230: Chapter 230 Blood
The moon of Tuai Planet.
The spaceship descended.
A complex of buildings had already appeared on the desolate moon.
The complex had a very high-tech feel.
It was clearly a temporary construction.
With the prevalence of both technological and cultivation civilizations, spaceships were equipped with simple modular building components, making it easy to set up survival facilities on barren, lifeless planets.
Passing through a corridor,
Ji Yebai walked into the interior of the building.
In a hall filled with projections, the Giant Scorpion war on Tuai Planet was being displayed in segmented views.
As Ji Yebai and the others entered, ten armored soldiers were already standing in the hall.
Each of them had a solemn expression, clearly exuding the aura of elite troops and capable commanders.
“The General has arrived!!”
A shout rang out.
Swish!
The ten men immediately placed one hand over their chests and struck their hearts with their fists.
Their expressions were solemn, and their eyes were filled with fervor.
It was obvious they held Abraham in high regard.
Abraham’s expression was grave as he gestured for them to relax. Then, he turned to the side and introduced Ji Yebai to the ten soldiers: “This is the Special Envoy of the Cosmic Union, Lord Ji Yebai! All commands shall prioritize Lord Ji!”
The Cosmic Union!?
Instantly,
ten pairs of eyes fixed onto Ji Yebai.
Although the Vagada Civilization was the undisputed overlord of the Neili Star Sector, it was not even worth mentioning compared to a behemoth like the Cosmic Union.
Therefore,
upon hearing that Ji Yebai was a Special Envoy of the Cosmic Union, the ten soldiers immediately became even more respectful.
The expressions of some even turned into awe.
The ten men saluted Ji Yebai once again.
“The Flying Star Squad greets the Special Envoy!!!”
Everyone in the Flying Star Squad appeared extremely respectful.
Even more so than when they faced General Abraham.
A Special Envoy of the Cosmic Union—someone of this status could usually only be seen on the Star Net. This was the first time an actual person had appeared before their eyes.
The Cosmic Union was out of reach; to be its envoy, one's status must be terrifyingly high.
“Mhm, thank you for your hard work!”
Ji Yebai nodded with a smile and then asked, “Have you discovered any anomalies these past few days!?”
News regarding the abnormal aura of demons was generally top-secret information.
The Vagada Civilization only possessed this data because it had been left behind by the Saints of old.
But even so, the Vagada Civilization kept this kind of information under lockdown.
Only those in high positions within the Vagada Civilization could know of such anomalies.
The soldiers before him were definitely not among them.
Hearing Ji Yebai’s question, the captain of the Flying Star Squad immediately stood at attention and answered loudly, “Reporting to the Lord, no anomalies have been found. The war is ongoing!”
Hearing this, Ji Yebai nodded understandingly.
From outer space earlier, he had seen that Tuai Planet was indeed in a state of normal warfare.
It just seemed that the intensity of the war was somewhat fierce.
Seeing that Ji Yebai didn't speak, Abraham took a step forward and said, “Alright, Lord Ji is informed. You all continue your surveillance!”
“Yes!!”
The squad leader replied loudly, then led the nine others back to the projection monitors.
“Lord, do you think the next step should be going to Tuai Planet!?”
“Mhm, I came here specifically to take a look. Since we've arrived, we naturally have to go!”
“Then, after you, Lord!”
While speaking, Abraham led Ji Yebai back the way they came.
Soon, the spaceship took off again, flying toward Tuai Planet.
The spaceship quickly entered the atmosphere of Tuai Planet.
Yellow sand filled the sky as far as the eye could see.
Even the air was full of unstable currents.
This was all caused by the large-scale war within the planet.
Although the Giant Scorpion Civilization only had a few Legends, they had quite a number of Golden Rank warriors.
The large-scale clashes led by Golden Warriors were enough to cause changes in the entire planet's internal weather System.
Not to mention the occasional intervention of Legendary Warriors.
...
Inside Tuai Planet.
The spaceship hovered, even engaging its stealth.
The hatch opened, and Ji Yebai flew out.
Abraham and some accompanying soldiers followed him out.
The strength of everyone in the group was not poor; it was simply too easy to avoid being detected by the Giant Scorpion Civilization.
However, with so many people, it was somewhat inconvenient after all.
Ji Yebai turned his head and said to Abraham, “The General has been traveling for days. Why not rest in the spaceship?!”
“Thank you for your consideration, Lord Ji, but this bit of fatigue isn't enough to affect me. However, if the Lord does not wish for so many people to follow...”
Abraham paused there, then turned to the soldiers behind him and said, “All of you stand by on the spaceship. I will go down with the Lord!”
The soldiers immediately nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Ji Yebai didn't say anything more.
He could scan this Tuai Planet in a single thought, and there was simply nothing here that could threaten him.
But it was fine for Abraham to follow; it was just a tour of the planet, it would be quick.
Ji Yebai flew forward first.
Abraham followed closely behind.
The air was thick with yellow sand, and Giant Scorpions appeared on the ground from time to time.
As they flew, a massive battlefield appeared below them.
Ji Yebai stood suspended in the air.
The slaughter below was extremely fierce.
These Giant Scorpions revealed their massive sizes one by one; the large ones were over ten meters tall, and even the small ones were seven or eight meters.
Ji Yebai looked over and saw it was actually a group of Silver-tier Giant Scorpions surrounding and killing a Golden Giant Scorpion.
His Divine Sense had already swept over Tuai Planet.
Ji Yebai basically knew the strength of the Giant Scorpions.
Bronze-tier Giant Scorpions were no more than five meters in size; Silver-tier were five to ten meters. Only when a Giant Scorpion's cultivation reached the Golden Rank would its size break through the ten-meter mark.
The Golden Giant Scorpion clearly had old wounds, as green blood flowed from its carapace from time to time.
Under the siege of a large number of Silver-tiers, the Golden Giant Scorpion soon fell into a disadvantage and was subsequently killed outright.
A large amount of green blood splattered across the ground.
The storm of blood ceased.
Soon, the Silver Giant Scorpions left the area, carrying the corpse of the Golden Giant Scorpion.
They left behind nothing but a landscape full of craters and bloodstains.
The stench of blood continued to spread.
Ji Yebai frowned slightly.
His gaze was fixed on the green blood splashed on the ground, with a trace of hesitation and uncertainty.
After thinking for a moment,
he descended.
“Lord, what are you...”
As they landed on the ground, Abraham saw Ji Yebai using his finger to touch some blood to examine it.
Ji Yebai did not speak.
Instead, his brow was furrowed tightly.
Next, he raised his finger stained with blood.
Within his pupils, black and white light shone.
The Yin-Yang Two Qi poured into his eyes, and a divine light emerged.
At this moment, the blood was being magnified continuously in his eyes.
Almost in an instant, his vision entered the microscopic level.
“To think it was like this...”
A moment later, the divine light in Ji Yebai’s eyes retracted, returning to normal.
However, his expression had turned to one of surprise.
He raised his head and looked out; the Giant Scorpions slaughtering each other all over the planet came into view.
Suddenly, Ji Yebai sighed softly.
“Demons are indeed the butchers of civilization!”
The war of the Giant Scorpion Civilization was not merely due to a disagreement in ideologies; there was also interference from demons.
Within the blood of the Giant Scorpions, Ji Yebai had discovered an extremely subtle abnormal aura.
This concealment was exceptionally secretive.
Even a figure at the Legendary Peak would be unable to discover it.
This was the fundamental reason why Abraham had not noticed any anomalies.
