtling forward like a streak of golden light.

"Do you think they're that easy to dismantle!" Qishan barked.

The Linkong was equipped with two sensors: one for long-range, wide-area detection, and one for high-precision, short-range scanning. After that great battle, the high-precision short-range sensor had been destroyed. The long-range sensor was too difficult to remove, so it had simply been left as is.

"Sigh~" Chen Beixun let out a breath with a smile on his face.

If I had a higher-grade sensor, this trip to the World Lord World would be much easier. As this thought flashed through his mind, his gaze fell on the projection on his arm. "Still 9,521 kilometers to go!"

The gravity within the World Lord World was immense; the closer one got to the World Castle, the stronger it became. At a certain point, it could easily crush a planetary ninth-stage practitioner to death.

I've already reached the vicinity of the World Castle, Chen Beixun thought to himself. An Changyan, you really are willing to spend money! You shelled out 9 Hunyuan just like that!

Why do I get the feeling her money just blew in on the wind?

With Chen Beixun as the center point, he was currently 620,000 kilometers away from the World Castle.

On a hillside, An Changyan paced back and forth. "Hurry up."

She had discovered a spaceship—a Machine Race Spaceship. It was 1,050 meters long and constructed entirely of E9-grade alloy.

Inside this Machine Race Spaceship were seventeen D7-grade metal guardians, all programmed with a specific protocol: in simple terms, if you didn't discover the ship, they wouldn't attack; once discovered, as long as you retreated a certain distance, the metal guardians would cease their assault.

These seventeen D7-grade metal guardians monitored a vast area and were incredibly troublesome, which was why An Changyan couldn't simply take the Machine Race Spaceship. Pavadode, unable to fight thirty-four hands with his two fists, had already been severely wounded.

"What kind of background does the World Lord who created this World Lord World have!" An Changyan frowned slightly, her beautiful face etched with worry.

An Changyan wanted to use Chen Beixun's Demon Island Vine to block the D7-grade metal guardians so she could seize the opportunity to take the Machine Race Spaceship. Of course, she hadn't revealed the existence of the Machine Race Spaceship, merely providing a simplified explanation of the situation.

At this moment, Chen Beixun was drawing ever closer to her position.

******

D7-grade metal guardians. Chen Beixun repeated the words in his mind, pondered for a moment, and thought, I should pay more attention to that guy.

The secrets within the World Lord World were far too numerous; how could Chen Beixun possibly know them all? He might have guessed there were treasures, but he never would have imagined it was a Machine Race Spaceship, and one made entirely of E9-grade alloy at that!

******

"Hm!" An Changyan's beautiful eyes lit up. "He's here!" She turned her head to look, a flash of excitement in her eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Beixun frowned slightly and sent a telepathic message: "Apologies for keeping Your Highness waiting so long!"

In his heart, however, he was thinking: Damn it, she isn't planning to kill me, is she?

After all, powerful families could easily obtain restrictive weapons, let alone someone like An Changyan, whose father, An Yanju, was an Immortal!

Chen Beixun quickly dismissed the thought.

"Hehe!" An Changyan chuckled softly. "It is of no matter."

"Follow me."

The two transformed into streams of light and flew away.

The 17 D7-grade metal guardians hovered in the air, keeping watch over their surroundings.

Both of them approached stealthily, and then An Changyan darted out, drawing the D7-grade metal guardians out.

"Quick!" An Changyan shouted anxiously, glancing back from time to time. Her face turned pale, adding a touch of fragility that made her look pitiful. At this moment, she was being pursued by the seventeen D7-grade metal guardians.

A mass of crimson vegetation, resembling "seaweed," emerged from Chen Beixun.

"Demon Island Vine!" An Changyan narrowed her eyes, focusing on it.

That mass of "seaweed" suddenly expanded at a terrifying speed, instantly enveloping the D7-grade metal guardians in a tangle of crimson vines as thick as water buckets, all squeezing against one another.

Chen Beixun waved his hand, opening a path for An Changyan to come over.

An Changyan said nothing, listening quietly to the harsh "creaking" sound of metal being crushed.

My original plan was to have his Demon Island Vine entangle the D7-grade metal guardians.

It seems I'll just have to find an excuse now... Just as An Changyan was contemplating a strategy, Chen Beixun said softly, "Your Highness, those D7-grade metal guardians have already been dealt with."

"Ah?" An Changyan's pupils dilated, her expression shifting from confusion to shock.

She blinked twice and said in astonishment, "Those are D7-grade metal guardians! Seventeen of them!"

"Why the shock?" Chen Beixun's expression was calm, without a ripple.

"The technological level of these D7-grade metal guardians isn't very high; they aren't equipped with heavy-duty weapons."

"You could say they are fighting with their bare hands!"

"There is nothing to fear..."

With this thought in mind.

