Chapter 419 - 418 Collecting Rent
Chapter 419: Chapter 418 Collecting Rent
Emperor Star.
Level 6 planet
The only Level 6 planet in the Interstellar Federation, with an extremely terrifying concentration of spiritual energy.
Simply standing there and taking a deep breath could increase the True Qi in one’s body by a bit.
If one could live there year after year, even those who do not practice cultivation could break through to the Martial Arts Sect level of Cultivation.
However, unfortunately, Emperor Star is roughly the size of Earth and unless one is from a noble family, they don’t even have the right to land on it.
At this time, outside in the space around Emperor Star, eleven top-level battleships of the Young Marshal Army slowly approached.
This sent the various nobles into panic. What is the Young Marshal Army doing coming to Emperor Star with such a large force? They couldn’t possibly be planning to attack Emperor Star, could they?
“What do we do now!?”
“What else can we do, get ready for battle!”
“That’s right, no matter what the Young Marshal Army is here for, we need to be prepared.”
“It makes sense, even if the Young Marshal Army is just here to celebrate a birthday, we can’t let our guard down.”
“But most of the guards on Emperor Star have been sent to the front lines, what do we do with our insufficient manpower!?”
“What else can we do? Gather the guards from all the noble families.”
“That way, we can put together an army of 700,000.”
“Activate all defense mechanisms, and if the Young Marshal Army dares to land on Emperor Star, open fire immediately.”
“Send out a warning first, telling the Young Marshal Army not to land on Emperor Star, otherwise it would be considered a provocation.”
“I wonder if Wang Hao is with the Young Marshal Army.”
“Wang Hao? Shouldn’t he be in prison!?”
“In prison? That was just Wang Hao messing around, did you actually take it seriously!?”
“I can’t stand that guy, turning a prison stay into a game.”
“…”
As the orders from the nobility on Emperor Star were issued, guards from various noble families gathered to form a temporary combat force to prevent the Young Marshal Army from landing.
At the same time, defensive cannons rose from underground, and battleships from nearby planets set course for Emperor Star.
And just as everyone armed themselves to the teeth, Wang Hao, accompanied by Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, arrived at Emperor Star on a small spacecraft, appearing in front of a very quiet and peaceful manor.
Qian Wanyang expressed his concern, “Boss, isn’t it a bad idea to come to Emperor Star so openly?”
Chen Yao reminded him, “Yeah, Boss, you’re currently a criminal, you should be locked up in a cell, not out here.”
Wang Hao curled his lip, “Even if I’m in prison, I still have rights, can’t I come out for some fresh air?”
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao were stunned, their boss was so bold; it didn’t seem like he had the mindset of a prisoner at all, more like someone taking a vacation in a cell.
As Wang Hao stepped off the spacecraft and looked at the manor in front of him, a look of nostalgia instantly crossed his face.
According to memory, this was where the once-imposing Marshal used to reside, as well as the place where the unfortunate soul had spent his childhood. It was also the place from which he had been chased out.
“Boss, are you okay?” Qian Wanyang asked with concern.
Wang Hao took a deep breath, “Who resides here now?”
Chen Yao hurriedly said, “Boss, ever since your father disappeared, this place has belonged to the Guan family’s property, and not long ago, the Guan family awarded this estate to the Level 6 Marshal, Guan Tian.”
“Guan Tian!” Wang Hao’s lips curled into a cold smile, “Guan Xinxiong, that old turtle, wanted to use Guan Tian as a pawn to kill me last time. Too bad he didn’t expect my rise to power to be so swift. Now, it’s time to settle new scores along with the old.”
Qian Wanyang quickly said, “Boss, according to the intelligence we’ve gathered, Guan Tian is currently in the estate, and Li Yunyang is also here recuperating.”
“Li Yunyang is recuperating here?” Wang Hao was momentarily stunned, then asked curiously, “So how is his injury? Has he gotten any better?”
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao rolled their eyes, this was simply indescribable.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think Wang Hao and Li Yunyang were very close buddies upon hearing this.
But for those who knew the relationship between Wang Hao and Li Yunyang, they would think Wang Hao extremely hypocritical. To inflict such suffering and then come pretending concern, if that’s not hypocrisy, what is?
Qian Wanyang coughed, “I heard that Kula went to the hospital for surgery, so she’ll soon become a woman. As for Li Yunyang, reports say he is still in a daze, not seeming to have recovered. However, he currently doesn’t reject Kula and appears to be trying to accept Kula’s new identity.”
“Oh my God!” Wang Hao shivered, “Li Yunyang is really disgusting, to think he’s… twisted…”
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao were dumbfounded, did their boss have no shame at all? Had he forgotten that it was thanks to his own actions that Li Yunyang had turned out this way?
“Tap, tap…”
Just then, Guan Tian, followed by a troop of soldiers, emerged from the estate and surrounded Wang Hao and his comrades.
Guan Tian said with a cold face, “Wang Hao, instead of staying in your cell, what are you doing on Emperor Star with the Young Marshal Army?”
Wang Hao quipped, “I’m obviously here to collect rent!”
“Collect rent?” Guan Tian was taken aback, he looked back at the estate, quickly grasped what Wang Hao meant, but was bringing an entire army necessary just to collect rent?
“Wang Hao, I swear you’ll not die a good death…” A furious roar came from the estate.
Everyone looked up to see Li Yunyang, his face cold and severe, charging out of the estate with a giant sword and an incredibly powerful aura bursting forth from his body. In an instant, he was enveloped in lightning and flames.
“Lightning, fire dual attribute.” Wang Hao’s expression turned solemn, “Not only has he been crowned by the Heavenly Dao, but he’s also used an Inheritance Crystal. This favored son of the Heavenly Dao is truly terrifying. Even with his spirit damaged, he still manages to make a king’s return.”
“Die!!”
Li Yunyang’s face was ferociously twisted, and the violent True Qi began to gather on the giant sword in his hands, unleashing a sharp and unbeatable Sword Qi. It descended upon them like a mountain, oppressing everyone’s spirits.
“This is the king sealed by the Heavenly Dao, truly terrifying…” Wang Hao didn’t dare to be careless, as an astonishing True Qi surged from within his body, a giant sword also materialized in his hand, and the resonant hum of the sword echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
Everyone present was heavily shaken, all thinking the same thing: Is this really Level 9 Martial Arts Sect? Why does it feel like not even dozens of Martial Kings would be a match for Wang Hao?
However, when everyone’s gaze fell back on Li Yunyang, they all gave Wang Hao a sympathetic look.
If Wang Hao had also broken through to Martial King, then Li Yunyang would undoubtedly be defeated.
But now, Li Yunyang had not only been fully crowned by the Heavenly Dao but also had gained Dual Attribute abilities with the use of the Inheritance Crystal, his strength had skyrocketed by dozens of times.
This against Wang Hao, merely at Level 9 Martial Arts Sect, was like an adult bullying a child; there was no chance of victory…
PS: Regarding the anticipated father-son reunion, it should still be eight or nine chapters away. After all, to make the ploy against the father spectacular, the plot must lay down a good foundation first, Hehe!!
What do you think?
