Chapter 1205: Shadows of the Holy Gate

"The Pleiades Star System is very powerful. I’ve heard that before the alien invasion, the Pleiades Star System even attempted to annex other star systems. They once sent a large army to pressure nearby star systems. If the Erythar Star System hadn’t been on the edge of the nine major star systems, far away from them, we might have been swallowed up by the Pleiades Star System long ago," Rafael said with a grin.

Sharif wasn’t embarrassed at all as he spoke, "Indeed, the Pleiades Star System is quite powerful. After the alien invasion, their plan fell apart. If they weren’t strong, they wouldn’t have been able to force the aliens to cease fighting."

He continued, "The aliens are high-dimensional beings from a far superior civilization, and the Pleiades Star System relies heavily on the cultivation organizations."

Upon hearing the mention of cultivation organizations, Amalia and Kenny Lin’s expressions subtly changed.

Cultivation organizations?

Could it be the mysterious Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth?

"There are several cultivation organizations in the Pleiades Star System," Rafael immediately clarified, without naming them directly, as if speaking to himself.

Kenny Lin gave him a slightly amused glance, almost impressed by his subtlety.

Seeing Kenny Lin looking at him, Rafael quickly responded with a smile that was flattering but not overly obsequious.

Others, especially Shao Jing, immediately realized that Rafael had managed to form a connection with the two of them.

"Minister Sharif, since the Pleiades Star System hasn’t provided a clearer reason, we’ll wait for further communication," Amalia decided, though she had already made up her mind to go to the Pleiades Star System.

She didn’t immediately give her answer verbally.

"Rest assured, Ms. Amalia, we are already handling this matter. Also, there’s another update. Someone from the Pleiades Star System has already been sent and should be on their way. They should arrive in a few days," Sharif nodded and said.

"Impressive! The Pleiades Star System is so far away, and they can just send someone over so easily," Rafael clicked his tongue.

The royal family merely provided them with this information; the decision to go to the Pleiades Star System was entirely up to them.

Once the meeting was over, the others left, but Amalia and Kenny Lin stayed behind.

The Emperor and Minister Sharif showed no surprise at this.

"It seems like the two of you wish to ask about the Vanquez family," Sharif, knowing that they preferred straightforwardness, spoke directly.

Amalia smiled slightly. "Indeed, Minister Sharif, do you know about the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth?"

A trace of surprise flashed in the Emperor’s eyes.

"We know. The Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth is a big cultivation organization. They have influence in the Erythar Star System as well, but they are very secretive, and very few people can track their movements unless they intentionally leave traces," Sharif responded.

Sharif hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "When the Vanquez family was wiped out, we actually found some clues. There were rumors suggesting that the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth might have been involved with it, but because there was no solid evidence, we couldn’t locate them."

"Even the power of the Draconis Empire couldn’t find a single trace of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth?" Amalia pondered.

"Ms. Amalia, what you don’t know is that the Erythar Star System is not the main area of activity for the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth. Their main purpose in the Erythar Star System is likely to gather resources," Sharif explained.

The Emperor added, "What Ms. Amalia may not know is that many years ago, a member of our royal family came into contact with them. The members of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth are unpredictable, acting according to their whims. They are willing to go to any lengths to achieve their goals, and they don’t fear the royal family. Their actions are very erratic. There was once a prince of high rank within the royal family who was crippled by them."

This prince was a cultivator, with a relatively high cultivation level, and was well-respected within the royal family.

However, due to a comment made by a royal prince that offended the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth, revealing that his grandfather was a powerful cultivator, the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth member infiltrated the royal palace one night.

Without alerting anyone, they crippled the prince.

The Draconis royal family dared not release this information, initially intending to conceal it.

However, the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth member recorded a video and uploaded it to the star network, making the whole incident public as a sort of twisted amusement.

The royal family’s prestige nearly collapsed, and certain factions, previously suppressed by the royal family, attempted to rebel, almost overthrowing the Draconis Empire.

If it had been a careless remark made by a young royal, insulting the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth, they might have accepted it.

But it wasn’t.

Although the royal family was furious, they had no choice but to accept the situation.

The Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth member infiltrated the royal palace and quietly crippled a powerful prince.

If they had gone all out to confront him, the royal family could have been destroyed.

Since then, the name of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth became a taboo topic that could not be mentioned within the Draconis Empire royal family.

"The members of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth are elusive, no one can track their movements, but whenever they appear, it is either to kill or to gather resources," Sharif continued.

"What resources are there to collect in the Erythar Star System?" Amalia asked.

"There are some primitive planets with very dense spiritual energy, and there’s a certain chance they could give rise to a large energy stone vein," a middle-aged cultivator from the royal family replied.

The royal family now had only three cultivators left.
