The Death of He Yin Marquis, Zhao Xing's Gains!
"I don't know what you're talking about—" Although the He Yin Marquis was somewhat surprised, his expression remained unchanged. He was not going to be silenced by Zhao Xing's few words.
During his call with Zhao Xing, he frantically ordered people to find out where the secret line through which Zhao Xing contacted him came from.
What does Zhao Xing, a native of the second realm, know?
The suspicions that he sought out the Shadow Sanctum to issue assassination missions, and the suspicions that he is from the Dongyan Ancient Clan, must have been informed by the important figures of the Purple God Mansion.
It could be the Tianyuan Mansion Lord, or Fairy Yuqing, or even Purple Moon —in short, Zhao Xing was just a decoy used to test him.
He Yin Marquis did not believe that Zhao Xing Zhao Xing know anything or make any decisions.
You'll find out soon enough.
Zhao Xing said something indifferently, and then cut off the communication.
The He Yin Marquis quickly arrived at his staff residence, where a large organization was operating. Soon, someone reported a message.
"My lord, the Zhilo World Star and forcibly opened the Zhou Tian Realm to contact you should be ' Starfire '."
?
"What?" He Yin Marquis was startled. "How could this be?!"
"Starfire" is the code name for the Red Star Empire's intelligence agency in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, but the Red Star Embassy would never acknowledge it.
How could our embassy have planted spies?
"That's the only possibility," the subordinate reported. "Red Star's communication systems are extremely Gao Ming; none of the other forces in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom can do that."
"The Red Star Empire— " He Yin Marquis made many connections in an instant, and then he was startled.
How could the Purple God Mansion have gotten involved with the Starfire Organization?
Even borrowing a communication line isn't something just anyone can do.
"That's impossible. There's no way the Purple Moon Mansion Lord could know anything about that. Even if that item ended up in his hands..."
He couldn't possibly see anything amiss.
He Yin Marquis frowned, feeling as if he had fallen into a trap.
He dared not do anything and immediately went to his secret base, wanting to ask the pyramid for instructions.
However, as soon as he stepped out, he ran into his commander, who was none other than the Third Realm "Mo Er" whom he had once sent out to capture Zhao Xing.
By this time, Mo Er had long since recovered. Due to his incompetence, he was no longer sent out on field missions and was instead dispatched by the He Yin Marquis to patrol outside the Realm Star.
Mo Er reported a strange thing to him:
"My lord, this morning, I led a patrol outside the Zhilo World Star and captured a low-grade Starry Sky Dao Soldiers on the outer layer of the Boundary Wall."
He Yin Marquis stopped in his tracks, knowing that his subordinates would not casually report ordinary matters.
Commander Mo Er was clearly puzzled as well. He organized his thoughts, "The Star Patrol Department doesn't know who left it here. The defense system on Zhiluo Star didn't give any warning and didn't detect anything unusual—..."
"Get to the point!" He Yin Marquis interrupted, "What did you find? You wouldn't be stupid enough to bring it back directly, would you?"
"No, sir. That thing is still outside the Realm Star. We are scanning it, and I dare not bring it in casually."
Commander Mo Er quickly replied, "It's a transparent box with an inscription addressed to the He Yin Marquis."
A transparent box? Wearing the uniform of a low- World Star Dao Soldiers?
Mo Er continued, "I only scanned it from the outside with a detector; I didn't open it. But it's transparent, so I could see it."
"What did you see?" He Yin Marquis asked with a stern face.
"There's a deck of cards inside." Commander Mo Er's expression was somewhat strange. "There's nothing else."
"What?" He Yin Marquis was taken aback.
He pondered for a long time before saying, "Bring the item back to me, and remember, no one is allowed to open it."
"Yes."
Since it was just outside the Realm Star, it only took Mo Er a few minutes to go and return.
When He Yin Marquis held the transparent box, he discovered that it really was just a World Star Dao Soldiers, and the lowest grade at that.
He dismissed his men and opened the box.
Inside the box was a beautifully packaged deck of cards.
He Yin Marquis immediately realized that although the item was exquisitely made, it was not of high quality and posed no danger.
However, he had never seen such a card box and cards before.
After hesitating for a long time, the He Yin Marquis finally decided to pick it up and take a look.
"Metaphor~"
The card box glowed, and a figure appeared on it.
This is what Qing Yuzi looks like. Quite by chance, he got the ace.
