C282 Star King Totem
C282 Star King Totem
Xiangjiang, a certain port.
A luxurious cruise ship slowly approached the shore, and three people walked off it.
The leader was a young man, only around 27 or 28 years old on the surface. He had golden hair that was as bright and beautiful as golden flames, and his face was as handsome as if it had been carved out of gems. He had a noble aura about him, especially his pair of blue eyes, which were as deep as the sea.
Beside him on the right was an old man with a face full of wrinkles. The old man had his head lowered and his eyes downcast, seeming as if he was about to fall asleep.
The last person was a female. She was wearing black-coloured tight clothes, and her head was tightly wrapped by a hat. She had a beautiful body, but her face was filled with pockmarks. It could not even be described as ugly anymore and it was simply unbearable to look at.
Most importantly, her pair of eyes looked extremely strange. Her blank expression made it seem as if she had lost her soul. Occasionally, a faint black fog would emit from her eyes, making her look extremely strange.
"The smell of night is the same everywhere!"
The young man stopped and raised his head to take a deep breath. He looked up at the cold crescent moon in the sky, and the expression on his face was one of ecstasy.
The housekeeper didn't reply. The ugly woman with the pockmarked face continued to remain silent as she looked into the distance with a lifeless look.
"Koester, you are so boring."
The young man smiled elegantly and turned around to look at the ugly woman. His gaze was extremely complicated, as if he was admiring a perfect piece of art. "Am I right, dear Sandy!"
Seemingly knowing that the woman would not answer him, he turned and walked away.
This was a secret port and no one had investigated it along the way. Other than the two or three black-clothed men, there was no one else.
As they walked out of the port, seven or eight black luxury cars stopped silently. In front of them, a dozen men dressed in black stood there respectfully.
"Star …"
Just as they were about to speak, suddenly, the old man beside the young man, whose originally turbid eyes flashed with a cold light, immediately stopped talking. Bowing slightly, he respectfully opened the car door.
"Earl Siess, you did a great deed this time."
Before they got in the car, the young man said that with a warm smile on his handsome face. However, those simple words made the middle-aged man's forehead drip with cold sweat. His body even trembled slightly, not daring to speak.
"Hehe, no need to be nervous. I should be thanking you, shouldn't I?"
The young man chuckled again as he turned around and got into the car. The butler and the ugly woman also followed him into the car.
The luxurious car was extremely spacious, and there was even an exquisite small coffee table in the middle. On the coffee table was a transparent goblet with wine that was as red as fresh blood.
"Star King, please forgive me. I originally wanted to steal the Origin Core and personally give it to you, but I didn't expect some unforeseen event …"
The moment they got in the car, Earl Siess quickly opened his mouth with a face full of fear and trepidation. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the young man.
"No, no, no. Earl Siess, I'm not blaming you. We're friends, right?"
The smile on the young man's face was like the spring breeze. He reached out his hand to pick up the wine cup on the tea table, shook it with the viscous liquid inside and gently took a sip. Then, he drank it all in one gulp.
"Earl Siess, you're being considerate. The blood of a virgin from the East is truly delicious." He licked the residue on the corner of his mouth, and said with a look of enjoyment: "I am really looking forward to this trip to the east, hehehe, unlike the Misty Capital, Her Majesty the Queen and the Prime Minister have been pressuring us constantly, our living space is getting smaller and smaller, and now, we can't even kill people, let alone enjoy the beautiful soul journey, am I right, Earl Siess?"
Earl Siess lightly wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly nodded without hesitation. "I will follow Star King's instructions."
Star King!
Star King was a very special title in the Mutant Race. He represented a family's highest combat power, as well as the highest authority, and was the highest level existence in the Mutant Race.
"Star King, we should keep a low profile this time, so as to not attract the attention of the other families. If we let them know that the altar which holds the head of the twelve Origin Cores is in Xiangjiang, our chances are slim."
The one who spoke was the old housekeeper. Hearing this, Star King's eyes flashed and he immediately smiled warmly. At this moment, the old butler's voice sounded again.
"Also, the East is a miraculous situation. Before the fall of the Roman Empire, your father, Old Star King, almost broke his halberd in the East Sand. According to the information given to us by the Japan, it seems that those people have appeared again."
"A mysterious cultivator of the East?" Star King still had a gentle smile on his face as he asked, "What about Musashi Family?"
"Yes." The butler's expression was very serious, "Star King, the practitioners of the East are our nemesis. Moreover, they call us evil."
"Heh heh, what an interesting way to deal with evil."
He shook his head slowly and said, "I've checked the records of the Eastern cultivators, they seem to need endless heaven and earth spiritual energy to cultivate. After five hundred years, the earth has lost its spiritual energy, and those cultivators no longer exist."
We can extract the blood of virgins, the life force of humans, and even the aura of darkness, all to survive in this way. This is also the greatest advantage that we have inherited to this day, and we also have a twelve source core. If we can collect all twelve source cores, then this world will be ours, and all humans will become our slaves.
