593: Zhang Xuwu Emperor's Treasure Vault

"Heh! Trouble's here!"

Chen Heng's eyes lit up like giant searchlights. He was just wondering how to find an excuse to stir up trouble and confront the Void Emperor.

And just like that, an excuse to stir up trouble and confront him arrived.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to start.

Bai Jun, beside him, also drew his heart-questioning sword, and Luo Shuo's fingertips ignited with Black Phoenix Fire.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Aiseya hugged Chen Heng's waist. She was always on edge whenever she was with Chen Heng.

"Leave this to me, please, I can really do it this time!"

"Again?" Chen Heng raised an eyebrow. Last time, Aiseya's attempt to act tough failed... "I guess it could work?"

Chen Heng thought for a moment. If Aiseya ended up fleeing in disarray like last time, it wouldn't make much difference, except for an extra step.

"Go on, go on. I'll wait for you to get beaten up—no, for your negotiation to succeed."

Chen Heng patted Aiseya's shoulder, then sat down with Bai Jun and Luo Shuo.

Aiseya finally breathed a sigh of relief, controlling the vermilion bird ship to slowly land at the spot designated by the three enforcement ships.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Please put down your weapons and exit the ship. We will verify your biological code. Please do not make any aggressive moves."

Completely unlike the aggressive attitude she expected, after seeing the ship stop steadily with no intent to attack, the enforcement ship's warning tone softened.

Aiseya stepped out of the vermilion bird ship under Chen Heng's expectant gaze, obediently displaying her biological code.

"Verification complete. Legion Commander of the Dark Spirit Galaxy Hunting Legion, Aiseya, welcome to Void Galaxy Star No. 1."

"We wish you a pleasant journey here. If you have any spending needs, please visit the Void Interstellar Bank to handle them."

After confirming Aiseya's identity, the enforcement ship turned and left, as if nothing had happened.

"What's going on...?" Aiseya scratched her head in confusion.

She had been to the Void Galaxy before, but this was the first time she had been approached for a biological code check.

"Damn it! She actually managed to fool them!" Chen Heng disappointedly slapped his thigh. He was waiting for them to make a move so he could seize the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Chen Heng, I feel like something's not right in the Void Galaxy?"

Aiseya returned to the vermilion bird ship and said to Chen Heng.

Hearing this, Chen Heng's eyes lit up once more.

"When I came before, there was never such a strict screening. Even if there was, it wouldn't be this tense."

Aiseya's brows were tightly furrowed. It had only been seven years since she last came to the Void Galaxy, how could such a big change have occurred?

"Who cares? We'll just do our own thing, won't we?"

Chen Heng didn't take it seriously at all; he was eager for the Void Galaxy to become chaotic.

He had originally thought the lawless and disorderly Void Zone would be very interesting, but who would have thought this place was also so orderly.

Suddenly, an explosion rang out on a street a hundred meters away.

A slender spaceship shot out of the smoke, soaring into the sky and disappearing.

The smoke quickly cleared, leaving only a destroyed hovercar and a few mangled corpses on the ground.

"..." After a moment of silence, Chen Heng's lips curved into a slight smile.

Those enforcement ships didn't seem to care about such violent incidents. It appeared their earlier inspection of the vermilion bird ship wasn't specifically targeting them.

Rather, something big was indeed about to happen in the Void Galaxy.

"Who wants to go find out?" Chen Heng rubbed his hands; his troublemaking spirit was already struggling to be contained.

"I think I know why..." Only now did Aiseya notice the constantly flashing billboard in the sky above them.

"The triennial Void Emperors Treasury Exhibition and Sale will officially open in thirty-seven hours."

"Void Emperors Treasury, what's that?" Chen Heng was stunned. Would this Void Emperor actually sell his good stuff?

"No, no, no, Chen Heng, you've misunderstood." Aiseya shook her head.

"The Void Emperors Treasury is not actually the 'Void Emperor's' treasury in the true sense, but an organization personally founded by the Void Emperor."

"This organization is called 'Void Emperors Treasury.' They collect all kinds of treasures from across the Universe, and every thirty years, they select some of them for sale."

"Now I understand why the atmosphere feels a bit off. Every time the Void Emperors Treasury opens its exhibition and sale, it attracts a large number of dangerous individuals."

"Not only bandit groups from the surrounding areas, but also some higher civilizations from the Free Zone. The competition can be said to be quite fierce."

"But during this period, the regulation of violent incidents has also become more relaxed. All armed forces are concentrated at the Void Emperors Treasury Exhibition and Sale."

