Ever since they were attacked by the void creatures, the vanguard army had been much more careful on their way forward. Fortunately, there was no second attack, and the vanguard army successfully arrived at a place that was only one day's journey away from the cosmic whirlpool.
The reason why they stopped here was to avoid being discovered by the Void Empire if they got too close to the cosmic whirlpool. They didn't have any powerful warriors among them, so they couldn't stop Thompson.
The vanguard army's mission was to investigate the Void Empire, not to attack. Therefore, they stopped here and prepared to send a small troop to scout ahead.
However, the question of who to send was a big one.
The further they went, the closer they were to the cosmic whirlpool, and the closer they were to the Void Empire. This was a very dangerous thing. Once they were discovered, they might not be able to come back alive. No force was willing to be the first to do this.
"Didn't Qinchuan, the consecrator of the Tushan Family, suggest to speed up?
I think it's better to let the Tushan Family take the lead. "
During the meeting, someone suggested that the Tushan Family should send people to the cosmic whirlpool first to collect information. This suggestion was approved by most people.
Everyone thought that Tushan Yue would argue with them angrily, but surprisingly, Tushan Yue agreed without hesitation.
"The Tushan Family sent people to join the vanguard army to collect information. We are all prepared to die. Since you are afraid of death, then don't pretend to join the vanguard army!"
Tushan Yue looked at the representatives of other forces with disdain. "If you want to refute me, then come with me to collect information. I will apologize to you then!"
Those who wanted to refute Tushan Yue all shut their mouths when they heard this. Although they didn't feel good being humiliated here, it was better than risking their lives to collect information.
Seeing that everyone kept their mouths shut, Tushan Yue sneered and left.
...
After hearing the news, Qinchuan went to Tushan Yue and said with guilt, "Sorry, I got you into trouble. I am willing to take the lead and collect information."
Tushan Yue waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you. Someone has to collect information. They don't dare to go, but it doesn't mean that the Tushan Family doesn't dare to go."
Qinchuan looked at Tushan Yue and asked, "Seventh Elder, what do you plan to do?"
After a short silence, Tushan Yue answered, "I will choose ten people to go. I will be one of them, but I hope that you will be the leader. Everyone will listen to your command."
Qinchuan looked at Tushan Yue in surprise and asked, "Why?"
"Because I believe in your strength and judgment."
Tushan Yue looked at Qin Chuan with a subtle look in his eyes. "You must have sensed something when you suggested to move faster that day, right? I haven't asked you these days because I wanted you to clear your mind. Can you tell me now?"
Qin Chuan nodded his head and replied, "The void creatures that attacked us that day seemed to be huge in numbers and came with great ferocity. However, the strongest of them was only at the peak of the Insightful Emptiness Realm. Dealing with them was a piece of cake. Thompson urgently needed the power of the void to build a teleportation channel, so there was no reason for him to waste his energy to stop us. After all, this attack only delayed us for a few hours."
Hearing this, Tushan Yue agreed. "You're right. But since Po did that, he must have some other intentions."
Qinchuan threw a complicated glance at Tushan Yue and responded, "I think Thompson stopped us that day because he was worried that we might run into some people."
Tushan Yue was shocked and asked, "How did you come up with such a guess?"
Qinchuan pursed his lips and hesitated for a while. In the end, he did not tell Tushan Yue about the Void Empire colluding with Zerg. Firstly, he did not have any evidence to prove it. Secondly, the news was too shocking. Once it got out, it would cause a huge commotion. By then, he would inevitably become the center of attention. By then, some of his secrets might not be able to be kept.
"This is just a guess. That is why I suggested that we speed up and see if we can find any traces."
Qinchuan said to Tushan Yue, "But since someone doesn't believe my guess, I don't want to explain it. After all, I can't prove it."
Tushan Yue's expression changed. After thinking for a while, he said to Qinchuan, "According to you, Void Empire still has reinforcements in Tron Nebula?!"
Qinchuan nodded and replied, "We can't rule out this possibility."
Others did not know how much power Zerg had hidden in Tron Nebula, but Qinchuan knew it all. In this short period of time, he had killed two Dongxu Stage Zerg and countless Apotheosis Stage masters. In addition, he knew some inside information that no one else knew. It was normal for him to have this kind of suspicion.
Due to the space turbulence, most of the void creatures had died. Thompson was now weak, so he would definitely ask for help. And the only one who could help him here was Zerg!
Unfortunately, he could not say these conjectures out loud. The only thing he could do was to try his best to guide everyone to discover this secret!
"In that case, there is no time to lose. We will depart immediately. If the Void Empire really has Yuan Jun, then we must send this news back and let everyone be prepared!"
Tushan Yue's face was serious. This matter concerned the survival of Tron Nebula. They could not be careless!
…
Qinchuan's group of ten people left the spaceship in a shuttle with anti-reconnaissance and stealth functions. They headed toward the cosmic whirlpool. They were very careful on the way. Everyone was on high alert.
"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. This shuttle is from the Metropolis Prefecture. It is a reconnaissance shuttle that was developed by the Metropolis Prefecture's research institute. Even if a Dongxu Stage master spreads out his spiritual power completely, he won't be able to discover the existence of this shuttle."
The person in charge of driving the shuttle smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone can relax. If someone discovers the shuttle, the shuttle will also discover the other party. By then, we will be able to react in time."
Although everyone was relieved when they heard the pilot's words, they still did not let down their guard.
On the other hand, Qinchuan sat cross-legged on the floor like an outsider. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was sleeping. When everyone saw Qinchuan like this, they did not know whether to say that Qinchuan was brave or not.
No one knew that Qinchuan was currently communicating with the runic sword in his mind. If they really encountered Thompson later, Qinchuan would definitely not be Thompson's opponent. Therefore, he had to communicate with the runic sword in advance so that the runic sword would attack at the critical moment and repel Thompson!
