Accompanied by a vast, hazy electronic cloud, the Asian Dao Alliance's fleet burst out of Jupiter's orbit. After entering normal space, the fleet's speed immediately dropped to 0.9 times the height of subspace.

  Two golden patrol boats of the Romans and four all-black patrol boats of the Earth Federation are patrolling nearby, on the public communication channel, the commanders of both sides are politely asking about each other's mothers, grandmothers, and even female ancestors tens of thousands of years ago.

  On the planet of Tianxia, the Roman and Earth Federation have fully declared war, but in the solar system, I don't know which temporary ceasefire agreement is still in effect. Both sides are carefully abiding by the ban on firing the first shot, and can only gain a slight advantage through verbal sparring.

  The Asian Alliance's spaceship barely grazed the two Roman patrol boats as they flew by, and the turbulent energy flux brought from subspace sent one of the patrol boats flying over 300 kilometers away. The patrol boat spun wildly like a leaf in a hurricane, and it wasn't until the Asian Alliance's warships had flown hundreds of millions of kilometers away that this unfortunate Roman patrol boat managed to barely recover its cruising attitude with the help of its self-balancing system.

  The news was relayed back to their respective bases through the patrol boats of both sides. When the fleet of the Alliance approached the atmosphere of Dali, a fleet composed of twelve Federation Class II warships and dozens of patrol boats had already quietly waited outside the atmosphere, and a request for communication signal had also come over early.

  Gu Xie dust stood in the command cabin of the warship, looking at the scolding little Zhang Daoren who connected the communication.

  On the main screen of the warship, a federal colonel gave a majestic salute and said in a low, powerful voice, "Welcome back to Earth. Now I announce the 39873rd Special Order of the Earth Federation. Please cooperate with our actions according to the special order, don't make it difficult for us."

  The captain's words were very polite, and it was clear that he knew what kind of people were in this fleet.

  Xiao Zhang was about to burst into a loud scolding, but Gu Xiechen quickly pulled him back. With a smiling nod, he said, "Harmony, harmony, we are all citizens of the Federation and must still abide by the Federation's laws."

  The principal looked at Gu Xiechen with a grateful smile and said loudly, "According to the 39873rd special decree of the Earth Federation, all ships from the Heavenly Star Federation must go to the Hawaii base of the Federal Military Department for quarantine and observation. All goods must be inspected and disinfected by the health department, and after passing the inspection, they must be stored in a designated warehouse area for observation. The federal customs will assess the value of all goods and collect 40% war tax according to the special tax collection decree during wartime!"

  Gu Xie's face scrunched up, he shook his head and let go of Xiao Zhang Daoren's hand.

  Xiao Zhang jumped up at the first time, he furiously roared, "Nonsense! The things we brought back from TianTian Xing with great difficulty, why should we pay taxes to you? And quarantine isolation? Who gave you this power? You are abusing the power granted by the Federal citizens! Do you know?"

  The fleet reacted swiftly, all warships simultaneously withdrew their main guns, the armor plates in front of the secondary cannons, and a faint blue glow flickered on the black-painted muzzles, apparently already prepared for attack.

  "The General thundered, 'This is the latest decision of the Federal Congress. All federal citizens must obey uniformly.'"

  He let out a sigh, patted the furious Xiao Zhang Daoren's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Cooperate for now, contact your sect's seniors and see what they have to say about this." He leaned in close to Xiao Zhang Daoren's ear and whispered with a smile, "Quarantine isolation is nothing, it's just a necessary rule."

  "During wartime, the special tax collection order is in effect. You have so many storage bags, just put all the goods into the storage bags and that's it? Leave some of the cheapest goods for them to collect taxes at will."

  Xiao Zhang's eyes lit up, and with a spring in his step, he straightened his waist and smiled at the colonel, saying: "We obey, we absolutely obey, we resolutely obey all federal laws! Alas, why not put away your main cannons? We Taoist cultivators value cultivating our hearts and nature. What's the point of being so tense and on guard? Can't we just get along with you people? It's simply laughable!"

  The fleet of the Federation, with Gu Xiechen and others on board, slowly entered the atmosphere and cruised in the stratosphere for more than half an hour before arriving above Hawaii.

  The battleship slowly descended to the ground, and with a loud command from Zhang, the hatch opened. All the Taoist disciples rushed out of the battleship and charged towards the transport ships that were slow to open their hatches. Under the gaze of countless astonished eyes, these Taoist disciples squeezed through a narrow opening in the transport ship's hatch and quickly slipped inside, after which the transport ship swiftly closed its hatch.

  After a full ten minutes, the transport ships of the Dao Alliance slowly opened their cabin doors, and nearly a thousand Dao Alliance disciples walked out with big smiles on their faces.

  Gu Xie dust stood on the apron, looking around at the straight and joyful scene. On the huge apron of the Hawaiian base, hundreds of people in uniform from the Federal Health Department and Taxation, Customs Department glared at these Taoist disciples, as if they had also guessed what these Taoist disciples had done inside.

  "Gu Xie's face turned gloomy and he lost his smile. 'I don't believe you dare to search the body of a Dao Alliance disciple, this is a completely different matter!'"

  Shaking his head, Gu Xie Du loudly called out to a nearby staff member of the Federal Health Department who was wearing a white uniform, "Hey, officer, can you conduct quarantine checks on us now? I'm in a hurry."

  Several men in black suits with expressionless faces walked towards Gu Xie Chen, followed by twenty or so sharp-eyed and muscular men wearing camouflage uniforms. They stopped in front of Gu Xie Chen, and one of the men showed him his ID. "Mr. Gu Xie Chen? I'm James William, an investigator from the Fifth Division of the Federal Special Management Bureau. We have some questions for you to cooperate with. Have you ever merged with a Cristo crystal ball?"

  Gu Xie raised his eyelids, this matter couldn't be hidden from others, he lightly nodded, "Yes!"

  Zhan Yu Shi William put the documents back in his pocket, and sternly scolded Gu Xie, "Why didn't you report this matter to us at the first opportunity?"

  Gu Xie looked at James William with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. He furrowed his brow and asked, "Is that really necessary?"

  "Of course it's necessary," James William sneered. "We suspect some of your actions have endangered federal security, so please cooperate with our investigation!"

  A big man wearing camouflage clothes walked up to Gu Xiechen and took out a pair of specially reinforced heavy handcuffs, intending to cuff his hands. Another big man was more direct, grabbing a spiritual energy suppressor and putting it on Gu Xiechen's head.
