"Master Qing, the Balance Dao Central Hub held us up for ten days for no reason. Things might not be stable over at Taiyue," Wan Chen warned.
"Maybe it really was the Nether Fog Group?" Lin Yue said, watching the Star Gate draw closer.
"The Taiyue Hub belongs to the Flowing Light Group, a faction that specializes in operating Interstellar Hubs. They're completely neutral and have even refused the Royal Court's requests for investigative assistance on several occasions."
"A place like that would be hard to ambush us in, wouldn't it?"
"Don't worry, I have this under control." Qing Cang's calm expression reassured the others, and they all relaxed considerably.
Meanwhile, the Copper Star breached the Star Gate. The hull trembled slightly as a blinding, dazzling light streamed in through the viewports.
Su Chen instinctively squinted. The ship only stabilized after a violent tremor.
