Chapter 1426

1426 Universe Explorer! (1)
Wang Teng didn’t reject the grand elder’s invitation.
He looked at the date and realized that it was getting closer to the League Of Talents. However, he would probably get there on time with his speed, even if he stayed a few days longer.
Besides, his constellation light force was only at the seventh level. He wanted to get more attributes and push it to the ninth tier.
Another important thing was that more people had become aware of planet Light Velvet’s existence. The members of the Black Leaf Mercenary Team were there, so he had to solve the planet ownership matters quickly.
!!
Wang Teng and Ferya lived in the grand elder’s house. The young hero rested for half a day before he went out.
Based on what Radiance said, the group of mercenaries were locked up in a cave halfway up the mountain.
He was going there to take a look.
The young man informed the grand elder and flew towards the mountain like a bolt of light.
He reached the cave a while later.
“It’s here.” Radiance’s voice sounded in Wang Teng’s mind.
Wang Teng scanned the area and noticed a universe spacecraft relatively close to the cave. The Black Leaf Mercenary Team’s logo was printed on it.
“That’s their spacecraft,” Radiance explained.
Wang Teng nodded. It was just a cosmos level ship, so he wasn’t interested in it. He simply strode into the cave.
The place was man-made. There were many split rocks nearby.
After walking close to ten meters, he reached the cave’s interior. A few people were locked there.
Their force had been sealed, while their limbs were tied with vines. They were bound to a wall.
The vines belonged to the Tree of Radiance; normal warriors couldn’t cut them since they were extremely tough.
The captives were awake, but there was nothing they could do besides staring at one another. They couldn’t escape.
Hence, their spirits lifted when they saw that someone was entering the cave.
Finally, after being locked up for several days.
However, they were stunned upon seeing the person’s face.
It’s a human martial warrior!
This wasn’t one of the furry natives; it was one of their own kind, a human like they were.
They exchanged glances with bewilderment and doubt in their eyes.
“Hi, nice to meet you!” Wang Teng waved and greeted.
Ren Gulan: …
What is this person doing here?
Something feels wrong.
Wang Teng smiled and asked as he walked in, “Why are y’all looking at me?”
“Who are you?” Ren Gulan asked back.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What you need to know is that your lives are in my hands,” Wang Teng said.
“Are you the boss backing those natives?” Ren Gulan squinted.
Wang Teng paused for a moment and touched his chin. “I wasn’t, but I am now.”
Ren Gulan: …
What do you mean by ‘you weren’t but you are now’? What nonsense is this?
Ren Gulan never liked to overthink. She would have hit the guy under normal conditions.
“Cough!” Varian coughed and said, “Mister, I don’t think you came looking for us to chat, right?”
“You’re not stupid.” Wang Teng glanced at him and smiled.
“What do you want?” Ren Gulan asked directly.
“I came to ask you a question,” replied the young hero.
“What is it?” Ren Gulan frowned.
“Aside from you, does anyone else know about this planet?” Wang Teng was straightforward.
Ren Gulan and Varian glanced at each other and blinked.
“Think carefully before you reply. A wrong answer might cost you your life.” Wang Teng squatted in front of Ren Gulan and looked at her with a calm smile.
“You!” Ren Gulan stared at the face inches away from her. He was smiling, but his gaze was apathetic. For some reason, this made her feel a chill down her back.
Still, being the younger sister of the Black Leaf Mercenaries’ head, she wouldn’t admit defeat that easily. She was used to having things go her way.
“Are you threatening me?” She scoffed.
“You can say so.” Wang Teng smiled.
“Do you know who we are?” Ren Gulan glared at him.
“The Black Leaf Mercenary Team!” Wang Teng’s tone remained indifferent. “Your team members have already spilled all the beans.”
“You captured them.” Ren Gulan frowned. “Useless!”
At first she had some hope. All the members in her team were seasoned warriors of celestial and planetary stages. As long as they didn’t meet the monsters on that mountain, no one would be able to stop them on that planet.
If they were unable to contact them after a few days, they would figure out that something was off and would leave to seek help from her brother.
Who would have thought that they would get caught? Useless people.
Honestly, if she was caught, a cosmos warrior, what could her men do?
“How dare you capture us even after knowing who we are.” Ren Gulan sneered.
“Your men said the same thing.” Wang Teng smirked. “Truthfully, the Black Leaf Mercenary Team is nothing. All you have is a few heaven stage martial warriors.”
