After putting Yang Ling into his God Territory temporarily and recalling the ten God’s Figurine’s Combat Souls, Lin Huang concealed his aura and disguised himself. After that, he departed with Steel Fist and Epic Player.
After passing through the dimensional portal, Lin Huang appeared directly on the rooftop of a tall building.
He could not help frowning slightly when he saw the never-ending stream of crowds, vehicles, and horses below.
A place like this was not ideal for a fight.
“Is this the Ricky Star?!” Epic Player asked at once after he swept his gaze over his surroundings. Clearly, he was familiar with this planet.
“The Ricky Star in the Coyne Star Zone?” Lin Huang had heard of this planet as well.
The Coyne Star Zone was in the core zone of the God Territory. It was one of the top three commercial trade star zones. Furthermore, the Ricky Star was the richest of the several planets in the God Territory.
Anyone who had been in the God Territory for some time would have probably heard the saying—”Ricky Star, Ricky Star, Divine Crystals everywhere!”
“That’s right.” Steel Fist nodded slightly, confirming Lin Huang’s suspicions.
“This isn’t a good place for a fight,” Epic Player verbalized what Lin Huang was thinking, looking rather helpless.
“Let’s confirm first whether he’s here or not.” Lin Huang did not say much.
To keep from alerting the enemy, the three of them concealed their auras and even disguised their appearances. They certainly could not use Divine Telekinesis either.
Lin Huang had given the matter some thought and decided on his plan. If Cunning Rabbit were really hiding on this planet, he would summon Shackle Serpent to seal off his Dao seal immediately and take him somewhere safe before dealing with him.
“Follow me.” Steel Fist was now in a black leather dress, and her charisma was considerably more beguiling.
In a flash, she vanished on the spot.
Lin Huang and Epic Player immediately followed suit.
A moment later, the three of them appeared in the air above a bar.
They no longer had to hide their auras once they had arrived at this location.
“Cunning Rabbit opened this bar. The private room in the furthest part of the basement is his,” Steel Fist communicated to the other two via voice transmission.
“The two of you stand guard here; I’ll check it out.” Lin Huang nodded slightly. In a flash, he appeared directly at the door of the room that Steel Fist had mentioned.
The room seemed to have a unique barrier in place. Even Lin Huang’s Divine Telekinesis could not penetrate it.
Not only that, there was a defense barrier as well.
Lin Huang drew his sword and shattered the door with one slash. He then stepped inside.
The private room was actually a luxurious suite, but it was empty at the moment.
Lin Huang scanned through once with Divine Telekinesis; however, he did not find anything of note.
He only contacted Steel Fist and Epic Player with Divine Telekinesis after he left the room to summon them both down here.
The two of them scanned the room with Divine Telekinesis as well after entering. They then began a physical search of the place.
After approximately ten minutes or so, the three of them gathered in the living room after a fruitless search.
“This room has quite evidently been cleared out. Even most of the furniture has been taken away,” Steel Fist said with a frown.
Apart from a few paintings on the living room walls, nothing remained. Even the wardrobe and bed in the bedroom had been removed. The entire suite appeared vacant.
“I’m guessing he used some method to find out about Black Mountain and the others being killed.” Lin Huang turned his gaze to Steel Fist. “Furthermore, he was very much aware that you knew about this foothold of his, so he rushed back to clean everything up and avoid exposing his tracks.”
“Unfortunately, I only know about this foothold of his.” Steel Fist frowned slightly. “Now that this lead has fizzled out, it’ll be hard to find him again.”
“His running away is further proof that he’s the spy.” Lin Huang did not show very much emotion. He had already anticipated that this might happen.
“Let’s send the information about him being a spy to headquarters first,” Epic Player said and looked at Lin Huang. “Since he already knows the result of our battle earlier, he’ll definitely transmit information about you to the Raiders’ headquarters the first chance he gets.
“Once you’ve come to the attention of the Raiders’ headquarters, the Raiders in the universe will most certainly send even more powerful Raiders to hunt you. Black Mountain and Spy were middle-rank Lords, so the Raiders they send next will definitely be more powerful than both of them combined. They might even send upper-rank Lords!”
Lin Huang could not help frowning at this point.
He had never imagined that the aftermath would bring so much trouble.
“That’s why we must send the information about him being a spy to the Club’s headquarters right away. Then we’ll tell them about your situation in detail and request headquarters for backup.
“But even if the powerhouses from headquarters can defeat the Raiders from the universe, your troubles might not be over yet,” Epic Player continued, “There might be more Raiders who will accept the mission to kill you.”
“What you’ve just said makes me want to kill Cunning Rabbit even more now,” Lin Huang said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.
In reality, he already felt a sense of danger.
Initially, he had thought he was already powerful enough. However, from the looks of things now, this was entirely not the case.
With the threat of the Raiders hanging over his head like a huge mountain, Lin Huang just could not feel completely at ease.
“That’s why I asked if you were planning to go to the universe,” Steel Fist could not help commenting from where she was. “As soon as you enter the universe, it will be difficult for the Raiders to find you since it’s so vast. However, if you stay in this great world, it will be much easier for them to find you.”
Lin Huang shook his head still. “There are matters in the great world that I haven’t sorted out, so I can’t leave just yet. What do both of you intend to do next?”
“We’ll have to hide for a while in the universe.” Epic Player gave a wry, resigned smile. “If the Raiders really do send upper-rank Lords over, both of us can’t fight them.”
From beside him, Steel Fist did not raise any objections.
The three of them went their separate ways after chatting for a while.
Lin Huang had fully anticipated failing to capture Cunning Rabbit. He did not dwell further on the matter.
After returning to the Devil Hunter Star Zone, he glanced at the near-total destruction wrought on the area and did not linger.
He appeared on a planet in a nearby star zone.
Ignoring the bustling crowds of people, Lin Huang pushed open the door and entered a particular courtyard.
“Lord Swordmaster!” A figure welcomed him immediately. It was Sword1 in a purple robe.
“Is everyone on this planet?” Lin Huang asked immediately after a faint nod.
“Not at all. To be safe, we’re scattered over five different star zones.” Sword1 shook his head. “Is there a problem?”
“The danger isn’t fully past yet.” Lin Huang’s expression remained tense. “Summon all of them here, please.”
Less than five minutes later, everyone from the Sword Alliance had gathered in the courtyard.
“For a while in the future, there might be more powerful Raiders from the universe coming to attack. The great world isn’t safe, in particular the areas around the Devil Hunter Star Zone. For safety, I’ve decided to place all of you in the God Territory within me…”
After this brief explanation, everyone present did not raise any objections at all. Lin Huang then put all of them into the God Territory within him.
Once he was done, Lin Huang looked toward a specific direction in the distant heavens. It was where the Nephilic Judge Tribe was…
