Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1260: The Alien Royals and a Baited Hook

"You’re back. The Crimson Moon Dynasty Royal Family sent over information on the aliens—it’s quite detailed. They seem sincere about this. Also, Khalil wanted to ask you a few cultivation-related questions."

Kenny Lin was lounging on the sofa with his legs propped up on the coffee table, flipping through the documents in a relaxed manner.

"You go ahead and read. I’ll check on them."

After teaching Javier and his sister, as well as the humans in the town, Amalia had already gained some experience in guiding others.

Khalil and the others had started cultivating even later than Javier’s group, so their progress was slower.

Most of their questions were ones she had already answered before.

By the time she returned, it was nighttime.

"How does it feel to be a teacher?" Kenny Lin, ever the idler, sat with one leg crossed over the other, watching her with amusement as she walked in.

"Not great. If you want to gain something, you always have to pay a price."

To be honest, teaching wasn’t really her thing.

It was manageable in the short term, but if she had to do it long-term, it would interfere with too many of her plans.

Thinking about this, Amalia decided she should train a few more people.

That way, she would only need to step in for major events while letting them handle everything else.

She could just be the hands-off leader.

"Did you finish reading the information on the aliens? What do you think?"

"The royal bloodlines among the aliens are definitely not ordinary. Their lineage is significantly superior, and they can take human form. The royal family is mainly divided into four major races: the Solaryx clan, the Umbrathari Clan, the Scaldriths clan, and a fourth race that remains mysterious—no one has seen them yet. The first three royal clans are all within the Pleiades Star System. Although the Pleiades forces forced the aliens into a ceasefire, they still wiped out several thousand planets. Right now, they are gathering west of the Pleiades Star System."

"Is there a difference between the alien royal family and the ordinary alien races?" Amalia sat down beside him.

"Of course there is. Alien royals are extremely powerful in one-on-one combat, especially when they revert to their original forms. Cosmorite mechas have limited amplification effects on them and can’t fully unleash their potential. That’s why royal clans rarely use Cosmorite mechas. Additionally, Emberion Core have little to no adverse effects on them."

Amalia pondered for a moment. "So, are alien royals born with immense power? Or do they cultivate like humans, gradually increasing their strength? If it’s the latter, how exactly do they cultivate?"

"You’re sharp—you caught onto that quickly." Kenny Lin rested his chin on her shoulder and nuzzled against her affectionately. "Alien royals do cultivate, but the Crimson Moon Dynasty hasn’t yet discovered their exact cultivation methods. All we know is that it might be related to the Solvaris Star System."

"The Solvaris Star System again?" Amalia furrowed her brows.

"It’s said that humans from other star systems have also been transported to the Solvaris Star System by the aliens. There’s likely some secret they’re trying to hide there." Kenny Lin suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right—six days from now, there’s a negotiation meeting. According to the intel, it’s also connected to the Solvaris Star System."

Amalia suddenly realized something. "Why is the Crimson Moon Dynasty being so generous this time, giving us such detailed information?"

Kenny Lin wrapped an arm around her waist, absentmindedly stroking her side as he said, "Generosity always comes with an agenda. They’re probably trying to win us over. Whether it’s Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth or Pleiadian Ascendancy, in this universe where the laws limit them from breaking through to higher realms, their lifespans are finite. Some of them must be reaching the end of their ropes by now. Then suddenly, they discover two people with cultivation levels surpassing theirs—it’s only natural they’d have thoughts about it. The Crimson Moon Dynasty reacted quickly; if they had waited even one more day, the situation might have taken a completely different turn."

"You have a plan?" Amalia recalled that someone had once mentioned placing his statue in another star system.

"Do you think it’s impossible?"

"The Pleiades Star System is not an easy place to operate."

Amalia doubted that the people of Pleiades would accept someone from the Erythar Star System.

Even though they were part of the same universe, different star systems still treated each other as ’aliens.’

"We’ll give it a try." Kenny Lin wasn’t about to go out of his way to help them unless there was something in it for him.

Just like that, three uneventful days passed.

Finally, the reply from Iron Howler Overlord No. 5 came through the terminal they had taken from Mo Qingjie—this fish had finally taken the bait.

Back when Amalia had hinted about the Vanquez family, the other party agreed to meet on Planet Omicron.

However, they needed a few days since they weren’t currently on the planet.

Amalia didn’t bother verifying whether they were lying or not.

She wasn’t sure how much Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth knew about the Soltice Ring, but the fact that they had specifically sent three Heaven-ranked members to the Erythar Star System back then showed how much importance they placed on it.

Still, the other party was extremely cautious and demanded a video call with Mo Qingjie.

Fortunately, they hadn’t killed Mo Qingjie yet.

They pulled him out of the Small World and made him say a single sentence to Iron Howler Overlord No. 5.

Mo Qingjie didn’t dare show even the slightest flaw. freewebnøvel.com

He knew that if he tried to hint at anything, that terrifying, suffocating pressure looming over him would instantly crush him into dust.

Not being a good person himself, he felt no loyalty toward Iron Howler Overlord No. 5—if more people ended up in the same predicament as him, his chances of survival would only increase.
