Chapter 406: Self-Destruct Program

Shen Qiuyue and Liu Na joined the fray as well.

Inside the spaceship, gunfire roared and sparks flew everywhere.

Yet, the vessels of the Galaxy Corporation possessed fiercer firepower and superior numbers; they were simply no match.

"Crack!"

With a crisp, sharp sound, the ship’s viewport was struck.

"Oh no!" Li Changan’s face fell in sheer horror.

"Swoosh!"

A stray bullet tore through the shattered hole, burying itself into Li Changan’s shoulder.

Rhodes stood up, slightly bewildered, wondering why the man had neither asked for his name nor introduced himself.

Yue stood right beside Xiao Yi, listening with a racing heart; the moment she saw Huo Le lower his sunglasses to flash her a knowing wink, she knew she could no longer act familiar with Xiao Yi.

Occasionally, a breeze would drift inside, and Ya Ya would look up, her eyes lighting up with pleasant surprise at the sight of the evening glow, but just as she was about to speak, her peripheral vision caught something that caused her eyes to widen in instant shock.

In this black-market column, Rhodes also wanted to include items from various worlds, such as specialties from other planets, famous calligraphy and paintings, weapons and equipment, human trafficking, and even world coordinates.

The sunlight seemed somewhat dazzling, preventing Wen Ranran from seeing the two figures clearly at first, though they felt intimately familiar to her.

"Appoint Shu Yue as a High Minister, to serve as a retainer to this Crown Prince," Prince Bei Yuchen declared solemnly, his eyes darkening with a grim intensity.

Song Ruibai was not a man to be trifled with, a fact she knew better than anyone, yet she had crossed him anyway; now, even if she wished to break free, it was no longer her decision to make.

Meanwhile, Han Biao returned to the palace and hurriedly sought out Wang Xiulian, informing her that he had seen Wang Weidong with his own eyes and that the man had indeed been rescued.

Feeling that she had familiarized herself well enough, Lin Shuyue blindfolded her eyes with a silk ribbon, picked up a box of incense, and began to inhale its scent with meticulous care.

However, the moment Xu Xianchun—clad in his embroidered fish-pattern robe and clutching his spring-clear saber—stepped off the boat alongside his imperial guards, the bustling porters who had been clamoring for business at the ferry crossing scattered in absolute terror, like startled beasts.

Gao Tian turned and left straight away; coming from the royal dynasty, his status was extraordinary, and his own strength was bound to be nothing short of formidable.

Zi Ling led everyone straight inside, and in an instant, the surrounding space warped, swallowing their silhouettes into nothingness as the area returned to its original silence.

Yi Yu cursed under his breath, for though he knew Feng and the others would never let him off easily, he had not expected them to be so utterly ruthless; drawing a deep breath to steady his emotions, he gently removed his helmet, his deep purple eyes gleaming with profound composure as a faint smile touched his lips.

"So you are the creator of the rules of the Xuanhuang Great World? Let me see what you are truly capable of..." the Lord of Chaos boomed, the sheer arrogance in his eyes laid bare as he extended a finger as black as ink.

"Senior, this inner room is for you to rest in, while I will simply sit and cultivate out here." To this day, Lin Yang could not fathom why this senior refused to stay at the city's inns, choosing instead to seek shelter in his humble abode.

Linger Xiang feebly beckoned to an alive guardian with a triumphant look, while Yi Yu and Feng flanked her, each supporting one of her arms.

Before long, the group arrived at a church on the Frozen Continent that had been abandoned for many years; the guardians who had been carrying heavy sacks began to unburden themselves, while Mirror and the other attendants gathered around, setting to work.

Using the lake to his advantage, Yi Yu dug a hole beside it to let the water flood the earthen pit; this way, even if it wasn't particularly deep, the children would inevitably panic upon falling in, and with him waiting at the side with weapons, he was confident he could control the situation even if they instinctively tried to climb out.

Regrettably, he had directed those words to the wrong person; how could Li Yun possibly understand any of it? She listened in utter bewilderment, completely oblivious to what he was talking about.

"Then when you said earlier that you were busy landing a wealthy man, you weren't referring to Wu Junhao? Who was it then? Is it also someone from your photography club?" she asked Duan Wei.
