“As far as we know, you seemed to be just an ordinary student in the past. You weren’t a Martial Artist, nor did you have the talent of a Beastmaster.”
Sitting in front, the woman looked at the information, then continued, “How did you become a Beastmaster now?”
She asked. This was also a very suspicious point. A girl who had been an ordinary person before had suddenly become a Beastmaster. It had to be said that this was a suspicious thing.
Hearing this, Lu Yao’s hands tightened. After a moment of silence, she continued, “This is because of my brother…”
She used the story of Chen Heng giving her the evolution stone as the reason. In order to gain the trust of the investigators present, she went home and brought the evolution stone that she had not completely digested.
When the golden evolution stone was placed in the eyes of the investigators, the people around immediately believed her story. This was because the evolution stone in front of them was too detached. It clearly contained a unique power, which made this evolution stone have a valuable value that ordinary evolution stones did not have.
To put it bluntly, this evolution stone was priceless, even more, valuable than countless secret treasures. However, the only pity was that at this moment, a large part of this evolution stone was already missing. A large portion of the golden color had disappeared, and only a tiny bit of power remained.
Obviously, the missing power of the stone had been absorbed by Lu Yao, which allowed her to break through and awaken the aptitude of telekinesis. At this moment, envious thoughts flashed through the hearts of everyone present.
An investigator went to retrieve Chen Heng’s information. When he saw his resume, he was even more amazed. The way he looked at Lu Yao also changed, with a hint of envy. With such an older brother, the girl in front of him was really lucky.
Lu Yao sat upright on the spot, feeling the envious gazes of the people around her. She silently lowered her head as if she was a little embarrassed. At this moment, she felt extremely fortunate. If Chen Heng had not given her that evolution stone, then she would have to reveal some things, which could lead to a complete exposal of her background.
And now, she had a suitable excuse to hide the changes in her body. Even Chen Heng’s identity could be used as a cover for her. After knowing her brother’s identity, Lu Yao could clearly feel that everyone present had become much more cautious, and their attitudes were no longer as casual as before.
This was very normal. The power and influence of the Black Dream Group were significant on Qika planet, and a genius at the peak of Level Three had an unimaginable high status on this planet.
Her brother was currently the Chief Guardian of a region. He was capable of being responsible for a region equivalent to a continent. If these people in front of him were on Chen Heng’s side, they might not even have the qualifications to be Chen Heng’s direct subordinates.
Regardless of status or strength, they were much inferior to Chen Heng. Under these circumstances, they naturally did not dare to be careless to offend the sister of such a big shot. Their life and career would probably suffer if they offended her, and she casually said a few words to her brother.
Therefore, their treatment and attitude towards Lu Yao immediately improved a lot. A sweet-looking young lady who looked like she had just arrived had made hot tea and brought it to her. The female lead investigator also became more cautious when she asked Lu Yao.
“Have you seen any other cultivators?”
In the end, she asked this question. After Lu Yao’s final answer was no, she didn’t ask again. She directly stood up and sent Lu Yao out. They didn’t use the memory device to retrieve a person’s memories.
It had been quite a long time for Lu Yao since she visited the secret realm. The memory device wouldn’t yield many positive effects even if they used one. And in their impression, with that subject cultivator’s cautiousness, they felt that even if Lu Yao saw him, the result would probably be the same as Tang Rou. They wouldn’t be able to see his face clearly.
Of course, the reason why they had directly omitted Lu Yao was because of her different status. Otherwise, if Lu Yao didn’t have a brother who was both a top-tier Beastmaster and a Chief Guardian, then even if the interrogation would most likely be useless, they would still proceed with it. It would not have ended so easily.
Very soon, Lu Yao left and returned to the street. Her body was already drenched in cold sweats. Her mind had been tense, and she could not relax at all through the entire interrogation. After she walked out from the inside, only at this moment did she relax.
“Fortunately.”
She felt some lingering fear even after the interrogation ended.
“My King, are you alright?”
Ye Zi looked at Lu Yao in front of her at the side with worries, anxious about her reactions.
“I’m fine.”
Hearing Ye Zi’s words, Lu Yao forced a smile and was about to open her mouth to say something.
Bang!
A crisp sound came from beside her ear as if a mirror had suddenly shattered. In that instant, an inexplicable reaction appeared in her heart. In her body, the originally silent Golden Mark suddenly appeared, and at this moment, it suddenly reacted.
Standing on the spot, sensing the reaction of the Golden Mark, Lu Yao suddenly shivered. Then, she raised her head and subconsciously looked at the sky. Under her gaze, a scene seemed to appear in the distance, appearing in her eyes just like that.
