On the other side, somewhere in the Emerald Star Cluster, a small fleet was sailing slowly. The armor mark on the outer surface of the spacecraft showed that this force belonged to the "Ancient Snake", which was the same Lu Qi who had revealed Gaode's superpowers at the orientation meeting.

fleet.

Lu Qi stood in front of the bridge porthole with his arms folded, staring at the starry sky outside the window. Next to him, stood another neutral Transcendent A Grade, another big boss who was involved in the black market.

"How long will it take to reach the star cluster border star gate?" Lu Qi asked without looking back.

"Chief, we still have about a day's journey." The captain in the distance replied hurriedly.

Hearing this, the neutral Transcendent A Grade on the side shook his head and said helplessly:

"I feel like I can't keep up with Gothe. Lu Qi, do you really need to compete with him?"

"I just want to find out what his ability is."

"Hey, he is a direct descendant of the empire, so you don't have to accept it at all. Do you dare to collide with the imperial fleet and force him to take action?"

"Hmph, I have to give it a try."

Lu Qi pursed his lips, showing an attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the question.

After the orientation meeting, he took the fleet with him and a familiar Transcendent A Grade raider. He followed Gothe's sailing route and chased him, hoping to stop Gothe for a discussion.

Naturally, he did this not only to satisfy his own thirst for knowledge. As the dark son of a super star cluster civilization, he received a secret order from the top management, asking him to find a way to force Gaode to take action and confirm whether the other party's ability was [energy control].

That's why he persevered in tracking Gothe.

The Super Star Cluster Civilization basically does not want to take action against Gothe, but this kind of temptation is still within the acceptable range, and they all want to find out Gothe's true ability.

At this moment, the spacecraft radar suddenly rang.

"Please note! There is a space anchor area ahead, and the jump mode cannot be maintained. Please stop the jump or go around..."

The two were stunned for a moment.

Space-anchored areas generally represent trouble. Neutral Transcendent A Grades who hang out in the black market basically don't like to cause unnecessary trouble.

Lu Qi was about to ask the fleet to avoid it when the spacecraft suddenly received a communication.

"This is the Crimson Empire Exploration Army, temporarily checking all passers-by. Please stop the ship immediately and cooperate. Repeat, please stop the ship immediately..."

Hearing this, Lu Qi had no choice but to stop the fleet. He saw outside the window a defense line composed of imperial warships, which seemed to have blocked a large area in front.

Three imperial ships immediately came forward and turned on various detection equipment to scan Lucci's fleet.

At the same time, a projection that looked like an imperial official appeared on the communication screen. He looked at Lu Qi and the two of them and said expressionlessly:

"Please show your identity code, spacecraft navigation permit, crew list, voyage log..."

Although Lu Qi was not happy, his true identity was sensitive after all, so he had to ask the captain to cooperate. In his opinion, there was nothing he could not see.

The imperial officer began to check and found that Lu Qi and the person next to him were Transcendent A Grade. His face changed slightly, a strong suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he asked:

"What are you doing here? Why are you passing through this area? What is your destination?"

"Does the Empire have to take care of this? This is one of the routes to the Border Star Gate Station. Is it strange that I pass by here?" Lu Qi frowned, "On your side, why are you sealing off this area to check?"

"Looking for someone." The imperial officer did not want to say more and continued to immerse himself in inspection.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that Lu Qi's voyage log contained records of tracking Gothe. His pupils suddenly shrank and he shouted in an unquestionable tone:

"Everyone leaves the spacecraft immediately and undergoes further inspection!"

"That's a bit too much, we are just passing by." The neutral Transcendent A Grade next to him frowned.

"I repeat, leave the spacecraft immediately for further inspection! Otherwise we will enforce it!"

Having said that, the imperial fleet behind them activated their weapon arrays without saying a word, and aimed their cannons at Lucci's fleet, ready to fire on any disagreement.

"Are you threatening me?" Lu Qi suddenly became angry.

The imperial family has a great cause, and the officers have no respect for him, so that's it. But now he still wants to push the envelope, using chicken feathers as command arrows, trying to manipulate me, a Transcendent A Grade. Is it really easy to mess with a Transcendent A Grade?!

As a neutral Transcendent A Grade, he really can't offend the empire, but he doesn't think any cats or dogs in the empire have the right to disrespect him. Besides, with the Transcendent A Grade Association behind us, we are not without backers now!

"Beep beep beep..."

Just when Lu Qi was about to get angry, the communicators of everyone on the ship vibrated.

Lu Qi frowned, temporarily suppressed his anger, and took out his communicator. Only then did he see the empire's mandatory pop-up announcement, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Gothe is missing?!

Who did this? You must be so brave!

Lu Qi's body shook suddenly, and he immediately realized something was wrong.

