After waiting for a long time without Li Ming’s interrogation or showing off, Reina said in a hoarse voice:
“I’m sorry to Grand Duke Gu Ya, but don’t expect to get anything from me. You can just kill me.”
The shame of being a prisoner is secondary. Reina recalled the battle not long ago. He thought that Qinglong only relied on the mecha to escape.
But he didn’t expect that the other party’s hidden means were far more than he imagined.
“Kill you?” Li Ming shook his head and said calmly, “I won’t kill you. If you die, Nicholas will jump even more happily, and he will take the opportunity to instigate the high-ranking officials of the empire to attack us.”
Hearing what Li Ming said, Reina paused and said self-deprecatingly, “Yes, I almost forgot that mad dog Nicholas would not let me go, regardless of whether I killed his son or not.”
“Now that you have caught me, he will definitely try every means to get the Royal Council to take action. He will save me instead.”
“So, in order to prevent the Xingyuan Empire from really targeting us, I can only let you go.” Li Ming said casually, not intending to really slap the Xingyuan Empire in the face.
Unlike Gabriel’s ambiguity, all parties tacitly fell on Grand Duke Gu Ya’s head.
It is a foregone conclusion that he caught Reina, and this news must not be hidden.
There are already many spies outside the galaxy, and the commotion caused at that time was not small. This news may have begun to spread outward.
As an S-class life form listed in the Xingyuan Empire, Reina is not a direct descendant, but a latecomer, and is under the Higher Life Administration, which is directly under the Royal Council.
No matter who he is under, those high-level officials will not sit idly by. If they extract the gene source, it is not in vain to capture him. He must be released.
“You say it easily.” Reina was silent for a moment, and couldn’t help but say: “I came straight to you and almost succeeded in the sneak attack. Qinglong asked you to let me go. Aren’t you unwilling?”
“What’s the matter…” Li Ming shook his head and didn’t care: “No one wants to offend the giant Xingyuan Empire, why bother yourself.”
“Aren’t you afraid that if you let me go, I will come back again?” Reina said provocatively.
“You shouldn’t have this opportunity.” Li Ming’s words were inexplicable. He extracted the other party’s gene source. When he stumbled all the way back to the Xingyuan Empire, the first decline would come.
With the other party’s development progress, at most twice, the first time might fall from an S-class life form.
He didn’t mind people finding out that Qinglong had the ability to make people’s genes degenerate. This was the mystery, and this was the means.
Means were not made up by others’ imaginations, otherwise there would always be people who were ready to try, and there must be corresponding demonstrations.
Lei Ting’s appearance was one aspect, and this means of genetic degradation was also another aspect, enough to make outsiders raise Qinglong’s threat to many levels.
“Hmph…” Reina sneered, “You are going to let me go, but you haven’t asked me if I want to leave.”
“Tell me, if I die here, will the Empire be forced to avenge me?”
Li Ming paused, his eyes flickered, and then he sighed: “Your loyalty is really moving to the galaxy.”
“If you die here, the Empire can only issue a wanted warrant for us, but this will not do any good to Grand Duke Guya.”
“If you want to be the name of Grand Duke Guya and spit out all the benefits that Nicolael has taken, you must be able to catch my teacher.”
Li Ming coaxed: “It’s just such a small planet, we can just throw it away, at most we can hide it in another place “Get up, your death can do any good except to deal another heavy blow to the already seriously injured Grand Duke Gu Ya?”
“If you really care about Grand Duke Gu Ya, you should think about it carefully. If you really decide to do this, I don’t mind helping you.” Li Ming said considerately:
“I will send your beheading video to the interstellar. I believe Nicolael will applaud and further oppress Grand Duke Gu Ya.”
“If he can’t even protect his subordinates, who will work loyally for him?”
Reina remained silent. He just said that. Because of the shame of being defeated by Li Ming, he said such words with the intention of taking some initiative.
As a result, Li Ming blocked his way.
“Well… OK.” Li Ming pretended to pick up the metal box at hand.
Reina finally reacted and said in a deep voice: “What did you do to me?”
“Nothing, the teacher asked me to make some gadgets.” Li Ming smiled warmly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Reina, it’s okay.”
Reina’s development progress was only 4% as he estimated, which can be classified as low-end S.
Reina twisted his body and said unwillingly: “Where is Qinglong, is he not going to show up? Or am I no longer qualified for him to look at me?”
