"Lord, thereâs no need to worry. Even if the Qingming Family knows that place is the treasure site of our family, itâs still impossible for them to obtain the treasure."
"Because our family utilized the Spatial System, placing the treasure into Subspace. Without a powerful Space Talent Strong One, itâs absolutely impossible to retrieve the items inside. Moreover, the treasure system has a self-protection mechanism; they cannot lock onto the treasureâs location."
Receiving the assurance from the old monster, Jia Yanâs expression finally looked a little better.
Then his avatarâs Space Talent unfolded, observing slightly outside of the star body before nodding.
"Indeed, there is a very unique spatial aura surrounding this star. It seems that the space expert who helped your family set up this treasure site back then was quite extraordinary."
Jia Yanâs words made the old monster pause as well. He vaguely remembered that the creature who arranged the treasure was a Space Talent Semi-permanent Star existence. Yet, Lord Jia Yan, as a Venerable, could discern the extraordinariness at a glance.
To think the other party was at a Semi-permanent Star Level, which was already beyond his imagination.
Of course, Jia Yan could understand the arrangement principles of the other party and, if his true body were here, he could easily break through the setup and take the treasure without any difficulty.
But now, it was only his avatar here, and without forcibly using a black hole, it was absolutely impossible to achieve.
So he thought for a moment and still asked the old monster.
"Then tell me, how should we obtain this treasure now? But donât worry, I only need the essence blood from inside, the rest can be left for you to rebuild the family."
"Thank you, Lord Jia Yan. This treasure requires our familyâs bloodline to possibly open it. However, after these thousands of years, Iâm not sure if that method will still work."
The old monster had just finished speaking when Jia Yan did not respond to him.
Instead, Jia Yan slightly furrowed his brow and then looked towards the distant horizon.
As it turned out, above those two ecological habitable stars, a fleet of battleships was flying rapidly.
"Hmph, it seems your adversary family has arrived. Old monster, go down and find a way to enter the treasure site. There are no Venerables on that asteroid, and with your strength, you should be able to handle it. As for this arriving fleet, leave it to me."
A fierce killing intent flickered in Jia Yanâs eyes.
"Alright, Lord, be careful."
The old monster, seeing Jia Yanâs confident expression, inexplicably believed that Jia Yan could resist that huge fleet.
He flew out of the hyperspeed ship, descending towards the star body where the treasure resided.
Jia Yan, on the other hand, docked the hyperspeed ship at a somewhat distant place; after all, returning to the Orion Arm relied on it, and it must not be damaged here.
Passing through Subspace, he arrived directly in front of the rapidly approaching fleet.
"Honorable Venerable, do you know the whereabouts of the one who killed my Qingming Family member?"
Jia Yan intercepted in front of the fleet; within the 200 battleships, a voice rang out.
The voice belonged to a creature similar in appearance to one Jia Yan had killed earlier, and now he gazed at Jia Yan before the starry sky, his eyes betraying a hint of gravity.
As a Secondary Level existence, he had a certain perception of any powerful creature.
Although a mere Venerable stood before his fleet, and normally he could easily kill several with a sneeze, he was somewhat cautious towards the Venerable before him.
So even though he had already identified the person before him as the murderer of his son, he did not immediately explode.
If the other partyâs power was truly formidable, then not pursuing it was also acceptable. He had too many offspring, losing one or two didnât matter. Fighting a strong one for a single offspring was not worthwhile.
Upon hearing his words, Jia Yan, who stood before the fleet, gave a faint glance.
His eyes were like sharp arrows, making the Secondary Level creature feel as if Jia Yan, across the vast distance, saw through him completely.
"So it was indeed someone from your Qingming Family, huh? Well, no need to search further, the one who killed him is me. He was disrespectful to me, so I killed him."
Jia Yan said casually.
"How bold!"
"To dare to kill a direct descendant of the Qingming Family and still act so arrogantly is simply courting death."
Warriors inside the Qingming Family battleships roared in extreme anger.
The Qingming Family was one of the top two families in a star system rich in materials, nearly the pinnacle of the top. Where would any strong one dare to show disrespect to members of the Qingming Family?
Let alone killing a Young Master of their Qingming Family, this was already a matter that could not be resolved with capital punishment.
Not to mention, they had come to investigate, and the opposing side held such an attitudeâit was utterly outrageous.
"My friend, my Qingming Family bears no grudges against you. Why did you kill my son? Even if my son had a verbal disagreement with you, it wouldnât warrant your killing him outright."
The Secondary Powerhouse from the Qingming Family, eyes almost burning with intense rage, considering he was one of the Secondary Powerhouses of the Qingming Family, known for his bad temper. For him to bear this much was already quite extraordinary.
"Is that your son? As I said, your son showed disrespect to me, so I killed him. If he was your son, itâs your fault for being ill-disciplined and neglectful. Now tell me, how should you compensate me?"
