393: Exposure? Who dares to come and grab it! (6600-word chapter)

Sa Shui and Nalan Shan secretly exchanged glances, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

Yu Chen and Yu Meng could only sit below, their expressions incomparably respectful.

The elder leading them had his eyes closed, resting, and Yu Chen and Yu Meng clearly dared not disturb him.

This posture greatly agitated the two of them.

Because the important figure's status was even higher than they had anticipated!

After all, even if an ordinary important figure arrived, he wouldn't keep his eyes closed the entire time, ignoring Yu Chen, the ruler of Yu Star.

This complete disregard for Yu Chen could only mean one thing!

That is, this important figure's status was too high!

So unimaginably high that he would treat Yu Chen so casually, letting his junior handle the negotiations.

And the higher the important figure's status, the more advantageous it would be for the two of them.

At the very least, the rewards they would receive would definitely not be small!

If they could also seize the opportunity to curry favor with the important figure, or at least establish a slight connection to make an impression on him, then they would truly soar!

Therefore, Sa Shui and Nalan Shan were even more excited.

Yu Chen merely glanced at them, and after they introduced themselves, he asked, "I see your urgent connection request mentioned discovering traces of the Wu Cang Clan. Is this true?"

"It's true, we even know the location of the Wu Cang Clan!" Sa Shui immediately replied.

"Oh? You know the location but still came to report? Then you must have already tried to capture him, right? What unexpected event occurred?" Yu Chen's eyes flashed as he directly asked.

These words made Sa Shui and Nalan Shan instantly feel a bit awkward, a sense of being seen through.

"Lord Yu Chen, we did not..." Sa Shui subconsciously tried to cover it up.

"Is that so?"

But before he could finish speaking, Yu Chen interrupted him with a cold snort:

"Sa Shui, since you've already come here, be sensible. Think carefully about the consequences before speaking certain words. If you lie, don't blame me for being merciless!"

After speaking, Yu Chen paused slightly, then coldly looked at Sa Shui and warned:

"Some petty cleverness, don't display it when you shouldn't. Honestly state the unexpected events you encountered. Do not try to conceal anything. If, during the subsequent search and capture, we encounter an unexpected event you failed to mention, you will not be able to bear the consequences!"

With that, Yu Chen said no more, merely staring coldly at Sa Shui.

Normally, he wouldn't be so ruthless towards people from other civilizations in Home Universe.

Although Yu Star was a Level 7 civilization, the most powerful civilization in Home Universe, it could be said to possess the strength and qualifications to control the entire Home Universe.

However, its relationship with other civilizations was not, strictly speaking, a truly complete superior-subordinate or affiliated relationship.

Other Level 5 and 6 civilizations had a high degree of autonomy, and in some matters, they didn't necessarily have to report to Yu Star.

For example, in the current situation, even if Sa Shui and others knew the location of the Wu Cang Clan, they could have secretly captured him and hidden him themselves, as long as their confidentiality work was thorough.

But they came here to inform, which could only mean one thing: Sa Shui and his team must have already attempted to capture him, but an unexpected event occurred, leading to a failed capture.

And that unexpected event was definitely far beyond the limits that Sa Shui and their civilization could handle.

Otherwise, Yu Chen would not believe that this guy would directly report such a matter involving such huge interests.

But since they had already chosen to report, especially now in front of Lin Yang and White Fatty Old Man, this guy, Sa Shui, still wanted to play some petty tricks, which Yu Chen could not tolerate.

Although he did not believe that any unexpected event within Home Universe could pose a threat to Lin Yang and White Fatty Old Man, it was still necessary to clarify the entire process of Sa Shui's attempted capture.

Otherwise, if any trouble arose, even if it wouldn't cause any harm to Lin Yang and White Fatty Old Man, if it caused Lin Yang to develop any resentment towards them, Sa Shui's sins would not be redeemed even by a hundred deaths.

Stared at coldly by Yu Chen, Sa Shui instantly broke out in a cold sweat and immediately realized something, quickly saying:

"Lord Yu Chen, please forgive me. I was anxious and misspoke just now. I meant to say that we did indeed try to capture him, but the space around the planet where the Wu Cang Clan was located seems to have been shielded by some advanced power. We couldn't decipher that shielding power, so..."

At this point, Sa Shui did not continue speaking, but instead looked cautiously at Yu Chen, his meaning already self-evident.

Yu Chen, still staring at him coldly, spoke the second half of the sentence that Sa Shui was too embarrassed to say: "So, knowing that you had no hope of capturing the Wu Cang Clan, you thought of reporting it?"

