The Deal
Several days later, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the Weiyang Star Region.
The Nanyang Sect, a top-tier power that had existed for countless millennia, was destroyed.
The person who destroyed this force was none other than Chen Beijing, who had been wanted by the Star Palace seven years ago.
This news shocked all the forces within the star system.
The Nanyang Sect is a top-tier force with three Void Refinement experts. Although it is weaker than some super forces such as the Jiang Clan and the Huanxia Immortal Sect, it is still a Void Refinement sect.
The Weiyang Star Region had not seen any forces with Void Refinement cultivators wiped out for thousands of years.
Moreover, the one who destroyed the Nanyang Sect was actually Chen Beijing, who had been wanted by the Star Palace several years ago.
Initially, many factions did not believe this news.
However, this fact was only confirmed after various forces sent people to Nanyang Star to investigate.
Not only was the Nanyang Sect destroyed, but even the great star Nanyang was on the verge of shattering, which is enough to show that an earth-shattering battle took place here.
According to the questioning of the cultivators from Nanyang Star, the group learned an even more shocking piece of news.
Only Chen Beijin destroyed the Nanyang Sect, and his cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation.
With the Spirit Transformation, he reversed the tide and killed three Void Refinement cultivators!
This record is simply unbelievable.
The difference between the Spirit Transformation and the Void Refinement stage is completely incomparable.
Throughout the countless years of existence in the Weiyang Starfield, there have been geniuses who, despite their Spirit Transformation cultivation, have fought against those at the Void Refinement stage.
But all that glory was in being able to withstand as many attacks as a Void Refinement cultivator.
This feat of directly killing three Void Refinement cultivators is truly astonishing.
Many powerful cultivators at the Void Refinement stage in the Weiyang Starfield were quite uneasy after receiving this news.
For the first time, they felt apprehensive towards a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
Many people speculate that Chen Beijing is hiding a shocking secret.
While various factions were speculating, five factions, led by the Jiang clan, suddenly announced the formation of the Demon-Slaying Alliance.
The Demon-Slaying Alliance was established to deal with Chen Beijing, an extraterrestrial demon.
The Demon-Slaying Alliance consists of five factions, with a total of eight Void Refinement cultivators.
Among them were many top experts at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
The Demon Extermination Alliance issued a bounty on Chen Feng across the entire star field, and also listed Chen Feng's various crimes.
The Demon-Slaying Alliance wields immense influence.
In less than seven days, news of Chen Feng's misdeeds spread throughout various star regions, the first of which was that Chen Feng was Outer Realm Devil.
It was also emphasized that Chen Feng's goal was to massacre the major forces in the Weiyang Star Region.
As the news spread, Chen Feng was portrayed as a ruthless and evil villain.
Inside a grand hall on the planet Litu in the Weiyang Starfield.
Tuoba Yang frowned as he looked at the intelligence report that had been delivered to him.
After a moment, Tuoba Yang looked at the Palace Master Xiao and said, "I remember that Chen Beijing seems to have had a conflict with our clan several years ago."
Lord Xiao nodded solemnly.
"Hmm, this child was born from a minor star."
Lord Xiao recounted the whole story.
Everyone else in the hall listened quietly, with Kong Ling and Hong Lu among those whose expressions were the most complicated.
They were among the first people to come into contact with Chen Feng.
Although Chen Feng caused them a lot of trouble at the time, it only involved the Spirit Transformation stage.
They simply thought Chen Feng was incredibly talented.
But now, seven years later, Chen Feng has defeated three Void Refinement cultivators, making him famous throughout the entire Weiyang Star Region.
This news shocked Kong Ling and the others.
They were all very aware of the power of the Void Refinement Realm cultivator.
They would only face certain death if they faced a Void Refinement cultivator, Power of Principle of a Void Refinement cultivator was simply beyond the capacity of Spirit Transformation to withstand.
