Chapter 956
Capturing the Bright Moon
On these warships stood powerful figures from the Xingfeng Sect, the leader of whom was Jiang Bohan.
Jiang Bohan cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Feng:
"I am Jiang Bohan, the elder of the Fengmen Sect. From now on, I will be specifically responsible for protecting Fellow Daoist Wang's safety."
Seeing this, Xu Wangchen and the others were even more dumbfounded.
Who is Jiang Bohan? He is one of the most famous people in Xingfengmen right now.
This was not due to his own strength, but rather Jiang Bohan's outstanding fleet command ability.
The fleet he commanded has never been defeated in Xingfengmen.
In particular, Jiang Bohan made outstanding contributions during the recapture of the nine star regions.
With the Xingfeng Sect's fleet combined with Jiang Bohan, almost no one below the Dao Integration level could stop them.
At this moment, Liu Qian looked at Yin Yan and said:
"Senior Yin, from now on you will stay by Young Friend Wang's side. You must obey any of his orders unconditionally."
Although Yin Yan was puzzled, she would not disobey Liu Qian's orders, and immediately cupped her hands in greeting:
"Your subordinate obeys."
After explaining everything, Liu Qian looked at Chen Feng again:
"Young friend, then we shall part ways here. Please contact me if you need anything."
Chen Feng nodded: "Yes, Steward Liu, take care."
Liu Qian then departed on an antimatter warship, accompanied by Xu Wangchen and another Dao Integration cultivator from Xingfeng Sect.
After everyone had left, Chen Feng looked at the Holy Lord of Haoyue and said:
"Senior Haoyue, it's time for us to go back."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of Bright Moon snapped out of his daze and looked at Chen Feng with disbelief:
How did you do that?
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon was now filled with curiosity. It was simply unbelievable that Chen Feng had actually persuaded Xingfeng Sect to surrender.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "We'll talk about it on the way back."
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon nodded, and then entered the antimatter warship with Chen Feng.
The fleet then transformed into countless streaks of light and headed towards the distant star vortex.
On the other side, Liu Qian, along with Xu Wangchen and another Dao Integration cultivator, were returning to the sect.
On the way, Xu Wangchen couldn't help but ask:
"Manager, what exactly is going on?"
Xu Wangchen did not question why he had to surrender to the Three Saints Sect.
He knew that since the sect had made this decision, it must have been with the sect leader's approval.
If he questions this matter, it would be tantamount to questioning Chen Feng.
Liu Qian said with a smile:
"Since Senior Xu and Senior Xie are on the same side, I won't hide it anymore. The Wang Ping we just saw was actually the sect leader in disguise."
Upon hearing this, both Xu Wangchen and the Xie-surnamed cultivator beside him were startled.
But they quickly realized what was happening, and both of them gasped in shock.
The two of them immediately understood why Xingfengmen had surrendered.
It turns out their own sect leader had been impersonating someone else; they had essentially surrendered to themselves.
Furthermore, the two also realized that if Chen Feng's plan succeeded, they would indeed not need to worry about the threat from the Celestial Venerable.
Their Xingfeng Sect nominally surrendered to the Three Saints Sect, and it was Wang Ping of the Three Saints Sect who persuaded them to surrender, so they belonged to Wang Ping's forces.
According to the rules of the battle of geniuses, the Celestial Venerable cannot intervene.
The competition among geniuses has long been known to the surrounding star regions. Now, many forces in the surrounding star regions are choosing to follow some of these geniuses, hoping to secure a better future.
However, all of this is contingent on Chen Feng not being discovered.
The cultivator surnamed Xie said with some concern:
"Although the sect leader's disguise is exquisite, what would happen if he encountered a Celestial Venerable?"
They couldn't see through Chen Feng's disguise, but that didn't mean the Celestial Venerable couldn't.
Liu Qian said with a smile:
"Rest assured, both of you. Since the sect leader dares to do this, he must be confident. We don't need to worry. With the sect leader buying us time, we must do our best to improve our strength during this period."
Xu Wangchen and the other person both nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
They really need to seize the opportunity and develop quickly.
Huayang Starfield, at the vortex of the starry sky.
At this moment, there are still a large number of French ships docked here, all of which are preparing to attack Xingfeng Gate.
If it weren't for Wang Ping of the Three Saints Sect going to persuade the Xingfeng Sect to surrender, this group would have already set off for the Xingfeng Sect.
On a Dharma ship, Yan Zheng and several other cultivators were waiting.
One of them said:
"It's been several days already, and there's still no result from the negotiations? How long are we supposed to wait?"
Another person said with a smile:
"Don't worry, it will only take a few days anyway. After all, Wang Ping is a prodigy of the Three Saints Sect, so we should give him some face."
From the beginning, everyone thought that it was impossible to persuade Xingfengmen to surrender.
The young man named Wang Ping's trip to Xingfeng Sect was a complete waste of time, and he might even be killed for angering Xingfeng Sect.
