"He broke through the ceiling, surpassed the limits of the Real World, and yet he died?" Chen Yongjie was stunned, feeling incredulous.

The news was so sudden that it made his ears ring and his mind tremble. How could such an ancient spaceship be so terrifying?

He felt a lingering fear; if he hadn't stayed by Wang Xuan's side and had instead gone to investigate immediately, he would probably be dead too!

Although they weren't in the same courtyard, Wang Xuan was still jolted awake from his deep meditation. He heard part of Old Chen's words, then suddenly disappeared and reappeared in his room.

"They... were all murdered?" Wang Xuan's heart sank.

"Yes." Chen Yongjie nodded, his brow furrowed.

Then, as if remembering something, he added, "I was talking about New Star, also in outer space, where a similar ancient spaceship suddenly appeared, its hull riddled with craters and its exterior stained red with a large amount of supernatural blood."

"Me!" Wang Xuan glanced sideways, feeling an urge to teach Chen Yongjie a lesson. Couldn't he stop talking so loudly? It had just made his heart clench.

In the outer space of New Star, an ancient spaceship, though not exactly the same, but nearly identical, appeared almost simultaneously with the one from Old Earth.

The New Star has many extraordinary individuals, including disciples of exceptionally powerful experts. A total of six teams went to investigate, and four top experts who had broken through the ceiling and whose strength was at the level of the Carefree Journey died. There were also thirty-seven other extraordinary individuals.

"It is understood that on the New Star side, they violently opened the cabin, and in an instant, even more blood flowed out!" Chen Yongjie reported.

Wang Xuan frowned. This matter was a bit strange. Why were two ancient spaceships appearing at the same time outside the New Star and the Old Earth? Who sent them back?

He began, "I think this matter is not simple; it's like sending some kind of signal to both the New Star and the Old Earth."

He looked at the photo again. In the cold void, in the pitch-black universe, the old-fashioned spaceship, bearing the marks of time, was stained with bright red, uncongealed supernatural blood, looking extremely eerie.

However, due to the shooting angle and distance, the view was not very clear, and the situation inside the hatch could not be detected.

"These are turbulent times. If this is a signal from some civilization, then things are complicated, even dangerous," Wang Xuan said.

He discussed with Old Chen that they still needed to find the Demon Lord Yanyan and have her contact the main body in the Great Curtain to ask for help, otherwise the problem would be very troublesome.

Of course, Wang Xuan himself also wanted to go. He had the Nurturing Life Furnace on him, which was his most powerful trump card. However, he would not rush in recklessly; he would act according to the situation.

The two set off overnight and returned to Ancheng. They couldn't stay in the coastal city of Mocheng any longer, so they started preparing for various tasks.

"Qing Mu, go to Xiongshan to find the Demon Lord. If you really can't find any trace of her, shout there that Fairy Fang and Zhang Daoling are in trouble." Chen Yongjie contacted Qing Mu and asked him to take people to Shennongjia immediately.

Wang Xuan went to find Huang Ming and spent the entire morning at his teahouse, waiting for news. Huang Ming and Kong Yun were from the demon race, so they should know more about the movements of the Demon Lord Yanyan.

"Old Zhang and Old Ming are such a worry. They know there's something wrong, yet they're still not careful. I hope they're Wu You," Wang Xuan muttered to himself.

Huang Ming was speechless, thinking to himself, "Isn't this guy afraid that the two patriarchs will beat him to death if they hear this?" Great Immortal Huang had mixed feelings. When he first met Wang Xuan, the two of them had even sparred.

Now, not to mention him, even the son of the Demon Ancestor, that Mental Illness, doesn't want to run into Wang Xuan. He's been beaten by the madman Wang and is even more afraid of being cut up to express his will.

Between them, on a wooden table covered with ivy and blooming with fresh flowers, the aroma of tea wafted through the air, creating a rather pleasant environment. The teahouse was exquisitely decorated, with a white, ethereal aura swirling around it.

"Brother Wang, don't worry. Kong Yun has personally contacted all parties to find the Demon Lord. Besides, Fairy Fang and the two patriarchs Qi Tian blessed with great fortune and are immortal. They will be fine."

At this point, Huang Ming lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "I have some good news for you. I've learned that something big has happened in the Immortal Realm. The person who wanted to kill you is probably... dead!"

He kept everyone in suspense, not finishing his story.

Wang Xuan was speechless. He really wanted to tell him that he had personally killed Zheng Yuantian, and that it was still being kept as a precious secret.

"I'm waiting for the latest news to confirm whether he's really dead. After all, he was a peerless master; he couldn't have died so easily," Huang Ming said. Seeing that Wang Xuan wasn't very interested, he immediately mentioned his real name and whispered, "It's Zheng Yuantian's dead!"

Wang Xuan originally didn't want to get involved, but he had to pretend to be shocked, otherwise the weasel would definitely overthink things.

"He's dead? That's shocking!" To express his shock, he had to drink three cups of tea in a row to hide his composure.

"What huge news! It's confirmed! Zheng Jueshi has fallen. He was brutally killed by a mysterious figure. It's said that not even a trace of his bones remained!" Zhou Qinghuang strode upstairs. This time, she was dressed in a school uniform, looking delicate and quiet, wearing glasses, but she had a restless heart and was far from calm.

She also brought Gu Mingxi with her. The two of them have always been together and have hardly ever been apart. Gu Mingxi didn't come to the teahouse opening last time in order to avoid Wang Xuan.

