Chapter 889
Surrender
Cang Wanjun and the others looked at Chen Feng with disbelief.
According to the intelligence they had previously obtained, Chen Feng was only at the half-step Dao Integration realm. It was only because he had mastered the power of the stars that he was able to fight against a cultivator at the first step of the Dao Integration realm.
The reason Chen Feng was able to kill two cultivators at the first step of the Dao Integration stage last time was because those two had been severely injured by the extraterrestrial demons, which is why Chen Feng was able to kill them so easily.
This is also a rough assessment of Chen Feng's strength by the Dao Integration cultivators of the nine star domains.
But now, Elder Qin, who was at the third step of the Dao Integration stage, was actually killed by Chen Feng with a single punch.
It's easy to imagine how shocking this was for everyone.
Cang Wanjun, Hongmo Sanren, and Fufengzi were all filled with lingering fear.
They had all wanted to take action against Chen Feng.
Jun Tianlan forced a smile upon hearing Chen Feng's words:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, this matter is indeed Elder Qin's fault."
What can Jun Tianlan say now? Even the old monster at the third step of the Dao Integration stage has been killed by Chen Feng. He, a half-step Dao Integration stage cultivator, is no more than an ant in front of him.
Now he's wondering if Chen Feng will let him go.
After all, if the other party dared to kill Elder Qin, they would definitely dare to kill him as well.
Chen Feng clapped his hands:
"What a pity, the force wasn't controlled well."
Chen Feng was helpless; this was the second time he had annihilated a Dao Integration cultivator, leaving him with nothing but his soul.
The first time was in the Xuanhuang Realm. At that time, he was afraid of that second-step Dao Integration cultivator, and he also killed the opponent's soul and spirit with one punch.
Now Elder Qin is the same.
There was no other way; he simply couldn't fully control his physical strength anymore. Plus, the methods of Dao Integration cultivators were unpredictable. If he gave them a chance to breathe, who knew if they could escape?
However, after these two attempts, he had a general understanding of his own strength.
The Forty-Eight Star Array has already given him strength comparable to the fourth step of the Dao Integration Realm.
If we can utilize the scroll's teleportation ability, we might be able to put up a fight against the fifth-level monster.
Chen Feng then looked at Jun Tianlan:
"I have a few questions for you."
Upon hearing this, Jun Tianlan immediately breathed a sigh of relief:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please ask away. I will answer whatever I know."
Jun Tianlan was terrified that Chen Feng might kill him at the slightest provocation.
"Have you ever heard of the Xuanhuang Realm?" Chen Feng stared at Jun Tianlan.
Jun Tianlan shook his head decisively: "I have never heard of this place."
Chen Feng continued to ask:
"Do you know about the Northern Underworld?"
Upon hearing the words "Northern Underworld Region," Jun Tianlan's expression visibly changed. He asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, you also know about the Northern Underworld Region?"
Hearing this, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
If we hadn't obtained any intelligence this time, it would have been a wasted trip. Now that the other side knows about the Northern Underworld, we've at least gained something.
Chen Feng said, "Tell me everything you know about the Northern Underworld."
Jun Tianlan remained silent for a while before speaking:
"I can say it, but you must swear an oath that you will let me leave after I tell you."
Jun Tianlan wasn't stupid. Although he didn't know why Chen Feng knew about the Northern Underworld, this information was definitely very important to Chen Feng.
Once he says it, it loses its value.
What if Chen Feng wants to kill him then?
Chen Feng immediately burst into laughter:
"It seems you don't understand your situation yet."
As Chen Feng finished speaking, he unleashed the Star Domain.
Jun Tianlan immediately felt a terrifying stellar power pressing down on him!
This suppressive force directly suppressed his primordial spirit and Dao seed.
He couldn't even project his divine sense.
"Release Daozi!"
"Do you know what you're doing? My Heavenly Profound Holy Land has an ancestor who has reached the fifth step of the Dao Integration Realm!"
"If anything happens to Daozi, not only will you die, but all nine star regions will be buried with you!"
The eight female cultivators who came with Jun Tianlan all angrily rebuked Chen Feng.
"Shut up!" Chen Feng waved his hand dismissively.
The star domain spread out, and the eight female cultivators who were still talking were instantly blasted into nothingness by the power of the stars!
After killing eight people, Chen Feng walked up to Jun Tianlan.
He reached out and forcefully pulled Jun Tianlan's primordial spirit out of his body.
Jun Tianlan, whose primordial spirit had left his body, asked in terror, "What are you going to do?"
Chen Feng did not answer, but instead used the power of the stars to imprison Jun Tianlan's primordial spirit.
He wants to take Jun Tianlan back and interrogate him slowly.
As for the retaliation from the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, Chen Feng was not particularly worried.
If the other side wants to fight, then let them fight. Xingfengmen and he are no longer as weak as they used to be.
Even if it's a large star field, with Yin Yin, him, and the Immortal Corpse Puppet, it's not like they can't fight at the fifth step of the Dao Integration stage.