"All other forms of phenomena are but ants; only I alone reign supreme, dominating heaven and earth!"
He Yin Marquis was stunned for a moment.
He then began to study the Qing Yu Card, using the information in the card box as a distraction.
When he came to his senses, he had unknowingly walked up to the pyramid.
He Yin Marquis was somewhat bewildered.
Because the protection mechanism within his Divine Soul was triggered, he wasn't playing alone, but rather playing with another divine thought within his Divine Soul.
"Elder," He Yin Marquis's voice was hoarse. "I—"
Before he came to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, East Yan Ma Elder had instructed him, "I left a divine thought in your body. If I awaken, it means that you have reached a moment of life and death."
He Yin Marquis had no idea why this was happening. He hadn't done anything, just received a communication and played a game of cards. How did he end up at a critical moment of life and death?
"East Yan Zhen, your mission has failed." The voice echoed in the mind of He Yin Marquis.
"You failed once an era ago, and I sent you to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom to atone for your sins. Now you have failed again."
"Elder, I don't understand." The He Yin Marquis's eyes were filled with confusion. He was not afraid of death, but he did not want to die so unwillingly.
"There are many things I don't understand either," Elder Ma Yan said. "Why would someone hide our plan in a joke?"
"This is an unshuffled deck of cards; someone had already played half of it before it was delivered to us."
"He seems to know our secret; I suspect he knows even more than I do."
"The relic's function seems to have failed him. A mysterious observer has appeared in the hidden game. This must be related to a mistake from an era ago, and it's bigger than we imagined."
"Qing Yu Card, I see—.— Qing Yuzi is very likely a seasoned Reincarnation, or even—.—"
"Now the elders are going to correct the plan--" Elder Ma muttered to herself, her voice seemingly filled with confusion.
"But first, you need to make a sacrifice."
The He Yin Marquis could not believe it.
An enigmatic bystander? Does this refer to Zhao Xing? Or Qing Yuzi? But wasn't Qing Yuzi dead?
Elder Ma's soliloquy plunged He Yin Marquis into a tremendous shock. His mind was in utter confusion, and he couldn't understand what was going on at all.
After all, his Dao Domain Realm was just one link in the chain of the vast ancient clans, and he was unaware of the overall situation.
He broke through to the Dao Domain Realm only after receiving the "dedication" of a preaching scholar.
However, he quickly accepted his fate.
Because Elder Ma made arrangements for him, exactly as Zhao Xing had previously stated:
"Before you die, contact the Shadow Sanctum and withdraw the assassination mission."
"Yes." He Yin Marquis nodded respectfully. Death was not frightening to him. As long as the ancient clan could regain its glory, he might be able to be resurrected in the future.
This matter arose because of him. The mistake he made 1.2 million years ago (one era) led to many variables, and now it is up to him to make amends.
After speaking with Elder Ma, He Yin Marquis immediately contacted the Shadow Sanctum and cancelled the mission related to Zhao Xing.
He then cleaned up everything on the Zhilo World Star, including the pyramid.
He Yin Marquis chose a very common way to die—failing to break through his cultivation Going Berserk.
To minimize the consequences, He Yin Marquis first drove away all the other major forces stationed on the Realm Star.
Under the guise of seclusion.
Heaven Star Martial Hall, Origin Sea Hall, Tai Yue Merchant Guild, etc.
After these people left, He Yin Marquis killed all the people on the Zhilo World Star, including his most capable subordinates.
"Puff".
An explosion occurred on the Zhilo World Star, and the entire small world was annihilated in the explosion.
This Dao Domain Realm, who arrived in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom an era ago, died so simply.
The Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, the Purple Moon Star System.
"What? The He Yin Marquis is dead?"
The Purple Moon Mansion Lord had just Realm Boat when he received a message.
"Yes, Martial Uncle." Mu Luo nodded and said, "He Going Berserk and destroyed himself. Before he died, he killed all his subordinates and people. Only Going Berserk could do that."
"I had just found out something and was about to take action when he died?" Purple Moon Mansion Lord sneered. "His death was quite coincidental."
The Purple Moon Mansion Lord spent a thousand years investigating He Yin Marquis and the forces behind him.
Although he suspected that He Yin Marquis was a member of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, he had no evidence and could not arbitrarily kill a Dao Domain Realm Marquis appointed by an ancient kingdom.
