The government’s massive purge has ended. In the past, such a large-scale purge and replacement of personnel by the government would inevitably cause domestic panic and lead to a period of turmoil before it ended.
It was not just ordinary people who would be in turmoil. Especially large families would be eager to seize the vacant government positions, ultimately fighting tooth and nail. Bloodshed was inevitable.
However, this purge went incredibly smoothly. The public not only did not riot, but they did not even show any fear. At most, they posted some messages and comments online. The powerful families who were eager to make a move did not react this time, as if nothing had happened and as if the government was still the same government, without any major internal reshuffle.
Of course, the current situation was the best. It was good for the people, the government, and the military if the empire did not experience turmoil and panic. As for those powerful families, they probably did not dare to have any treacherous thoughts because of Han Junzhan’s recent dealings with the superhumans. After all, those powerful superhumans were easily eliminated by Han Junzhan. If they dared to make any moves, they might end up like those superhumans.
Those who achieved a prominent position within a large family were not fools. They naturally understood best how to maximize benefits and minimize harm.
Now that the government coup and the superhumans had been resolved, Luo Lingxing felt it was time to make a trip to Planet Seyfert to see what the demons were really like.
Planet Seyfert was now Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing’s private planet. They had already applied for ownership of Planet Seyfert long ago, so they didn’t need to go through any procedures to travel there. They could basically leave whenever they wanted.
When Zhang Xuan and the others learned that their leader was going to Planet Seyfert, they all clamored to go with him. After their last special training, their strength had improved a lot. Now that they were undergoing new training, they needed to hone their skills in real combat, so how could they miss such a good opportunity?
Han Junzhan originally didn’t want to take them along, since this trip was to explore the Demon Race, and no one knew what the situation would be like.
If they encounter demons who had already taken human form, Zhang Xuan and the others were no match for them and might even become a hindrance.
However, Luo Lingxing supported Zhang Xuan and the others going.
“They are currently undergoing mecha training. Going there now will allow them to get familiar with the combat, which will be more effective for their subsequent training,” Luo Lingxing said.
Han Junzhan, who always prioritized Luo Lingxing’s wishes, immediately abandoned his own opinion and nodded in agreement with Luo Lingxing. If Zhang Xuan and the others saw their boss like this, they would definitely twitch their eyes and despise him.
However, the itinerary and personnel were thus finalized.
During this time, Luo Lingxing went back to school to ask the teachers and dean for leave, but he was stopped in the classroom by Gao Zhiquan and Liu Quanming.
“Boss, Hu Yiming and Jiang Linyu from the advanced class have been exiled because of their families.” The incredulous expressions on their faces when they heard the news were truly fascinating. Gao Zhiquan chattered on and on about what had happened at school recently to Luo Lingxing.
Due to the major reshuffle of the government, some students at the military academy were implicated by their families and either dropped out or were exiled. Hu Yiming and Jiang Linyu, two students from the elite mecha class, were among them.
Hu Yiming was Hu Zhenhua’s grandson, and Jiang Linyu’s family was an ally of the Hu family. The Jiang family was in trouble the moment the Hu family was in trouble. These two younger brothers, who did not pursue a political career but went to military academy, were taken away before they could shine in the military. They were exiled to a remote and impoverished planet with their families, and they probably would never have the chance to come back in this lifetime.
This matter became a hot topic of conversation within the military academy.
“Boss, Major General Han is really amazing! He can even defeat those superhumans. He’s so cool! Do you think I’ll have a chance to join the First Legion after I graduate?” Gao Zhiquan said admiringly.
When he first followed Luo Lingxing, he actually wanted to join the army that Luo Lingxing would later organize. However, when he saw how easily Han Junzhan eliminated those superhumans, he couldn’t help but change his goal.
Anyway, Major General Han and the boss were family, so it didn’t matter whose legion he went to. The boss definitely wouldn’t mind. The most important thing now was whether he could be noticed and selected to join a legion. There were only a few years left before they graduated.
Although Liu Quanming didn’t speak, it was easy to see from his burning gaze that the boy was also very much looking forward to and concerned about whether he could enter the First Legion.
“As long as you work hard, you will naturally have opportunities,” Luo Lingxing replied.
He wasn’t very familiar with the legion’s recruitment criteria and procedures, but capable and talented people would always be recruited, and as long as they kept working hard, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to get in.
Moreover, Luo Lingxing had teamed up with Gao Zhiquan and Liu Quanming before, so he knew them quite well. Both of them were quite talented, and as long as they were willing to put in the effort, their future achievements would certainly be considerable.
Hearing Luo Lingxing’s answer was like receiving his affirmation. Both of them were excited and silently made up their minds to study harder and improve their abilities so that they could eventually join the First Legion led by Major General Han.
Luo Lingxing listened to Gao Zhiquan talk about some other things, and then left the school and went to Jun Ling Building.
Since Luo Lingxing returned to school, he had devoted much less energy to the entertainment industry and had paid even less attention to the operation of Jun Ling Entertainment. He has handed over almost the entire company to Chen Hongliang and several other executives, which had caused many new employees and artists to sometimes forget that the company actually belonged to Luo Lingxing, not Chen Hongliang.
Luo Lingxing was naturally subjected to a lot of nagging and complaints from Chen Hongliang during his visit to Jun Ling Building, but in the end, he just let it go in one ear and out the other.
“Brother Chen, you’ve worked hard. I’ll give you a bonus. Keep it up!” Luo Lingxing said playfully, offering a bright smile.
