Chapter 288 The Emperor of Heaven summons, and all treasures tremble
The Black Prison Venerable took the jade slip and probed it with his spiritual sense. Seeing Ying Zheng's indifferent eyes, he couldn't help but gasp. He had roamed the heavens for many years and met countless geniuses and giants, but he had never seen such a pure and domineering sense of order.
This power is not like Taoism or supernatural power, but it is more frightening than any other power.
"So what should we do now?" Black Prison Venerable asked in a deep voice. "Should we attack directly? With our cultivation, crushing their fleet would be a piece of cake."
"No," Wanbao Daojun immediately rejected it. "Don't you see? They're just forcing us to take action. They killed our people, occupied the shipping lanes, and now they're asserting their authority at the gates of Wanbao Star. Every step they take is a test, every step a provocation. They want to see just how strong the 'iron wall' of Wanbao Star Region is."
He paused, his gaze gazing into the depths of the distant starry sky. "Furthermore, I have a feeling this fleet is just the tip of the iceberg. The empire called 'Daqin', the Celestial Emperor called 'Ying Zheng', the shock he has brought to the heavens and myriad worlds has probably only just begun."
"If we act rashly, we might alert the enemy and reveal their true nature, or we might be used by other Class A forces to accuse Wanbaolou of bullying 'newcomers' and being unfair. That would be more harm than good."
"Then what do you mean?"
"Wait." Wanbao Daojun uttered a single word, "Wait until they enter Wanbao Star, wait until they come into contact with more forces, wait until they make their conflicts completely public. At the same time, report this matter to the 'Class A Council'. The affairs of the heavens and myriad worlds must ultimately be resolved by all of them together. We at Wanbao Tower only do business, not politics. Unless... they dare to destroy my place."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the Black Prison Master's eyes, and he said no more. He understood that the Wanbao Daojun's decision was the safest.
These old monsters who have lived for countless years are best at forbearance and planning. Instead of being the villain themselves, it is better to muddy the waters and let everyone jump in.
……
Marlboro, East District Helipad No. 3.
The Qin fleet, like a group of silent steel behemoths, slowly landed on the huge platform.
The platform is made of a precious material called "Star God Gold". It is extremely hard and can withstand the impact of the landing of any large warship.
However, the moment the hull of the "Empty Universe Boat" touched the platform, there was a crisp "click" sound, and the so-called indestructible Star God Gold platform was actually pressed to form spider-web-like cracks!
The entire helipad staff was terrified. This was Star Divine Crystal! Every inch was worth a fortune, and repairing it would be a monumental expense. Those damned "Tari" people, what on earth were their ships made of?!
Meng Tian led a team of black-armored soldiers out of the cabin.
Their steps were in unison, resounding and powerful. Every step they took seemed to carry a tremendous force, causing the already cracked platform to tremble even more.
The receptionist was a Wanbaolou steward named "Jia Si." He was a shrewd businessman with extensive experience, but even at this moment, sweat was beading on his forehead.
He had personally witnessed the destruction of the Burning Heaven Merchant Alliance checkpoint and heard about the tragedy in the square. Facing these evil spirits, he dared not neglect them in the slightest.
"Your distinguished guest has come from afar, and I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you in person." Jas smiled and bowed deeply, keeping a very humble attitude.
Meng Tian didn't even glance at him, but coldly handed over a jade slip: "The Emperor of the Great Qin has decreed that the Master of the Wanbao Tower come to see him."
The smile on Jas's face froze instantly.
Summon the owner of Wanbao Tower to meet you?
He thought he had misheard. In the entire Wanbao Star Region, or even in the tens of thousands of surrounding star regions, who would dare to use the word "xuan" to speak to Wanbao Daojun?
Even those Class A giants would only address each other with "please" or "invite". The word "proclaim" represents the hierarchy, the naked difference between the monarch and his subjects!
This... this is simply arrogant to the extreme!
"This... General," Jas forced a smile. "My master is very busy, ruling the Wanbao Star Region. He cannot meet with anyone other than an important person. I wonder what your needs are. Could you please let me know first? I will make every effort to arrange it for you."
Meng Tian frowned, a murderous look flashing in his eyes: "Are you disobeying the order?"
That icy tone made Jas feel like he was falling into an icy cave, and his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat. He seemed to see that in the next second, his fate would be the same as that of the deacon of the Burning Sky Merchant Alliance.
"No, no, no! I dare not!" Jas waved his hands hurriedly, almost kneeling on the ground, "I will report it right away! I will report it right away! General, please be patient!"
After saying that, he rolled and crawled towards the communication formation beside him, looking very embarrassed.
Meng Tian withdrew his gaze and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Set up camp here and establish a temporary headquarters. No one is allowed to enter without my permission."
"promise!"
The black-armored soldiers immediately took action. They unloaded a large number of prefabricated components from the ship and began to build them at an astonishing speed.
These components were all engraved with intricate runes, and they seemed to be connected to each other automatically. In just a stick of incense, a majestic and solemn black military tent in the style of the Qin Dynasty rose from the ground.
In front of the military tent, a huge flagpole was erected, and the dark golden dragon flag fluttered in the wind again, turning the entire apron No. 3 into the temporary territory of the Qin Dynasty.
The forces on the surrounding helipads all craned their necks to watch this incredible scene, their eyes filled with shock, curiosity, and a hint of schadenfreude.
"These lunatics, do they really dare to set up camp on Wanbao Star's territory?"
"They also summoned Wanbao Daojun to an audience? Haha, I want to see if Wanbao Daojun will pay attention to them."
"Just wait and see. The wrath of Wanbaolou is not so easy to bear. They are courting their own destruction."
