Starting from the Planetary Governor

The limousine exploded violently, the vehicle instantly torn apart, debris flying everywhere.

But amidst the flames and debris, a blue sphere of light flew out, naturally, that was Gu Hang with his Spiritual Energy Shield.

With his full strength deployed, he wasn't so easy to eliminate.

The assassins clearly hadn't given up. Their assassination attempt on Gu Hang included the initial highly penetrative toxic bullet and the subsequent high-explosive bullets, along with personnel arranged nearby for aftercare.

Suddenly, four individuals wearing optical camouflage acted. They were nearly invisible before due to their optical camouflage making them visually disappear, as well as scent-masking, thermal energy covering, and Spiritual Energy shielding.

While they remained completely still, almost no one could detect them.

Even now as they moved swiftly and their various camouflage devices were less effective, it was still quite difficult to capture their movements.

The four fired a shot each.

Their target was not aimed directly at Gu Hang, but at the empty ground around him.

Four dark green threads shot from their locations and interconnected, instantly forming a dense net.

Gu Hang suddenly felt an intense suppression of Spiritual Energy.

The assassination was clearly targeted.

These assassins had a high level of intelligence on him, knowing full well he was a formidable psychic. Even though Gu Hang surely wore the Black Stone bracelet when entering the Terra Imperial Palace, they still prepared more potent Spiritual Energy suppression techniques, in case the initial assassination attempt failed.

This assault was truly fierce.

Evidently targeting a top psychic, even as Gu Hang tore through a Subspace Rift and demonstrated Alpha-level Spiritual Energy, he still couldn't break free.

His Spiritual Energy Shield flickered twice, on the verge of collapse, the fireworks from the exploded limousine again cloaked his body; he couldn't even maintain his levitating posture, almost falling back into the fiery scene.

Seeing the next fatal strike about to follow, Gu Hang had only one move left.

He hid inside the Subspace.

The anti-magic net aimed to suppress Spiritual Energy, but it couldn't completely close off the Subspace Rift, allowing Gu Hang to slip in.

His presence out of the real world nullified all incoming attacks.

However, Gu Hang couldn't stay in the Storm God Kingdom for too long. He counted a few seconds in his mind, simultaneously summoning power within the Divine Realm, enhancing himself with lightning to form a lightning shield, then he emerged again.

The powers brought from the Subspace were still suppressed by the anti-magic net, but not instantly dissipated, providing some protective effect.

Regrettably, the Subspace Rift emerged exactly where it opened; Gu Hang couldn't immediately tear another entrance elsewhere, otherwise, he could've teleported directly.

Upon re-emerging, Gu Hang felt a surge of high temperature.

This was not from the flames produced by the limousine explosion, but from a heat melt!

In the few seconds he was missing, the assassins hadn't been idle! They directly used heat melt weapons, covering the area where Gu Hang was previously.

If Gu Hang didn't have this layer of thunder protection, he would likely have been incinerated upon exit.

But the good news was, Gu Hang felt that the intensity of Spiritual Energy suppression had significantly decreased.

Looking up, he saw among the four assassins, one lay in a pool of blood. His invisibility cloak was still in effect, but could not prevent the blood seeping out, staining him in a vivid red.

Lacroix had killed this assassin.

Gu Hang did not come to Holy Terra alone.

That would not be fitting for his status as a strong local leader. In fact, on his journey here, a whole team served him. This included a daily life team handling his everyday needs and an entire secretary team assisting his work. He often communicated in Star Speech with the Tianma Star Sector, guiding the development direction of the Alliance. The Star Language Tower on Flying Wing Star was of high standard, and Gu Hang's ship also had a high-grade onboard Star Language Tower, combined with his own high-level Spiritual Energy and increasingly skilled Star Speech communication, he could establish a stable communication line with Flying Wing Star in about an hour.

Besides these life and administrative secretaries, Gu Hang also brought a bodyguard team.

When departing, Commander Matins had proposed sending a squad of elite veterans to take care of Gu Hang's security. However, this proposal was declined by Gu Hang.

It was a bit too conspicuous.

Instead, Gu Hang selected some skilled members from the newly formed 'Glory Guard Corps'.

All members were equipped with 'Servant God' Powered Armor, all trained beyond T1 level, and had also been enlightened in the [Heroes] template.

The combat strength of these Glory Guards could basically match an Interstellar Warrior Recruit in single combat, even slightly better. If they encountered veterans, they could still compete.

Additionally, a small squad from the Storm Mage Corps also arrived.

They were, besides the Phoenix Battle Group, the highest level organized force under Gu Hang's command.
