Cheng Liujin stood in front of the window of the flying vehicle, gazing at the breathtakingly beautiful Colorful Cloud Fragment Star Belt below.
“Boss, the clan leader…”
One of his subordinates approached, hesitating to speak.
Cheng Liujin shifted his gaze to him, frowning and asking, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s been a long time, and there hasn’t been any news from the clan leader. Should we go down and check?”
Currently, the members of the clan leader’s guard had a very high level of recognition for Ye Zhongming. They were primarily composed of those who were unwilling to be manipulated by Luo She and Bashiru before, and they had also brought up the elite members from the Gold Camp. They wholeheartedly supported the new clan leader of the Star Eye Clan.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming’s decision to let them leave first was seen as a life-saving choice, which left these warriors feeling a complex mix of guilt, sadness, reluctance, and worry upon returning.
As time went on, this feeling fermented into an impatient urge to do something.
Cheng Liujin shook his head.
“Down there, even a random giant dragon is a peak expert level. Not to mention you all, even I would be essentially giving my life up against them. What good would it do for us to go?”
“If the clan leader isn’t in danger, our presence would be superfluous. If he is in danger, then our presence would be a burden. So let’s wait here.”
Cheng Liujin’s tone was not very pleasant due to his concern for Ye Zhongming, but his subordinates understood.
They could only watch the area below, feeling indignant… their strength was still too low.
At that moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, startling everyone. Under the reproachful gazes of others, he shouted, “It’s a communication from the clan leader! He gave us a coordinate and wants us to send a flying vehicle down to pick him up!”
Instantly, the atmosphere in the cabin, which had been tense moments before, came alive. Everyone began to busily prepare, and Cheng Liujin’s face lit up with joy as he rushed to check the location of the coordinate.
“Zone Seven…” Cheng Liujin was taken aback after seeing it, and the others were the same.
That place is a forbidden zone for the All Races of the Universe right now!
The clan leader arrived there in such a short time?
To be honest, this completely exceeded everyone’s scope of understanding.
However, Ye Zhongming had brought so many changes to the Star Eye Clan since arriving less than two years ago that the acceptance level among the clan members had risen to a certain extent. After a brief moment of digesting the information, they immediately began executing the orders.
The flying vehicle detached from the mothership, and the occupants cautiously landed in Zone Seven. During this process, the pilots swore they sensed at least four peak giant dragons watching them. For those who hadn’t even reached the peak expert level, they could feel a soul-deep tremor through the thick hull of the vehicle.
Once they landed and saw a peak giant dragon staring coldly at them, many people’s knees nearly buckled. If it weren’t for Ye Zhongming waving his hand dismissively, they would have already knelt.
While returning to the mothership in the company of Aunt Chao Yang and Red Boy, their hands trembled the entire time, which made Ye Zhongming worry that these guys might crash the vehicle.
“Any sensations?”
Back in the mothership, knowing about the existence of the dragon race's oath, Ye Zhongming asked Red Boy and Aunt Chao Yang about their feelings after entering space, fearing that the toxins in their bodies might act up.
Red Boy looked confused, probably due to his strength. Although he was strong already, he might not have reached the peak, so his feelings weren’t very clear.
But Aunt Chao Yang clearly sensed something. After carefully feeling for a few seconds, she said, “There’s a stirring, but it can be suppressed. Just…”
Ye Zhongming frowned slightly, “But what?”
