The group witnessed a powerful Slave Race consuming a planet, followed by the planet's natives battling an infestation of rapidly evolving parasites. Despite the natives' efforts and eventual unification, they were overwhelmed. In a last act of desperation, the most powerful native sacrificed the remaining population to gain enough power to confront the Slave Race, but the "video" abruptly ended before the outcome was revealed, suggesting this was only a partial explanation.

Inside the small tent, the three higher-ups of the Star-Eye Clan who had come here were all present—the two Star-Eye lords, and Cheng Liujin.

"How is it?"

Star Lord looked at Cheng Liujin and said.

"They have come."

Cheng Liujin took a deep breath, then spoke two words that only they could understand.

"Although I did not get close, I can confirm that a squad of no more than thirty Huo'er Star people has indeed arrived near the Overlapping Water Dead Zone. We... should have already been exposed."

The Star-Eye Clan was indeed very weak, like a salted fish before the Huo'er Star people. But they had strengths in certain areas, such as assassination, sneak attacks, and reconnaissance.

If they had not specifically scouted the surroundings, they would certainly not have discovered the Huo'er Star people. But if they went to look around with a specific purpose, their chances of finding the target were very high.

However, Cheng Liujin and the two Star-Eye lords were not happy because they had detected the Huo'er Star people's tracks. On the contrary, they fell into worry.

The appearance of the Huo'er Star people here basically confirmed that they were certain Ye Zhongming and the others did the matter.

The reason for this judgment was also related to the message sent back by Huozhi.

The Su Clan elder said that Zi Mu from the Huo'er Star side had not appeared in public for several days and had not even participated in the clan's large-scale hunt.

For a person who wanted to gain a good reputation through this hunt, this almost certainly confirmed that this prince must have encountered trouble.

That is to say, Ye Zhongming, Jie Su, and White Robe had very likely accomplished this matter. It was just not yet certain whether they had been killed, captured, or escaped.

After all, the purpose of this small squad was also unclear. Were they here to scout the way? Or to confirm the situation?

Either way, the Star-Eye Clan had to prepare.

"Now, what should be done?"

Cheng Liujin looked at the two clan leaders and asked.

Huozhi had already left the Overlapping Water Dead Zone. Once he confirmed that the matter was exposed, he would take action against the Huo'er Star people from his side. When he left, he had left behind an activated formation, saying that when he started on his end, this formation would make a corresponding reaction, and then this side would also have to activate.

The matter had actually reached a point where action was unavoidable.

But the situation facing the Star-Eye Clan now was very complicated.

They could unite these small race alliances to go against the Eight Heads of Dark Strip City, because they shared a common goal and common interests.

But now, the opposing force was the Huo'er Star people, a super-large clan, one of the leading races of the three major camps.

Those small races, if they were even slightly normal, would not follow them in doing this.

Making them help the Star-Eye Clan was simply hell difficulty.

"Coerce them!" Eye Lady said softly.

Then she ordered Cheng Liujin, "Confirm the location of this Huo'er Star people squad. Then, lure our hunting forces over there, let both sides clash, and without their knowledge, let the people of the small race alliance get covered in the blood of the Huo'er Star people. Our people inside must play a role so that the fighting does not stop."

Cheng Liujin nodded solemnly. He knew that whether the other small races would follow the Star-Eye Clan was key in this matter.

If it succeeded, these people might not necessarily follow the Star-Eye Clan all the way down the dark path. But if it failed, they certainly would not follow the Star-Eye Clan.

"Once Huozhi starts on his end, we must set off immediately. So time is short. We need to do this as quickly as possible."

Cheng Liujin nodded.

Then he thought for a moment and said, "Our preparations here are also fairly sufficient. Just the transport vehicles alone are enough for us to move quickly. But... the Su Clan side..."

The Gold Order Leader's concern was not unfounded. The final success or failure of this matter depended key on the Su Clan. They were at most supports.

But the Su Clan side was not like the small race alliance here. They presented a three-pillar formation; even their arrival at the planet hunting ground was like this.

Now, the leader in name, Huozhi had also left. Could the Su Clan side still go along?

"On the Su Clan side, it depends on whether the two elders left behind are discerning enough," Star Lord said so, with a cold look on his face.

"Go do it. We also have things to do," Eye Lady said to the couple's right-hand man.

………………

Su Clan Camp.

Inside Chongken Su's tent, Elder Luozhi Su was also present. Also here was a Su Clan member named Ming Qi.

Ming Qi was not a direct descendant of the Su Clan, but like Huozhi, he was an outstanding figure among the non-direct lineage. The only difference was that Huozhi's talent was in formations, and he was more of a genius, while Ming Qi's talent was in combat. His talent was somewhat inferior to Huozhi's, but now, he was only a stone's throw away from the great expert level.

"What mysterious matter do you want to see us about?"

Chongken Su looked at Ming Qi with some dissatisfaction, his eyes full of impatience.

If it had been anyone else, wanting to see him and Luozhi Su would have been impossible. But Ming Qi was somewhat special. This person was not only a famous genius among the non-direct lineage but also the guard leader of Huozhi, and also the deputy of Zhou Su.

Who was Zhou Su? He was the guard leader of Clan Leader Yaohan Su, the highest commander of the Su Clan's pure warrior force. Ming Qi was his deputy. In straightforward terms, he was also a deputy corps commander.

Given the rarity of the Su Clan's pure warriors, as long as Ming Qi broke through to a great expert, he would very likely obtain an elder seat. At that time, their statuses would be nearly equal, the difference being only between senior and non-senior, direct and non-direct.

Therefore, the two still had to respect Ming Qi's respect.

Ming Qi smiled, not minding Chongken Su's attitude, and said softly, "The main reason I invited the two elders here is to discuss a very important matter with you."

Elder Luozhi Su, on the side, sat relaxed in his chair, looked at Ming Qi, and said, "Is it about why Huozhi left the camp? And took away over a hundred formation masters?"

Chongken Su heard this, and surprise appeared in his eyes. He had indeed not seen Huozhi for the past few days, but he did not find it weird. After all, at their level, cultivating for several days or studying a formation for days and nights without sleep was normal.

But now it seemed he had missed something.

Ming Qi was not surprised to be detected. He nodded and said, "Indeed, it has a direct relationship with what Elder Huozhi went out to do."

"Then tell me, what did he go out to do?" Elder Luozhi Su leisurely took a sip of water, then waited for Ming Qi to answer. He had already prepared to take the opportunity to 'cut' the clan leader's faction a piece.

In Luozhi Su's view, Huozhi making such a big move and taking away so many outstanding formation masters was certainly to set up formations outside. He estimated it was to conduct a large-scale hunt. With Huozhi's strength, if he made this move, the profits might reach hundreds of millions of Moonspan Gold. With such a large gain, they would have to share some of the spoils.

Ming Qi then said, "Elder Huozhi has gone to kill people."

He calmly looked at the two elders who held high positions in the Su Clan and said slowly, "To kill... Huo'er Star people."
