Chapter 746: The Ardent King’s Fury, Shang Honghua Is In Danger, Reinforcement
“Fourteen resource transport routes! That’s several billions worth of elixirs and blood gemstones! And it’s all gone now!”
“What are those maggots at the front line doing?! How did they not notice our enemies getting past them at all?!”
In the Blood Tribe’s headquarters.
The Argent King was so infuriated that his body twitched with anger. His blood-shot eyes indicated that he was ready for utter violence.
Every Blood Tribe member within a ten thousand kilometers radius was shivering in fear.
“Our resource transport routes have always been highly classified information, known only by a handful of upper-rank members. How did the Firmament Star cultivator get ahold of this intel?”
After a wave of fury, the Argent King eventually calmed himself down.
The rest of the Blood Kings pondered on the same question as well.
“Is there a mole within our ranks?”
“Hmph, it must be.”
“Seek out the mole, and rebuild our transport routes. This time, no one else must know except for the few of us!”
The Blood King took a deep breath.
“Judging by the attacker’s stealthy nature and their ability to ravage all fourteen piles of resources, I believe only Chu Kuangren is able to pull off such a feat.”
King Bai said coldly.
At the mention of the name, the rest of the Blood Kings’ expressions turned solemn. Chu Kuangren was indeed a force to reckon with.
“As long as we don’t get rid of him, our days ahead will be filled with even more frustrations. The Blood Tribe’s fate will also be at stake,” said the Ardent King.
“How’s the plan coming along?”
“It’s near completion now.”
“If that’s the case, then let’s not delay any further. We must kill this person, even if it means going to war against the Daoist Celestials of Firmament Star!”
…
In Stronghold Thirty-One.
Chu Kuangren returned after he had looted all fourteen Blood Tribe’s resource transport routes.
As much as the resources were, they were of little use to Chu Kuangren. Hence, he decided to distribute his loot to the soldiers at the front line.
Due to this incident, Chu Kuangren’s reputation soared even further.
In the last few days, his Power of Faith also increased.
Cultivating the Power of Faith was one of Chu Kuangren’s many cultivation techniques. It was not only applicable in the Extraterrial Battlefield but Firmament Star too. Following the expansion of the Black Heaven School, his Power of Faith had grown considerably.
“Judging from the growth of my Power of Faith, I should be able to ascend into the Daoist Celestial Realm within three years even without relying on other resources!” Chu Kuangren murmured as he stared into the endless universe.
Three years to ascend into the Daoist Celestial Realm?
Few could believe such a feat was even remotely possible.
After all, every Daoist Celestials that existed had spent eons accumulating their cultivation. In fact, there were also many remarkable sky-prides who did not manage to ascend despite a lifetime’s worth of endeavors.
Three years to ascend into the Daoist Celestial Realm?
Such a thing was all too preposterous.
However, Chu Kuangren was confident.
In fact, he felt that three years was too long.
“Brother Chu, there’s a crucial military intel coming in.”
Luo Shui came.
Chu Kuangren asked strangely, “What’s it about?”
“It’s Shang Honghua. You know her right?”
“Yes. What happened to her?”
Chu Kuangren frowned with concern.
“It’s said that she chased after a Blood Tribe fleet right into their ambush territory. It’s undetermined at this point whether she’s still alive, but the upper ranks will be sending in reinforcements,” said Luo Shui.
Shang Honghua was one of the most remarkable sky-prides of all strongholds in the Extraterritorial Battlefield. She harbored great potential in ascending into a Daoist Celestial and was considered a future powerhouse in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
The upper ranks would definitely take care of such an exceptional talent.
They would not stand by and give up on her.
Upon receiving the news, Chu Kuangren immediately contacted Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade.
“Commodore, what happened to the commodore junior?”
“They’re now trapped on Asteroid Sixty-Four, heavily surrounded by Blood Tribe fleets. It’ll be challenging to break through their ranks.”
“Rest assured, Commodore. I’ll join in on the mission myself.”
Shang Honghua was one of mankind’s future pillars and had shared a friendship with Chu Kuangren. There was no way Chu Kuangren would just watch from afar when she was in danger.
“Brother Chu, duty compels me to be in Stronghold Seventeen. I’m counting on you to save Hua’er.”
Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade said solemnly.
“Don’t worry, commodore.”
Chu Kuangren soon embarked on his journey.
There were initially a few Heavenly Imperials who were tasked to join him. However, after considering that Chu Kuangren’s power could easily rival a thousand Heavenly Imperials, they were deployed to other regions of the battlefield instead.
On Asteroid Sixty-Four.
Shang Honghua led a few of the Redshirt Army members into hiding.
They were surrounded by a layer of red veil.
The veil was capable of blocking the prying of an Emperor Thought. It was all thanks to this veil that they managed to avoid the Blood Tribe’s detection so far.
Shang Honghua looked at the injured Redshirt Army guards and said remorsefully, “If it weren’t my misjudgment, we wouldn’t have ended up in this barren wasteland.”
“Commodore Junior, it’s not your fault.”
“If you hadn’t led us out of the ambush, we would’ve been dead yesterday.”
Baili Quan chuckled and said.
“Commodore junior, it seems like there are many Blood Tribe soldiers scouting around this place. It’s best that we find another place to rest,” said Baili Xue as she observed the Blood Tribe soldiers hovering about in the sky.
“Alright.”
Shang Honghua nodded and quickly led the army away.
Deep within a forest.
A Blood Tribe unit was searching for the Redshirt Army.
“Pfft, these ladies sure know how to play hide-and-seek. It’s been days, and we still don’t know where they are.”
“I heard the commodore mention that whoever finds these people will be rewarded with one hundred thousand blood gemstones.”
Some of the Blood Tribe soldiers immediately glimmered with excitement.
Blood gemstones were the equivalence of spiritual marrows in this part of the universe. They could be absorbed by cultivators and converted into spiritual energies and Emperor qi.
One hundred thousand blood gemstones were enough to even tempt an Emperor.
“Stop daydreaming now. I heard that there’s a Heavenly Imperial amongst those ladies. With that power, we’ll never stand a chance against them in a battle.”
A bestial Blood Tribe soldier pouted and continued, “You best pray that we don’t bump into them. Otherwise, the only question that we’ll be asking is how we’re going to die.”
The soldier said as he shoved the branches aside.
From his sight, he noticed a group of armored ladies coming in his direction. The leader of the group had noticed him as well.
They both stared at each other for a split second.
It could not be. What were the odds…
He had actually bumped into them!
The bestial soldier gulped in fear. However, Shang Honghua was already dashing towards him before he could even react.
Immediately, the soldier felt as if his world was spinning.
The bestial soldier had been beheaded amid his stupefaction.
“They’re here!”
“Quick, contact the commodore!”
The rest of the soldiers were horrified.
However, Shang Honghua was quick to react. Although she had just ascended into the Heavenly Imperial Realm, she managed to unleash her miniverse upon the soldiers. After all, there were no Emperors within the group.
Shang Honghua finished them off within the blink of an eye.
“Let’s go!”
Shang Honghua rushed the Redshirt Army members.
Alas, it was too late.
The ripples formed by her miniverse had caught the attention of other formidable soldiers within the Blood Tribe’s army. Soon, dozens of flashes appeared before them as the Blood Tribe cultivators surrounded the Redshirt Army from above.
“We’ve finally found you.”