The Dongyan Ancient Clan has members residing in various ancient kingdoms. Without figuring out the extent of the power behind the He Yin Marquis and which branch he belongs to, he naturally wouldn't take any action.
After a thousand years, the Purple Moon Mansion Lord confirmed that He Yin Marquis was merely a minor figure with no significant background. He was preparing to make his move when, unexpectedly, He Yin Marquis Going Berserk and died!
He never imagined that this matter could be related to Zhao Xing, since in the eyes of the Purple Moon Mansion Lord, Zhao Xing was a victim who was unjustly implicated.
"Su Qin," the Purple Moon Mansion Lord said coldly, "Go and investigate whether He Yin Marquis has any other relatives."
"Find them and kill them all!"
The Purple Moon Mansion Lord harbored intense hatred for He Yin Marquis. Although He Yin Marquis was now dead, the hatred in his heart had not been vented.
"Yes, Martial Uncle." Su Qin nodded. He Yin Marquis was at the Dao Domain Realm. With his death, his backer collapsed. If He Yin Marquis had any relatives, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with them.
Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, in the north.
Ren Feng, the leader of the Starfire Group, was sitting cross-legged in an Earth Palace on a Fate Star. He was a Dao Domain Realm expert and the person in charge of receiving members of the Empire who needed assistance.
Ren Feng was at the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm. In front of him were many Red Star Disk Red Star Disk, which were fixed and connected to various star systems of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, like a net.
Suddenly, an intricate star chart moved in front of him, forcibly cutting in line and moving to the front, emitting beams of light that quickly coalesced into a phantom.
"Aries, what's up?"
"Boss," Aries said, "A few days ago you instructed me to borrow Starfire's communication channels for a member of the royal family. He sent a message to a Dao Domain Realm expert in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, and not long after, that Dao Domain Realm died."
"Unnatural death?" Ren Feng frowned.
"The official judgment of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom is that Going Berserk and died by self-destruction," Aries said. "But the He Yin Marquis has some shady past, and he might be involved in some trouble."
"I understand," Ren Feng nodded. "You don't need to worry about it."
"Yes." Aries nodded and disappeared. Ren Feng then made a finger movement and took the initiative to contact Jing Yan.
"Team Leader Ren." Jing Yan's figure appeared on the star chart.
"Jing Yan, you've used up your Starfire chances," Ren Feng said. "Don't look for me again for the next ten thousand years."
"Team Leader Ren!" Jing Yan shrieked, "Didn't I spend money? I donated ten million Red Star Coin to Starfire as funding! I only borrowed encrypted communication access once, how does that involve my Starfire permissions?"
"You used our channels to send a message to a Dao Domain Realm, and that Dao Domain Realm committed suicide not long after," Ren Feng said irritably. "Fortunately, his death was ruled a natural one, but do you think ten million is a fair amount of money?"
"Starfire cannot be easily dragged into the conspiracies of local powers."
"What?" Jing Yan was also stunned, but he reacted quickly. Because Ren Feng's words left room for interpretation!
"Team Leader Ren, I'm sorry to trouble you. I'll donate another ten million," Jing Yan said.
"This isn't about money."
"Twenty million!" Jing Yan gritted his teeth. If his Starfire privileges were frozen, he wouldn't be able to stay near the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom; he'd have no security!
"Call back within ten years," Ren Feng said. "Next time, remember to be more specific."
"Okay, okay." Jing Yan quickly nodded with a smile.
After the communication was cut off, Jing Yan's face immediately fell.
"What utter nonsense about being implicated!"
"I just think the money isn't enough!"
Jing Yan grumbled and cursed.
Because of the Empire's regulations, it's difficult for Ren Feng and his group to make money outside. The only way to put money in their own pockets is through side income like this, but of course, they can't cause trouble for the organization.
But what could possibly go wrong just from using a communication channel? Is Starfire afraid of that? They just want more money.
Jing Yan certainly couldn't afford 30 million Red Star Coin.
However, Zhao Xing paid for it all, so he wasn't worried. He knew that Zhao Xing had made a lot of money over the years.
"Brother, Starfire wants more money," Jing Yan said.
"How much more?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Add another twenty million," Jing Yan said.
"I'll give it to you," Zhao Xing nodded. He knew Starfire's rules, of course.
Logically speaking, Starfire would never do anything for outsiders. It's only because Jing Yan has such authority that he's willing to spend a little money.
Regardless of how easy or difficult it is for others, borrowing channels from Starfire will cost a lot of money.
