Chapter 386 The Pseudo-Immortal Powerhouse Makes a Move
……
The Bone Star, deep within an underground rift valley.
On a simple altar built of bones and obsidian, sat a gaunt old man with skin as white as tree bark.
He was resting with his eyes closed when suddenly, as if sensing something, he abruptly opened his eyes.
In that instant, the originally dark cave seemed to be lit up with two will-o'-the-wisps, eerie and terrifying.
"Damn it! How did we get found out?!"
The old man's voice was hoarse, tinged with a hint of exasperated fear.
"I clearly used the 'Turtle Breathing Feign Death Technique,' and even my soul fluctuations dropped to the level of an ordinary person... Could it be that the Qin family's 'Heavenly Eye' has been upgraded?"
This man was none other than Tang Wei, the super criminal who shocked the entire Federation decades ago.
That is, the demon who, in order to refine the "Nine-Turn Wife-Death Gu", insanely sacrificed a small star field, causing the tragic deaths of hundreds of billions of living beings!
Back then, the Federation was furious and issued a bounty of up to 100 billion Federation dollars, and dispatched a joint pursuit team composed of hundreds of ninth-level experts.
That battle shook the galaxy, and in the end, the official announcement stated that Tang Wei had been blasted to smithereens, his soul and spirit annihilated.
Who would have thought that this old devil had actually mastered a kind of evil magic that allowed him to deceive everyone and eke out a living on this abandoned planet for decades?
He originally planned to wait until the storm had completely passed before stirring up trouble again and resurrecting his deceased wife.
But to my utter surprise, disaster struck while I was sitting at home.
The five great families searched every nook and cranny of the place in search of a "Han Feiyu" who appeared out of nowhere!
"Escape! We must escape!"
Tang Wei made a decisive decision.
Although he was a ninth-rank soldier, he was still recovering from serious injuries, and the psychological trauma left by that battle made him unwilling to confront the Federation's regular army head-on.
hum!
He formed a hand seal, and his body was instantly covered with countless black Gu worms.
He transformed into a streak of black light, about to break through the earth's layers and forcibly tear through space to escape.
However, as soon as he burst out of the ground, what greeted him was not the free starry sky, but a giant hand that blotted out the sky.
That was no ordinary giant hand of spiritual energy.
It was a hand that seemed to be formed from starlight, with the rhythm of laws flowing in its palm lines, large enough to cover most of the star field—the Hand of Heaven!
The moment this giant hand appeared, the space around the Bone Star completely froze.
The howling sandstorm has stopped.
The dark light that Tang Wei transformed into was like a fly trapped in amber, frozen stiff in mid-air, unable to move.
A fear originating from the depths of his soul caused him to let out a desperate scream.
"A fake... fake immortal?!"
"How is this possible? I'm just a wanted criminal, why would a pseudo-immortal personally intervene?!"
Tang Wei has gone mad.
He couldn't understand it.
He faked his death and escaped years ago, and there has been no news of him on the federal network in recent years.
Why would the Federation go to such lengths to find me?
Or should we just send out pseudo-immortals?
This is like using a nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito!
When did the pseudo-immortals of the Federation become so free?
Or is it that Tang Wei's influence has reached such an extent?
Unfortunately, no one would explain it to him.
Above the starry sky, an aged and indifferent voice descended like a divine decree.
"Tang Wei? That little bug who slipped through the net?"
"Hmph, perfect. I'll use your head to intimidate those disobedient scoundrels."
The speaker was none other than the pseudo-immortal ancestor of the Li family!
He was originally stationed in a nearby star system to oversee the progress of the search.
Sensing the ninth-order fluctuations here, I came over without hesitation.
For someone of his caliber, killing Tang Wei was as simple as stepping on an ant while passing by.
"No!!! Spare me!! I'll submit to the Li family! I'll be your slave..."
Tang Wei screamed desperately, begging for mercy.
But the giant hand did not pause at all, and with the will to crush everything, it slowly closed.
boom--!!!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, because all the energy was perfectly suppressed by that hand.
It's like squeezing a rotten tomato.
Tang Wei, who once struck fear into the hearts of countless people and even managed to escape from the siege of a hundred ninth-level beings, didn't even have time to let out a final scream before his body and soul were completely crushed into dust by that slap and dissipated into the cosmic dust.
As the giant hand slowly dissipated, the aged voice rang out again, resounding throughout all the surrounding warships and also spreading throughout the entire Federation via live broadcast.
"Keep searching!"
"Anyone who stands in their way, that is their fate!"
……
Tang Wei's death acted like a shot in the arm, instantly igniting public opinion across the Federation.
[Great Xia Federation News Live Broadcast]
The host was so excited that his face turned red and his voice became loud.
"Did you see that, ladies and gentlemen? This is what happens when you defy federal law!"
"Even a ninth-tier demon who has been hiding for decades is nothing but a chicken or a dog before the Federation's swift and decisive methods!"
"The pseudo-immortal ancestor personally took action, resolving the world with a single palm strike! What power! What domineering aura!"
"Let us cheer for the Li family patriarch! Let us cheer for the Great Xia Federation! Long live the Federation!"
On the screen, countless bullet comments were filled with "666", "Ancestor is mighty", and "The Federation is invincible".
Ordinary people are immersed in the pride and sense of security that comes with the rise of a great power.
In their view, this search was a great thing that benefited the country and its people.
Not only have they captured the interstellar thief, but they've also eliminated a major villain like Tang Wei. Life will definitely be more peaceful from now on.
However, not everyone was blinded by the frenzied atmosphere.
[Great Xia Federation, a certain commercial planet, underground black market bar]
In a corner booth, two men dressed in long robes were talking in hushed tones.
One of them was a chubby merchant who was looking at the strong liquor in his glass with a worried expression.
"Old Zhang, what's wrong? Tang Wei is dead, aren't you happy?"
"That's what the skinny guy across from me asked."
"I heard that he killed quite a few people in your hometown star system back then."
"Happy? I'm happy for nothing!"
The fat merchant lowered his voice, his eyes filled with bitterness and anger.
"Do you know how much my caravan lost by cooperating with their search?"
"All the cargo ships were forcibly detained for inspection, and this stoppage lasted for three days! My batch of spiritual fruits were all fresh produce, and after three days, most of their spiritual energy dissipated, turning them from top-grade to second-rate! I lost a full 30 million Federal Credits on this entire shipment!"
"And those so-called 'law enforcement teams'..."
The fat man gritted his teeth, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
"They call it a search, but what do they actually do? They just steal whatever looks good."
"One of my family's heirloom jade pieces caught the eye of a steward from the Zhao family. He said it had 'abnormal fluctuations' and wanted to take it back for appraisal."
"Appraisal? That's like throwing good money after bad! Would I dare ask for it?"