"...Yes." Sa Shui nodded awkwardly.

"Hmph, are there any other unexpected events?" Yu Chen did not dwell on this point, as everyone has selfish motives, but asked again.

"This... No more." Sa Shui immediately replied.

"Are you sure there are no other unexpected factors?"

Yu Chen's gaze grew colder.

From Sa Shui's momentary hesitation and evasive eyes, he could tell that this guy still hadn't told the whole truth, so he immediately let out another cold shout:

"Sa Shui, I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me the whole story, otherwise..."

A faint killing intent directly enveloped Sa Shui.

Sa Shui shivered all over and hurriedly swore: "Lord Yu Chen, I truly haven't concealed anything else. When we tracked the Wu Cang Clan's location, we found that the original planetary space was shielded. We tried to decipher the shield several times but failed. As for why it was shielded, and by what power, we truly do not know."

"Oh? Is that so? Do you truly not know why that place was shielded, or by whom and what kind of power it was shielded?"

Suddenly, Lin Yang turned around, looked at Sa Shui, and spoke in a low voice.

"Lord, I truly do not know..."

Hearing Lin Yang, this important figure, question him, Sa Shui's heart trembled, and he quickly gritted his teeth and firmly replied.

"Hehe, Sa Shui, lift your head, look me in the eye, and then tell me if you truly do not know!" Lin Yang said leisurely.

"This... This humble one dares not." Sa Shui's heart inexplicably trembled, and he still kept his head down.

"I grant you the right to look me in the eye. Look at my face, then give your answer!" Lin Yang's voice turned cold.

"Lord... Then, this humble one will be presumptuous!" Sa Shui gritted his teeth, stood up, and looked directly at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang also watched Sa Shui, with a hint of a sneer.

The next instant.

When their gazes met, and Sa Shui saw Lin Yang's face, he first froze for two seconds, then seemed to recall something. In an instant, his face changed drastically, showing shock, and he exclaimed in horror:

"You... You... It's... It's you..."

He seemed to be utterly terrified, unable to speak coherently, his whole body trembling.

He kept saying "You... You..." for a long time but couldn't get a proper name out.

Lin Yang, however, looked coldly at Sa Shui and said in a low voice: "Indeed, it is I. It seems you recognized me. That guy last time really transmitted the image immediately."

"Thud!"

Hearing this, Sa Shui directly plopped down onto the ground, his eyes fixed on Lin Yang, as if looking at some great horror. He mumbled like a lost soul:

"How is this possible? How can this be? How can you be the important figure who descended upon Yu Star..."

Sa Shui's terrified expression made Nalan Shan, who was beside him, unable to resist, and without Lin Yang's permission, he uncontrollably raised his head slightly to glance at Lin Yang's face.

Afterward, he too instantly showed a look of horror, subconsciously pointing at Lin Yang and saying, "Lin Yang? It's actually you?! The important figure who descended upon Yu Star just now, greeted by a golden path stretching ten thousand li, was you??"

"Yes, it's me!" Lin Yang also showed a slight smile to Nalan Shan.

When these two guys came in earlier, he had intentionally turned his body to the side. After hearing Sa Shui speak for a while, he confirmed that the Wu Cang Clan they were referring to was Cang Miao.

Although he hadn't met these two guys before, he now knew that they were the ones from the Level 5 civilization who had intercepted him earlier!

Last time, Gao Shui set up an interception with a fleet from a high-ranking official of that Level 5 civilization at the edge of the Galaxy, snatching Cang Miao. Fortunately, the Silver-haired woman suddenly appeared to help, and they were all able to escape safely.

Although the Silver-haired woman eventually killed Gao Shui and the entire fleet, including that high-ranking official.

But at the last moment, that high-ranking official still managed to transmit their image data back.

Lin Yang had not forgotten this matter!

The reason he had previously asked White Fatty Old Man to help fold Blue Star's space was to prevent retaliation from this Level 5 civilization.

It was just that he had been busy participating in the Cosmic Competition later and hadn't had time to investigate the specific information of that Level 5 civilization at the time.

But he hadn't expected that before he even went to settle accounts with them, they would deliver themselves to his doorstep again!

"You're still thinking about Cang Miao. Since you know Blue Star's spatial location is shielded, I suppose you've been investigating there quite a bit these past few years? Hehe."

Lin Yang smiled faintly:

"It's just a pity that times have changed. The strength and status of our two sides will be reversed today."

As his words fell, Nalan Shan, who had calmed down slightly from the shock, immediately began to beg for mercy: "Please, Lord, forgive us, we..."

