Chapter 98: Lan Xiaobu's Plan
Hou Yi let out a bitter smile, "I’ll take the blame for you, but without you, I would have lost my life on Jade Dawn Star. Although I’ve stepped into the Dan Refining Realm, against a Level-7 Technological Civilization Planet, I still have a long way to go. I’m returning just for my own peace of mind, but you..."
Lan Xiaobu raised his hand to stop Hou Yi’s words.
"Since I’ve decided to go with you, there’s no turning back."
"Good! I'm lucky to have met a friend like you," Hou Yi said, clenching his fist with excitement.
"Let's go and challenge those who look down on us."
Lan Xiaobu waved his hand, "No, we’re not going to Golden Spring Star."
Seeing Hou Yi look at him in surprise, Lan Xiaobu chuckled, "We're going somewhere else called Lingluo Star."
"Are we going to lure Black Bearded Dust back to save it?" Hou Yi asked, then immediately shook his head.
"No way. Lingluo Star is too strong. As soon as they launch a counterattack with their warships, we probably won't be able to escape. Moreover, with our six-level battleship, we can’t get close to Lingluo Star at all."
Lan Xiaobu smiled, "We don’t need to get too close; we can attack from a distance. They definitely won't dare to send their warships on a whim. Their first response will be to report this to Black Bearded Dust and prepare their defenses."
"Why?" Hou Yi instinctively inquired.
Lan Xiaobu replied, "You’re on a Level-7 Technological Civilization Planet. Would you think someone would attack you?"
Hou Yi shook his head.
"No. Not to mention a Level-7 Technological Civilization Planet, even my Golden Spring Star wouldn't normally be targeted."
"Exactly! They think the same way. Now that someone is attacking them, they'll surely believe it’s the top powers uniting against them, taking advantage of the absence of Black Bearded Dust. Naturally, they will inform him that as soon as he returns, we will have succeeded."
According to Lan Xiaobu’s understanding, it was evident that Black Bearded Dust was someone who could cover up the sky with one hand.
Not only stubborn, but also self-centered, he would never allow other voices to persuade him against his will.
For those under such a ruler to last, they had to stay wise and protect themselves.
If they suddenly attacked a Level-7 Technological Civilization Planet like Lingluo Star, the people there would certainly react as if their adversaries were extremely strong opponents.
Why? You wouldn't dare to attack a Level-7 Technological Civilization Planet if you weren't powerful enough, would you?
Once this thought settled in, with Black Bearded Dust as their supporter, they must seek to avoid any blame.
As long as they could defend Lingluo Star, they were in the clear.
But if their assault led to an ambush or some trap, then they would be done for.
On the flip side, even if they won the assault, that would be expected; after all, their primary duty was to repel attackers while guarding their home planet.
Lan Xiaobu had never been in office, but he understood a bit about some rules if he wanted to climb up.
Hou Yi clapped his hands, "Right! We’re not aiming to attack Lingluo Star. Instead, we’re aiming to take down Black Bearded Dust. Great idea! Let’s head to Lingluo Star."
Lan Xiaobu patted Hou Yi's shoulder, "What we’re doing is called ‘Surround the Wei to save Zhao,’ we’ll attack Lingluo Star to draw that emperor back, and then I’ll sneak away from the Fuhe and lurk among the stars to plot against them."
Hou Yi’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
He gave a thumbs up to Lan Xiaobu, "You must come from a highly spiritual planet; otherwise, your brain wouldn’t be so clever. But leave the plotting against Black Bearded Dust to me. I’ve stepped into the Dan Refining Realm. I can regulate my breathing and hide in the stars away from Fuhe."
Lan Xiaobu laughed heartily, "Hou Yi, I was the one who taught you the Golden Crow Technique. You’re in the Dan Refining Realm now; could it be that I’m not?"
"You’ve reached the Dan Refining Realm too?" Hou Yi's eyes widened.
No wonder Lan Xiaobu was able to easily defeat Mu Yuansang; it turned out he was already a Dan Refining cultivator at that time.
Even though Hou Yi worked hard to reach Dan Refining Realm, he had no idea that Lan Xiaobu was hiding such strength during the time the Fuhe was stationed on a barren star.
"I’ve long been in the Dan Refining Realm, and I even have a cauldron bomb, which I snatched from Black Bearded Dust. All I need to do is blow it up on his battleship, and it will definitely be destroyed," Lan Xiaobu declared proudly while taking out something the size of a coin.
Hou Yi sighed, "If we’re using that thing, it probably couldn’t even shake Black Bearded Dust’s war shuttle. He rides the most advanced Level-7 battleship, which has defenses that ordinary items can’t penetrate. Besides, you can’t even get closer to Black Bearded Dust's war shuttle."
Both fell into silence.
If even the cauldron bomb couldn’t break through, then they definitely wouldn’t even be able to scratch the surface with things like magnetic distortion guns and light bombs.
"Actually, there’s another way," Hou Yi broke the silence.
"What’s that?" Lan Xiaobu quickly asked.
