Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

This is the current situation on Qingsha Star, with various interest groups within the Marriott drawing back and waiting quietly.

If another tragedy truly occurs, at least they will know what the other’s retaliation strategy is.

Then, as everyone expected, a second tragedy indeed happened.

The first target that Qu Jianlei and his group moved against was Qian Cengxue’s family.

Qian Cengxue, as a Tributor, had contributed significantly in the annihilation of the Kong Se family, and his family defense was also stricter.

However, that’s not the main reason. In the end, he was just a Tributor, doing things merely for money.

If their families were truly to be harmed, the families of Xian Ming or Red Beard should have been the main targets.

Unfortunately, the families of these two Supremes are not even in the Sirius Star Realm, requiring cross-star realm assassinations.

What Qu Jianlei considered was that the opponent’s main combat power had already lost three-fifths.

In such turbulent times, it was necessary to embody the spirit of "pursuing the desperate enemy with remaining courage."

If they do not pursue aggressively, should the opponent recover and enlist others regardless of cost, more troubles would inevitably arise.

Therefore, slaughtering Qian Cengxue’s clan would demonstrate their ruthlessness and unrelenting nature, more effectively hitting the opponent’s morale.

He truly wasn’t a bloodthirsty fiend, but was considering from a tactical standpoint.

Tianyin unhesitatingly accepted his suggestion in full.

In fact, her thirst for vengeance made her even more frigid than Qu Jianlei. "After killing all his family, can we conduct a full-scale explosion?"

This caught Mu Yu somewhat by surprise, "Tianyin, if we do that, it will be too conspicuous, and... it would cost a lot."

Actually, she didn’t mention that creating a large-scale inferno explosion on a Habitable Star was too easy to alert the Imperial higher-ups.

Nothing could be done, as the young girl in front of her was blinded by hatred, and Mu Yu, although a Supreme, didn’t want to provoke a teammate.

Fortunately, Tianyin still had some reason and nodded at these words, "I was just saying, I really was a bit angry."

Now that the main target was set, combat planning needed to be done next.

For this, the three of them took a day to carefully observe the opponent’s situation.

As for Qian Cengxue’s family and the Marriott Sharp Claw division, they had done everything possible on defense.

However, very unfortunately, in the eyes of the two Supremes and Little Lake, vulnerabilities were evident everywhere.

This is the disparity in strength; it wasn’t a matter of underestimation.

In fact, even after Tianyin understood the situation, she couldn’t help but quip, "Can these measures defend against anyone?"

It wasn’t that she was bragging. As a top student from Chaoyang Academy, her insight was naturally higher than others.

Moreover, having been in contact with Supremes like Qu Jianlei for long, her perspective naturally elevated subtly.

As night approached, the weather changed, and strong winds arose.

Qu Jianlei, when making battle plans, usually considered weather impacts, and this time was no exception.

But he truly didn’t expect the wind on Sharp Claw Star to be this strong.

Tianyin didn’t show surprise, "Sharp Claw’s weather is just a bit bad, otherwise it would have developed even better."

She was quite a talent herself, experiencing intense emotional fluctuations before the battle, yet becoming calmer as the action approached.

Qu Jianlei asked Little Lake to calculate the forthcoming weather, then decisively altered the battle plan.

"With the support of the strong winds, I alone can handle Qian Cengxue’s family."

"You two go kill the people from Marriott, wait for me to make the first move, then you strike."

Tianyin hesitated, biting her lip as she spoke, "I also want to kill Qian Cengxue’s family. Back then, he killed many of my uncle’s people."

"No problem!" Mu Yu nodded without hesitation.

"Boss, let her go with you, those few people at Marriott, I can handle them alone."

After pondering briefly, Qu Jianlei agreed, "Then it’s settled, act swiftly, if you can’t find a Storage Talisman, just leave it."

After all, he was a bit worried about Mu Yu’s Body Technique.

The upcoming battle was truly lacking in excitement; within the strong winds, Qu Jianlei was truly at ease.

After he twisted the necks of two guards, he even took the leisure to wander around the warehouse.

Then came quick and efficient slaughter, with the three A-levels who were supposedly the main combat strength not being noteworthy.

Alas, one of them with a Sand Attribute A-level was somewhat skilled, not only young but with solid cultivation.

This was an adopted son of Qian Cengxue, who funded his cultivation, even marrying a pair of twins from the family to him.

For someone like Qian Cengxue, who was a hitman, to have such investment thinking attests to how rare top Awakened individuals were.

During the family crisis, this person did not depart, which at least honored Qian Cengxue’s regard.

Because Qu Jianlei, taking advantage of the strong winds, silently infiltrated, Tianyin had ample time to kill.

That night, she personally killed over a hundred people, stopping only due to time constraints.