Chen Feng then looked at the Dao Integration cultivators of the nine star domains.
At this moment, only Xu Wangchen and Zhang Yan remained in the arena. As for the others, they had already fled into the Void Realm when Chen Feng began to suppress Jun Tianlan.
In particular, Cang Wanjun and Hongmo Sanren were the fastest runners.
They were involved in the attack on Yin Yin back then, so Chen Feng is very likely to take action against them.
“Fellow Daoist Chen.” Xu Wangchen looked at Chen Feng nervously.
Chen Feng's behavior just now was completely different from before. Before, Chen Feng was sitting with them, chatting and laughing while drinking tea.
At that time, he thought Chen Feng was a very gentle person.
But who could have imagined that Chen Feng, upon meeting the people from the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, would immediately kill their elder who was at the third step of the Dao Integration Realm, and even capture the Dao Child?
The contrast was so striking that he was momentarily stunned.
Chen Feng said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to be nervous. I, Chen, would never do anything to harm my friends. My actions just now were only because the people from the Heavenly Profound Holy Land were too arrogant, and I had no choice but to act."
Upon hearing this, both Xu Wangchen and Zhang Yan's lips twitched.
But both of them still smiled.
Zhang Yan chimed in, "Fellow Daoist Chen is right. Elder Qin was indeed too arrogant. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Chen's extraordinary strength, he would probably have died at the hands of that old thief just now."
Xu Wangchen, standing beside him, spoke with a grave expression:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you killed people from the Heavenly Profound Holy Land. They will definitely not let this go. You should be prepared."
Zhang Yan nodded in agreement.
"The third step of the Dao Integration Realm is a high-level combat force even in the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, and they all leave their life tablets in the Holy Land. Elder Qin's death has probably already been known to the Heavenly Profound Holy Land."
Chen Feng said:
"You two don't need to worry about this. If the Heavenly Profound Holy Land sends someone over, just say that I did it."
Xu Wangchen immediately said:
“Fellow Daoist Chen, how could I do something like kicking someone when they're down?”
Zhang Yan also spoke up: "If the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land truly sends someone, we will simply refuse to see them. We will absolutely not reveal any of your secrets, fellow Daoist. However, I'm afraid Cang Wanjun and the others might..."
Chen Feng said, "Don't worry, they can't escape."
Now that he had made his move, Chen Feng naturally wouldn't let Cang Wanjun and the others off the hook.
He hadn't attacked Cang Wanjun and the others before because he was worried about not being strong enough. Now that he had a clear understanding of his own strength, Chen Feng had nothing to fear.
Getting rid of Cang Wanjun and his group will also eliminate a potential threat.
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, both Xu Wangchen and Zhang Yan were startled.
They naturally understood the meaning behind Chen Feng's words; he was preparing to attack Cang Wanjun and his group.
Chen Feng said:
"Gentlemen, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, please send someone to contact me."
After saying that, Chen Feng and Jun Tianlan transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the distance.
After Chen Feng left, Zhang Yan sighed:
"From today onwards, the nine star regions are likely to descend into chaos."
The third-stage Dao Integration cultivator from the Heavenly Profound Holy Land died in the Nine Star Domains, and his Dao Child was captured by Chen Feng. This event was enough to shake the world beyond.
At that time, their nine star domains will surely become the focus of attention for all star domains outside the boundary.
Xu Wangchen didn't reply, but suddenly asked:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what are your plans next?"
"Plans?" Zhang Yan looked at Xu Wangchen.
Xu Wangchen said in a deep voice:
"After this incident, the landscape of the Nine Star Regions will likely undergo significant changes. If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before the Dinghai Star Region is also reclaimed by the Xingfeng Sect, and the entire Nine Star Regions will henceforth be dominated by the Xingfeng Sect."
"What do you want to say?" Zhang Yan looked at Xu Wangchen.
Xu Wangchen said, word by word:
"I have decided to lead the Void Spirit Clan to completely submit to Fellow Daoist Chen!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan's expression changed.
He naturally knew Xu Wangchen's plan. Choosing to join Xingfeng Sect now meant fighting against Tianxuan Holy Land together with Xingfeng Sect. This was gambling with the fate of the clan!
If Xingfeng Sect is defeated, then the Xuling Clan, along with Xu Wangchen himself, will be doomed.
Zhang Yan was immediately caught in a dilemma. At his level, he didn't really care about the star field he controlled; all he cared about was himself.
Xu Wangchen said:
“I have been stuck at the first step for many years, and I have never dared to cross the second personal tribulation. Now I can only hide in the Void Realm and eke out a living. I have had enough of this kind of life.”
"Fellow Daoist Chen's appearance is an opportunity, and I'm willing to take a gamble!"
Xu Wangchen gazed at the starry sky, a glint of light appearing in his eyes.
Back then, he was a remarkable figure who led the Void Spirit Clan to conquer the entire Void Spirit Starfield.
But since his advancement to the Dao Integration Realm, he has become timid and he no longer has the high spirits he once had.