At the same time, they simply couldn't understand how Chen Feng, with his Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivation, could kill three Void Refinement cultivators.
Seven years ago, Chen Feng could only passively endure the beatings when facing the Ice Soul Venerable.
How could the opponent have raised their strength to such a terrifying level in such a short time?
After listening to the description from the Palace Master Xiao, Tuoba Yang said with a solemn expression:
"It seems this is the person who made the move in the Star Domain Array earlier. His growth rate is truly unprecedented!"
Tuoba Yang immediately connected the attack on Lan Yin and the others with Chen Feng.
After all, not long after Lan Yin and the others met their demise, the Nanyang Sect was destroyed.
"Then what do we do?" Lord Xiao asked.
Tuoba Yang pondered for a moment and then said:
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. My Void race is not without opportunities to resolve our grievances with this person."
Lord Xiao's face darkened. "That Chen Beijing killed several of my clan's Spirit Generals."
Tuoba Yang said without changing his expression, "This person's Divine Ability are probably not much weaker than mine. He is currently being hunted down by various forces in the Weiyang Star Region. If we use him well, he can become a sword in our hands."
Hearing Tuoba Yang say this, the Palace Master Xiao couldn't say anything more, but he quickly added:
"What about the Cangfan Sect?"
They only had a few Spirit Transformation cultivators captured, but the Cangfan Sect had a Void Refinement cultivator captured.
Given the Cangfan Sect's style, it's simply impossible for them to reconcile with Chen Beijing.
"They are them, and we are us. Kongling, you were the first to contact Chen Beijin, so you'll be the one to contact him."
Tuoba Yang then looked at Kong Ling, who was standing to the side.
Kong Ling immediately stepped forward from the crowd, nodding with a complex expression. "I will obey the Palace Master's command."
Tuoba Yang then said:
"Now all the major powers in the Weiyang Star Region are focused on Chen Beijing, which presents us with a perfect opportunity to annex more cultivation stars. Order our clan's army to launch a full-scale attack. Within six months, our clan must acquire at least one-third of the Weiyang Star Region's territory."
The rest of the people in the hall nodded.
If they can take over enough territory in the Weiyang Star Region, they can build a new Star Region Array.
In this way, the Void Spirit Clan can be considered to have established themselves in the Weiyang Star Region.
The Unknown Starfield, Red Rock Star.
Red Rock Star is a small star located near the central region of the Weiyang Starfield.
In a mountain range on Red Rock Planet, there is a strangely shaped warship.
The warship has been in this mountain range for almost half a month, but none of the creatures on this planet have noticed its arrival.
In the warship's command center, Chen Feng stared coldly at the message displayed on the communication mirror.
"The Demon-Slaying Alliance... the Jiang Clan truly has no intention of destroying us."
The message inside the communication mirror was from Ye Yuting.
After Chen Feng returned to the Weiyang Star Region, he reconnected with the woman.
The other party has been sending him a lot of messages during this period.
Ye Yuting naturally informed him about the Jiang clan's formation of the Demon-Slaying Alliance.
Through the communication mirror, Ye Yuting sent another message:
[Fellow Daoist Chen, you must be extremely careful. Two mid-stage Void Refinement cultivators from the Jiang Clan have already been mobilized, and with other forces added, there are now eight Void Refinement cultivators in total. Moreover, they are also contacting allies.]
[Thank you for letting me know. I will be careful. I will go to Xuanxiao Star once this matter is resolved.]
After sending the message, Chen Feng put away the communication mirror.
Chen Feng didn't care at all about the Demon-Slaying Alliance portraying him as a great demon.
Smear campaigns and spreading rumors are all too common on Earth.
As a modern person, why would he care about that?
Besides, reputation is something that can be defined by one's own strength, whether one is a demon or a celestial being.
"Jiang Clan, Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect, Myriad Manifestations Sect, Origin Heaven Sword Pavilion, Giant Spirit Clan"
Chen Feng recited the names of these five forces.
