A Sudden Turn of Events!

He acknowledged it even upon meeting Venerable Jixuan.

Apart from a few members of the Jiang Clan, the other Void Refinement experts all showed hesitation on their faces.

The Venerable Seven Colors transmitted his voice to Jiang Henian, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, perhaps we should just forget about it. Although Chen of the Northern Territory poses a threat to us, we cannot afford to fight the Azure Mortal Sect right now."

Those who reached agreements with the Azure Mortal Sect and the Void Spirit Race were all powerful figures in their respective late stages.

According to the agreement, neither of them, both at the Void Refinement, can attack each other.

Testing the Star Palace is what all the major powers in the Weiyang Star Domain are paying attention to.

Although Chen of the Northern Territory has become quite famous recently, it's nothing compared to what happened at the Star Palace.

This involves a battle between the most powerful beings in the star field.

Jiang Henian did not respond to the Venerable Seven Colors's telepathic message; he was caught in a dilemma.

Chen Feng is not only a potential threat they want to eliminate, but more importantly, he has mastered the legacy of High Person Jiuli.

It is highly likely that the High Person Jiuli once entered a secret realm in the Ancient Immortal Domain and obtained a celestial treasure from it.

This is exactly what the Jiang Clan wants.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Venerable Jixuan and clasped his hands in a fist salute:

"Fellow Daoist Jixuan, we can grant you face today and guarantee not to harm Chen of the Northern Territory, but we must take this person back for a while."

Jiang Henian ultimately chose to back down; now they only wanted to search Chen Feng's Soul Search to get what they wanted to know.

However, Venerable Jixuan sneered upon hearing this:

"You, a Xiaoxiao Early Void Refinement, dare to make demands of me? If Jiang Wudao from your clan were here, I might actually give you some face, but you're not qualified!"

Venerable Jixuan showed no politeness whatsoever.

The Azure Mortal Sect is a top-tier force that has traveled to various star regions; no single force in the Weiyang Star Domain could possibly be their match.

He really didn't take the Jiang Clan seriously.

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Henian and Jiang Wuheng beside him turned pale.

How could their Jiang Clan have ever been so humiliated!

"Jixuan, this is the Weiyang Star Domain!" Jiang Henian said through gritted teeth.

But before he could finish speaking, an incomparably powerful Divine Sense swept over him, and he felt this terrifying Late Void Refinement Divine Sense.

Jiang Henian's face immediately turned pale.

Seeing this, Jiang Wuheng, who was standing nearby, quickly summoned a white lotus flower.

The lotus flower slowly rotated, emitting a soft white light.

That Divine Sense was also blocked by the white light.

Upon seeing the lotus flower, Venerable Jixuan showed a look of surprise:

"Spirit Treasure of the Soul Path, and it's already close to the level of Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure. Your Jiang Clan actually possesses such a treasure."

Jiang Wuheng said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Jixuan, do you really want to antagonize my Jiang Clan?"

The Venerable Jixuan stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly:

"Elder Chen is now a member of my Azure Mortal Sect, and I have already stated this."

At this moment, the old man from the Original Heavenly Sword Pavilion, who Mid Void Refinement realm, suddenly spoke:

"Since the Azure Mortal Sect is showing us no respect, there's no need to continue the discussion. I'd like to experience the Divine Ability of a late-stage cultivator!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword on the old man's back began to hum.

An extremely powerful sword intent permeated this starry sky.

None of the cultivators present thought the old man was arrogant or conceited.

Sword cultivators are already among the best in their class, and their opponent is the Original Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

Ye Chenjian's name is well-known throughout the star field.

"Nonsense!" Venerable Jixuan opened his palm, Thread of Principle appeared around his body.

These Thread of Principle are densely packed, numbering over six thousand.

The emergence of Thread of Principle immediately caused a terrifying pressure to permeate the surrounding starry sky.

Many cultivators at the Void Refinement showed expressions of apprehension upon witnessing this scene.