It was a shocking scene. A huge spaceship whizzed over. On the spaceship, terrifying power reactions spread out. Each and every one of them on the spaceship carried a terrifying aura.
That was a terror that far surpassed Lu Yao’s current fear. It could easily tear her apart and turn her into a pile of fragments. And now, through some unknown means, they had already arrived on this planet and were about to land. An inexplicable sense of danger emerged, enveloping Lu Yao’s heart.
“It’s them?”
Hearing Lu Yao’s description of the scene, especially some of the details, Ye Zi’s expression changed drastically. She had already understood what had happened. “They actually caught up so quickly!”
“Who are they?”
Lu Yao stood on the spot, feeling the unceasing surge of palpitation and fear in her body. She asked with a pale face.
“Those are your past enemies, my king, the subordinates of the Five Knights.”
Ye Zi’s expression was also a little ugly, but she still took a deep breath and said.
“My… past enemies?”
Hearing Ye Zi’s words, Lu Yao’s expression changed slightly, and she had an inexplicable feeling. No wonder the Golden Mark in her body gave her a warning.
From the looks of it, the reason why these people had rushed here was to hunt down her, the reincarnation of the Golden King. Both sides were enemies, so their actions made sense.
Lu Yao had already expected this scene today. Back when she had just met Ye Zi, she had learned from Ye Zi that she had many enemies in the starry sky. These people were all the enemies of the gold king in the past. Now that the Golden King’s strength had greatly declined, they would come looking for her sooner or later.
Lu Yao was already mentally prepared for this until this moment.
“Can I really win against them?”
Lu Yao recalled the scene just now, and this thought inexplicably flashed through her mind. The scene that flashed past just now still surfaced in her mind. She sensed terrifying and suffocating auras, as well as powers.
She had the feeling that even the weakest one among the many who were after her in the spaceship was not inferior to her brother. In other words, the weakest one there was at Level Three. And those powerful ones scared her more, making her unable to muster up the courage to fight against them.
Could she really fight against such a powerful and terrifying lineup? Lu Yao’s heart wavered. She did not have any confidence in terms of whether she could fight them.
This was actually not surprising. After all, even though her strength had increased rapidly, she was at best still a Level One individual. Even if she were to advance further, she would only be at Level Two.
As for the enemies that were chasing after her, even the weakest ones were at
Level Three. They were opponents that she was absolutely unable to match. Her heart would tremble to face such opponents. It was very normal for her to have doubts about herself.
However, even so, she had no choice but to brace herself and go forward. There was nothing else she could do. According to what Ye Zi had said, the Five Knights and Lu Yao had to keep fighting until one side had died.
Although Lu Yao was only a little girl, she did not think that the other party would let her off. Once she was discovered, not only her but her parents and brother would also be in trouble. At the thought of this, her heart became exceptionally heavy.
She stood there for a long time before leaving this place and returning home. At this moment, on the other side.
“Is this the place?”
The tall, middle-aged man looked at the stars under his feet on the huge spaceship with a cold expression.
“If the scouting results were right, then this is the place…”
A woman in a red dress walked up to the middle-aged man. She looked at the scenery before her and said, “The Golden King’s energy waves came from this star.
“It seems that the Golden King is hiding on this star.
“I just don’t know what form he is in.”
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before saying, “Back then, according to the Five Royal Highnesses, the Golden King had already fallen. The only thing left behind was his own mark.
“He might be reincarnated now, or he might be struggling to survive in another form.
“But no matter what, his strength must be extremely weak now, and he needs to start over from scratch.”
“This is a good opportunity for us.”
The lady in the red dress said calmly, “Only when the Golden King’s power is weak will we have a chance to show off.
“Otherwise, if the Golden King were at his peak, only the Five Royal Highnesses would stand a chance to fight against him.
“If we can find the Golden King and offer it to the Five Royal Highnesses, we will have made a great contribution. At that time, we will definitely be rewarded by the Five Royal Highnesses.”
“That is indeed the case.”
The middle-aged man smiled and revealed a mouthful of white teeth. Then, he looked at the scene below and sensed the aura around him. “However, it is difficult to find the Golden King hiding on this planet…
“Are we going to destroy this planet?”
He opened his mouth and looked at his companions. To them, destroying a planet and destroying the civilization on it was nothing. As long as they could achieve their goal, destroying a planet was worth it. It was not the first time they had done something like this.
“I’m afraid that won’t do.”
The woman in the red dress frowned when she heard the middle-aged man’s words. Then, she said, “This planet is not an ordinary planet. It’s the home planet of the Qika Federation.”