Chen Hongliang suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and give Luo Lingxing a good beating, because he knew that if he really beat Luo Lingxing, not to mention that the other party was the boss, Han Junzhan alone would not let him off, and in the end he would only be exploited. So, it was better to be sensible from the beginning, since he had mistakenly boarded this pirate ship in the first place.
“Get lost, or I’m really worried I might lose my temper and take action.” Chen Hongliang waved his hand at Luo Lingxing, feigning impatience.
“Then I’ll leave everything to Brother Chen,” Luo Lingxing said with a smile, and then left Jun Ling Building.
Since everything was going smoothly, he didn’t need to worry too much about it. Apart from the two children, Xiao Xiaojun and Xiao Xiaoling, Luo Lingxing really didn’t need to worry about anything else.
Since the birth of his two children, Luo Lingxing had wanted to dedicate more time to them. However, he had reduced most of his work in the entertainment industry and ultimately found that he still didn’t have much time left for his two babies. This was because there are always many other things taking up his time, such as the month-long training last time and the matter of the demons on Planet Seyfert this time.
The matter of the Demon Race was urgent and he had to go. As Luo Lingxing was about to leave the Emperor Star, his hatred for the Demon Race deepened. In his previous life, he had loathed the Demon Race so much that he even perished alongside them. In this life, he had only wanted to be with his two children in peace, but the Demon Race had resurfaced, which made his impression of them extremely negative. He wished he could go and wipe out all the Demon Race right now and restore the world to normal.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing’s destination on Planet Seyfert was the Demon Race, but Zhang Xuan and the others were unaware of this. Their purpose in coming here was simply to consolidate their previous training results through practical combat and further improve themselves.
After Han Junzhan’s spaceship landed on Planet Seyfert, Luo Lingxing began assigning tasks to everyone.
“Continue your special training as before, but this time you can pilot mechas. Also, if you encounter any particularly difficult beasts that you can’t handle, don’t force it. Immediately send a message to me or your leader. Furthermore, do not approach humans lightly.” Luo Lingxing carefully instructed them, because he didn’t know how many demons on this planet were capable of human form. Therefore, Luo Lingxing could only tell everyone to be extremely careful when encountering humans and not to provoke them easily.
If it were an ordinary human, there would be nothing to fear. With Zhang Xuan and his group’s strength, they could handle ordinary explorers. However, if it were a demon in human form, then it would be hard to say.
“Yes!” Zhang Xuan and the others replied immediately
They knew their boss must have other purposes for coming here, but since he wouldn’t say, they wouldn’t ask. This was the most basic quality of a subordinate.
On the first day, Zhang Xuan and Han Junzhan and the others started to act separately. It wasn’t the first time Zhang Xuan and the others had been to this planet, so they were quite familiar with it and didn’t need anyone to follow them. They could arrange their own training plans and schedules.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing boarded the same mecha and began to carefully explore the entire planet.
Even if it weren’t for the empire, they would still conduct a thorough investigation for the sake of their own planet. After all, they absolutely would not allow any demons to dare to cause trouble on their planet. It would be tantamount to disregarding them.
They first encountered the demons in the Southern Hemisphere, the same hemisphere where they trained, so Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing decided to start their investigation from there.
The Southern Hemisphere had many forests and a rich variety of species, including a wide variety of wild animals, both large and small. The two carefully began to explore the area where the spaceship landed, but after several days, they found no trace of the demons. The demon beast they had killed earlier had long been devoured by other wild animals, leaving no trace behind.
Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing were not worried about Zhang Xuan and the others, because as things stood, this hemisphere was relatively safe, with almost no trace of the demons. However, they had not been without gains these past few days. They had gained a better understanding of their planet, including its resources, wild animals, vegetation, and other species.
The two explored all day until they found the valley where they had previously discovered Xiao Hei. The valley looked much the same as when they last visited, but upon closer inspection, some differences could be discerned. The plants and trees here seemed less vibrant than before. Luo Lingxing thought it was probably because he had taken away the spiritual plants that had grown here and the spirit stones that had been buried here. Without the nourishment of overflowing spiritual energy, these plants appeared less lively.
This small difference made Luo Lingxing realize that there probably wouldn’t be a second spirit stone here.
That makes sense. He’d been in this world for so long and had only ever seen this one spirit stone. If it weren’t for Xiao Hei, he might not have even discovered it. This showed that spirit stones were extremely rare in this world, and some haven’t even been discovered by humans yet.
The two only stayed there for a short while, and after finding no trace of demons, they left to continue their exploration in other places.
The planet Seyfert was actually not very large. The two piloted their mechas and carefully explored the southern hemisphere. They found no trace of demons. If they hadn’t actually encountered demons last time, they probably would have thought that there were no demons on this planet.
During this time, Luo Lingxing contacted Zhang Xuan and the others once. After finding that they were all in good condition, he felt relieved and then went to the Northern Hemisphere with Han Junzhan.
However, as soon as the two arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, they sensed a chilling atmosphere and immediately became alert, their expressions turning serious.
“There’s a strong demonic aura here,” Luo Lingxing said to Han Junzhan.
He initially thought the presence of demons on Planet Seyfert was a coincidence, since they hadn’t discovered any trace of demons during their time in the Southern Hemisphere, except for that one time. They hadn’t noticed any demons during their previous visits either. However, when they stepped into the Northern Hemisphere, the demonic aura suddenly became much stronger.
The Jun Ling couple’s expressions changed. Luo Lingxing’s eyes became much deeper and darker. With such a strong demonic aura, they probably hadn’t been here for just a day or two. However, they had come here several times without noticing anything. If it weren’t for the demons’ mistake of going to the Southern Hemisphere for some reason, they probably wouldn’t have discovered that Planet Seyfert had become the demons’ stronghold.
