These people were too scary! What chilled the hearts of the onlookers the most was the eternal indifference on their faces, as if they were not carrying out a massacre, but doing something that couldn't be more normal. Even the Butcher could not be so cold-blooded.
Everyone here was skilled in combat, and the way Ye Chong and his team demonstrated their skills, and their terrifying strength, made them think of the term "Jie expert" in their minds! Only a Jie expert could possess such strength.
Eight Jie experts!
What did that mean? Eight Jie experts in combat. No one would believe it if they did not see it with their own eyes. As the synonym for the strongest Grandmaster of Combat, Jie expert was the pinnacle of this ancient profession. Generation after generation, it was shrouded in a layer of mystery.
There were not many Jie experts in He Yue Galaxy. Most of them were recruited by the major forces. Usually, they were only responsible for instructing the disciples of these forces in combat. They rarely fought, and occasionally, they would play the role of bodyguards. Even the Ye Family, which had the most Jie experts among the Three Aristocratic Families, only had five.
Now, there were eight Jie experts here! Where did these people come from?
Ye Chong did not even look at the people on the ground. He knew that none of them would survive. He said, "Let's go." The group disappeared like a gust of wind.
That was terrifying! If there were still people who had doubts about the strength of this group of people from the Mortal World just now, the doubts in these people's hearts were immediately shattered by this ghostly speed.
The smell of blood permeated the air. Vomiting sounds could be heard from the crowd.
In the sky above Foundation City, another form of confrontation was taking place.
More than 300 mechs were divided into three groups, facing each other silently in the air. The air was filled with killing intent, ready to fight at any moment. None of the mechs dared to make a move. Both sides were almost equal in strength. If one of them dared to make a move, the other two sides would join forces to attack.
The strange situation made the leaders of the three forces groan inwardly. However, they dared not make a move. If the two sides joined forces to attack one side, it would be disastrous for the one being attacked.
The ominous feeling in Luo Xing's heart intensified. Even though he had heard from the snow maidens that the other two families were also determined to capture this group of people, he didn't expect them to act so quickly. In the current situation, he had no other choice but to wait here.
The only thing he could do now was to pray that the Grandmasters of Combat under him could complete the mission. Nine out of the thirty-six should not be a problem, right? He had a good understanding of each of the people he recruited. These thirty-six Grandmasters of Combat had all completed their Ascetic Training. Some of them were even heirs of ancient combat sects. It could be said that these 36 people were already a considerable force in Foundation City.
The three aristocratic families were at daggers drawn. This was the first time in decades that they had clashed head-on without concealment. The situation in Foundation City became tense. Every mech pilot boarded their mechs as fast as they could. At this moment, only mechs could provide them with protection. In just 10 minutes, the sky above Foundation City was filled with mechs.
The people around looked at the 300 mechs facing off in fear. If the three parties really fought, Foundation City would be in trouble. Those with foresight were even more worried. Could this be a sign of the coming of the Age of Chaos? The Three Aristocratic Families were fighting without restraint. The consequences would be far-reaching. He Yue Galaxy would be plunged into a long period of turmoil.
No one understood why they were fighting.
Just then, a large group of mechs flew towards them. There were thousands of them. But at this moment, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. This time, there shouldn't be a fight. These mechs were the rulers of this place, the Ku Lie Clan.
In the end, the conflict was settled with the Ku Lie Clan's mediation.
When Luo Xing saw the thirty-six subordinates under him, his slightly anxious heart almost stopped beating, and the blood drained from his face in an instant.
Eight Jie experts attacked together. Hundreds of mechs from the Three Aristocratic Families, and the intervention of the Ku Lie Clan. The situation in Foundation City was tense. The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire He Yue Galaxy in a very short time. Even the unknown name of Hai Lian became a household name.
Eight Jie experts. That was a shocking number. People could be heard discussing this matter everywhere. The sudden appearance of these nine Jie experts seemed to have come out of nowhere, and with extremely bloody methods, they slaughtered thirty-six Grandmasters of Combat who had completed their Ascetic Training. Also, it was worth noting that the 36 Grandmasters of Combat were experts recruited by the Xue Lai Clan.