“Your Excellency misunderstood…” Li Ming stamped his feet and laughed: “You have never had such qualifications.”
Reina’s expression froze, feeling ashamed and annoyed, and then he was depressed again. He didn’t even see Qinglong’s face, and he ended up like this. What was there to be unwilling about?
………
About half a day later, Albert, who was hiding in the distant orbit, carefully drove the spacecraft away, his silver pupils were full of fear, and his vigilance rose to the extreme.
He was not sure whether he had been discovered by Qinglong.
After he was far away from Frost Sky Star and then from Meteorite Flame Star System, he was barely able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He did not dare to delay and quickly contacted the Grand Duke of Bloodthirsty, and soon received a response.
“Albert, what’s going on over there?” Nicolael saw Albert contacting him on his own initiative and felt that something might have happened, so he asked immediately.
Qinglong is a thorn in his heart. Even though he is now exhausted by internal struggles, he is still very concerned.
“Today, an S-level life form suddenly attacked Hantian Star.” Albert said.
Nicholas’s expression was slightly shocked, “S-level life form? What is the origin? How is the battle? Did Qinglong appear?”
“I don’t know the specific origin, I only know that it is a woman, Qinglong did not appear…”
Before Albert finished speaking, Nicholas interrupted and frowned, “Qinglong did not appear? Then what about Li Ming? Was he captured?”
“No, there was an S-level mechanical body that defeated the woman.” Albert said helplessly.
“S-level mechanical body?” Nicholas was stunned, his face became ugly: “Can Qinglong create an S-level mechanical body?”
The amount of information contained in this is huge. The mechanical body is a collection of various technical means such as material science, energy engine, and even transmission efficiency.
Although there are many interstellar forging star mechanics, there are really not many who can create this thing.
“Yeah…” Albert also looked helpless, “An S-class mechanical body as a bodyguard, he is really rich.”
“And…halfway through the fight, Reina was here and intended to attack Li Ming, but Qinglong left his mecha to Li Ming.”
Nicholas couldn’t help but sneer when he heard it, “Reina…the old thing Satogua was unwilling to let me eat a piece of meat.”
“The S-class mechanical body and S-class mecha were left to Li Ming. Qinglong really values him, and Reina can only return empty-handed.”
“Not empty-handed.” Albert sighed.
“Did he catch Li Ming?” Nicolas’s face changed slightly. Who wouldn’t want a treasure with 46-level development potential?
He looked at Albert with some unkindness.
“No.” Albert was speechless and explained: “On the contrary, Li Ming wore that mecha and severely injured Reina. He has been caught now.” “Seriously injured Reina?” Nicolael chewed on a few words and said incredulously: “Doesn’t that mecha have no combat capability?”
“We have all been deceived. It’s not that it has no combat capability. It’s simply too…” Albert could not describe it in words, “I estimate that the development progress is less than 30%, and there is almost no possibility of taking it head-on.”
Power acceleration, simple and rough.
“So powerful?” Nicolael’s heart suddenly raised. At the level of S-level life, every bit of development progress takes dozens or hundreds of years.
At each development node, the awakened ability will bring a huge increase.
Many people are like Reina. After a leap, they become S-level life, but they stop moving forward for life.
Nicolael’s expression was uncertain, and then suddenly relaxed, saying: “It doesn’t matter. Since he has captured Reina, it is a direct provocation to the empire.”
“Don’t care how many tricks he has hidden. Since he chooses to hide, it means that there is still something he is afraid of.”
Albert nodded. With the support of the Xingyuan Empire, they are confident.
Just when he was about to speak, he heard a movement from the other side of the screen. It seemed that someone came to report. The voice was very familiar. It seemed to be the intelligence adjutant.
“Grand Duke, just received urgent news. S-level life form Reina was captured in the chaotic star gap and fell into the hands of Qinglong.”
The reaction over there was quite fast… Albert couldn’t help but nod.
“I already know…” Nicolael said lightly, but the intelligence adjutant hadn’t finished reporting yet, and continued: “There was news from Grand Duke Gu Ya. Qinglong passed the message and asked them to send someone to hand over Reina.”
“Hand over Reina?” Nicolael stood up suddenly and shouted: “He wants to release him?”
“It seems so.”
“Did he put forward conditions?” Nicolael asked.
“It seems not.”