Hou Yi explained, "In the Huangchuan Galaxy, there’s a Level-4 Technological Civilization Planet called Li Star. This planet produced an incredible genius named Wu Jiu. The reason the cultivation civilization left this side of the starry sky was because of that cauldron bomb. And that bomb was developed by this Wu Jiu."
"Such an impressive item came from a Level-4 Technological Civilization Planet?" Lan Xiaobu was somewhat astonished.
Hou Yi continued, "Li Star wasn’t originally a Level-4 Technological Civilization Planet; it was actually a legitimate Level-7 Technological Civilization Planet. However, after the cauldron bomb was created, enraged cultivators nearly ripped Li Star apart. Wu Jiu was taken away because of this, and Li Star fell into decline. It’s been many years since then; many planets have faced extinction. For Li Star to develop into a Level-4 Technological Civilization Planet from the ruins is already remarkable."
"And what does this have to do with our plans?" Lan Xiaobu asked, puzzled.
Hou Yi explained, "Even though Wu Jiu’s cauldron bomb caused great harm and killed countless innocent people, it also made the cultivators realize that the technological civilization is not to be trifled with. Only then did they retreat to the other side of the cosmic wall. When the cultivators took Wu Jiu away, the Technological Civilization Planet, in remembrance of his contributions, placed a magic weapon used by powerful cultivators on Li Star, heavily guarding it."
While somewhat skeptical about whether the cultivators truly left due to the cauldron bomb, Lan Xiaobu began to grasp it.
Indeed, Hou Yi continued, "We’ll go steal this magic weapon, and then use it to blast Black Bearded Dust's warship."
"Sounds good enough. But we aren’t going to steal it; we’ll take it openly. I just wonder if Golden Spring Star can hold out long enough for us to retrieve that weapon and then attack Lingluo Star," Lan Xiaobu said, patting Hou Yi.
Hou Yi pondered for a moment and replied, "If we act quickly, we should be able to hold out. No matter how strong Lingluo Star is, Black Bearded Dust is the one who has taken people away to wage war. Golden Spring Star has plenty of Level-7 technological weapons, and its defenses have always ranked first in its galaxy. Moreover, the protective net around Golden Spring Star was also left behind by a Level-7 Technological Civilization. I’ve heard that the Level-7 Technological Civilization back then was several tiers stronger than today’s."
"Why?"
"I'm not too sure about this either. Just what I heard from my teacher."
...
A month later, the Fuhe emerged from folded space, appearing in the Huangchuan Galaxy.
Hou Yi didn’t cultivate, but instead kept observing the position of Li Star.
Meanwhile, Lan Xiaobu was overjoyed, sensing the Seven-Tone Model within his Sea of Consciousness.
A month and a half ago, he wanted to use the Seven-Tone Model to build a Sword Flight Technique, but due to his slowness, Lan Xiaobu didn’t wait it out.
Unexpectedly, a month and a half later, parts of the Sword Flight Technique began to emerge within the Seven-Tone Model.
This showed that if sufficient spiritual energy was provided, the development speed of the Sword Flight Technique would be even faster.
What excited Lan Xiaobu the most was that once he constructed the spell model, the Seven-Tone Model would gradually shape this spell.
This was likely because the Seven-Tone Model absorbed Spirit Stones while aboard the Fuhe.
If they were outside, the Seven-Tone Model would probably be able to draw the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the surroundings.
The more abundant the spiritual energy, the faster the Seven-Tone Model could develop spell models.
"Xiaobu, we’re almost at Li Star, but something’s strange," Hou Yi called out.
Lan Xiaobu hurried to the large screen on the Fuhe.
The screen showed Li Star surrounded by blinking lights, which truly looked peculiar.
"I understand now. Li Star is actually under attack! What a coincidence!" Hou Yi exclaimed, slapping his leg in excitement.
"This might not be a coincidence; the attack must have been ongoing for some time," Lan Xiaobu remarked, suddenly pondering about Jade Dawn Star and casually saying, "I wonder if it’s related to the opening of Jade Dawn Star."
After speaking, Lan Xiaobu increasingly felt that his guess was correct.
If Li Star was under attack, it could really be connected to the opening of Jade Dawn Star.
Jade Dawn Star contained cultivation methods and many spiritual resources.
Perhaps someone had acquired top-tier cultivation techniques there and turned their sights on Li Star for its magic weapon.
These people from technological planets publicly condemned the cultivation civilization while secretly engaging in cultivation themselves.
"There’s a real possibility. Let’s hurry over and not let others seize the opportunity," Hou Yi urged, accelerating the Fuhe once more.
In just a day, Li Star clearly appeared on the Fuhe's large screen.
Not only was Li Star under attack, but it also looked like its defense network was on the verge of collapsing.
"Foreign warships, please leave this area, or else you will be attacked..." a voice echoed from the Fuhe.
Hou Yi chuckled, "I’m sure these people won’t dare to attack us. Some Level-5 technological civilization’s attack warships will definitely recognize that I’m flying a Level-6 warship. Until they figure out my origins, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
Lan Xiaobu pointed to the large screen, "Stop the chatter. They’re getting anxious."
