Liu family fleet, flagship conference room.
At this moment, a small video conference was being held in the conference room. Although the scale of the meeting was not large, the number of people participating in this meeting, if it were in the past, could even affect the entire Interstellar Federation.
No! Even now, it is still affecting the Interstellar Federation.
In the video conference, the heads of the eight major powerful forces all appeared. There was another screen on the other side, which showed the man behind the scenes of the Star Pirates' Headquarters, the young old Kuang Mingfeng, the three-eyed member who called himself Mosin.
Mosin gently wrapped a piece of cloth around his forehead to cover his awakened third eye. At this moment, he looked like an ordinary human being.
"Master Liu, will Lin Tao come to the Scorpio solar system?"
The one who spoke was the current head of the Su family. Without the presence of Old Master Su, he lacked a sense of calmness compared to before.
All the family heads who participated in the meeting looked at the head of the Su family with a hint of ridicule in their eyes. Although the Su family started out with mechas, the Star Pirate Headquarters has now provided them with a new mecha with even better performance, which has completely reduced the Su family's original mecha to a second-rate level.
It was also because the Su family obtained those machines that they once again abandoned the parliament and joined hands with other powerful forces.
Even so, other family heads soon took up the topic.
"Master Liu, according to current information, Lin Tao appeared in the Ludong solar system. Although it is closer to the Scorpio solar system, the distance is still quite far."
"Yeah, could it be that we chose the wrong ambush point?"
"A small mistake can lead to a huge error! If Lin Tao doesn't come, then everything we have done in the Scorpio solar system will be in vain."
…
All the family heads were discussing it.
Listening to their words, although the head of the Liu family looked normal, his expression was a little ugly. In the video, sitting next to him was the newly nominated next head of the family, Liu Zhengqi. Liu Zhengqi listened carefully to the words of the heads of the family present, but said nothing.
On the other side, Mosin also did not say anything. His eyes, exposed from under his forehead band, were motionless, like wood.
As they talked, these family heads seemed to have opened up their chatterboxes which had not been opened for a long time. They spoke more and more, and their words became more and more unbearable.
“Ahem!”
Mo Xin couldn't help it any longer and coughed twice, causing everyone to shut up.
After scanning the area, Mo Xin said in a cold voice, "The Liu family is the one in charge. The mechas and personnel sent by our Star Pirates Headquarters are no less powerful than you. What? Do you want to finish my words for me?"
All of a sudden, all the family heads shut their mouths and dared not say anything.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Zhengqi's sights also fell on this three-eyed tribe member: "Is he the man behind the scenes hiding in the Starry Sky Pirates' Headquarters? What kind of ability does he have that he can actually command the eight powerful families?"
You know, if the eight powerful forces want to command them all at once, even the parliament needs a certain amount of capital.
This made Liu Zhengqi even more curious about this person.
As if he noticed her gaze, Mo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes like a thousand-year-old ice quickly glanced at Liu Zhengqi, making her tremble all over and quickly lower her head.
Retracting his gaze, Mo Xin looked at Liu Xuming and said coldly: "Master Liu, what do you think?"
His voice was cold, his tone was cold, and even his eyes seemed to be able to freeze people instantly. In this situation, even though Liu Xuming had been sitting in the position of the head of the family for many years, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
However, facing the looks of the family heads, he immediately said firmly: "Lin Tao will definitely come to the Scorpio solar system, we just need to wait patiently."
"Very good." Mo Xin said softly: "The people I sent have already headed to the Scorpio solar system. I believe he will arrive soon. If Lin Tao really appears in the Scorpio solar system, we will be able to capture him easily with all our strength."
"I need to see Lin Tao alive. You just need to assist me. If anything unexpected happens, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance." After Mo Xin finished speaking, he ignored the other family heads and unilaterally cut off the communication.
These words contained both threats and intimidation, but the heads of the powerful families did not resist when they heard them. After looking at each other, they all withdrew from the video conference.
The Liu family was the last to close the video. As soon as the video was closed, Liu Zhengqi asked, "Master, that man is just a space pirate. Why do we have to listen to him?"
Liu Xuming turned his head and glanced at Liu Zhengqi, but there was no blame in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of hesitation, as if he was considering whether to tell her the truth.
After a moment, he sighed again: "When you officially become the head of the Liu family, you will understand."
It's not that Liu Xuming is unwilling to say it, but that the star pirate is involved in many things, even the origin of mankind is closely related to them. Liu Zhengqi has always accepted the "formal" history of the Interstellar Federation, so it may not be easy for him to accept this news.
