Chapter 816 Mining Planet Riot
Main Star Region, Jiang Family No. 1 Galaxy, Council Hall.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp crack, the precious ancient sandalwood wooden table was smashed to pieces by the eldest elder of the Jiang family, sending wood chips flying everywhere.
"Damn it! Who gave him the guts?!" Elder Jiang Tianheng's face was ashen, his breathing heavy and labored. "Lin Qiye actually dared to go to the interstellar battlefield?! And he even brought Jiang Yulan with him, openly showing up at the Ironblood Fortress?!"
The elders below were terrified and their faces were extremely grim.
"Elder, the latest intelligence indicates that Jiang Yulan and the few Jiang family members who accompanied her were as humble as maids in front of Lin Qiye..." An elder forced a smile and spoke, his voice trembling, "Our previous plan... has probably failed completely."
The eldest elder of the Jiang family looked grim; these words were a direct slap in the face!
What "lurking and infiltration" and what "reverse harvesting"? Now it seems like they personally delivered the family's elites and elders to his bedside!
Jiang Tianheng closed his eyes, his temples throbbing violently.
He had painstakingly cultivated his power for many years, thinking he could manipulate Lin Qiye at will, but now Jiang Yulan had become his loyal dog.
The latest news I've heard is that they've even had a bunch of children, which is the greatest disgrace the Jiang family has ever suffered!
"Cancel all plans targeting Lin Qiye." Jiang Tianheng suddenly calmed down, his voice chillingly somber. "He's currently in the interstellar battlefield, an area directly monitored by the 'Taurus Sequence.' Any underhanded attacks targeting powerful members of the human race, once detected by the StarNet, will result in our Jiang family facing judgment."
"Are we just going to let it go like this?"
"Forget it?" Jiang Tianheng sneered. "What kind of place is the interstellar battlefield? It's a meat grinder! He went to the 'Fallen God Starfield,' a place where even a true interstellar war god might not escape unscathed. Let's wait! Let him return from the battlefield. Even if he's lucky enough to survive, he can't instantly become an interstellar war god. The moment he sets foot back in the main star sector, our ancestors fighting on the front lines will personally take action, skin him alive, and reclaim their bloodline rules!"
……
Meanwhile, the Ji family.
Compared to the Jiang family's fury, the atmosphere in the Ji family was much more oppressive and gloomy.
The Third Elder, Ji Yuanfeng, was so angry that his fingers trembled as he looked at the image of Ji Changyue on the intelligence terminal, where she was fanatically following Lin Qiye.
"This woman has utterly disgraced the Ji family!" Ji Yuanfeng shattered the holographic projection beside him with a single palm strike. "We agreed that she would go undercover, but what did she do? She found a master! And she even got pregnant by him several times!"
"Third Elder, what should we do now?"
Ji Yuanfeng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shame and indignation in his heart.
"Stop making any more underhanded moves. Our Ji family has no need to cross the red line of the Taurus sequence for the sake of Lin Qiye."
A venomous glint flashed in his eyes: "Lin Qiye is too arrogant. Does he think he can sweep across the interstellar battlefield with nine high-level martial gods? That's wishful thinking! Once he's beaten to a pulp and understands the true terror of the rules, he'll realize how insignificant he is."
"Pass down the order: all family forces stationed outside the region are to fall silent. We must show the Taurus faction that our Ji family is a model of support for resisting the alien race. As for Lin Qiye… if he dies on the battlefield, he deserves it; if he survives, the day he returns will be the day he kneels before the family patriarch and begs for mercy!"
The top leaders of these two founding families simply did not believe that Lin Qiye could bring back any miracles from the interstellar battlefield.
They firmly believed that as long as their interstellar war god ancestor was free to act, Lin Qiye was nothing more than a skeleton in a tomb, easily destroyed.
……
Mining Planet No. 2, deep within the Earth's core.
The gravity here is more than ten thousand times that of a standard galaxy, and the air is filled with violent spiritual energy that could instantly cause an ordinary martial artist to explode.
The Jiang and Ji family warriors, who once lived in luxury and wielded immense power in the main star region, now wielded heavy dark gold pickaxes, each strike accompanied by a dull rumble.
"Have you heard...?"
In a secluded corner, a mid-level Martial God from the Jiang family, taking a breather, lowered his voice with a sinister look in his eyes:
"That madman Lin Qiye officially entered the 'Fallen God Starfield' of the interstellar battlefield a month ago, along with those traitors Jiang Yulan and Ji Changyue. Now, the No. 2 mining planet is no longer being watched by Lin Qiye."
"Is that really true?!"
A martial god from the Ji family beside him stopped what he was doing. Due to long hours of labor, the area between his hands was covered in scabs, and his eyes burned with a mad, wild hatred.
"He really left? That's going to his death on the interstellar battlefield! Even a space god might not escape unscathed from such a place. Who does he think he is?!"
"Absolutely true! This is the information I just received."
The martial gods exchanged glances, and their previously numb eyes suddenly erupted with unprecedented ferocity and greed.
"I've had enough... I've really had enough!"
A high-level martial god from the Jiang family roared and slammed his pickaxe against the hard mine wall, sending debris flying.
"I've been digging in this dark, godforsaken place for years! Every day I've been driven like livestock, and even my family's distress signals were cut off by that man! This is an utter disgrace to my martial arts!"
"Now that he's not here, who can stop us on Mining Planet Two? Those secretaries? Or those scrap metal robots?!"
"As long as we join forces to break out of this planet, seize the fast shuttle docked at the starport, and jump into subspace, we can escape for good! When we return to our home planet, we'll report everything to our family patriarch, and I'll make sure Lin Qiye's entire family pays the price!!"
This long-suppressed anger and humiliation were instantly and completely ignited by the fact that "Lin Qiye is not here".
"Let's do it! Now!!"
With a command given, the spiritual energy around the dozen or so martial gods who were diligently mining suddenly exploded without warning.
"boom--!!!"
The terrifying shockwave instantly shattered the surrounding expensive mining machinery into pieces. They no longer concealed their strength; more than a dozen ferocious auras belonging to high- and mid-level martial gods, like pillars of light reaching the heavens and the earth, directly tore through the thick strata of the ground.
"Fight your way out! Reclaim your freedom!!"
Jiang Yunhe, the second elder of the Jiang family, took the lead. The dark gold pickaxe in his hand, which was originally used for mining, was now used as a divine weapon. The power of law was wrapped around it, and with one strike, it completely destroyed the monitoring array deep underground.
Above them, the once peaceful Mining Star II base was suddenly filled with the piercing sound of alarms that echoed through the sky.
……
"Alert! Armed riot has broken out in the underground core area!"
"More than twelve high-level Martial God energy fluctuations detected; the defense network is collapsing!"
Inside the base command center, several secretariat members who remained behind looked deathly pale.
Although they had undergone Lin Qiye's divine source baptism and greatly improved their strength, they still felt suffocated when faced with the combined counterattack of so many senior martial gods who were determined to die.
Just then, in the surveillance footage, a phantom-like yet supremely majestic figure slowly materialized in the sky above the riot.
"Hmph, a bunch of reckless miners."
"Trying to escape? My mine isn't finished yet, who gave you the guts... to put down your pickaxes?"
