Endless Starry Sky, Missing Zhou Kuang

The Zhou Family, a Superpower.

"Patriarch Ren, haven't you made up your mind yet? This is a golden opportunity to overthrow the Zhou Family's hegemonic status. Surely you don't want your precious daughter to marry a good-for-nothing like Zhou Qiongtian."

"Without others' eyes and bones, he wouldn't have such cultivation. Without them, Zhou Qiongtian is nothing but a waste."

Mo Xuantian and others arrived at the Ren Family, intending to bring them into the Anti-Zhou Alliance. The Ren Family had been allied with the Zhou Family for many years, making them an unpredictable factor.

Mo Xuantian's plan was for the Ren Family to at least remain neutral, not supporting the Zhou Family. After all, the Ren Family was also a Superpower, possessing a Supreme Being!

The Ren Family Patriarch frowned. To be honest, he didn't want to get involved. Whether it was overthrowing the Zhou Family's hegemonic status or anything else, he didn't want to participate. He felt that the Ren Family was already doing fine as it was.

Seeing that the Ren Family Patriarch still hadn't declared his stance, Mo Xuantian took a step forward, getting closer to him, and said, "Patriarch Ren, frankly, your Ren Family is too deeply entangled with the Zhou Family. This is now a matter of choosing a side. Either you join our Anti-Zhou Alliance, or you continue to stand with the Zhou Family."

"I understand your desire to remain neutral and uninvolved, but we cannot ignore a bomb that could detonate at any moment right beside us. The more intricate the machine, the easier it is to collapse due to a single screw. Patriarch Ren, you are an intelligent person, you understand what I mean, don't you?"

The Ren Family Patriarch's expression turned grim. After a moment of thought, he looked at Mo Xuantian and said, "This matter is of great importance. I will give you my answer in three days."

Mo Xuantian smiled. "That's more like it. I believe you will make the right choice. I await your reply, Patriarch Ren."

The endless starry sky.

A man was drifting in the starry sky. He had a square face, his eyes were tightly shut, and his black hair was as dark as ink. An imposing aura of dominance emanated from him, even without him seeming to be angry.

This person was Zhou Kuang!

A faint layer of lightning flickered on Zhou Kuang's body. His physical body was extremely tough. Sometimes, huge meteorites would collide with him, but his body would remain completely unharmed. Instead, the meteorites would shatter.

The dust formed from the shattered meteorites, for some unknown reason, adhered to Zhou Kuang's body. Gradually, Zhou Kuang became covered in a grayish hue, making him look like a lifelike statue.

Zhou Kuang did not open his eyes, and his aura was contained, making him seem like an ordinary mortal. If anyone saw him, they would likely mistake him for a hard statue made of some special material.

Just then, in the starry sky, a Star Disk was rapidly flying towards Zhou Kuang. The Star Disk was not large, less than ten square meters. It emitted a faint starlight, capable of protecting the people within from the gravitational pull of space.

Two men stood on this Star Disk. Their cultivation was not ordinary; they were both Supreme Beings. At this moment, both men had anxious and panicked expressions.

There was also a woman sitting cross-legged. She was also a Supreme Being, but her face was deathly pale, and her aura was chaotic, clearly indicating she was heavily injured.

Behind this Star Disk, two more Star Disks were in pursuit. Each of these pursuing Star Disks carried three cultivators, all of whom were Supreme Beings!

This was incredibly rare on the Azure World. Beings who could be called Patriarchs or Old Ancestors were gathered here, nine of them!

The starry sky was extremely dangerous. Only Great Emperors and above could traverse it without relying on Star Disks. Cultivators below the Great Emperor realm had to travel in Star Disks or Star Boats if they wished to enter space.

Furthermore, space was incredibly perilous. Besides natural disasters, there were also Star Beasts, some of which were so powerful they could devour planets and continents.

In addition to these, there were Star Bandits. And currently, the three from the Zhou Family were being pursued by Star Bandits.

"Hahaha, little lady, don't run. You can't escape. Just surrender to us, and we'll make sure you experience pleasures beyond your wildest dreams. Want some more?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, little lady. We guys have excellent skills. We'll make sure you're reluctant to leave."

"Hand over your resources quickly, or death will be your only fate!"

"Damn it! Why are we so unlucky to run into a band of Star Bandits?" Zhou Ling's face was grim.

They had been invited by a Great Emperor on Qingling Star to attend his birthday banquet. They never expected to encounter Star Bandits. Normally, Star Bandits only robbed for resources.

They had prepared gifts for the Great Emperor's birthday banquet, and they were quite valuable. The Zhou Family had a Great Emperor, but his lifespan was nearing its end. He had a close relationship with the Great Emperor of Qingling Star and thus dispatched three Zhou Family Supreme Beings to deliver the gifts.

The purpose of Zhou Ling and the other two attending the birthday banquet was partly for the Great Emperor, and partly to forge connections with other factions. The Zhou Family Great Emperor knew he didn't have much time left. While he was still alive, he hoped the Zhou Family could secure a powerful backer.

Zhou Ling and the other two naturally would not hand over the resources to the Star Bandits. The three of them were also quite powerful: two at the mid-stage Supreme Being realm and one at the Supreme Great Perfection realm. However, after a fierce battle, they discovered that this group of Star Bandits was incredibly strong.

Six Supreme Beings in total, with three at the mid-stage Supreme Being realm, two at the late-stage Supreme Being realm, and one at the Supreme Great Perfection realm!

Although Zhou Ling was at the Supreme Great Perfection realm, even the strongest warrior can't fight off multiple opponents. After the battle, she was severely injured. The other two, protected by Zhou Ling, sustained lighter injuries. They had no choice but to activate their Star Disk and flee, hoping to reach Qingling Star quickly.

However, the Star Disk was soon attacked and damaged by the Star Bandits, its speed gradually decreasing. They would likely be caught up soon.

"Elder Zhou Ling, what should we do?" The other two Zhou Family Supreme Beings looked at Zhou Ling, clearly seeing her as the leader of their group.

Zhou Ling's face was grim. "Keep running. Pour all your Law Power into the Star Disk. We have no chance of winning in a direct confrontation!"

The next moment, Zhou Ling's expression changed drastically. A critical point on the Star Disk was destroyed, causing its speed to plummet.

"Not good!" Zhou Ling exclaimed and quickly tried to repair it, but it was already too late.

Soon, the two Star Disks behind them caught up to Zhou Ling and the others. "Hahaha, Second Brother has excellent aim! You destroyed the Star Disk's propulsion system directly. Now they can't run anymore."

"Hey? What's that? It looks like a person?"

Everyone looked and saw that the Zhou Family's Star Disk had stopped. Next to it, a gray object resembling a person was floating.

"Heh, I thought it was something important. Turns out it's just a statue. This statue is so lifelike!"

"Stop the nonsense and completely destroy their Star Disk, just in case!" The leader of the Star Bandits, the cultivator at the Supreme Great Perfection realm, spoke immediately.

The other five fell silent and unleashed their attacks. Instantly, six attacks formed from Law Power surged towards the Zhou Family's Star Disk.

Zhou Ling and the other two's faces turned extremely grim. They activated their defensive measures and braced for impact. They had already sent a communication to their Great Emperor Old Ancestor, but the Zhou Family was very far from their current location, and even a Great Emperor would not be able to arrive in a short time.

"My life is forfeit!"
