Li Yao's words made Kou Ruhuo's face turn solemn.
The Immortal Cultivators had all fought their way through mountains of corpses and oceans of blood. Their adaptability was very high. Although they had been dazzled by the astounding discovery just now, Kou Ruhuo soon noticed a lot of suspicious points after Li Yao's explanation.
"Also, don't you feel that the series of relics is too complete, Senior Kou?"
Li Yao pointed at the surroundings and said, "Since the Pangu people were at a disadvantage in the battle of planetary warships, why did human beings, as the winners, not clean up the battlefield and sabotage it? Why did they leave so many things for us?"
"It's not hard to explain," Kou Ruhuo said.
"The planetary warships are so large that the cities of the Pangu people and the escape centers that we discovered can't be unique. Chances are that there are almost a hundred of them!
"Hundreds of cities and escape centers. Most of them were severely damaged and looted. We just happened to find one that was left out."
"That's exactly the problem."
Li Yao analyzed calmly. "Assuming that there are a hundred cities and escape centers of the Pangu people on this planet, ninety-nine of them were destroyed in the war, and we found the only one that was still intact after only a few days. What are the odds?"
Kou Ruhuo was silent for a long time. Killing intent leaked out of the gaps of his Crystal Suit, as he said coldly, "What are you trying to say exactly?"
Li Yao's heart was beating faster and faster, as if an invisible ferocious beast was crouching on his back and twisting his neck with its barbed tongue, making him feel creeped out.
He even had no time to worry about whether or not his identity would be exposed. He asked boldly, "Senior Kou, if I may ask, was this place your original destination after a long journey from the Imperium of True Human Beings?"
Of the three Immortal Cultivators, Kou Ruhuo was the one who was least fond of schemes. After hesitating for a moment, he replied quickly, "No. It doesn't matter if I tell you the truth. Our original destination was the Flying Star Sector. We were planning to explore and inspect your world! However, when we were about to reach the Flying Star Sector, we received a mysterious pulse signal from this area. That's why we changed our direction and came here to take a look. "
"The Flying Star Sector is a starship civilization. We know a thing or two about long-distance space voyages. Your starship must've run out of fuel after passing through the entire sea of stars, right? The fuel is about to run out, but you still dare to make the decision to change course. You are indeed very courageous! "
Li Yao smiled and continued to ask, "Senior Kou said that you received a mysterious pulse signal. Did all three of you receive it, or did one of you receive it?"
Kou Ruhuo was dazed for a moment before he said, "It was Tang Qianhe who received the pulse signal and strongly suggested that we turn around and explore this area. Neither Elder Su nor I noticed anything wrong."
"However, every profession has its own specialties. In the sea of stars, there are countless signals triggered by spiritual waves and astronomical phenomena all the time. It is the expertise of a navigator to distinguish the valuable signals from the messy waves. Neither Elder Su nor I are good at it!
"Tang Qianhe has received professional training in that regard. She is one of the best space exploration specialists. Since she argued so strongly, we naturally respect her professional judgment!"
Li Yao felt that his entire spine was soaked in icy water. His voice was so cold that his teeth were almost falling off. "So to speak, Senior Kou and Senior Su never intended to explore this area in the first place, and it was Senior Tang who persuaded you many times that you were brought here by force because she said that the pulse signal here was very weird, right?"
Kou Ruhuo nodded slowly. Suddenly, he shuddered and said solemnly, "Are you suggesting that …"
"I just thought of something all of a sudden!"
Li Yao's teeth were clattering. He mumbled, "The single escape capsules of the Pangu clan adopt a hibernation system. It is obvious that they are prepared to be found successfully after the escapees are launched into the sea of stars and drift for hundreds of years, right?"
"Yes."
Kou Ruhuo nodded.
"The universe is a boundless place. Even if the Pangu clan is lucky enough to survive the hibernation state, how can they ensure that they will be found by their companions? After all, on the scale of the grand universe, a tiny single escape capsule is even more insignificant than a speck of dust! "
Li Yao said solemnly. "If it were me, I would've installed a certain piece of magical equipment that could send out distress signals inside the escape capsule and send messages in all directions incessantly. I'm here. Come and save me!
"Such distress signals should've been condensed and encrypted through special methods so that only our allies can recognize them. For the bystanders and the enemies, they will be nothing more than meaningless cosmic noises!
"Senior Kou, you are a magical equipment expert. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Kou Ruhuo pressed the hilt of the lightsaber on his waist softly and replied, one word after another, "Very reasonable!"
"Therefore …"
Li Yao's voice seemed to be coming from a black hole. It was extremely gloomy and cold. "What was the pulse signal that Tang Qianhe received from the planetary warship exactly?"
"Not good!"
Kou Ruhuo spat. "Tang Qianhe said just now that she seemed to have found something, but she was not sure and asked Master Su to identify it!"
"What!"