The Demon-Slaying Alliance was spearheaded by these five forces, all of which hailed from the Great Star, with the Jiang Clan and the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect being the strongest.
Chen Feng naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his death. After half a month, his injuries had healed.
Twenty thousand shi of gold was far from enough for him; he needed to plunder more forces.
"With the antimatter warship here, escaping shouldn't be a problem. These forces have no idea I have this trump card: the antimatter warship."
After reviewing the information on these forces, Chen Feng ultimately focused his attention on the Giant Spirit Clan.
The Giant Spirit Clan is not human. Although humans are powerful in the Weiyang Starfield, there are also Demon Race and other races.
And the Giant Spirit Clan was one of them.
This clan has two experts at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm. Compared to forces like the Jiang clan and the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect, which possess experts at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, the Giant Spirit Clan poses little threat to him.
"We still need to gather some information first." Chen Feng took out his communication mirror, intending to ask Ye Yuting to help him find out about the Giant Spirit Clan.
But just then, another communication mirror next to it suddenly started flashing.
This is Lan Yin's communication mirror.
After glancing at the contents of the communication mirror, Chen Feng showed a look of surprise.
"These Voidlings actually intend to make peace with me."
The message came from Kongling, meaning he wanted to resolve their past grievances and then cooperate.
Chen Feng immediately edited a message and sent it.
The terms were simple: ransom was paid in spirit stones, at least 30,000.
However, Kong Ling replied shortly after he sent the message.
[Fellow Daoist Chen, we can give you 30,000 gold stones. Tell us where the transaction will take place.]
"This Void Spirit Clan seems to be even richer than I thought," Chen Feng said, a look of surprise on his face.
He destroyed the Nanyang Sect, but the total amount of Yuan Stones he collected was only 20,000.
However, the Void Spirit Clan was willing to offer 30,000 at once.
Chen Feng chose the number 30,000 because he considered the previous offer of 100,000 to be somewhat outrageous, since a Nanyang Sect only had 20,000 stones.
Now it seems that I underestimated the strength of the Void Spirit Clan.
Chen Feng then sent several more messages to Kong Ling, informing her of the location of the transaction.
After sending the message, Chen Feng put away the communication mirror.
"We'll have to put the Giant Spirit Clan on hold for now." Chen Feng still planned to make this deal with the Void Spirit Clan first.
Obtaining the elemental stones is the most important thing.
As for whether the Void Spirit Clan would ambush him, Chen Feng was not worried at all.
If the opponent sends two or more mid-stage Void Refinement cultivators, he can simply use an antimatter warship to escape.
After finalizing the subsequent plans, Chen Feng began cultivating the Red Sun's Tongbao Technique.
He must master this magical treasure as soon as possible.
Having more cards to play means having more security.
Two weeks later.
At the edge of the Weiyang Starfield.
A French ship is sailing through this starry sky.
This magic ship was indeed the magic ship of the Void Spirit Clan, and standing on it were Kong Ling, Hong Lu, and others.
In addition, Lord Xiao also came along.
"Didn't Chen Beijing specify where the transaction would take place?" Lord Xiao asked Kongling.
Ethereal head shake:
"He didn't say, he just told us to pilot the magic ship through this starry sky, and that he would come looking for us when the time came."
Lord Xiao spoke in a deep voice:
"This person is quite cautious."
He naturally knew what the other party was thinking; they were simply afraid that they would set a trap in advance.
Looking at the storage ring in his hand, Lord Xiao felt a pang of heartache.
The storage ring contained 30,000 Yuan Stones.
Lord Xiao was very dissatisfied with Tuoba Yang's decision.
Thirty thousand shi (a unit of dry measure) is no small sum.
However, in order to resolve his grievances with Chen Beijing, Tuoba Yang was willing to pay the money.
Although Lord Xiao was also wary of Chen Feng, it was far from the point where he needed to use so many spirit stones to befriend him.
