Yao Xixue Arrives in Huofen Kingdom; The Shameless Little Thief Isn't Here?

Zhu Quezi walked out of the great hall and immediately sent a Divine Sense message to the Infant Transformation Cultivator in charge, ordering, "Find the location of the Huofen Kingdom for me!"

"Old Ancestor? As you command!"

The Infant Transformation Elder was stunned for a moment before responding.

He hurriedly located the archives containing the records of every Cultivation Nation, his divine sense surging wildly as he began to search for the Huofen Kingdom.

"Found it!"

The Infant Transformation Elder's eyes lit up. He quickly grabbed the dossier for the Huofen Kingdom and sought out Zhu Quezi.

At that moment, an old woman, a servant from the Blood Star, arrived outside the hall.

She looked at Zhu Quezi and asked, "What? Have you not found it yet?"

Zhu Quezi saw the Infant Transformation Elder and asked, "Have you found it?"

"Reporting to the Old Ancestor, it has been found!"

The Infant Transformation Elder presented the dossier and spoke respectfully, "The Huofen Kingdom is a Third-rank Cultivation Nation on the Xuanwu Continent, subordinate to the Fourth-rank Cultivation Nation, the Tiangang Kingdom. Here are the files and the map."

Zhu Quezi grabbed the dossier and instructed, "Very well, you may leave!"

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"

The Infant Transformation Elder bowed, and his figure vanished.

"Esteemed guest!"

After the man had left, Zhu Quezi took out a Storage Bag, handed it to the servant old woman, and asked with a smile, "Might I ask the identity of the noble inside?"

The old woman swept her divine sense over the Storage Bag and discovered a significant amount of Immortal Jade inside, so she chuckled and said, "Since you are so sensible, this old woman will tell you!"

"My Young Master is the daughter of the Blood Star's ancestor. The Blood Ancestor is a mighty expert of the Mid-stage Pure Nirvana realm, a true master of the Second Step of cultivation!"

"Even back before the Immortal World collapsed, with my master's Great Divine Ability, he would have been ranked among the Immortal Kings!"

As she spoke, a sense of supreme glory appeared on the servant old woman's face.

"Hiss!"

Hearing the old woman's words, Zhu Quezi could not help but gasp.

As the master of the Vermilion Bird Star and a dignified expert at the Late-stage Asking Peak, he naturally understood the realms of the Second Step of cultivation.

The Asking Peak was the final realm of the First Step of cultivation. There were two realms that served as the transition from the Asking Peak to the Second Step.

These were the Yin Void and Yang Solid realms.

Back in the day, the Second Generation Vermilion Bird Situ Nan, who was hailed as the greatest genius in the history of the Vermilion Bird Country, had only managed to touch upon the Yin Void realm.

Only by breaking through to the Yang Solid realm could one be considered a true master of the Second Step with Great Divine Ability.

The Second Step consisted of three major realms: Peeking Nirvana, Pure Nirvana, and Shattering Nirvana.

The Blood Ancestor was at the Pure Nirvana stage, his cultivation level a full four major realms higher than his own.

It was as if a small Nascent Soul Realm cultivator were standing before him, the great Zhu Quezi.

No, the gap between the Asking Peak and Pure Nirvana was far greater than the gap between the Nascent Soul and the Asking Peak—so vast that he was utterly powerless to resist.

No wonder even a cultivator at the peak of the Asking Peak is nothing more than a servant to them! Zhu Quezi thought to himself. If I can establish a connection with the Blood Ancestor's daughter, perhaps I can break through to the Yin Void realm and enjoy over ten thousand years of lifespan!

Zhu Quezi now had only a few hundred years of lifespan left, and what he craved most was to increase his longevity and achieve a breakthrough.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and deliver the map to the Young Master!" the old woman urged from the side.

"Yes!"

Zhu Quezi nodded and issued another order to the Infant Transformation Elder who had just left.

"Immediately, right now, go and activate the Teleportation Array to the Huofen Kingdom. Do not fail!"

The Infant Transformation Elder had just returned and sat down cross-legged when he received Zhu Quezi's order again.

"What exactly is the identity of these people?" The Infant Transformation Elder was deeply puzzled, muttering, "It seems even the Old Ancestor has to treat them with such reverence!"

One had to know that Zhu Quezi was the master of the Vermilion Bird Star, a minor feudal lord within the Cultivation Alliance.