"So?" Chen Heng raised an eyebrow. He wasn't interested in this Void Emperors Treasury.

"So, Chen Heng, that incident where you robbed the Senluo Chamber of Commerce will most likely be left unresolved."

Aiseya had relaxed considerably, at least she no longer had to worry about the Senluo Chamber of Commerce's retaliation at any moment.

The Senluo Chamber of Commerce's purpose for coming this time must be the Void Emperors Treasury. Treasures bought here could easily be resold for thousands of times their price.

The Senluo Chamber of Commerce, known for its greed, would absolutely not miss such a good opportunity to make money.

"Tsk, what a shame..." Chen Heng pouted. It seemed he would have to figure out how to cause trouble and confront the Void Emperor again.

"I just took a look at the location where the Void Emperors Treasury is holding this exhibition and sale; it's not far from us."

Aiseya's pupils projected a map of Void Galaxy Star No. 1, showing that they were only three hundred kilometers from the Void Emperors Treasury Exhibition and Sale.

"I actually don't think it's necessary to be so strict. No one would dare to cause trouble for the Void Emperors Treasury anyway."

"After all, causing trouble for the Void Emperors Treasury is equivalent to directly provoking the Void Emperor. I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to do that..."

Before Aiseya could finish speaking, her skin turned ashen white.

Having relaxed, she had forgotten a very important thing: it seemed there really was a madman beside her who dared to directly provoke the Void Emperor.

Sure enough, Chen Heng smiled.

"Ahem, I'm suddenly interested in the Void Emperors Treasury again. Let's go check it out later, shall we?"

Chen Heng coughed lightly. He definitely wasn't going to cause trouble at the Void Emperors Treasury Exhibition and Sale.

He was interested in treasures and wanted to spend some money while he was at it.

Yes, really.

"Chen Heng, please, don't cause trouble at the Void Emperors Treasury. I haven't witnessed the Dark Spirit Galaxy rise again yet..."

Aiseya now wanted to slap herself hard. Why did she have to run her mouth and tell Chen Heng about this?

"Don't worry, I definitely won't cause trouble. I'm going to spend money. They'll surely welcome me, right?"

Chen Heng waved his hand, completely ignoring Aiseya, who was on the verge of fainting.

"But since we're spending, we'll definitely need to get some money..."

Chen Heng looked around. There shouldn't be any rich people nearby.

"Aiseya, is there any place nearby where rich people gather? I plan to go 'collect some autumn wind' (extort some money)."

"There is, actually. It's in the trading zone about thirteen hundred kilometers away. There are many rich people from various galaxies there."

"Those bandit groups are very rich. No one will care if you get some money from them."

Aiseya understood Chen Heng's meaning; she used to do the same.

"Then it's settled. Lead the way."

Chen Heng was excited. He was very interested in the trading zone here.

Mainly, he was interested in those walking wallets.

"But Chen Heng, I suggest you first open an account at the Void Interstellar Bank. It will be much more convenient for any legitimate transactions in the future."

Aiseya lightly tapped her arm, and a four-digit balance appeared before Chen Heng's eyes.

"Everyone can also open their own accounts, which will make things much more convenient."

"Even stolen money can be deposited into the Void Interstellar Bank. This is one of the origins of the saying 'no rules in the Void Zone'."

"Let's go then." Chen Heng nodded. He was liking the Void Zone more and more.

Stolen money could even be legitimately deposited; this place was too suitable for Chen Heng... Just as Chen Heng and his group were heading to the nearby Void Interstellar Bank, a very miniature spaceship landed on the central star of the Void Galaxy.

"We request an audience with the Void Emperor."

Several burly figures in power armor stepped out of the spaceship, standing respectfully on the empty plain.

"Welcome, great warriors."

A gentle voice sounded in their ears, and a swirling vortex shimmering with starlight appeared before them.

The figures walked into the starlight without hesitation.

After a moment of dizziness, a large mass of distorted and chaotic starlight appeared before their eyes.

"What is it?" This mass of starlight was the mysterious Void Emperor, though this was not his true body, but his manifested conceptual form.

"Great Void Emperor, we have investigated the entire Void Zone and have not found any existence possessing a Star God Seed."

"No, I can feel it. A very powerful existence, like a black hole devouring all things, has entered the Void Zone."

A shining speck of light bounced out, circling around the Void Emperor's conceptual form.

"Be good, don't run around." The Void Emperor's conceptual form transformed into a large hand, enveloping and protecting the speck of light.
