Chapter 864
Controlling the Three Star Regions
"With so many forces at stake, even if Chen Beijing really intends to retaliate, he should still be somewhat wary," Jiang Xiao analyzed.
Jiang Xiao had only heard general news about the Dinghai Star Region and was unaware of the specific situation of Xingfeng Sect.
In his view, even though Xingfeng Sect was strong, it was impossible for them to deal with so many forces.
If this were done, it would inevitably cause a tremor in the star system.
Therefore, in his mind, as long as their forces and numbers were large enough, even Chen Beijing wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
"Immediately send someone to contact those forces and invite them to a gathering," Jiang Xiao instructed.
The elders in the hall understood Jiang Xiao's meaning and nodded in agreement.
On the other side, on the planet Huanxia.
The atmosphere at the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect was similar to that of the Jiang Clan; the entire sect was silent.
Inside the main peak cave of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect.
Four women were sitting at a stone table in the cave.
Of these four people, Chen Feng had met three of them before.
They are respectively the Holy Maiden of Rainbow Clouds, the Venerable Ice Soul, and the Venerable Seven Colors.
The last person was a woman dressed in a purple gauze dress. She was the current sect leader of the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect, Fairy Illusionary Clouds.
All four women were stunningly beautiful, but their faces were filled with sorrow.
"Sect Master, this matter was caused by me. I will go to Xingfeng Sect to apologize," said Saintess Caixia.
She still wore a veil; she had now reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The fact that she could reach such a level in just a few decades is enough to demonstrate her talent.
Upon hearing Saintess Caiyun's words, the indifferent Ice Soul Venerable beside her also spoke up:
"I'll go too. I was the one who personally dealt with this person back then!"
The Ice Soul Venerable was experiencing a complex mix of emotions at that moment.
Back then, Chen Feng could only run away from her, but now, not long after, he has grown to the point where he can fight against the Sea Fork Clan.
This left Venerable Ice Soul in a daze.
Seeing the two women looking like they were going to their deaths, Fairy Huanxia sighed:
"I also have my faults in this matter. If I had stopped you two back then, we wouldn't be in this situation today. Who would have thought that a small, insignificant force would grow to this level?"
Fairy Huanxia deeply regretted that she had been in seclusion all those years ago, trying to break through to the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement Realm, and had never paid attention to the affairs of the sect.
She didn't emerge from seclusion until ten years ago, and then she learned about the Xingfeng Sect.
At that time, she didn't care about it.
After all, it was just a grudge between a disciple and a young genius.
She never expected that such a simple matter would bring such a disaster to the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect.
"Sect Master, I will use my life to atone for my sins and will not implicate the sect." Venerable Ice Soul's voice was calm and steady.
Seeing her master and uncle in this state, Saintess Caixia felt extremely regretful.
She had been resentful of losing to Chen Feng in the Void Realm back then, so when she encountered Chen Feng again, she naturally chose to take action.
But in the end, he was no match for Chen Feng.
When she was in a life-or-death crisis, Venerable Ice Soul saved her, which deepened her enmity with Chen Feng.
Ultimately, all of this was caused by her.
"Master, Uncle-Master," tears streamed down the face of the Holy Maiden Caixia, who was at a loss for what to do.
She was afraid that she would implicate the sect, her master, and her uncle.
Seeing the Saintess Caixia constantly shedding tears, Fairy Huanxia affectionately patted her head:
“Caixia, since it has already happened, there is no use in regretting it. Besides, there is still a chance to turn things around.”
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Fairy Huanxia.
Fairy Huanxia took out a jade slip from her person:
"This is the information I had someone investigate about Chen Beijing. Take a look."
The group immediately probed the jade slip with their divine senses.
The jade slip contained a lot of information, mostly about Chen Feng's past, and even some information about Chen Feng's time in the Dinghai Star Region.
Although the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect is only a Void Refinement force, it has connections with several forces in the Dinghai Star Region and thus has certain information channels.
They have even more information than the Jiang clan.
At first, the girls didn't care, but after reading Chen Feng's information, they were all greatly shocked.
In just two hundred years, Chen Feng grew from an ordinary person to a powerful expert at the half-step Dao Integration level.
Moreover, this wasn't just him improving; Xingfeng Sect had also grown from an ordinary force to a star domain overlord.
This kind of growth can be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled in the nine star regions.
The word "monster" is no longer sufficient to describe it.
Even if someone were a reincarnated immortal, they probably couldn't achieve what Chen Beijing has done.
"Although Chen Beijing is decisive in killing, he has principles in doing things. Even now, he has not abandoned those mortals who followed him back then. In fact, he was even willing to clean house for the mortals because of the injustices they suffered."
"The feud between our Huanxia Immortal Sect and him is ultimately just because of the struggle between Caixia and him. It's just a contest between the younger generation. When the Jiang Clan and other forces were hunting him down, our Huanxia Immortal Sect did not take the initiative to get involved. Only Qicai was bewitched and went there once."
