Chapter 523: Chapter 524: Heaven Mars Star Shift Small Shop (Third Update)

“What? Lin Zhen went back to Suspended Island?”

Upon hearing the news, even Ye Hua was dumbfounded.

He never dreamed that Lin Zhen could come up with such a method to escape the pursuit.

But he had to admit that it was indeed the best way.

Having also reached the ninth level of the Space Monument, Ye Hua knew about Planetary Instantaneous Movement. If he could master it, one teleportation could take him 300,000 kilometers away. That was almost equivalent to moving at the speed of light, and it would be of great help to him.

But in the end, Lin Zhen succeeded in using this point to escape the Insect Clan’s pursuit.

With his eyes closed, Ye Hua said solemnly, “This is not good. If Lin Zhen can continue to gain something on Suspended Island, his strength will improve greatly. Although he can’t pose any threat to me for the time being, it will eventually become a huge hidden danger in the long run.”

“He must have figured out the truth and would want to take revenge for Feng Qingluan. As long as Lin Zhen has the ability, he will definitely come back for revenge.”

Ye Hua opened his eyes and asked Tianci, “What’s the reaction from the Insect Clan?”

Tianci shrugged, “The Insect Clan has erupted, and all the nests have migrated there, completely blockading Suspended Island. The ones remaining outside are just some working Insect Clan members collecting resources. All the combat bodies are there. The Mantis has sworn to fight Lin Zhen to the death.”

“Oh! Is Mantis that ruthless?”

“Yes, I heard that both Feng Qingluan and Lin Zhen had caused Mantis significant damage. His hatred for Lin Zhen is no less than ours. So, Ye Hua, you don’t have to worry too much. The inside of Suspended Island should also be dangerous, right? There might even be Space Storms. Whether Lin Zhen can come out alive is still questionable. And even if he does come out, even the Insect Clan, with all their strength, cannot defeat the Empire’s concentration camp. What can Lin Zhen do? He will surely die in the hands of the Insect Clan and won’t be able to take revenge.”

Ye Hua shook his head, “We must not be careless. Better safe than sorry.”

Tianci said, “Even if what you said is possible, Lin Zhen should be unable to come out at the moment, so we are absolutely safe in the short term.”

“You’re right, Lin Zhen can’t come out in the short term, so continuing to stay here is meaningless.”

Ye Hua stood up, “The training conditions are not good here. I’d rather go back to the Empire to practice, and don’t forget, we still have rewards to claim. Now that Lin Zhen can’t come back, shouldn’t the first place reward be mine?”

“If you get the first place, then the second place, the Marquis title, and middle-grade Heavenly Weapons are mine. Haha!”

“Let’s hope so. If you want to stay, then stay, but I’m going back to the Empire.”

“I’ll go too. With Lin Zhen unable to come out, what am I doing here? Guarding the passage? I’m not that idle. There are so many beautiful women in the Empire waiting for me to pamper them, hehe!”

Ye Hua laughed, and the two of them walked into the Passage of Light together.

He looked back at Chaotic Star River and couldn’t help but feel touched.

Over two years have passed, many things have changed, but fortunately, he still holds the number one position. He is still the lofty Ye Hua, the idol revered by thousands of people.

“Lin Zhen, even if you do come out, I won’t give you the chance for revenge. I’ll send you back to Hell again!”

Ye Hua and Tianci’s return to the Empire marked the end of the Empire’s battle in Chaotic Star River.

Even if Lin Zhen, who ranked first, remains in Chaotic Star River, it won’t change anything. People even don’t believe that Lin Zhen can return to the Empire.

The war with the Insect Clan is over, but what they are relieved about is that Ye Hua has returned.

Their hero is back, safe and sound from the Chaotic Star River.

Upon their return, Ye Hua and Tianci were treated like heroes. The Emperor granted them an audience, and the people cheered.

The people in the Kirin Holy Star greeted them with red silk for miles, and beautiful young girls offered flower garlands.

The Emperor announced the rewards for them, but not as Ye Hua anticipated. He did not grant them the first-place reward.

Originally, with the lobbying efforts of Ye Hua’s father, the World King of Machinery, Emperor Tian Haoyu had agreed to give Ye Hua the first place. However, Feng Qingluan’s master, Mixed World King, stepped in.

He simply said, “The first place is still alive. If you give out the first place reward now, wouldn’t it chill the hearts of everyone?”

Mixed World King was outstanding among the Fire Kirin World Kings. Even the Emperor had to show him respect. Moreover, his direct disciple Feng Qingluan had achieved the real first place in the battle and then perished in the Chaotic Star River, which made people respect him even more.

Because of this, in the end, the first place didn’t go to Ye Hua but was left vacant, waiting for news about Lin Zhen before making a decision.

As long as Lin Zhen lives, this first place will always be his.

