“Are you sure there’s nothing wrong?” Walking on the street, Lu Yao wore a long dress, looking very calm, but she couldn’t help but ask Ye Zi in her heart, feeling a little anxious.
After all, it was time for her to undergo the metamorphosis. The usual metamorphosis was fine as it was just a simple sleep. However, it was unlikely for her to undergo metamorphosis like before now, under the conditions of enemies spying in the dark. She couldn’t help but feel nervous, as the consequences of being discovered would be disastrous.
“Don’t worry, My King.” Ye Zi’s voice sounded in her mind, calming Lu Yao’s emotions. “Although that group of people can detect the Golden Mark’s rhythm through a particular method, the process isn’t that simple. Unless they’re very close, but even if they can sense the Golden Mark’s rhythm, they wouldn’t be able to find our location. Otherwise, they would have succeeded long ago and wouldn’t have to wait until now.” Ye Zi consoled softly.
Walking on the road, hearing what Ye Zi said, Lu Yao nodded, barely calming down her emotions. Indeed, just as Ye Zi said, even if the other party had the means, it wouldn’t be that easy. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken them so long to track her down. But even so, there were still risks.
Therefore, Lu Yao was highly cautious this time. Out of caution, she did not undergo metamorphosis near her home. After all, she would be around this area quite frequently from now on. If she were suspected within this area, there would be a huge trouble in the future.
Before her metamorphosis, she left this area with the excuse of traveling and found a faraway place.
‘Brother’s workplace seems to be not far away…’ Arriving at the area, Lu Yao looked at the map and recalled Chen Heng’s location. She could not help but hesitate, ‘Should I run further away?’
Out of instinct, she subconsciously wanted to avoid Chen Heng’s location, not wanting her brother to take any additional risks. However, at this point, it seemed that it was already too late.
The Golden Mark’s recovery signs in her body became more apparent. Very soon, she would not be able to control it. Even if Lu Yao forcefully suppressed the recovery process of the Golden Mark, she would only be able to delay it for one or two days at most, and such a short period was not enough for her to go any further. After all, she still needed to find a place to metamorphose quietly, which would also require a certain amount of time.
Lu Yao hesitated for a moment and decided not to leave. Instead, she chose to get off the car and search around the area. She soon found a place and prepared to undergo a peaceful metamorphosis.
To Lu Yao and Ye Zi, this was just a standard metamorphosis, just a little riskier compared to before. However, if nothing unexpected happened, there should be no danger.
However, in reality, the danger was gradually approaching without the two of them knowing, and it would be close to them soon.
“Are you sure it’s this area?” In the quiet room, there were many sophisticated instruments. The middle-aged man looked at the woman in the red dress and asked calmly.
“If the information provided by that person is correct, it should be here.” The woman in the red dress nodded calmly, then she continued, “Although it’s a large area, it’s not bad.”
“That Golden King might not have thought…” The middle-aged man sneered, “She tried her best to hide, but in reality, her location is no secret to us.”
“Don’t you think so, Mr. Ferrier?”
He turned around and looked at the figure behind him. A thin and weak figure faced the middle-aged man and could not help but tremble.
Through the bright lights in the room, he could see the appearance of this figure. He wore a decent set of clothes and looked extremely old from his appearance. He met the middle-aged man’s gaze and forced a smile on his face. “Lord Olly, you must be joking.”
“I’m not joking.” A mocking smile appeared on the middle-aged man named Olly’s face. “If it weren’t for you, the loyal subordinate of the Golden King, it would have taken us a lot of effort to find her.” The expression on his face was rather unique.
To the people present, Ferrier was indeed a special person. He was not a direct subordinate of the Five Knights but a knight who had once followed and pledged his loyalty to the Golden King. He was the person that the Golden King trusted the most, and this was the core. Such a knight should have pledged his loyalty to the Golden King to death.
