NOVPUBWhoosh—
Even though Fang Ao believed that the other party’s strength was significantly inferior to theirs, just in case, he teleported alone to Tianzhu Star to consult his subordinates.
Caution—this was his virtue, one which had allowed him to reach the position he was in now.
His followers on Tianzhu Star were just some Level 5 Cultivators, covert agents prepared for emergencies. They were outside the scope of Lin Yun’s previous roundup, hence they were still free to send Fang Ao information.
"My Lord, you’ve finally returned!" Seeing Fang Ao appear before them, these men quickly kneeled and greeted him excitedly.
"My Lord, our planet has been taken over! Many of our elders and deacons have been killed, and many strong ones have been captured by them!" One individual said with tears streaming down his face.
"My Lord!!!"
"Please take action for us, My Lord!!!"
Around him, individuals started falling to their knees, bowing their heads deeply in respect.
"I see, don’t worry. As for those who dared to invade our planet, I promise to leave them with no place to be buried!" Fang Ao nodded slightly, saying.
"Now, I want to ask you, do you know the exact strength and situation of the enemy? The last time, I left you with some equipment, did you record anything?" After pondering for a moment, Fang Ao questioned."
Just now, while he was in space, he didn’t inquire about these things because he wasn’t sure of the strength of the enemy. He didn’t know if his exchange of information with these minions would be intercepted.
If it were intercepted, they’d be startling the snake in the grass.
Upon seeing the enemy’s top-tier battleship of a Level 6 technological civilization, he was even more relieved of his decision.
If the enemy were startled and fled, it would be very hard for him to catch up.
They all had top-tier battleships of a Level 6 technological civilization. Only his teleportation in the accelerated space layer could catch up, but the energy consumption for that teleportation was immense.
If the distance were too great, it was very likely that his body’s energy would be depleted before he could catch up.
"We have it, we have it. This is the image and data we secretly recorded. Some of the elders and deacons were captured by them, then controlled by some means. They couldn’t harbor any thoughts of betrayal, or else they would have been discovered and consequently, killed..." An underling promptly responded. Midway through his reporting, he suddenly recalled something and added it.
"Controlled by some means, unable to harbor thoughts of betrayal?" Fang Ao frowned slightly.
This method was extraordinary, and bore a striking resemblance to certain cultivation techniques and special technologies. But he didn’t bother about it soon after. These elders and deacons, at their strongest, were only Level 7 Cultivators.
Even if those people were controlled, what was the big deal?
In the face of absolute power, the roles those people played were negligible.
Once he brought down the enemies, then all they had to do was release those elders and deacons from their control.
Thinking about this, Fang Ao opened the recorded images and data from his subordinates.
Therein, he saw footage of Star Blue operating a spaceship to Tianzhu Star, the capture of strong fighters on Tianzhu Star by Moon One, Lin Yun and Star Blue’s skirmish on the stage, likewise, videos of Lin Yun’s duel with Lin Mengmeng, Lin Yun’s fight with Moon One, and so on...
However, they mostly only had images and data, but no sound.
"Is this an early Stage 9 Martial Artist? The person next to him, guarding the stage, also seems to possess the power of a Stage 9 Martial Artist?" Suddenly, Fang Ao was slightly surprised while watching the footage of Moon One and Moon Two.
A Martial Artist. This was not uncommon amongst Cultivators, but there weren’t many Stage 9 Martial Artists.
Because a Martial Artist’s Qi is unique, if they could close the distance to the enemy’s battleship, they could even hurt the people inside the battleship, provided the battleship’s class wasn’t excessively high.
Even a high-level Stage 9 Martial Artist would gain the attention of the Kodis Royal Family. When he went to the imperial family, he happened to meet a peak Stage 9 Martial Artist whose status was no less than that of the Stage 10 Cultivators.
Just that, the path of the Martial Artist was difficult to cultivate.
The rarity of high-level Stage 9 Martial Artists was greater than the number of Stage 10 Cultivators.
"If they had reached the peak of Stage 9, I might have had some reservations. But only early Stage 9, I don’t consider them at all. Is this their highest martial power?" Fang Ao laughed coldly, saying,
From these images, he saw leaders with only the strength of Level 6, 7, or 8 Cultivators, and others with authority were mostly of that realm as well.
This made him belittle the enemy ever more.
If this was what their leaders were like, then their subordinates likely only reached the early stage of Level 9.
Moon Two hadn’t made many moves, thus, Fang Ao was not aware that Moon Two had the strength of a peak Stage 9 Martial Artist.
If he knew, he might have been a little wary.
If their subordinates had such great power, then their ranks might not be low.
But if it was only early Stage 9, then the meaning behind was rather different.
Especially since they had battleships of a Level 2, 3, and 5 technological civilization mixed in, just like a ragtag army, this made him suspect that the enemy might be a cultivation civilization group.
