Chapter 92: Mount Nuolan
Chapter 92: Mount Nuolan
Biyan Star, Black Dragon Mountain Imperial Administrative Building.
Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng walked out of the building side by side.
"Greetings, Lord Earth."
Thor moved closer to Hong, smiling as he mimicked the gesture of an imperial official, bowing respectfully.
Hong rarely showed a smile, but he shook his head.
"Second brother, don't joke with me. This is just a formality."
Luo Feng stood to the side, letting out a long breath, his expression relaxing.
"Brother, no matter what, Earth now has an owner. Protected by the laws of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, we no longer have to live in fear."
"That's true. It cost three trillion Black Dragon Coins, quite a price to pay. If it weren't for the large amount of Cosmic Crystals you obtained on Sword Devouring Star, we would have had to wait for Third Brother to break through to the Eternal Star level before we could buy it."
Thor sighed from the side.
Hong stopped and looked at the various spaceships shuttling through the sky above Biyan Star, his expression becoming serious.
"Second brother, third brother, it's okay to be happy, but don't be too happy too soon."
His calm voice caused Luo Feng and Thor to stop smiling.
"In the universe, it all comes down to who has the strongest fist. Although we wiped out that expeditionary fleet, the Noranshan family is no pushover. Once they sense something is amiss, their retaliation will be even more intense. Our current legal status can stop space pirates, but it can't stop the Noranshan family."
"Big brother is right."
Luo Feng nodded.
"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. The law is just the bottom line; strength is the upper limit. When we get back this time, we really need to discuss how to make good use of the resources we have as soon as possible."
Hong patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"Let's go back to Earth. The first step is to improve the strength of Iceberg and the others. Our Earth's own defense forces can't always rely on purchased slave guards."
……
Earth, Hongning Base City.
Inside the quiet room of the global headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy.
Hong Qian stood respectfully before his three personal guards.
The leader, an iceberg, wore a golden mask and stood ramrod straight.
The beast beside him was massive and exuded a powerful aura.
Finally, there was the alluring woman in a black combat suit.
"Master, did you summon us here to give us a task?"
Iceberg spoke first, his voice coming through the metal mask, somewhat muffled, but his eyes revealed a sense of anticipation.
Hong stood up from his seat and did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out three encrypted data chips engraved with array patterns from his spatial ring. With a wave of his hand, the three chips turned into three streams of light and hovered precisely in front of the three people.
"You are probably aware of the crises that the Earth has faced in recent years."
Hong's voice was steady, yet carried a powerful force.
"Currently stationed in outer space are star-level slaves I bought, and even cosmic-level puppet guards. But these are ultimately external forces. We Earthlings must rely on ourselves and stand firm with our own strength."
Yao Rao stretched out her slender fingers and gently pinched the floating chip. She looked up at Hong, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.
"Master, this is...?"
"This is a complete martial arts training system from the Star of Sword Devouring."
Hong pointed in the direction of the underground base.
"You've already met Taino; he's waiting for you in the dedicated training ground on the second basement level. From today onwards, the three of you, put aside all your current tasks and enter a state of seclusion."
"With Taino personally teaching you and Muya Jing assisting you, I only have one request for you."
Hong's gaze slowly swept over the three of them, and his tone became stern.
"Find a way to break through to the Hengxing level in the shortest possible time."
The beast gripped the chip tightly in its hand, nodded emphatically, and assured it in a deep, booming voice.
"Don't worry, Master, we won't bring shame to Earthlings."
"Very good, go ahead."
Hong waved his hand.
"The trouble ahead will only be much greater than before. Without the strength of a Hengxing star, we don't even qualify to be cannon fodder."
……
Meanwhile, in the depths of the universe, far from the Milky Way, lies the Noranshan family.
The atmosphere inside the gloomy black palace was extremely oppressive.
A sinister-looking man dressed in a magnificent dark green battle suit, with pointed ears and a giant axe warrior badge on his chest, was staring intently at the red area on the virtual screen in front of him that represented a signal interruption.
He is the founder of the Nuolanshan family, Nuolanshan.
A peak ninth-tier cosmic-level aura erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire hall. The kneeling servants below were unable to lift their heads under the pressure, their bones cracking and popping.
