Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1303: Unraveling the Connection

Kenny Lin circled the castle before entering the room where the cult stored the soul plaques of its most important members.

Apart from the plaques that had already lost their glow, the rest had been taken away.

The ones that remained lay scattered on the ground, toppled over—evidence of a hasty departure.

"Looks like they really did retreat," Amalia muttered, a shadow crossing her expression.

"They may have left, but that doesn’t mean we’ve lost our chance," Kenny Lin said with a cold snort. "An organization that large can’t just vanish into thin air. They must have a new stronghold. And if they used ships to leave this planet, someone must have noticed. If we get the Crimson Moon Dynasty to investigate, we’ll find out where they went."

With that, the two of them returned to Moonstone Base and sought out the stationed Crimson Moon Dynasty military forces.

The officer in charge was unaware of what had transpired on Planet Omicron.

When two strangers suddenly appeared, demanding an investigation into ships that had left the planet in the past two days, he naturally refused to comply.

After being forcefully suppressed by Amalia, the commanding officer, realizing their strength, reluctantly ordered his men to conduct the investigation.

As soon as the two of them left, the officer immediately reported the situation to Planet Omicron, requesting powerful cultivators to deal with these two arrogant intruders.

Fortunately, the contact on Planet Omicron was cautious and asked for their photos to be sent over.

The base was monitored inside and out, so capturing a screenshot was no challenge.

Upon seeing the two in the photos, those who had the fortune—or misfortune—of meeting Amalia and Kenny Lin before gasped in shock.

They couldn’t understand why these two terrifying figures had appeared on Planet Tetra-5892.

Without hesitation, they ordered the officer to cooperate fully.

"Don’t ask anything. Whatever they want to do, as long as it doesn’t harm the Crimson Moon Dynasty, just comply. Do not take any unnecessary actions," the contact warned with a severe expression, cutting off any further questions.

The officer, not being entirely foolish, noticed the contact’s grim expression—as if the sky were about to collapse—and felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately complied, not daring to question further.

With their cooperation, the investigation quickly bore fruit.

Early that morning, before dawn, an unregistered ship had secretly departed from Planet Tetra-5892.

Upon seeing the star chart display, Amalia zoomed out for a broader view of the star system.

As she traced the trajectory, she pinpointed the ship’s ultimate destination.

"If this ship has sufficient energy, where is the most likely refueling stop?" Amalia asked.

Remembering the strict order to cooperate, the officer provided an honest and detailed answer.

Amalia didn’t have the time to dwell on their sudden change in attitude.

Instead, another thought struck her—if the cultivation techniques had originated from the Andarion Star System, then the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth’s methods likely came from there as well.

With the Crimson Moon Dynasty’s strength at the time, they should have been able to suppress all rivals and claim the most refined cultivation techniques.

Yet, the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth’s growth had clearly outpaced Pleiadian Ascendancy’s.

The emerging pattern was clear—Pleiadian Ascendancy was weakening, while the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth was becoming stronger.

Logically, this should have been impossible.

With the Crimson Moon Dynasty backing Pleiadian Ascendancy, they should have grown even more powerful.

Clearly, there was something they didn’t know.

"We’re heading back to Planet Omicron first," Amalia decided.

Kenny Lin reached the same conclusion.

Without hesitation, they departed for Planet Omicron.

By the next day, the deep blue planet of Planet Omicron appeared before them.

The alien fleet had already left.

Disembarking from their ship, they didn’t bother going to the embassy.

Instead, they headed straight for the palace to find the Crimson Snake Emperor.

The Crimson Snake Emperor had received word the day before, learning that they had traveled to Planet Tetra-5892.

He immediately suspected that the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth’s headquarters might be there.

Ever since realizing that Amalia and Kenny Lin seemed to be targeting the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth, he had launched an investigation of his own.

That was when he discovered that the moment they had arrived on Planet Omicron, they had started gathering intelligence on the cult.

What exactly their grudge with the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth was, he still hadn’t been able to uncover.

However, for the Crimson Moon Dynasty, this was undeniably good news.

The Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth had long been a thorn in the Crimson Moon Dynasty’s side.

With alien invaders threatening them externally and the cult lurking within, waiting for an opportunity to strike, most of their forces had been devoted to fending off the aliens threats.

Any plan to eradicate the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth had been repeatedly delayed, allowing them to grow unchecked.

Everyone understood the danger of nurturing a tiger, but understanding was different from being able to act.

Until yesterday, when Amalia and Kenny Lin wiped out 90% of the cultists involved in this operation, the Crimson Moon Dynasty had never been able to strike such a decisive blow.

The Crimson Snake Emperor was fully aware that the key to repelling the alien threat and annihilating the remnants of the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth lay almost entirely in the hands of these two.

Now, even without the Grand Elder’s orders, he was more than willing to treat Amalia and Kenny Lin as honored guests.

"What brings you both here, esteemed immortals?" Retracting his scattered thoughts, the Crimson Snake Emperor cautiously inquired.

"What is the relationship between the Holy Gate of the Heaven and the Earth and Pleiadian Ascendancy?" Amalia asked bluntly, leaving the Crimson Snake Emperor momentarily stunned.