The words Jia Yan spoke were almost unreasonable. Hearing this, the Qingming Familyâs guards and soldiers could barely hold back from tearing Jia Yan into pieces.
The Secondary Level who conversed with Jia Yan couldnât hold back either.
Although his son didnât care, his reputation was important. The more the other party spoke, the more aggressive they became, clearly looking for trouble.
"Bastard, how dare you disrespect me. Just a mere dignitary, now let me show you that the Qingming Family is not easy to kill."
The Secondary Powerhouse shouted, "Take action."
Then he himself flew out of the battleship, and a group of vessels with dignitaries on board also flew out, each battleship aiming at Jia Yanâs location.
Jia Yanâs avatar, with the appearance of an Earth personâs build, looked utterly insignificant and as small as dust in the vast universe, compared to the gigantic creatures and battleships.
The opponent also thought that this arrogant dignitary would perish directly in a single fleet main cannon salvo.
Under the starry sky, the old monster had already reached the treasure asteroid and was quickly moving around certain parts of the celestial body.
"Lord Jia Yan, please be safe."
The old monster lifted his gaze and looked at the battlefield in the starry sky, seeing so many battleships and strong ones, his heart couldnât help but skip a beat.
You must know he had lived for thousands of years and never seen so many strong ones.
There are even Secondary Powerhouses. Can Lord Jia Yan, a dignitary, deal with them?
"No matter, I just need to do what I can, even if I have to die, Iâll die in the site of the familyâs treasure, even destroy it so the Qingming Family wonât get it."
With this ruthless thought, he began searching even faster.
But strong ones also existed on this asteroid, and having discovered the old monsterâs presence, they flew towards him, ready for a small-scale battle to unfold.
Of course, the battle on the asteroid was a small matter compared to the one in the universe.
A salvo aimed at Jia Yanâs tiny Earthly body, fired abruptly!
Almost instantly, a hundred cannons roared throughout the starry sky, overshadowing the distant stellar light.
"A dignitary, die!"
The Qingming Familyâs Secondary Powerhouse, flying through the universe, looked at the dignitary who vanished in the blaze of cannon fire, his face twisted with laughter.
This is the consequence of daring to offend the Qingming Family.
This dignitary had high airs; he thought he was a formidable presence, but as the cannon fire burst, it seemed he couldnât even dodge, and was swallowed by the fire.
Nothing but a silver spear wax gun head, a mere show.
"Haha, I thought Iâd need to act personally, this kind of creature can actually cultivate to dignitary level, what a joke."
He chuckled, ready to return to his battleship.
"Hmm?"
The next instant, his expression froze, and he turned his head.
Not far from his side, outside a battleship, a tiny being with an indifferent expression walked out from a torn-open space.
Then, the being faintly activated its Brainwave Power, causing all creatures inside the battleship to die instantly.
"Subspace Talent?!"
The Secondary Powerhouse from the Qingming Family was shocked and quickly retreated, almost rushing into the battleship.
"This is bad; itâs a Subspace Talent, a terrifying talent above Space Talent. Strong ones with this talent often defeat enemies beyond their level; no wonder heâs so arrogant."
This Qingming Family strong one was quite knowledgeable, recognizing the Subspace Talent. Meanwhile, the Subspace Talent in his words had turned into a fearsome ability to defeat enemies beyond oneâs level.
While Space Talent is common in the Genius Battlefield, out in the universe, it is undoubtedly synonymous with genius. Itâs normal for him to think Jia Yanâs avatar could defeat enemies beyond levels, as he was merely an ordinary talent Secondary Level. In the Genius Battlefield, any Secondary Level could easily overpower him, even a random Ordinary Respectful One could kill him beyond levels.
So he was scared.
"Ha, you have sharp eyes."
Seeing him attempting to flee directly, Jia Yan snorted coldly with an indifferent expression.
The avatar recently received a lot of energy from the true body, now is the time to exhibit combat power!
He stepped into Subspace, reaching a battleship still firing at him.
The opponentâs firepower could never hit Jia Yan because he could enter Subspace beforehand.
Compared to the battleships seen in the Genius Battlefield, the Qingming Familyâs vessels were like toys. Of course, the avatarâs strength could not match the true body, unable to instantaneously destroy all opposition.
However, itâs quite close. Jia Yan stepped into Subspace repeatedly, appearing outside one battleship after another, faintly activating Brainwave Power, causing the creatures inside to completely perish.
"How is this possible! Itâs one thing that heâs a Subspace Genius, but whatâs with this Brainwave Power, even dignitaries die instantly when touched by it?"
The fleeing Qingming Familyâs Secondary Powerhouse witnessed Jia Yan in pursuit, cutting through effortlessly, and was scared out of his wits.
