In a vast expanse of space, far from Prisoner Star.
The Ghost King Avatar, holding two core employees of the Treasure Pavilion who were at the Universe Level 9, floated above the galaxy.
In front of them.
It is a nearly perfectly round star with a diameter of about ten kilometers, emitting a blue light.
Even though they were far apart, the powerful suction made Lu Qingshan feel a strong pull. If it weren't for the World Power blocking the way, the two Universe Level 9 experts next to him would probably have trouble even standing.
This is the remnant of a dead Star Level...
It possesses an extremely strong magnetic field and electromagnetic radiation; its atmospheric pressure is ten trillion trillion times that of ordinary life-bearing planets, and its gravity is also more than 100 billion times stronger.
It also has another name: neutron star!
The two Universe Level 9 seemed to have guessed the Ghost King Avatar's thoughts, and their faces were filled with fear and despair.
" Universe Level powerhouses can fight on white dwarfs... I wonder if this neutron star can withstand it?"
A cruel smile crept across the Ghost King Avatar's lips.
"I'll ask you one last time, where are the goods hidden in the Treasure Pavilion warehouse of the Zichen Universe Country?"
I said.
"I'll say it too."
Faced with a punishment more terrible than death, the loyalty of two Universe Level individuals seems utterly ridiculous.
"Hehe... Since you're all going to tell us anyway, then we only need to keep one."
The Ghost King Avatar glanced at the person who answered behind him.
Feel sorry.
Why were you so late in answering?
As soon as he let go, the World Power propelled the Universe Level 9 expert closer to the neutron star.
From the perspective of the Ghost King Avatar and another Universe Level 9, the changes in that person can be clearly seen.
His body seemed to be under unimaginable pressure; his cells and bones were all destroyed and stretched straight out, like dough being kneaded and then stretched into long noodles.
If it weren't for his Universe Level strength and powerful body, he would probably be dead by now. But his Universe Level strength has kept him conscious, and in this state, he is enduring unimaginable pain.
Even the most brutal form of torture, slow slicing, pales in comparison to this one ten-thousandth of the suffering.
His face was no longer recognizable; it was elongated like a rugby ball...
Immediately afterwards...
His body had just begun to disintegrate.
After falling onto the surface of a neutron star, the remaining body turned into a puddle of water, then melted and evaporated again, and finally everything turned into neutrons, becoming part of the neutron star!
This process, accompanied by the struggle of the Universe Level 9, lasted for several minutes.
Those few minutes were a nightmare for another Universe Level 9.
He was glad he had answered first.
Even in death.
He didn't want to die such a gruesome death, his bones reduced to ashes.
"You can speak now."
Lu Qingshan looked at him.
"All of the Treasure Pavilion's goods from the Purple Firmament Empire are hidden in a civilian house on the Imperial Capital Star."
Ganwu Continent, Treasure Pavilion!
Kunshaluo looked at the message he had just received, a look of fear and shock flashing in his eyes!
"What?! The great Ganwu Country Lord has taken Lu Qingshan as his disciple and given him treatment in the Ganwu Mystic Region that is no less than that of Immortal!"
If this news hadn't come from a friend he trusted, he would have even suspected it was completely false information.
Ganwu Country Lord...
What an existence that is!
How many years has it been since he took on a disciple? Why did he choose Lu Qingshan?
I, Kunshaluo, have cultivated myself all the way to Immortal, how fortunate I am! Why did I have to offend this wicked star!
Kunshaluo realized that everything had been going smoothly for him before. His company had successfully gone public and was about to receive investment from Virtual Universe Company, ensuring its future growth and success. But ever since he opposed Lu Qingshan, everything he did seemed to go wrong...
He is now destitute, and his once-proud Treasure Pavilion is on the verge of bankruptcy.
"That guy, he won't cause me any trouble, will he?"
Kunshaluo realized that the balance of power between the two seemed to have shifted.
Although Lu Qingshan is only World Lord, with the influence of being a disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, if he were to speak up, there would definitely be Immortal who want to befriend him who would make a move against him. For example, the three from the Ganwu Mystic Region would probably be very willing to help.