Who were these eight Jie experts? Why did they kill the 36 Grandmasters of Combat? How were they related to the Xue Lai Clan? Suddenly, all sorts of speculations arose.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the eight Jie experts to make their next move. Jie experts were only legends in the eyes of the commoners. They were more likely to pique people's curiosity.
However, the eight Jie experts, along with Hai Lian, seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Disappeared was the most appropriate word to describe it. They disappeared into thin air without leaving any trace. In fact, the moment the eight Jie experts made their move, they had received unprecedented attention. The spies of the major forces in every city on Crescent Planet had received orders to keep an eye on these people. Not only Crescent Planet, but all the planets around it had received the same order.
However, these people just disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
Soon, people's attention was drawn to the Three Aristocratic Families. The large-scale mobilization of the Three Aristocratic Families did not escape the eyes of the observant. The experts of the Xue Lai Clan were heading to Crescent Planet, the experts of the Ye Family were arriving, the trump card of the Xi Feng Tribe was about to arrive, and so on. All these news had drawn everyone's attention to Crescent Planet.
There was an undercurrent on Crescent Planet.
Ye Chong did not have time to think about these things. He was too weak now, and fighting them head-on would only lead to death. The group ran towards Sang Mu's location as fast as they could. Ye Chong no longer cared about exposing his strength, and ran as fast as he could. It had been a long time since he ran so fast, and he moved like a ghost. The others saw this and quickly followed suit. However, they were not like Ye Chong, who was used to using mechs to travel. The Sang Tribe had their own way of running and flying. Compared to Ye Chong's physical strength, it was much easier for them. Besides, after 500 years of development, this method had been perfected. It was much more efficient than before.
Ye Chong and his group's bloody methods had shocked all the bystanders, and no one dared to chase after them.
The group soon arrived at Sang Mu's location.
"Everyone, take out your mechs. Tie, give me Hai Lian. We need to get to Apuna as fast as we can. "
"Oh, here you go." Sang Tie handed Hai Lian to Ye Chong, who took it in his hands. Poor Hai Lian, as he was transferred from one person to another, and was still being carried. He was such a big man, but in Sang Tie and Ye Chong's hands, it was as if he was nothing.
Ye Chong deployed Han Jia, and threw Hai Lian into the pilot cabin. Ye Chong followed. The pilot cabin was not big to begin with, and with two people inside, it became very cramped.
Hai Lian finally realized what was going on. He looked at Ye Chong, who had also entered, and said in horror, "No … No …" Did he want to … Hai Lian was used to being a playboy, but when it came to him …
Ye Chong took a look at Hai Lian, confused. However, there was no time for him to think about it now. He moved his hands on the controls, and Han Jia rose into the air. Ye Chong heaved a sigh of relief after entering Han Jia. With Han Jia, he would be able to fight against anyone.
Ye Chong thought that Hai Lian's mech was too slow, so he simply threw him into his pilot cabin. He didn't expect that it was because of this action of his that caused the effect of their group disappearing.
Both Ye Chong's Han Jia and Sang Fan's Collision mechs were full-skeleton mechs. Full-skeleton mechs' excellent anti-detection system allowed them to evade the surveillance around Chord. Along the way, they even passed by a few fleets. However, neither they nor the fleets knew that there were people around them.
Han Jia's holographic scanning system was simple, almost useless. Collision mechs were even worse, with nothing. Even the observation window was pitifully small, much less the holographic scanning system. It would be strange if these people could still notice the enemies behind them. As for the fleets, they were already used to holographic scanning systems. How could they still remember the primitive optical scanning system?
However, the Collision mech's outstanding speed was undeniable.
When they reached Sang Pu, Hai Lian realized that these strange flying machines could move so fast. It turned out that he was the one who slowed down the entire fleet last time. Despite his shock, he could not help but feel envious. His Moonlight mech was known for its speed, but compared to these strange flying machines, his mech crawled like a snail.
There was no mech pilot who did not desire the speed of a mech, let alone a mech pilot like Hai Lian. His desire for speed was even greater.
Back at their base camp, everyone could not help but sigh in relief.
