Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1284: Tensions and Turning Points

At that moment, one of Ignis’Kai’s guards suddenly unleashed a powerful aura.

The energy solidified and shot straight toward Rafael.

Rafael’s expression remained unchanged as an equally formidable force burst forth from him.

The two invisible forces clashed in midair, whipping up violent gusts of wind that howled through the negotiation hall.

In this initial confrontation, they were almost evenly matched.

"Have you all forgotten? This is the Crimson Moon Dynasty Palace." The Crimson Snake Emperor’s voice was low and menacing.

To act so brazenly in his presence—did they still have any regard for him?

Ignis’Kai’s expression remained icy. "The Crimson Snake Emperor, it seems you have no real intention of negotiating. First, your people killed my people. Now, you publicly provoke and humiliate us. If you were in my position, would you tolerate this?"

"Prince Ignis’Kai, you are mistaken. It was your people who attacking them first. What, are we supposed to just sit there and take it? What kind of absurd rule is that?"

Ignis’Kai turned his gaze toward the speaker, Sharif, who appeared to be just an ordinary human. "And who the hell are you? Do you think you have the right to speak here?"

"I am Sharif Valencia, a minister of the Draconis Empire from the Erythar Star System. Since your issue is with the Erythar Star System, I naturally have the right to speak." Sharif continued, "I’ve long heard of the aliens’ arrogance, and today I see that the rumors were true. But while you may be powerful, you are not omnipotent. Last night’s events were simply a lesson—to let you know that, yes, the technology and civilization of higher-dimensional beings like yourselves are indeed impressive. But that’s all. You are strong, but you fail to realize that there are always those stronger than you. ’There is always a sky beyond the sky, and people beyond people’—perhaps you’ve never heard this saying before. But no matter. You’ve heard it now."

Not only Ignis’Kai but also Sol’Rae and Prince Var’Thal’s faces had darkened to the point of resembling black holes.

"The people of the Erythar Star System certainly think highly of themselves." Prince Var’Thal’s gaze was chilling. "You think just because you managed to seize one or two battleships, you can roam the universe unchecked?"

Sharif smiled faintly. "Of course not. But the fact that we seized them proves we are capable. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have taken two battleships so easily."

At these words, the expressions of the aliens present grew even colder.

They had only seen one battleship hovering near Planet Omicron and weren’t sure whether the Erythar Star System had also captured the second one.

Now, hearing this confirmation from the other side’s own mouth, they couldn’t help but be shocked.

If just one battleship had fallen into their hands, it might have been excusable.

But for two intact battleships to be taken by the Erythar Star System?

That was simply astonishing.

The other seven star systems were equally stunned—except for the Crimson Moon Dynasty, which had already learned of this through its own informants.

At last, everyone understood why the The Crimson Snake Emperor had sided with the Erythar Star System without hesitation, even stepping in to defend them. freewebnøvel.com

"The Erythar Star System truly knows how to make an entrance," the The Crimson Snake Emperor’s laughter broke through the increasingly tense atmosphere.

"Your Majesty flatters us. It was merely luck." Sharif replied humbly.

He was telling the truth.

If not for encountering Amalia and Kenny Lin, the Erythar Star System might not have lasted this long—the Nine Great Star Systems could have already become Eight.

However, to the aliens, his words sounded especially grating, as though he was deliberately mocking them.

Ignis’Kai could no longer contain his fury.

His palm slammed down on the table, shattering it entirely.

"It seems this negotiation is going nowhere."

Ignis’Kai’s icy gaze locked onto The Crimson Snake Emperor. "The Crimson Snake Emperor, if you do not deal with these two and give the Scaldriths Clan a proper explanation, we will not let this matter rest. Handle it however you see fit."

"What arrogance. Does the Scaldriths Clan still think it’s as powerful as it was a year ago?" General Rafiq’s face darkened.

Ignis’Kai cast a cold glance at General Rafiq, but he didn’t bother acknowledging an insignificant figure.

The atmosphere in the negotiation hall grew heavier, an oppressive silence filled with unspoken hostilities.

Prince Sol’Rae and Prince Var’Thal remained silent, they just watching coldly from the sidelines.

Outside the Crimson Moon Dynasty Palace, hundreds of miles away in the outskirts, the land had turned into ruins, with gray-black smoke billowing into the sky, making the sky grow increasingly murky.

The battle between Pleiadian Ascendancy and the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth had even destroyed the embassies building and the estates where the aliens resided.

The collapsed buildings spoke of the tragic devastation.

After Kenny Lin took Layya away, Musa led Yun and a few others to find Zehaan.

Only when they saw he was unharmed did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

They later learned from him that he had been besieged by the Storm Claw Overlord and two others.

Fortunately, he encountered Amalia.

Zehaan hadn’t caught all the details of their conversation at the time, but he could vaguely tell that Amalia and the Storm Claw Overlord seemed to have some kind of deep-seated grudge—one that was far from ordinary.

Upon hearing this, Musa finally confirmed one thing: there was a ninety percent chance that they had come for the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth.

"Who would have thought that the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth would get entangled with the people of the Erythar Star System? When they are eventually annihilated, they would never have imagined that their downfall was due to something they had always considered insignificant."

Musa sighed deeply.

When the great battle began, and he discovered that Layya had also arrived, he thought that this was the moment of life and death for Pleiadian Ascendancy.
