Each Star Emperor Token was imbued with the power of the Star Field Great Emperor, which when unleashed was capable of killing an Origin King Realm powerhouse.
Yang Kai was so shocked he was unable to speak.
βBack in this old masterβs era, someone used a Star Emperor Token to kill an Origin King Realm master.β
βCan this thing really kill an Origin King?β
βThatβs what the rumours say at least. This old master obviously never witnessed such a feat so I canβt say for certain. It may just be an exaggeration, but even if it is, the power it contains canβt be underestimated.Β After so many years though, most of the ten Star Emperor Tokens have probably been used, so guard this one carefully. If you ever encounter some kind of disaster you cannot handle, it may just save your life, but remember, each Star Emperor Token can only be used once!βΒ Gui Zu explained.
Yang Kai suddenly felt that this Star Emperor Token was an extremely heavy and hesitantly looked towards Gui Zu, βSenior, this token is so precious, why would you give it to me?β
Gui Zu grinned, βThis old master has no children or disciples; on top of that, with my current strength, there is no one in this Star Field who can threaten me, so what use would I have for it?Β If you donβt want it, just throw it away. Iβm sure those few over there will be more than happy enough to pick it up.
Saying so, he gestured towards Shen Tu and the others who were observing from a thousand meters away.
Yang Kai decisively stuffed the Star Emperor Token into the Demon Mystic Tome and hid it in the deepest corner he could find!
Gui Zu saw this and nodded with satisfaction, βVery good, en, do you want this old master to take you out of here?β
βNo, I can find the direction to leave,β Yang Kai declined.
Gui Zu didnβt insist, grinning as he said, βFine, live well. This old master will head out first.β
Saying so, Gui Zu transformed into a dark cloud and quickly flew off.
Staring in the direction he left, Yang Kai wore a frown for a moment before shaking his head and chuckling before turning back towards Shen Tu and the others.
The five others had been waiting quietly.Β Shen Tu and Yue Xi, who had been targeted by Gui Zu, still had some lingering fear on their faces as just thinking about the old monsterβs mysterious means made a chill run up their backs.
βBrother Yangβ¦ Did he leave?βΒ Shen Tu asked nervously.
βEn, he left!β Yang Kai nodded.
βHe really just left?βΒ Shen Tu was amazed. A moment ago, when Gui Zu suddenly flew over to Yang Kai, all of them had thought there would be no escaping, but never had then anticipated that after a quick chat, Gui Zu would actually leisurely depart.
This was really too unexpected.
βHeβs really gone,β Yang Kai repeated, βYou donβt have to be so nervous.Β In fact, heβs not all that bad, just a bit short-tempered.β
Hearing Yang Kaiβs reassurances, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
βMasters like himβ¦β Yue Xi smiled bitterly, βThey essentially donβt care whether people like us live or die.β
βBrother Yang, what did he say to you just now, it almost looked like you were having a pleasant chat,βΒ Shen Tu asked curiously.
βNothing much, he thanked me, then reprimanding meβ¦β Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders, making up a story on the spot. He firmly believed that what he and Gui Zu had just talked about wasnβt known by these few.
The fact that the Star Emperor Token had fallen into his hands was something he obviously couldnβt tell them.
The value of this token was simply too great; once news of its existence leaked out, it would surely stir up a storm of trouble.
Scanning his surroundings for a moment, Yang Kai said, βLetβs go, we should leave this place too.β
After he said this though, everyone looked at him bitterly, with none of them moving.
βLeave here? How?Β Weβre still inside the Chaotic Abyss and neither our Sword Unionβs Chart Master or Purple Starβs Chart Master are here,β Yue Xi smiled bitterly.
Bi Ya quickly inspected her Star Shuttle and shook her head, βMy Star Chart has also been damaged and canβt be used. Without a proper Star Chart, we wonβt be able to find the way out.β
The joy of just escaping from the floating continent was once again replaced by despair as an ugly look appeared on everyoneβs face.
βOh, not a problem. Senior Gui Zu gave me some directions a moment ago, just follow me,β Yang Kai said lightly.
A bunch of surprised eyes instantly stared towards him.
Shen Tu asking doubtfully, βBrother Yang, you mean that Gui Zu not only didnβt kill you, keeping his word, but even kindly gave you directions?β
βEn,β Yang Kai nodded shamelessly.
βHuh?Β How did he suddenly become so cordial?βΒ Shen Tu still couldnβt believe it, βIt doesnβt make any sense.β
βWell, itβs the truth.Β Letβs go!β Yang Kai summoned his Star Shuttle which Shen Tu jumped up onto unceremoniously with a smile on his face, βBrother Yang, Iβll have to rely on you, I have no artifacts on me.β
βNot a problem.β
The group of six people, riding four Star Shuttles, flew out as swift as the wind across the Chaotic Abyss.
Yang Kai, while leading the way, immersed his consciousness into his Knowledge Sea to spy on the vast Star Chart above it to confirm their position.
Doing so, he quickly realized the preciousness of this Star Chart.
Because by using this Star Chart, he could easily find his current location and accurately plot a course to leave the Chaotic Abyss without suffering even the slightest interference from the chaotic flow of energy of this place.
Yang Kai wasnβt sure where Purple Starβs Chart Master Wu Suo had obtained this magical treasure but now it was owned by him.
