Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

[Luo Feng: Everyone, I'm back!]

Shortly after Zhu Chen and Shi Hao finished their conversation, a new message suddenly popped up in the group chat.

Luo Feng is back.

Zhu Chen perked up and immediately turned his attention back to the group chat.

[Zhu Chen: Sixth brother, how is the situation?]

[Luo Feng: I have confirmed the exact coordinates of Binglan Star through intelligence channels in the virtual universe network. In addition, I have received urgent news: the Nuolanshan family has reported the matter of my second brother killing that disciple to their patriarch. Nuolanshan himself is furious and is using the family's resources to investigate with all his might!]

[Xiao Yan: Then let's not wait any longer, let's set off now, let's go straight to Ice Storm Star, and catch them off guard before they're fully prepared!]

Xiao Yan was in high spirits after emerging from seclusion and immediately responded in the group chat.

[Lin Dong: I agree with Fourth Brother's suggestion. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Since we've decided to wipe them out, we can't give them any time to breathe!]

[Wang Lin: Delay will only lead to complications; decisive action is necessary.]

Lin Dong and Wang Lin also sent comments in the group chat.

They all strongly supported Xiao Yan's suggestion.

Although Han Li and Qian Renxue did not reply, they clearly tacitly agreed with this view.

Otherwise, they would have voiced their objections long ago.

However, Luo Feng's next words poured cold water on everyone's enthusiasm.

[Luo Feng: This matter is not as simple as you think. Even using the fastest spaceship, it would take about half a month to travel from our planet Qiulong to Binglan Star, the stronghold of the Nuolanshan family.]

[Xiao Yan: What? Half a month? How can it be so slow? Is there a faster way? In half a month, by the time we arrive, the Nolan Mountain family's fleet will probably have already reached Earth!]

Xiao Yan immediately became anxious upon hearing this.

He had thought that space travel would be as quick as tearing through space, but he never expected it to take so long.

[Zhu Chen: Xiao Yan, half a month is already very fast. You must understand that the universe of the Swallowed Star world is far larger than the world we know. The distance between galaxies is often measured in light-years. The time that Sixth Brother mentioned must have been achieved using unconventional travel methods like the 'Dark Universe'. Without using the Dark Universe, it might have taken several years to arrive.]

Zhu Chen also sent a comment at that moment.

He had some understanding of the worldview of Swallowed Star, and therefore understood Luo Feng's concerns.

[Luo Feng: Brother is right. Our conventional space travel has a speed limit of light, but even traveling at the speed of light, crossing galaxies would take a very long time. The dark universe is different. In the dark universe, the speed can exceed the speed of light, and the distance traveled would be magnified thousands of times when compared to the original universe. Even so, crossing such a distant star system, half a month is the fastest time I can calculate.]

Luo Feng gave a detailed explanation, giving members from different worlds in the group a more intuitive understanding of the difficulties of space travel.

[Xiao Yan: Damn, your universe is way too big! Are we just supposed to wait here? What if they really send a fleet to Earth within the next two weeks?]

Although Xiao Yan understood, he still felt that time was of the essence.

Zhu Chen: Everyone doesn't need to worry too much. It will also take time for the Nuolanshan family to find out Wang Lin and the others' identities. The people coming and going on Qiulong Star every day are complicated, and there are delays and access restrictions in information registration.

Even if they traced their location to Earth through the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, they would still need to verify and confirm it, and assess the risks.

Secondly, as a cosmic family, the Norlan family's actions against a life-bearing planet in a remote star system would not be as simple as the patriarch Norlan making a snap decision to immediately send troops.

They need to mobilize their fleet, allocate manpower, prepare supplies, and formulate battle plans, while also evading the Black Dragon Empire's surveillance. This series of actions might not even be enough time in half a month.

Luo Feng: Big Brother's analysis is correct. Although the Nuolanshan family is arrogant, they are not stupid. Without knowing the true situation of Earth, especially the strength of us 'murderers', it is unlikely that they would rashly send their core fleet to an unfamiliar star system.

It's more likely that they'll send out a reconnaissance or vanguard team first, and if we're going to ambush them, that vanguard team will be the target.

"From a time perspective, we have ample time to reach their likely route to the Milky Way and set up an ambush." ​​Luo Feng continued, picking up where Zhu Chen left off, and further explained the feasibility of this operation plan.

Hearing what Zhu Chen and Luo Feng said, the others in the group felt a little relieved.

[Wang Lin: So, this two-week voyage has actually become our preparation time. Sixth Brother, now that the coordinates are set, we shouldn't delay. Shall we set off immediately?]

Wang Lin pondered for a moment before speaking.

He couldn't wait to go to Icestorm Star to plunder resources.

[Luo Feng: Alright, I've already purchased a C5-class spaceship, the 'Dark Star,' from Qiulong Star. Its dark space travel speed is fast enough, and its stealth capabilities are also good. If everyone is ready, we can immediately depart for the ambush area I've selected.]

[Xiao Yan: No problem, I'm ready to leave anytime. All members of the Exploding Heaven Gang, assemble!]

[Lin Dong: I'm ready!]

[Wang Lin: Wang is also one.]

[Qian Renxue: I'm fine too.]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Yay, let's go...]

[Han Li: I shall depart immediately!]

[Shi Hao: Let's finish this quickly, I still need to go to Mount Bulao to find my parents!]

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic response, Zhu Chen no longer hesitated.

[Zhu Chen: Let me know when you arrive. I need to take care of things here first.]

[Luo Feng: Okay, let's get to the ambush location first, and then we'll update the group chat!]

Upon receiving the message from Luo Feng, Zhu Chen immediately left the chat group.

He turned to look into the room, where Yunxi was already asleep, holding little Zhuxi, her face showing a tired but peaceful expression.

A pang of tenderness and guilt welled up in Zhu Chen's heart, but the current situation was urgent and he could not afford to indulge in sentimentality.

He gently walked to the bedside, bent down and kissed Yunxi's forehead and Xiaozhuxi's cheek, leaving a protective mark containing his own blood and blessings, before quietly leaving the room.

……

Outside the courtyard.

Little Tower and the woman with double pupils were waiting quietly.

After Zhu Chen came out, he nodded to them and then told them about what happened in the Devouring Starry Sky area.

Xiao Ta already knew about his ability to cross boundaries.

The woman with double pupils had helped him many times, and the two of them were no longer strangers.

There's nothing to hide about this for them!
"Cross-border conquest...sounds interesting, but unfortunately I can't go."

The woman with double pupils spoke softly, her tone carrying a hint of disappointment.

Crossing boundaries to fight is something that any confident and strong person aspires to, and she is no exception.

The little tower shook its body and said, "It's alright, if you can't go, I can go in your place..."