"Become the head of the family?" Liu Zhengqi frowned.
"Zhengqi, how sure are you that Lin Tao will appear in the Scorpio solar system?"
Even though Liu Xuming spoke in a firm tone in front of all the family heads, he was somewhat shaken in his heart at that time. However, since this action was proposed by their Liu family, he would naturally try his best to hold on.
At this moment, with no outsiders around, Liu Xuming immediately started asking.
"He will definitely come." Liu Zhengqi responded directly and decisively.
Liu Xuming nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He just said calmly: "Since he will come, you should go to the bridge immediately and prepare for the battle that may happen at any time."
…
In the starry sky.
The high-speed ship was moving at an extremely high speed, its destination being the Scorpio solar system.
This ship is quite fast and can travel long distances, but in this case, it will take at least ten days to reach the Scorpio solar system from the Ludong solar system.
In the cabin.
Lin Tao sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, concentrating all his energy in his mind.
After leaving Lu Dongxing, Lu Mengchen persuaded Zhuo to instruct Lin Tao for another day. During the day of being instructed, Lin Tao was not in a hurry to practice, but compared the cultivation memory of Elder Hongshi in his mind with the current changes in his body, found some of the difficulties, and asked Zhuo about them.
Zhuo was very surprised by this. After some instructions, Lin Tao sat down quietly and closed his eyes to practice again.
When Lin Tao first came into contact with the power of mind, he always thought that Elder Hong Shi and Zhuo's cultivation were roughly the same, but when his mind power reached 6 points, he immediately realized the difference between the two.
Zhuo's cultivation method emphasizes the combination of internal and external factors, gathering the mind waves from the mind and drawing the corresponding energy from the outside world. Before the Etna people encountered the bottleneck for the first time, their cultivation method was mainly based on gathering the mind waves in the mind, but after a breakthrough, they gradually began to diverge from Zhuo's cultivation method.
This difference was not obvious at the beginning, but it began to become obvious as the number of extreme bursts of brain power increased.
If we were to divide the Etna people's practice methods into different categories, it would be the purely external practice method within the Zhuo practice content, which is mainly based on absorbing external energy.
"Lin Tao, did you get this method of cultivation from the Great Interstellar Federation?" Zhuo asked.
Due to the special memory inheritance of the Zhuo clan, Zhuo does not have many memories left. The memory of the Great Interstellar Federation has even completely disappeared from his mind, so he asked this question.
Lin Tao nodded: "Yes, after meeting the Etna people, I accidentally absorbed one of their elders and obtained this method of cultivation from his memory. However, since I didn't know how to retain these brain memories at the time, these memories became small fragments."
These fragments of memory would occasionally emerge in his mind, but it was difficult to restore them completely, which made Lin Tao feel very sorry.
"Memory fragments?" Zhuo heard this and shook the stone ball: "It's a pity that our Zhuo Xing tribe does not have this kind of brain power, otherwise we can help you recover these lost memory fragments."
"Can the lost brain memories be restored?" Lin Tao was surprised.
"I studied you humans when I was on Gat. Your memory method is very similar to ours. You store memories in cells. As long as these cells are not completely dead, you can use the cells' operating thoughts to restore the lost memories."
Zhuo said: "Just like you will lose these memories, it is also because the cells responsible for memory are replaced in a short period of time, so the memory is like a fragment and it is difficult to recall."
So this is what is happening. Lin Tao seemed to understand.
Suddenly, Lin Tao's mind moved. Isn't Lu Mengchen's mind power affecting the brain? Isn't it possible that her mind power can help him recover this lost memory? When Lin Tao's expression changed, Zhuo had already seen it. After the stone ball shook for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Lin Tao, I advise you not to have such thoughts?"
"Why?" Lin Tao wondered.
"My little apprentice's strength has not yet reached this level. Forcing her to help you recover these cell memories will affect her cultivation in brain power."
After a pause, Zhuo seemed to sense Lin Tao's disapproval, and immediately changed his tone with a hint of sternness: "Lin Tao, I warn you, if I find out, don't blame me for destroying the mind you have worked so hard to cultivate on the spot, and turning you back into an ordinary person again."
"This..." Lin Tao's heart was shocked. He really planned to ask Lu Mengchen for help in private, but now that he saw this, he immediately gave up this idea.
However, in this way, Lin Tao immediately understood that Lu Mengchen's cultivation was so rapid, and the Zhuo Xing clan member in front of him definitely had no good intentions.
Should we inform Lu Mengchen? Lin Tao narrowed his eyes and glanced at the stone ball.