After speaking, Fairy Huanxia looked at the Seven-Colored Venerable beside her.
The Seven-Colored Venerable's face turned pale. She had indeed joined the Demon-Slaying Alliance back then, but it was just her alone; the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect did not participate.
"Sect Master, I will take responsibility for this matter." The Seven-Colored Venerable felt extremely bitter.
Actually, she didn't want to cause trouble for Chen Feng back then, but she was bewitched by that old bastard Jiang Wuheng.
Fairy Huanxia: "As long as we express enough sincerity, I think Chen Beijing will not make things difficult for our entire sect. An apology is definitely necessary. We will go to Xingfeng Sect together then."
"Master, this matter has nothing to do with you, why are you going there!" Saintess Caixia's expression changed.
Fairy Huanxia said with a wry smile:
"Since you've all gone, how can I not go? I'll be going to the ancestral land in the next few days to retrieve that item. Hopefully, this item can save your lives."
Upon hearing about that item, the women's expressions changed again, but none of them said anything.
At this moment, a sound transmission talisman flew in from outside. Fairy Huanxia took the talisman, listened for a while, and then revealed a cold smile.
Saintess Caixia asked, "Master, what happened?"
Fairy Huanxia said coldly:
"Jiang Xiao invited me to the Jiang Clan to discuss the matter of Xingfeng Sect's revenge. Several other top forces were also invited, including Xinggong."
Ice Soul Venerable frowned and analyzed:
"Does he intend to unite everyone to deal with Xingfeng Sect?"
Fairy Huanxia shook her head: "He doesn't have that much ability. He probably just wants to join forces to make Xingfeng Sect wary."
The Seven-Colored Venerable asked:
"Shall we go?"
Fairy Huanxia pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "No, we won't go. Our grudges with Xingfeng Sect are far less than those with the Jiang Clan. If we join forces with the Jiang Clan, there will be no turning back."
"Make preparations, we will depart for the Dinghai Star Region tomorrow."
Hearing Fairy Huanxia's words, the group nodded in agreement.
Fairy Huanxia is not only the strongest person in Huanxia Immortal Sect, but also an extremely capable person.
The greatest credit for the Huanxia Immortal Sect's development into a top power in the Weiyang Star Region undoubtedly goes to Fairy Huanxia.
Therefore, no one in the entire Huanxia Immortal Sect questioned Fairy Huanxia's decision. Time flies like an arrow, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.
Several major events occurred in the nine star regions during this period.
First, the Qianyuan Palace, which controlled the Qianyuan Star Region, was suddenly attacked by the Fire Burning Star Region and the Void Spirit Clan.
The battle lasted for three whole days.
The final result was the destruction of Qianyuan Palace, and almost all the powerful figures within the palace were slaughtered.
Everyone was utterly shocked by the news.
That's the Qianyuan Palace!
It was a force that possessed both half-step Dao Integration experts and true Dao Integration experts, and now it has been wiped out.
Are the Fireburning Starfield and the Void Spirit Clan crazy? Aren't they afraid of starting a starfield war?
Everyone was waiting for the Dao-Harmony Ancestor behind Qian Yuan Palace to make a move.
Several days passed, but the Dao-Merging Ancestor did not appear; it was as if he had disappeared.
Meanwhile, the people of the Fireburning Starfield and the Void Spirit Clan also began to suppress other forces in the Qian Yuan Starfield during this period.
In less than a month, the entire Qian Yuan Star Region was suppressed.
On that very day, a fleet from the Xingfengmen arrived in the Qianyuan Starfield and took up residence in the former Qianyuan Palace.
At the same time, Xingfengmen also announced that the Qianyuan Star Region would be officially taken over by Xingfengmen from today onwards, and all affairs within the star region would continue as usual.
The Xingfeng Sect will not interfere with the development of forces in the Qian Yuan Star Region; it only needs to provide a fixed amount of resources every year.
It was only at this moment that everyone realized that the Fire Brahma Star Domain and the Void Spirit Clan were merely pawns of the Xingfeng Sect, and that their attack on the Qianyuan Palace was also at the behest of the Xingfeng Sect.
But before everyone could be shocked by this, the powerful figures from the Fire Brahma Star Domain and the Void Spirit Clan took action again, this time heading to the Spirit Tide Star Domain.
The Lingxi Star Region was much weaker than the Qianyuan Star Region, and it only took half a month for the Lingxi Star Region to be taken over.
Similarly, Xingfengmen dispatched another fleet to take over.
This series of events terrified the forces in other star systems.
Two of the nine star regions have actually been subdued by the Xingfeng Sect.
This is something that has never happened before in the history of the nine star regions.
What's even stranger is that the Dao Integration experts from these two star regions never appeared, as if they had tacitly approved of Xingfeng Sect's actions.
