Chapter 411: Arrival of the Subordinates

While Morris and the giants from the Federal Parliament and Military eagerly awaited, a Large Battleship appeared at the coordinates.

The giants from the Federal Parliament and Military immediately stepped forward to greet it.

Morris, however, floated in place, waiting.

For him, personally rushing over to welcome a group of subordinates was already quite a disadvantage.

He could not bring himself to go directly to the door of the Large Battleship for a welcome.

Soon, the hatch opened.

One by one, the members of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe flew out from the entrance.

Each of them stood over a hundred meters tall, exuding an incredibly strong aura.

“I am Lu Qingxian, Parliament Chairman of the Federation, and I welcome you all on behalf of the entire human federation!”

Lu Qingxian, as the representative, immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

The group of Tree-Dwelling Tribe members paid Lu Qingxian and the others no mind, quickly sensing Morris not far away.

They hurriedly flew towards him.

“Greetings, Lord!”

More than three hundred Tree-Dwelling Tribe members saluted Morris.

In their hearts, they cursed Morris’s ancestors eighteen generations back.

Unlike the members of the foreign affairs department, who held deep superstitions about this star cluster, they were aware that their boss was a member of that department.

They had some connections there.

They knew about the rumors of a conflict between this star cluster and the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.

Though they held some doubt, they equally did not wish to come.

Unfortunately, they were subordinates in Morris’s territory.

Morris held their lives in his hands.

If they didn’t come, even if Morris killed them all, it would only bring him slightly worse reputation.

“Hmm! Let’s not waste time. Get onto the Large Battleship arranged for you and head to the exile planet to gather the energy aura of the strongest members of humanity.”

Morris nodded and made the arrangements.

“Yes!”

The group of Tree-Dwelling Tribe members respectfully nodded.

They awaited the arrival of the arranged Large Battleship.

It was not convenient for them to fly directly to the exile planet due to their varying strength realms and speeds; they preferred to ride the Large Battleship to the edge of the cosmic storm zone first.

Then they would fly to the exile planet.

Thus, even if they maintained the speed of the weakest member of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, they would reach their destination in just half an hour.

As for the Large Battleship they had used before, it would require more than ten hours of maintenance and recharging after a teleport before it could continue to use the Space Jump System.

Morris clearly did not want to wait that long.

Lu Qingxian and the other giants hurriedly contacted the already-prepared Large Battleship to have it come over.

…

“Master, the one in the middle is the Tree-Dwelling Tribe member who specializes in tracking and searching. His strength realm is around level one hundred seventy-five. It will be slightly difficult for me to kill him in one strike.”

Nearby, the Shadow King transmitted all the images he sensed to Yi Chen through his Perception Ability.

“It’s fine. I will drain his luck. Even if he doesn’t die, he will have to die. Stay close; I’ll drain his luck first.”

“Yes!”

The Shadow King immediately locked onto the one hundred seventy-five level Tree-Dwelling Tribe member.

Yi Chen did not use the luck he extracted from the principles of heaven and earth on himself during this period.

Last time, he drew luck directly from Morris, and even though he had improved the Luck Technique, his realm was far below what it was now.

Thus, he needed to expend all his Luck Techniques to increase the success rate without being noticed by Morris.

At the moment, that was unnecessary.

As his realm increased, his Luck Technique not only allowed him to extract luck faster but also significantly enhanced its silent function, and he was not extracting luck from Morris.

After confirming his target, he unhesitatingly activated the Luck Technique, linking it to the one hundred seventy-five level Tree-Dwelling Tribe member.

Green luck surged towards him like a tide.

It quickly gathered into large clusters in his vast Qi Sea, increasing rapidly.

After more than ten minutes, the arranged Large Battleship slowly arrived.

The hatch opened.

Morris was the first to enter the Large Battleship, followed by the other Tree-Dwelling Tribe members.

Then came the giants from the Federal Parliament and Military.

No one knew that the Shadow King, along with Yi Chen, silently followed them into the Large Battleship.

Yi Chen was continuously draining the luck from one of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members.

Though the quality of the luck from this level one hundred seventy-five Tree-Dwelling Tribe member was not very high, the quantity was still quite good.

Even though Yi Chen had now broken through to the Yuan Immortal realm, significantly increasing the speed of his Luck Technique, it would still take some time to completely drain the other’s luck.

The Large Battleship began to accelerate.

Once it reached faster-than-light speed and was no longer affected by the gravity of surrounding stars, it activated the Space Jump System.

In the next moment, they appeared at the edge of the cosmic storm zone.

At Morris’s command, all the Tree-Dwelling Tribe members left the Large Battleship.

Using their powerful bodies, they swiftly traversed the cosmic storm zone, heading directly for the exile planet.

Morris also wrapped Lu Qingxian and the others in energy, taking them to the exile planet, moving leisurely alongside the three hundred Tree-Dwelling Tribe members.

Even though they maintained the speed of the slowest Tree-Dwelling Tribe member, they arrived at the exile planet in less than half an hour.

Everyone gathered at the Flame Mountain range.

“In that cave, you can collect items that have been used and touched by the strongest members of humanity.”

Morris looked at the one hundred seventy-five level Tree-Dwelling Tribe member and said, “Tosman, it’s up to you!”

“Lord, rest assured, I will not fail in my mission!”

Tosman’s face was filled with respect, but he felt a flicker of excitement in his heart.

Out of the three hundred Tree-Dwelling Tribe members, he was the only one willing to come.

This was because Morris had promised him a substantial reward if he successfully found the strongest member of humanity.

In his eyes, the so-called substantial reward hardly matched the term "substantial."

But it was still enough; even if he could choose freely, it would be enough for him to willingly make this trip.

His tracking and searching techniques primarily involved following the items that the target had used.

“Shadow King, he won’t be able to detect my distance, will he?”

While continuing to extract luck from Tosman, Yi Chen transmitted his thoughts to the Shadow King.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. Based on the intelligence gathered, he can only track your general direction, not the exact distance,” the Shadow King explained.

“That’s great!”

Yi Chen felt relieved.

From the Video Clip transmitted by the Shadow King using his Perception Ability, Yi Chen could see that Tosman had already entered the cave.

That cave was where he had spent most of his first half-year after arriving at the exile planet.

Stolen from him were the Methods and Principles of Techniques etched on the stone wall.

There were fruit seeds, now moldy and blackened, left in the corner.

At the end of the valley, there was the conveniently dug pit he had made.

Everything inside was filled with memories, making him reflect on how quickly time had passed.

His own changes had also been unimaginably great.

Of course, while reminiscing, Yi Chen did not forget to continue extracting Tosman’s luck.

Meanwhile, after some investigation, Tosman decisively decided to use the readily available fruit seeds as the medium for his final technique.

Because he was certain these fruit seeds were discarded by Yi Chen.

Energy surged.

An invisible force wrapped around three fruit seeds and followed Tosman out of the cave.

The Shadow King immediately took Yi Chen and created some distance.