He was even somewhat grateful to Wu Suo, because if the latter hadnβt died so close to him, he wouldnβt have been able to obtain this Star Chart and gain knowledge of all the dangers and wonders throughout the Star Field.
With such a Star Chart, Yang Kai could freely go anywhere he wanted to.
Time passed by, and with the exception of Shen Tu, who kept chattering on endlessly, everyone else stayed relatively quiet.Β Bi Ya would occasionally say a few words to Shen Tu, but when she discovered that he would go on and on without end, she quickly began ignoring him.
After experiencing this series of hardships together, the other five in the group had unconsciously regarded Yang Kai as their hope and leader, choosing to believe in his decisions without any objections.
Following Yang Kai, they flew through the Chaotic Abyss for two months.
On this day, a different type of scenery finally appeared before them.
It was a dense Asteroid Sea, with countless large and small asteroids seemingly blotting out the Starry Sky, each of them rapidly flying about under the influence of some inexplicable force.Β This Asteroid Sea was so vast that it was impossible to see where it began or ended.
Upon seeing this giant Asteroid Sea, everyoneβs eyes couldnβt help lighting up.
βWe can leave!βΒ Shen Tu shouted, βHaha, we can finally leave this forsaken place!β
βHow do you know?β Yang Kai asked curiously.
βThe periphery of the Chaotic Abyss is surrounded by a giant Asteroid Sea, everyone knows this,β Shen Tu replied.
Yang Kai glanced around and saw everyone nodding in agreement.
βSeems Iβm the only one whoβs ignorant,β Yang Kai rubbed his nose.
Shen Tu laughed, patting Yang Kaiβs shoulder in a friendly manner, βThe place you came from is isolated after allβ¦Β En, you can slowly learn such things from now on. Fuck, Iβll never come anywhere near the Chaotic Abyss again in my life, this place is really just filled with disaster.β
βHow did a young master from Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce get caught by Lu Gui Chen in the first place?Β Where were your guards?β Yue Xi suddenly asked.
βA young master from Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce?βΒ Bi Ya covered her red lips and exclaimed, her beautiful eyes flashing a strange light as she stared towards Shen Tu.
Shen Tu gawked towards Yue Xi for a moment before grinning, βWhen did you see through my identity?β
βI didnβt, but I had my suspicions.Β Back on that floating continent, your urged Yang Kai to deliver a message to Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, and your appearanceβ¦ Itβs somewhat similar to a great man I once saw many years ago, en, that Senior was named Ai Ou!βΒ Yue Xi said solemnly.
βAi Ou?Β Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce President Ai Ou?βΒ Bi Ya called out in alarm this time as she stared at Shen Tuβs incredulously.
Even He Zao and He Miao couldnβt help trembling in shock, neither of them having imagined that Shen Tu had such a profound background.
Listening to this conversation, Yang Kai suddenly understood what kind of great family Shen Tu came from.
From what he had learned from Shen Tu, Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce was one of the Star Fieldβs super forces, on the same level as Purple Star and Sword Union; however, unlike Purple Star and Sword Union, they were mainly focused on business, hence their title as a Chamber of Commerce.Β Their influence had proliferated throughout the entire Star Field and had ties to all its important forces.
Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce occupied the stars with the most abundant resources in the Star Field, and could thus provide a lot of rare supplies to these forces, for a price.
βYouβre the son of President Ai Ou?βΒ Bi Ya stared at Shen Tu with amazement, βHow come Iβve never heard of you before?β
βIβm an illegitimate child. My name hasnβt been publicly announced,β Shen Tu grinned meaningfully, βYou never having heard of me is natural.β
Yue Xi couldnβt help coughing, her expression becoming slightly unnatural, βThere are rumours that President Ai Ou was once quite loose and created a number of emotional debts outside in his youthβ¦β
Bi Ya smiled bitterly, βIf you have such an identity, why didnβt you say anything to Senior Lu at the time?Β If he knew who you were, he would have rushed to receive you as a guest, how could he have thrown you into the Starshipβs power room?β
At the mention of Lu Gui Chen, Shen Tu gnashed his teeth and grumbled, βI did tell him, but he didnβt believe me. If it wasnβt for Brother Yangβs timely help, Iβm afraid I would already died back in your Purple Star Starship.β
Everyoneβs expression became awkward, but after thinking about it for a moment, they understood why Lu Gui Chen wouldnβt believe Shen Tuβs words.
President Ai Ou was a famous man who had several sons, a number of whom were not known to the public, so if an unnamed youth suddenly claimed to be one of them, it was likely no one would believe him and would instead think he was just trying to borrow an identity to increase his status.
βYour luck is really terrible,β Yang Kai looked at him sympathetically.
βWhat else could I have done?βΒ Shen Tu said indignantly, βIf this was really where I had died, it would have been too much of a tragedy!β
Seeing him grumble like this, He Miao couldnβt help but giggle.
The group of six soon dove into the boundless Asteroid Sea, and after a few days, emerged on the other side.
The sights in front of them also changed, there were now many more stars, some of them giving off great amounts of heat, some of them cold like ice, still others brimming with vitality while a large number of them were completely desolate.
βWeβre out!βΒ Shen Tu shouted joyfully.