After all, Xingfeng Sect is not some other force.
The Xingfeng Sect has always been domineering and would never care about Wang Ping's status as a direct disciple of the Three Saints Sect.
Yan Zheng spoke up:
“With Fellow Daoist Haoyue going with us, Young Friend Wang should be fine. Besides, if something happens to him, it won’t do us any good. If the upper sect is furious, we might also be held responsible.”
Upon hearing this, the group's expressions darkened. In truth, they disliked the young geniuses of the Three Saints Sect.
They could have quickly reclaimed the remaining star fields, but the Three Saints Sect and the Blood Demon Palace insisted on engaging in this battle of geniuses. Isn't that just a waste of time?
Just as the group was talking, the vortex in the distant starry sky also stirred.
An antimatter warship flew out from the cosmic vortex.
Upon seeing these antimatter warships, Yan Zheng's expression changed:
"It's the Dharma Ship of Xingfeng Sect! Activate the formation immediately!"
The others also changed their expressions, as they naturally recognized the Dharma ship of the Xingfeng Sect.
To everyone's surprise, before they could even launch an attack, the Xingfeng Sect members came knocking on their door.
As Yan Zheng gave the order, the surrounding starry sky immediately lit up with the light of arrays.
The protective arrays of all the Dharma ships were also activated.
They had witnessed the terrifying power of the Xingfeng Sect's magic ship; not only was it incredibly fast, but the weapons it carried were capable of killing even a Void Refinement cultivator.
Just as the atmosphere was tense, a voice rang out from within the Xingfengmen fleet in the distance:
"Don't panic, it's us."
Upon hearing this voice, Yan Zheng and the others were taken aback, because they recognized the voice very well; it belonged to none other than the Holy Lord of Haoyue.
Soon, Chen Feng, the Holy Lord of Haoyue, and Yin Yan emerged from an antimatter warship.
Upon seeing this, Yan Zheng and the others immediately flew over.
Yan Zheng asked in confusion:
"Fellow Daoist Haoyue, what is this?"
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon glanced at Chen Feng, who was standing silently to the side, and then spoke up:
"Young friend Wang has successfully persuaded Xingfeng Sect to surrender. From now on, the Nine Star Regions will be under Young friend Wang's jurisdiction. You can leave now."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zheng almost thought he had misheard.
One of the monks couldn't help but say:
"How is this possible? How could Xingfeng Sect surrender!" The Holy Lord of Haoyue frowned and said:
"What? You don't even believe what I say?"
The cultivator's expression changed, and he quickly said, "I naturally believe what Fellow Daoist Haoyue says, but I am just too surprised."
Yan Zheng was the first to react, and he immediately cupped his hands to Wang Ping and said:
"Young friend Wang truly deserves to be called the top genius of the Three Saints Sect. His merit in persuading Xingfeng Sect to surrender is worth more than all of ours combined. I'm sure it won't be long before his name spreads throughout the surrounding star regions."
Yan Zheng wasn't lying; Xingfeng Sect was one of the top forces in the surrounding star regions.
Having recaptured Xingfeng Sect, their advantage is far greater than that of the Blood Demon Palace, making this a very significant achievement.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Senior is too kind. This success was largely due to luck."
Yan Zheng immediately burst into laughter:
"Luck is also a kind of strength; others don't have the kind of luck you have, young friend."
At this moment, the Holy Lord of Bright Moon spoke:
"Now that the matter is settled, I'll head back now. Please make yourself at home, young friend Wang."
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon's mission this time is to escort Wang Ping to Xingfeng Sect.
His mission was complete, so there was no need for him to stay by Wang Ping's side any longer.
Chen Feng said with a smile:
"I am very grateful for your escort this time, senior. I will remember it forever."
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon waved his hand: "I was just following orders. You can come find me later if you need anything."
For the Holy Lord of Haoyue, Wang Ping is a valuable investment, and it is necessary to befriend him.
After explaining everything, the Holy Lord of Haoyue left.
At this moment, Yan Zheng looked at Chen Feng and said:
"Young friend, since you've come to our Huayang Star Region, why not stay a few days as a guest before you leave? I'd like to extend my hospitality to you."
Chen Feng thought for a moment:
"Since you have extended such a kind invitation, I will naturally not refuse."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zheng burst into laughter: "Please follow me, young friend."
Chen Feng and his group followed Yan Zheng into the Huayang Star Region.
Before leaving, Chen Feng took a deep look at the spot where the Holy Lord of Bright Moon had departed.
The reason he agreed to let Yan Zheng stay in the Huayang Star Region for a few days was that he wanted to take this time to deal with the Holy Lord of Haoyue.
With Yan Zheng and others as witnesses, even if the Holy Lord of Haoyue were to get into trouble, the Three Saints Sect would not suspect him.
On the other side, the Holy Lord of Bright Moon was speeding through the starry sky.
As a cultivator at the fifth step of the Dao Integration stage, his escape speed was extremely fast; from a distance, he could only be seen as a point of light traversing the dark starry sky.