However, this knight betrayed the Golden King and chose to join the Five Knights. He even helped them search for the Golden King, which was shameful.
Of course, to Olly and the others, Ferrier’s betrayal was shameful, but it also brought them great convenience, for example, at this moment.
Even though they had already discovered the star where the Golden King was hiding, the area within the star was too extensive. Under the circumstances where they could not destroy the star or use other means, it would be a troublesome matter if they wanted to explore and find the Golden King step by step. And even if they could succeed, they would need to spend a lot of time to allow the Golden King to grow.
However, with the help of this knight, Ferrier, the situation would be different. After all, Ferrier was once the core subordinate and one of the most trusted knights of the Golden King. He could indeed find the King.
Just as Ye Zi could find Lu Yao accurately in the entire Qika Star, Ferrier had the same ability. Therefore, with Ferrier’s help, it would undoubtedly be much easier to find the Golden King.
Of course, this was also the reason why others despised Ferrier. Based on the ability he possessed, the Golden King undoubtedly gave him the greatest degree of trust and regarded him as a trustworthy confidant, with special respect and recognition. However, even so, he had still betrayed the Golden King.
Others naturally despised such actions, but even so, there was still something that needed to be done. Ferrier was not too weak, only second to Olly and the woman in the red dress in this team. His ability was of great use. Therefore, he still had the treatment and attention that they needed.
“Alright.” Standing where he was, Olly looked at Ferrier before continuing, “You should seize the time to sense it. Avril, get ready.” He looked at the woman in the Red Dress and said calmly, “This time, we have to go all out and take down the Golden King in one go.”
No matter what kind of enemy they faced, they had to go all out. Olly and the others were very clear about this principle in front of them. Moreover, the other party was not a weakling but the strongest king who had once roamed the galaxy. It was conceivable that the other party’s potential was terrifying, and she would be very alert.
If they failed this time and let the other party escape, she would realize that a traitor had appeared and make corresponding arrangements and means. At that time, the hunt would become even more challenging. Therefore, they had to use all of their strength this time to ensure success. Everyone present understood this very well.
Listening to Olly and Avril’s conversation, Ferrier silently lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking. He was silent, not saying a word. Under the light, he looked a little complicated. However, he had to do what he had to do.
After a short rest, they quickly set off in a specific direction. The undercurrents in the surroundings surged, and something big was about to happen.
…
The sunlight illuminated the sky early morning, brightening up the entire world. In the quiet room, Chen Heng opened his eyes and looked forward.
After a night of meditation, his spiritual power had once again increased a little, becoming more acute. Getting up from bed, he walked to the windowsill and looked at the outside world.
The scenery outside was still the same, and it didn’t seem to have changed much. The world outside was bright and beautiful. The light shone in all directions, brightening up the world.
Chen Heng picked up his phone, and coincidentally, Liu Rou called.
“What’s wrong?” He looked at the scenery outside and said casually.
“Some things happened recently. You have to be careful during this period. If you see any dangerous people, remember not to go near them.” Liu Rou’s voice sounded solemn on the phone as if she was nervous about something.
Chen Heng could not help but frown listening to Liu Rou’s words, feeling a little surprised. Out of instinct, he immediately realized something.
‘It seemed like something big was about to happen.’ This thought flashed through his mind, but he still nodded and said, “I understand, but what exactly happened?”
“I can’t speak clearly on the phone. I’ll send you a copy of the information later, and you’ll understand.” On the phone, Liu Rou’s voice sounded again.
Then, they continued to chat for a while, then Chen Heng hung up the phone and walked to the computer. Liu Rou had sent the information over. Chen Heng looked at it casually, and then he couldn’t help but pause.
‘It has already started…’ Chen Heng thought as he looked at the information on the computer screen. It wasn’t anything else but something that had happened during this period.
Based on the information, a powerful extraterrestrial force had descended on this planet and was in contact with the surrounding forces, as if they were searching for something.
