171: Chapter 171 The First Mission Arranged by Wang Chen

Looking at the person in front of him, Wang Chen felt a little excited.

A floral shirt. Large sunglasses. A toothpick dangling from his mouth, riding a small electric scooter...

This scene was exactly the same as the image in his memories from his past life!

However, the fluctuations of the Space Law radiating from the small electric scooter, and the terrifying aura lingering around the watermelon knife at his waist, were all reminding him—this was no longer the person he knew in his past life.

Here, he had become an existence that would make any powerhouse tremble with fear!

"Rise! I am quite happy to be able to see you in this world."

Wang Chen was speaking the truth. Regardless of anything else, being able to see him in this world made him feel a sense of familiarity.

After getting off his vehicle, Hua Qiang casually leaned his small electric scooter to the side.

The small electric scooter just hovered there in mid-air, its wheels still turning slowly.

"Your Majesty, this great hall of yours is truly magnificent."

Hua Qiang first looked around, then clicked his tongue in wonder.

"It's much more luxurious than the place I lived in when I used to collect protection money..."

Hearing this, the corner of Wang Chen's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Collecting protection money? How do you even associate the two?

This is an Imperial Palace, for heaven's sake... How can your cheap little motel that costs a few bucks a day even compare to this?

That was a bit too cutting...

"Hehe... Hua Qiang... I have already learned of your abilities; they are quite extraordinary..."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's praise, Hua Qiang grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Your Majesty is too kind. I'm just a guy who collects protection money; this is the only craft I know..."

"A craft..." Wang Chen almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

This "craft" of yours is truly ruthless.

Although one's strength has reached the Domain Realm, it is difficult to be killed by an ordinary stab. However, facing that single stab of his—which one cannot resist, cannot defend against, and can only endure—who wouldn't be afraid?

More importantly, others don't know that he can only land one stab per month!

In the eyes of the enemy, he is a terrifying existence who can appear by your side at any moment and stab you whenever he pleases! This deterrent force is simply off the charts!

Wang Chen composed his expression and then said solemnly, "Hua Qiang, there is currently a matter that requires you to make a trip."

Hua Qiang raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

"The center of the Star Domain, the Xinghai Realm, the Star Remains Hall. Their Hall Master has a grudge against our Imperial Dynasty."

Wang Chen did not explain further. However, after hearing this, Hua Qiang did not hesitate, nor did he say any unnecessary words; he simply nodded very seriously. "Understood."

After speaking, he climbed back onto the small electric scooter, put on his sunglasses, and once again dangled a toothpick from his mouth. "Your Majesty, give me the address."

Wang Chen didn't waste any time either. With a wave of his hand, a golden speck of light merged into the center of Hua Qiang's forehead.

That was the coordinates of the Xinghai Realm. It was what Daoist Youquan had told Wang Chen; he didn't expect to use it so soon.

Hua Qiang closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then respectfully said to Wang Chen, "Your Majesty, please wait; this subordinate will be back shortly."

As his voice fell— "Hum—!" The wheels of the small electric scooter began to spin crazily! The Space Law instantly boiled!

The next second, Hua Qiang, along with his vehicle, vanished from the spot! All that remained was a faint trail of exhaust and a sentence drifting in the wind: "Are these melons... ripe? Hahaha..."

Wang Chen watched the disappearing figure, a look of anticipation curling the corners of his lips. The Hall Master of the Star Remains Hall? A super powerhouse at the Peak Domain Realm? Heh... I wonder how he will handle Hua Qiang's stab? I am truly looking forward to it...

Meanwhile, at the center of the Star Domain, in the Xinghai Realm. Deep within the Star Remains Hall, inside a magnificent great hall, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating.

In the center of the hall, nine figures sat around a huge circular stone table. Every figure exuded a terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate. That was the aura of the Domain Realm! Nine Domain Realm powerhouses!

Sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man in a black robe with a cold expression. His aura was as vast as the sea and unfathomable; he was none other than the Hall Master of the Star Remains Hall—Daoist Xinghai! A super powerhouse at the Peak Domain Realm!

On the left and right sides sat two Vice Hall Masters, both of whom were existences at the Late Stage of the Domain Realm. Further down were six Elders, ranging from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of the Domain Realm. And a seat that should have been occupied was currently empty. That was the seat of Daoist Youquan.

"Everyone is here," Daoist Xinghai said, his voice low but carrying unquestionable majesty. "I believe you all know why I have summoned you today."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. A moment later, one of the Vice Hall Masters said in a deep voice.

"Hall Master, we have been investigating the disappearance of Daoist Youquan for over half a month. His Soul Lamp is still lit, but we cannot contact him. Divining the heavenly secrets results in nothing but Chaos, as if it has been blocked by some power. This is too strange."

The other Vice Hall Master couldn't help but nod at this moment. "Daoist Youquan had just achieved a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of the Domain Realm and was in high spirits. Logically, he should have returned to report the good news immediately. But he has disappeared. Moreover, he disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a single clue."

An Elder asked tentatively, "Could it be... that he encountered some Opportunity and is trapped in some Secret Realm?"

"Impossible. Even if it were a Secret Realm, it would be impossible to completely block the divination of heavenly secrets. With the nine of us in the Domain Realm working together to divine, even the old monsters of the three great super worlds could not completely hide their tracks. Unless..."

He paused, a trace of trepidation flashing in his eyes. "Unless there is an existence stronger than us who intervened to cover up the heavenly secrets."

As his voice fell, the great hall instantly fell into dead silence. It wasn't that they hadn't thought of it. They just didn't dare to believe it...

You have to know, an existence even more powerful than them? What level would that be? Peak Domain Realm? Or... an existence that transcends the Domain Realm?

Daoist Xinghai naturally understood the gravity of the situation. He remained silent for a moment before finally speaking slowly. "Before Daoist Youquan disappeared, he told his Disciple that he was going out. He said that three juniors had met with trouble in The Borderlands of the Star Domain, and he was going there personally to settle the score!"

"The Borderlands of the Star Domain?" An Elder frowned. "What kind of danger could there be in such a godforsaken place?"

"Indeed, with Daoist Youquan's strength, the mere Borderlands of the Star Domain could not possibly pose any danger to him! I suspect! He must have gone somewhere else."

Daoist Xinghai shook his head. "Regardless of whether Daoist Youquan went to The Borderlands of the Star Domain or not, since we have no other leads, we might as well go there and take a look!"

After saying this, he stood up directly, scanned the people present with his gaze, and then prepared to give the order. "Everyone, listen up! I have decided—"

"Hum—!" Suddenly, before Daoist Xinghai could finish his sentence, the space inside the great hall suddenly emitted a distortion!

And at this very moment, everyone's expression changed drastically! "Who goes there?"
