Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 1088: Chapter 954: None Will Yield

Tang Gu really didn’t expect that the data he handed over would lead to more than one massacre.

Originally, he thought it would be good if Yingying could clear out most of the people on the list, but who knew the other party would go on a killing spree.

However, with a general analysis, one could conclude that those who were massacred were basically families involved in wrongdoing.

There were also some traitors, who were basically killed along with their entire families.

The bloody slaughter lasted only one night, but it bloomed everywhere.

There were a total of twenty-four people on the list, and aside from two who were not on Qingsha Star, twenty-two were caught without exception.

Most terrifying was that these twenty-two people were mostly Awakened, including many High Tier ones, spread across the entire Qingsha planet.

To have all of them killed in one night, it’s truly unimaginable what kind of immense power the perpetrator possessed.

For a moment, the entire Qingsha Star was in panic, especially due to the massacres, which were truly bloody and terrifying.

However, it wasn’t long before someone analyzed that the deceased all had offended Lord Kong Se.

Especially, some of the dead were thought to be friends of the Lord, but a closer look revealed they had betrayed him.

This was the first time that most of the people on the planet were certain that Kong Se’s family was exterminated!

Previously, only a very few knew this information, but now it was widely known.

Not long after the news spread, the hearts of the people stabilized—where there are grievances, there are culprits, and anyways, it has nothing to do with me.

But some people felt guilty, identifying themselves as next in line, scared to run and hide.

The impact of the murders was too great, prompting the Qingsha Government to issue a warning, and the entire planet entered a level three alert.

But in fact, the intensity of the search was really limited, focusing on deploying a large number of City Guard in key areas.

The following days were peaceful, as Qu Jianlei and his team were busy retrieving Teleportation Array Plates.

Unfortunately, one of the Teleportation Array Plates wasn’t well hidden and was picked up by someone.

The person intended to dismantle the plate and sell it to a scrap metal recycling company, triggering the plate’s self-destruction.

Fortunately, the plate only self-destructed internally without causing a fiery explosion.

And the person dismantling it was cautious enough, so only the mechanical arm suffered some damage.

Qinghu locked onto the plate and discreetly took it away at night without doing anything to the person.

If it were Bentley, he probably would have silenced the person to maintain secrecy.

Not mentioning these trivial matters, on the fifth day after the tragedy, Hillary directly left Qingsha on a starship.

She took a private Business Starship and didn’t say goodbye to anyone.

But this action was still detected by Little Lake, who promptly alerted Qu Jianlei.

"Did she get scared and run away?" Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, is that all the courage she has?

Their purpose for the killings was to remove obstacles and serve as a warning, to pressure Hillary into making a decision quickly.

Unexpectedly, the woman who seemed arrogant was actually quite cowardly, not responding nor taking the chance to secretly flee.

Little Lake also found out the destination of the Business Starship — the Central Star of Sirius Star Realm, Forward Star.

Qu Jianlei could use the Teleportation Array Plate to get on the Omen Ship in time to catch up, or he could go to Forward Star to intercept her.

However, there were still more than twenty days until his one-month deadline, and he wasn’t sure how Hillary would ultimately respond.

Generally, Qu Jianlei still prefers to keep his promises, even if the other party might turn into an enemy, they are not yet defined as such.

Of course, escaping to Forward Star doesn’t necessarily mean the end, she might transfer to other places.

But after a moment’s thought, Qu Jianlei decided not to chase Hillary—he wasn’t so idle as to do that.

If the other party really wasn’t afraid of embarrassment, he would accept it, and handle her later.

In the end, there’s the saying that a thousand days being a thief doesn’t equal a thousand days guarding against it.

He just sincerely hoped that the other party wasn’t so foolish, otherwise, when the time comes, blood may flow like a river again.

A few days later, a piece of news gradually spread on Qingsha Star.

The one who avenged Lord Kong Se’s death was his niece, the former genius of Chaoyang Academy, Celestial Sound.

This news had no clear source, nor any evidence, and the government couldn’t convict based on it, nor could they issue a bounty.

But the label of "suspect" was undeniably there, and Celestial Sound couldn’t use her real identity to openly show herself anymore.

Claire was quite furious about it, "It must be that woman, she’s truly vicious!"

She never had the Imperial’s most authoritative identity proof, and she was quite envious of Celestial Sound.

But Celestial Sound was indifferent about it, calmly stating, "As someone from the Supreme, shouldn’t be surprised if people want to vent."

Her hands were already stained with much blood, and she was accustomed to using fake identities while following the team leader.

As for the future... she didn’t have much hope, at least a stable life was out of the question.

As long as she could advance to Supreme, she would have no regrets in life, and the team could provide significant help in this aspect.