Ye Hua didn’t say much. After returning, he immediately followed his father, the World King of Machinery, and practiced even harder than before.

He had always been worried about Lin Zhen, which had become the driving force for his cultivation and led to rapid progress.

As a result, the Mechanical World King once said that it may not be long before Ye Hua has the possibility of advancing to the Star Domain Stage and becoming the youngest World King in the Fire Kirin Empire!

On the other hand, Tianci became much more relaxed after he returned, spending his days eating, drinking, and having fun, only occasionally paying attention to Lin Zhen’s news and secretly checking the information about Lin Zhen’s hometown.

To prevent trouble before it happens, if he could control Lin Zhen’s family, he would not have to worry about Lin Zhen coming back for revenge one day. That was Tianci’s strategy.

A Star Shift Master shop opened on Kirin Holy Star.

There were no guests to congratulate them, and the shop was not well-known. It just opened after hanging a sign.

The owner was an ordinary-looking person who wore a poor-quality mental defense mask and seldom spoke. There was also an employee he hired in the shop, who was only at the Star Realm Early Stage.

There was a sign on the shop called the Heavenly Fire Star Shift Shop, which could forge various weapons and equipment.

However, they couldn’t forge Artifacts yet, only Star Artifacts and Sacred Artifacts.

For advanced civilizations like the Universe Country, the best weapons are still Artifacts, and although Star Artifacts and Sacred Artifacts also have a market, they are not taken seriously by advanced Martial Artists. Therefore, this shop was just muddling along, but the business was pretty good.

Many low-level Martial Artists entered the shop and found that the things forged by the owner were of high quality and the prices were not too high, making them a good value for money.

Gradually, Heavenly Fire Star Shift Shop gained some fame, and it became well-known among the middle and low-tier martial artists.

The business was getting better and better, and they made more and more money.

Some people secretly gathered information about the owner’s income and were surprised to find that the owner could earn at least several hundred thousand or even millions of Kirin Coins every day. This was already a very high income without being able to forge Artifacts.

The owner also said that once his forging skills are matured, he would start forging Artifacts, and he would require Cosmic Crystals as payment.

The owner was a very reasonable person and was very low-key. He paid all the protection fees that were required without missing a cent. This area was under the jurisdiction of the Qing Luan Society. Although Feng Qingluan was gone, the Mixed World King had taken over his disciple’s foundation, and no one dared to underestimate Qing Luan Society.

Under the protection of the Qing Luan Society, the business of the Heavenly Fire Shop was getting better and better, and it was estimated that the days of forging Artifacts were not far away.

With the owner’s skills and character, it could be expected to make a huge fortune once he started forging Artifacts.

However, people didn’t understand where the owner got his practice materials from, as being a Star Shift Master wasn’t easy. Without a massive amount of equipment and money as backing, it would be difficult to develop these skills.

Some people who were interested in the owner’s wealth even tried to introduce women to him.

But the owner seemed to be indifferent to all the women and ignored them.

Many people were dissatisfied with this and later tried to find various top-quality beauties for him out of spite, hoping the owner would fall for them.

However, the owner really didn’t care about these women. No matter who they were, he remained polite and indifferent. From his eyes, it was apparent that these women were genuinely not to his taste, meaning he simply looked down on them.

Eventually, people gradually gave up and began to suspect that the owner might have some deficiencies in certain aspects. The women they introduced were not bad but outstanding, yet he remained unmoved.

Only his employee occasionally heard a clue from a poem recited by the owner.

The owner said it this way.

“Once, the seas made me indifferent to the rivers, clouds but not those above Witch Mountain. Half of me was devoted to cultivation as I glanced lazily through the flower beds, half devoted to you, my beloved!”

The employee had heard some poetry before, but he had never heard this one. It might have come from the owner’s hometown. After all, the Empire was so vast that each planet and civilization had bred different cultures.

From the meaning of the poem, the employee inferred that the owner must have had a profound love, and his lover must have been exceptionally beautiful and outstanding, thus making him ignore the red-faced beauties of the world.

The owner’s state of mind should be that he looks down on others besides his former lover.

In the employee’s opinion, the owner was an outstanding man, although he couldn’t see his Realm, he knew that the owner’s strength was formidable. Occasionally, he also saw the handsome facial contours under the owner’s mask.

This was a man with a story, an extraordinary man. He just didn’t understand why the owner was content with an ordinary life, staying here to practice Star Shift. Could it be that the owner was short of money?

He didn’t know if the owner’s former lover could compare to the stunning and overpowering gang leader he had seen on the street.

She probably couldn’t compare. That woman had already reached the limit of beauty among women. If she could let go of her icy demeanor, no man in the world could resist her.

Unfortunately, the woman had already died in the Chaotic Star River. The employee really wanted to see if the owner could resist her charm if he saw her, but this would remain just a fantasy.
