Chapter 172

"However, our Luo Fu has just experienced a great war and suffered heavy losses; wanting to recover our vitality in a short time is easier said than done, right?" An elder said with a bitter face.

Everyone was silent upon hearing this; they all knew very well that the current situation of Luo Fu could be described as "internal and external troubles."

Externally, there are "Stellaron Hunters" eyeing them covetously, and internally, there are many problems that need to be solved; it can be said to be a thousand threads and a hundred knots, full of difficulties.

"Fellow elders, don't worry too much; I believe that as long as we are united as one and overcome difficulties together, we will definitely be able to get through this!" Jing Yuan stood out and said loudly 357.

Although these words of his were clichés, everyone present was deeply encouraged. That's right, as long as they work together, what difficulty can't be overcome?

"Young Master is right! We Luo Fu people have never been afraid of difficulties!"

"That's right! We will definitely overcome all difficulties and rebuild our home!"

Everyone spoke up one after another, their tone firm and full of confidence.

Seeing this scene, a burning fire ignited in Jing Yuan's heart. He secretly vowed to lead Luo Fu toward a more glorious future!

Just when everyone in Luo Fu was working for the future, the headquarters of the "Stellaron Hunters" was a different scene.

"Bang!"

A figure wearing a black robe and a hideous mask slammed the wine glass in his hand, and the scarlet wine splashed everywhere, as violent as his current mood.

"Damn 'Tian Quan'! Actually daring to ruin my good deed! If I don't avenge this, I, 'Faceless Man,' swear I won't be a human!"

This person was the number two figure of the "Stellaron Hunters"—"Faceless Man," and also the general commander of this attack on Luo Fu.

172. 【Hope you don't let me down!】

He had originally thought that this attack on Luo Fu was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that "Tian Quan" would appear halfway, not only destroying his plan but also causing him heavy losses!

What's most hateful is that before "Tian Quan" left, he also took away the "Black Heaven Emperor's" corpse, leaving him without even a chance for revenge!

"'Tian Quan,' you just wait! One day, I will make you pay a thousand times the price!" 【172-1

The "Faceless Man" said through gritted teeth, a look of resentment flashing in his eyes.

"And you, Jing Yuan! Don't you get cocky, kid; one day, I will tear you to pieces with my own hands!"

The "Faceless Man" clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, and blood flowed down between his fingers, yet he did not notice it at all, as if he could not feel the pain.

His heart was filled with the flames of hatred, and these flames were constantly scorching his reason, making him increasingly insane!

Meanwhile, the Xianzhou Alliance headquarters was also buzzing with discussion over the death of the "Black Heaven Emperor."

"Did Lord 'Heavenly Authority' go a bit too far this time? Although the 'Black Heaven Emperor' was guilty of heinous crimes, his sins didn't warrant death, did they?"

"That's right, the 'Black Heaven Emperor' was a formidable overlord after all; dying just like this is letting him off too easily!"

"Was Lord 'Heavenly Authority's' move this time a bit reckless? Is he not afraid of the 'Stellaron Hunters'' retaliation?"

The elders of the Xianzhou Alliance were discussing Lord "Heavenly Authority's" actions, with opinions divided.

"Enough!"

Just then, a majestic voice resounded through the great hall, and instantly, all discussion ceased abruptly, as if it had been forcibly choked off by an invisible giant hand!

Everyone looked up to see Lord "Tai Sui" sitting at the head of the great hall, his face gloomy and cold light flashing in his eyes, like a lion about to fly into a rage, making people shudder.

"Lord 'Heavenly Authority' has his own reasons for his actions; is this something you short-sighted people can recklessly discuss?!"

Lord "Tai Sui" let out a cold snort, his voice echoing in the great hall like rolling thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

"We dare not!"

Hearing this, everyone was terrified out of their wits, hurriedly kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"Hmph!"

Lord "Tai Sui" ignored them further and instead cast his gaze outside the great hall, his eyes flickering with complex light.

"'Heavenly Authority,' what exactly are you planning?"

The atmosphere at the Xianzhou Alliance headquarters was so oppressive it felt solidified; one could hear a pin drop.