"A full-strength main fleet sent to annihilate a native planet without interstellar travel capabilities, and yet the entire force lost contact. This is impossible."
Enraged, Norlanshan kicked over the long table made of rare minerals in front of him. He immediately suppressed his anger and connected to the virtual universe network. By bribing the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's administrators, he quickly found the transaction records of Biyan Star.
When he saw that the ownership of the Earth had changed to private territory, and the lord's column clearly showed an unfamiliar name—Hong.
His face instantly turned extremely gloomy.
"Someone managed to buy it first."
Nuolanshan turned around and roared at the empty hall.
"Bakkaro Devin, come to see me immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, two blurry afterimages appeared in the center of the hall almost simultaneously.
The man on the left was wiry and powerfully built, carrying a long, narrow sword taller than himself, his eyes utterly expressionless. He was none other than Baikaro, the eldest disciple of Noranshan, an eighth-tier Blade Clan warrior at the Universe level.
"Teacher, what can I do for you?"
Baikalu lowered his head slightly, his voice hoarse.
"You shall depart immediately for Earth."
Nuolanshan's voice carried a chilling edge.
"Sadila and the others have met with an accident. You two, dig that lord named Hong out of that planet. Remember, if there is any resistance..."
A murderous glint flashed in Nuolanshan's eyes.
"No need to leave any survivors."
……
In a private teahouse room on Heilongshan Island, within the virtual universe network, a high-end interior is in use.
Hong and Lei Shen were leisurely sipping tea, discussing their next training plan.
Just then, Qiu Jian reminded him, "Master, there's a communication message."
"Brother Hong, what's wrong?"
Thor put down his teacup and asked with some confusion.
Hong glanced at the unfamiliar communication request on the computer screen and sneered. The sender's identity information displayed on the screen was none other than Nolanshan, the founder of the Nolanshan family.
"Ha, the main party has come knocking."
Without the slightest hesitation, Hong pressed the call button.
The light screen flickered, and Nuolanshan's sinister face immediately appeared before the two of them. He looked at the composed Hong and forced a smile.
"So you are Hong, the lord of Earth. You are indeed young and promising. I won't beat around the bush. I am very interested in your planet. I am willing to offer 10 billion Qianwu coins, as long as you are willing to transfer ownership of Earth to me. The price can even be negotiated further."
Hong Anwen sat steadily in the chair, without even getting up.
"Are you done talking?"
Hong's eyes were sharp as he stared directly at Nuolanshan on the light screen.
"Earth, not for sale. As for the expeditionary fleet you sent, I'm sorry, I've wiped it all out. If you want to keep sending people to their deaths, Earth is ready to serve you anytime. It all depends on whether your Norlanshan family can afford the cost."
After saying that, Hong didn't give the other party any chance to refute him and unilaterally cut off the communication.
The atmosphere inside the private room became somewhat heavy for a moment.
Just then, Luo Feng's virtual figure appeared in the private room.
A virtual projection of Babata, with demonic horns, jumped out from Luo Feng's wrist, put its hands on its hips, and spoke directly.
"Don't get too excited, you lot. That old guy from Norlan Mountain is a big shot in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Since he can't contact Sadila, he'll definitely send someone even stronger. Based on my judgment, the next one will be a powerhouse at the cosmic level."
"So, according to you, what should we do?"
Thor turned his head and looked at Babata.
"Go to the killing field."
Babata waved his little hands, his eyes gleaming with a fanatical light.
"On Black Dragon Mountain Island in the virtual universe network, there is a training ground called the Killing Arena. It can simulate real-life life-or-death battles. As long as you can afford it, you can continuously engage in simulated battles with the strong individuals recorded in the database. That is the fastest way to improve your combat experience."
After listening to Babata's explanation, a fierce glint flashed in Hong's eyes. With the three brothers' current financial resources, Baikalo and Devon, sent by Norlan Mountain, could not pose any fatal threat at all.
"it is good."
Hong Meng gripped the black spear in his hand and made his decision.
"During this time, the three of us will be staying in the virtual universe. Second brother, third brother, get ready to enter the killing field. Let's go and see what the powerful beings in this universe are like."
