Chi Xue and the others had never thought that the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers who had ventured deep into the starfields from the Demon God Forbidden Ground were trying to capture starfield cultivators and control them to attack their group. After all, starfield cultivators were far, far weaker than they were. No matter how numerous they were, they posed no threat at all. The earlier attacks by countless Nine Nether Nether Soldiers had already proved as much: each individual soldier was far stronger than a starfield cultivator. And there were so many Nine Nether Nether Soldiers that they seemed endless. Yet even so, they could not intimidate Chi Xue and the others, let alone the starfield cultivators.
