Chapter 450 Imperial Rebels
Chapter 450 Imperial Rebels
"Reporting to the chief, it's...it's the strategist..."
"Oh, it's the strategist. Then it's alright..."
Wait, you said it's a strategist? What's the meaning behind the strategist doing this?
Wang Erzhu was puzzled. Just as he was about to go and ask, Yuchi Zhi arrived.
"It was I who changed the anchor point position."
Yuchi Zhi entered the room and locked it behind him.
"Strategist, attacking the military won't do us any good. Besides capturing a batch of weapons, we might even lose some men. Those few military personnel will find our location soon..."
Wang Erzhu had been wandering alone since childhood. Starting as a rogue cultivator, he had witnessed the injustices of the world. Then, he accidentally killed the young master of a Xuan-rank family and was wanted by them. Without hesitation, Wang Erzhu killed all the wanted cultivators and fled the Wanling Empire to wander the world.
He has now reached the Nascent Soul stage, but he still cannot directly eliminate the enemy.
Constantly being hunted down, Wang Erzhu was blacklisted early on, and his identity became that of an unregistered person. After wandering around for many years, he gathered a group of cultivators who were also unregistered people, relying on his bravery.
In this way, the Wang family gang developed.
Wang Erzhu only robs starships; he would never kill anyone unless absolutely necessary.
The Wang family gang was quite famous in the Yangzhou Star Region, controlling ports outside the empire. Wang Erzhu's team grew larger and larger. He naturally knew that he was a space pirate, but by acquiring resources through robbery, Wang Erzhu's cultivation level rose relatively quickly.
Having received news in the past few days that the military would be sending a group of students to Black Nest, Wang Erzhu naturally set his sights on this target as well.
They planned to hijack the starships following the military. The military had many people and many highly skilled cultivators, so once they got entangled, it would be extremely difficult to break free.
He would never do something so thankless and exhausting.
Now, Yuchi Zhi comes to him and says that it was his decision. Wang Erzhu is timid. Although he trusts Yuchi Zhi, he is afraid that Yuchi Zhi will bypass him and act on his own, which will put them at odds with the military.
Yuchi Zhi...
What are their true intentions?
Wang Erzhu looked at the cultivator in front of him with a complicated expression.
He took Yu Chizhi in two years ago. Wang Erzhu had his eye on Yu Chizhi’s spatial spiritual root and originally wanted to recruit him as his left-hand general. However, Yu Chizhi not only had high cultivation but also first-rate ability to handle affairs.
Yu Chizhi has a keen mind. After successfully intercepting starships several times, Wang Erzhu saw her command ability.
Yu Chi Zhi officially became the strategist of the Wang family gang and participated in decision-making.
Two years later, Yu Chizhi's outstanding command ability made Wang Erzhu increasingly reliant on him.
In the end, Yuchi Zhi became his confidant.
Wang Erzhu's expression was complicated. He looked up at Yuchi Zhi, hoping it was just his imagination.
"You know I never touch the military."
“I know you didn’t touch it, I did,” Yu Chizhi said calmly. “No need to worry. Haven’t you always wanted a batch of weapons and spirit stones? Why not take a gamble instead of robbing a cargo ship? Besides, don’t you trust my abilities?”
Yu Chi Zhi's spiritual root is a mutated space-type spiritual root, which allows him to use spatial abilities without reaching the Integration Stage.
It was she who just pulled the starship into the adjacent orbit.
With the construction of space to cover it, coupled with signal shielding, this starship was destined never to reach the Fifth Army.
Wang Erzhu was not stupid. Looking at the door locked by the spatial lock, he felt somewhat helpless. He gathered wood elemental energy in his hands, and in an instant, dozens of pillars surrounded Yuchi Zhi.
"Yuchi Zhi, what is your purpose in getting close to me? Is it just for today? Don't forget that I'm the one who saved you from those people. If it weren't for me, you would have become their test subject long ago."
“I know, but this matter…”
Yu Chizhi hesitated, though she was annoyed. She released her spiritual energy, and the space in front of her was torn apart.
Immediately, Yu Chizhi subdued Wang Erzhu at close range: "Sorry, Boss."
If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we'll have to wait another one.
As Yuchi Zhi made his move, the cultivator beside Wang Erzhu also rushed forward, but soon, a binding spell wrapped around his arms.
Wang Erzhu closed his eyes and then opened them again:
"You've already taken control of my troops!"
"Yes."
"You're just waiting for an opportunity here, aren't you? You're not some nobody like me..."
Each question struck Yu Chizhi like a hammer blow, and she looked up, hesitating for a moment:
"……Yes."
"That's what they call you, isn't it? Rebels of the Empire..."
Wang Erzhu looked at Yuchi Zhi and spoke his mind. His words were less accented and only contained deep helplessness.
After hesitating for a long time, Yu Chizhi looked at the person she had subdued:
"Boss, I know you almost died because of those powerful families. Did you ever feel hatred? I think you understand everything we've done."
After this, our team will continue to grow stronger.
Joining us might be a better option.
Yuchi Zhi explained in detail.
Wang Erzhu remained silent throughout. No matter how much injustice he suffered or how he became an unregistered resident, he would at most become a bandit. He never thought of embarking on the path of rebellion.
He had heard of this group before. If the most serious behavior among space pirates was antisocial acts and doing things that were against morality and reason, then these rebels were definitely doing things that were intolerable to the extreme.
Judging from this operation, Wang Erzhu could already sense the madness of Yuchi Zhi and his group.
It's no wonder he guessed it so quickly; only those evil cultivators and these imperial rebels would dare to confront the military head-on.
It is said that the villains act without any rhyme or reason, each of them possessing a degree of antisocial personality, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
In the intelligence network of space pirates, the first force they dared not offend was the military, and the second was the rebels.
Given the extreme, ruthless thinking of rebels, he could easily foresee his own fate:
"Kill me or torture me as you please, I'm not joining your worthless organization."
When Yu Chizhi heard his superior, who had been his superior for some time, say these words, his face darkened.
As she hesitated whether to kill the person, the spatial lock behind her broke.
A ghostly figure swiftly arrived beside Yuchi Zhi:
"057, stop wasting time here. If you can't kill them now, do it later. 002, we have news that the other starships have been located. Come out with me and kill those Nascent Soul cultivators."
"Yes."
Yuchi Zhi left in a hurry.
The space lock relocked the door.
Wang Erzhu's expression suddenly turned serious. Most of the cultivators on board this starship were senior students from various academies, representing the new generation of cultivators.
Could it be that, besides Yangzhou, the starships of the other armies have also been captured?
Is their goal resources? Or something else...?