However, before Nalan Shan could finish his plea, Lin Yang directly waved his hand and interrupted him:

"Forgive? Back then, you almost massacred my home planet. At that time, why didn't you think about forgiving the innocent people on my home planet?"

"Lord Lin Yang, please forgive our sins. We know we were wrong. Please, Lord, forgive our sins!" Nalan Shan didn't know what to say and could only desperately beg for mercy.

"Know you were wrong? Heh..." Lin Yang sneered: "I see you don't know you were wrong, but rather you're scared! If I wasn't who I am now, would you be begging me for mercy because you fear my status?"

"I... I..." Nalan Shan's heart was filled with panic. For a moment, he couldn't find a better excuse to argue and became speechless.

"Alright, Nalan Shan, Sa Shui, since you two have actively delivered yourselves to my doorstep, I won't be polite. The grudge from back then, it's time for you to repay it today."

Lin Yang was too lazy to say more to the two of them. The power of a Super Gene Warrior directly enveloped them both.

"Lin Yang, must you kill us today?"

Sa Shui had also recovered from his shock at this point. Seeing Lin Yang reveal killing intent, he was immediately provoked and roared with bloodshot eyes:

"Although we almost massacred your home planet back then, didn't we ultimately fail? Weren't you, your home planet, and Cang Miao, that Wu Cang Clan, all safe in the end? Instead, Gao Shui and one of our fleets were destroyed. We lost a special high-ranking mercenary, a high-ranking official, and a large number of warships. Isn't this enough to atone for our mistakes?"

"Atonement? Hehe..." Lin Yang was amused. "If Senior Yue hadn't arrived in time to save us back then, Cang Miao, my entire home planet, and I would probably have had our ashes scattered by you. If I wasn't who I am today, what kind of scene would it be now?"

He stared at Sa Shui, filled with murderous intent: "More words are useless. Go to your death."

"Lin Yang! Must you really kill us?" Sa Shui roared again, asking.

"Must kill!"

Lin Yang also gave an affirmative answer.

How could a grudge from back then not be repaid?!

It was impossible to simply laugh it off because Blue Star, himself, and Cang Miao were ultimately saved by the Silver-haired woman.

"Hehehe, Lin Yang, although I don't know what happened to you these past few years, transforming from that chased, low-level existence into someone enjoying the highest courtesies on Yu Star, but even so, what of it?"

Sa Shui, seeing that Lin Yang had made up his mind to kill, knew that he would surely die today, so he no longer hesitated. Instead, he sneered and threatened him back:

"You should be very clear about the value of a Wu Cang Clan! Once the news gets out, not even Yu Star can protect him! Do you think we came without any preparations?"

"I'll tell you the truth! Before we came, we made all preparations. If anything happens to us today, your and Cang Miao's information will be directly transmitted to the entire Cosmic Mercenary Corps network throughout the Ten Thousand Universes."

"By then, everyone in the Ten Thousand Universes will know that you have a Wu Cang Clan slave!"

"At that time, let alone Yu Star, even the highest civilizations won't be able to protect you!"

At this point, Sa Shui seemed to have found some confidence. He paused and said coldly, "I advise you to let us go back today, and let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, if we die, you will also die!"

Lin Yang simply laughed: "Do you think this kind of threat works on me?"

"What do you mean?" Sa Shui shouted.

"My meaning is very simple." Lin Yang smiled slightly: "You can send it whenever you want. You can now inform the major civilizations of the Ten Thousand Universes that I have a Wu Cang Clan, and I want to see who dares to snatch him!"

Silence!

As Lin Yang's words came out, Sa Shui and Nalan Shan were both stunned.

Afterward, Sa Shui burst into wild laughter: "Haha, hahaha, Lin Yang, this is truly the funniest joke I've ever heard. Who do you think you are? Do you think that just because you receive preferential treatment in Yu Star, you are truly a big shot who can look down on everything? How dare you say such arrogant words!"

"Compared to the Super Powers in the Ten Thousand Universes, what is Yu Star? Compared to the highest civilization, the Universe Country, the entire Home Universe can be destroyed at any time!"

"You are simply a frog in a well, utterly ridiculous!"

Lin Yang let Sa Shui finish speaking before calmly saying, "A frog in a well? Utterly ridiculous? I think these two terms are more suitable to describe you."

"Arrogant!" Sa Shui sneered.

"How about this, I don't think it needs to be so complicated. There's no need to wait until you die to send it; that way, you won't see the results, which would be a bit unwilling. How about I send it for you now!"

