“What’s going on?”

“Enemy invasion?”

“Who dares to invade our Roya Imperial Planet?”

“Looks like a cultivator. What a terrifying cultivator!”

The alarm sounded, and the entire Roya Imperial Planet was shaken. Countless relevant departments immediately mobilized and began to investigate everything regarding Lin Feng.

At this moment, the people in the headquarters building of the Pall Chamber of Commerce were naturally the most nervous. They could only watch helplessly as Lin Feng’s massive combat body stared at them coldly.

They did not even know what they had done wrong.

In the sky, Lin Feng looked down at the Pall Chamber of Commerce building. He had not used his full combat body. Otherwise, a slight movement from his 140,000-kilometer combat body would be enough to shatter the Roya Imperial Planet.

This was not what Lin Feng wanted. Even though he was furious and filled with killing intent, this was the Pall Chamber of Commerce’s crime. He would not implicate others in his anger.

“Pall Chamber of Commerce, you deal in slave trading. You deserve to be killed!”

Lin Feng’s words spread like wildfire.

Slave trading?

Actually, it was not that no one knew about the actions of these chambers of commerce. But so what if they knew? Even the Roya Empire turned a blind eye. Although slave trading was not allowed in the Roya Empire, it could not stop the chambers of commerce from capturing slaves to trade in other galaxies.

Unexpectedly, the Pall Chamber of Commerce seemed to have caused huge trouble this time.

The executives of the Pall Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters were already bellowing.

“Tell me, what’s going on?”

The president of the Pall Chamber of Commerce’s face was dark. He was also in the Pall Building. Once the cultivator attacked, he would die too!

In so many years, when had the upper echelons of the Pall Chamber of Commerce ever felt the threat of death? Hence, all of them were incomparably terrified now.

“President, we’ve investigated thoroughly. This cultivator once defeated the Skull Chamber of Commerce, and is related to the Auricles.”

“The Auricles?”

The executives of the Pall Chamber of Commerce already knew what was going on, but their faces turned even paler.

As the most successful business deal of the Pall Chamber of Commerce in recent years, how could they not remember the Auricles? They had sent fleets to destroy the resistance of the Auricles, occupied Planet Auricle, and sold more than a billion Auricles to various parts of the universe, earning a large sum of profit for the chamber of commerce.

They would never forget the Auricles.

Wasn’t the Auricles just a backward civilization? Even if they had encountered resistance from the Auricles during the conquest, and the Auricles seemed to possess the cosmic cultivation method, back then, the strongest among those Auricles had only undergone three life transitions, and were all blasted to death by the fleet.

Why would a planetary lifeform stand up for them?

It had to be known that if there were any planetary lifeforms in a civilization, no chamber of commerce in the Roya Empire would have dared to attack it. Planetary lifeforms were not to be trifled with.

“Damn it, what did the intelligence department say back then? ‘That cultivator was just an accident, and he left the Roya Imperial Planet for good.’ What about now? Why would he appear?”

The president of the Pall Chamber of Commerce was ranting. He was incomparably furious and regretful. How could they have provoked a civilization with any planetary lifeforms? If they had known that there was a planetary lifeform among the Auricles, no matter how much profit there was, they would not have dared to capture the Auricles.

But it was too late for anything now. The other party had already come looking for them. In a little while, all of them would die.

“President, it’s useless to pursue the responsibility now. We still have an advantage now. It’s true that this cultivator is a planetary lifeform, but this is the Roya Imperial Planet. How can the Roya Empire tolerate cultivators acting however they please on the Roya Imperial Planet? We just need to hold him off until the Roya Empire takes action.”

“Huh? How can we stall this cultivator?”

“It’s very simple. Didn’t we leave about 100,000 Auricles behind for training? We originally wanted to sell them for a higher price, but from the looks of it, we can only use these Auricles to stall that cultivator.”

“This is a good idea, but if we hand over those 100,000 Auricles slaves, won’t the entire Roya Empire know that our Pall Chamber of Commerce is engaging in slave trade?”

“President, trading slaves is a small matter. When the time comes, our Pall Chamber of Commerce will only have to pay a minor price. But if we don’t hold off that cultivator now, we’ll all die!”

“All right, negotiate with this cultivator and stall for as much time as possible!”

The executives of the Pall Chamber of Commerce immediately made the decision.

At the same time, a spaceship flew towards Lin Feng. Many robots flew out of it and said loudly to Lin Feng, “Venerable cultivator, we understand your anger. The Pall Chamber of Commerce deeply regrets the matter of the Auricles. We are willing to bear all the consequences. There are still 100,000 Auricles left in our headquarters. We are willing to return them to you.”

“A hundred thousand Auricles?”

Lin Feng was originally prepared to attack and completely destroy the building, but when he heard that there were still 100,000 Auricles, he stopped.

“Send 100,000 Auricles to a spaceship within two universal hours.”

Lin Feng only gave the Pall Chamber of Commerce two hours. He looked around again, and actually already saw through the Pall Chamber of Commerce’s plan. They were just stalling for time, waiting for the Roya Empire to save them.

But so what if the Roya Empire’s fleet came?

Lin Feng was willing to wait for two hours, as long as he could save the 100,000 Auricles.

Two hours was very short, but the Pall Chamber of Commerce did not have the ability to bargain. They could only mobilize all their manpower and try their best to send a hundred thousand Auricles into the spaceship within two hours.

As for the rest, it would depend on how the Pall Chamber of Commerce persuaded the Roya Empire’s fleet.

…

The upper echelons of the Roya Empire quickly received news about Lin Feng and the Pall Chamber of Commerce. The intelligence department was very competent. They investigated all the causes and effects in the shortest time possible.

“A planetary lifeform sympathized with the Auricles and charged into the Roya Imperial Planet in a fit of anger to eliminate the Pall Chamber of Commerce?”

Although the Roya Empire was an empire, it had a parliamentary system. The ministers of every department had great authority. The emperor of the empire was more like an adjudicator who had the final say.

The one who spoke was the emperor of the empire. His expression was calm, but there was some dissatisfaction in his tone.

“Although it’s understandable, the Roya Galaxy has already enjoyed thousands of years of peace. No cultivator or faction can violate the rules of the empire. This cultivator has already broken the rules of the empire and damaged the dignity of the empire. Minister of War, can the Eleventh Fleet deal with this cultivator?”

The Minister of War was a courteous gentleman. He stood up and said respectfully, “Your Majesty, according to the information, this cultivator is very likely a planetary lifeform. The Eleventh Fleet is enough to deal with a planetary lifeform, of course, but to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we should mobilize the stellar particle cannon.”

Everyone broke into discussion. The stellar particle cannon was a strategic weapon of the Roya Empire, and was one of the strongest weapons. It could blast apart a star with a single shot, and even advanced planetary lifeforms would be severely injured.

This was also the strongest guarantee that allowed the Roya Empire to occupy the Roya Galaxy.

Even though the emperor felt that the Minister of War was making a mountain out of a molehill, the Minister of War had always been prudent. In particular, since they did not know the background of this cultivator, being prudent was not uncalled for.

“Granted. Mobilize the Eleventh Fleet and the stellar particle cannon immediately. If the cultivator insists on fighting, he will see the power of the Roya Empire! The dignity of the empire cannot be violated!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The imperial conference was dismissed, and the Minister of War began to give orders to the fleet.

The massive Roya Empire was beginning to take action!