“The home planet of the Qika Federation?”
The middle-aged man immediately frowned. He also felt that this was a bit troublesome. If it was an ordinary planet with no background, then no one would dare to say anything if they destroyed it. However, the significance of the home planet of the Qika Federation was different.
Although the faction of the Qika Federation was not the strongest in the galaxy, it was not considered weak. It had formed an alliance with the other factions around it. Its strength was something that even the Five Knights had to be wary of.
Since this was the home planet of the Qika Federation, it could not be destroyed so easily even if they wanted to. If it was another ordinary civilization, then it was very likely that they had not even developed their telekinesis and body forging techniques. There might not even be a general-level existence on the entire planet, let alone an Ancient Mecha. For a civilization like this, there was naturally no need to worry about anything. They could just directly destroy it.
However, if it was the home planet of the Qika Federation, then there would most definitely be at least General Level units on it. There might even be Level Five units with Ancient Mechas.
A Level Five unit with an Ancient Mecha would have sufficient strength to sweep them aside. Even if the middle-aged man and the woman in the red dress were to fight together, they would definitely not be a match. They would be easily wiped out, not to mention the others.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man withdrew his thoughts. Then, he sighed and said, “Looks like we can only take the normal path…
“Since we can’t destroy this planet directly, then send someone to coordinate with the Qika Federation…
He said faintly, “Send someone to track down the Golden Mark’s aura. Then, send another one to seal off that area.
“As long as the Golden King has left a trace on this planet, then we will eventually find him by slowly searching.
“It’s just a matter of time.”
He calmly said, appearing confident. Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the woman in the red dress did not doubt him. She just silently nodded her head, indicating that she agreed.
Following their discussions, they soon started communicating with the Qika Federation. An invisible undercurrent had already begun to surge, about to erupt quietly.
…
After that day, Lu Yao quickly returned to her peaceful life. To her, the life around her didn’t seem to have changed much at the moment. Other than the fact that her status had increased because she had become a Beastmaster, there didn’t seem to be any changes.
If it were any other time, even though Lu Yao wouldn’t have taken the compliments and reverence from the people around her, as well as the gratified looks from her parents to heart, she would still feel happy. This was human nature.
But now, perhaps it was because she knew that the crisis was about to arrive in the future, Lu Yao couldn’t bring herself to feel happy at this moment. She seemed to be a little unsettled all day, as if she was thinking about something.
In fact, that was indeed the case. She was thinking about the crisis that she would face in the future. According to her vision, the power that originated from the Five Knights had already fallen and rushed to this star.
Although they were not able to find Lu Yao in a short period of time, this undoubtedly meant that this star had already been exposed to them. It was only a matter of time before Lu Yao was completely exposed to the tactics of the Five Knights.
Therefore, an unprecedented sense of urgency rose in Lu Yao’s heart at this moment. She had to accumulate enough power to resist before the Five Knight’s forces found her so that she could ensure the safety of herself and her family. Otherwise, there would be a huge problem.
Thus, she had put a lot of effort into her own training in recent times. Following Ye Zi’s instructions, she began to visit many places, cultivating diligently and improving herself. Of course, while working hard to improve, she carefully concealed her power.
And to Lu Yao, the monthly metamorphosis became the most critical moment for her. The monthly metamorphosis was the power lustration brought by the Golden Mark. Every power lustration benefits Lu Yao vastly, increasing her strength by a lot.
This was also the reason why she was able to improve to her current level in a short period of time. To a certain extent, the power that the Golden Mark brought to her was also the greatest reliance that she had to rely on in order to become stronger. It was just that until now, this reliance also had some risks. When the Golden Mark power lustrates Lu Yao, Lu Yao becomes easily traceable.
The confrontation between the Five Knight and the Golden King was not something that happened overnight. During the long process of the fight, the Five Knights had already figured out some patterns and also realized the period that the Golden Mark was the most easily discovered. The period was none other than the time when Lu Yao metamorphosed.
At this time, the power fluctuation of the Golden Mark was the greatest, and it was most susceptible to exposure by those who pursued after her. It was fine in the past before the Five Knights faction came to this planet. Under the isolation of the distant starry sky, they would not be able to notice Lu Yao’s metamorphosis.
But it was different at this moment. The Five Knights faction had truly descended upon this planet. Lu Yao would be susceptible to exposure by the Five Knights faction when she metamorphosed since they were on the same planet.
Without a doubt, there was a great risk involved. But Lu Yao had no other choices.. Soon, as time slowly passed, the time for the Golden Mark to erupt once again was approaching.