"But I've already made up with him."
"Yes, we've reconciled. I gave him a treasure worth 50 Hunyuan Unit, and he accepted it."
"There's no grudge between us. As long as I don't provoke him in the future, he'll probably forget about me soon."
"No!"
"That Lu Qingshan is cunning and cautious; he's definitely not the kind of person who's easygoing. The previous reconciliation was only out of necessity. Now he's already got my foot in the bag!"
Just then...
Kunshaluo's Intelligent Life brought him more bad news.
His valuables in the Zichen Universe Country were all stolen before their owner even arrived.
"Asshole!"
Kunshaluo slammed his fist on the table, leaving a deep dent in the sturdy surface.
"Who is that guy?! Why is he specifically targeting me? No, I can't stay in this Ganwu Universe Country any longer. If I stay here, I might die!"
Kunshaluo made up his mind. The Treasure Pavilion was already half-dead, so what if it was destroyed? As long as he was still alive, there was still a possibility of starting over, provided that he stayed away from this place of trouble.
"Yes, I'll leave. The universe is so vast; in another place, I will still be a great and Immortal God."
After making his decision, Kunshaluo took one last look at the headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion, which he had run for many years.
With a hint of reluctance in his eyes, he still resolutely chose to leave.
To avoid suspicion, he did not submit his resignation, and he didn't even take his younger brother with him.
Lu Qingshan, still in the Ganwu Mystic Region, was unaware that Kunshaluo, after a period of suspicion, had actually chosen to flee...
At this moment, he was in a shop in the public area preparing some gifts for his two disciples who were planning to leave the secret realm to venture out on their own.
"Eighteenth Prince, how much would it cost if I chose these two items?"
Lu Qingshan pointed to the two items he had chosen and spoke to the richly dressed man.
"These two things..."
The eighteenth prince glanced at it, his face full of smiles.
"This D-class Machine Race Laser Gun only needs 0.05 seconds to charge, and a full charge can fire ten times. It can easily kill Domain Lord Ninth Stage. It is worth 10 Hunyuan Unit, and two guns are worth 20 Hunyuan Unit."
Ten Hunyuan Unit are equivalent to the entire wealth of a World Lord, yet they buy a weapon that can only kill Domain Lord. It seems like a bad deal, but it can't actually be calculated that way.
The D9 Laser Gun of the Machine Race is a sophisticated piece of equipment crafted by the Machine Race. Even in the hands of Star Level being, this weapon could still kill Domain Lord...
Possessing such a weapon would allow a family to survive for countless years, maintaining its status even if a powerful member is lost. Of course, this is on the premise that the family's planet has a robust defense system to prevent powerful individuals from secretly infiltrating its territory.
Another reason for its high price is its small size. This Laser Gun has a caliber of only half a meter, making it easy to operate even at Planetary Level... If it were replaced with a D9 railgun, a massive piece of equipment, the price would be more than a hundred times cheaper.
"And these Life Fruit, one is worth 2.5 Hunyuan Unit, ten of them are worth a total of 25 Hunyuan Unit."
The eighteenth prince calculated the price, then said with a smile.
"Brother Qingshan, you're a regular customer of our store, so we'll give you a 20% discount... Just give me 36 Hunyuan Unit."
"Thank you, Eighteenth Prince."
Lu Qingshan cupped his hands in greeting and paid the bill... He knew that if the 18th Prince received a 20% discount, he would be losing money on this deal, but adults don't usually care about such small gains or losses.
If Lu Qingshan disagrees with the discount and insists on paying the original price, the eighteenth prince will probably be unhappy.
After Lu Qingshan had walked away...
The old man in the shop had just come over. Looking at Lu Qingshan's back, he exclaimed in amazement, "Your Highness truly has a discerning eye. You saw last time that this person has a limitless future."
"Hehe, I don't have that ability. Didn't I say last time that for those who don't understand, all you need to do is befriend them?"
"If Your Highness can gain Lord Lu's support, your status in the Universe Country will be greatly enhanced!"
