While Gerst and Darkwood were investigating the Forest of Eternity, Qin Chuan's group didn't find a place to hide and avoid the limelight. Instead, they traveled at full speed towards the closest place to the Forest of Eternity where Dao runes converged, the Volcano Star.
"You must be crazy!"
Night Serenity looked at Qinchuan in shock. She thought that after attacking the Forest of Eternity, Qinchuan would lead everyone to stay quiet for a while. She did not expect Qinchuan to lead them to the Volcano Planet!
It was obvious that Qinchuan's target was the five fire-attribute dao runes located on the Volcano Planet!
"I'm not crazy. This is the best choice."
Qinchuan smiled and said to Night Serenity, "After the incident in the Forest of Eternity is reported, the Tian people will definitely strengthen the defense of the dao runes in other places. They will need time to mobilize their troops. We have to take advantage of this time to do more."
Qinchuan knew that once the loss of dao runes in the Forest of Eternity was discovered, the Tian people would definitely pay attention to this matter. While they were hunting them down, they would definitely strengthen the defense of the other dao runes. By then, it would be very difficult for him to help the runic swords obtain more dao runes. Therefore, he had to take advantage of the situation now. Before the Tian people reacted, he had to do something ruthless!
Night Serenity knew that Qinchuan was right. After the Tian people sent more troops, it would be very troublesome and dangerous for them to attack the dao runes. However, this did not mean that attacking the Volcano Planet now was the right decision.
She really wanted to know what Qinchuan wanted to do. If it was just for sightseeing, there was really no need to take such a big risk!
"Do as I say."
Qinchuan did not explain too much to Night Serenity. There was no need for him to explain. Night Serenity only needed to do as he said.
Night Serenity saw that Qinchuan was still unwilling to explain. She looked at Qinchuan with a complicated expression and then turned to leave. When she reached the door, Night Serenity stopped. With her back facing Qinchuan, she asked, "You don't want to explain because we are your slaves?"
Night Serenity was a proud person. Even though she had a master-servant contract with Qinchuan, she was still a proud Body Integration Stage powerhouse. She did not like the feeling of being kept in the dark. She wanted to be respected.
Hearing this, Qinchuan looked at Night Serenity and said, "You are a powerhouse at the Body Integration Stage, an overlord of the universe. I have never really regarded you as a slave. Now we are more like partners or colleagues.
Although I think I'm someone worthy of your loyalty, I don't think I'm qualified to make you submit to me willingly. Since that's the case, there are some things that I don't need to explain to you too clearly. After all, we're not the same kind of people. If you're willing to stay by my side after ten years, it won't be too late for me to tell you some things. "
Although Night Serenity and Qinchuan had signed a master-servant contract, because Night Serenity had the bloodline of the first generation sub-dragon species, Qinchuan was psychologically closer to Night Serenity. If he was also an overlord of the universe, then he would not mind letting Night Serenity know some of his secrets. Now he was still very weak, and Night Serenity had not completely submitted to him. Therefore, it would not be good for him to reveal some things too early.
If Lü Zi asked Qinchuan about these things, Qinchuan would definitely answer. However, Qinchuan also knew that even if Lü Zi was curious about some of his secrets, she would not ask because she hoped that Qinchuan would take the initiative to share his secrets with her.
This was the difference between Lü Zi and Night Serenity. It was also the difference between a companion and a colleague.
After hearing Qinchuan's explanation, Night Serenity's unhappiness disappeared. Qinchuan was right. There was no real trust between the two of them. It was the existence of the contract that maintained the relationship between the two of them. If the contract was rescinded now, there was a high probability that they would part ways or even become enemies. Under such circumstances, it was understandable that Qinchuan did not want to disclose his secrets.
"You are right. If I trusted you, I would not have these questions. I would have simply carried out your orders.
If you trusted me, you would not have kept the secret and would not have been willing to say a word.
This is my problem this time. I will not ask such meaningless questions in the future. "
Night Serenity let out a long breath, then opened the door and left Qinchuan's room.
…
Stansos, District 1.
When Gerst reported the discovery of the Darkwood, it immediately attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the Tian people. For thousands of years, there had never been any problems with the Daowen. However, after a mysterious team invaded the Eternal Forest, there was an irreversible loss of power. This was a very serious problem!
"Tell Gerst immediately to investigate the cause and effect of this matter. We must find the mysterious team as soon as possible!"
"Not only that, we must also strengthen the security of the other Daowen locations. Mobilize troops from various military bases to strengthen the defense of the Daowen locations."
"Issue an arrest warrant. Anyone who dares to attack the Tian people must be severely punished!"
As the meeting of the higher-ups of the Tian people began, orders were issued one after another. The Tian people were operating at high speed like a sophisticated machine. The people of the other forces were shocked when they noticed the actions of the Tian people. They did not understand why the Tian people would suddenly mobilize troops with great fanfare. They all sent out intelligence agents to collect information and understand the cause and effect of this matter.
At this time, Qinchuan and the others had already arrived at the periphery of the Volcano Planet. This time, Qinchuan did not use any clever means. Instead, he directly used Night Serenity as the vanguard to break into the Volcano Planet.
Although the Tian people's guards on the Volcano Planet had already received orders from their superiors to strengthen their defense, the Tian people's guards could not withstand a single blow from Night Serenity, a powerful cultivator at the Form Synthesis Stage.
After a day of "sightseeing", Qinchuan and the others left the Volcano Planet. This time, Qinchuan did not order them to go to the other Daowen locations. Instead, he led them back to the Necromancer.
When the news of the attack on the Volcano Planet reached the Tian people, the Tian people were shocked. They had been standing in the Celestial Cluster for countless years and had never been provoked like this before. If they could not catch these people, it would be a great humiliation for them!
What shocked the higher-ups of the Tian people even more was that the five fire-attribute Daowen on the Volcano Planet had also lost their power. The Talisman Formation Master who went to investigate the situation made a very bold and shocking guess.
The mysterious team had the terrifying ability to extract the power of the Daowen!
