Underground, Hei Xi once again found a Cosmic Crystal, about the size of a palm and at least a hundred units.
"Haha... wonderful, wonderful!" Hei Xi was immersed in ecstasy; he had already harvested fourteen Cosmic Crystals, totaling six hundred units, an immense fortune beyond measure, which put Hei Xi in an excellent mood.
But at the same time, he hadn’t forgotten about the Cosmic Crystal in Wang Xu’s hand.
"I’ve searched this area thoroughly; obtaining more Cosmic Crystals is not easy, so I might as well go back, take that kid out, and seize all his Cosmic Crystals!" The thought of the large number of Cosmic Crystals in Wang Xu’s possession made Hei Xi’s eyes burn with excitement, and he immediately turned back towards Wang Xu’s location.
Hei Xi had access to Wang Xu’s Light Computer and the family-provided tracking point, making Wang Xu’s coordinates perfectly clear.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Hei Xi frowned, realizing Wang Xu’s coordinates were stationary, not moving, "Is he absorbing Cosmic Crystals for cultivation?"
Thinking of this, Hei Xi hastened his pace, determined not to let the Cosmic Crystals be wasted on someone at death’s door, truly a travesty.
However, when Hei Xi arrived at Wang Xu’s coordinates, he found the place empty, with only a Light Computer on the ground, not a shadow of a person.
"That kid... he dared to run away!" Hei Xi was furious, his body lunging to the surface, releasing his Spiritual Consciousness to search for signs of Wang Xu.
"How is it possible, how can his speed be so fast!" Hei Xi’s face turned dark; he had been monitoring Wang Xu’s whereabouts, and from the moment the Light Computer stopped moving to now, it had only been a few minutes. In such a short time, escaping his Spiritual Consciousness zone was simply impossible.
Hei Xi broadened his search but still couldn’t find Wang Xu’s figure, making his face grow even gloomier.
In the end, Hei Xi had no choice but to give up.
"Hmph! Today you escaped with your life; once I ascend to God-level, I’ll enter the Battle Group base and kill you directly, and let’s see who dares to speak up then!" Hei Xi felt a heroic spirit rise; with such a massive amount of Cosmic Crystals, advancing to God-level was just around the corner. Once at God-level, becoming a Judge of the Freedom Alliance, killing a small figure not even considered a Venerable, no one would dare stand in his way.
Thinking this, Hei Xi’s anger faded somewhat, planning to dig a few more Cosmic Crystals before returning to cultivate.
Suddenly, a small shadow came rapidly from the sky, moving incredibly fast, reaching Hei Xi almost instantly.
Hei Xi was shocked; when he saw the shadow’s true identity, he turned and fled without hesitation!
Extreme Ancient Hall!
It was a flying battleship from the Extreme Ancient Hall!
"Damn it! Damn it! How could his actions be so fast? It was only a matter of minutes, yet he was able to find communication equipment to notify the people of Extreme Ancient Hall!" Hei Xi cursed in his heart, not daring to look back, bursting forward at maximum speed.
Inside the flying battleship.
"I say, third brother, a random message makes you leave seclusion immediately; don’t you even know if it’s real or not?" a green-haired youthful boy pouted, "We are after all Void Envoys; how can we just chase after rumors and run out ourselves? It doesn’t match the image of Void Envoys. You forgot what big brother Luo said, he said..."
"Someone is running away." A burly blue-eyed man interrupted the green-haired boy’s chatter abruptly.
"Where?" The green-haired boy’s eyes lit up, rushing forward to see Hei Xi frantically escaping ahead.
Immediately, the green-haired boy opened the cabin door, darting out like a streak, moving with lightning speed.
The blue-eyed man shook his head, activated autopilot, and left the flying battleship, following the green-haired boy in pursuit.