Li Yao was greatly alarmed. He subconsciously looked at Tang Qianhe and Su Changfa together with Kou Ruhuo.
Right then …
Deep inside the escape center, a dazzling ball of light suddenly burst out and expanded to more than a kilometer away, swallowing countless pieces of magical equipment and war debris!
The remnants of the magical equipment at the periphery were swept away by the blast, turning into scorching metal streams that swept in all directions!
The escape center that had been silent for hundreds of thousands of years was completely woken up by the scorching heatwaves and the deafening explosions. The last bit of spiritual energy inside countless pieces of magical equipment was activated in the resonance, too, making the battlefield as messy as a pot of boiling soup of particles!
Su Changfa's horrified screams echoed in the public communication channel of the four of them.
As it happened, an earthshaking explosion took place right where he and Tang Qianhe were!
Like a startled bird whose wings had been broken, Tang Qianhe was blown away by the blast brutally. Her Crystal Suit was on the brink of destruction as she flew toward the two of them in a hurry. While flying, she screamed in the communication channel, "Not — not good. Master Su …"
She seemed to be too frightened to speak clearly. The distance between her and Kou Ruhuo was shortened instantly.
"Don't talk!"
Kou Ruhuo bellowed at Li Yao in the private channel and charged at Tang Qianhe.
Li Yao heard the bald, muscular man's anxious voice in the communication channel. "Little Tang, what's going on?"
Li Yao immediately realized what was going on!
Something was definitely wrong with Tang Qianhe. Su Changfa had probably been killed by her!
Right now, she was trying to ambush Kou Ruhuo, too.
Kou Ruhuo, on the other hand, had made up his mind instantly. He pretended that he did not know what was going on, preparing to ambush Tang Qianhe instead!
Those Immortal Cultivators are truly cunning and sordid!
Li Yao, who was squatting nearby, thought to himself.
There was only the last five hundred meters between Tang Qianhe and Kou Ruhuo.
Li Yao could vaguely see that tiny starlight was condensing around the power rune arrays on the back of Kou Ruhuo's Crystal Suit.
It was a sign that the power rune arrays were about to output the maximum power and accelerate the speed to the maximum!
Right when Tang Qianhe was about to step into the death trap, she suddenly felt alarmed. As if she had been whipped brutally, she turned around and fled without the slightest sign!
Kou Ruhuo roared. The Erratic Light Cannons that he had been preparing could only be launched in a hurry. Hundreds of colorful whips of light spurted out of his shoulders, chest, and hands and darted toward Tang Qianhe brutally in unbelievable arcs!
Li Yao had thought that Tang Qianhe was only in the Core Formation Stage, but the flames of spiritual energy around her expanded to the level of Yuanying in the blink of an eye. Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Their superstring light collided brutally, raising thousands of broken threads of light, which then expanded into colorful soap bubbles and rose up slowly!
Tang Qianhe resisted Kou Ruhuo's critical strike with the immense power of the Erratic Light Cannon. She did not intend to delay him at all. Without looking back, she dashed to the other side of the escape center!
She had been hiding her capability all the time. Judging from her ghostly body and the thick superstring shield, even if Li Yao and Kou Ruhuo attacked at the same time, they might not have been able to stop her immediately! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was no telling when she had set up countless smoke grenades and interference grenades among the debris on the battlefield. Her skills were so delicate that even Li Yao had been fooled!
Now that she had burst out all of a sudden, the entire escape center was enshrouded in a black fog that looked like glue. Li Yao's crystal cameras and scanning magical equipment were all jammed. There was nothing but snowflakes and ripples on his light beam. He could not read any valid information at all!
Li Yao gritted his teeth and released his telepathic thoughts against the intense interference. He spread out his telepathic thoughts and locked onto Tang Qianhe's location!
He immediately sucked in a breath of cold air!
Tang Qianhe had snuck to the Pangu who had been caught in the hibernation state under the cover of the smoke grenades and the interference!
Most of the hundreds of spiritual puppets were under Su Changfa's control. But right now, Su Changfa's situation was unknown, and the spiritual puppets were not likely to attack their own people. Unable to tell what was going on, they were all frozen where they were!
Some of the spiritual puppets were under the control of Tang Qianhe and Kou Ruhuo respectively. They immediately split into two sides and attacked each other!
Tang Qianhe, on the other hand, triggered an enormous 3D control rune array interface in front of the single escape capsule of the Pangu under the cover of more than a hundred spiritual puppets on her side.
The control menu was designed for the Pangu and was not suitable for the 'petite' body of human beings.
Tang Qianhe, on the other hand, was flying up and down like a butterfly. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water!
"What — what is she doing exactly?"
Seeing that Tang Qianhe had inputted dozens of runes in the blink of an eye, Li Yao and Kou Ruhuo both felt a chill that could freeze their souls.
They were asking the obvious.
Tang Qianhe's purpose was obvious.
