Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 908: Chapter 705: Breaking In

Originally, besides Ruan Ruan, Su Yuan indeed had no intention of contracting any other Guardian Beasts.

The reason for deciding to contract Mo Fei as a Guardian Beast now is that Mo Fei’s character and potential are quite remarkable, and he already possesses the strength to stand on his own.

In solo combat, if nothing unexpected happens, Ruan Ruan is no match for him.

Secondly, the emergence of the Grey Realm is a great opportunity to plunder Star Cores.

Contracting Mo Fei as a Guardian Beast would allow him, like Ruan Ruan, to hunt Star Dust for Su Yuan.

Mo Fei has a nature that can endure hardships and a passion for combat, making this arrangement most fitting.

After some contemplation in recent days, Su Yuan finally made this decision.

Since there was to be a Guardian Beast Contract, the previous servant contract naturally became obsolete.

Tearing up the servant contract not only gives Mo Fei another chance to choose, but also serves as a small test for him.

Initially, when forming the servant contract with Mo Fei, Su Yuan was forced into a corner.

Now, it is considered giving him another opportunity to choose for himself.

If he truly chooses to leave now, Su Yuan won’t keep him, and bringing him out of the Qingming Realm and nurturing him thus far would not have been in vain.𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

And losing a Legendary Star Beast that has no attachment, though regrettable for Su Yuan, is not considered a significant loss in Yuan Qi terms.

On the contrary, if Mo Fei stays, Su Yuan would naturally cultivate him without reservations, just like with Ruan Ruan.

Fortunately, Mo Fei’s performance did not disappoint Su Yuan.

...

Another day passed, and the military support deployment arrived.

As the main offensive entry point of the Shake Territory, Guangchuan City had already gathered two more Major Generals besides Qin Shang and Wu Shaoyang.

This time, both the Shake Territory and Lianqi Ridge were to be attacked simultaneously.

Considering the number of lord-level experts on the enemy’s side, the eight generals of Great Flame adopted a 4, 1, 3 force deployment strategy.

Qin Shang, Wu Shaoyang, and two others led the attack on the Shake Territory;

The other three generals led the attack on Lianqi Ridge;

In between, a Major General led a team to cut off communication between the two territories and provide support as needed.

At this time, in front of the silver light-filled entrance of the Grey Realm, the densely packed military warriors were ready.

Each team of the Lower Three Levels was equipped with Star Energy Weapons, which were potent enough to threaten even Shining Star Level enemies.

Near the passage, Qin Shang, Wu Shaoyang, and two other Major Generals waited as they discussed the details of what to do after entering.

After a while, a Lieutenant approached from the side and shouted, ”Report! The entrances at Zhengde City and Jiao Ning City are ready with Major General Qiu and Vice Admiral Liu at the standby!”

Major General Qiu is the one responsible for the intercutting and supporting in the middle.

Vice Admiral Liu is the general leading the attack on Lianqi Ridge.

Qin Shang said, ”Good! Then we’ll wait for the signal from the reconnaissance team inside the Grey Realm.”

Saying this, Qin Shang glanced at the time and took out a talisman.

Major Generals Tao and Li, who had come to support, also nodded and then focused on the silver-haired young man standing casually among the crowd with a Slime on his shoulder.

Because of Su Yuan’s Perfect Concealing Breath, under the effect of Complete Concealing Breath, at this moment he seemed no different from a regular person.

Yet, half a step behind Su Yuan, Qin Shang had specially arranged for a Colonel to follow, which indicated he was not an ordinary person.

”Vice Admiral Qin, that young man over there is...?” Major General Tao asked.

”You just arrived, I forgot to introduce. That is Su Yuan, the Imperial Envoy of the Sky Patrol Department, who happened to be in Guangchuan City, so we went out of our way to invite him,” Qin Shang smiled.

”Su Yuan of the Sky Patrol Department...” Tao and Li were slightly surprised, ”Is he the Su Yuan from the Earth Tribulation? He has actually advanced to Burning Sun!”

Qin Shang laughed, ”Yes, it’s him.”

Tao and Li, astonished, gave a distant military salute.

Su Yuan also cupped his hands in a slight gesture.

Not even ten minutes later, precisely at nine o’clock, the talisman in Qin Shang’s hand received a message.

The information was from the elite team that had infiltrated the Grey Realm beforehand for reconnaissance.

The timing, code, and content all matched the expectations, and Qin Shang’s eyes focused as he immediately shouted, ”Move out!”

The legion promptly moved, orderly entering the vast silver light at the entrance.

The swirling silver light surged, and all the troops that stepped into it quickly disappeared.

Qin Shang and the other three generals also entered the passage one after the other.

Colonel Shi Rulong beside Su Yuan said, ”Su Imperial Envoy, shall we go?”

”Alright.” Su Yuan stepped forward immediately and entered the Grey Realm passage.