"Tai Sui" stood in the center of the great hall with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep, wondering what he was thinking.

"What exactly is that old fellow 'Heavenly Authority' up to?"

"Although the 'Black Heaven Emperor' committed many evils, his crimes didn't warrant death, let alone triggering 'Heavenly Punishment'—this will alarm the laws of the universe!"

Is "Heavenly Authority" not afraid of provoking the "Stellaron Hunters'" insane retaliation by doing this?

Is he not afraid of sparking an all-out war between the Xianzhou Alliance and the "Stellaron Hunters"?

The more "Tai Sui" thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and a sense of unease rose faintly in his heart.

"Someone come!"

"Tai Sui" shouted in a deep voice, his tone echoing in the great hall like a thunderclap.

"I am here!"

A general wearing silver battle armor walked quickly into the great hall, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully.

"Pass down the order: monitor the movements of the 'Stellaron Hunters' closely, and report to me immediately at the slightest sign of trouble!"

"Tai Sui's" tone was serious and unquestionable.

"Yes!"

The general received the order and left.

"'Heavenly Authority,' I hope you don't disappoint me!"

"Tai Sui" gazed at the deep starry sky outside the window and muttered to himself, an inexplicable light flickering in his eyes.

173. 【Take the Initiative, Lure the Snake Out of its Hole!】

On the "Heavenly Authority" starship.

"Heavenly Authority" sat cross-legged in the quiet room, holding a black sphere in his hand—it was the "Stellaron" recovered from the "Black Heaven Emperor."

Although the "Black Heaven Emperor" was powerful, in the eyes of "Heavenly Authority," he was nothing more than a clown who could be easily wiped out.

What "Heavenly Authority" truly feared was the force behind the "Black Heaven Emperor"!

Although the "Stellaron Hunters" were just a loose organization, its members were spread throughout the entire universe, and every one of them was a vicious criminal.

As the leader of the "Stellaron Hunters," the "Black Heaven Emperor" must have possessed many unknown secrets and might even have been colluding with some forces hidden in the shadows!

If "Heavenly Authority" had killed the "Black Heaven Emperor" directly, it might have alerted the enemy, allowing those hidden forces to take notice; at that point, wiping them all out would be even more difficult!

Therefore, "Heavenly Authority" deliberately triggered "Heavenly Punishment" to execute the "Black Heaven Emperor," creating the illusion of "divine retribution" to paralyze those hidden forces.

The death of the "Black Heaven Emperor" appeared to be an impulsive act by "Heavenly Authority," but in reality, it was a decision made after careful deliberation.

What "Heavenly Authority" wanted was not just the life of the "Black Heaven Emperor," but to uproot the "Stellaron Hunters" entirely and eliminate the threat forever!

And all of this was just the first step in "Heavenly Authority's" plan!

"Next, it's your turn..."

"Heavenly Authority" slowly opened his eyes, cold light flickering within them like a drawn sword capable of piercing through all the conspiracies and schemes in the world.

Luo Fu, Council Hall.

"Young Master, what should we do next?"

Yanqing looked at Jing Yuan and asked.

Although the "Stellaron Hunters" had been repelled, they certainly wouldn't give up, and Luo Fu had to prepare as soon as possible to meet the next wave of challenges!

"That's right, Young Master, we cannot sit and wait for death; we must take the initiative!"

Jing Yuan also said, his tone filled with worry.

They had already witnessed the strength of the "Stellaron Hunters," and if they were allowed to make a comeback, Luo Fu would likely find it hard to resist!

"Take the initiative?"

Hearing this, Jing Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "The 'Stellaron Hunters' are powerful and their movements are mysterious; how could it be easy to find their lair?"

"Even if we could find their lair, with our current strength, we likely wouldn't be their match."

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?"

Yanqing said somewhat anxiously.

"Of course not."

Jing Yuan shook his head, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes as he said: "Don't the 'Stellaron Hunters' want to obtain our Luo Fu's 'Stellaron'? Then we shall give them an opportunity!"

"Young Master, you mean..."

Yanqing seemed to have thought of something, but was not quite sure.