If he didn't take the path of Red Star, he wouldn't be able to achieve the results he wanted.
Zhao Xing immediately transferred 35 million to Jing Yan, 5 million of which was a benefit for Jing Yan.
"The He Yin Marquis is dead." Jing Yan looked at Zhao Xing.
Since news of the He Yin Marquis's death had not yet spread, it was Starfire who received the news first.
"Is he the Dao Domain Realm you offended before?"
"Not bad." Zhao Xing nodded.
"Brother," Jing Yan said with some suspicion, "Your methods are a bit too unconventional!"
He now also knows that Zhao Xing is communicating with the He Yin Marquis.
Then, the He Yin Marquis went Going Berserk.
Jing Yan subconsciously felt that Zhao Xing was inextricably linked to this matter.
However, he couldn't figure out how Zhao Xing had done it.
"You really ascended from the Desolate Territory, and you really went to the Empire?"
Jing Yan increasingly felt that Zhao Xing was somewhat mysterious.
"Don't ask, buddy," Zhao Xing said. "I can't tell you, and I don't want to make up any excuses to lie to you."
"It's alright, if you can't say, then forget it." Jing Yan waved his hand. Everyone has secrets. He wasn't from the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, so he just asked casually and didn't care what was happening here.
Countless tales of love and hate unfold in the universe every day; he doesn't have that much curiosity.
"Your relationship with Starfire is quite strong," Zhao Xing asked.
"That's right. If I were adventuring alone in the universe, wouldn't I be dead long ago without some power and background?" Jing Yan laughed. "If I just ran into a war, I'd be dead."
How many more times can you use this line?
"There's only one free service left." Jing Yan held up one finger. "Any extra services will cost money, but Starfire isn't some underground organization. Even if we're paying for services, it has to be in the Empire's interest, or at least not harm it, before we'll hire them."
"As for what is in the interest of the empire, that requires a case-by-case analysis."
Zhao Xing nodded. If he were to settle down in the future, the Red Star Empire would be a good choice. Getting on this front would provide more opportunities and a better chance of survival, so spending a little money wouldn't be a big deal.
"The He Yin Marquis is dead." Inside the Yellow Sand Mansion, Du Yun frowned. "Going Berserk and destroyed himself."
"Very well, the Purple God Mansion has one less enemy."
He Yin Marquis has a grudge against Qing Yuzi, the Demon Purple Moon Mansion Lord, then he also has a grudge against the Purple God Mansion.
He never imagined that this matter could be related to Zhao Xing. After all, in the eyes of the Purple Moon Mansion Lord Du Yun,
Zhao Xing is a victim who was unjustly implicated.
"Cancel?" In the public star sea area, Jiu was waiting for the next opportunity to make a move, but unexpectedly someone from the Dark Hall contacted him to cancel the mission.
"Yes, this mission is terminated," the Black Robe phantom said. "According to regulations, the employer cancels the mission, but the paid reward will not be refunded, and the Dark Hall will pay you the full amount."
If the employer cancels the contract, the money will not be refunded.
This means that Jiu Bai will receive 150 billion without losing its own deposit.
"Great, great, great!" Jiu Xi exclaimed with delight.
After careful analysis, he realized that completing the task within the deadline would be very difficult.
After all, if you miss the first time, it will be much harder to succeed the second time when you're on your guard.
Xianjiu is prepared to lose his deposit and reduce the success rate of the mission.
But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and the Dark Hall actually cancelled the mission.
"I'm incredibly lucky," Jiu Mei smugly Qitian. "It seems the Illusory God Star System is my blessed land. I should stay here a little longer and try my luck."
Everyone was happy after the He Yin Marquis died.
Failed breakthroughs and Going Berserk are not uncommon in the universe, and he was quickly forgotten without causing any ripples.
The most popular topics in the ancient kingdom are still the Illusory God Star System, the Yueluo Cemetery, and the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly.
Zhao Xing then arrived at another base of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom— the Tianji Star Land.
"King Tianji is at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm. He is stationed here, relying on the perfect land-encircling array and the Starry Sky Fortress. His defense is at its maximum. Even Reincarnation Realm Cannot Be Killed him."
"This has already been proven when friction occurred between the eighteen ancient kingdoms in the past."
Zhao Xing looked at the magnificent Tianji Hall in the distance, which was the residence of the King Tianji.
"I'll find a place to stay here and wait."