Wait, he seems to have been tracking Gothe and wants to discuss with him...

If nothing happened to Gothe, this kind of behavior would be normal and would not arouse the hostility of the empire. But it is different now. Gothe had an accident, and everyone related to him could not escape suspicion. Although he was just chasing behind him, there was no way he could escape suspicion.

When I met Gothe, he was also suspicious in the eyes of the empire and refused to let go of any clues!

No wonder the emperor's official has such an attitude!

Lu Qi knew the seriousness of the matter. Now was not the time to worry about whether people respected him or not. He had to find a way to clear the suspicion.

If he dared not cooperate with the empire's work, he would have no doubt that the furious empire would come to him to vent its anger. Now was not the time to show off.

Lu Qi's arrogance suddenly dropped, and he did not dare to get angry, so he had to angrily ask everyone to leave the spacecraft, and obediently cooperated with the empire's inspection, feeling secretly resentful in his heart.

——Who is this bastard who committed the crime? He tricked me to death!

…

"What? Gothe is missing, is someone really going to attack him?!"

The President of the Federation of Radiance, Badr, suddenly stood up from his chair, looking confused.

Damn it, is there really a fool?!

No, this is not a fool, he must be a madman!

The chief council elder was also surprised and uncertain, "Who is so bold as to really attack the direct descendants of the empire? This will shake up the entire situation, cause a huge storm, and cause trouble for everyone!"

Bader frowned and said in a deep voice: "The Void Spirits are just like us. If we don't move, they won't mess around... So it's probably the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance that did it?!"

"Yes, it must be the Super Star Cluster." The chief council elder nodded.

Before the incident, the two of them did not think that the Super Star Cluster would dare to take action, but when the incident really happened, in their opinion, excluding themselves, the case could only be committed by the Super Star Cluster!

How courageous! If you dare to attack the direct descendants of the empire today, will you dare to attack their direct descendants tomorrow?

"The wings of the Super Star Cluster are hardened. It seems that the grief at the peak made them hold a grudge. I think it's time to educate them again..."

Badr's eyes flickered.

It was the empire that suffered the loss. He was actually secretly happy that he had weakened the empire without having to do anything himself and enjoyed the gains. But on the other hand, the empire represented the civilization of the rulers. As a glorious member of it, when he saw the ruling authority being challenged, he couldn't help but

Give rise to the same hatred and hatred. These two emotions are not in conflict.

The chief council elder thought for a while, his face darkened slightly, and said: "Although we are not murderers, we possess high-dimensional apocalypse transmitters and are best at surprise assassinations. There is a high probability that we will become one of the targets of the empire's suspicion."

"Well, this is also a problem, so we have to take a stand and take the initiative to help the empire investigate the case." Bader said thoughtfully, "However, we are not the only ones with this kind of teleportation ability. Who knows if Tool Nation has secretly learned this technology?

.Also, Black Star also has a similar single teleportation mecha, he may also..."

"Tool Nation is suspicious, but he is still a glorious ally. If he did it, we are also responsible. As for Black Star..." The chief council elder laughed, "Haha, as long as the empire's senior officials have no problem with their brains, it is impossible.

Let’s suspect Black Star.”

"makes sense."

Badr shook his head helplessly.

…

"Who did this?!"

The leader of the Star Arc Civilization seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue, and he was stunned.

Although this is what he wants to do, the leader of the Star Arc Civilization knows in his heart that no matter who attacks Gothe, the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance must be the empire's first target of suspicion.

This is pushing them into a pit of fire!

For a moment, the leader of the Star Arc Civilization was in a state of confusion, with one suspect after another flashing through his mind.

"It wasn't me. Could it be other super star cluster civilizations? Who would have such a motive... Could it be Modo?!"

Modo left the battlefield early, and the war situation has nothing to do with them, so Modo is really not afraid of doing this kind of thing, and it is not even ruled out that they have the motive of dragging down the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance - they are not worried about the lack of numbers but the inequality, and Modo has no competition.

He wants other super star cluster civilizations to fail with him?!

The leader of the Star Arc Civilization's mind was spinning rapidly.

In other words, this is the plan of Glory and Void Spirit to kill the talents of the empire and then put the blame on the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance and make us take the blame?!

In fact, this is the empire's own conspiracy to make Gothe disappear, blame the Transcendent Star Cluster, and use the topic to give the direct lineage a reason to participate in the war, and use this as an excuse to once again set off the Peak War and massacre the Transcendent A Grade of the Transcendent Star Cluster... Otherwise

How could things happen so suddenly? How could Gothe not resist at all!

The leader of the Star Arc Civilization had a gloomy expression on his face, feeling like he had seen through everything.

This is a conspiracy against the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance!