This led many to speculate that something must have happened to the Dao Integration experts in these two star regions.
What surprised everyone even more was that neither the Sea Fork Clan nor the dominant forces in other star systems expressed any opinion on the actions of the Wind Sect.
This also implicitly condones the behavior of the ventilation system.
In an instant, panic gripped all nine star regions.
In the Unknown Starfield, before a vortex of starlight.
Giant magic ships emerged from the star vortex, some belonging to the Void Spirit Clan and others to the Fire Brahma Star Domain.
Each of the French ships was filled with a large number of powerful warriors.
However, their cultivation level is at least at the Nascent Soul stage, and the number of Void Refinement experts among them is over a hundred.
The French ship, in the attic.
Fen Wuji and Xu Wuji were sitting at the tea table drinking tea.
Across from the two sat a young man whose cultivation was only at the Golden Core stage, yet he showed no fear whatsoever while sitting in front of two half-step Dao Integration experts.
"Elder Ge, I've heard that many forces in the Weiyang Star Region offended Sect Master Chen back then?" Fen Wuji asked, looking at the young man opposite him.
Ge Yunxuan said with a smile:
"Yes, back then, there were indeed many forces in the Weiyang Star Region that targeted our sect leader."
As he spoke, Ge Yunxuan took out a jade slip.
The list above contains the names of the forces that attacked Chen Feng back then.
Ge Yunxuan was sent to Fen Wuji and Xu Wuji by Liu Qian a few months ago.
Several months ago, Fen Wuji and Xu Wuji suddenly contacted Xingfeng Sect, saying they wanted to help Xingfeng Sect take over the three major star regions. Liu Qian naturally had no objection to this.
The Xingfeng Sect already lacked manpower, so having help would allow them to quickly master the star field.
After that, Liu Qian sent Ge Yunxuan to contact Fen Wuji and the other person.
Ge Yunxuan also participated in the actions of the Qian Yuan Star Region and the Ling tide Star Region.
Now that the two star regions have been resolved, only the last one, the Weiyang Star Region, remains.
Fen Wuji glanced at the list of forces on the jade slip, then sneered and said:
"These few Void Refinement forces dare to hunt down Sect Master Chen. They are truly courting death. Leave this matter to our Fire Brahma Star Domain. My men will take care of all these forces within three days!"
The Void Realm beside him laughed and said:
“Fellow Daoist Fen, that’s not right of you. If you leave everything to yourselves, then we Void Spirit Clan will just be spectators.”
"Then we'll each have half," Fen Wuji said nonchalantly.
At this moment, Ge Yunxuan suddenly said:
"Seniors, the sect is very grateful for your help. The manager has already said that the resources plundered from the Weiyang Star Region this time will be divided among you two, with 30% going to you."
Upon hearing this, Fen Wuji quickly waved his hand:
"Elder Ge, please tell Steward Liu that we are helping your sect not for these resources, but because we genuinely want to befriend your sect."
Xu Wuji, who was standing next to him, also said, "That's right. Our Void Spirit Clan had a lot of conflicts with your sect back then. It's only right that we help your sect take over these star regions now."
Both of them knew very well that if they took anything from Xingfengmen, they would lose that favor.
Then how could they possibly ask Chen Feng to help them resolve the issue of demonic energy?
Ge Yunxuan seemed to have expected this, and he said with a smile:
"Since you two don't want the resources, you should at least want the territory. The manager has already said that you can choose any thirty cultivation stars in the Qian Yuan Star Region and the Ling tide Star Region."
Upon hearing this, Fen Wuji was alright, but Xu Wuji became somewhat uneasy.
The reason why Xu Wuji chose to join the Sea Chariot Clan was precisely for territory.
The Void Starfield is on the verge of destruction, and they are indeed in dire need of a territory.
Thirty cultivation stars already provide enough territory for the Void Spirit Clan to live on.
Just as Xu Wuji was struggling with his question, Ge Yunxuan continued;
"We, Xingfeng Sect, will remember your kindness. This territory is exclusively for you two. If you still refuse, I will have a hard time explaining it to the manager."
Ge Yunxuan understood Liu Qian's decision.
Xingfeng Sect needs allies to expand its influence across the nine star regions; it can't treat everyone as an enemy.
The Fireburning Starfield and the Void Race would be excellent allies.
Their own sect leader doesn't manage affairs and wouldn't worry about such things, but the subordinates are very thoughtful.
Seeing that Ge Yunxuan had said so, Fen Wuji and Xu Wuji exchanged a glance and then nodded:
"Since it's Steward Liu's idea, we won't refuse. Elder Ge, please thank Steward Liu for us when you return to Xingfeng Sect."
Just as the group was talking, the French ship suddenly stopped.
Fen Wuji frowned, but soon his divine sense seemed to detect something, and a playful look appeared on his face:
"It seems we don't need to actively seek them out." (End of Chapter)