He Yin Marquis is dead, but he has not yet settled his karmic ties with the Dongyan Ancient Clan.
Zhao Xing is now waiting for the other party to complete this process a year after the death of the He Yin Marquis.
"Buzz~"
An invisible force swept across the starry sky above Zhao Xing's head.
Zhao Xing sensed something, and the souls within the Three Gods Fate Palace opened their eyes.
The Fate Soul's eyes were filled with illusions. He saw a tall and majestic figure standing on an ancient Star Continent.
In the middle were countless Void River, and Zhao Xing and this figure gazed at each other from afar.
"They're here."
Zhao Xing's Three Souls lit up immediately.
This is a profound form of causal communication, a means for powerful individuals to communicate over long distances.
These methods are relatively private means of communication, so there is a distance between people Heavenly Timing.
Of course, this method can be turned into an attack at any time.
However, if the enemy crosses the river to attack, King Tianji will know.
The imposing figure stared at Zhao Xing, but his gaze was strange, as if someone was standing behind Zhao Xing.
A moment later, he conveyed a vague thought:
"Qing Yuzi, you and my clan are entangled in the matter of Shen Luo, but it was you who crossed the line first."
Because they were so far apart, it took Zhao Xing a while to understand.
He didn't respond for a long time, but the other party was very patient.
This powerful figure from the Dongyan Tribe also knew that he could not kill Zhao Xing, because in his mind, the current Zhao Xing was the reincarnation of Qing Yuzi, and a senior Reincarnation Realm at that.
What is a senior Reincarnation Realm? It is someone who actively Reincarnation, solely for the purpose of Attain Dao and Become God!
Those who dare to actively Reincarnation must be confident in their ability to cultivate again, and they already have successful experience, so they are certainly not to be underestimated.
"The Dongyan Ancient Clan has no intention of obstructing your path."
"Now that East Yan Zhen is dead, are you willing to distance yourself from this and settle all karmic debts?"
"I will not offend others unless they offend me." Zhao Xing, like an emotionless robot, finally uttered his first words. "I will leave the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom within a thousand years."
Upon receiving this reply, the powerful figure from the Dongyan Tribe nodded slightly.
The current situation is that Qing Yuzi has a handle on their Dongyan Ancient Clan, but after Qing Yuzi understands...
They didn't dare to say it.
If he dares to do so, he will face endless assassination attempts from the Dongyan Ancient Clan.
The Dongyan Ancient Clan did not want any further accidents to happen.
Qing Yuzi is not important to him, as long as he does not hinder the Dongyan Ancient Clan.
The original approach taken by the He Yin Marquis was not wrong. If Qing Yuzi (Zhao Xing) was just an ordinary genius, then it would have been most appropriate to capture him, retrieve the sacred object, and then kill him to silence him.
That won't work now, because Zhao Xing (Qing Yuzi) really has something!
From that unshuffled deck of cards, the Dongyan Ancient Clan gleaned a great deal of information. It was this information that led the elders of the Dongyan Ancient Clan to conclude that Qing Yuzi (Zhao Xing) was a seasoned Reincarnation!
There was no major enmity or conflict of interest among us. Since we are on the same level and willing to reconcile, that would be the best outcome.
"Fellow Daoist, could you please return my clan's sacred artifact?" The powerful figure from the Dongyan Tribe still wanted his belongings back.
Although they found a replacement after losing it a century ago, the replacement was never as good as the original.
"We can make an exchange."
"You've hindered my cultivation for a lifetime, and you still want to go back?" Zhao Xing chuckled lightly.
In fact, he still doesn't know what the sacred object of the Dongyan Tribe is.
He is not the reincarnation of Qing Yuzi; it's a complete misleading attempt to substitute Plum Replaces Peach.
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhao Xing's smile vanished. Now that he was putting on an act, he was going to keep it up.
"I am only at the Third Realm of cultivation now. If I give you the item, then my words are arrogant and baseless."
"Then you can take the opportunity to kill me—do you think I, Qing Yuzi, am new to the universe?"
"Peace can only exist between us if we maintain a balance of deterrence."
"The item belonging to your clan is not bound by cause and effect. Even if it were here with me, I could still clear both cause and effect."
The powerful figure from the Dongyan Tribe remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Just as you said, my Dongyan Ancient Clan swore by our ancestors that we will settle all karmic ties with Fellow Qing Yuzi and will never interfere with each other again."