The passage was incredibly long, and it was unknown how long it took before they reached the other end.

The scenery abruptly changed, with no sun, no moon, and the sky was grey, transitioning directly from a bustling city to an endless expanse of yellow sand and desert.

Although there is no sun, it’s not cold because the fire element here is quite intense.

”Is this the Grey Realm? It looks so desolate.”

”It should be the Sha Ze Domain like this. I heard that the other domains of the Grey Realm also have different terrains. The desert isn’t so bad; the Ice Plain Domain over in Yongzhou has even harsher conditions!”

”That’s true. At least we have space rings, so we won’t lack water...”

”...”

Not only Su Yuan, but most of the military warriors were also visiting the Grey Realm for the first time and were whispering among themselves.

Su Yuan activated the All-Knowing Vision to look ahead, but he didn’t see any star beasts in front.

”I wonder if it’s because this place is relatively remote, or if the star beasts near the passage have already been cleared.”

Su Yuan pondered as a scouting colonel ahead came swooping in from a distance, synchronizing the current intelligence of the Grey Realm with Qin Shang.

After Qin Shang and the others reviewed it, they discussed briefly and then led the various corps forward, seemingly moving smoothly.

After advancing fifty kilometers, the roaming star beasts began to increase rapidly!

Bronze, Silver, Gold... a large number of roaming low-level star beasts, and besides them, even Shining Star-level star beasts appeared from time to time.

The entire army naturally cleared out everywhere they went, killing their way forward.

”Seven or eight tribes on the front left, send the ninth and fourteenth corps to clear them.”

”In that corner, three Radiant Moon-level tribes are adjacent to each other with considerable strength. Have Major General Mo take three corps over there and make sure to capture them quickly!”

”...”

One directive after another issued from Qin Shang’s mouth, accurate and efficient.

The army orderly dispersed, crushing the tribes along the way as they charged towards Shake Territory...

The Grey Realm, Shake Territory.

In the huge territory, the majority of the buildings were low and wide yellow stone structures.

However, among the many low buildings, there stood tall grey-white stone pillars.

These pillars were inscribed with pitch-black runes, used to stabilize Earth Qi and gather Star Power.

Although these crude creations couldn’t match the East Continent’s precisely manufactured Pulse Stabilizing Pillars, their effect wasn’t too bad.

At least the gathered Star Power enticed more powerful solitary star beasts to join this territory.

For instance, now, a large number of humanoid star beasts resided in the central region of the territory.

And in the more outer areas, there were countless lower third-level star beasts yet to transform.

Inner circle, outer circle, clear hierarchy.

At this moment, on a certain high tower in the center of the territory, three people stood at the top.

A tall man with yellow hair, a young man with a sullen expression, and a short, rugged man with skin like rock.

These three were the three lords of Shake Territory.

In front of them, a gray-white strange plant grew, its top strangely holding a large eyeball.

The eyeball emitted a faint light, projecting images to the three lords.

The projection showed some Great Flame masters stealthily exploring the Grey Realm for intelligence.

Some were a bit further away, while others monitored the movements around Shake Territory closely.

Little did they know, they had all been exposed to the vision of Shake’s three lords.

At this time, the gray-white big eyeball blinked, and the projection changed to images of human armies.

The leading tall man with yellow hair spoke slowly: ”Eight Burning Suns, three heading to Lianqi, four are coming to my Shake, and one in the center providing support.”

The sullen young man sneered: ”Each place has more people than us, and one in the center to coordinate... seems like those human spies have sent back intelligence that we don’t have support.”

”Probably.” The tall man with yellow hair nodded.

The short man’s face showed a vicious smile: ”With the Royal Court Demon Plant here, those spies didn’t know they’ve been under our watch the whole time, these foolish humans!”

The tall young man with yellow hair issued a stern warning: ”Don’t be complacent! They just don’t understand us or the Royal Court sufficiently yet. This advantage won’t last long.

Casually dispatching eight Burning Suns, this human nation is stronger than we expected!

Moreover, according to the intelligence returned by people sent from the Royal Court, it’s a nation with an Emperor Level, likely the top power in this world.”

Upon hearing ’Emperor Level,’ the sullen young man and the short man also showed a change in expression.

”We can’t block them; Shake won’t be able to withstand it. Let’s follow the Royal Court’s instructions.” The tall young man with yellow hair finished speaking as a gray-white plant, thick enough for three to embrace, sprouted from the ground. It twisted slightly and split open in the middle to reveal a sizable cavity inside.

The tall man with yellow hair said to the sullen young man: ”Mamba, I leave this place to you.”

The sullen young man’s lips curled up: ”Don’t worry.”

The tall man with yellow hair nodded, then walked into the gray-white plant’s slit cavity with the short man.

Afterward, the cavity of the gray-white plant closed again, shrinking back into the ground, disappearing to an unknown location...
