Chapter 1232: The Crimson Moon Palace

That’s right—the first meeting was to be held in the form of a banquet.

Everyone boarded the vehicles one after another.

But when it was Amalia’s turn, they were suddenly stopped.

"The vehicle is already full. The remaining individuals will have to wait for the next one."

Minister Sharif and General Rafiq, who had already gotten on board, turned their heads and glanced at the soldier blocking Amalia and the others.

"In that case, we’ll wait for the next one with them," the two said as they prepared to step down.

The soldier at the door instinctively reached out to stop them, but his body suddenly trembled, cold sweat breaking out all over him.

By the time the discomfort faded, Minister Sharif and the others had already stepped off.

"What’s going on?" At that moment, the soldiers’ superior officer arrived.

"Sir, they..." The soldier briefly explained the situation, casting an unfriendly glance at them.

The officer frowned, glancing at the lazily standing Kenny Lin and the composed Amalia. "Then let them take the next vehicle."

"Darling, do you know the only thing I’ve felt since arriving in the Pleiades Star System?" Kenny Lin suddenly asked Amalia.

Playing along, Amalia asked, "What?"

"The entire Pleiades Star System reeks of pettiness. You’d think it’s a major power, yet it constantly plays small tricks. It has none of the bearing of a true empire. A country like this is doomed sooner or later."

The officer’s footsteps paused.

He turned back to glare at Kenny Lin, his gaze dark and menacing.

"I hate it the most when people look at me like that."

Kenny Lin’s expression lost all traces of amusement.

The officer suddenly felt his eyes sting sharply.

His heart clenched, and he instinctively averted his gaze.

Instantly, his vision blurred, and it took a while before he could see clearly again.

A lingering fear crept into his heart.

He was fortunate he hadn’t actually provoked the other party.

Now he understood why higher-ups had told him to pay special attention to this people.

Before long, the second vehicle arrived, and the members of the Erythar Star System finally all boarded the same transport.

Other star systems weren’t so lucky—they were split into separate vehicles.

But unlike the Erythar Star System, they lacked the confidence to resist and could only accept it in silence.

The embassy was located near the outskirts of the city, several hundred miles away from the royal palace.

Planet Omicron by day presented a stark contrast to its nighttime splendor.

While it lacked the dazzling lights of the night, it radiated an imposing grandeur.

Amalia felt that Kenny Lin’s words weren’t wrong—a great nation should carry itself with dignity.

But Crimson Moon Dynasty clearly fell short.

If the royal palace was the same, it would be quite disappointing.

The Crimson Moon Dynasty hadn’t always been like this.

In the past, while they looked down on other star systems, they rarely showed it so blatantly.

But ever since the alien invasion and their eventual ceasefire agreement with the aliens, they had grown arrogant.

They believed the gap between them and the other star systems was widening, and that in the next great war against the aliens, the other star systems would have no choice but to rely on them.

Of course, it was possible that the Crimson Moon Dynasty had already formed alliances with other powerful star systems.

But even if that were the case, it wasn’t enough of a bargaining chip.

Which meant that the Pleiades Star System is likely had something else up its sleeve—something that gave them their true sense of confidence.

From far away, everyone finally caught sight of the palace of the Crimson Moon Dynasty.

The towering palace, standing beneath the vast void, was primarily adorned in white and gold.

It exuded a sense of majesty, yet carried an air of solemn divinity.

The security was extremely tight.

Whether it was due to today being a special occasion or if this was the norm, the palace was surrounded layer upon layer, as if encased in an impenetrable fortress.

Outside, the human walls were formed and creating an unbreakable barrier.

"These guards... they’re all cultivators," Amalia swept her divine sense over them and immediately noticed something unusual about the sentries at the gate.

"The strongest ones are at the Foundation Building stage, but most of them are at the Qi Gathering stage," Kenny Lin took a glance and quickly lost interest.

"I suddenly understand why the Crimson Moon Dynasty is so confident and why they were able to force the aliens into a ceasefire."

"You think they’ve formed some kind of cultivator alliance or organization?"

Amalia nodded her head. "The number of cultivators in the Pleiades Star System is far greater than we expected. I suspect that the cultivation methods used by the cultivators in the Erythar Star System may have originated from here. But only the superficial aspects one that’s were spreading, which is why there are so few cultivators in the Erythar Star System."

Along the way, they were passed many people, and Amalia noticed that some of them were indeed cultivators.

In the Erythar Star System, it was nearly impossible to even encounter one.

"Do you think this could be related to the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth?" Kenny Lin asked.

Amalia thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I’m not sure. But if it really is the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth, even if they serve the Crimson Moon Dynasty, the debts they owe must still be repaid."

The massacre of the Amalia family could not go unanswered.

The others noticed that Amalia’s expression suddenly turned cold, but they had no idea why.

Sharif thought something was wrong with the palace ahead.

He exchanged a glance with General Rafiq, and both of them remained on guard.

The vehicle soon stopped in front of the grand palace gates.

As everyone stepped out of the car and stood before the towering entrance, they could truly feel the overwhelming presence of the palace that symbolized the highest authority of the Pleiades Star System.
