The virtual universe.
There was a huge city in the middle of the Great Qian Mainland, known as Great Qian Sacred City. It was majestic and grand.
This was called the sacred city to differentiate it from Great Qian City in the real world. Almost all the powerful factions had bought properties here.
Yes, they bought it even though it was in the virtual world.
It was better not to look down on these virtual properties. They weren’t cheap. Normal people couldn’t afford them. Also, they might not have the right to buy them.
Of course, with Wang Teng’s noble status, he could buy a property here.
Why did he buy one?
This was a face value issue.
Imagine a noble having to start from the initial entrance every time he entered the virtual universe. He wouldn’t have a place to hold a meeting if he needed to. Wasn’t that awkward?
In Great Qian Sacred City, there was a huge patch of land covered by castle-like structures.
This was the land of the Parkers family!
A few familiar faces were present in a hall within these castle-like structures.
Two elderly figures sat at the front of the hall. They were the Furious Flaming Universe Lord and the Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord.
Andrais, Sinclamon, Valteru, and many others were standing below them. They didn’t make a peep.
After some time, a lofty figure abruptly appeared in the hall.
Cao Hongtu!
The person who appeared was Cao Hongtu!
“Universe lords.” Cao Hongtu immediately bowed and greeted the two universe lords above respectfully.
The Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord nodded.
“How is it?” the Furious Flaming Universe Lord asked.
“I have formed a collaboration with the Olant Federation. They will send a heaven-stage martial warrior to capture Wang Teng’s family members. They should be back soon. We have set up a trap with the other two heaven-stage martial warriors from the Olant Federation. Wang Teng won’t be able to escape,” Cao Hongtu replied. A sinister gaze flashed past his eyes.
“Four heaven-stage martial warriors. It should be enough. Since that brat has left Earth, the Cavendish and the Ji families won’t be able to help him,” the Furious Flaming Universe Lord said.
Valteru and Sinclamon were elated.
“That brat thinks that he can fight with us just because he’s a triple-field grandmaster of the Secondary Career Alliance. How naive.” Sinclamon snorted.
“We must use his blood to wash the humiliation the Parkers suffered,” Valteru said coldly.
“The Parkers will give you what you deserve once this issue is settled. We might be able to help you get back your baron’s status,” the Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord said.
“Yes!” Cao Hongtu was beaming with joy. He quickly bowed. Then, he hesitated.
“What’s the matter?” the Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord asked.
“The three heaven-stage martial warriors from the Olant Federation have a request,” Cao Hongtu said.
“What request?” the Furious Flaming Universe Lord asked.
“They want some cultivation resources,” Cao Hongtu briefly explained their request to the other party.
“That’s easy. It’s just some resources. We can give them.” The Furious Flaming Universe Lord shook his head and closed his eyes. He was too lazy to bother about this issue.
“As expected of a low-tier civilization. They’re so petty. Do they think that the Parkers will lie to them?” Sinclamon said contemptuously.
“Tell them that they will get their share after the issue is settled,” Valteru said.
“Go ahead.” The Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord closed his eyes and ordered Cao Hongtu to leave.
“I’ll make a move first.” Cao Hongtu nodded and left.
“Cao Hongtu is desperate.” Sinclamon smiled as he stared at Cao Hongtu’s back.
“He’s willing to do anything for the baron status. His daughter is still in Wang Teng’s hands. but he doesn’t care anymore.” Valteru smiled with disdain. “He’s just a dog of us Parkers.”
“On the other hand, Wang Teng has been jumping around for too long.” Sinclamon’s expression turned ugly when he mentioned the name.
“Hmph, if Grand Duke Chongshan hadn’t carved the Law of Cause and Effect on that brat so that the elders in our family can’t touch him, things wouldn’t be so troublesome,” Valteru said helplessly.
The people in the hall turned silent. They seemed a little fearful. No sounds were heard thereafter.
…
The Olant Planet.
Cao Hongtu opened his eyes in a large hall. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
In front of the hall, two heaven-stage martial warriors with powerful auras were sitting on their thrones. Their gazes were sharp too as they blinked and opened their eyes.
One of them was muscular and lofty. He was three meters tall, and his limbs were exceptionally bulky and thick. There were two sharp horns growing on his head, giving him a scary appearance.
The other was only slightly taller than a normal Earthling. He had pale green skin and slightly sharp ears. His face was filled with wrinkles, but they didn’t seem to be a sign of aging. He was born like that.
“Brother Caso.” A loud voice came from the heaven-stage martial warrior with horns on his head.
“Thanks for waiting so long.” Cao Hongtu smiled and continued, “I’ve already contacted the two universe-stage martial warriors. They have agreed to give you enough resources once you complete the task.”
Joy appeared in their eyes. It was almost unnoticeable. They exchanged glances with each other and silently shifted their gazes away.
