Chapter 318 Crisis
"Don't you want to know where your clan's treasure is hidden?"
The old man in black asked calmly.
"No rush, I have plenty of time. I can look for it slowly." Nan Chi said with a smile.
"To tell you the truth, the Jiuzhou Ding you are looking for is at the bottom of this lake. Without my help, you will never be able to get it out." The old man felt secretly resentful when he saw that Nan Chi was very slippery.
Nan Chi raised his eyebrows, not because he doubted the credibility of the old man's words, but because he was measuring the success rate of taking the things out without changing the barrier.
"Don't even think about it. As long as I'm here, you won't be able to get the Jiuzhou Ding."
The old man said proudly.
"Those people back then would never have dreamed that I could survive here for thousands of years without dying, but their descendants couldn't make it anymore, right? Haha..."
Nan Chi looked at the arrogant aliens below with an expressionless face.
Dragon Trapping Formation...
Although this formation can trap this old guy here permanently, the predecessors at that time underestimated this guy's tenacity.
The saying "long illness makes one a doctor" applies here as well.
After being trapped for a long time, although this old guy cannot break out of the formation on his own, he must have some understanding of the operating principles of this formation.
He must have exploited some loophole in the formation and used it for his own benefit, which is why he was able to live so long.
Nan Chi narrowed her eyes and wanted to take the Jiuzhou Ding away.
She also needs to fix the bugs in the formation.
However, this old guy is very cunning. What appeared now is only his spiritual body, and his real body is suppressed somewhere unknown.
Nan Chi's eyes flashed, and he made a decision instantly.
Then, she ignored the old man's various temptations and turned away, saying arrogantly, "With my strength, I can take out the Jiuzhou Ding in a minute. I don't need your help, old man."
The old man in black watched the young man's back as he walked away, with a strange smile on his face.
"I've killed at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, little brat like you. I'm waiting here for you to come back and slap yourself in the face."
After Nan Chi left the old man's sight, he did not try to get the things as he had imagined.
Instead, he slapped a magic talisman on his body to prevent the old man from scanning him with his spiritual sense, then found a place to hide and rest.
He glanced at the sky and saw that it was around ten o'clock in the morning. "Let's sleep here first, and then get up to deal with that old guy."
“…”
The interstellar battlefield at that time.
Coordinates of the Wanhua Galaxy of the Imperial Star Alliance.
"Princess, the Dehongs galaxy has fallen. It's only fifty light years away from us. Should we... evacuate here first?"
"How's the evacuation of civilians going?" Wu Yuelian stood blankly in front of the light screen in the big tent, not knowing how long she maintained this posture.
He was wearing the latest interstellar mecha, and his face no longer had the radiant glow it once had.
Instead, she looked extremely tired, and the dark circles under her eyes betrayed the fact that she hadn't rested for a long time.
Her words made the attendant's expression become very depressed.
"Although we have done our best to escort the civilians away, the war came suddenly..."
"How many have been evacuated?" Wu Yuelian closed her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice.
"There are ten planets in a galaxy. Based on an average population of 10 billion per planet... that's less than half."
"Pass on my orders. Defend the various fortresses in the Wanhua Galaxy to the death. Buy as much time as possible for the evacuation of civilians. Our human race, and indeed the people of our empire, must not become food for alien races!"
Hearing the cold yet firm order from the Sixth Princess of the Empire, the attendant's face showed no surprise. "What about you, Princess? We suggest you evacuate from here immediately!"
"Retreat? Retreat to where? To the next galaxy inhabited by humans? Wait for the alien race to attack, then continue to retreat to the next galaxy and wait for the country to be destroyed?"
Wu Yuelian's face was filled with deep fatigue, but her eyes were surprisingly bright, as if they could see through the void and see the aliens attacking from the other side of the universe.
"I'd rather die than retreat."
"Princess, now is not the time to be willful. The empire still needs you..." The attendant was anxious.
"I've made up my mind." Wu Yuelian interrupted him and said coldly, "I need to rest. You go down first."
The attendant had no choice but to shut up and retreat quietly.
"How could I possibly retreat? How could I have the nerve to do so?" Wu Yuelian murmured until there was only one person left in the tent.
Because of her calculation, she was exploited by the alien race, who fanned the flames behind the scenes, causing most of the high-level combat forces in the galaxy to go to the alien race's ancestral land.
The aliens successfully took advantage of her, leading to the current situation. How could she still have the face to hide in the back?
This time the alien race launched the war without any warning.
No! Maybe.
But in front of the skeleton of a god-level powerful being, Shen Zang, many people choose to ignore this conspiracy.
I always think that this interstellar world is not going to be any less without me, and it won't be any more with me. If I leave, there are still other old guys left behind...
"Since this is a conspiracy, those who go to the alien race's ancestral land..." Wu Yuelian felt despair when she thought of the consequences.
Those who go to that place are all powerful people whose stomping of their feet can shake the entire universe. If something happens in the secret realm...
Human race.
Is there still hope?
Also, even Huo Sijun has left the interstellar space. Does he know the situation of the interstellar space now?
Are you back?
At this moment, the light screen opposite, which was on 24 hours a day, flashed.
"Princess, news has come from the Federation that Huo Sijun has appeared in the Federation's chaotic star sea. His First Legion is already prepared..."
Wu Yuelian breathed a sigh of relief. "What's the situation at the Federation?"
"The situation was very unfavorable. Since the tribe launched the war without any warning, their first surprise attack was successful. Like us, the Federation's Tenth Legion stationed in the Tianlong Star System was completely wiped out."
The colonel on the screen had a very heavy expression on his face.
Although their relationship with the Federation has not been very good in recent years, as they are both human beings and warriors, he couldn't help but feel sad from the bottom of his heart when he heard this news.
Wu Yuelian had a gloomy face.
"There's also news that a few old antiques from the Ancient School appeared in the Tianlong Galaxy and wiped out the king-level masters of the alien race."
Wu Yuelian was stunned. "Is the information reliable? Didn't the ancient school teacher go to that place?"
"The news is absolutely reliable. Perhaps in order to reassure people, the Federation War Channel broadcast the killing of the aliens live."
"Why didn't they go?" When Wu Yuelian heard the news, she knew that a master had appeared and the pressure on the Federation had suddenly decreased, and she felt unbalanced again.
Although their empire also has high-end combat power, but...
In the end, half of them went to that place.
Some old seniors are still in seclusion, and no one dares to disturb them unless they are in a life-or-death situation.
This has resulted in the current situation on the battlefield where king-level warriors charge into the army as if they were in an empty space.
When two armies are fighting, and their equipment and numbers are similar, the only thing left to compete is their superior combat power.
Although she also has king-level strongmen on her side, the number is far less than that of her clan. How can she have an advantage on the battlefield with so many fewer high-level combat forces?