"Your Highness, these metal guardians aren't very strong," Chen Beixun said, smiling at An Changyan.

"Uh..." An Changyan grimaced. "It's just that these metal guardians appeared so suddenly."

Chen Beixun's eyes darkened. "That's not right. These metal guardians don't have very high combat power; they are more than enough to deal with some Universe-stage practitioners."

"But how could a Domain Lord... could it be that they were forced into this?"

An Changyan's face turned black in an instant.

"Hoo!" Chen Beixun let out a long breath, "I don't get it..."

"What do you mean!" An Changyan said indignantly, "Are you saying my guard's injury is fake, that I'm deliberately trying to swindle you? I have no reason to do that!"

"I..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Chen Beixun quickly made a timeout gesture and added, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so agitated!"

Chen Beixun's feet involuntarily shuffled back a few steps, "I meant that we were surrounded by metal guards and driven into a dead end!"

"Get lost!" An Changyan barked, though she secretly rejoiced in her heart: What a good opportunity!

"Alright, alright." Chen Beixun waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, don't forget the payment."

Chen Beixun stared at An Changyan, thinking to himself: I'll trip you up first.

"Get lost!" An Changyan's eyes were filled with rage as she shouted, "You still want payment?"

Chen Beixun stepped back into the Demon Island Vine and laughed, "Your Highness, being so untrustworthy..."

"Then don't blame me!"

Chen Beixun's tone was heavy on that last sentence.

"You... you!" An Changyan's small face turned deathly pale, her legs trembling slightly. How could she not follow the rules? She just hadn't expected Chen Beixun to pull a stunt like this.

An Changyan coughed a few times, trying her best to remain calm as she said, "Sir, let's talk this over properly."

"Sir?!" Seeing no one respond, An Changyan shouted anxiously.

Boom! Boom!

The Demon Island Vine on all sides slowly squeezed inward, like a room gradually closing in.

"Sir!"

"Don't!"

Tears welled up in the corners of An Changyan's eyes as she retreated in terror, while the Demon Island Vine behind her accelerated, pressing directly against her back.

"Ah!" An Changyan screamed in a breakdown, "Sir, don't, I'm willing to pay double the price!"

Still, no one answered; silence was the greatest form of contempt.

"I beg you." An Changyan wept, her face a mess of tears. She regretted it now—regretted sneaking out of the family, and bringing only two guards with her.

The movement of the Demon Island Vine caused her to completely collapse as several vines, thick as hemp ropes, coiled around her, compressing her chest.

"Wuu... ah... what are you doing!"

"Ah!" An Changyan struggled with all her might, like a small fish trapped in water weeds.

"Why can this thing devour my armor!" She realized this situation; at this moment, An Changyan's outer armor had already been consumed, leaving only her Force armor.

At this moment, Chen Beixun was sitting on a large rock, leisurely bringing his nose close to the wine in his hand, taking a deep sniff, and laughed, "This wine is really good!"

Beep-beep!

"Hm?" Chen Beixun raised his arm, puzzled, "An email from Li Di?"

All current email information was filtered and notified through Chunqiu.

The content of this email could be summarized briefly:

["Don't go too far. We are all watching. Her parents are Immortals, and her grandfather is also an Immortal. If you keep going like this, you're finished!"]

"Oh, crap." Chen Beixun's body shuddered violently, and he quickly said, "Demon Island Vine, let her out quickly!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

An Changyan was pushed out from the scarlet vines. At this moment, her face was deathly pale, her eyes vacant, and she walked toward Chen Beixun with great difficulty, muttering, "I'm sorry! Don't kill me!"

"Your Highness?!" Chen Beixun said softly, "There's no need to... you..."

"No need for what?!" An Changyan's body tilted forward, forming the shape of a number '7'.

Chen Beixun quickly reached out to steady her, nearly letting her faceplant into the ground.

"I'll tell you everything! Really!" An Changyan struggled desperately to break free from Chen Beixun, and seeing she was free, she ran off to the right.

"Demon Island Vine!" Chen Beixun snapped his fingers.

A scarlet vine blocked her path.

"Ah!" An Changyan screamed in terror and despair. Had he not used Force to isolate the sound beforehand, this scream would have been deafening.

Chen Beixun stepped forward quickly to soothe her, saying, "Don't worry! Don't worry! It's fine."

A long while later...

"A Machine Race Spaceship?" Chen Beixun was shocked, thinking to himself, This must be an opportunity those Immortals specifically prepared for her.

An Changyan nodded, her voice tearful as she spoke, "I... I... I'll give it to you, just don't use the Demon Island Vine against me again."

Chen Beixun's eyes widened, and he quickly said, "It's a misunderstanding!"

"This is a misunderstanding!"

"Just a moment of impulse!"

He certainly didn't want to offend the Immortals!