Lin Yang ignored the screaming Sa Shui and instead edited a message himself, sending it directly to the public network of the Ten Thousand Universes.

In an instant, it ignited the Ten Thousand Universes!

"News of a Wu Cang Clan? So explosive? A Wu Cang Clan has actually appeared?"

"This is probably going to cause cosmic chaos."

"This news couldn't be fake, just to create a buzz, could it? Traces of the Wu Cang Clan haven't appeared in the Ten Thousand Universes for many years."

"Fake? Do you want to see who the sender of the message is authenticated as?!"

"Who?"

"Don't you have eyes? Can't you see? Can't you see those big words 'Lin Yang'?"

"Lin Yang? Such a familiar name... Wait, is this the Lin Yang I know?"

"Nonsense, who else could it be but Lin Yang? This was sent using an authenticated Cosmic Competition champion player account. This year's champion is Your Excellency Lin Yang!"

"Holy crap, it really is him. Well, that's it then. There won't be any cosmic chaos this time. Who dares to go to Yu Xia Universe to snatch Your Excellency Lin Yang's person?"

"Exactly. Your Excellency Lin Yang is practically unrivaled among his peers, and the older generation cannot make a move. Although the Wu Cang Clan is incredibly valuable, with the Wu Cang Clan with Your Excellency Lin Yang, no one dares to snatch him, no matter how amazing his value is."

"Yes, the same generation can't beat him, and the older generation doesn't dare to fight him. Trying to snatch Your Excellency Lin Yang's person is just asking for trouble."

"Alright, let's all disperse. Since the Wu Cang Clan is in Your Excellency Lin Yang's hometown, this time it's as good as nothing happened."

"Damn, I'm so jealous. Why do I feel like Your Excellency Lin Yang is taking advantage of everything in the world!"

"Now that Your Excellency Lin Yang's combat power is so strong, under the rule that the older generation cannot make a move, once the Wu Cang Clan also fully grows into a Super Warrior, wouldn't the two of them together sweep across their generation?"

"Oh... you know, thinking about it, it really seems to be the case. I truly feel it's unfair to the other geniuses of the Ten Thousand Universes who grew up in the same era as Your Excellency Lin Yang. In this era, they are destined to be suppressed by Your Excellency Lin Yang without any power to fight back!"

"Well, I don't think we can say that. Although Your Excellency Lin Yang is the champion of this Cosmic Competition, and even the seed players of the Universe Country are not his opponents, their generation's path has just begun. There are so many variables in the future, and no one can say for sure if others will seize great luck and achieve an overtake."

"That's also true. Before exhausting all their potential and opportunities, who can ultimately become the most brilliant existence of this era, it really can't be concluded so quickly."

"Alright, why discuss things so far in the future..."

"..."

In the Ten Thousand Universes, countless people were excited by the sudden news of a Wu Cang Clan's appearance, but upon seeing that it was sent by Lin Yang, they quickly calmed down.

No other reason, just because of the Silver-haired woman's words a few days ago.

Any older generation in the Ten Thousand Universes who attacks Lin Yang will suffer her wrath.

But among his peers, there is currently no one who can stably defeat Lin Yang.

If they cannot 100% kill Lin Yang, it would be attracting a terrifying enemy to their entire cosmic civilization.

In this situation, unless it's an alien race, no human cosmic civilization is willing to take such a huge risk to provoke Lin Yang.

The value of the Wu Cang Clan is very high.

But it's also relative.

When the risk far outweighs the potential benefits, even the Wu Cang Clan can be abandoned!

Thus, it created a rare spectacle, seen only once in ten thousand years!

The Wu Cang Clan, who would have caused disputes, wars, and frantic snatch among the major Super Civilizations of the Ten Thousand Universes whenever they appeared under any circumstances, this time caused no ripples whatsoever.

"The history of the Ten Thousand Universes is about to add another glorious chapter."

Someone sighed deeply.

On Yu Star's side.

Sa Shui and Nalan Shan were initially greatly shocked and puzzled when they saw Lin Yang actively spreading news about Cang Miao.

Sa Shui even couldn't help but mock a few sentences: "Lin Yang, you are too arrogant. Do you think you can really withstand the invasion of those cosmic highest civilizations?"

While mocking, he had already prepared to watch Lin Yang become a laughing stock, targeted by those highest civilizations.

But soon, Sa Shui and Nalan Shan couldn't laugh anymore!

Indeed, the news Lin Yang sent about Cang Miao being a Wu Cang Clan caused a huge sensation in the Ten Thousand Universes.

