Chapter 662: Shadow Hall


    Qihe had been captured, and this news spread at lightning speed to the ears of Xingluo Marquis.


    Xingluo Marquis appeared to be a handsome young man, but in reality, he had long surpassed the age of a hundred. For Powerhouses above the Small Galaxy level, life spans were extended significantly, and outward appearance was no longer a crucial factor in determining one''s age.


    "Qihe has been captured by the Red Alert Empire?"


    Xingluo Marquis''s voice was not loud, but to those below, it felt like an interrogation.


    "Marquis, we don''t have the specifics yet. Right now, all we know is that Lord Qihe and his fleet have lost contact, and the same goes for the Stonewrought Star forces."


    The person delivering the news was sweating profusely, clearly frightened.


    No one had expected the Red Alert Empire to possess such strength, not only occupying the mineral-rich Stonewrought Star but also defeating Qihe''s fleet. It was simply incredible.


    "You may leave."


    Xingluo Marquis waved his hand, dismissing his subordinate.


    He couldn''t fathom what kind of enemy could make Qihe lose all contact without transmitting any information. How could this enemy be so formidable? Even if his power surpassed Qihe''s, it wouldn''t be easy to take down Qihe. This meant that the enemy was even stronger.


    The thought of this possibility left Xingluo Marquis feeling uneasy.


    "The situation on Imperial Star remains unclear, and there seems to be a force outside that appears to belong to another Empire. What is going on?"


    Xingluo Marquis pounded his fist on the table in front of him, shattering it into pieces. He didn''t spare it a glance as he stood up.


    "We can''t afford to wait passively. We must find a solution."


    He paced back and forth, a trace of urgency on his face. Soon, he thought of a person, or rather, a being.


    Xingluo Marquis hesitated. Collaborating with non-human races was a serious crime in the Empire, and even as a Marquis, he would face a grim fate.


    Whether the Empire could continue to exist was a matter of debate, but for now, the most important thing was to preserve his own life.


    With a decision in his heart, Xingluo Marquis retrieved a piece of Bamboo. When activated with energy, it emitted a faint glow, and a voice emanated from within: "Marquis, have you made up your mind?"


    "State your conditions!"


    "You truly are a Marquis with a sense of grandeur. Await my good news."


    The call ended, and the Bamboo suddenly turned into powder and disappeared.


    "Hmph, Shadow Hall!"


    Earth, Main Base.


    Su Chen, who was engrossed in playing games, was interrupted by Ju Ling''s communication.


    "Commander, there have been some individuals from other Planets sneaking into the Planets under our control. They were discovered by our troops, and after psychic interrogation, it was revealed that they are all spies from an organization called Shadow Hall."


    "What is Shadow Hall?"


    Ju Ling explained everything she knew, and Su Chen raised an eyebrow, "An organization established by non-human races, and they dare to be so audacious in human territories. Have those Empire Emperors lost their minds?"


    However, Su Chen quickly remembered one thing: why did the Qiluo Civilization perish? Wasn''t it because they discovered the presence of non-humans among high-ranking humans? It seemed that high-ranking humans truly were hard to trust.


    The appearance of an organization like Shadow Hall didn''t seem surprising upon closer examination.


    "Are those spies all from non-human races?"


    "No, they are all human, but they''ve been controlled by Shadow Hall and forced to do their bidding. We''ve detained them for now. How should we deal with them?"


    "Use psychic control to inquire about their past actions and sentence them according to Imperial Law."


    After a moment of thought, Su Chen added, "Also, ask them about the whereabouts of Shadow Hall."


    He was particularly interested in this organization.


    "Commander, they don''t know the location of Shadow Hall. Even the Shadow Hall member who controlled them has never been seen by them."


    "They are this cautious? It seems it''s time to deploy my secret weapons." (To be continued...)