Zhao Xing also said, "I, Qing Yuzi, swear by the power of Reincarnation that I will settle all karmic debts with the Dongyan Ancient Clan from now on, never interfere with each other, and will leave the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom within a thousand years."
The oath has virtually no binding force; it's just like buying insurance.
If someone really breaches the contract, there's actually no real cost; it's just a matter of a single Earth God Pill Earth God Pill, depending on its grade.
What truly sustained this oath was Zhao Xing's fear of the Dongyan Ancient Clan's relentless pursuit and the Dongyan Ancient Clan's fear that Zhao Xing would expose their conspiracy.
The only advantage of making a vow is that both parties will sense the moment who breaks it.
Once detected, the other party can immediately take countermeasures.
"Buzz~"
One of the Karma Thread within the Three Gods Fate Palace is broken.
The deal has been reached.
The illusions before his eyes vanished, and Zhao Xing opened his eyes.
He was slightly sweating, but fortunately, after obtaining the power of will, he remained calm and focused throughout the process. It was impossible for Old Ancestor Dongyan to probe his thoughts through causal communication.
The combination of the Three Gods Fate Palace and the Slaughter Thought Blade allows Zhao Xing to conceal himself at a deep level. If the opponent were standing right in front of him, then it might be possible.
"I have been in this universe for a thousand years. Judging from the time concept of the powerful, the Dongyan Ancient Clan is about to launch their plan."
"Logically speaking, the Dongyan Ancient Clan probably won't cause any unnecessary trouble at this point," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "But I still need to be extra cautious. I still need to find out what that sacred artifact is as soon as possible."
Zhao Xing has no idea what he has taken from the Dongyan Ancient Clan; he is acting entirely based on his knowledge from his previous life.
In other words, he doesn't actually have any credible evidence right now, because what the Dongyan Ancient Clan is trying to do is as absurd as saying the world is going to be destroyed on Earth.
It's impossible for any important person to believe this unless concrete evidence is presented.
"Now there are only 1,300 years left until the time when I entered the universe version of my previous life. With such a short time, the destruction of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom is probably beyond saving," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Let's go as far as we can."
On the other side, in the vast cosmos, in the deep Void River, a pyramid drifts in the dark waters.
Influenced by the void, it appears dark.
Next to this largest, dark-colored pyramid, there are countless smaller pyramids.
After the conversation ended, the powerful members of the Dongyan Tribe also discussed matters with Elder Ma and others.
"Although an agreement has been reached with Qing Yuzi, such a significant change in the overall plan necessitates its swift implementation," Elder Ma said worriedly. "Furthermore, Qing Yuzi possesses the original sacred artifact. If he remains in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom..."
"It could have repercussions; even if we let him go, there will be endless troubles in the future."
"Leave? He can't leave." The powerful figure from the Dongyan Tribe who was communicating with Zhao Xing said calmly. He was dressed in the robes of Fate Master, with stars above his head and the sun and moon beneath his feet.
"Qing Yuzi did see some things, but what he knew was only the tip of the iceberg."
"How could he possibly influence the ' Fate Decree Situation ' that our clan has laid out over countless eras?"
"He thought he was an observer, but in reality, the moment he found out, he was already caught up in the game."
"Not bad." Another imposing figure, exuding a powerful aura, sat on the throne. His entire being was icy cold, as if countless figures stood beside him.
"Everyone in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, including the Yuan Sea Kingdom Lord, will become tribute! How could Qing Yuzi, who has not yet recovered his cultivation, escape the [Sacrificial God Tablet]? His name is already on the Sacrificial God Tablet; he is merely delaying his death."
"Qing Yuzi is a minor issue. The priority now is to gather the fragments of the [Mysterious Spirit History] as soon as possible." Another powerful member of the Dongyan Tribe spoke up. His voice seemed to come from the past, even though he wasn't actually there. Various chaotic images of the past appeared above his head.
"Once you obtain the [Mysterious Spirit History], you will disappear permanently after the destruction of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and will be forgotten by everyone."
The elders of the Dongyan Ancient Clan soon began discussing other important matters.
On the other side.
After the event, Zhao Xing planned to leave Tianji Star Land and return to the Hutou Star Continent.
"Brother Zhao, you're leaving already? You've only been here for a little over a year." Cen Qionghua, Le Yao, Yu Tianqing came to see Zhao Xing off. Zhao Xing came to Tianji Star Land under the pretext of visiting a friend.