Hearing this, the steward shook his head and sighed without a word.
"..."
What Star King's group didn't know was that Hee Xinqiong already knew about their information the moment he walked out of the port.
In the underground chamber, a large screen was flashing. In the screen, it was exactly the looks of Star King, the butler, and the ugly woman.
These photos weren't taken today. They were taken three days ago when she received the news, which was why she launched her revenge. That was why she revealed a confident and confident attitude when Zhang Yang had warned her.
"Haven't you found out yet?" Staring at the young man on the screen, Hee Xinqiong asked with a frown.
"I'm sorry, Miss Hee. Even though the information team from Fog City exhausted all their methods, we were unable to find his identity. This person seemed to have appeared out of nowhere without any information."
Black-clothed Man stood respectfully on the side with a look of unease on his face.
"No information?" Hee Xinqiong raised her eyebrows, and the scene changed to the butler's photo, "This person called Koester has quite a high position in Cook Family, his attitude towards this young man …"
She didn't say anything else, nor did she make any assumptions. Instead, she saw a mysterious figure dressed in a black robe and a hat. The figure seemed to be a woman, although her facial features couldn't be seen clearly.
"What about this woman? What is her identity?"
"Sorry, Miss Hee, he was the same as that young man, there was no... "No trace …" Black-clothed Man's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, he was obviously very nervous.
Hearing this, Hee Xinqiong's face showed displeasure. She hated to see something that was out of her control, but she knew that she had to do her best to not be too harsh.
"Alright, you may leave."
Black-clothed Man quickly left as if he had just been shocked by lightning. Hee Xinqiong pondered for a moment and looked at Violent Woman beside her.
"Su Dan, go inform those experts later, tomorrow at noon, when the sun is at its brightest, move. Although those monsters can transform under the sunlight, their combat power will be reduced to the weakest, and some other Mutant s don't even dare to transform under the sunlight. This time, they must definitely leave all of them here, not a single one left!"
Hee Xinqiong was as dignified as a female general, her gaze resolute and decisive!
"Alright."
"..."
It was a quiet night. The next day at noon, the weather was clear and cloudless. The sun was blazing in the sky.
At the foot of the mountain of Big Hat Mountain in the New Realm of the Xiangjiang, an ordinary villa sat quietly.
Big Hat Mountain was also known as the Great Fog Mountain because of the frequent occurrence of heavy fog. Although the sun was high in the city, there was still a haze that had yet to completely disperse.
Moreover, the villa was surrounded by dense trees, the leaves of which were connected to each other, casting a shadow over the entire villa.
The surroundings of the villa were very quiet. If one were to observe carefully, it would seem that no one had lived in the surrounding five or six villas for a very long time.
In the living room.
A handsome young man around the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight sat upright on a bench, naturally exuding a feminine yet sunny temperament. A smile akin to the spring wind hung on his face.
It was the Cook Family Patriarch, the young man who was called Star King.
There were more than 30 people gathered on both sides of the hall. They discussed in low voices while looking at Star King, who was sitting on the bench. All of them closed their mouths at the same time.
"Regardless of whether it is in time, place, or night, it will always be the world of our race. Therefore, I have decided to attack tonight and let that Oriental woman know how powerful and terrifying we are. I want her to kneel at my feet and repent!"
Star King's tone was filled with unspeakable confidence and haughtiness. This originated from the contempt in his heart. It was definitely not the domineering attitude of the second generation. It was an instinctive confidence of the strong in the face of the weak.
"Everyone, I am not joking. Teaching that Oriental woman a lesson is just a convenience. Our goal is the altar of the first place of the Origin Core. We must obtain it no matter the cost."
The crowd answered in unison. Star King nodded in satisfaction and glanced at the old butler beside him.
What was worth it was that the ugly woman with the black pockmarks was not in the room. At this moment, the old housekeeper's voice sounded.
"Perhaps you still don't know, but our Cook Family has already acquired one of the twelve Origin Cores. This time Star King brought the Origin Core, which is the totem of the Origin Core, with him. If we can obtain the altar, then our Cook Family will have two Origin Cores, enough to send our clan to the pyramid of the hidden elements!"
The crowd was stunned at his words. Then, shock appeared on their faces, before they turned into excitement and fanaticism in an instant.
They were all shocked by the news. They never thought that Star King would actually obtain an Origin Core. Furthermore, it was the most mysterious totem among the twelve Origin Cores!
Star King smiled gently. His voice was filled with temptation.
"My children, if our family becomes the top clan in the hidden attribute, and all of this is thanks to you, then all the members of the family will have an unreachable status, and I can even fight for the opportunity to absorb the demonic energy …"
As these words came out, the members of the audience became even more fervent. It was obvious that absorbing the demonic energy was an irresistible temptation.