As a significant force that spans the galaxy, the Black Dream Group was also among the other party’s contact targets and had already been in contact. Therefore, the Black Dream Group headquarter had issued a special order, warning all the divisions to try their best to be on guard and, at the same time, cooperate with the other party’s request. On the document, there was a large amount of supplementary information.
“The target is powerful and has many fourth rank existences. Try to avoid any contact with them!” These were the remarks on the document marked in red, afraid that those reading it would forget. It seemed that the Black Dream Group was very afraid of this group of extraterrestrial forces.
Although the Black Dream Group was also a significant force that left its home planet, the strongest existence within its entire force was probably only at the fifth rank. And among this group of extraterrestrial forces, the fourth rank experts were everywhere, not to mention two fifth rank existences. With such power, one could not help but be afraid.
‘Two fifth rank existences…’ Chen Heng thought, and his expression remained calm.
After a period of recuperation, he had successfully stabilized his power, reaching the fourth rank. Moreover, he was not weak even among the other fourth rank existences and could even be considered one of the very strong ones through his various means.
With this level of strength coupled with the Ancient Mecha, the other fourth-rank existences would not be his match. However, that might not be the case for the fifth-ranks.
In the past, Chen Heng had never come into contact with the fifth rank existences in this world, and he did not know how their battle strength was. Moreover, it was impossible for a fifth rank existence not to have any means. Perhaps they also possessed the Ancient Mecha, like Chen Heng. It might be a little risky if they were to meet rashly.
Chen Heng’s face was calm as all sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind. As for the other party’s identity and true purpose, he was already clear about it.
Who else could have descended onto this planet besides the Five Knights’ subordinates at this point? This was indeed the time, calculating and comparing it with the original trajectory of fate.
‘Unknowingly, it’s time…’ Chen Heng sighed, and he could not help but feel a little surprised. “Is it nearby?”
He was a little surprised, but he also understood precisely why Liu Rou was so anxious and purposely called him to remind him. It seemed that this group of Five Knight’s subordinates was now near Chen Heng, and they were dangerous people.
Based on the information, these people had already targeted this area. The person they were looking for was currently nearby.
‘This also meant…’ Chen Heng fell into deep thought, then he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later…” A familiar voice sounded.
As expected, Lu Yao’s phone was switched off. She was most likely in a metamorphosis. Just then, he received a few messages. Some were sent by the authorities, some were reminders from the Dragon City Academy, and messages from the Black Dream Group.
It seemed that all influential forces had dropped messages to him. The official message ordered Chen Heng to lead people to lock down the streets and guard a specific area to prevent accidents and terrorists. From its looks, the officials had already been contacted by the Five Knight’s subordinates to provide them assistance to a certain extent.
The message sent by Dragon City Academy was to remind the terror of that group of people and to remind Chen Heng to be cautious and not to have any conflict with them.
Besides a reminder, there was also a mission from the Black Dream Group to have Chen Heng try his best to keep an eye on the situation in the surroundings and immediately report it to the group’s higher-ups if he found anything suspicious.
From its looks, the Black Dream Group also had their concerns while communicating with that group of people.
Chen Heng shook his head, did not know what to say. However, even though he was speechless, he still had to do what he had to do. This was precisely what Chen Heng wanted.
Therefore, he quickly went to the local garrison office, led his subordinates, and promptly rushed to another area. Based on the instructions given by the officials, they could lock down this area.
“Sir… do you think we will encounter any big problems this time?”
While working, a figure came to Chen Heng and said carefully. This figure looked very young and beautiful. From her appearance, she was only 16 or 17 years old. She had long red hair and looked lively and cute. But at this moment, her face looked bitter.
“What do you think?” Chen Heng glanced at the girl, then asked softly.
Her name was Jiang Wen. Like Chen Heng, she was also one that the Black Dream Group focused on nurturing.. It was said that she was the daughter of a high-ranking official and had a strong background.
