The spacecraft that had searched Wind-Breath Valley soon brought in a large number of additional personnel.
These later arrivals, unlike the first group, did not travel by spaceship. Instead, they flew at high speeds through the air in a manner that even Fang Er found astonishing!
Their attire was reminiscent of Nezha from legend!
Not just one, but all of them!
They all stood on wheeled flying devices, much like Nezha's Wind Fire Wheels. However, instead of flames, the wheels spewed high-speed ionic streams!
In their hands, they did not wield ordinary ion guns or laser weapons, but rather polearms that resembled ancient lances.
The leader was clad entirely in golden armor, looking incredibly dashing!
These individuals quickly fanned out, searching the dense forest for any suspicious traces.
This planet, despite lacking oxygen, was covered in dense vegetation, much like the Myriad Curve Realm.
During their escape, Fang Er and Xi Tong discovered a large hollow tree and promptly burrowed into it through the hole in its trunk.
Listening to the angry shouts of the Yanhuang people outside, the two did their best to remain utterly silent.
However, when they overheard the mention of "Kun King," Xi Tong couldn't resist teasing Fang Er in his mind.
[Your Highness Kun King, quickly come out and subdue them all!]
Fang Er:...........
Damn it!
What does the Kun King they're talking about have to do with me?
The Yanhuang people on Kunlun Star still maintained a monarchical political structure. Perhaps it was due to the name "Kunlun" itself, but their kings had always continued to bear the title of Kun King.
Their consorts were known as the Lun Empress.
The current Kun King was named Yan Hexiang.
The current Lun Empress was named Huang Xianyi.
Just as he was about to say something, he felt Xi Tong in front of him suddenly become restless.
"Don't move around! It'll be disastrous if those people outside discover us!"
[Why don't you just let it in then? It's poking me!]
...........
The search outside lasted for more than ten hours before the Yanhuang people gradually departed.
Perhaps because Wind-Breath Valley was once again filled with lava, the search outside only lasted for a little over ten hours. By the time night fell on the second day, the Yanhuang people had gradually left.
After scanning the surroundings with his mind and confirming there was no longer any danger, Fang Er, sweating profusely, emerged from the tree hollow and shot a fierce glare at Xi Tong behind him.
"Day in and day out, you never know how to restrain yourself!"
[Hmph! You say no, but just now, whose body was so honest!]
Xi Tong immediately retorted.
Fang Er was speechless.
Damn it, are some things within his control?
Unless one was a pervert like Wang Xuance!
They could no longer stay in Kunlun State. They were directly under the watchful eyes of the Yanhuang leadership. Even if they hadn't attracted the Yanhuang's attention this time, another mistake would surely make the Yanhuang leadership, no matter how foolish, realize that someone was acting secretly.
Taking advantage of the night, the two quickly headed for the coast, stepped onto the Dragon Scale Greatsword, and left Kunlun State directly.
Their current identities were that of students from the Eastern Divine State, so they definitely couldn't go there.
Another point was that their false identities were established in the Western Crane State. To prevent the black market there from exposing them after an incident, going to the Western Crane State also carried a certain risk.
After much deliberation, there were only two possible destinations: Southern State and Northern Reed State.
They were currently in the southern waters of Kunlun State, making Southern State their only choice.
Southern State was tens of thousands of kilometers away from Kunlun State. The two traveled at night and rested on a reef during the day. After several days, they finally arrived at a mountainous region in Southern State.
This mountain was named Moon Mountain, named for its abundance of moonstones. However, it had been abandoned centuries ago.
After finding a random mine shaft in Moon Mountain, it became their new excavation site.
For the modified ion cannons, they had originally prepared over a dozen, to prevent any inability to continue in case of an accident.
After re-establishing the setup, all that was left was to wait.
However, this time, Fang Er did not choose to stay and wait at the original location.
Instead, he took Xi Tong to another hilltop to watch from a distance, checking back every day or two.
This approach would not only prevent further accidents but also reduce the risk of being caught.
As days passed, the tunnel excavated by the ionic streams in the mine shaft grew deeper and deeper.
Kunlun Star, the political center of the Yanhuang tribe, Xuanyuan Palace.
A white-haired, yet spirited old man sat beneath the golden throne. To his right sat a kindly-looking old woman.
They were the current Kun King and Lun Empress. The couple had been in power for a millennium.
A group of men and women in official uniforms stood respectfully opposite them, reporting on recent state affairs.
After they had all finished speaking, Kun King pointed to one of them.
"Wu Qi! Have the culprits who caused trouble in Wind-Breath Valley a few days ago been found?"
The person named Wu Qi quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Replying to His Highness Kun King, they have not been found!"
"Bang!"
Kun King casually hurled a cup at Wu Qi, roaring in anger.
"I give you three more days..."
"Report!"
Just then, a person rushed into the hall from outside with a tense expression.
"Reporting to His Highness Kun King, abnormal spatial fluctuations have been detected in Southern State, with a frequency completely consistent with the fluctuations previously discovered in Wind-Breath Valley!"
"What?"
Kun King and Wu Qi simultaneously looked at the person, their eyes filled with intense anger.
The next moment, Wu Qi cupped his hands, "Kun King, please calm your anger. Your subordinate will lead men to Southern State immediately!"
Kun King roared, "Remember! Anyone who covets space should not live in this world!"
"The lessons from billions of years ago, I do not wish for them to happen again!"
"Yes!"
Wu Qi immediately turned and left.
Seeing that Kun King was in a bad mood, the other officials also took their leave.
Soon, only Kun King and Lun Empress remained in the grand hall.
At this point, the Lun Empress, who had remained silent, took Kun King's arm and said with a shake of her head.
"What is meant to come will come. Blindly resisting will not solve the problem."
"Perhaps, this time it will not be a calamity, but an opportunity for our Yanhuang clan?"
Kun King said hatefully, "Impossible!"
"In this world, whoever masters space will be annihilated!"
"This is an eternal taboo!"
"Why did our ancestors abandon their homeworld and migrate here tens of billions of years ago?"
"Was it not because someone touched the taboo and angered that unknown entity?"
"Do you truly believe that the Andromeda civilization discovered our homeworld by chance?"
"All of this is not merely coincidence!"
"It is all due to someone pushing things from behind the scenes!"
After saying these words, he slumped powerlessly into his chair, his eyes vacant as he looked up at the ceiling, a long passage of the Yanhuang tribe's secrets surfacing in his mind.
