Chapter 944: Chapter 812: Courting Death

Jia Shuqing doesn’t have many relatives in the Hope Star Realm, and as a prodigy, she doesn’t stay close to them.

It’s not that she is cold-hearted; it’s just... ordinary people’s lifespan is only 150 years.

The first generation she had ties with has passed away, the second, even third generations have gone, how much connection can remain?

Only Zi Jiu Immortal is an exception, for she was truly worth cultivating, and Granny Jia even killed her husband.

However, even at that, Professor Zi didn’t know that the gatekeeper of the Old Town Library was her great-grandmother.

The senior officials of the Central Government and the Military know this secret, but trying to capture her for interrogation... is extremely difficult.

”She is a professor at Green Water Academy, not to mention her esteemed status; the key is the Guardian Supreme also protects her fiercely!”

The social status of university professors is indeed high, and their influence is widespread.

”We’ve already investigated her relationship with Panda before... is it appropriate to investigate again now?”

After much discussion, the military decided not to take action against Zi Jiu Immortal for now.

To show they weren’t inactive, the discussion process was recorded and sent to the Star No. 3 Military Region.

However, more than an hour later, a communication was received, ”I am Mars, about to arrive at Star No. 2...”

Mars is also a military Supreme, with a Poison Attribute, and the Poison Attribute A-level killed by the Paranoid was his most favored person.

Their relationship wasn’t officially that of master and disciple, but judging from the Awakening attribute, it is clear their relationship couldn’t be bad.

Among the military’s Supremes, he most strongly demanded revenge, and the reason he didn’t participate in the initial searches was the military ban on his deployment.

The Poison Attribute Supreme is a treasure in any military region, and it is no exaggeration to say they are strategic-level weapons, not to be lost.

Moreover, once such an attribute’s Awakener loses control, it can easily cause devastating damage to society, so the military manages them strictly.

After news of the Supreme being ambushed at Star No. 2 came, he strongly requested to go there.

This time, the military couldn’t stop him anymore, and after such a major event, the military also needed to regain face.

Mars told Star No. 2, I have completed the leap and will arrive in about ten hours.

He strongly advised the military to keep a close watch on Zi Jiu Immortal, ”...don’t let her escape, if conditions permit, seize her now!”

Star No. 2 expressed that it’s not that they don’t agree, it’s that the conditions indeed don’t permit, and they listed out the reasons.

”Green Water Academy’s Guardian Supreme?” Mars snorted derisively, ”Once I land, I will persuade him!”

What he certainly meant was physical persuasion, knowing that he doesn’t regard Jia Shuqing highly, let alone others?

However, he also knew that his comrades on the other side were scared and he didn’t force them to act immediately.

”Just keep an eye on the person, once I land, I’ll handle it!”

”No Supreme assistance? That’s alright. Just prepare the warship... I don’t really believe anyone would dare resist the fleet!”

He arranged things confidently, but the people at Star No. 2 couldn’t possibly follow all his arrangements, and they contacted the Star No. 3 Military Region.

Star No. 3 out there stated that Mars fully embodies the military region’s will, and you just need to cooperate with his decisions.

Star No. 2 worried about the insufficient number of Supremes, but Star No. 3 responded—actually, the Divine Text Association is currently mobilizing Supremes.

When the Supremes will arrive is uncertain, but before they do, it’s okay to have the military region help protect for a while.

This means that Mars wasn’t just recklessly angry, but he had a clear plan and expectations.

After capturing Zi Jiu Immortal, relying on military strength for defense until the Divine Text Association’s reinforcements arrive.

Having heard this explanation, Star No. 2 couldn’t refuse either—Mars essentially bore all the risks.

As for their request for military region protection... it’s truly a legitimate demand, after all, the military is family.

The Supremes don’t feel that hiding in the military region is shameful, what can they possibly say?

At the same time, Granny Jia was talking with Qu Jianlei using a Pioneer Terminal.

”I’ve inquired about the Omen Ship, it’s not as you said, the subsequent bad omens were man-made...”

Speaking of which, it’s again all those troublesome matters, due to various interests, this starship was labeled.

Qu Jianlei understands the situation, but to say he can accept it calmly, he couldn’t—at least it’s not auspicious!

However, Granny Jia expressed, ”If you still have concerns, all I can say is, I’m going to take this starship too!”

”Alright,” Qu Jianlei thought this reason is quite strong, ”I think it’s about time, shall we meet and then leave?”

”Sure,” Granny Jia responded promptly, ”Are you planning to give the Star No. 2 Military Region a hard time again?”

”I haven’t thought it through yet,” Qu Jianlei stopped abruptly halfway through, ”Something came up... let’s meet first!”

During their chat, Big Head Butterfly obtained highly classified information on Star No. 2’s military network.

