Though he issued urgent orders, it was already too late.
A ripple spread through the surrounding space. A powerful being was using “Space Sealing,” causing Luo Feng’s face to darken slightly. He sighed inwardly. The expert who had arrived upon receiving the news was indeed swift; the first thing they did upon teleporting here was to cast Space Sealing.
…
After the three teams appeared, they immediately began searching for their target.
“Where is the alien squad?”
“Where is the alien squad that attacked Zhenyan?” All three teams scanned the surroundings, their immortal divine powers sweeping outward to investigate, while also using their respective detectors…
“There’s nothing.”
“We can’t find them.”
“We were originally inside the Twin Spiral Region. Upon receiving the news, we barely had time to coordinate before instantly teleporting here three times. As soon as we arrived, we immediately cast Space Sealing. In such a short time, could they really have escaped? Zhenyan is also a renowned powerhouse; couldn’t he have survived even a little longer?”
The three teams could see each other from afar. Since they were all from the human faction, some who knew each other exchanged words.
“Everyone!”
One of the members from one of the teams, a creature with snow-white fur and a pointed nose resembling a monkey, spoke in a low tone, “Though your detectors found nothing, my ‘Miniature Detector’ detected another hidden Miniature Detector just 22 kilometers from me.” He pointed toward a direction.
“What?”
“There’s a hidden Miniature Detector there?”
“Xuejiao King, are you sure? Why can’t we detect anything?”
“Xuejiao King’s Miniature Detector is the most expensive and advanced among us, worth several billion mixed yuan units. What he says must be correct. There must be an alien squad hiding there. Haha, whether they are hiding or not will be clear soon… Reveal yourself!”
A powerful Immortal Divine Power swept directly toward that area.
A Miniature Detector only covers a limited range.
A few dozen kilometers could easily be completely swept by a single Immortal Divine Power. If there was resistance, there was no doubt that a powerful being was hiding there.
“Boom~~~”
Divine power surged.
“Boom!” Suddenly, from the hidden area, another even more powerful divine power erupted, directly shattering the incoming Immortal Divine Power, and in a fan-like formation, swept toward the three distant teams.
“It’s a King-ranked Limit powerhouse!”
“Everyone, be careful.”
Though cautious, the three teams were not afraid. They were aware that there were powerful alien squads from other factions, and that the enemy possessed valuable treasures. Only the strongest squads in the entire Twin Spiral Region would dare to rush here first. After all, each vortex in the Twin Spiral Region is only a few light-years in diameter.
And teleportation can easily cover one or two light-years.
A few teleportations would bring them here. In theory, most teams could arrive in time, but why hadn’t other teams come? Because other teams were timid, wanting to wait for stronger teams to arrive first, while those who felt their strength was insufficient would come later, just to watch a major battle and see if there was an opportunity to benefit from the chaos.
These three teams combined had a total of 16 powerhouses, including no fewer than 9 King-ranked Limit powerhouses, 3 King-ranked Peak Soul-type Masters, and the remaining 4 were also King-ranked Peak powerhouses.
They were extremely powerful squads.
“Boom~~” The fan-shaped Immortal Divine Power attacking them was directly shattered.
“You dare attack a fellow faction powerhouse? Do you wish to be hunted by the entire human race?” A cold, furious voice rang out. Suddenly, the hidden space in the distance twisted, and three figures emerged… They were the silver-armored, winged Daohe King, the long-haired Tianzhen King, and Jihong King standing behind Luo Feng.
“It’s Daohe King.”
“It’s Tianzhen King!”
All three teams were startled. The victim this time, Tianzhen King, was actually still alive? And Daohe King, who had recently gained a terrifying reputation, had actually come to the Twin Spiral Region?
“Daohe King, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. We didn’t know it was you.”
“Daohe King, Tianzhen King, this was a mistake. We thought it was an alien squad hiding there.”
It was already wrong to attack a fellow faction’s elite. Although no one was injured, all three teams had their elites step forward to apologize, clearly unwilling to provoke the infamous Daohe King.
“Hmph!” Luo Feng’s face was like ice.
In reality, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With his cautious nature, to prevent enemies from arriving too early and seeing things they shouldn’t, Luo Feng had reflexively activated the “Miniature Detector” to hide himself when he went to mentally control Tianzhen King. When he discovered the Space Sealing and couldn’t escape in time, he immediately decided to follow the second retreat plan.
First, he withdrew all the other powerhouses into his world ring, then summoned Tianzhen King and Jihong King… feigning that they were also members of the human faction.
After all, Daohe King was human!
…
“I did my best to save my good friend Tianzhen King, driving off the alien squad. If, after barely escaping from the alien squad, he ended up dying from your attack… then it wouldn’t be so easily resolved.” Luo Feng’s gaze swept across the three teams, and many powerful figures among them smiled apologetically.
If they had accidentally attacked a weakling, they wouldn’t have cared.
However, the reputation of Daohe King was simply too formidable. He had slain numerous King-level Limit Powerhouses and King-level Peak Soul Masters. Moreover, Daohe King was human! Within the entire human faction… other races were merely subordinates, while humans stood as the strongest. Certain regulations within the military system were evidently skewed in favor of humans.