At this moment, the Holy Lord of Bright Moon was reporting the situation to Hun Leizi while holding the jade talisman.
"That's the situation. Xingfengmen has already surrendered to Wang Ping, and Liu Qian even allowed Xingfengmen's fleet to remain under Wang Ping's command."
Hun Leizi's surprised voice came from the jade talisman:
“Wang Ping, it seems we have all underestimated this new prodigy. I know Chen Beijing; he would never surrender without sufficient benefits.”
Hun Leizi was very curious about what Wang Ping had offered to get Chen Beijing to submit.
The Holy Lord of Haoyue said, "I asked Wang Ping, but he didn't say anything. However, I heard that Wang Ping comes from an extraordinary background and has very deep connections within the Three Saints Sect. He even has some contact with a Celestial Venerable. I suppose the conditions he offered to Xingfeng Sect this time won't be bad."
Hun Leizi nodded:
"It seems we should consider adding Wang Ping to our list of potential investors."
Tianxuan Holy Land has been investing in promising geniuses within the Three Saints Sect.
This was also for the future development of Tianxuan Holy Land. Some female disciples of Tianxuan Holy Land were even given to the geniuses of the Three Saints Sect as concubines.
Hun Lei Zi knew very well that if their Tianxuan Holy Land wanted to enter the core of the Three Saints Sect, they had to build good relationships with the next generation of the Three Saints Sect.
Perhaps it's not obvious now, but when these geniuses take power, that will be the time when their Heavenly Profound Holy Land truly rises.
"Come back first. Recently, the Taiyi Sect has started to suspect us because of Ling Xiaozhi's disappearance. I'm afraid they'll do something underhanded," Hun Leizi instructed.
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon seemed unconvinced:
"Senior brother, it's impossible for those few people from the Taiyi Sect to take me down. Don't worry, I'll be heading back right away."
"Hmm." Hun Leizi didn't say much more and then ended the jade talisman communication.
As the Holy Lord of Bright Moon put away the jade talisman, he prepared to speed up, but then he suddenly realized that his escape speed was actually starting to slow down.
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon's expression changed, and he immediately sensed his surroundings.
He could see that the surroundings were filled with this strange power, and it was this strange power that slowed him down.
"Who is it!" the Holy Lord of Bright Moon shouted coldly.
The person who was able to attack him silently must be incredibly powerful.
Just as the Holy Lord Haoyue finished speaking, a sense of crisis suddenly came from behind him.
He immediately felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively activated his supernatural powers.
In an instant! The moonlight enveloped him.
boom!
A deafening explosion echoed through the starry sky.
The starry sky within tens of thousands of miles around collapsed instantly, and the Holy Lord of Bright Moon fell directly into the Void Realm.
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon, who had fallen into the Void Realm, was now filled with horror.
Because at this moment, his lower body was gone.
His physical body simply couldn't withstand the bombardment of that terrifying force.
But that's not the most crucial point. He had just concentrated all his Dao Fruit power for protection, and he was also wearing an inner armor of the Tongtian Lingbao level.
Even so, he still couldn't block the attack from the person who had ambushed him earlier.
At this moment, the Holy Lord of Haoyue finally saw who had attacked him.
When he saw the person in the distance, his face was filled with disbelief:
"Chen Beijing, it's you!"
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon had previously thought that it might be someone from the Taiyi Sect who had attacked him, but he never expected that it would be Chen Feng who made the move.
Chen Feng looked at the Holy Lord of Haoyue and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist, will you surrender willingly, or will I, Chen, take matters into my own hands?"
The Holy Lord of Haoyue said in shock and anger:
"Chen Beijing! Your Xingfeng Sect has already pledged allegiance to the Three Saints Sect. Aren't you afraid of incurring the Heavenly Venerable's wrath by attacking me?"
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon couldn't understand Chen Feng's reason for taking action.
Moreover, why is Chen Feng's strength completely different from before? He can't even withstand a single move.
You should know that he was once evenly matched with Chen Feng.
How long has it been? Chen Feng's strength has already reached such a terrifying level.
Chen Feng shook his head:
"It seems that you, fellow Daoist, do not wish to surrender easily."
Having said that, he took a step into the air and instantly disappeared from the spot.
The Holy Lord of Bright Moon's expression suddenly changed. At this moment, he only had half of his physical body left, and he couldn't even use his Body Transformation Divine Power. How could he be a match for Chen Feng?
In less than a few breaths, the Holy Lord of Bright Moon was captured by Chen Feng.
This battle was much easier than the one against Ling Xiaozi.
"Chen Beijing, you can't kill me! If you kill me, the Heavenly Venerable will never let you off!" The Bright Moon Saint Master, who was controlled by Chen Feng, kept threatening him.
However, Chen Feng completely ignored the threat from the Holy Lord of Bright Moon.
He directly stuffed the half-dead Bright Moon Saint Lord into the Mustard Seed Bead. (End of Chapter)
