Kai Star Royal Family
Interstellar teleportation still takes only a fraction of a second, but it's a considerable test for the teleporter.
Li Wei and Red Armor were alright, but the slave, whom Li Wei would temporarily call 'An Hei,' couldn't take it anymore and vomited on the spot. Seeing this, Li Wei had no choice but to spare a wisp of his true energy to envelop the slave, which made 'An Hei' feel a little better.
After the scraping, the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, Li Wei reached the Level 3 Star Domain, Kai Star!
When the somewhat unfamiliar wind blew against his face, Li Wei took a deep breath; there was no fresh air to breathe during the teleportation process.
"My lord, this is Kai Star!" Perhaps because they had arrived on their own territory, Red Armor seemed very excited and led the way down the teleportation array.
Around the teleportation array, there were groups of Kai Star people who, upon seeing the Red Armor, quickly bowed.

"Seventh Prince, you're finally back!" A Kai Star man in gray armor clearly recognized Red Armor and jogged over. He glanced at Li Wei and "An Hei" behind Red Armor and showed a hint of surprise.
Who are these two people?
Stealing a glance at Li Wei, Red Armor coughed and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Fermil, prepare the Flying Armor Beast for me immediately. I need to get back to the capital right away."
The man named Fermil quickly nodded and stepped back.
A short while later, Li Wei saw him walking over, leading a huge, strange bird.
After Red Armor's explanation, Li Wei learned that this creature, which was even larger than an elephant, was called Flying Armor Beast. It could carry people and fly at incredible speeds. Judging from the five saddles on its back, it could clearly carry five people at a time.
Riding the Flying Armor Beast, Li Wei also took the opportunity to tell the 'An Hei' behind him some information, including the composition and level division of the star field. Of course, the main point was to tell him that one of his friends had been kidnapped by the Vampire Starfolk, and this time, he was going to rescue his friend.
"Help me analyze this, just say whatever comes to mind!" Li Wei still felt that this An Hei was a bit suspicious. When he left Three Heroes City, he deliberately let Blood Wolf come into contact with this An Hei. However, judging from Blood Wolf's reaction, he obviously didn't recognize this An Hei.
That's normal, after all, Blood Wolf had never actually seen the An Hei before.
Perhaps this person isn't actually An Hei, but Li Wei still felt he needed to test him further. If he really wasn't An Hei, then he could treat him as a servant.
If he is "An Hei," then Li Wei will need the other party's logic and analytical abilities, which will definitely make the rescue of Nina much more effective.
"If he were truly An Hei, he would definitely pretend to be stupid!" Li Wei squinted, secretly watching Ran Fang, trying to glean some clues from the other's expression.
However, the other party didn't pretend to be stupid; on the contrary, they started thinking seriously, and soon, in the An Hei, they came to a conclusion.
"I think this rescue operation was quite risky, somewhat... reckless!"
"Oh!"
Li Wei was somewhat surprised. "Why do you say it's reckless?"
"I 'An Hei," he chuckled, "The saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy.' Master, you don't understand the Vampire Starfolk at all. Just that alone makes you act impulsively."
Snort!
Li Wei sneered, "The basic situation of the Level 4 Starfield, the Blood Clan Star, has already been explained by Red Armor. Isn't knowing this enough? Besides, Red Armor also said that Jin will use the power of their royal family to mediate!"
'An Hei' shook its head, but its hands gripped the saddle tightly to maintain its balance.
"Master, you don't understand those Vampire Starfolk. Although the Kai Star people are willing to help mediate, you also said that higher-level star domains always look down on lower-level star domains. Do you think the Vampire Starfolk will pay attention to the Kai Star people? Moreover, doing so would be tantamount to telling the Vampire Starfolk that we are going back to rescue them. Wouldn't that make the Vampire Starfolk who kidnapped your friend wary? Even if they wanted to forcibly rescue them later, it would be much more difficult!"
Li Wei revealed a slight smile.
Impressive! In just a moment, he found the key to the problem. These were also the issues Li Wei had considered. Indeed, instead of letting the Kai Star Royal Family mediate, it would be better to directly attack the Blood Clan Star Domain, which would also allow them to take the enemy by surprise.
However, if this 'An Hei' is real, he should be hiding his true abilities and not be so blatantly displaying his talents, unless he is not truly An Hei, but just a clever person.
"Furthermore, Master, have you ever wondered why those Vampire Starfolk kidnapped your friend? I think figuring that out might help with the rescue!" 'An Hei' said earnestly.
Hiss!
Li Wei gasped, a strange look creeping into his eyes as he looked at the other person—something he hadn't really considered.
