# Chapter 1969: The Silent Night Isn't So Silent
Inside the third meeting room of the Sacred Law Star Palace!
The Silicon-Based and Bose clans were still arguing endlessly. This was already who knows how many rounds of argument!
Muk's 18 mechanical prosthetic bodies stood up, raised a hand, and waved!
All the data projected in the meeting room was deleted!
Including even the beacon signal sent back from Blue Star!
This move left Xing Luo, Nai Luo, and Tiffany all completely stunned!
Deleted?
Muk stated bluntly:
(〃¤_¤)"I don't think continuing to argue will lead to any results. This is completely futile!"
"And what Silicon-Based hates most is doing futile work. We only believe in data, but even data can be wrong sometimes!"
"Perhaps it really happened, perhaps the data is just wrong. Regardless of the facts, I don't intend to argue anymore!"
"Actions that yield no results are no different from doing nothing—they waste time and energy! I wish you all a good day!"
After speaking, the 18 mechanical prosthetic bodies left the meeting room in perfect unison, departing from the Sacred Law Star Palace!
At this moment, Xing Luo and the others sitting in the meeting room were all completely stunned!
∑(°口°✡)"No more arguing? I thought they'd keep pestering forever, but who knew they'd just give up?"
Nai Luo sneered:
(￢√￢)"Isn't that good? Silicon-Based has always been like this—they never do unnecessary things. They won't do anything that doesn't benefit them!"
"During these days of constant arguing, we've been increasing our sanctions against Silicon-Based. Maybe it wasn't worth the effort, and they couldn't take it anymore?"
"They realize that arguing further won't produce any solid evidence, so they chose to give up. Isn't that even better?"
"This way, without Silicon-Based's interference, things with Blue Star can finally come to a close, and I can bring back my Creation Beast!"
A smirk curved at the corner of Xing Luo's mouth!
Finally ready to make a move?
But Tiffany frowned deeply:
(ɔ•̌_•̑)"Could this be a delaying tactic by Silicon-Based?"
"Luring our Bose clan into making a move, unsealing the Star Path to send troops to Blue Star, thereby obtaining evidence?"
Xing Luo's expression darkened: "That possibility can't be ruled out. To be safe, let's wait a while longer and confirm that Silicon-Based really doesn't intend to pursue this anymore!"
"Then we can take Blue Star with the force of thunder!"
Tiffany stood up and coldly glanced at Xing Luo:
(￢_￢)"Make sure you handle things cleanly this time. We're on the eve of the Sequence War, and our Bose clan has plenty of preparations to make as well!"
"If you mess things up again, no one will be there to clean up after you!"
Xing Luo's face darkened, and he could only nod in agreement!
In the blink of an eye, the meeting room was empty. Xing Luo was about to return to the Bose Star Domain to handle affairs when Kunta came looking for him, his face full of anxiety!
(งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง"Lord Xing Luo! I have something important to report!"
Xing Luo frowned: "Why are you here? Weren't you supposed to be with Norman at Black Street, watching the Apocalypse clan situation?"
Kunta said urgently: "S-something terrible has happened! Young Master Norman has gone missing!"
Xing Luo: ???
∑(°口°✡)"Missing? Are you sure? In this Thousand Stars City, who would dare touch my son?"
Kunta's forehead was covered in sweat. Dare touch? They even cut off his horn, dammit!
So he quickly recounted the whole story.
Xing Luo's eyes widened: "That guy named Jiangnan actually has the ability to harm a Bose body? How is that possible?"
"You're saying my son might have fallen into the hands of that Jiangnan?"
"What about the battle footage? Show it to me! Useless piece of crap, can you do anything right?"
He had been arguing with Silicon-Based all these days and hadn't paid attention to what was happening on Black Street!
In just a moment's inattention, his son was gone?
Xing Luo immediately started watching the battle footage. The more he watched, the more shocked he became, the tighter his frown grew.
Using spatial spirit techniques without summoning a contract beast? A VIP version of spirit contract? Bullshit!
This looked exactly like spatial system abilities!
Combined with this guy's name...
Xing Luo had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it really be that Jiangnan from Blue Star?
But how was that possible? The Star Path had long been sealed. With such a distance, how did he get out?
To be safe, Xing Luo directly called Karl via horn communication!
"Hey? You idiot! I'm sending you a video—see if you can identify who this is?"
Inside the Mars orbital sightseeing sphere, Karl was resting his chin on his hand, worried. Even if he went back, he probably wouldn't have a good time!
It wasn't that he didn't want to stay on Blue Star; it was just that the situation there was truly unbearable!
Just then, Karl jolted violently. The Star Lord was contacting him?
Karl closed his eyes, and glassy light flickered around him as he quickly received the video feed!
His heart was trembling with shock!
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"Damn! Isn't this Jiangnan? Warp Bubble! Rift-Saw Blade! And that Void Black Hole! Holy crap!"
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅)"Hiss—sandwich warp bubble? That's that haunting kid Jiangnan's signature move! Lord Star Lord? Where did you get this video?"
He was an old opponent. Even if Jiangnan turned to ashes, Karl could recognize him in the battle video!
