Ling Fei, Luo Fei, and Xian Fei gazed at Chu Yuan, who stood with his hands clasped behind his back. The emperor’s silhouette seemed even more imposing over the years, as grandiose as the heavens and the earth.


    He held up the sky of Dawu, captivating their eyes.


    When he smiled, it felt like bathing in the spring breeze.


    When he got angry, it felt like an earth-shattering event.


    This was their man.


    "Come, let’s wait for their good news."


    Chu Yuan smiled as he saw his three beloved consorts arrive.


    At this moment, a fleet of thousands of Starry Sky Battleships sailed majestically through the universe, lined up neatly in the outer star space.


    Upon learning the news about the Wanderer’s Nest, Chu Yuan had long since dispatched the Artifact Refining Masters to set up teleportation channels. Otherwise, who knows how long the journey would have taken?


    "Make war on the Wanderer’s Nest!"


    Yang Hong was also immensely excited.


    Leading the warship fleet to conquer the Wanderer’s Nest was a sign of the Emperor’s trust in him. Even if it meant risking his life, he was determined to complete the task assigned by the Emperor.


    "The Emperor said, this weapon can slay a level-five divine being. If I were to be slashed three times, would I also be annihilated?"


    Yang Teng examined the God Slaying Blade that Chu Yuan had given him.


    Sealed within this tiny pocket-size knife was an extremely terrifying power that sent chills down Yang Teng’s spine.


    "This is the ultimate weapon left by His Majesty for us." Yang Hong said.


    "Humph! Wanderer’s Nest, this time we will decimate them and take all their resources!"


    Yang Teng’s gaze was fierce.


    After emerging from the last teleportation array, Yang Teng immediately saw vast Meteor Sea filled with countless meteors right before his eyes. The deadly cosmic rays shining within the Meteor Sea created a dazzling color spectacle, belying the deadly danger they posed.


    This was a natural fortification.


    The cosmic rays here were thousands of times stronger than anywhere else, making the stellar space here less dark and empty.


    "Sirs, the first Wanderer’s Nest we are going to is in this Meteor Sea. There’s no divine being in charge there, only a half-divine being."


    Jiao Feng, under the watchful gaze of the two divine beings, was sweating and felt under tremendous pressure.


    "Good! The Starry Sky Battleships should charge straight in, don’t waste any time. The quicker we finish our task, the sooner we will bring the good news of our triumphant return to the Emperor!"


    Yang Teng was aggressive.


    Of course, he had the ability to back up his aggression.


    Boom!


    In an instant, a thousand Starry Sky Battleships charged menacingly into the Meteor Sea. The ironclad warships were extremely fierce, shattering any obstructing meteors with energy beams.


    Yang Teng barked.


    The moment his words fell, the wanderers appeared frozen on the spot as if an immobilization spell had been cast on them. How dare any of them play tricks when faced with a divine being?


    A wanderer forced a wry smile and said, "Honorable divine being, we will do as you command, we’ll hand over our resources willingly. Please, don’t kill us!"


    They were afraid too.


    "We want the resources, and we want the people. Everyone, stay put."


    Yang Teng cleared out all the resources in the Wanderer’s Nest and took everyone away.


    He knew that Chu Yuan had been collecting resources and he didn’t care about the reasons why these people had become wanderers. But he knew that having roamed through the star space, these wanderers had a good understanding of the situation in the outer star space.


    The Starry Sky Battleships continued their mighty expedition through the starry space.


    Yang Teng and Yang Hong led the army to attack successive Wanderer’s Nests. Some nests were wise and immediately surrendered upon seeing the battleships. Some were foolish enough to resist.


    Yang Teng didn’t spare them either. Those who resisted were put to death without mercy.


    A dozen or so Wanderer’s Nests were conquered, and the army secured a wealth of resources.


    "Sirs, the next Wanderer’s Nest is completely different from the previous ones. There’s a divine being named Qian Yuan guarding it."


    Jiao Feng informed.


    "Even if a divine being is guarding it, we’ll break through!"


    Yang Teng was keen to take on a divine being.


    "Sir divine being, I know Qian Yuan."


    A wanderer spoke fearfully.


    "Speak."


    Commanded Yang Hong.


    "Qian Yuan originally ran a trade association in a large world. But after his business was destroyed, he became a wanderer. However, he started a Wanderer’s Trade Association on his own among the wanderers. The resources we obtained usually went there for exchange."


    The wanderer said, "Qian Yuan controls several powerful beings."


    "Wanderer’s Trade Association!" Yang Teng’s eyes lit up instantly, "That means he has lots of resources!"


    "Full speed ahead!"


    The speed of the Starry Sky Battleships increased again.


    More than ten days later, they sighted the Wanderer’s Nest.


    Unlike other nests, this one was situated in a world full of birdsong and fragrant flowers. It was bustling with people coming and going, not at all like a nest of wanderers.


    However, when Dawu’s battleships swaggered over, the Wanderer’s Trade Association immediately raised the white flag of surrender.


    A middle-aged man clad in a brocade robe then emerged, boldly said, "I, Qian Yuan, am willing to surrender without resistance, obey Dawu’s commands, hand over all resources, and submit unconditionally!"
