Chapter 389 - Someone Sending Money?

“Longbetham, look, someone will be sending money to us.”

Lin Feng sat leisurely in the provision shop, his expression very relaxed.

Longbetham did not know what to say. Was this sending money? This was extortion! However, would the Skull Chamber of Commerce be extorted? It was very doubtful.

“Master, the Skull Chamber of Commerce is quite powerful in the Roya Star. Is it too dangerous for us to stay here?”

“Dangerous? The planet annihilator battleships?”

“Yes, Master. Although it is unlikely for the Skull Chamber of Commerce to use the planet annihilator battleships on the Roya Imperial Planet, they also have similar weapons. Once the power is within control, Master might also be in danger.”

“Is that so? Can the power of the planet annihilation cannons kill planetary lifeforms?”

Longbetham thought for a moment and said, “It is very difficult! Although the planet annihilation cannon is said to be able to destroy planets and injure planetary lifeforms, that is just a claim. A planetary lifeform is not a planet. Every planetary lifeform has its own unique properties. It is very difficult to kill a planetary lifeform completely.”

“Although the planet annihilator battleships seem very powerful, against a planetary lifeform fighting for its life, any number of planet annihilation cannons are useless.”

This was the difference between cultivational and technological civilizations. Cultivators had many methods, and in terms of combat power, they were actually stronger! Technological civilizations, on the other hand, triumphed in numbers.

For example, if one planet annihilator battleship did not work, then ten, a hundred, even a thousand, or ten thousand would do.

If those powerful technological civilizations took action, they could mobilize billions of terrifying battleships to fight against those great galactic lifeforms.

However, how many planet annihilator battleships could the Skull Chamber of Commerce send? One, or two?

Although Lin Feng was not a planetary lifeform, he had the Spear of Destruction, a terrifying Origin Weapon. Once it was activated, he would not be inferior to a planetary lifeform at all.

Moreover, Lin Feng also grasped two Laws that had reached the planetary level, the Law of Tides and the Law of Annihilation.

Lin Feng had nothing to fear as long as he was not facing hundreds or thousands of planet annihilator battleships at the same time. Why should Lin Feng be wary of a mere Skull Chamber of Commerce?

“We happen to be short of money too. Don’t worry, I’m taking this money for sure!”

Lin Feng would not feel any guilt from “extorting” the Skull Chamber of Commerce.

…

Bang.

The executives of the Skull Chamber of Commerce were furious.

That was the decapitation squad. The decapitation squad that could deal with beings with five life transitions had actually lost half of its members. Since the establishment of the decapitation squad, this was the first time it had suffered such heavy losses.

“President, that cultivator also asked us to send one million energy units as compensation. Otherwise… otherwise, he’ll charge to the headquarters of our Chamber of Commerce!”

With that, the Chamber of Commerce member hurriedly lowered his head. He could imagine how furious the executives of the Chamber of Commerce would be.

However, after waiting for a while, he did not see the fury of the executives of the Chamber of Commerce. Instead, their expressions became solemn.

“One million energy units. How brazen!”

A sharp glint flashed across the eyes of the executives of the Chamber of Commerce. They were still waiting for news. There were naturally some people in the Chamber of Commerce who knew a lot about cultivators. They would estimate the strength of the cultivator before preparing to take action.

None of the executives of the Chamber of Commerce were foolish. If they were, the Skull Chamber of Commerce would never have developed to this scale.

“President, according to our estimation, this cultivator shouldn’t be a planetary lifeform. However, the method he used to repel the decapitation squad should be Laws, and it’s the power of planetary Laws. We have determined that he’s a genius cultivator with outstanding talent in Laws. His background must not be simple.”

After receiving the report from the Chamber of Commerce, the executives of the Chamber of Commerce all had dark expressions.

They naturally knew what planetary Laws meant. Even many combat body martial artists might not be able to comprehend Laws, and some planetary lifeforms with weak bloodlines, such as those cosmic behemoths, could not comprehend the Law at all.

The importance of Laws was even greater than condensing the combat body!

The executives of the Skull Chamber of Commerce naturally knew the significance of being able to comprehend planetary Laws as a being that had only undergone four life transitions.

There might be a powerful entity behind Lin Feng, an advanced planetary lifeform for instance, or even an ultimate planetary lifeform.

As for the great galactic lifeforms, they did not even consider the possibility. What a joke. Great galactic lifeforms were great and renowned entities, even in the grand scope of the universe.

“Hmph, so what if he has an advanced planetary lifeform behind him? On the Roya Imperial Planet, even advanced planetary lifeforms wouldn’t dare to be impudent. This cultivator must have the cosmic coordinates of that unclaimed planet. We have to get him to spill the coordinates!”

Although this might be a little risky, the Skull Chamber of Commerce had suffered such heavy losses. If they could not recover some of their losses, the Skull Chamber of Commerce would probably lose all its prestige in the Roya Imperial Planet in the future.

“We can’t deploy planet annihilator battleships, but we have cell-freezing weapons! Hmph, this is the most reliable weapon against lifeforms below the planetary level. Once their cells are frozen, they’d be helpless, no matter how strong their combat body is. In short, we must capture this cultivator at all costs this time!”

The executives of the Chamber of Commerce quickly made a decision. Cell-freezing weapons were also considered some kind of “forbidden weapons”, and were generally controlled by the military of the Roya Empire.

However, the Skull Chamber of Commerce had an astonishing background and immense power. Obtaining such weapons was nothing.

Moreover, they would make arrangements with various personnel up and down the ranks this time. Even if they caused a huge commotion, no one would question them. This time, they would definitely capture this arrogant cultivator and interrogate him for the coordinates of the unclaimed planet.

As for the one million energy units?

No one had dared to extort the Skull Chamber of Commerce ever since it was established!

“Immediately deploy the 36,000-strong decapitation squad and take up 300 cell-freezing weapons from the secret vault. Also, send the three planet annihilator battleships to the port and stand by!”

The Skull Chamber of Commerce only had a total of five planet annihilator battleships, and they had mobilized three planet annihilator battleships at once this time.

Of course, this was only a deterrent. The Skull Chamber of Commerce would never fight a battle they were not confident in winning. If it really came down to it, no matter how great the impact of deploying the planet annihilator battleships was, they would have no choice but to take action. At most, the Skull Chamber of Commerce would pay a heavy price to make up for the losses of the Roya Empire.

The current Roya Empire no longer had as much control as before. Otherwise, how could strategic weapons like cell-freezing weapons and planet annihilator battleships fall into the hands of a mere chamber of commerce?

…

Lin Feng waited in the black market for an hour (universal hour).

“Hmm? They’re really here! However, it seems like they’re unwilling to give the one million energy units!”

A trace of coldness flashed across Lin Feng’s eyes. Actually, he had already expected this. As the local tyrant, the Skull Chamber of Commerce definitely would not yield so easily.

It seemed like Lin Feng would have to make a lot of kills today!
