High-Level Martial Era

The Rob Sea Star Realm is not particularly vast.

During the inquiry of the Seven Star Civilization, the largest explored range exceeded thirty thousand kilometers.

However, decades of relentless effort and massive resource investment have only led to the establishment of an outpost base within about three thousand kilometers of the star realm's entrance.

Further in? The Seven Star Civilization has only been able to dispatch small squads for exploration, struggling to establish a solid base.

The most significant reason for this is the obstruction of the Cloud Beast Civilization.

This foreign civilization, as one of the earliest to enter the Rob Sea Star Realm and the first to invest massive resources, built numerous mother nest lairs, enabling it to maintain a strong offensive against the Seven Star Civilization.

About eight thousand kilometers away from the Seven Star Civilization's nearest outpost base, there is a continuous mountain range.

Deep beneath the mountains, many large secret chambers are constructed, interconnected like a vast labyrinth.

Each chamber is endlessly bright, as if it were daylight, with occasionally massive exotic beasts patrolling.

In one of the super-large chambers, three massive exotic beasts each occupied one end: a colossal red flying serpent, a furry giant resembling a simian clad in thick armor, and a beast with tiger-like paws and a body covered in black scales.

The aura they exuded was exceptionally vigorous,

At the moment, in front of them, there was a massive holographic projection, displaying a shadowy figure shrouded in darkness.

Its true face was unclear, with even its background nearly nonexistent.

"You three, long time no see," the shadowy figure cackled with an eerie laugh.

"Black Mist, long time no see," the colossal blood-colored flying serpent spoke. As Sky-Flying Level Life, they were highly intelligent, and learning an alien race's language was effortless for them.

The three exotic beasts present are the Cloud Beast Civilization's three great leaders in the Rob Sea Star Realm, each possessing formidable combat strength.

As for the shadowy figure before them?

Its identity is even more special... it is the most highly positioned undercover agent that the Cloud Beast Civilization can secretly contact within the Seven Star Civilization.

All along, it has been relaying intelligence to them.

"Black Mist, you should have received the items we sent," the blood-colored flying serpent said softly, "based on our previous agreement, you should now provide us with information."

Neither side could truly trust the other, making transactions difficult.

Each transaction took a long time.

"Of course, I always keep my promises," the shadowy figure said, "this is Xia Country's current 'Troop Deployment Distribution Map'; it's already quite detailed... more details, I can't obtain since I'm not a commander."

Swiftly,

the shadowy figure passed the intelligence quickly to the Cloud Beast Civilization's three great leaders.

"The second piece of news, Lude Nef has been confirmed to have broken through," the shadowy figure said, "he has achieved the Sky-Flying Level... though this news hasn't spread."

"The third message, Yu Jinghe has been deeply trapped in Ming Mountain of the Mingxu Star Realm and should not be able to get out any time soon."

"The remaining group of Prime Warriors at Seven Star Mountain, who have grasped True Intent, are not that strong, posing little threat to you."

The three great beasts exchanged glances, a hint of relief flashing in their eyes.

This war they had instigated, their greatest concern were the powerful Prime Warriors of the Seven Star Civilization, whose strength was even greater than ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors... especially Lude Nef, who was practically a nightmare for the Cloud Beast Civilization.

Similarly,

in this past year, the Seven Star Civilization and the Tianliang Civilization have been contesting over the Mingxu Star Realm... Yu Jinghe has also emerged spectacularly, displaying increasingly terrifying power.

The two of them, both capable of confronting large groups of ordinary Flying Heaven Warriors.

But now, these two biggest threats, one has achieved a breakthrough and the other is trapped in the Mingxu Star Realm.

"Fine, that's all the intelligence," the shadowy figure said, "if you still can't win, don't blame me."

"Black Mist,"

the blood-red flying serpent, Wu Sihai, spoke deeply, "Our demigod has tasked me with delivering a message to you. If you are willing to take out Yu Jinghe or Li Yuan, we are prepared to offer treasures worth thirty thousand Seven Stars Points."

"Thirty thousand Seven Stars Points?" the shadowy figure laughed bizarrely, "Wu Sihai, are you looking down on me? Or are you underestimating Yu Jinghe and Li Yuan of my Seven Star Civilization?"

"Yu Jinghe is powerful; killing him would be difficult."

"As for Li Yuan? He's more mysterious; I can't even find where he is."

"Moreover, I only trade in intelligence; I never strike. But that's not to say I won't consider it... it's just a matter of price."

"How much do you want?" Wu Sihai with the blood-colored flying serpent's eyes lit up slightly.

"Treasures worth one million Seven Stars Points!"

The chamber suddenly fell silent.

"Hehe, don't blame me for not taking action; blame your poverty," the shadowy figure snickered, "I'm off, we'll contact again next time."

Boom~

The projection with the shadowy figure instantly vanished.

"Bastard! One million? How can he even ask for that!" the purple-furred simian burst into an angry roar, "A decent Semi Divine Artifact is often valued at about ten thousand Seven Stars Points."

"One million could almost exchange for a Divine Artifact," the purple simian growled.

"Zipa," Wu Sihai, the flying serpent, frowned and said, "He wasn't willing to take action in the first place, just throwing out absurd prices. These humans are all exceedingly cunning... They will only trade intelligence, they'll never truly risk their lives."

"Wu Sihai, what's your plan?" the black beast who had not spoken yet suddenly said.

"Three mother nest lairs, over the past two years, have bred a large number of exotic beasts, devouring and slaughtering each other; we have accumulated enough Second Rank exotic beasts," said Wu Sihai, the flying serpent, in a deep voice, "I have already ordered the three Great Mothers to initiate the first wave of attacks from the front lines."
