Chapter 574: Chapter 572: Playing by Unconventional Means

“Ah…”

In the pitch-black universe, a miserable cry echoed.

Aboard Spaceship One, the old Demon’s face was as pale as paper.

Beside the old Demon, there was also a large bottle of bright red blood—no less than ten kilograms.

Ling Xiao and others twitched at the corners of their eyes, thankful that the old Demon’s true form was a demon beast, and moreover, a long-lived turtle. Had it been a human, they would have likely been dead by now after such blood extraction by Wang Hao.

Wang Hao’s lips curled slightly—the reason he extracted the old Demon’s blood was that he feared Li Yunyang would use his sense of justice, coupled with his protagonist’s verbal shield, to sway the old Demon.

And then the two of them would collude and scheme against him.

But with the old Demon’s blood, he would later be able to control the old Demon with the Demon Scroll, allowing him to rest easy.

Truth be told, he hadn’t originally planned to do this, but the Heavenly Dao was just too biased towards his son, making the future uncertain.

Therefore, keeping a trick up his sleeve could never be a mistake.

“Can I go now!?” the old Demon asked weakly.

“You may go!” Wang Hao gestured dismissively, reminding him, “Remember where Li Yunyang is and hurry to find him. I want to know his every move.”

“I understand!”

The old Demon gave Mutou a glance—a look that frightened him into nodding repeatedly—and then, disregarding his own physical weakness, he hastily left Spaceship One, leaving behind only the barely breathing Reck.

Mutou sighed. “Wang Hao, my boy, letting such delicious prey get away—you really ought to be struck by lightning!”

“Is it really that delicious!?” Wang Hao couldn’t help but ask.

Mutou reminisced with a look of satisfaction, “If you’ve ever tasted a Saint Demon Turtle, you’d definitely fall in love with that flavor.”

Wang Hao turned to Qian Wanyang and directed, “Take the old Demon’s blood to the lab later on. Have them clone a bit of it for me to taste.”

“Yes, Boss!” Qian Wanyang nodded and accepted the order.

Ling Xiao sighed, silently mourning the old Demon for three minutes. Poor old turtle, he hoped it would never come to know this.

Wang Hao approached Reck, whispering, “Spill it, where is the Thunder God’s Heart?!”

Reck lifted his head weakly, his voice devoid of strength, “Don’t take me for a fool. As long as I don’t reveal the location of the Thunder God’s Heart, you won’t kill me. But the moment I do, my death would be certain.”

Wang Hao sighed, “Why are there always people who believe they’re being clever these days?!”

Ling Xiao and others gave Reck a look of sympathy. They knew that Wang Hao had received the inheritance of the Ancient Thunder God, and Little White had once again raided the Thunder God Palace, finding several Thunder God’s Hearts.

This meant that Wang Hao wasn’t in need of the Thunder God’s Heart. What he was lacking was proof to make the Wolf Clan completely submit.

Now, just by bringing Reck’s corpse, that would be the best evidence.

It also meant the Wolf Clan had lost, and the top-level spaceship would become Wang Hao’s private property.

“I’m not being clever; I’m trying to survive,” Reck said weakly, managing a smile.

Wang Hao sneered, “It feels like you’re not chasing life, but courting death…”

Before the words finished, Wang Hao swung the Heavenly Demon Giant Sword in his hand, stabbing directly into Reck’s heart.

“Pfft…”

Immediately, blood sprayed out, and Reck’s eyes widened, utterly confused by what was happening.

What happened to the notion that keeping a secret would keep you alive?

Why didn’t things follow the usual script at all?!

Ling Xiao and the others sighed; it was indeed as they had expected.

Qian Wanyang asked, “Boss, are we going straight to the Sirius Star System now?!”

Wang Hao fiercely drew the Heavenly Demon Giant Sword and nodded, “Send a message to Ai Er, have her go to the Sirius Star System to fulfill the bet.”

Qian Wanyang nodded and began to send a message to Ai Er.

Soon enough, Spaceship One was at full speed, headed for the Sirius Star System.

…

Star Domain.

Divine Dao Space.

The Clan Leaders of the four major Divine Clans were gathered for a meeting.

At this moment, the four Clan Leaders no longer carried their customary carefree demeanor; all that remained were their grievous injuries.

Had reinforcements not arrived in time during the previous encounter, they would definitely not have been able to return together; at the very least, two would have been left behind.

The fact that they were able to return with serious injuries was fortunate amid their misfortune.

The Clan Leader of the Heavenly Demon Divine Race, Li Moyi, coldly stated, “This battle can be said to have been entirely instigated by Chu Shengxiong.”

Chu Shengxiong retorted angrily, “Can you stop being so unreasonable? If it weren’t for Lin Mengmeng informing Wang Hao, how could this battle have taken place?!”

“Sure, Lin Mengmeng did sound the alarm, but if you hadn’t insisted on capturing Wang Hao, how could it have escalated to this?” Li Moyi snorted coldly, clearly displeased that Chu Shengxiong had managed to return alive.

Thus, he was determined to pin the blame on Chu Shengxiong, to undermine his credibility amongst the Divine Race.

In doing so, he wouldn’t have to worry about being completely sidelined by Chu Shengxiong one day.

The Clan Leader of the Tianming Divine Race, Lin Mingjie, said with a chuckle, “The old man has already severely scolded Mengmeng and even made the girl reflect upon her actions at home. We’re all elders here; let’s not stoop to a junior’s level.”

The corners of the mouths of the three Clan Leaders present twitched, as they cursed inwardly, ‘Old fox!’

Who exactly sent Lin Mengmeng to tip them off? Even a fool could see clearly!

However, given the imminent threat of foreign invasion, they needed to stand united internally, so they could not call it out and had to feign ignorance.

Zhou Xiancheng spoke up, “Let’s not dwell on the past. Let’s discuss the issue at hand—Heaven and Immortal Second Palace attacking our Divine Dao Space.”

Li Moyi said coldly, “If we don’t want our people to die in battle, our only option is to capture Wang Hao and force Heaven and Immortal Second Palace to retreat their troops.”

Lin Mingjie nodded repeatedly, “That’s a great idea. I will send people now to pursue Wang Hao.”

The faces of the three Clan Leaders present turned utterly dark; just how shameless could that old fox be? If they left it to Lin Mingjie to capture Wang Hao, they probably wouldn’t be able to apprehend him in this lifetime.

Indeed, they had a very clear understanding of the plans within Lin Mingjie’s heart.

Wasn’t he just trying to secure a double insurance policy? Afraid that this cosmic catastrophe might impact the Divine Dao Space, he wanted to keep a savior of a grandson to ensure the Tianming Divine Race would remain safe and sound.

Chu Shengxiong said coldly, “There’s no need for others to go. I will send five Divine Realm powerhouses to capture Wang Hao. I will make sure to bring him back.”

“Five Divine Realm powerhouses!!”

The other three Clan Leaders were stunned, feeling like Chu Shengxiong had surely been kicked in the head by a donkey.

After all, a single Divine Race’s Divine Realm powerhouse was worth five from the outside. This meant to capture a junior, twenty-five Divine Realm powerhouses would be sent; this was not just intimidating—it was downright lethal.

Chu Shengxiong’s expression grew grave, “Wang Hao has an Ancient being by his side, one who once reached the level of the Ancient Demon Gods. Although his cultivation has fallen to the Divine Realm, we must send five Divine Realm powerhouses to ensure that we can capture Wang Hao.”

“Who?!” the three Clan Leaders asked with furrowed brows…