Now, Cen Qionghua and Le Yao have both reached the second realm of perfection, and Yu Tianqing has even reached the Third Realm.
After being separated for several hundred years, the three of them accumulated a large amount of wealth in a short period of time by relying on the rule that "killing will cause the tomb formation to appear".
Because all three were quite talented and received a lot of resources, their progress was also quite rapid.
Of course, Yu Tianqing's success was purely due to his talent. He didn't hire any teachers or instructors, yet he still managed to advance from the second to the Third Realm.
"I just came to sit for a while," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "I have things to do when I get back."
"What could you possibly want? All you do is cultivate, cultivate!" Cen Qionghua cried out. "I beg you, please stop cultivating!"
Seeing that you've reached the Third Realm makes me feel bad, brother.
"Hua Zi, you're so honest," Le Yao teased. "Using a joke to tell the truth?"
"Hahaha."
Le Yao then turned to Zhao Xing: "Brother Zhao, the situation at Yueluo Cemetery is complicated right now, and exploration has become extremely difficult. You should relax a bit."
Even Yu Tianqing nodded. He didn't agree with relaxing the restrictions, but rather with the fact that the danger level at Yueluo Cemetery had increased, and many people were waiting at the logistics base until the situation eased before going in.
"Sure," Zhao Xing said. "Let's go visit Tian Qing's hometown sometime and take our families on a trip."
"It's a promise," Cen Qionghua said. "Stop secretly studying."
"Must!"
Upon returning to Tiger Gate Star Land, Zhao Xing immediately began preparations for the Great Zhou's relocation.
After paying the fees to the Starfire Group, he still had over 50 billion Origin Sea Coin.
Now that he has reached the Third Realm, whether in terms of strength or wealth, he has more than enough to move a small Realm Star dynasty like the Great Zhou.
"Che, starting this year, recall everyone from the Great Zhou and begin preparing for the relocation plan," Zhao Xing said. "Then have Liu Tianning take on a mission to the Illusory God Star System and bring you all over."
A thousand years have passed, Liu Tianning has also reached the Source Origin Realm, having returned from the [Tianxing Continent] 30 years ago.
Now, Old Liu has reached the first realm of perfection. In the entire Great Zhou, besides himself and Yun Tian Dao, only Liu Tianning...
Purple Bone Celestial Venerable, Xia Jing, Ji Che have reached the Source Origin Realm.
Purple Bone broke through 180 years ago, while Xia Jing broke through 150 years ago, when Zhao Xing was in South Luo.
Purple Bone also encountered threats and arrests from the He Yin Marquis. So after breaking through, he tried his best to stay in the Tian Yuan Star System and refused to go out to take on missions, preferring to do missions that didn't pay.
"Brother, are we really leaving?" Ji Che hesitated. After a thousand years of development, the Great Zhou had entered a stable phase.
They stopped losing money, profits exceeded expenses, and Liu Tianning was about to break through to the Source Origin Realm. Everything was developing in a positive direction.
Zhao Xing understood Ji Che's thoughts perfectly; things had just settled down, and now he was about to run away again.
The shadow of Star Sleet Pass was still vivid in his mind. Back then, Ji Che and the others were quite frightened when they stayed at "Hope Star". "We have to leave," Zhao Xing said.
"Alright," Ji Che said, "I'll go arrange it right away."
The Great Zhou rented the Azure Lotus World Star, and they were not citizens of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.
Currently, only Xia Jing, Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning, Yun Tian Dao are citizens of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom; Ji Che has not yet obtained this citizenship.
After making the arrangements, Zhao Xing waited quietly on the Hutou Star Continent.
He exchanged all his Origin Sea Coin for Red Star Coin.
Even so, during the waiting period, he continued to receive a steady stream of Origin Sea Coin.
Because the information he reported to Cang Yu more than 30 years ago was gradually confirmed.
"Zhao Xing, you are now a third-rank marquis." The Cang Yu Envoy appeared in Zhao Xing's rented area. "You can own a permanent mansion for free on the Hutou Star Continent, and you will no longer need to rent a house."
"You can also mobilize an army of a thousand to ten thousand men to temporarily serve as your guards. The lowest level of these soldiers is the second realm, and they have been trained in combined attack Magic Array."
"At the same time, you can enjoy a 20% discount when purchasing at the Origin Sea Hall, and there is also a certain tax reduction."
"I've become a marquis?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.