Generally speaking, Qu Jianlei doesn’t want Little Lake to take risks—this is the only companion from Blue Star.

However, they stayed at Star No. 2 a bit longer previously and even cultivated for some time.

Other than making various calculations, Little Lake also cautiously infiltrated the military network and left a backdoor.

In the end, just making calculations was quite boring for it, so it infiltrated bit by bit without worrying about exposure.

On other habitable stars in the Hope Star Realm, it had never done anything like this before.

Then it accidentally discovered that the Supreme Mars of the military was about to arrive at Star No. 2.

”Are there really people this stubborn?” Qu Jianlei initially couldn’t believe it. Can’t these oblivious creatures be defeated?

But after sorting out the logic, he snorted coldly, ”Looks like there’s no need to detonate the military’s explosives.”

That night, a little after eight, Mars’s vehicle descended at the Star Port.

By normal logic, since he is a military big shot, he should have arrived on a warship, landing in a military port.

However, the military on Star No. 3 thought the comrades on Star No. 2 were somewhat unreliable—primarily because Jia Shuqing had been there too long.

So Mars arrived on an armed merchant ship, landing in a civilian star port.

This starship was actually the military’s; it just looked civilian—Star No. 3’s military had no shortage of similar starships.

As the starship landed, on a starship called the ”Omen Ship,” someone had already boarded and requested takeoff.

After Mars landed, he walked out of the Star Port with a dozen people who looked like guards.

These so-called guards were, of course, soldiers. Everyone understood their duties and didn’t behave out of line.

However, soldiers are still soldiers, with a disposition and actions noticeably distinct from civilians, which drew some attention.

Mars also sensed something was off, but he didn’t mind—it was already quite low-key, wasn’t it?

”Hurry and contact the pickup car, don’t let anyone notice... let’s also try to catch the opponent off guard.”

He carefully analyzed the encounter when his people were attacked; there was no obvious mistake in their response.

It’s nothing more than having foresight versus not, as if others wouldn’t be capable—it’s only fair to let the other party taste this as well.

Though Granny Jia had significant influence on Star No. 2, was the military any less?

There were four pickup vehicles in total: three were large SUVs, and one was an RV, looking very ordinary.

However, these vehicles were bulletproof, and in the distance, a container truck was parked.

The container truck... obviously wasn’t as simple as it looked, containing not only military warriors but also heavy firepower.

Just as Mars was approaching an SUV, a sudden change occurred.

For some unknown reason, everyone just felt a violent jolt as they involuntarily fell toward the ground.

”It’s a Gravity Technique!” Mars instantly realized, shouting directly, ”Arm yourselves, prepare for battle!”

Poison Attribute armor wasn’t worth mentioning, yet he had also mastered Wood Armor.

The Empire always had a rumor that Poison Attribute was a mutation of Wood Attribute, but many did not accept it, considering it unofficial recognition.

Mars did not agree either, but that didn’t prevent him from mastering Wood Armor.

The Panda team had a Wood Attribute exclusive poison, but he didn’t care much since his Wood Attribute affinity wasn’t strong.

More crucially, as someone who played with poison, while he couldn’t say he’d cracked this poison, it couldn’t defeat him.

If he weren’t confident in this, where would he dare to volunteer to come to Star No. 2?

In the next moment, a lightning bolt as thick as a wrist descended from the sky, striking him squarely.

”Damn...” Mars gritted his teeth, shaking all over twice, but a grim smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, ”Just so-so!”

He already knew there was a Supreme with Electromagnetic Attribute in the Panda team, so how could he be unprepared?

The effectiveness of the armor was decent; though it didn’t fully isolate the lightning, the harm it caused was negligible.

He was about to issue orders when his brow furrowed slightly, ”Damn... again?”

The next instant, another bolt of lightning struck, roughly as powerful as the last—approximately just a Supreme Level attack.

There were actually two Supremes with Electromagnetic Attributes... Mars was slightly alarmed; this organization was quite formidable.

Rushed, he couldn’t accurately assess the opponent’s technique power, but it was along those lines.

But even if there was one Supreme and one A-level pinnacle, such two Electromagnetic Attributes were not easily recruited by ordinary organizations.

Fortunately, he had made similar preparations before coming, finally with no danger to bear.

However, before he had time to catch his breath, another bolt of lightning appeared, as thick as a bowl’s mouth, imposing.

The power of Electromagnetic Technique involves purity, affinity, and other factors, not just thickness, but this indeed highlighted an issue.

”Again... again?” Mars’s expression finally changed; he had a feeling: this time, it was bad!

Before coming, he had meticulously analyzed.

Based on the Panda team’s known past battle records, it was highly likely the organization had two High Tier Electromagnetic Awakened ones.