As for her reaction after the killings... there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Her face, cold and severe, seemed to say—"If I had enough time, I could keep killing"!

Things like nausea or vomiting reactions... do not exist!

Imperial people have seen much death and won’t be as squeamish as Blue Star people.

In fact, Celestial Sound killed these hundred people in less than three minutes, indicating the intensity of her killing intent.

If it weren’t for being pressed for time, the only thing that could stop her killing spree would be her physical strength.

Simply put, Qu Jianlei discovered that there were still many incendiary bullets stockpiled in the opponent’s warehouse, so he decided to create a big fireworks display.

He wouldn’t deliberately cause an explosion, but if the opponent’s ammunition depot blew up, what does that have to do with him?

Celestial Sound was even more ruthless, her mouth twitching constantly, "Boss, I remember you stockpiled a lot of accelerants?"

"Sigh," Qu Jianlei sighed lightly, tossing over a Storage Talisman.

"Don’t let hatred control you; it’s not good for your cultivation... hmm, just this once!"

The Qian Cengxue family was finally completely destroyed; first, an explosion in the ammunition depot, then a blazing fire, not a single person managed to escape.

When the City Guard arrived at the height of the fire, they were completely powerless.

Having accelerants under Imperial control was already a headache, not to mention the strong wind at the time.

More than a thousand kilometers away from the Qian Cengxue family, there was an Ice Attribute Supreme who usually had a decent relationship with them.

The City Guard called the assistant of the other party for help, but the assistant said, "My lord has gone into seclusion, it will take a long time for him to come out."

The A-level big shot at the City Guard was stunned when he heard it, "Wasn’t he just shopping with his girlfriend this afternoon?"

"Yes, my lord went into seclusion five minutes ago, so, you understand?"

Mu Yu, when attacking the Marriott employees, alarmed no one; after the attack, she decisively fled.

So much so that only when the City Guard sent people to understand the situation did they realize the Marriott people were already dead.

Ironically, the two people left behind at the Marriott branch, a Modified Warrior and an ordinary person, survived by sheer luck.

In fact, Celestial Sound, with her strong desire to kill, wasn’t even tempted to attack these two—too disgraceful!

The two massacres were reported immediately, and a series of responses were quickly made.

Arrangements like enhanced inspections were needless to say.

The Planet Government emphasized one thing: all outgoing flights were grounded, only entry allowed, not exit!

The Sirius Star Realm is not like the remote Hope Star Realm; blocking all starship departures is not a decision for just anyone to make.

In such a Prosperous Star Realm, private starships, business starships, etc., make up a significant proportion.

Even when Qingsha Star faced such a significant tragedy, they only limited traffic. Imagine the pressure of a complete flight ban.

By this time, Qu Jianlei and the two women were already seated in the starship, overlooking the increasingly distant Sharp Claw Star.

This was a luxurious passenger starship, promoting the "Space Feast Journey."

The starship was originally waiting for the last two guests to arrive, unaware that it would receive news of the imminent sealing of the Star Port.

No surprise, the power to support such a scene would logically receive insider information in advance.

The key issue was that the advisor of this starship hadn’t arrived— the advisor was a Supreme, planning to board the starship last.

But upon hearing the Star Port was going to be sealed, the captain unhesitatingly requested to lift off.

Those who could board this starship were not just any wealthy guests; taking care of the guests who had boarded on time was most important.

The ones who didn’t arrive on time couldn’t blame the starship for not waiting— the Star Port was about to be sealed!

The closing of the Star Port due to sudden events meant it was uncertain when it would reopen; perhaps a day or two, or maybe one or two months.

The luxurious passenger starship was already supposed to lift off; it only stayed to wait for the last three people.

The guests already on board were not particularly difficult; they just asked who hadn’t arrived yet and then smiled gently.

Everyone’s status wasn’t that disparate, waiting a little didn’t matter.

——The reason some people seem arrogant is mainly because they think you are too far from their circle.

If within the same circle, words and actions must be careful, to avoid offending someone unintentionally.

Some say this is high quality behavior, but that’s nonsense; they don’t treat those below them with the same high quality.

In the end, it’s just about not offending those you shouldn’t offend—being in the same circle, it’s always prudent to be a bit restrained.

However, waiting a bit is fine, but causing everyone to be sealed within the Star Port is unacceptable.

Moreover, the master of this starship is not ordinary; being recognized and accepted by this circle, how could they be ordinary people?

Not to say more, just the starship’s guardian advisor being a Supreme, what kind of influence is that?

Frankly speaking, several years ago, if Lord Kong Se had met this guardian advisor, there wouldn’t have been clan destruction.

Some circles are innate; without being born into them, you’ll never reach them.

The captain also understood the positioning of the starship very well, upon hearing about the sealing of the Star Port, he applied for lift-off without second thoughts and got immediate approval.
