After this brief interlude, the entire hall quieted down once more.
Everyone resud focus on their own matters.
However, a few people kept their attention on Ji Lingling and Li Chen.
After a long ti, an elder with a hooked nose pointed at Li Chen and Ji Lingling and asked, "Who are these two? I’ve never seen them before."
Seeing this, the others exchanged glances and shook their heads.
They also had never seen these two and couldn’t answer the question.
After quite a while, soone finally responded, "Could it be that they’ve always stayed in their room and never ca out?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other again, finding this explanation quite reasonable.
After all, people’s personalities differ greatly.
So are extroverted and lively, while others are introverted and shy; so love excitent, while others prefer quiet.
With a hundred thousand people on this spaceship, it’s quite normal for so to prefer staying in their rooms.
The elder with the hooked nose accepted this explanation, nodding slowly.
However, his pupils remained deeply set, as if he was contemplating sothing while staring at Li Chen and Ji Lingling, as if trying to uncover so secret.
The young man, observing closely, asked in a very serious tone, "Taoist Bai Ying, have you noticed sothing?"
Before the elder with the hooked nose could respond, a pale-faced scholar next to him interrupted, speaking with so concern:
"That woman knocked Zhao Qi, a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator, back with just one palm. Her cultivation is extraordinary; could she ruin our plans?"
This pale-faced scholar was a Jiuzhou cultivator, skilled in wielding a silver sword, also known as the Silver Sword Scholar.
The major event he referred to was the hijacking of the universe spaceship.
The Star Pavilion monopolizes a Dragon Spiritual Vein and holds the monopoly on high-tech technologies left by the Ancient Maya, making many great nations and forces envious.
Of course, many forces are just envious and dare not take action.
Because the power of the Star Pavilion is unparalleled both in the Jiuzhou Realm and the Mortal World, making it a superpower others cannot contend with.
Even though Li Chen has been gone for a whole decade, his influence still lingers, and his legends remain in the worldly society.
Other forces worry that even if they could join forces to bring down the Star Pavilion, once Li Chen returns as king, they would still suffer consequences. Therefore, they dare not act rashly.
However, while they dare not act rashly, there are so who fear nothing.
The people in front of us are just that kind of fearless individuals!
Their purpose this ti is to seize the opportunity to hijack the East No. Universe Spaceship, using it as a bargaining chip to exchange for a wealth of resources and fortune.
Then, they will pilot the spaceship into the vast universe to explore.
Before the words of the Silver Sword Scholar could finish, a very rough and bushy-bearded man interrupted, shouting:
"No wonder they say scholars are useless; you bookworms are just too timid. In my opinion, looking at that woman, she’s at most Golden Core Middle Stage. The reason she could knock Zhao Qi back just now was purely because she caught him off guard, nothing to worry about!"
The crowd agreed upon hearing this and nodded in unison.
The elder with the hooked nose stroked his goatee, saying, "In three days, we’ll reach Pluto’s aphelion. That’s when we’ll take action."
"Currently on the spaceship, the Star Pavilion has three Nascent Soul cultivators; the one with the highest cultivation is the Limp Taoist, who has reached the Late-stage Nascent Soul and is quite difficult to deal with. The other two are Nascent Soul Middle Stage."
"In addition, Huaxia Military’s Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird are also on board; Azure Dragon’s cultivation is strong, having reached Half-step Nascent Soul, and Vermilion Bird is at the Late Stage Golden Core Perfect Realm. Plus, they have the latest high-tech weaponry, making them quite tricky to handle, so we need to be cautious..."
...
At the sa ti, Li Chen, who was drinking, suddenly seed shocked and glanced subconsciously in the direction of the hooked-nose elder out of the corner of his eye.
His Divine Sense could cover the entire universe spaceship, so the conspiracy of the hooked-nose elder and others did not escape his ears, not a single word.
These people are very bold, daring to conspire to hijack the spaceship and openly oppose their Star Pavilion; they are simply courting death!
Ji Lingling, sipping slowly, noticed the sudden change in Li Chen’s expression and blinked, asking, "Sir, what’s wrong with you?"
At this mont, Ji Lingling, having taken a few sips of strong wine, was slightly intoxicated, her pretty face flushed, looking quite captivating.
Li Chen smiled slightly, "Nothing!"
After saying that, he slightly closed his eyes, pretending to rest while using his Divine Sense to cover the entire universe spaceship.
There are already three Nascent Soul cultivators among the hijackers, and the elder with the hooked nose is a Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, similar to the Limp Taoist.
In addition, Li Chen discovered an old acquaintance, Heavenly Thunder Sect Leader Heavenly Thunder True Monarch!
Back then, Li Chen had a solitary battle at Heavenly Pool Mountain against top experts of Jiuzhou, including Jian Chen, Teng Wanli, and Heavenly Thunder True Monarch.
Among them, Jian Chen, Teng Wanli, and others perished by his sword, while Heavenly Thunder Sect Leader Heavenly Thunder True Monarch narrowly escaped by severing his own arm.
Later, this Heavenly Thunder True Monarch was visited by Jian Wuheng, losing another arm and becoming completely disabled.
At that ti, Li Chen was busy dealing with Jian Wuheng and did not bother with him further.
Little did he expect that this old fellow would dare to cause trouble again!
Moreover, it seems that he must have had so lucky encounters over the ten years.
Because Li Chen keenly noticed that although Heavenly Thunder True Monarch had lost both arms, his cultivation had advanced since ten years ago, reaching the Late-stage Nascent Soul Perfection Realm and even beginning to touch the threshold of Divinity Transformation.
Realizing this, a proud and cold smile curled at the corners of Li Chen’s mouth.
Since you want to play, I’ll play with you till the end!
Now, there are still three days until they plan to hijack the spaceship, so Li Chen is not in a hurry.
He also wanted to see how many people are involved. Once they all reveal themselves, he will catch them all in one fell swoop!
"Sir!"
Just as Li Chen was planning his strategy, Ji Lingling suddenly called out softly.
Ji Lingling had never drunk such strong wine as Moutai before; though she was only curious and took two small sips, the alcohol hit her head, her pretty face already flushed, and even her earlobes started to burn. From a distance, she looked like a ripe, dew-drenched red apple, quite endearing.
Li Chen was surprised to find Ling’er was drunk after half a glass.
"Ling’er, what’s wrong?"
Ji Lingling wobbled while trying to stand, but due to the unstable center of gravity, she collapsed directly into Li Chen’s arms.
She softly burped from drinking and gazed at Li Chen with drunken, blurry eyes, saying, "Sir, you know, I really like you..."
After saying this, she imdiately fell asleep in Li Chen’s embrace.