Chen Feng's appearance has given him an opportunity.
Chen Feng, though only at the half-step Dao Integration stage, possessed the strength to kill someone at the third step of the Dao Integration stage.
What if we wait until Chen Feng advances to the Dao Integration stage? Just how strong would he be then?
His decision to join Xingfengmen during this crisis was undoubtedly a timely act of kindness.
When Chen Feng grows up, he will then benefit from his success.
Looking at Xu Wangchen's determined eyes, Zhang Yan shook his head:
"I'm sorry, I don't want to take any risks."
Although Zhang Yan was tempted, he ultimately gave up because he wanted the Heavenly Profound Holy Land to be terrifying.
Xu Wangchen smiled:
“I understand your decision, fellow Daoist. Then I shall take my leave.”
After saying that, Xu Wangchen left alone.
Xu Wangchen wasn't surprised by Zhang Yan's decision; not everyone has the courage to take such a gamble.
The Heavenly Profound Holy Land is too powerful. Joining forces with Chen Feng means going against the Heavenly Profound Holy Land.
The Dao Integration cultivators in the Nine Star Domains generally cherish their lives. Not only Zhang Yan, but other Dao Integration cultivators must have made the same decision as Zhang Yan.
Those Dao cultivators from the nine star regions who had achieved Dao integration had long since had their Dao hearts extinguished.
Central Star Sea, within the Sea Fork Clan.
Chen Feng has already arrived here.
After leaving the edge of the star field, he first settled Jun Tianlan on a desolate planet, and then used the scroll teleportation to rush to the Sea Fork Clan.
He came here naturally to find Cang Wanjun.
As soon as Chen Feng appeared in the Sea Chariot Clan, a woman led several high-ranking members of the Sea Chariot Clan to greet him.
"Greetings, Senior Chen!" The woman bowed respectfully to Chen Feng, as did the other Void Refinement cultivators of the Sea Fork Clan.
This woman was none other than Cang Yuelan, the holy maiden of the Haicha tribe.
After decades, Cang Yuelan's cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
At this moment, she showed no arrogance as a saintess, and kept her back bent, adopting a respectful posture.
The other high-ranking members of the Sea Fork Clan shared a similar attitude.
Chen Feng looked at Cang Yuelan and asked:
Where is Cang Wanjun?
"Reporting to Senior Chen, the Ancestor just conveyed an order to the clan that he needs to leave the Nine Star Domains for a while. I will now take over as the new patriarch of the Sea Fork Clan."
"In addition, the Haicha tribe members who attacked Senior Chen have all been imprisoned. Senior Chen can deal with them as he sees fit."
Cang Yuelan spoke respectfully with her head bowed.
"That old fox, he's quick on his feet." Chen Feng couldn't help but admire Cang Wanjun's decisiveness.
After discovering his strength, they actually abandoned the Sea Fork Clan and fled alone.
Moreover, the other party deliberately made Cang Yuelan the clan leader, which clearly shows that they knew he had a relationship with Cang Yuelan, so they made Cang Yuelan the clan leader.
Chen Feng looked at Cang Yuelan:
"What do you suggest I do about your Sea Fork Tribe?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Yuelan's face turned pale, and she immediately knelt down:
"Senior Chen, Yue Lan is willing to serve you as a slave, only asking that you grant my Haicha tribe a way to survive!"
The other high-ranking members of the Sea Fork Clan were all saddened to see their new clan leader in this state.
Their Sea Fork Clan has dominated the Nine Starfields for countless years, yet now their clan leader is kneeling before others for the sake of the Sea Fork Clan's survival.
Chen Feng looked at Cang Yuelan kneeling in front of him and fell into silence.
After a moment, he finally spoke:
"Send those imprisoned cultivators to Xingfeng Sect. Furthermore, from now on, no cultivator above the Nascent Soul stage in your clan may leave the Central Star Sea. Ninety percent of all clan resources shall be handed over."
After saying that, Chen Feng's figure disappeared from the Sea Fork Clan.
Cang Yuelan quickly shouted:
"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"
Cang Yuelan knew that Chen Feng's decision not to wipe out their Sea Chariot Clan was already considered merciful.
Although many of the Sea Chariot Clan members to be sent to Xingfeng Gate account for almost 70% of the Sea Chariot Clan's high-level combat power, it is all worthwhile as long as the Sea Chariot Clan's heritage can be preserved.
As for resources, we don't need them.
Without those powerful individuals, the Sea Fork Clan has no use for those resources.
"Clan leader, is our ancestor really not coming back?" A high-ranking member of the Sea Fork Clan asked Cang Yuelan, his expression filled with sorrow.
Cang Yuelan gave a bitter smile:
"Come back? If he really comes back, the last of my Sea Fork Clan will cease to exist. Immediately inform the entire clan and have all the remaining clan members return to the clan. From this day forward, my Sea Fork Clan will never leave the Central Star Sea!"
After saying that, Cang Yuelan turned and left. (End of Chapter)