But there was nothing he could do; Tuoba Yang's status in the Void Spirit Clan was higher than his.
In all their actions within the Weiyang Starfield, they had to obey Tuoba Yang's orders.
Just then, the Lord of Xiao Palace seemed to sense something and looked towards the distant starry sky.
Suddenly, a strangely shaped French ship appeared in the distance.
Lord Xiao's gaze immediately sharpened.
Because he hadn't even sensed when the Dharma ship had approached them.
You must know that he is a Void Refinement cultivator, Divine Sense range extends as far as 100,000 miles.
He can detect anything that enters the range of his Divine Sense.
On that Dharma boat, a man in white and a young boy stood quietly.
Upon seeing this man, Kong Ling, Hong Lu, and the others all had their pupils shrink.
Seven years later, they met the person who had left such a deep impression on them once again.
The group immediately left the French ship and came to the vicinity of Chen Feng's warship.
Lord Xiao bowed to Chen Feng and said:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I am Xiao, the Third Hall Master of the Void Spirit Clan."
Lord Xiao has no given name; his only name is Xiao.
Although the naming conventions of the Voidling race tend to resemble those of the Human race, many Voidlings still choose their names quite casually.
Although Lord Xiao greeted him, he was also sizing up Chen Feng.
Judging from his aura, the opponent was indeed only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation realm.
However, he sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the other party, which made Lord Xiao wary.
At this moment, Kong Ling, Hong Lu, and the others beside him also clasped their hands in greeting to Chen Feng:
"Greetings, Senior Chen."
The way he addressed them as "Senior Chen" made everyone feel very uncomfortable.
Chen Feng was only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation, his cultivation level wasn't even as high as theirs, but in the cultivation world, strength was paramount.
Since their own sect leader addressed the other as "fellow Daoist," they couldn't very well follow suit.
Lan Yin then bowed to the Lord of Xiao Palace, saying, "Lan Yin greets the Lord of Xiao Palace."
Lan Yin was very excited. He had been thinking about how to resolve the feud between his clan and Chen Feng.
But before he could take any action, his clansmen took the initiative to reconcile with Chen Feng.
He was very happy to hear the news.
He was very aware of Chen Feng's strength.
If the Void Spirit Clan still dares to underestimate Chen Feng as before, it will definitely bring a terrifying enemy upon them.
Chen Feng seemed to have no intention of greeting the others. He calmly looked at the Palace Master Xiao and said:
Did you bring any spirit stones?
Chen Feng had given this decision after careful consideration.
If the Voidlings' magic ships are moving, it will be impossible for them to set up formations to block the antimatter warships.
Lord Xiao smiled and said, "Of course we're ready."
After saying that, Lord Xiao threw out a storage ring.
Chen Feng took the storage ring and scanned it with his Divine Sense; inside were 30,000 spirit stones.
Upon seeing so many spirit stones, Chen Feng was overjoyed, but on the surface, his expression remained unchanged.
"Since the nobleman is so trustworthy, I will naturally keep my promise as well."
After saying that, Chen Feng released the Primordial Spirit of the three Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators from the Void Spirit Clan.
Three Primordial Spirit were nothing to Chen Feng; they were dispensable.
Even after destroying Nanyang Star, there were still more than a dozen Primordial Spirit inside his soul-wood box.
For Chen Feng, exchanging three Primordial Spirit for 30,000 yuan stones was a very worthwhile deal.
Lord Xiao immediately put away the three Primordial Spirit.
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
A chilling voice echoed from the distant starry sky:
"What a fine race of Voidlings!"
As the sound faded, a colossal object appeared in the starry sky not far from Chen Feng and the others.
This object is flat and about half the size of a planet.
It was a landmass floating in the starry sky!
This land is dotted with pavilions and towers.
Brilliant streams of light swirled around these pavilions and towers, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
The moment he saw this thing, the Palace Master's pupils contracted slightly:
"City of the Mortals!"