After that, Li Wei didn't say anything more. Instead, after pondering for a while, he said to the Red Armor was already stunned by the conversation between Li Wei and the An Hei, "The matter of coordinating with the Vampire Starfolk is off. Now, I want you to use all your resources to investigate everything about the Vampire Starfolk. Remember, I want all their information, including how they reproduce. Find out everything. Remember, don't alert them!"
Glug!
Red Armor swallowed hard and nodded quickly.
The Flying Armor Beast moved at an unusual speed, but it still took it most of the day to reach Kai Star Imperial City.
In Li Wei's eyes, this so-called imperial city was nothing more than a Sand City.
At this moment, on a platform in the royal city of Kai Star, a person watched the flying Flying Armor Beast approaching. Two beams of light flashed from within its green and white armor.
"Hmph, it's that piece of trash Barakichi. I thought he died out there and would never come back!"
As they spoke, a man clad entirely in black armor stepped out from behind the Kai Star man. "Second Prince, I have received a secret report that the Destroyer accompanied the Seventh Prince to that scorching star field has perished!"
"What?" The one called the Second Prince exclaimed in surprise, clearly taken aback by the news.
As a member of the royal family, he was well aware of the Destroyer's role in the star system.
"Damn it... how could this happen? Now we'll be invaded by those terrifying guys from the advanced star systems! That damned Seventh Brother, it's all his fault! I'm going to report this to Father and have him execute that piece of trash!"
As he spoke, a murderous aura emanated from the Second Prince's eyes.
The black-armored man behind him chuckled, "The Second Prince is right. This time, we should take this opportunity to eliminate the Seventh Prince. That way, no one will be competing with you for the position of Crown Prince!"
"But, without the Destroyer's existence, our Kai Star is probably..." The Second Prince wasn't stupid. Without the Destroyer's support, even if he became the Crown Prince, he could never dream of reaching the pinnacle.
"Perhaps the next day, people from advanced star domains will come to plunder our resources." Second Prince, I think that as long as we send out a message on the star domain black market, many Destroyer will be willing to accept our Kai Star. After all, we are a level 3 star domain. As long as we loosen the conditions, I believe those Destroyer will definitely be tempted!" the black-armored man said softly.
The second prince was taken aback, then nodded, thinking to himself that this was not a bad idea, and if a high-level Destroyer was willing to accept Kai Star, it might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
"Come with me to see Father King. I will make sure that Seventh Prince dies without a burial place!" After saying this, the Second Prince hurriedly returned to the capital.
At this moment, Li Wei, led by Red Armor, had arrived at a very luxurious hall.
The hall was filled with tall Kai Star people. Like the Red Armor, they all wore armor of different colors, and most of them were B-level experts. Their invisible aura was definitely not something ordinary people could withstand.
The man was in An Hei, flushed face, clearly struggling. Li Wei glanced at him and then continued to envelop him with his true energy, isolating him from the oppressive aura.
At this moment, Li Wei noticed that I's An Hei complexion had improved somewhat.
Upon entering the hall, the man in Red Armor was quickly recognized.
"Barak-i-Chi, when did you get back?" A figure that was clearly a female Kai Star person walked over and said to Red Armor.
"Just a minute ago, um, where is Father? I need to see him!" Red Armor said anxiously, not daring to slack off in front of Li Wei.
In other words, he needs to perform when the time is right, because it concerns his future prospects and cannot be taken lightly.
The female Kai Star looked at Li Wei and An Hei behind the Red Armor with some surprise and nodded, saying, "Father heard that Ma Tu would come after you returned. Who are these two?"
She was naturally referring to Li Wei and An Hei.
Red Armor wouldn't easily reveal Li Wei's identity Destroyer; he kept his mouth shut and used various excuses to evade the question. However, the female Kai Star person was also very patient. After failing to get an answer from Red Armor, she walked directly up to Li Wei and looked him up and down.
"They're from another star system. They really do look strange!" she said, reaching out to touch Li Wei's skin.
This female Kai Star person was only at the level of the Guiding Realm, so Li Wei couldn't let her touch him. He simply moved his feet and dodged her.
"Huh?" The female Kai Star clearly hadn't expected Li Wei to dodge.
"Sorry, I don't like being touched by just anyone!" Li Wei said with a smile.
The female Kai Star was clearly taken aback; she had never heard anyone speak to her like that before. But soon, she came up with an idea.
She smiled brightly and said, "Everyone, come and see these two! Does anyone know which star system they're from?"
A shout drew the attention of all the Kai Star people in the hall. Among them, several Kai Star people in gray-white armor spoke up, "Uh, they should be people from the newly promoted star region, Earth Star. Their appearance and features do indeed match the Earthlings's standards!"
A top-tier star system? Or a newly emerging one?
In an instant, a noisy commotion erupted in the hall, and the gazes directed at Li Wei and his companions were filled with disdain. In their eyes, it was as if an upper-class society had suddenly encountered a few lowly beggars.