If even Zhu Quezi had to be so respectful, could these people be envoys from the Cultivation Alliance?

Doubtful as he was, the elder did not forget his task.

He instantly teleported to the location of the great Teleportation Array and commanded, "Find the Huofen Kingdom on the Xuanwu Continent immediately and calibrate the array to that location. If there is even the slightest deviation, I will have your heads!"

Inside the great hall.

Zhu Quezi walked forward holding the dossier and spoke respectfully, "Reporting to the esteemed guest, the location of the Huofen Kingdom has been found."

"Found it?"

Yao Xixue's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she urged, "Take This Young Lady there at once!"

Her words were filled with intense excitement.

She was naturally thrilled at the prospect of being able to punish that Shameless Little Thief immediately.

"Yes!"

Zhu Quezi gestured for her to proceed, saying, "Noble, please follow this Old Man!"

Since they were all experts at the Infant Transformation stage or higher, they all understood the art of displacement.

With a single displacement, they appeared beside the massive Teleportation Array.

The Vermilion Bird Country's array could transport people to any location on the Vermilion Bird Star.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

"We pay our respects to Zhu Quezi!"

Seeing Zhu Quezi appear, the Infant Transformation Elder and the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Country knelt and bowed in succession.

"Mm!"

Zhu Quezi acknowledged them with a hum, then said to Yao Xixue with a smile, "Noble, Senior, please enter the Teleportation Array!"

Yao Xixue stepped into the array.

She had long since consumed a Blood Soul Pill capable of resurrection, so she did not fear that the other party would dare to harm her.

As long as she perished, she would immediately be resurrected on the Blood Star.

At that time, if the Blood Ancestor were to fly into a rage, it was likely that the entire Vermilion Bird Star would be washed in blood.

Zhu Quezi still wished to advance his cultivation, so he certainly dared not harm her.

He personally accompanied her and activated the Teleportation Array.

Xuanwu Continent.

Huofen Kingdom.

"Hum!"

Suddenly, a brilliant pillar of light descended from the sky.

At this moment, all the cultivators in the Huofen Kingdom looked up toward the location of the light pillar.

As the radiance dissipated, six figures appeared in mid-air.

The moment Zhu Quezi appeared, he noticed a Nascent Soul Cultivator not far away.

If an acquaintance were here, they would certainly recognize this Nascent Soul Cultivator as Zhao Chuanliang, the Sect Master of the Huofen Kingdom's Corpse Yin Sect.

"Boom!"

He reached out a large hand, grabbing the man from a distance, and demanded, "Is this the Third-rank Cultivation Nation, Huofen Kingdom?"

"Reporting to Senior, this is indeed the Huofen Kingdom!"

Zhao Chuanliang replied in terror.

He sensed vast fluctuations emanating from these people that felt like Heavenly Might.

The terror of this pressure made him recall the feeling of facing a Nascent Soul Ancestor back when he was still a mortal.

"Begone!"

Zhu Quezi waved his hand casually, and Zhao Chuanliang was immediately tossed away.

"Phew!"

Only after flying a great distance did Zhao Chuanliang heave a sigh of relief.

With a puzzled expression, he muttered, "Who are these people? Could they be the legendary Infant Transformation Old Monsters?"

"Noble!"

Zhu Quezi said respectfully, "This is the Huofen Kingdom!"

"Many thanks for this trip!"

Yao Xixue tossed a Storage Bag to him.

"Hiss!"

Zhu Quezi swept his divine sense through it, his expression immediately shifting with emotion.

Even as the master of the Vermilion Bird Star, he could not help but be moved by such a vast quantity of Immortal Jade.

However, when he felt the gazes of the other four Blood Star servants, he knew he would likely have to bleed wealth again.

"Many thanks, Noble!"

Zhu Quezi bowed in gratitude.

Yao Xixue paid no further attention to Zhu Quezi.

She sat upright on the throne and closed her eyes.

At the same time, a tyrannical divine sense surged from between her brows, suddenly sweeping across the entire Huofen Kingdom.

With Yao Xixue's Mid Infant Transformation cultivation, scanning a small nation like the Huofen Kingdom was a matter of an instant.

"Hmm? Nothing? How could there be nothing?"

Yao Xixue furrowed her brows.

She discovered that, despite her divine sense sweeping through, she had not sensed the presence of that Shameless Little Thief, Qin Hao.
