151: Chapter 151 Xuan Wang's Pursuit and Bounty

"I'm really impressed by this guy, hiding a trick like that," Su Fan complained.

"Can we prevent or stop the opponent from using such a Miniature Space Teleporter?" the Great Elder asked.

"There's a way, but it's not necessary," Su Fan said helplessly.

"The materials to make these things are scarce; they have no offensive power, can only be used by individuals, and are one-time use."

"Its teleportation distance is also limited, and it requires a pre-set target point; otherwise, one would be randomly teleported into deep space."

"It's not worth spending a great deal of effort to counter such a useless thing. If we encounter it again, we'll just fire a few more shots."

"Anyway, the Canglan Empire will find out sooner or later that a group from the Black Dragon Empire is raiding the border."

Su Fan shrugged helplessly. The Great Elder and Xia Feifei were also speechless; what else could they say in such a situation?

"Red Queen, bring up the star chart of this region. Let's see where we've ended up."

"We are still in the Fifth Ring South District. There is a dense star cluster about 20 light-years to the northeast of our current position," Red Queen explained.

"Good, let's head over there immediately. Our primary goal is cosmic rarities," Su Fan ordered.

"Yes, Master!"

...

While Su Fan and the others were busy fleeing, exploring the universe, searching for cosmic rarities, and looting various civilized planets, King Xuan Planet in the Second Ring South District of the Milky Way was no longer peaceful.

"My poor grandson!"

King Xuan's Estate covered an area comparable to a small city on Blue Star.

At this moment, in a study within the estate, an elderly man with a wrinkled face was wailing in grief.

Just ten minutes ago, his communicator had suddenly received an emergency distress signal. The caller ID showed his favorite grandson, Cruise.

"Great-Uncle! Save me! Save me!!!"

That single sentence made King Xuan leap to his feet in shock.

Afterward, King Xuan immediately called back, but no matter how many times he dialed Cruise's communicator, the prompt said it was turned off.

By now, King Xuan had a vague inkling of what had happened.

He immediately dialed the communication channel of Baku, the Grand Commander of the Silver Horn Race.

The Silver Horn Race's communication went through on the first try because Su Fan's group had already fled, and the communication blockade had naturally been lifted.

"Baku, where is my grandson!" King Xuan said, his face grim and his tone chillingly cold.

Far away on Silver Horn Star [Planet Five], Baku was already paralyzed with fear.

Just moments ago, he had witnessed the destruction of the two planets his tribe had spent countless years building, and he hadn't yet recovered from the shock.

Now, King Xuan, the reaper himself, had opened a communication channel!

He knew clearly that King Xuan's grandson had been on one of the two planets that were just destroyed.

"We're finished!" Baku could already foresee the fate of the Silver Horn Race.

"Baku! Baku! Are you there?" Seeing the silence on the other end, King Xuan thought something had happened to him as well.

Baku's body trembled. He hurriedly composed his expression and forced a smile, thankful that King Xuan was making a voice call rather than a video call.

"Greetings, Lord King Xuan! I'm here, I'm here!"

"What happened at Silver Horn Star? Where is my grandson! Where is my grandson!" King Xuan's anger flared.

"Lord King Xuan, please restrain your grief. Young Master Cruise... Planet Silver-4, where Young Master Cruise was located, was blown to pieces by an unknown enemy's shot!" Baku wailed in sorrow.

He wasn't crying out of sadness for Cruise, but for the impending fate of his own tribe.

King Xuan felt a buzzing in his head; his mind went blank, and his body even swayed slightly.

As an elderly man, he didn't have much life left to begin with. After experiencing such great sorrow, it might not be long before he joined his ancestors.

"You're lying! Cruise clearly had life-saving measures. Even if Silver-4 exploded, he could have escaped to Silver-6. I set that up myself!"

"Lord King Xuan, Silver-6 exploded too! Waaaaah X﹏X" Baku was in despair; he could already guess what King Xuan would say next.

"Silver-4 and Silver-6 both exploded, so why didn't your Silver Horn Star explode!" King Xuan's voice was as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice.

"Lord King Xuan, I... I don't know either!" Baku was gripped by extreme terror.

"The enemy just happened to blow up only Silver-4 and Silver-6, and then they fled immediately. We didn't even see their shadow!"

"Oh... Heh..." King Xuan quietly hung up the communication.

When people reach a certain level of grief and anger, some collapse, while others become incredibly calm.

The death of a loved one is not just a brief moment of pain, but a long-lasting dampness in the soul.

"Fukolai, pass on my command. Dispatch the King Xuan to the Fifth Ring South District. Target: Pursue and kill the suspected Level 4 civilization spaceship."

"Furthermore, issue a massive bounty throughout the entire empire. I want the culprit to have no place to be buried!"

Only a Level 4 civilization's spaceship could destroy a planet with a single shot.

Of course, a Level 5 civilization's ship could also do it, but if they were at Level 5, would they need to hit and run? They could just steamroll the Canglan Empire!

The King Xuan was a gift bestowed upon King Xuan by the old emperor of the Canglan Empire when he took his post.

Now, at King Xuan's command, the King Xuan, which had been docked at a private spaceport, ignited its Warp Drive once more and jumped toward the Fifth Ring South District!

Meanwhile, the Imperial Bounty Network received King Xuan's massive reward. Some bored princes prepared to send their own spaceships to the Fifth Ring to take a look.

The Milky Way was so vast that catching an enemy with a Level 4 civilization spaceship was incredibly difficult.

But if they were lucky enough to catch them, they wouldn't mind pocketing the incredibly valuable bounty provided by King Xuan.

Thus, one Level 4 civilization class-c spaceship after another left the Second Ring and rushed toward the Fifth Ring South District.

Su Fan and the others were naturally unaware of this situation; they were currently mining with immense excitement!

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"

"We're rich, we're rich!" Su Fan's mouth trembled with excitement.

After more than two months of exploration and visiting many star systems, they finally found a treasure in this ternary system consisting of three stars!

There were two giant planets in this star system that had successfully survived the strong gravitational pull of the three stars.

The environment in this ternary system was extremely harsh—so harsh that Su Fan's Androids couldn't even venture outside on their own.

They could only walk on the planets while wearing mecha suits.

Both planets were terrestrial planets of massive size, at least ten times larger than Jupiter.

Their mass was at least dozens or even hundreds of times that of Jupiter, as terrestrial planets have much higher densities.

Su Fan and the others were on Planet One, where the temperature and pressure were incredibly high, and the ground was covered in boiling magma.

However, despite the harsh environment, there were many treasures.

That's right, there was a type of cosmic rarity here—Lava Stone!

And the reserves were extremely abundant!

Lava Stone are an important material for building Warp Drives, being extremely resistant to high temperatures.

"Dig! Dig! Dig with everything you've got!" Su Fan grinned from ear to ear, constantly giving orders while standing on the ground in his mecha suit.

The Great Elder and Xia Feifei were also very happy; the universe was truly full of treasures everywhere!

The three were happily mining, but what they didn't know was that just 10 light-years away, a class-c spaceship from the Second Ring was leisurely cruising along!