“Coward!” Nicolael gritted his teeth and said, “People have already reached the door, and you just let them go? You don’t even mention the conditions?”
Albert was also a little stunned, but he quickly reacted.
Qinglong didn’t want to provoke the Xingyuan Empire, and he was extremely rational. He sent someone to pass the message only half a day after the attack. Obviously, he didn’t want to be caught in time.
He didn’t mention any conditions to avoid any excuses.
The communication ended with Nicolael’s roar. Albert’s face changed. He didn’t know whether he should leave or stay.
With the support of the Xingyuan Empire, even Reina’s life would not be in danger. This is a benefit, so he has to pay the corresponding price.
………
In the room, Li Ming felt the surging and extremely active cells in his body, just like soaking in a hot spring. The cells all over his body were wriggling, and he could clearly feel that he was getting stronger every moment, even if it was just a little bit.
The changes brought by the gene seeds permeated his whole body.
He has used the gene source extracted from Reina to upgrade the [Flame Emperor Evolution], one of the remaining three evolution theories under the evolution system.
It has been transformed into the S-level [Flame Emperor Evolution Source].
“The gene source has been upgraded from A-level to S-level, and the development speed has increased from 16 times to 32 times. After the blessing of [Sublimation Source Crystal], the overall speed has reached 256 times.”
Li Ming pondered, and every upgrade, with the blessing of [Sublimation Source Crystal], can be called a surge.
Perhaps because the upgrade only used an S-level gene source, the evolution source did not have any special changes, only the data was improved.
Glancing at the smart terminal, the response from Grand Duke Gu Ya has come, agreeing to place the handover point at the Twin Peaks node.
Li Ming replied “Okay”, agreed on a time, and opened the black hole network.
Sure enough, the battle that took place more than half a day ago has begun to circulate in the chaotic star gap, and there are also blurry battle videos.
Li Ming went in and took a look. Lei Ting’s figure was clearly visible, and when he returned with Reina, it was also very clear.
“S-class mechanical body, this Lord Qinglong is so powerful. He didn’t even show his face, and he made two S-class life forms catch and escape with just his students.”
“I don’t know where this guy came from. He doesn’t stop even when he comes to the Chaos Star Gap.”
“It is said that the captured S-class life form is a member of the Star Abyss Empire. Tsk tsk… It’s really exciting now…”
Li Ming glanced at him and saw that he could say anything, but his understanding of Qinglong’s strength and methods was basically at a higher level.
Sigh…bragging, making up for it, the more you brag, the bigger it gets…I don’t know when I will be able to make up for it completely.
For now, as long as those big forces are not forced to take action against him, his boasting cannot be exposed for the time being.
Leaving the room and finding Robin, he had a warm attitude: “Have you packed up? It’s time to go.”
“Okay, okay…” Robin nodded repeatedly, having already packed everything.
They were on Robin’s ship.
Ulrich and others saw each other off, and Robin cautiously glanced at Lei Lei who was following Li Ming, “He’s following too?”
“Of course, he is my bodyguard, so of course he will follow.” Li Ming took it for granted.
While Robin was envious, he also wondered: “What about this planet?”
“I’m not here, and my teacher isn’t here either. Who would take action here?” Li Ming smiled.
This planet is really not a big threat in the eyes of other people, and neither are the people on it.
“After yesterday’s battle, the situation should be much better. I will leave the matters here to you.” Li Ming said to Ulrich.
“Understood.” Ulrich nodded. Unknowingly, he also respected Li Ming. “Those small arms dealers mostly follow the big arms dealers and wave flags and shout. After yesterday’s battle, there are quite a few today. People place orders.”
“If we are stronger, we should be able to expand our share a lot.”
Names of People, Shadows of Trees, and Chaotic Star Gap are rumored to be an extremely chaotic place in the outside world, but that is only the middle and lower levels.
There has been no battle between higher life forms for some time. Yesterday’s battle caused quite a stir, which was equivalent to Qinglong speaking for himself.
“Yes.” Li Ming nodded, still very confident in Ulrich’s ability to do things.
“He’s coming with us too?” Robin shuddered, looked at Reina who was being restrained by the Tan Guard, and swallowed.
“I want to hand them over to the people of the Star Abyss Empire and hand them over at the Twin Peaks node.” Li Ming said casually. The two boarded the spacecraft, the engine roared, broke through the atmosphere and disappeared into the sky under the watch of everyone.
