Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 1135: Chapter 1001: Missing

Bentley gathered the information but did not offer any suggestions.

He understood his role clearly: decisive in small matters, but lacking a true grasp of the big picture...

So he simply reported the information back, wondering to himself: how would the boss decide?

"We must leave immediately!" Qu Jianlei said decisively, "Star No. 2 is about to descend into chaos!"

If Star No. 2 united against the enemy together, even if the Imperial sent someone, they must consider local sentiment.

But if the planet is in civil strife, if the Imperial doesn’t take over forcefully, they don’t deserve to rule such a vast territory.

Granny Jia’s judgment was the same as his: "This place is about to become the storm’s center, who knows when we’ll return next."

The five took three lifeboats and directly teleported to the Omen Ship, then headed straight to Celestial Handle Star.

Among the Star Realm that Qu Jianlei had already visited, Celestial Hook Star Realm was still somewhat stable.

After teleporting to Celestial Handle Star, the five rested for seven to eight days before finding a secluded underground chamber outside to release the people.

The A-level panda was manageable, waiting obediently in the lifeboat for ten days.

Feng Tang and Flame Gun were a bit worse off, they practically slept through those days, arbitrarily losing over ten days of their lives.

It wasn’t until this time that Qu Jianlei conducted some basic examinations on the two.

Flame Gun was still okay, just suffered ordinary flesh wounds and had feeble inner breath.

Feng Tang was in a much worse state, with most of his body’s bones and muscles damaged, his inner breath nearly undetectable.

More critically, his essence blood was depleted and vitality faint, unless he recuperated for a dozen or more years, he likely couldn’t partake in even low-intensity battles.

Qu Jianlei harbored no bias against the two but also had no favorable impression, awakening them rather roughly.

Flame Gun remained perceptive, refraining from opening his eyes upon waking, pretending to continue unconscious.

No wonder he could switch sides twice in succession; his ability to assess situations was truly remarkable.

"You don’t seem to desire dignity?" Qu Jianlei snorted lightly, "Had I known, I wouldn’t have brought you out of the Hope Star Realm."

"Out of the Hope Star Realm?" Flame Gun slowly opened his eyes upon hearing this, paused, then slowly sat up.

He glanced around questioningly, "Where is this place?"

Qu Jianlei regarded him coolly, saying nothing, but his expression was clear: Do you think you have the right to ask?

Flame Gun’s spiritual power fluctuated subtly—his spiritual power was his forte, allowing him to openly challenge another Supreme.

Yet as his spirit ventured out, his expression changed, for there was a subtle barrier in the air!

He was acutely aware this was a Defense Force Field response, implying that there was a Defense Array here!

Regarding the strength of the defense energy, he didn’t test it further, knowing its presence was enough.

Trying brute force to break through would be seriously provocative, regardless of success.

To be honest, even probing with his spiritual power wasn’t exactly friendly.

Fortunately, he only did so lightly, with minimal fluctuations, as a regular Supreme would likely dismiss it as accidental.

However, the man before him glanced at him, asking indifferently, "Do you wish to die?"

A master! Flame Gun reached this conclusion without hesitation. "Apologies, it’s reflexive; I meant no offense."

"I hope you’ll value this opportunity," Qu Jianlei said coldly, "If I wanted to kill you, why bother bringing you out painstakingly?"

So, it truly was out of the Hope Star Realm? Flame Gun couldn’t quite believe it yet.

But he dared not ask further and glanced sideways, noticing the panda.

His gaze brightened, "Nutrient Injection, where is this place?"

Nutrient Injection was his nickname for the little person, due to the latter’s frequent claims that "what’s concentrated is essence."

The A-level looked at him honestly, "If you can survive outside the room, this is Celestial Handle Star!"

"Hey, who do you think you’re talking to?" Flame Gun grumbled, slightly unhappy.

He and Feng Tang indeed met this person on the run.

Considering Flame Gun’s nature, killing and silencing wasn’t significant, but he wasn’t particularly bloodthirsty.

He found the little one competent and amusing, inexplicably trusting the person.

Nutrient Injection looked at him, "Indeed, we escaped Hope Star Realm, I’ve chosen to join the opposite side, as for you..."

"Your survival depends on your attitude, sir."

The small one’s meaning was clear: I’ve successfully aligned myself, your position is not as elevated as mine.

It took Flame Gun twenty minutes to confirm that he wasn’t joking.

By then, Feng Tang also woke up, though his condition was worse than Flame Gun’s, only able to murmur weakly.

The two discussed briefly before obediently confessing.

Flame Gun genuinely wanted to avoid death, while Feng Tang feared the issue wasn’t contentious enough—he was truly disillusioned by his brother.

They indeed belonged to the Avengers Alliance, which in truth had existed for quite some time.

Initially, it was a loose group of the disenchanted, aimed merely at avenging adversaries.