The Divine Ability of cultivators at the Void Refinement are all related to Thread of Principle; the more Thread of Principle, the stronger their Divine Ability become.

With over Thread of Principle, Venerable Jixuan's strength has surpassed that of an ordinary Late Void Refinement.

The Venerable Seven Colors and the Giant Spirit Race's Void Refinement experts were already showing signs of retreating.

They were only at the initial stage of cultivation; facing a late-stage cultivator would risk their lives.

Among the members of the Demon-Slaying Alliance, only Ye Chenjian's expression remained unchanged; on the contrary, his face was full of fighting spirit.

Just then, Jiang Wuheng suddenly spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Ye, please sheathe your sword!"

Jiang Wuheng blocked Ye Chenjian's path, then bowed respectfully to Venerable Jixuan.

"Since Chen of the Northern Territory is an elder of your sect, we will give your sect some face today."

Hearing this, Ye Chenjian was somewhat displeased, but he didn't say anything more.

Although he was a stubborn sword cultivator, he understood that if he fought with the Azure Mortal Sect here, they would not gain any advantage.

Of the eight Void Refinement from the Azure Mortal Sect, only four are currently present. There must be other Void Refinement cultivators within City of Azure Mortal.

Not to mention the extraordinary treasure of City of Azure Mortal.

Jiang Wuheng's concession relieved the Venerable Seven Colors and the Void Refinement cultivators of the Giant Spirit Race.

Liu Zhenyang sneered:

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? Why waste time?"

Hearing Liu Zhenyang's mocking words, the members of the Demon-Slaying Alliance looked extremely grim, especially Jiang Henian.

At this moment, he was absolutely seething with hatred.

But there was nothing they could do; circumstances were beyond their control, and these individuals were not in a position to snatch people from the Azure Mortal Sect.

Right now, the only option is to go back to the clan and call for reinforcements.

"Let's go!" Jiang Wuheng waved his sleeve and prepared to leave with his men.

But at that moment, a phantom of a Hongri suddenly appeared above everyone's heads.

A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped everyone in the arena.

Upon seeing the illusory image of the Hongri in the distance, the heavily injured Xu Mufan's face turned deathly pale.

"Chen of the Northern Territory!"

Xu Mufan knew without a doubt that Chen of the Northern Territory had made the move, and it was the same Divine Ability as before.

The beam of light descended instantly, hurtling straight towards the members of the Demon-Slaying Alliance.

Among them, Jiang Wuheng and Ye Chenjian, both Mid Void Refinement cultivators, reacted the fastest, simultaneously unleashing their Divine Ability to defend themselves.

Boom!

An endless sea of fire once again filled the starry sky, but this time it did not destroy much space.

This space was sealed off by a strange force—the seal of City of Azure Mortal.

The Burn the Heavens and Boil the Sea Divine Ability engulfed all the Void Refinement cultivators of the Demon-Slaying Alliance.

But this was not the end. Chen Feng once again drew out hundreds of strands of Essence Blood from his body and poured them into the Hongri in his hand.

The phantom of the Hongri in the sky shone brightly once more.

The beam of light shone down, but this time, a sword light tore through the sea of fire and rushed out first!

The one who rushed out was none other than Ye Chenjian.

He was covered in a mess and was clearly injured.

Ye Chenjian's eyes were icy as he looked at Chen Feng in the distance.

Thread of Principle wrapped around the longsword in his hand, and then he slashed at Chen Feng with the sword.

A terrifying sword Sword Qi Poxing and slashed towards Chen Feng.

The Sword Qi energy was incredibly fast, reaching Chen Feng's head in an instant.

Chen Feng, who had originally intended to activate the third Hongri, had no choice but to stop.

He slapped his right palm towards the sword light!

Bang!

Chen Feng was instantly forced to retreat over a hundred miles, and the Star Power surrounding him dimmed considerably.

Chen Feng was startled when he saw the bloodstain on his palm.

"What a sharp Sword Qi!"