Rather than live a mediocre life, why not live a brilliant and exciting one?

Qu Jianlei’s attitude was, "This woman really isn’t anything good, but it’s manageable for us."

A month passed quickly, and Koning Supreme managed to get through all the procedures.

There was no choice; those who once deliberately set obstacles already used their deaths to tell others: Absolutely don’t mess around!

However, the matter of gathering the small shareholders... still wasn’t very smooth.

More than one person clearly stated that if Hillary would openly declare her withdrawal, they would join without hesitation.

Round and round, the focus returned to the original instigator.

Yet, Hillary still didn’t provide any clear response; no one even knew where she went.

At this point, Qu Jianlei decided not to wait any longer, leading the team to "warp" to the Omen Ship, heading straight for Forward Star.

By the time they landed on Forward Star, seven days had passed.

Little Lake spent two days confirming that Hillary hadn’t left the planet but hid in a Supreme’s mansion.

The Supreme was named Cha Anping, with a Fire Attribute, not only a graduate of Feiyang Military Academy but also the chief instructor of Forward Military Region.

"Seems we’re being forced to act directly," Qu Jianlei sighed softly.

Facing two Supremes isn’t a big deal; the problem is Cha Anping’s mansion is just over 30 kilometers from the military region’s headquarters.

"Let me handle it," the Paranoid spoke with a grim face, "I’m curious how Feiyang people can distort the facts!"

He didn’t have a strong sense of belonging to Chaoyang Academy, but the opponent clearly wanted to use Feiyang Academy as a link to stubbornly resist our side.

This really annoyed him: Can Feiyang people just ignore Chaoyang like this?

Granny Jia nodded upon hearing, "Count me in, that Cha Anping... has a pretty stubborn head."

She certainly didn’t live her years in vain, knowing quite a few Supremes, even the Paranoid and Mu Yu couldn’t compare.

Qinghu, however, expressed, "Senior, you’d better provide support outside; I’ll follow in."

"No need," Granny Jia shook her head, "I’ve recently had insights and am becoming more adept at controlling Water Element."

"Then let’s go together," Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "Flower Scorpion and Claire should not participate."

Two days later, the area around Forward Military Region was shrouded in clouds for over a day, finally starting a drizzling rain.

The military region had appropriate measures for rain, but they were rarely used.

After all, "all-weather operations" are a basic requirement for the military; soldiers can’t be too pampered.

Similarly, the nearby Supreme mansion was also enveloped in the light rain.

That night, Cha Anping was studying divine texts in the mansion, suddenly feeling a pang of unease.

He furrowed his brows, pushed open the door, and stepped out, pondering for a moment before releasing a subtle perception.

Honestly, Hillary’s recent visit brought him some inconvenience.

Originally his mansion, it was convenient for whatever he wanted to do, yet a Supreme woman showed up.

And that senior sister wasn’t shy, treating herself like half an owner of the mansion.

Generally, Supremes don’t care much about gender differences.

But being fellow Supremes and alumni made it a bit awkward—if anything happened, he wouldn’t be able to mingle in the alumni circle.

So Cha Anping truly felt a bit uneasy, but the senior sister has considerable social energy and had helped him before.

Now that the senior sister was in trouble, he couldn’t ignore it, nor could he hide in the camp; he had to stay in the mansion every day.

As Cha Anping released his perception, Hillary sensed it.

Then, with a flicker, she was by Cha Anping’s side—truly unreserved.

Her face showed obvious caution, she asked solemnly, "Did you discover anything?"

"Not sure," Cha Anping shook his head, his face also carrying some gravity, "It just feels off."

"Should we..." Hillary wanted to have the junior summon warriors—these measures were already arranged.

But considering the junior’s personality, she refrained from making too presumptuous a request.

She indeed was quite arrogant, but she was mindful of propriety in the alumni circle.

Especially since this junior was already an important military figure, his demeanor naturally carried authority, his cultivation level was also remarkable.

Cha Anping knew what she wanted to say, he lightly snorted and spoke slowly, "I have my plans, just stay peacefully."

"Really?" A voice like a broken gong echoed, followed by a sharp laugh.

"I’ve been standing here for half a day, and you didn’t notice, yet you still boast about yourself?"

Cha Anping’s body stiffened slightly first, then he turned his head.

Beside a thick iron pillar, a shadow faintly appeared, leaning casually against the iron.

Only upon closer inspection could one see this figure, arms crossed, exuding a lazy aura.

Cha Anping’s brows furrowed slightly, a glint flashed in his eyes.

Then he spoke slowly, "Do you know what the crime is for trespassing the mansion of a senior military official?"
