The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 626 - 23: Lord of Gems

The three words "Spirit Court Guard" seem to possess some sort of magic.

When the silver-white mecha emitting a strong light appeared at the forefront of the fleet, the vague sense of crisis that Lu Yuan had been feeling miraculously dissipated.

He was clearly not the only one who noticed this.

Many ships in the fleet also gradually lowered their previously raised energy protection shields.

"Tsk, tsk..."

Lu Yuan witnessed the entire transformation. Despite Lu Feng's prior emphasis, it still felt incredible to him.

"In the early years, the empire was rampant with star pirates, and they didn't just prey on passing ships; some even dared to plunder and slaughter an entire planet's populace.

Later, several large-scale eradication actions against star pirates were launched, and at one point, pirates inside the Starry Sky were completely eradicated...."

"The name Spirit Court Guard gained its fame from mountains of corpses and seas of blood...."

"To this day, the selection criteria for Spirit Court Guards continue to be raised.

To even be considered, one must have at least a level seven strength, and be truly outstanding among the sevens....

And the majority of Spirit Court mech pilots come from noble backgrounds.

Ordinary star pirates wouldn't even think of provoking them...." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Lu Feng spoke with an oddly curious tone: "Who would have thought the Purple Crystal Commerce could actually hire a Spirit Court Guard for protection and escort."

"However, I estimate it's largely a matter of convenience and coincidence...."

Lu Yuan didn't reply, still gazing at the silver-white ship serving as the protector of the fleet from afar.

Once the white mecha revealed itself to show its Spirit Court Guard identity, it returned, displaying an aura of pride and composure.

"According to Lu Feng, the nature of the Spirit Court Guard seems somewhat similar to the Forbidden Guard and Imperial Army around the former emperor....

It comprises noble elites seasoned by experience and honored by refinement.

With strong talent and promising futures, they have extraordinary backgrounds... If I were a star pirate, I wouldn't want to provoke such an existence either."

Lu Yuan thought, nonetheless, feeling completely at ease.

The star pirate crisis was naturally resolved, and [Extraordinary Contact] gained another relatively useful item.

Lu Yuan felt that ever since the Gugu Bird was no longer by his side, his luck seemed to have improved significantly.

The journey went smoothly, and five hours later, the destination finally appeared in Lu Yuan's sight: Lilva Planet.

But contrary to expectations.

Lilva, a resource planet focused on mining, presented a vast expanse of green on its surface, appearing to be rich in forest resources.

This seemed somewhat inconsistent with the data he consulted before setting out, which indicated a harsh environment and scarce resources in every aspect.

He even wondered if they had come to the wrong place, but after having Lu Feng confirm twice, he slowly dismissed his doubts.

Thanks to Lu Lingfeng having arranged everything in advance, the process of Lu Yuan and Lu Feng's ship detaching from the fleet and landing on Lilva Planet's surface went quite smoothly.

They didn't even have to go through any "security checks" and were able to land directly and smoothly at a designated landing spot for ships.

Once they landed, as soon as they stepped out of the spaceship cabin, they saw a large group of well-dressed people quickly approaching.

The leader, a chubby fellow with a friendly smile and an air of nobility, had all ten fingers adorned with gleaming gemstone rings and was already waving at him from afar, brimming with enthusiasm.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

He thought the Lu Family only had a small industry on Lilva Planet?

Why were so many people so warmly welcoming him upon arrival?

Could it be that Lu Lingfeng, his not-so-secretive father, has actually established a substantial foundation here despite claiming it's a small business?

However, reality proved that Lu Yuan was overthinking it.

Once the well-dressed, impressive group approached, they utterly ignored both him and Lu Feng and headed directly past them.

Curious, Lu Yuan turned to look back.

Only then did he notice a sleek and luxurious silver-white ship gracefully hovering next to theirs.

The welcome procession in front of the landing spot wasn't there to greet them but rather the individuals about to disembark from the silver-white ship.

"That's the Spirit Court Guard's ship."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up as he instantly recognized the identity of the silver-white ship.

Lu Feng was right.

They were indeed fortunate this time.

Not only was there a noble Spirit Court Guard within the accompanying fleet, but their destination was also the same as the Spirit Court Guard's.

"Wait a moment."

Lu Yuan halted Lu Feng, deciding not to leave in a hurry.

He remained in place, watching from afar as the door of the silver-white spacecraft opened, surrounded by a crowd.

Soon after, a figure slowly emerged from within.

It was a tall, slender young man.

Dressed in a silver-white combat suit, his long, light-gray hair draped casually over his shoulders.

His features were handsome, his demeanor graceful, exuding an innate nobility and elite aura in his every move.

The young man's perception was exceptionally sharp. Lu Yuan's gaze lingered on him for just a few seconds longer, immediately attracting the other's probing gaze.

"Let's go."

Lu Yuan quickly retracted his gaze, casually greeting Lu Feng, and turned to leave.

...

"A friend of Lord Helier?"

On the other side, a plump man with all ten fingers adorned in gemstone rings, noticing the gaze of the young man before him, glanced at the two figures departing in the distance and asked.

"No."

The youth referred to as "Helier" replied plainly.

Retracting his gaze, he looked at the group before him, presenting flowers and gemstones with a full show of welcome, and couldn't help frowning.

"You know I have always disliked these."