Just like him back then, despite his formidable strength, the battleship he started with was of a rather low level.
"Even if you have some background, by invading my home planet, the justice is on my side." Fang Ao’s eyes flashed coldly as he murmured.
The other party might have some background, but it was still within his means. Read exclusive adventures at freewebnovel
In a radius of two to three hundred million light-years, there were only about ten or so Level 10 Cultivators, and he was one of them. He had the confidence to handle it.
"Let me meet these people!"
Whooosh—
The next moment, Fang Ao’s figure disappeared.
…
Just as Fang Ao teleported to Tianzhu Star, Lin Yun inside a battleship on Tianzhu Star immediately looked up at a screen.
There, images of Fang Ao with his subordinates appeared.
Originally, the equipment left by Fang Ao on Tianzhu Star was not that advanced. Not to mention the high-grade detection equipment deployed by Lin Yun on Tianzhu Star, just the various devices aboard this top-grade battleship from a sixth-level technological civilization were not inferior.
He had discovered their movements long ago.
However, he had not said it out loud.
If Fang Ao didn’t want to alert the snake in the grass, why should he?
He had been staying on Tianzhu Star, not leaving, wasn’t he just waiting for them to come back?
If they became alert and didn’t return, that would be the real trouble.
Now it seemed, the other party was indeed a cautious person, not directly communicating with his subordinates on Tianzhu Star, but directly teleporting to Tianzhu Star to contact them.
In particular, the other party’s power had reached the level ten domain.
To be able to achieve this was even more commendable.
"Level ten initial stage..."
In the depths of Lin Yun’s eyes, a ray of light flickered, and he murmured.
The other party’s strength had actually exceeded the rank nine domain.
Fortunately, he hadn’t overlooked it and directly purchased Yang One, who had the strength of a mid-stage level-ten Martial Artist.
Otherwise, if he had only purchased a robot with the strength of an early stage level-ten martial artist, and if the other party was a bit more carefree and attacked directly, he might have been caught off guard. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
Robots were, after all, robots. Although their data was as good as a human’s, in a real fight, they might be slightly inferior to humans.
This was particularly evident among high-level cultivators.
This was even more so as the robot Lin Yun bought had the strength of a martial artist.
The strength of a martial artist at the same level is slightly higher than that of other cultivators.
If Lin Yun had bought a robot with the strength of a different cultivator, the gap would have been even greater. He might have been suppressed by the other party from beginning to end and finally annihilated.
"However, whether this person is a regular cultivator or not, whether Yang One, who only has the strength of a mid-stage level-ten Martial Artist, can defeat him or not..." Lin Yun quickly furrowed his brows.
He had been overly conservative.
Though high-level cultivators who could challenge across ranks were few, they weren’t nonexistent, and there was a difference between defeating and capturing or killing.
If he couldn’t capture or kill this person, he wouldn’t feel safe leaving here.
"If I sell Yang One and buy another robot with the late-stage level-ten martial artist strength, I’m going to lose a lot of money on Yang One..." Lin Yun shook his head.
Once these things were bought and sold again, they became second-hand, and the price difference was substantial. It was a big loss.
And finding a buyer in a short time was not easy.
He knew a lot of Cosmic Trading System masters, but none of them had a good enough relationship to casually buy a robot with the strength of a mid-stage level-ten Martial Artist. Those with slightly better relationships didn’t even have the money.
"Might as well buy another robot. There’s no rush to sell Yang One. Furthermore, I’ve only seen the strength of that Fang Ao. What if there are other powerful beings on those three battleships?"
Lin Yun quickly made up his mind.
Fortunately, he had prepared for this battle. The funds just now weren’t enough, so he had just liquidated some resources. Now he had a surplus of over 800 million Spirit Crystals.
Buy the highest level one!
Buy a robot with the strength of a peak level-ten Martial Artist!
A flash of bright light twinkled in Lin Yun’s eyes.
Five hundred billion, seven hundred billion, there’s only a two hundred billion difference!
If he bought another robot with the strength of a late-stage level-ten Martial Artist, and it wasn’t strong enough, he wouldn’t have money to buy a higher-level robot!
Better do it all at once!
"Ha, lad, you got guts!" It was still that store, still that shopkeeper. The robot with the strength of a peak level-ten Martial Artist was the most expensive item in his shop. Seeing Lin Yun just buy a robot with the strength of a mid-stage level-ten Martial Artist, and then buy another robot of this level immediately, the owner couldn’t help but smile and say,
"How about this, I’ll give you a 4% discount. Gee, nowadays, there aren’t many Cosmic Trading System owners with taste like you. I see a bright future for you. Keep an eye on my business in the future. With familiarity, we can negotiate the price if the quantity is high enough!" After a pause, the shopkeeper continued with a smile.
