Chapter 782: There’s Hidden Players
Eighteen hours passed in the blink of an eye. At eleven o'clock the next morning, Song Shiyan received a message from Li Xiaofei. The meeting location was set outside Chongque City, in a starfield at the thirteenth node south of Stargate E25A.
It was a chaotic asteroid sea beyond the solar system. Composed of hundreds of thousands of planets, the region formed an elliptical zone of chaos, and was perpetually shrouded in darkness and cold. The terrain was treacherous, and ordinary spacecraft could not enter without risk of destruction, since they could easily collide with drifting debris.
Only lifeforms at the Neutron Star level or above dared to enter this place with their physical bodies.
Li Xiaofei had requested to meet Song Jinglun alone. At 11:37, the starship belonging to Song Jinglun, the city lord of Chongque, appeared at the outer edge of the asteroid sea.
As one of the peak experts in Chongque City, he had absolute confidence in his own strength. However, his long-cultivated cautious nature prevented him from being reckless. He made careful arrangements before stepping out from his starship and entering the asteroid sea alone.
The asteroid sea, made up of hundreds of thousands of large and small planets and countless fragments of shattered meteorites, was a land of death. Due to a unique magnetic field, communication systems and formation energies failed to function here. It was an ideal place for hiding and escaping. It was also extremely difficult to set any ambushes.
A meticulously chosen meeting place, indeed. A cold smile appeared on Song Jinglun's lips.
He ventured deep into the asteroid sea, skillfully avoiding countless chaotic debris belts along the way. He arrived at the designated location precisely at noon. The timing was perfect. That, too, had been intentional.
"This official has arrived. Li Qingchen, are you still unwilling to show yourself?" A wave of energy rippled outward, echoing across the starfield like a call.
There was no response.