Chen Feng was quite confident in the strength of his physical body; even when Liu Zhenyang went all out, he had difficulty in causing him any harm.

However, the Sword Qi of Ye Chenjian could pierce through his physical body.

This is enough to show that this person's strength is probably even greater than Liu Zhenyang's.

In addition, sword cultivators are inherently skilled in attack, let alone a great sword cultivator in the Mid Void Refinement.

If that Sword Qi from the opponent had struck a small star, it would have been enough to cleave it in two.

When Ye Chenjian saw that Chen Feng had actually blocked his Sword Qi with his palm, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Although he knew that Chen Feng had killed three Void Refinement from the Nanyang Sect, he had not witnessed it firsthand and did not have a clear understanding of Chen Feng's strength.

Only after exchanging blows did he realize Chen Feng's true strength.

The opponent's physical body alone is extraordinary.

Further away, the Void Spirit Race members who witnessed this scene all showed expressions of shock.

No one expected that Chen Feng would dare to launch a sneak attack under these circumstances, and even go so far as to kill.

The group couldn't help but admire Chen Feng's boldness.

The Hall Master Xiao looked at Chen Feng with even greater wariness.

The Void Spirit Race had already investigated the Red Sun Spirit Treasure of the Nanyang Sect; activating this treasure required paying a huge price.

Moreover, it requires at least two cultivators at the Void Refinement stage to perform this.

Each activation will leave two Void Refinement cultivators in a weakened state.

However, Chen of the Northern Territory used it three times in a short period of time, and judging from the opponent's appearance, he could obviously use it again.

This is something that cannot help but make people wary.

Lan Yin said in a low voice:

"Palace Master, if we help Fellow Daoist Chen now, our clan's relationship with him can surely be reconciled."

Hall Master Xiao did not reply upon hearing this.

It's basically impossible to resolve the feud with Chen of the Northern Territory now.

The opponent possesses an earth-shattering secret, which their Void Spirit Race is determined to obtain.

Chen of the Northern Territory was clearly not the kind of person who would willingly reveal secrets, so the two sides could only be enemies.

Looking at his master's cold gaze, Lan Yin couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone thought Chen Feng was doomed this time, after all, the Azure Mortal Sect had even used the City of Azure Mortal.

But Lan Yin felt that Chen Feng would be fine.

This was his gut feeling.

"If Chen of the Northern Territory escapes this time, I must return to the clan to see the clan leader." Lan Yin had already made up his mind.

Although Hall Master Xiao and others hold high positions and wield great power in the Void Spirit Race, the real authority in the Void Spirit Race still rests with the current Void Spirit Race leader.

A dozen or so breaths later, the sea of fire in the distance had already receded.

The members of the Demon-Slaying Alliance were not dead; a large golden bell was floating above their heads.

At this moment, the bell is covered with cracks, clearly indicating that it is blocking the Divine Ability the Hongri.

However, all of them had some injuries, more or less.

After all, Chen Feng launched a sneak attack, and even though he immediately unleashed the great bell, some people were still injured.

Among them, Jiang Henian and Venerable Seven Colors were the most seriously injured, with burns on many parts of their bodies and their energy depleted.

"Chen of the Northern Territory, you're courting death!" Jiang Henian glared fiercely at Chen Feng.

They were about to leave, and Chen of the Northern Territory still dared to attack them.

If it weren't for his cousin bringing a top-tier protective spiritual Spirit Treasure this time...

I'm afraid some of them must have perished just now.

That Hongri was a fragment of Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, and its attack was comparable to that of Late Void Refinement.

This is not something they, in their Early Void Refinement, can easily block.

Batu of the Giant Spirit Race roared and charged towards Chen Feng.

He was also seriously injured, so naturally he was furious.

But he was stopped by a figure halfway there.

The person who stopped him was none other than Liu Zhenyang.

"Fellow Daoist, you should stop here!" Liu Zhenyang naturally wouldn't let these people get close to Chen Feng.