Upon hearing this news, Xing Luo's heart clenched violently!
"Are you sure it's that Jiangnan from Blue Star? Where was this filmed? At the Tianze Arena in Thousand Stars City!"
"My son is missing! There's a high probability he was kidnapped by him!"
Karl immediately bristled, standing up abruptly!
(✡ʘ̅口ʘ̅✡)"What? Impossible!"
Jiangnan ran all the way to Thousand Stars City? And even kidnapped the Star Lord's son?
The Star Path was sealed, and even Karl couldn't go back, forced to wander in the starry sky. How did Jiangnan get there?
Xing Luo gritted his teeth: "Why is it impossible? Could the video be fake? Are you sure this is really Jiangnan? Is he human?"
If it really was him, then things were serious!
Karl was full of confusion:
(✡•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣"Impossible, right? I just received the latest intel today—Jiangnan is still on Blue Star!"
"He even participated in the sea beast tide suppression operation this afternoon, showing up openly! He's still on Blue Star! How could he possibly—"
Xing Luo was confused. There was another Jiangnan on Blue Star?
Then who was this black guy?
(￢益￢✡)"Are you sure the one on Blue Star is the real Jiangnan, not a stand-in? Could the real body have already come to Thousand Stars City?"
Karl's forehead was drenched in sweat. Remembering Jiangnan's outrageous moves when they fought over the Creation Beast in the dimensional gap, it was entirely possible!
(•́ㅂ•̀٥)"I-I can't be sure!"
Xing Luo was furious:
(ꐦ▼皿▼)"Worthless! Absolute garbage! Did I send you to Blue Star to eat shit? You can't even keep track of one person?"
"Confirm it for me immediately! Send me a message as soon as you do!"
"If this black guy really is Jiangnan, we're screwed!"
Karl's expression remained mostly unchanged. Having been through the baptism of Blue Star's essence, he was no longer fazed by mere insults like "worthless"—child's play!
(–﹏–||)"Eh? I-I have to go confirm? But the situation on Blue Star right now is a bit..."
Xing Luo glared: "A bit what?"
The anger in his voice was barely contained!
Karl swallowed his jelly-like form: "N-nothing. I'll personally take some people to confirm..."
With that, he ended the horn communication!
Karl took a deep breath, pulled out the Holy Judgment Sword, gripped it tightly, and looked toward Blue Star with a solemn expression!
As if heading into some kind of battlefield!
(✡•̀益•́)"Any of you want to come with me to Blue Star to handle something?"
At this moment, whether it was Igor, 07, or even Xiangzhi and Vivian, everyone averted their eyes, whistling and saying nothing.
(⁰⁷◔₃◔ิ)(✡￢₃￢)(٥´-₃-)...
Karl's face grew even darker...

Meanwhile, on Shenji Star One in Thousand Stars City!
Muk was frantically sending data, deploying resources, preparing for the upcoming operation!
One of Tao's mechanical prosthetic bodies appeared: "Lord Muk, the picometer robot injection failed. We couldn't locate Jiangnan's position or obtain real-time body data..."
"He clearly drank that tea—I watched him drink it. But for some reason, it—"
Muk turned his head, expression unreadable: "Don't do things like this again. This human managed to break out of Blue Star under Sacred Star's oppression and cause all this chaos."
"He's not someone your little tricks can handle. It'll only backfire and increase his psychological defenses."
"There's no need to control him. If he still wants to find a way for humanity to survive, he can only cooperate with Silicon-Based's actions. He'll be a qualified puppet."
"Because what he wants, only we can provide!"
Tao nodded in acknowledgment!
"Delete your own memory data regarding this incident. Your clearance level is insufficient to handle this matter. I will take full responsibility!"
Tao: "Understood! Lord Muk!"
Muk then contacted the anti-life laboratory, urging them to speed up production!
After all, it was uncertain when the Bose clan would jump into the trap. It was better to finish the items quickly and send them to Jiangnan!
---
And now, on Black Street, it was late into the night. Jiangnan stretched lazily, slowly clenching his fist after completing his consolidation!
His gaze was steady and resolute. His foundation had thickened by another bit!
Turning to look at Ye Yuan and the others, they had already fallen asleep at the table. Xing Cheng's drool was flowing everywhere!
Jiangnan stood up, tiptoed over to them, pulled out a blanket, and covered Mo Mo, Olivia, and the others!
Ai Jiang tilted her head: ᥬ(•︠～•︡)᭄"Master?"
Jiangnan raised his index finger to his lips:
(͡°ก͡°)"Shh—Can you contact the Sentinel Legion back home?"
Ai Jiang nodded: "Yes. Do you want to contact home?"
Jiangnan grinned and pulled Ai Jiang into the inner room: "Come with me!"
At this point, it was time to communicate with home and prepare Blue Star for what was coming!
According to the plan, Xing Luo would soon discover his human identity. Fearing that he would blabber everything, he would launch operations on both Jiangnan's end and Blue Star's end simultaneously!
Time had almost run out since Jiangnan captured Norman!
Although he hadn't been gone long, Jiangnan felt as if a long time had passed!
He also missed Xuexue and Lang Mie a bit...