But the trend gradually became wrong... First, it was the unified address of Lin Yang by all parties: Lin Yang!

This immediately caused a sense of unease to rise in the hearts of Sa Shui and Nalan Shan.

In the entire Ten Thousand Universes, Lin Yang was actually so famous?

Then, when they saw the news that Lin Yang was the champion of this Cosmic Competition, Sa Shui and Nalan Shan were even more stunned as if struck by lightning.

"Cosmic Competition... champion?"

"How is this possible?!"

Sa Shui and Nalan Shan were both dumbfounded!

They both knew Lin Yang's strength very well!

Two years ago, he was just an ordinary person who could only be hunted down without any power to resist.

But in just over two years, Lin Yang had actually become the champion of the Cosmic Competition, which made them shiver as if they had seen a ghost!

As a fifth-level civilization, they knew the existence and prestige of the Cosmic Competition!

It was just that due to the weakness of a fifth-level civilization, they were not qualified to watch the Cosmic Competition live.

Originally, they could have watched the Cosmic Competition through live broadcast, but at that time, Yu Chen and Yu Meng believed that the Home Universe would be deprived of its cosmic name in this Cosmic Competition, and they were busy dealing with Universe No. 364, so they did not apply to broadcast this Cosmic Competition within the Home Universe. They did not want the civilizations of the Home Universe to see their universe being humiliated!

This also led to Sa Shui and others having no way to understand the situation of the Cosmic Competition.

Although the Cosmic Mercenary Corps' cosmic network can connect the Ten Thousand Universes.

But in different universes, it is also subject to some rules.

If Yu Star did not open the permissions and pay for it, then the Cosmic Mercenary Corps would also respect the wishes of the ruling civilization of the Home Universe and block relevant information about the Cosmic Competition on the network of the Home Universe.

This also caused Sa Shui and the others to be completely ignorant of the situation of the Cosmic Competition.

Therefore, now hearing that Lin Yang was the champion of this Cosmic Competition, it directly scared them so much that they almost peed their pants!

As for the later words about the rules that the older generation cannot make a move, they completely did not understand them.

However, it didn't matter if they didn't understand. They still understood one thing, and that was that Lin Yang now indeed had a formidable background, and it was a terrifying background that was enough to deter the highest civilizations of the Ten Thousand Universes!

Even those highest civilizations, after learning that the Wu Cang Clan slave belonged to Lin Yang, did not make any statement.

This made Sa Shui and them feel an unprecedented terror!

Even the highest civilizations dare not make a move, what kind of terrifying background is this?!

They completely couldn't imagine it.

"Now, you two can rest in peace." Lin Yang said.

It was his mercy to let these two guy die a clear death.

Of course, the most important reason was that Cang Miao would be exposed sooner or later. He had thought about whether to publicize Cang Miao's existence before.

And today, he was certainly going to kill Sa Shui and the other guy. Since Cang Miao's existence would be exposed immediately after killing Sa Shui and the other guy, he might as well take the opportunity to tell everyone in the Ten Thousand Universes that Cang Miao was under his protection, directly nipping some subsequent troubles in the bud!

"I... I'm not reconciled..."

Before he died, Sa Shui hoarsely spoke his last words in life.

The rewards and appreciation he had fantasized about before coming, and the recognition of important figures, at this moment, all turned into a bubble.

Lin Yang was very decisive. After the announcement, he directly dealt with Sa Shui and Nalan Shan, then turned to look at Yu Chen:

"Yu Chen, you shouldn't blame me for killing them, right?"

Yu Chen gave a wry smile.

Blame?

He would be a ghost if he dared to blame him!

Not to mention that it was the greed of Sa Shui's civilization that caused the initial fault; even if it wasn't, Lin Yang would have killed them if he wanted to.

They couldn't be compared with Lin Yang.

Apart from anything else, just Lin Yang's Merit in saving the Home Universe this time, killing two people from a fifth-level civilization who were at fault, was absolutely no problem.

"Since Sa Shui's civilization offended Your Excellency Lin Yang so much before, and even wanted to slaughter Your Excellency Lin Yang's home planet's entire clan, they deserved their fate."

After a wry smile, Yu Chen replied.

"My dear disciple, there's still one person on the spaceship of these two guy docked at the port. That person seems to have an even stronger killing intent towards you and is currently trying to escape."

Suddenly, Bai Pang spoke.

"Ah? There's still one person? And with even stronger killing intent towards me?"

Lin Yang was slightly startled.

Who is this again?

Does he have so many enemies?