"Heavens, it’s really the Void Envoys! Wang Xu, you wretched bastard, I’m going to flay and dismember you, making your life worse than death!" Hei Xi cursed venomously; looking back to find a fast-moving figure closing in on him in a flash, Hei Xi’s face turned pale, as he hurried to use an Enhancer, unleashing his body’s potential, fleeing at the highest speed.
"Haha, keep running! I love the feeling of a chase, haha!" The green-haired boy laughed excitedly.
"Qian Jian, stop playing. We are here for serious business this time." The blue-eyed man caught up and said.
The green-haired boy instantly deflated like a punctured balloon, pursing his lips and muttering, "Alright."
With that, the green-haired boy’s speed surged, really like a shooting light streaking by, instantly blocking in front of Hei Xi, holding him with a single hand in mid-air.
"It’s over! I can’t move!" Hei Xi’s face went ashen; the presence of a God-level existence could immobilize the void, rendering all objects unable to move. He had thought it a legend, but now it seemed true!
"Hand over the Cosmic Crystals." The blue-eyed man approached, speaking coldly.
"Honored Void Envoys, how could I possibly have the Cosmic Crystals, such treasures?" Hei Xi feigned calm, forcing a smile.
"If you don’t, then why run!" The green-haired boy tapped Hei Xi’s shoulder, causing the Defensive Star Spiritual Treasure Hei Xi was wearing to tremble; he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Hand over the Cosmic Crystals obediently, and stop with the nonsense; otherwise, I’ll kill you directly and search your Space Ring afterward." The blue-eyed man spoke coldly.
Hei Xi’s face was unsightly; he had uttered the same words to Wang Xu before, standing at the top of the food chain at the time, but now he had fallen to the bottom, becoming something others could slaughter at will.
After much hesitation, Hei Xi realized there was no escaping this ordeal today, so he could only obediently take out the Cosmic Crystals from his Space Ring.
"Wow! The message was true; there’s indeed a large amount of Cosmic Crystals!" The green-haired boy snatched the Cosmic Crystals from Hei Xi’s hand and immediately started absorbing them, marveling at the immense energy.
The blue-eyed man took a few Cosmic Crystals; they were relatively small, the largest no more than fifty units, totaling about a hundred units. Clearly, Hei Xi had held something back.
"I will not repeat myself; hand over all the Cosmic Crystals you have on you; I mean all!" As soon as the blue-eyed man finished speaking, a vast aura exploded, leaving Hei Xi’s face even paler, almost like a sheet of paper.
Even with Hei Xi’s Ultimate Venerable Level strength, he was still merely an ant in the presence of the Void Envoys, just a slightly larger one.
In helplessness, for the sake of his life, Hei Xi had no choice but to surrender all the Cosmic Crystals.
"Give me your Space Ring." The blue-eyed man still didn’t trust Hei Xi, and with a flick of his finger, Hei Xi’s Space Ring detached and floated into his hand.
The blue-eyed man casually scanned through it, finding no trace of Cosmic Crystals, frowning as he handed the Space Ring back to Hei Xi.
Hei Xi’s heart throbbed with fear; if, earlier, he had harbored any wishful thinking, now there wouldn’t even be a shred of him left.
"Alright, you may go." The blue-eyed man indicated, and the green-haired boy released the control, but Hei Xi didn’t leave immediately.
"Honored Void Envoys, I’m not the only one who obtained Cosmic Crystals. There’s also a Tier Eight student named Wang Xu. He’s a Special Envoy of the Extreme Ancient Hall, and he has even more Cosmic Crystals than I do!" Hei Xi directly ratted out Wang Xu, his heart full of resentment; if he couldn’t have them, neither should anyone else!
"Pfft!" The blue-eyed man suddenly acted, a streak of light slicing through Hei Xi’s neck, beheading him instantly!
Even in death, the once-arrogant Hei Xi didn’t understand why the Void Envoys had to kill him. He had handed over the Cosmic Crystals and even provided valuable information, so how could he still die?
Hei Xi’s flying decapitated head held a look of sheer unwillingness.
