Ten thousand meters above the black giant star, the sun shines and there is no darkness.
The time, however, is midnight on the three planets.
Zheng Ya hovered in the air in his interstellar spaceship, waiting, while Wu Wei acted as the commentator, talking animatedly and eloquently about the benefits of the aristocratic families moving into Black Giant Star.
The hundred or so people in the audience listened with great interest, occasionally chiming in with a word or two, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
Only Zheng Ya, with her faint smile, concealed an uneasy heart.
The powerful families are coming, and I'm so nervous!
For better or for worse, fate will be rewritten today!
A tremor ran through space, and eleven gates of light appeared out of thin air, dazzlingly bright and almost outshining the sun.
The dazzling light lasted for three to five seconds, and when it dissipated, it revealed eleven teams.
Each team consisted of thirty people, and they moved with astonishing uniformity, all of them floating in the air as they walked.
It may seem ordinary, but anyone with a little knowledge of space knows that a superhuman who can walk in space must have a high level of cultivation.
With a "buzzing" sound, Zheng Ya and Wu Wei emerged from their interstellar spaceship and hovered in the air to welcome their arrival.
But before Zheng Ya and Wu Wei could speak, the leaders of the two leading teams out of the eleven opposing teams confronted them: "Eagle King, you entered this starry sky without Zheng Ya's invitation, violating the official rules..."
“Prince Ning, you and I both know that rules are meant to strangle the weak, not to restrict the strong. Why bother with your words and offend our ears…” The Eagle King was thin and tall, with a sharp and piercing voice. His body vibrated like a reed in the void, creating layers of faint golden light.
Military intimidation, or showing off?
Zheng Ya pretended not to be crowded, but he and Wu Wei were forced back forty or fifty meters by the aura he exuded before they could regain their footing.
Prince Ning sneered, "Eagle King, are you provoking the authorities?"
"I wouldn't dare. As the leader of the family that has settled in this starry sky, how could I trust my family members to risk their lives for me if I didn't test the foundation of this generation of starry sky inspectors? You agree, Prince Ning, don't you?" The Eagle King retorted disdainfully.
He really wouldn't dare to provoke officials now.
At least during the ten-year protection period provided by the authorities, Zheng Ya dared not act too recklessly.
Prince Ning knew that his words were a veiled threat, a test of the extent of the alliance between his four great families and Zheng Ya, and said disdainfully, "You'd better tone it down."
Otherwise, if you anger me and I lose my temper and wipe you all out, that would be my fault for not being careful enough, wouldn't you agree?"
The powerful words were accompanied by a golden light that flashed out, instantly forcing back the team of the seven great families led by the Eagle King.
In a single encounter, he was forced back more than 300 meters, causing a commotion and making a huge fool of himself.
In contrast, Prince Ning wore a light gold python robe, had a face like jade, and was adorned with a jade belt and a blood-red amber pendant. His long, light gold hair moved without wind, revealing an air of otherworldly elegance and an imposing presence.
The two sides merely displayed their strength in a brief exchange, creating a grand spectacle in a single encounter.
Li Yunlong and the others were already dumbfounded. One of them casually remarked, "The powerful families are as fierce as tigers; they've come with ill intentions!"
"I hope they don't go too far!" Fu Qingyao gritted her teeth in anger; this was a slap in the face!
This was a show of force, meant to set an example for Zheng Ya and others.
The Eagle King was defeated in one move, but he flew back to his original position with great momentum: "Prince Ning's strength has improved again, congratulations!"
"Hmph, I'm not like you, who flatters and begs for mercy when you can't win?" Prince Ning forcefully provoked him, making the Eagle King's face twitch with anger, and he dared not make a move: "Prince Ning, let's do things according to the rules..."
"You have violated official regulations by trespassing into the starry sky of Zheng Ya Starry Sky Inspector. How dare you try to negotiate with me?" Prince Ning demanded forcefully.
The Eagle King was so angry that he tried to unleash his power, but a fat man beside him stopped him: "Don't be impulsive. Prince Ning is deliberately provoking us to attack so he can have an excuse to drive us away and dominate this starry sky. Don't fall for it..."
