I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 1055: Chapter 666: A Fearsome Reputation Repels the Enemy (Part 2)

Besides, a person who has just broken through to Tier Seven cannot possibly be a match for Vahag, a seasoned Tier Seven.

"I understand." Suti’s eyes also showed a hint of ruthlessness.

The Yunus Clan originally made their fortune through plundering.

During the chaotic early days of the Empire, they disguised themselves as star thieves, engaging in bloody deeds along the routes between star realms, completing the family’s initial accumulation.

Even later, when the clan cleaned up its act and transformed into a legitimate Golden Family, they still supported star thieves or other forces behind the scenes to seek benefits and eliminate dissidents for themselves.

Taking advantage of fire or seizing opportunities—they would have no psychological burden doing such things.

Suti was previously just worried about encountering a tough opponent.

After all, most teams entering the secret realm belong to Golden Clans or other top forces, and many possess strength superior to the Yunus Clan.

If they were to encounter tough ones, it would certainly lead to trouble.

But now, since Lord Vahag has spoken, they can set aside worries and do what they do best.

"Depart!"

At Vahag’s command, the members of the Yunus Clan immediately put away the tombstone spirit fragment, and swiftly headed towards the direction of the thunder clouds.

Their speed was extremely fast, streaking across the desolate wilderness, leaving yellow battle armor shadows trailing like a pack of wolves lunging at prey.

However, upon reaching a certain pass, Vahag at the forefront suddenly felt his soul quiver.

A massive sense of crisis surged over him like icy tides, instantly enveloping his entire body.

This feeling wasn’t due to seeing something frightening but was an instinctual, bone-deep fear, as if a giant invisible hand reached out from the void, gripping his throat.

His body hair stood on end.

"Stop!"

Vahag raised his hand sharply, his body pinned to the ground, motionless.

Though the warriors behind him were puzzled, they obeyed orders without question, all forcibly halting and collectively looking at Vahag, faces showing a trace of confusion.

"Lord, what’s wrong?" Suti quickly stepped beside Vahag, asking in a low voice, eyes scanning the surroundings cautiously.

A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on Vahag’s forehead, his muscles tensed, and his voice suppressed deep, carrying a heavy weight: "There’s danger."

Danger?

Suti’s heart sank abruptly.

Lord Vahag is a Tier Seven Golden Bloodline expert, his perception far superior to theirs; if something makes him so tense, it must be a formidable enemy.

Could it be the protector of that person undergoing tribulation?

Suti’s gaze swiftly swept across the surrounding mountains.

"This path is blocked. Go back."

At that moment, a plain, cold voice came from ahead.

Though the voice was soft, it was clearly heard by everyone.

Vahag and the others fixed their gaze, and unexpectedly, there was a figure atop the mountain.

A black-clad figure stood there, robe slightly fluttering in the wind, face stern, features sharp like carved by a knife, showing no emotion.

He stood there with hands naturally hanging by his sides, neither wielding a blade nor activating spiritual energy, resembling a mere mountaineer.

Yet it was precisely this "ordinariness" that made everyone present feel an inexplicable pressure.

From outward appearance, he showed no aura of a strong warrior, seemingly just an ordinary person.

How could an ordinary person appear silently there?

How could he make Tier Seven Golden Bloodline Vahag feel threatened?

"Who are you?" Vahag stared at the figure on the mountain, asking in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of undisguisable apprehension.

"Ice Extreme Pass, Qin Tian."

The plain reply came, as if the name itself explained everything.

Ice Extreme Pass, Qin Tian.

Vahag’s brow furrowed, the name seemed familiar, as if he’d heard it somewhere; he quickly searched his memory for its origin, but could not recall immediately.

Beside him, upon hearing the name, Suti’s pupils contracted abruptly.

His complexion turned immediately pale, grabbing Vahag’s arm with trembling fingers, his voice suppressed so low only Vahag could hear: "Lord, he is Qin Tian... Qin Tian of Mingwang Planet’s Ice Extreme Pass!"

Vahag muttered to himself: "Mingwang Planet, Ice Extreme Pass... Qin Tian."

Then, he remembered.

His body shook fiercely as he looked up at the black-clad figure on the mountain, eyes full of disbelief.

Qin Tian—the one who had once slain a Tier Seven Holy Blood powerhouse? The one who single-handedly created a subspace, rescued the Dan Tower Grand Elder from the Xieshen Association back to the Empire—that General Qin?

Vahag had long resided in the Luo Hou Star Realm, knowing little about the Central Star Realm’s people and events. Yet the name Qin Tian had caused a huge stir within the circle and even on the Star Net, spreading far and wide, even he in the remote Luo Hou Star Realm had heard of it.

More importantly—the Yunus Clan is a vassal of the Luohou Clan.

The relationship between the Luohou Clan and Qin Tian is well known in the circles of major forces. The conflict at Soul Split Ice Valley, the open and secret battles on Mingwang Planet, the unresolvable grievances between the two... Vahag, as a Luohou Clan vassal, was more aware of these than outsiders.

Suddenly, cold sweat rose on Vahag’s back.

Could it be that the person undergoing the Celestial Human Three Tribulations is under Qin Tian’s command?

As soon as this thought emerged, Vahag’s heart sank halfway. Qin Tian is known for being ruthless to enemies but protective of his subordinates. If he finds out his subordinate was disturbed during tribulation, how would he react?