The people in the teahouse were in an uproar. There were actually some extraordinary people here, not just ordinary people, and they immediately started talking about it.

Someone chimed in, "It's confirmed! The curtain was filled with excitement. Just now, Heng Jun officially announced that Ancestor Zheng has passed away."

"It is said that the mysterious person might be a peerless master who smashed Zheng Jueshi to death with just a teapot lid!" Zhou Qinghuang said.

Wang Xuan: "..."

He was filled with mixed feelings. Had he been "overshadowed"? The lid of the Nurturing Life Furnace had become a teapot lid. This rumor was outrageous. Was someone deliberately trying to hide information about the Nurturing Life Furnace?

Regardless, the mysterious figure became a celebrity, killed Zheng Yuantian, shocked the immortal realm, and everyone was speculating about his identity, causing a huge uproar.

In this day and age, myths have come to an end, and unparalleled masters are beyond reach. Naturally, anyone who can kill Zheng Yuantian inspires awe.

"Even with the combined efforts of several patriarchs, they still couldn't trace him back to the source. It's as if he doesn't exist in this world. He's truly a godlike existence. It's a pity we have no chance to meet him," Zhou Qinghuang said regretfully.

This incident caused a stir among all the extraordinary beings, both inside and outside the Great Curtain, who were all guessing who it was, thus triggering a huge uproar.

Huang Ming asked in surprise, "Fairy Zhou, aren't you uninterested in men?"

"What do you know? In my eyes, a peerless expert, whether male or female, is absolutely stunning." Zhou Qinghuang had a scholarly air about her, but her words were sharp.

"You're going to die, shut up!" Gu Mingxi rolled her eyes, stopping her from talking nonsense.

"Some speculate that this might be a newly risen peerless expert, since it excludes all known masters in the Immortal Realm!" Zhou Shiqian said, as she was also present.

"This is astonishing! I really want to know his identity. To rise to prominence in this era, kill Zheng Jueshi, and become one of the strongest is truly remarkable!"

A group of people were discussing it animatedly.

Wang Xuan was surprised. He hadn't expected that killing Zheng Yuantian would cause such a stir and have such a great impact in the modern world.

"Found it! The Demon Lord is waiting for you at the spaceship base. We'll be heading to outer space soon!" Chen Yongjie called.

As expected, Yanyan in red was at Xiong Shan and was summoned. She informed her counterpart behind the curtain and quickly rushed over.

Wang Xuan immediately got up and rushed to the spaceship base outside Ancheng.

"Be careful. It's best to stay outside the ancient spaceship and not go in easily," Chen Yongjie warned. He wasn't going in himself; he felt he'd just be a sitting duck.

With a whoosh, a small spaceship shot through the air, bursting out of the atmosphere and quickly disappearing into the dark universe, which was actually quite a distance from Earth.

The ancient spaceship was huge, comparable to a large warship. It floated quietly, covered in blood, as if it had escaped from a pile of corpses. How much blood of extraordinary beings could have caused such a situation?

"Ancient spaceships, that's a bit troublesome. These things are quite powerful, and they're compatible with extraordinary power systems," said Demon Lord Yanyan.

This time she was very serious, without a smile on her face, quite different from her usual charming demeanor. Dressed in red, she was cold and aloof, exuding the majesty of the ruler of the demon race.

Wang Xuan also stepped out of the cabin and stood beside her, then sent the small spaceship away; it was too dangerous here.

"It's all genuine Immortal Blood, not ordinary extraordinary blood." Demon Lord Yanyan stood in outer space, looking at the cratered exterior of the ancient spaceship.

Wang Xuan was shocked. This enormous ancient ship, like an island, was covered in red blood – the blood of Transcendent Immortals? This was terrifying.

How many immortals would it take to kill them?

"That's interesting. There are such ancient ships in the outer space of New Star and Old Earth. Are there similar ones near other famous mythical planets?" Yanyan muttered to herself.

"The spaceship comes from deep space, and the blood of the Transcendent Immortals is of unknown age. Who sent it here? Is this a challenge or a plea for help?" The Demon Lord Yanyan was stunningly beautiful, but her demeanor was cold now, and a divine light flashed in her eyes.

Wang Xuan stood solemnly, silently gripping the God Slaying Banner, ready to throw himself into battle at any moment. The unknown dangers here even made the Demon Lord look grave.

"Can you sense the presence of Fairy Fang and Old Zhang?" he asked.

"What, are you worried?" The Demon Lord glanced at him and smiled faintly.

She looked at the spaceship and said, "Fang Yuzhu won't be killed so easily. That's her flesh and blood. If even she dies in there, the two of us will be in grave danger too."

"In this day and age, are there still living beings that can threaten you?" Wang Xuan asked, seizing the opportunity to answer the question in his mind, mainly because he wanted to know more.

"The universe is vast and boundless. Who can say for sure? Perhaps in some corner, on some desolate star, there might be a special race, inexplicably powerful. Although... I haven't discovered it."

I really don't know whether to call her humble or confident.

"You're very worried, huh? It's probably not because of the Netherblood, but you're worried about Zhang Daoling. Don't worry, Fang Yuzhu shouldn't die. Someone calculated that she will have a child." The Demon Lord raised her eyebrows slightly and her beautiful lips curled up. She said, "She hasn't given birth yet."

How could someone say something so outrageous? Wang Xuan was speechless.
