Chapter 469: Chapter 79: Not Keeping Promises_2
But in the end, it was all in vain.
At that moment, the communicator in Zero’s hand vibrated. Her arm trembled slightly—there were very few who knew her communication number.
With some nervousness, she picked up the communicator to take a look, and upon connecting, her hand continued to tremble gently, her breathing as if it had stopped.
“Witch, why are you still the same old way? If I don’t speak, you don’t either,” a familiar voice came from the other end of the communicator.
Zero looked in the direction of the distance, her tense spirit completely relaxed at that moment, and tears instantly formed two lines streaming down, but she smiled, a smile that was particularly beautiful.
“Mm,” Zero nodded gently in response.
“I’m at sea, I’ll be back soon,” Xu Mo added.
“Okay,” Zero nodded again.
“I brought a gift for you,” Xu Mo said.
“Mm,” Zero responded.
“Is that all you have to say?” Xu Mo said, sounding frustrated.
Zero looked into the distance, a brilliant smile spreading across her face, “I won’t hit you anymore from now on.”
“…” Xu Mo, frustrated, said, “I’m hanging up.”
On the sea surface, a giant beast was moving forward, creating huge waves, while the surrounding monsters emitted deep roars, prostrating and not daring to move.
Atop the giant beast stood three figures.
Qiong Master stood at the front, with Xu Mo and Ye Xi in mechas behind him.
Unable to bring back too much, but each brought back a mecha.
Ye Xi’s mecha was prepared to be taken to the Divine Sword Bureau for research, while Xu Mo’s mecha was prepared to be ‘sold’ to the Stark Group—it’s best to clear accounts with one’s own brothers.
They were now in the shallows, not too far from the coast. The communicator had regained a slight signal, and Xu Mo had contacted some people.
At this moment, the giant beast stopped, and Qiong Master and the other two waited here.
If the giant beast continued forward, it would cause a significant disturbance, and besides, Xu Mo and Ye Xi brought back two mechas that they didn’t want to expose.
They had already notified the Divine Sword Bureau and the Stark Group to come and pick them up.
Unbeknownst to them, the detection center in Coastal City had already sounded an alarm, detecting an SS-level energy wave fluctuation, possibly from a giant beast attack.
Quickly, Coastal City issued an alert, and armed forces began to assemble, converging towards the coast.
If it were an SS-level giant beast, it would be extremely dangerous; their destructive power to cities was too strong.
Xu Mo and the others didn’t know that even before they arrived, they had already caused a huge commotion.
They waited in the sea domain for some time.
High above the sea surface, two flying devices broke through the sky at high speed, causing many people on the coast of Coastal City to look up into the sky.
Soon, the two flying devices arrived one after the other, and upon sighting the giant beast, they dove down and hovered above the sea surface. Energy elevators emerged from inside, and people descended from both flying devices.
From the Divine Sword Bureau’s side, Ye Huan led Fu Yuan to personally pick up the team, accompanied by Shi Qiang and others.
On the other side, Stark Hao arrived with the high-level executives of the Stark Group, along with Ye Qingdie and their group.
“Captain,” Ye Xi and Xu Mo called out to Ye Huan as he descended.
“Mm,” Ye Huan nodded, looking at the two mechas.
“Ye Xi, you scared me to death,” Shi Qiang stepped forward, while Fu Yuan looked at Xu Mo, relieved that all was well.
“What exactly happened? Where’s Han Hu?” Ye Huan asked, and the others also looked towards Ye Xi and Xu Mo—the last people who went in were missing Han Hu.
“Han Hu is dead,” Ye Xi said somberly. “It was Guffu; there’s a traitor in the Federation. Guffu killed Han Hu, along with a man in white armor. They joined forces to try to kill us, and Xu Mo and I were lucky to survive.”
A murderous intent flashed in Ye Huan’s eyes, while Fu Yuan and Shi Qiang looked particularly uncomfortable. Guffu held a high position in the Federation after all, being of SS combat power.
However, he turned out to be a Federation traitor. The question remained, why did he want to kill Han Hu?
Who were they planning to give the Super Energy Body to?
“Captain, a top Mechanical Master from the Stark Group was also killed by Guffu’s sneak attack. We’ve brought back two mechas, planning to hand them over to the Divine Sword Bureau and Stark Group for research,” Xu Mo stepped forward and spoke.
“Agreed,” Ye Huan nodded. Although it would have been best for the Divine Sword Bureau to receive both mechas, the Stark Group also paid a considerable price in this operation, and since the mechas were brought back by Xu Mo, it was fine to hand one over to the Stark Group for research.
“The Super Energy Body seems to be the control center; we couldn’t bring it back, so we had to selectively bring back some equipment for research,” Ye Xi’s mecha carried a package meant for the Divine Sword Bureau.
Xu Mo also had a package behind him, but his wasn’t for the Divine Sword Bureau.
The equipment brought by Ye Xi was enough for research, and as for more, Xu Mo was reluctant to take it for now, preferring to observe first.
If needed in the future, they would retrieve it from the Chiyou.
He couldn’t go, but they had Qiong Master.
If Qiong Master was unwilling, he would turn to Zero!
As for the vessel, Xu Mo left it on the warship, responsible for guarding the warship and cultivating.
The vessel could cultivate independently—though the vessel’s absorption of energy to strengthen itself didn’t equate to the body, they could merge.
Besides, insights experienced by the vessel could be received by the body as well.
A vessel capable of endless cultivation, especially within an Energy Field.
Xu Mo maneuvered his mecha towards Stark Hao and together they entered the flying device.
