Chapter 486 - Infiltration

Planet Aquarius, Commander’s Mansion.

Brother Sheng warped carefully through the Commander’s Mansion. No one who came and went actually discovered him. This was an artifact made by Brother Sheng’s father. It contained spatial power. As long as one was not an advanced planetary cultivator, or he gave himself away by accident, basically no one would discover him.

There were many people coming and going here, including some cultivators who had undergone five life transitions. For example, an old man in front emitted a dense murderous aura. There was no knowing how many people he had killed.

There was also a woman in front. She was as cold as ice, and there was a strange, frigid power in her body. It was also very terrifying, and even Brother Sheng was a little spooked. With Brother Sheng’s insight from more than ten years of experience, neither of them was inferior to him.

If the two of them joined forces, they could even take him down. The Commander’s Mansion was indeed extraordinary.

“Where is Lan Jing being held?”

Brother Sheng searched carefully and found nothing. He did not dare to reveal his true form, or Chi Feng would definitely discover him. Facing a powerful planetary lifeform like Commander Chi Feng, Brother Sheng was not confident that he could escape.

Although he had already sent a distress message to his father, Brother Sheng still couldn’t hold it in. He wanted to see Lan Jing’s current situation with his own eyes. He could not be assured unless he saw Lan Jing with his own eyes.

Hence, Brother Sheng infiltrated the Commanders’ Mansion, but did not find Lan Jing.

“If I were Chi Feng, where would I lock up Lan Jing?”

Brother Sheng thought about it carefully. If Chi Feng wanted to obtain the technique of the artifact on Lan Jing, he would definitely torture her severely. There were too many people in the Commander’s Mansion for interrogation.

Then, only the dungeon was left.

“The dungeon, the dungeon of the Commander’s Mansion!”

Brother Sheng’s eyes lit up. He began to search around for the direction to the underground dungeon. He really found it. It was behind the fake mountain in the Commander’s Mansion. Brother Sheng had entered the dungeon silently.

There were still some lights in the dim dungeon. Just as Brother Sheng was looking around for Lan Jing, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the dungeon.

“Lan Jing!”

Brother Sheng clenched his fists and immediately went over.

“Lan Jing, Lan Jing, wake up.”

In the dim dungeon, Lan Jing was already in a daze. Her entire body was covered in blood, and her combat body was sealed. She could not even deploy her combat body. Every lash of the whip struck her body in incomparable pain.

Even though Lan Jing’s willpower was strong, she was still a little delirious after enduring torture for so long.

Lan Jing woke up slowly. When she saw Brother Sheng, her entire body trembled, and her turbid eyes seemed to clear up all of a sudden.

“Brother Sheng, you… Why are you here?”

“When you didn’t arrive on time for the three-year agreement, I knew that something had happened to you. So, I investigated your matter and came here. Lan Jing, I’ve come late and you’ve suffered!”

Seeing Lan Jing like this, Brother Sheng’s heart ached terribly. He even developed a killing intent towards Chi Feng for torturing Lan Jing to such a state.

Lan Jing smiled and said, “Brother Sheng, this isn’t your fault. This is my fate. Unfortunately, I won’t rest in peace until I kill my enemy, Chi Shan!”

“No, Lan Jing, you won’t die. Of course you have to deal with your enemy yourself. When I save you, you will definitely be able to take revenge with your own hands!”

“Save me? Brother Sheng, don’t be rash. I’m already in this state. There’s no hope. You should leave quickly. No one can save me, no matter who. You don’t understand, you don’t understand…”

Tears streamed down Lan Jing’s face. She really did not want Brother Sheng to take the risk for her.

“What is there to not understand? Isn’t it just about Commander Chi Feng, a planetary cultivator? Don’t worry, I can definitely deal with him. Once he’s dealt with, won’t you be safe?”

Brother Sheng stared at Lan Jing intensely.

Lan Jing was surprised that Brother Sheng did not seem to think much of Commander Chi Feng. That was a planetary lifeform. She had cultivated for so long, but she had only undergone five life transitions.

Moreover, she seemed to have reached her limit after five life transitions, and had no clue about the sixth life transitions at all. She might not have the chance to metamorphose into a planetary lifeform even in hundreds or thousands of years.

Every planetary lifeform was not to be underestimated.

“Brother Sheng, no, you really don’t understand. It’s not just about Chi Feng. Chi Feng is the commander of the Prime Dragon Domain. Who would dare to attack Chi Feng in the Prime Dragon Domain? Once they attack, it won’t just be a matter about Chi Feng, but a matter for the entire Prime Dragon Domain! Dominus Prime Dragon is a famous Venerable in the North River Galaxy.”

Lan Jing’s expression was miserable. She had long thought everything through. Hence, she would not “take her anger out” on Chi Shan’s other family members at all, let alone seek revenge on Chi Feng.

Even now, when she was captured by Chi Feng, she only wanted to kill Chi Shan, and never thought of killing Chi Feng, who was torturing her, because she felt that this was impossible.

“Venerable Prime Dragon!”

Brother Sheng frowned slightly. Venerable Prime Dragon was indeed troublesome. He was also a Venerable, and a famous one at that. Just look at the Prime Dragon Domain. There were a total of 108 territorial stars, which was only slightly less than the Vigil Domain. It was even stronger than the Vigil Domain before it annexed the Oceanus Domain.

As for whether his father was a match for Venerable Prime Dragon, Brother Sheng did not know. Who could guarantee such a thing?

This Venerable Prime Dragon was indeed troublesome.

Seeing that Brother Sheng was in a difficult position, Lan Jing shook her head and smiled weakly. “Brother Sheng, there’s no need to think about it anymore. I’ve already accepted my fate. Even if I die this time, I’ll accept my fate. I don’t seek revenge, but if Chi Feng wants my artifact, I will never give it to him! Brother Sheng, take my artifact. Since you can come here safely, you can definitely get out. Take the artifact, and I’ll give you the technique for controlling it. Brother Sheng, forget about me after this.”

Lan Jing’s face was filled with determination. Her heart was also agonized. In the past ten years, she and Brother Sheng had gone through thick and thin together. They had been so carefree. Those ten years were the happiest time of her life.

In fact, she had long given her heart to him, but even so, what could it come to? She bore a blood feud, and knew that there was no hope in this life. This was her fate, and she had to resign herself to it. Hence, she could only hide her feelings deep down. There was already enough misery and suffering for herself. She could not drag Brother Sheng into this.

“Lan Jing, don’t worry, I’ll definitely get you out!”

Brother Sheng did not take the artifact. How could he just watch Lan Jing die?

“Brother Sheng, you…”

Lan Jing immediately grew anxious. At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

Lan Jing’s face turned pale. She hurriedly said, “Brother Sheng, leave now. Chi Feng is here. He comes to interrogate me about the technique for the artifact every day. Leave now, don’t let Chi Feng discover you.”

“Chi Feng!”

Brother Sheng bit his lip. He knew that Lan Jing was going to be tortured again, but he could not act on impulse. He could only take a deep breath and activate the artifact.

Immediately, Brother Sheng’s figure gradually disappeared, as if he had never appeared just now.

Lan Jing also heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.