This made the three teams present even more reluctant to provoke Luo Feng!
“This Tianzhen King’s aura is really weak.”
“It looks like more than half of his immortal divine body has been damaged.”
“He must have been severely injured this time. But there are rumors that Tianzhen King and Daohe King are good friends. When the Star Tower sealed the emergence of the Star God, they were together… It is said that at that time, Daohe King almost fell into that chaotic and dangerous area, and Tianzhen King was so anxious that he almost rushed in together. Fortunately, Daohe King had great luck, and a spatial exit suddenly appeared, allowing him to escape with his life.”
This is what true friendship is! The strong have long lifespans, and as their loved ones pass away one by one, they come to cherish their friends even more. Roaming through the universe, there are far too many schemes and deceptions. True life-and-death companions are rare—each one is precious and worth treasuring! Given the profound bond between Tianzhen King and Daohe King, it’s likely that upon hearing the news, Daohe King cast aside all else and rushed here at full speed, arriving first.
“It’s likely that Tianzhen King was the first to ask Daohe King for help, which is why Daohe King arrived first.”
“Indeed, good friends.”
“Only brothers in life and death would go to such lengths.”
The strongest members of the three teams communicated covertly via telepathy. Since the Daohe King had already expelled the alien squad, and the aliens had fled, they had previously been on high alert—like hunting dogs poised to unleash their most vicious attacks at any moment. But now, they finally relaxed.
However, there was one exception among the three teams… it was Xuejiao King.
“Still haven’t removed the Space Sealing?” Luo Feng coldly demanded. He had been waiting for these three teams to remove the Space Sealing so he could teleport away.
“Not in a hurry.”
A cold voice replied. The speaker was none other than Xuejiao King, whose eyes glinted with a murderous light.
Xuejiao King stared at Luo Feng, a cold smirk playing on his lips. “Daohe King, there are likely many powerful figures from other factions watching you right now. I never expected Daohe King to actually show up here! It seems you and Tianzhen King share an exceptionally deep brotherly bond. But… you’re being utterly foolish. For Tianzhen King’s sake, you’ve recklessly thrown yourself into danger.”
“Dangerous situation?” Luo Feng looked at him.
“Xuejiao King, remove the Space Sealing.”
“Yeah, remove it.”
The other teammates also encouraged Xuejiao King. Although Daohe King was coveted by many supreme powerhouses, he was not someone a mere King-level Limit powerhouse could aspire to possess. Moreover… Daohe King belonged to the human faction, and internal conflicts were strictly prohibited within the human faction.
“Everyone, don’t rush,” the Xuejiao King said coldly. “This Daohe King… though I don’t know the reason, I attempted to send him a distress signal through the military system. Daohe King’s virtual universe ID is well-known among many powerful beings. I specifically sent it… Normally, even if he had his virtual universe reception turned off, the military system would only indicate that the recipient has disabled reception. But this time, the military system’s response was… the recipient has retired! He is no longer in the military system and cannot receive distress signals.”
“Retired?”
“Retired?”
“Daohe King has retired?”
“I tried too, really retired, unable to send a distress signal through the military system. The military system clearly states the recipient has retired.” The three teams were in an uproar. Though they already knew Daohe King had enormous wealth, probably also possessing valuable treasures, they had no intention of doing anything.
Firstly due to his strength, and secondly, more importantly, because infighting within the same faction was strictly prohibited!
Now knowing that Daohe King had retired, their thoughts began to stir. Could they not defeat Daohe King individually? Then what about a joint attack? Instantly, the atmosphere among the three teams changed, no longer as friendly as before, but subtly turning against Luo Feng and his group.
“Daohe King risked his life to save me, and you actually want to attack him?” Tianzhen King roared furiously, his voice directly resonating in the minds of the many powerhouses from the three teams.
“Tianzhen King, this doesn’t concern you.”
“Just step aside.”
“Tianzhen King, with your current strength, you can’t influence the situation. We won’t attack you, so just be sensible.” The three teams’ gazes toward Luo Feng had changed. At this moment, from afar, more than a dozen teams flew in from various directions. These teams were blocked by the Space Sealing and could only teleport to the edge of the ‘seal’ before flying in.
Though these more than a dozen teams were flying in, their detectors had already detected everything happening here.
“It’s Daohe King.”
“Daohe King is actually here.”
“Daohe King has retired, no longer in the military system, and is no longer protected by the faction.”
Instantly, a loud uproar erupted.
This scene made Luo Feng slightly furrow his brow, yet he calmly said, “Tianzhen King, you rest for now. Leave everything to me.” He then directly retracted Tianzhen King into his world ring. Luo Feng’s action… the three nearby teams did not stop him, because they also didn’t want Tianzhen King to be caught in the crossfire during the fight. At this time, they still thought Tianzhen King was the same as before, not knowing that in just a short moment, Tianzhen King had already become Luo Feng’s servant.
“Funny.”
Luo Feng’s gaze swept over the approaching teams, “The rumor about the alien squad’s treasure has been successfully misled. I didn’t expect the identity of Daohe King… to bring me trouble.”