He never expected that the information he reported would actually elevate him to the rank of marquis!
Zhao Xing glanced at his account and saw that it had exceeded one Origin Sea Coin! Even converted to Red Star Coin, that's 2.8 billion! This is the net worth of someone at the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm!
"What is my title?" Zhao Xing asked. Marquises in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom were already granted titles, and although he didn't care, the title was still beneficial since he hadn't left yet.
"The Five Mausoleums Marquis," Cang Yu said with a smile, "Because of the list you provided, we unearthed five royal tombs belonging to the Third Realm Major Divine Ability cultivators. This is our greatest achievement."
Zhao Xing nodded. The mausoleum was reserved for royalty. Grand Mystic Power Realm usually had the wealth of the Dao Domain Realm cultivator, let alone royalty.
Even if he only gets 10%, that's still a terrifying profit.
Legends of overnight riches abound in the Illusory God Star System, and Zhao Xing has now become one of them.
"Congratulations, Five Mausoleums Marquis," Cang Yu congratulated him, even though Zhao Xing did not have the strength of the Dao Domain Realm. But to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, Zhao Xing's current achievements were equivalent to the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm.
"You can now accept some relatively easy tasks," Cang Yu said. "You can even recruit rogue cultivators from those great dynasties to build your own power, and you will receive a cut of the wealth your subordinates acquire."
"I don't have that plan for the time being." Zhao Xing shook his head. Recruiting rogue cultivators and building a force? It's not that simple. There are too many twists and turns involved, and even training manpower is difficult.
If things are done carelessly, such as having rogue cultivators from the lower realms join in, the mortality rate is high, but there are no benefits. This can easily damage the reputation and even violate the laws of the ancient kingdom.
If it's for long-term development, Zhao Xing certainly has ways to do it. For example, he could tell Le Yao, Cen Qionghua, Yu Tianqing to go and make money, which would be better than taking the risk himself.
Accumulating wealth over time can be a considerable income, but he has no intention of developing his career in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom at the moment.
The only consolation is the increase in wealth.
2.8 billion Red Star Coin is enough to hire someone to kill a Dao Domain Realm expert, provided that he can contact the Shadow Sanctum.
The cost of immigration is not that much, and Zhao Xing has no troubles. Now, to go to the Red Star Empire, he only needs to solve two things.
First, to break away from the Purple God Mansion.
As for the members of the Purple God Mansion, that should be easy to handle. Zhao Xing and the Purple Moon Mansion Lord don't have a deep relationship, and he didn't inherit Qing Yuzi's wealth. Spend some money, and they can part ways amicably. It's not like they'll have to cripple his Purple Light Eight Disciplines Divine Power.
Secondly, it broke away from the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.
The Five Mausoleums Marquis has both power and constraints, which makes things a little more complicated.
But now that Zhao Xing has money, that's no longer a problem.
"Jing Yan, when are you going back to China?" Zhao Xing asked. "I'll go with you."
"Me? Let's wait and see how things go here," Jing Yan said. "A place like Yueluo Cemetery is a rare find."
"I want to settle in the Red Star Empire with my homeland's dynasty," Zhao Xing said. "What are the options?"
"Find Starfire, become one of their peripheral members, and make a contribution," Jing Yan said. "It's not that difficult, but it's not that easy either. Money alone isn't enough; permanent residency in the Red Star Empire is much harder to obtain than in a place like the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."
"If I could excavate a Source Origin Divine Weapon- level Realm Boat from the Yueluo Cemetery, I could send it back to the Empire for research."
"Do you think it's okay?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Hahahaha." Jing Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter. "No need for such exaggeration, Solar Dao Soldier level would suffice. But are you dreaming?"
Zhao Xing smiled slightly, not minding Jing Yan's mockery.
The fact that the craftsmanship of the Realm Boat is so well preserved, and that it requires Solar Dao Soldier of that level, truly sounds like a fantasy.
"Your dream can be even bigger."
"Like King Tianji, dig out an Emperor Grade plant."
"Or perhaps we can find a cultivation method that aligns with the Dao."
As he spoke, Jing Yan himself laughed, clutching his stomach and bursting into laughter.
Zhao Xing was about to curse him for being a snob.
However, at this time, he received a message from Liu Tianning.
"Zhao Xing, I have arrived at the Hutou Star Continent," Liu Tianning said.
"So fast?" Zhao Xing was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, the Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord have also arrived."