"Damn it, why is that bastard here too?" Eagle King was seething with hatred. Ning Wang's contemptuous provocation almost ignited his murderous intent, but the fat man held him down firmly: "It seems they are determined to get Zheng Ya. We should be careful."
"The important thing is to focus on the details; don't get angry."
"You've all learned the demonic language so well, quite an improvement, huh?" Prince Ning seized the opportunity to frame him, but the Eagle King scoffed, "Prince Ning, your provocation won't work on me. Let's get down to business."
"Hmm, not bad, you've grown quite a bit, but you're still a long way from becoming my rival."
"Why don't you come and talk to me in a more respectable way?" Prince Ning pressed on relentlessly, forcing the other party to back down and give in.
The fat man transmitted his voice: "Eagle King, there's no point in saying more. Why don't you make some concessions?"
"Damn it." The Eagle King hadn't expected to run into such a formidable opponent as Prince Ning. He cursed under his breath, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Prince Ning and said, "Prince Ning, how about a 40/60 split?"
"I won't bully you either, we'll split it 30/70."
From now on, there will be six of us, three of you, and the remaining portion will go to Inspector Zheng Yaxing.
Each portal planet has three fortified defenses, forming a triangular defensive line.
"Each of the three of us will have one. I will take charge of the fortress's defenses in place of Zheng Ya, the Starry Sky Inspector. Once I know that Zheng Ya has trained a fighting force, I will relinquish my authority to manage the fortress..." Prince Ning spoke to himself, completely ignoring the dark-faced, murderous intent of the Eagle King's faction.
Even Zheng Ya was shocked; their eating manners were simply too disgusting!
Unfortunately, Prince Ning spoke eloquently and with great righteousness.
This enraged the Eagle King, who roared in fury, but the fat man behind him covered his mouth and spoke for him: "Prince Ning, be careful, too much steel can break..."
"Steel, where are you? Are you talking about you, trying to amuse me?"
"In my eyes, you are not even worth rotten wood. What, are you going to oppose my decision?" As Prince Ning spoke, his face hardened, and with a wave of his hand, four battle groups of thirty men each stepped forward in unison, forming the battle formation.
The invisible "hum" emitted a powerful aura, forcing the seven 30-person battle groups to take emergency defenses, but they were still forced back a thousand meters away by the opponent's momentum.
A trial run, a single move to decide the outcome.
Prince Ning raised his hand and said, "I will punish the illegal intruders on behalf of the authorities..."
"Wait, Prince Ning, we agree..." Eagle King realized the reality at this moment, took the initiative to shake off the fat man's hand covering his mouth, and raised his hand to stop.
What are you talking about?!
The enemy was plotting to dominate this starry sky; they came prepared, but we were caught off guard.
Families that move into the newly established branch base, Starry Sky, are limited to a team of thirty people, with their cultivation level not exceeding the sixth rank. This restriction will be lifted after ten years.
However, even though their cultivation levels are similar, the difference in their individual aptitude is too great.
Eagle King's aptitude is considered above average. Even though he is at the peak of level six (level twelve) and his realm is similar to Ning King's, there is a difference in their individual aptitudes. Their strengths are not on the same level at all, equivalent to a one-to-five difference.
The key point is that the people who came were all top-notch talents.
Although they appeared few in number, their strength completely overwhelmed the seven aristocratic families on our side, making it seem like child's play.
The most important thing is illegal intrusion. Once they are punished and sent back, the strength of the people sent next will be reduced by a whole realm. Wouldn't that be sending Ning Wang and his group to their deaths?
This is the price of misjudging the opponent's strength. The Eagle King has to grit his teeth and bear it.
Disappointed, Prince Ning lowered his hand. The four battle groups behind him lost their fighting spirit. Prince Ning said regretfully, "Alas, I've been itching to fight for a long time. Why don't you play with me?"
How about I secretly bet you to make a move? Win or lose, I won't expel you. What do you say?
Yes, yes, please say yes, I can't wait any longer..."
"Prince Ning, you've won!" The Eagle King's face turned ashen with frustration. This was too cruel; it was a brutal attack on his spirit...
