After the interrogation was over, Elena returned to the city where their spaceship was. Among the four people she had sent inside her mini world, only Hongjuan got to come out. The three remaining people were still kept under the supervision of the Anomalous beings.
The battle and following interrogation had taken quite some time. So after Elena came out of the mini world, the ship maintainance was already done. The ladies were also satisfied with their shopping spree. So without wasting any time, Elena started the ship and left for the planet that Hongjuan ruled.
They traveled at full speed and managed to reach the planet called Kolediana before the estimated time. After that, Elena asked Hongjuan to get all the ladies a communication terminal of their own and to prepare a resting place for them. Elena also told the ladies to take some rest and to get ready for hectic time in the future. That was because as soon as they were well rested, Elena was planning to take them to one of the branch of the truth guild of this world.
Before meeting with the royal family of Wu, Elena was planning to get the cooperation of the truth guild. That would make the negotiation with the royal family to be easier. They also needed to be careful of the Li family as they were definitely not going to give up so easily.
While the ladies rested and Hongjuan went to buy communication devices for them, Elena started to check the Astral Link to see if she could find any weapons from this super advanced sci-fi world that could boost her combat power. But unfortunately, Elena did not managed to find anything notable in the Astral Link.
According a few comments she found on a sketchy site, most of the top tier weapons of this world were hidden as top secret trump cards by the strongest nations. So it was almost impossible to find any news about them in the Astral Link. Even if something about them leaked to the Link, the top nation effected by that would immediately block that news.
But Elena still managed to find some information about them after buying a subscription service from a truth guild application. This subscription was quite expensive but Elena did not mind it. That was because only this way she was able to get any information about top tier weapons of this world.
After opening the article related to this matter and going through the list of all the weapons mentioned, Elena fell into deep thoughts. Among the weapons mentioned in the list, there were quite a few that Elena liked. But the problem was the rarity of those weapons. Most of them were the national treasures of the various nations and they would definitely not be willing to hand them over to Elena.
Now Elena could try to negotiate with them but no matter what, for Elena it was hard to gather anything that would make a nation of this divine grade world to exchange it for their national treasure. Her Genesis grades items were definitely of the same or even a higher value. But Elena was unwilling to part ways with them. Not only they were invaluable in terms rarity, they were also sentimentally important for Elena.
After thinking hard about these facts, Elena dejectedly decided to give up on the national treasure grade items. But Elena was still not done with the list. There were still a few items which were weaker than the national treasure grade items but still were strong enough to strengthen Elena. These items were also not as rare, so Elena had a chance of getting her hands on them.
She had her eyes on 17 such items. Among the 17, 12 of them were various kinds of swords. All of those swords were of high transcendental grade usable by a powerhouse of level 7000 or above. For Elena's [Convergence of Swords] technique, she needed many swords of good quality. The higher the quality of the sword was, the stronger the power of the technique would be.
Elena had just reached above level 7000 and had managed to created swords usable for this level with her blacksmithing skills. But the materials to create them wete extremely rare and even Elena could not replace material of this high grade with her creation or material concept magic. So, so far she had only managed to create two swords of this quality. That was too little and Elena was not sure how many swords she would be able to craft before her levels would leave the swords behind. Her growth speed was too fast and even get own crafting could not keep up with it.
She was already planning to buy materials for smithing from this world, but the creation process of a sword of this level was extremely high. The main reason why Elena only had two swords of this quality for the time being was not because she lacked the material but because the third sword was still in the crafting process.
So even if she could manage to find more than enough material, Elena was unsure how much longer it would take for her to get enough swords to even perform the weakest convergence of 100 swords. That was why she was planning to speed up the process by getting her hands on the already made powerful swords.
Even though those swords were less expensive than the national treasure grade items, they were still not cheap. Elena needed to find something of similar value if she wanted to get her hands on them. So while thinking about how to take care of the Li family, Elena also started to think about how she could find something valuable enough to exchange for those swords.
...
While Elena was busy making plans, Li Suishi was doing the same. But there was a difference from before. Now his face no longer had the easy going smile from before. The secret agents of the Li family were all elites even amongst the best subordinates of the three duke families. Each one of them were extremely valuable. Even more than a blood related member of the family.
So losing two agents in a mission was a big hit to the Li family. Not only training those 4 star agents needed a lot of money, they were also given very high tier weapons. But there was one thing that still gave Li Suishi some hope.
Even though they had lost all contacts with the agents, they were still alive. Suishi had complete trust on his family's training method and the loyalty of the agents, so he was still hoping that those agents would be able to escape from their capturer.
But that was just what he had hoped. He could not make his future plans depending on that. With this display of power, it was clear that the enemy was not weak. Their family still had a few people stronger than those agents but that was all. He was still not sure about the limit to the enemy's strength.
Without knowing the true extent of that, it was impossible to make any effective plan. Li Suishi lacked information the most and was feeling troubled about it. But he had one solution in mind that would be effective no matter how strong the enemy was.
Li Suishi decided to not take any risk and to use that plan. So he stood up from his seat and got ready to make a trip to the Grand Celestial Alliance branch of this world. He was planning to go all out against this threat to his family.
