Chapter 2144. Metal World
Han Sen thought he would have a few days free to himself, but soon after he finished his lectures, he was summoned by the elders. There, he was tasked with leading a team to a newly discovered xenogeneic space. He was instructed to explore the space, and if possible, return with resources and materials.
Because the xenogeneic space only allowed Marquises to enter, Lone Bamboo had been intended to lead the task force there. But right now, he was training inside Hidden Path Cave. As a result, the elders saw fit to pass the job on to Han Sen. Han Sen was given a basic description of the xenogeneic space, which was called Metal World. This was, however, only a temporary name for the location. He did learn that more than one faction had already discovered it, though. Other teams were already there, researching the place. Sky Palace was a step behind.
Based on what he was told, there were groups from the Dragon, Demon, Destroyed, and even the Buddha there. They were all in the Metal World, and now that Sky Palace had joined the exploration, the situation was sure to become quite complex.
Han Sen did not have much time to prepare before being shipped off, as he was led by a Sky Palace elder. He was accompanied by one hundred Sky Palace Marquise students, as well.
The trip to Metal World had been organized by the elders. The Marquises had been instructed to follow Han Sen’s commands after they entered Metal World, so their lives were pretty much in his hands.
Although Han Sen was just an Earl, Sky Palace’s authority was well-respected among its members. And Han Sen’s own reputation was mighty. No one objected to Han Sen’s position as their leader.
Before entering Metal World, the elder provided Han Sen with a bounty of information about the Marquise students he was set to lead. A few of them had been marked, as they had unique powers that would be crucial for the trip ahead.
Han Sen led the one hundred Sky Palace Marquises to Metal World. That xenogeneic space was a planet, and a strange power radiated from it. That power forbade the entry of any creature or being that was above the Marquise level.
The scariest thing about all this was that the planet had a very special magnetic property. Metal objects would be sucked into the planet, so tools made of metal were unusable in the planet’s vicinity. Due to this, airships could not come close to the planet.
