Chapter 1338: Escaping the Oracle Star

Huiyin’s face drained of color. “So you are going to kill him.”
Wang Zheng’s sense disappeared. Constantine’s spiritual power boomed and Huiyin collapsed. Constantine’s figure disappeared and reappeared in the skies over the temple.
You want to run? You’re dreaming!
They were gone by the time Constantine arrived where they were. He didn’t find anything even after using his spiritual power to search throughout the city. They must have gone out of the Holy City then!
They had to find him, no matter what it would take!
The temple gave orders to change the task to a full-scale one. He wanted Wang Zheng to be captured alive or to see his corpse if he was dead. Anyone who managed to capture him alive would instantly become the Son of Saint, while anyone who killed Wang Zheng would instantly become an Elder.
The Great Elder sobered up immediately after he calmed down. Who could show Huiyin the kind of thing she saw?
Only the Second Elder or the Thirteenth Elder. It was impossible for the Thirteenth, so it must have been the Second Elder.
Second Elder Tan Yuyang and the rest were already on the space shuttle ready to leave the Oracle Star.
The Second Elder knew he had to make a choice. His power was only second to that of Constantine. Since the Oracle was a type of martial technique, it was impossible to share. He would have no hope once Constantine obtained it. Therefore, he had to find a way to let Wang Zheng leave. Only then would he have a chance.
As the Second Elder of the Saint, many of the matters were arranged by him. The real battle was just about to begin. The person who obtained the Oracle would be the winner.
“What’s happening on Wang Zheng’s end?” the Second Elder asked.
Tan Yuyang smiled. “Alan Tucker is with them. He is in charge of our space project. It’s not a problem to leave, it’s just a bit too good for this guy.”
The Second Elder smiled. “We’ll disappear for a while. The Milky Way Alliance will be very lively.”
Wang Zheng and the rest appeared in the transmission array near the misty forest outside of the Holy City. They were waiting for Yuan Jing’s team. They took the risk to appear before the enemy so that they could rescue Meng Tian. There wouldn’t be another chance like this if this failed.
Time trickled away. The Holy City started its search, and people in groups of three to five had expanded their search area to outside of the Holy City. Every candidate was gunning for the generous reward for capturing Wang Zheng. Money? Martial Technique? Power? Status? They were all here.
The transmission array finally lit up and a spirited old man appeared.
“Old Merchant!” Wang Zheng beamed. It was such a happy affair to be able to see Old Merchant here. He thought that it was an illusion that Old Merchant had managed to connect with him, but there were some things that only the two of them would know.
“Lad, you’ve grown taller, not bad. However, this is no time to catch up. Is everyone here?” Old Merchant smiled. He had been in the Saint for this moment. It was time to leave.
“Yuan Jing’s team isn’t here yet.”
Old Merchant opened his Skylink. “They will arrive soon. I’ll cut off all communication with this place once they do.”
The Mars brothers and Jondi Lilick felt as though they were in a lucid dream. Wang Zheng… Was this really the person who could bring about a miracle? To be honest, most of them had accepted their fate being here. Their best ending would be to perish in a fierce battle. In the end… they were leaving.
“Wang Zheng, who is this gentleman?” Jondi Lilick asked curiously. Old Merchant? He had never heard of this name. He was obviously not a warrior, but he had a strong presence.
“This is my master. His other name is Alan Tucker,” Wang Zheng said.
Old Merchant wasn’t just Wang Zheng’s master, but his kin. He had a very vague recollection of his own parents. Old Merchant was the one caring for him.
“Alan Tucker? That Alan Tucker?” Jondi Lilick asked with a shock. No human would be foreign to the greatest scientist of this era, Alan Tucker.
Mars and Olivios were shocked as well. The man mentioned in their textbooks, whose contribution to physics and mathematics was unparalleled.
Old Merchant was pretty satisfied that he still had such influence after disappearing for so long.
Yuan Jing appeared with Meng Tian on his back, followed by Kang Siqi and Huo Dong.
Mars and Olivios went up to them immediately, and Old Merchant activated the transmission array immediately. They were really going to leave the Oracle Star now.
Old Merchant didn’t have anything to miss from his time here. He had stopped his obsession with parallel space at his age. All he hoped for now was to have Wang Zheng grow up quickly. It would be perfect if Wang Zheng could give him a baby — a grandchild— to cradle.
They disappeared from the Oracle Star.
Old Merchant set many confusing points in his route. They circled around in an escape route that Old Merchant had prepared a long time back. For safety purposes, he was barely in contact with Wang Zheng all these years. Even the Circle of Elders didn’t think that Alan Tucker was connected with Wang Zheng. In their eyes, Old Merchant and Professor Sharjah were similar breeds of mad scientists. They were both elites “persecuted” by the Milky Way Alliance.
There were many things that they couldn’t stop.
Alan Tucker and the Second Elder’s disappearance and the rest of the matters made Constantine mad with fury. Wang Zheng had definitely been stolen from under his nose, and by the Heaven-rank master beside him.
The Aslan Empire couldn’t turn back now. The annihilation plan was to be implemented immediately.
In the vast universe, a huge fleet consisting of warriors from 20 countries marched on. It was clear that no one would dare to provoke them.
Aslan seemed to champion the command of the fleet, but in fact, the participating countries were all aiming to play a significant part in the annihilation of the Saint Church. They were now clear about the origin of the Saint Church. They were too naive. Their era was gone, and restoring their glory was just a dream. Nonetheless, everyone wanted the mysterious power and technology the Saint Church had. Their wealth had to be insurmountable as well. The creation of Roland Garros was the envy of many!
Aslan had been active because they wanted to save their princess, so they had always been campaigning to be the main force; however, the other countries weren’t dumb either. Especially the Arbiter Republic. The gap between their countries would become too huge if Aslan were to take the lead. The Arbiter Republic would be able to surpass Aslan if they were to get hold of the Oracle.
The Arbiter Republic, Manalasuo, and the other stronger countries ganged up together to suppress Aslan. The Princess could be a reason, but that was a private matter. It wasn’t an international practice. If they were to go by geographical jurisdiction, it would be unde Lya Sphinx. Lya Sphinx had apparently reached an agreement with the Arbiter Republic and Manalasuo. All of them were prepared to balance out the power of the Aslan Empire. An ally like the Atlantis had been the jealousy of many countries for quite a long while. This contradiction made the relationship unstable.