However, there was an urgent problem in front of everyone. Where should they go?
Return to Archipelago? That was the last option. In truth, neither Ye Chong nor the Sang Tribe wanted to go back just like that. Since the Three Aristocratic Families had such deep connections with the Three Forces, there must be a way to travel between He Yue and the Five Galaxies. However, since Hai Lian had never heard of the Five Galaxies, these connections must be in the hands of the Three Aristocratic Families, and not known to outsiders. Ye Chong calculated in his mind.
Mu and Shang's whereabouts were unknown, but if they were in the Five Galaxies, Ye Chong believed that he could find them quickly. He had lived with them for too long. They had lived together in many places in the Five Galaxies. With Mu and Shang's meticulousness, if they were really in the Five Galaxies, they would not miss out on monitoring these places. Once he appeared in these places, he could immediately contact them.
However, He Yue Galaxy was too foreign to him. It would be difficult for both sides to contact each other.
The group gathered together.
Ye Chong asked, "Which place in He Yue Galaxy is the weakest among the Three Aristocratic Families?"
"Which place is the weakest among the Three Aristocratic Families? Let me think. " Hai Lian frowned and thought hard. He was quick-witted, and knew that they had become enemies with the Xue Lai Clan. Even if he left now, he would not make it in time. Besides, from what Ye Chong said, it seemed that it was not just the Xue Lai Clan, but all the Three Aristocratic Families. For now, he could not think of any other way to protect himself other than following Ye Chong and the rest.
Everyone's gaze fell on Hai Lian, who was frowning. No one asked about the grudge against the Three Aristocratic Families. He had long become the spiritual leader of the Sang Tribe. They were not afraid of the Three Aristocratic Families. 500 years ago, the Sang Tribe was also one of the Four Aristocratic Families. They had the same noble blood. Besides, they believed that as long as the master was here, the Sang Tribe's revival would be just around the corner.
"Oh, right, I thought of a place." Hai Lian said excitedly, "Gray Valley, let's go to Gray Valley."
"Gray Valley?" Ye Chong repeated.
"Yes, Gray Valley." Hai Lian looked confident, and explained, "Gray Valley is not a valley. It's an area on the other side of the Calamitous Asteroid Belt. It includes a hundred and twenty planets. There used to be a few primitive tribes there, but some freelance mech pilots who resented the Aristocratic Families went there. Gradually, the population grew, but they were all people who resented the Aristocratic Families. They helped the local primitive tribes, and were gradually accepted by the locals. Many of the Aristocratic Families' actions were repulsive. More and more people came to Gray Valley, and they resisted the Aristocratic Families. Later on, it became a forbidden area for the Aristocratic Families. If a mech pilot was found to be from a certain Aristocratic Family, he or she would be hunted down. This hunting was spontaneous, and everyone in Gray Valley would take action. "
There's such a place? Ye Chong was curious.
"The Aristocratic Families tried to take control of Gray Valley, but the first team they sent was met with unprecedented resistance. The alliance was also destroyed. Since then, the legend of the Aristocratic Families was broken. "
Hai Lian's narration caused everyone's thoughts to wander. No matter when, resistance against power always made people's blood boil.
"However, Gray Valley is also an extremely dangerous place. No major forces can establish a foothold there. Most of them are small groups like mech pilot squads. Chaotic battles often occurred, and those without strength would always die the quickest. Those who dare to go there are all mech pilots who are confident in their abilities. That's why people say that the strongest mech pilots are not in the Three Aristocratic Families, but Gray Valley. "
"Gray Valley is the largest black market in the galaxy. To ensure the flow of resources, no one is allowed to attack merchant caravans. This is one of the Three Major Bounty Orders. "
"Three Major Bounty Orders?" Sang Fan asked curiously.
"Yes. Those who violate the Three Major Bounty Orders will be hunted down by everyone in Gray Valley. The first is the Aristocratic Families, the second is those who harm the locals, and the third is those who attack merchant caravans. All three types of people can be killed, and will be rewarded handsomely. "
"Interesting." Sang Pu's expression was calm, but excitement flashed in his eyes.
