Chapter 71: Nuo Lan Shan

In the Virtual Universe, inside a lavishly decorated massive castle, a quiet room.

Yu Ke Nuo Lan Shan is watching the video message sent by Pu La; what interests him most is not the Earth survival bases, nor the Stellar-level slaves, but a combat video.

Precisely, it is a combat video of Earth lord Xiao Yu fighting a young Golden Horn Beast.

"Beep!"

Yu Ke Nuo Lan Shan dials the communication channel of the clan's first patriarch Nuo Lan Shan.

The video on the big screen suddenly darkens, and a figure of a man in dark‑green combat armor appears.

Current clan head Yu Ke Nuo Lan Shan bows respectfully and says, "Teacher!"

The person before him is the founder of the Nuo Lan Shan clan, a Universe-level Ninth Tier strongman, and holder of the title "Great Axe Warrior."

Great Axe Warrior is an honor bestowed by the Great Axe Battle Arena, one of the five major powers of the Universe‑level Human Race, upon its combatants.

Across the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, only twelve living individuals have ever earned the "Universe-level Great Axe Warrior" title.

In the Great Axe Battle Arena, participants are called "Combatants"; ten victories grant the title "Warrior"; a hundred victories grant "Combat King"; a thousand victories grant "Great Axe Warrior."

The arena's contests are divided into two types: "Combat" for Universe-level and above, and "Blood Combat" for below Universe-level.

In Blood Combat, there are wins and losses; one may surrender.

Combat, however, has no win or loss, only life or death.

This means that under Nuo Lan Shan's hand, at least a thousand Universe-level beings have lost their precious lives.

"What's the matter?" Nuo Lan Shan asked with authority.

"Teacher, Earth appears to have had a juvenile Golden Horn Beast, but it has already been slain," Yu Ke Nuo Lan Shan reported.

"What? A juvenile Golden Horn Beast!" Nuo Lan Shan exclaimed. As a Great Axe Warrior, his friends and horizons are extraordinary. He knows that a juvenile Golden Horn Beast corpse is a rare commodity that even Immortal strongmen would buy, and Qian Wu Universe Country would certainly purchase it for dissection and study.

"Yu Ke, who is currently near Earth?" Nuo Lan Shan asked.

"Pu La." Yu Ke Nuo Lan Shan replied: "However, Teacher, Earth hosts hundreds of Stellar-level Ninth Tier warriors and Spiritual Mind Masters, as well as a great number of Stellar-level First Tier warriors; these are all slaves purchased by Xiao Yu, and it is said that two Universe-Level slaves constantly accompany Xiao Yu."

"What?" Nuo Lan Shan was shocked. That kid Xiao Yu must have obtained the legendary treasure left by a strongman. By his conjecture, the strongman who secluded on Earth tens of thousands of years ago was at least an Immortal Divine Spirit, and the treasure left by an Immortal Divine Spirit would be immensely rich!

Nuo Lan Shan felt greedy, yet worried that the Immortal Divine Spirit might have left some means that could annihilate invading foes.

Soon, Nuo Lan Shan made up his mind: "Alright, I understand. I'll have De Wen go investigate, and you keep Pu La on Earth to coordinate!"

"Understood. Inform me of any developments."

One day later.

The jet‑black Guo Tai ship slowly approached Earth.

After Guo Tai landed at the Xiao Family annex, Xiao Yu, Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng stepped out one after another.

"Finally back!" Lei Shen sighed. Though the outing was brief, the process was not simple.

"Alright, everyone, keep a close watch these few days; I fear the matter isn't over yet," Xiao Yu said.

"Indeed, although that spaceship remains parked on Mars with no activity for now, it doesn't mean trouble won't arise later," Luo Feng said.

"What's meant to happen will happen; at least we're back now, and with two Universe-level Fifth Tier strongmen positioned, there should be no mishap," Hong said.

"That's hard to say," Xiao Yu replied.

"Hey, not to blame you, but Xiao Yu, why do you always wear a single eye‑patch?" Lei Shen asked suddenly.

"Yeah, ever since attending the wedding of me and Xu Xin, I noticed it," Luo Feng said.

Hong said nothing, but kept his gaze on Xiao Yu.

"Which one? My eye has some issues," Xiao Yu said, removing the eye‑patch; a rich violet light radiated outward.

"What's this? Just one glance makes me dizzy," Luo Feng stared at Xiao Yu's right eye, feeling the runes there as mysterious as Secret Patterns; a single look left him reeling.

An eye that can pierce heaven and earth, gazing straight at the laws, is no ordinary eye.

Xiao Yu put the eye‑patch back on his right eye and said, "Alright, in a couple of days we'll visit those people again, give them a little time."

The four then returned home separately.

Luo Feng, newly married and naturally eager, flew straight back to the neighboring house; before returning, he had already sent the news to Xu Xin via the Virtual Universe.

Since starting her company, Xu Xin's schedule has been very flexible; she is now at home waiting for Luo Feng.

When Xiao Yu returned home, he saw his mother cradling his five‑month‑old brother, rocking his upper body while patting him.

"Listen, son, you're 22 now; you should hurry and find a girlfriend," mother Xu Jingyi said.

"Mom!" Xiao Yu shouted, stretching the syllable.

"There are some age‑appropriate women in Mingyue Community; in a couple of days I'll find a matchmaker to set you up," mother Xu Jingyi continued.

"Mom, you don't need to worry about this; I can handle it myself," Xiao Yu said.

For now Xiao Yu has been occupied with cultivation and hasn't met anyone suitable; moreover, in his past life he was married, and he hopes to resume that bond after he returns.

Xiao Yu stayed at home for a day, then went out again; this time he visited the 31st civilization relic in Huaxia Nation's Shenlong Ridge—the Insect Tribe Mother Nest.

It is a massive spherical mountain, exuding copious toxic gas; it is said that even a Universe-level being would die approaching it.

The Insect Tribe Mother Nest is ranked at the Peak Realm Lord Level; its Insect Queen, Irina, remains asleep. Otherwise, not only would Earth cease to exist, the entire galaxy would be gone.

"System: Scanning the Insect Tribe Mother Nest ahead."

【Setting successful!】

【Second Wish: Scan Insect Tribe Mother Nest (1 Wish Silver Coin).】

【1 Wish Silver Coin deducted successfully!】

【Wish fulfilled.】

An invisible wave of energy sweeps across the Insect Tribe Mother Nest.

In the core of the Insect Tribe Mother Nest lies a spacious cavity about a hundred meters in diameter, within which a life lies sleeping.

Her whole body is pale and semi‑transparent, like crystal formed into a delicate frame; she stands about twelve meters tall, with a pair of wings resembling butterfly wings that wrap her slender form like a thin veil. Her curvaceous figure seems to rival the creation of heaven and earth, and even while asleep, her brows remain slightly furrowed.

The invisible energy passes, and the tip of her brow twitches.