However, over time, the number of people in the organization grew—the faults of the Imperial were truly manifold.

As the organization expanded, they absorbed more fresh blood and developed vigorously.

Moreover, this fostered a group of stubborn "Revenge Empire faction," and Feng Tang was one of them.

His grandfather’s grandfather was the Supreme of the Avengers Alliance, making it a family business.

The Flame Gun was only sponsored by the Alliance during his father’s cultivation, his talent was high, and he was drawn in.

He did not bear many expectations from elders, so he had no pressure, naturally had no pressure when jumping around.

To put it bluntly, personal disposition is one aspect, but historical influence weighs heavier.

This time, half-wa is indeed the core combat power of the Avengers Alliance released as bait by Ke Rui’an.

While Cyan Stone Supreme was just a fugitive taken in by the Alliance, and his recognition within the Alliance wasn’t particularly high.

Feng Tang and Flame Gun, these two Supremes, were the top combat power stored at the bottom of the Alliance, both with the ability to take on two.

That’s precisely why the Alliance would send the two of them to rescue people.

As for Ke Rui’an’s layout, the participants and the composition of the meat shield, the two of them really didn’t know.

However, regarding the "Divine Text Treasure" matter, they both indeed knew a bit.

The Flame Gun angrily stated, "That guy let out the rumor saying the Alliance got the Secret Technique for making Dharma Artifacts, it’s pure nonsense!"

Even Granny Jia couldn’t help but exclaim, "The Secret Technique for making Dharma Artifacts?"

If such a Secret Technique really existed, all qualified forces would all get involved in the scramble.

—Even if not seeking exclusivity, they must get a foot in!

Just think about it, not long ago Palamera got a flying cloth, how many people were envious?

At the very least, Granny Jia knew very well that both she and Qinghu were moved, and if Paranoid and Mu Yu were here, they wouldn’t be an exception.

Fortunately, the boss had strong self-control, stating what’s not mine I don’t want, don’t do things that aren’t proper, that’s why there was no fight.

Just for one Dharma Artifact, how much bigger could the stir be for the Secret Technique for making Dharma Artifacts?

"Not at all," Flame Gun shook his head, "recently there haven’t been many people from the Alliance going to Maiden Star Realm."

Qinghu thoughtfully looked at him, "Maybe it was acquired earlier on, your organization has existed for so long."

"How could it be?" Flame Gun shook his head decisively, "If that were the case, would the two of us lack Dharma Artifacts for protection?"

Actually, Ke Rui’an’s information was correct! Qu Jianlei asked quietly, "What’s with that Panda team then?"

"All self-directed and self-acted," Flame Gun scoffed, "Ke Rui’an just loves to play little tricks like that."

Then his face turned serious, "When it comes out seriously, it might indeed be the Panda team."

Qu Jianlei asked again, "Where have Cyan Stone and half-wa been active recently?"

After a moment’s hesitation, Flame Gun answered, "Mainly in Hope Star Realm... other Star Realms are strictly checking Supremes."

Hope Star Realm... might as well not have said anything? The room fell silent.

After a few seconds, Granny Jia sighed lightly, "Alright, let’s just ask to this point."

Nobody originally expected to find out much, rescuing these two Supremes was just incidental.

Flower Scorpion stepped forward, "Honorable Sirs, since we’ve rescued you, shouldn’t you show some appreciation?"

Feng Tang snorted twice, their intention unclear.

Yet Flame Gun straightforwardly stated, "It’s only proper, just let us know what you want."

Flower Scorpion didn’t want to bluntly ask for money, so she looked at Qu Jianlei.

"Forget it, just a few Storage Talismans," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "If there’s nothing else, let’s go."

Although he’s not interested in these two, the people were rescued, it was still a form of human kindness, no need to greed for those small items.

Flame Gun was a bit surprised by this.

This time they came out, prepared for unexpected situations, except for combat supplies, they really didn’t carry many things.

But the other party just straightforwardly left, which surprised him a bit.

"Friend, can you leave a name? We’re not ones who forget kindness without repayment."

Qu Jianlei raised his brow and casually replied, "It doesn’t matter, just treat it as the Panda team."

Flame Gun was startled at this but quickly understood, regardless of whether it’s true or not, they’re uninterested in further contact with our side.

But how can this be? He also has clear grievances, "Wait a moment..."

"Whether or not you’re the Panda team, you’d surely be willing to contact Senior Jia Shuqing, I have news of her relatives."

The old lady looked at him without any expression upon hearing this.

However, Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, "We just haven’t had the chance to contact Senior Jia Shuqing, explain more!"

Flame Gun replied, "She has a very talented junior named Zi Jiu Immortal, who originally taught at Green Water Academy."

He actually knew that the Panda team and Zi Jiu Immortal had connections, but there was no need to mention it.

"According to reliable information, Zi Jiu Immortal was originally conducting research with the Military on Star No.3, but went missing recently."
