Chapter 1291: The Director

The plot went berserk, and the comment section of 《The Legend of Tianhai Star》 was flooded with frenzied posts—viewers could no longer predict how the TV drama's story would unfold.

Before the premiere, the lengthy analyses by all the big shots were completely invalidated.

"What's going on? This new character knows they're filming a TV drama?"

"Come out, big shots, analyze this—did this absurd new character really never appear before?"

"I dare anyone to still say 《The Legend of Tianhai Star》's climax is boring, that you can guess the next step at a glance, that it's not either slaying the spirit to upgrade and defeat the king of strange beasts, or Shi Lingyun breaking through to defeat the king of strange beasts!"

Viewers eagerly typed their thoughts—it was so thrilling, today's plot was truly too thrilling!

The director and crew felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over them, chilled to the bone.

"How did he discover the camera!?"

Nano-level cameras absolutely cannot be discerned by the human eye.

As the backbone of everyone, the director calmed down first: "He must be carrying some kind of scanner that detected the camera."

"Don't panic—he can only speak to us one-sidedly through the camera; he has no idea where we are!"

"Even Ma Jie doesn't know Tianhai Star's position in the Star Alliance, so capturing him would be useless!"

Upon hearing this, the crew found it reasonable and gradually calmed down.

……

"Mr. President, what do you want to say? For instance, who's really behind you, and where are they?" Lu Yang drank his tea in one gulp, set down the cup, savored the aftertaste—flavor ordinary, toxicity also ordinary.

The faces of the seven members of the Salvation Squad changed dramatically; as top-tier experts, they possessed not only peak combat power but also IQs far beyond ordinary people. Though Lu Yang didn't directly explain the situation, a few words were enough for them to infer his meaning.

The president's ashen face further confirmed their guess!

They now couldn't figure out: if everything is just being filmed for a TV drama, what's real and what's fake?

Are only the seven of us kept in the dark, or is the entire Tianhai Star being kept in the dark?!

What does all we've experienced amount to—just a joke to amuse people?!

"President Ma Jie, answer Mr. Lu's question!"

The perpetually grim-faced Ma President, who had remained silent, revealed a hint of a smile: "Mr. Lu, you're truly an unexpected variable."

He pointed to his mouth, expression ferocious: "I have a nuclear bomb remote controller and locator in my teeth—I advise you to let me go, or else I'll bite down the remote button, and the nuclear bomb will launch here—then we'll all perish together!"

Exposing the TV drama filming must not fall into the enemy's hands—even if Lu Yang doesn't settle scores with him, the Salvation Squad and all the people of Tianhai Star could drown him in spit!

As the former leader of the Top Ten Masters, Ma President isn't just a plot setup—he genuinely possesses this strength; even if Zhan Po and the fully strengthened Shi Lingyun teamed up, they still wouldn't be his match.

But he also knows he can't possibly be a match for Lu Yang, who can eliminate all strange beasts in one move—for now, his only option is to flee!

He has the highest-grade anti-tracking device and signal simulator on him—even if Lu Yang uses a scanner, he won't be found!

The Salvation Squad and others were torn apart—if the nuclear bomb explodes here, the entire city will die, but if we just let Ma President go like this, we're utterly unwilling!

As everyone hesitated, Ma President's sleeve dropped two smoke bombs that blocked everyone's view; laughter came from the smoke, then faded.

When the smoke cleared, everyone saw Lu Yang stepping on Ma President's face, his teeth shattered across the ground.

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow: "If you run, where am I supposed to put my face?"

"How is this possible!?"

Ma President was shocked—he released smoke bombs while simultaneously creating several simulated signals; how could Lu Yang possibly find him?

Is the other side's technology really that much higher!?

"I can tell you who's behind me—I'm a citizen of the Star Alliance, my backer is the Alliance TV Station—I advise you to let me go, or else when the Star Fleet arrives, you'll definitely be the one who dies!"

"Star Alliance?" Lu Yang heard an interesting term—it sounded like a cosmic behemoth force, with technology likely far surpassing Tianhai Star's.

Perfect—bring the Star Alliance's technology to the Cultivation Realm to benefit the common people.

But Ma Jie President isn't cooperating with the interrogation—it's a hassle. Direct soul-search would turn him into an idiot, too cheap for him, and Tianhai Star would lose one enemy to avenge.

Without soul-searching, we won't know the Star Alliance's location.

Suddenly Lu Yang noticed the still-recording nano camera—he could feel it constantly transmitting some kind of signal, probably electromagnetic waves or some unheard-of new term, but that doesn't matter; what matters is that the other end of the camera should be linked to the Star Alliance.

He picked up a grain of the camera, pondering—this frightened the crew at the other end into constant panic.

Soon reason overcame emotion—they had no need to fear, Lu Yang could only send one-way messages, and couldn't possibly find them.

Not a single word wrong, not a single thread off, not a single shot missed, not a single detail omitted, not a single thing out of place—everything perfectly aligned!

"Trace back."

Lu Yang spoke words no one understood—the Nascent Form of the Traceback Dao Fruit locked onto the nano camera; a line extending to the other end of the starry sky appeared before him, visible only to him, not even to the Immortal Maiden.

"As expected, I can find the camera's source."

Lu Yang found the Traceback Dao Fruit Nascent Form increasingly convenient the more he used it.

Lu Yang kicked Ma President toward the Salvation Squad: "This guy's yours—I'm going to that place called the Star Alliance."

"Mr. Lu..."

Without even giving time to say goodbye, Lu Yang eagerly summoned the black-canopied boat, boarded it, leapt through space, and sailed along the camera's extending line toward the Star Alliance.

On Tianhai Star, there's nothing left threatening the Salvation Squad—no need to worry about Tianhai Star for now. The Star Alliance's situation is unknown; wasting time letting the crew escape would be disastrous.

"What do we do? What do we do—is he coming here!?" The crew descended into chaos, utterly unable to comprehend Lu Yang's methods.

Just how far has the other side's technology developed—how could it be like immortals?!

The director again calmed the scene: "Don't panic—you all know how far Tianhai Star is from the Alliance, with countless asteroid belts in between—it won't fly over that fast!"

"Let's quickly call the police, or get the higher-ups to deploy the military!"

Being caught by the Alliance government is infinitely better than being captured by mysterious extraterrestrials—Lu Yang used his connections, so he definitely won't get the death penalty, but being caught by this extraterrestrial? Who knows what'll happen.

"Exactly, exactly—alien attack on us equals terrorism—no, this is foreign invasion—hurry and get the government to protect us!"

Just as everyone prepared to contact the outside world for help, they heard a boom from above—the roof was lifted open, the 《Legend of Tianhai Star》 promotional banner standing on the roof was thrown before them, and a light boat glided downstream under the moonlight.

An ancient-clothed extraterrestrial with hands in his sleeves piloted the black-canopied boat down upon the Star Alliance.