However, he was very dissatisfied with Chen Feng, as he had just been ambushed by Chen Feng.

Now Chen Feng has also ambushed the Demon-Slaying Alliance.

Jiang Wuheng did not look at Chen Feng, but instead asked Venerable Jixuan:

"Fellow Daoist Jixuan, shouldn't you give an explanation?"

Jiang Wuheng was clearly furious. He had already backed down and was ready to leave, but now he had been tricked. Anyone would be upset in his situation.

Venerable Jixuan frowned as he looked at Chen Feng.

As an old monster who had lived for nearly ten thousand years, he naturally saw through Chen Feng's reason for the sneak attack: he wanted to make them fight each other so he could take the opportunity to escape.

As for their previous promise to join the Azure Mortal Sect, that was just a delaying tactic.

However, he didn't care about that. As long as they remained within the sealed-off area of City of Azure Mortal, there was absolutely no way for them to escape.

What needs to be done now is to get rid of Jiang Wuheng and the others as soon as possible, and then slowly deal with Chen of the Northern Territory.

Venerable Jixuan said with a smile:

"It's understandable that Elder Chen harbors some resentment towards you because of what happened before. Aren't you all alright?"

Venerable Jixuan then looked at Chen Feng:

"Elder Chen, abandon your thoughts. I will not give you a second chance."

Chen Feng did not answer Venerable Jixuan's question; he was not in a good mood.

I originally thought that activating the Red Sun Spirit Treasure twice in a row would kill at least one or two Void Refinement.

It now seems that the Demon-Slaying Alliance has made ample preparations to deal with him.

"What a pity," Chen Feng sighed inwardly.

I originally planned to kill a few Void Refinement before leaving, but it seems I won't have the chance now.

Chen Feng immediately channeled his Spiritual Power into the Void Heaven Token.

However, apart from emitting light, the Void Heaven Token did not exhibit any summoning power as before.

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng's expression changed:

"Could the sealing power of this City of Azure Mortal really withstand even the summoning power of the Void Heaven Realm?"

But Chen Feng quickly rejected the idea.

Because he was able to communicate with the Void Heaven Token before, and could also feel that summoning power.

This proves that the previous Void Heaven Token was capable of taking him away.

But things changed in that short period of time.

Just as Chen Feng was wondering, the Void Heaven Token suddenly transmitted a consciousness. This consciousness was very familiar to Chen Feng; it was the consciousness of the purple tree.

This was the first time Chen Feng had sensed the consciousness of the purple tree from the Void Heaven Token.

The consciousness was very weak, and it was obviously extremely difficult for the purple tree to transmit this consciousness; it would definitely have to come at a price.

Within his consciousness, there was only a simple message, but its contents sent chills down Chen Feng's spine!

"Escape. There's Half-Step Dao Integration -merging being nearby."

Half-Step Dao Integration!

This was the first time Chen Feng had heard of this realm, and Chen Feng had no idea what the realms above Void Refinement were.

Even after he destroyed the Nanyang Sect and browsed through its records, he found no information about anything above the Nanyang Sect Void Refinement.

However, the Half-Step Dao Integration mentioned by the spirit of the Void Heaven Realm should be a realm above the Void Refinement.

Chen Feng immediately looked around, but there was nothing unusual in the scene.

Venerable Jixuan was still communicating with Jiang Wuheng.

As for the City of Azure Mortal, there was not a sound whatsoever.

This gave Chen Feng a chill down his spine.

Despite the presence of so many powerful beings, no one noticed anyone nearby.

They didn't even find City of Azure Mortal stronghold of the Azure Mortal Sect.

What a terrifying existence this Half-Step Dao Integration must be!

Chen Feng immediately tried to communicate with the Void Heaven Token: "Do you have any ideas?"

The Void Heaven Token transmitted another consciousness:

"You are currently in the realm of Half-Step Dao Integration. If I forcibly summon you back to the Void Heaven Realm, he will definitely notice."

"Leaving the territory"
