Double penetration, starting from being a trader

"Hei Ming went there personally? Could there really be a Void Refinement cultivator on that small star?"

Hong Lu asked in a deep voice.

He had previously investigated Canglan Star and even saw traces of battle between Void Refinement cultivators, which is why he sent Kongling to investigate.

However, Kong Ling stayed on Canglan Star for several months without finding any trace of Lianxu, so he ordered Huo Fan to lead people to take Canglan Star.

With a major battle imminent against the Weiyang Starfield, the Void Spirit Clan needs a stronghold to house their large army.

Although there are cultivation stars in the outer battlefield, those three cultivation stars have no spiritual energy whatsoever.

The environment is also very harsh and not suitable for long-term residence.

Canglan Star is undoubtedly the most suitable.

"No, it was the Black Nether Spirit Commander who felt that the Fire Brahma Spirit Commander had been spending too much time on Canglan Star, so he went to provide support."

The Nascent Soul cultivator answered respectfully.

Just then, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Void Spirit Clan rushed anxiously to Hong Lu's side.

"Commander Hong, something's happened on Canglan Star!"

Upon seeing the Nascent Soul cultivator's expression, Hong Lu frowned:
"What's wrong with the hasty assembly?"

The Nascent Soul subordinate hurriedly said:

"Our attack on Canglan Star failed, and less than 10% of our personnel were evacuated from Canglan Star."

Hong Lu's face darkened: "Didn't Hei Ming send people to provide support? How could they have failed!"

The Nascent Soul subordinate said in a trembling voice:

"Black Netherworld, Fire Brahma Spirit Commander, and the six late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who went to provide support have all perished. Void Spirit Commander and Priest Jiang have also been captured by the enemy."

Upon hearing his words, the entire French ship fell silent.

Some of the cultivators who were originally observing the formation being broken ahead all turned their heads to look at the Nascent Soul cultivator who had spoken.

Everyone looked on in disbelief.

Nine Nascent Soul cultivators, including three Spirit Generals, were sent to attack a minor star, yet they were all wiped out?
Hong Lu's aura suddenly erupted, and a terrifying killing intent filled the area. The Nascent Soul cultivator reporting to him immediately trembled with fear.

"Explain yourself clearly!" Hong Lu's eyes had turned bloodshot.

Although Hong Lu was a Spirit Commander like Hei Ming and others, his status in the Void Spirit Clan was far higher than that of the others.

This is not only due to his command ability, but also his strength.

"God of Slaughter" is the honorific title given to him by the Void Spirit Clan. In the countless years of the Void Spirit Clan's wars against foreign powers, Hong Lu's achievements are unparalleled.

At least several dozen Nascent Soul cultivators died at his hands.

The Nascent Soul cultivator exclaimed in terror:

"According to the news, with the help of the ethereal commander, our people have successfully broken through the great formation of Canglan Star."

Before the Nascent Soul cultivator could finish speaking, Hong Lu interrupted him: "Get to the point!"

"Our army was advancing with unstoppable momentum, but suddenly a person appeared on Canglan Star. This person is named Chen Beijing, a cultivator who has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. It was he who killed Black Nether Spirit Commander and the others."

The Nascent Soul cultivator recounted what had happened on Canglan Star.

These reports naturally came from the Void Spirit Clan cultivators who had fled Canglan Star.

Because they fled in panic, these people did not know the specific details, only that someone had killed Hei Ming and the others.

After all, battles at the Nascent Soul level are beyond the comprehension of these lower-level cultivators.

After hearing the Nascent Soul cultivator's account, everyone present was even more shocked.

A cultivator who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage killed eight people, including Hei Ming and Huo Fan, and everyone felt like they were listening to a story.

However, everyone knew very well that this Nascent Soul cultivator would never dare to lie to them about such a matter.

After all, Hong Lu is right here; who would dare to joke with him?

Hong Lu read out the name "Chen Beijing" with an extremely solemn expression.

He wouldn't be surprised if the other party only killed a few late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, because he could do that easily too.

But if Hei Ming and Huo Fan also die at the hands of the other party, that would be a different story.

Hei Ming and Huo Fan are both Nascent Soul cultivators who have mastered the power of laws, and their combat strength is far beyond that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

What surprised him even more was that the other party was just a Nascent Soul cultivator who had just broken through.

"Could the intelligence be wrong? How could a Nascent Soul cultivator who has just broken through have such combat power?" A Nascent Soul cultivator next to him couldn't help but question, finding it hard to believe the result.

Even among their Void Spirit Clan, there has never been a case of someone in the early stage of Nascent Soul defeating someone in the late stage of Nascent Soul.

Not to mention the incredible feat of defeating nine people by himself.

The Nascent Soul cultivator who reported immediately said:
"All the information from my subordinates comes from the cultivators who escaped from Canglan Star, so it is absolutely true!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

At this moment, Hong Lu shouted, "Notify everyone to evacuate this place!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator standing nearby had a change in expression:
"General Hong, we're about to break through this weak point in the formation. If we retreat now, won't everything we've done so far be for nothing?"

Hong Lu turned his head and looked coldly at the Nascent Soul cultivator who had spoken:
"Eight Nascent Soul cultivators are dead, and Kong Ling and Priest Jiang have been captured. Even if we manage to break the formation, what's the point?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people present turned grim.

They naturally understood what Hong Lu meant.

Their original plan was to break through the weak point of this star field array and then gather everyone to attack the Weiyang Star Field.

But now that they have lost three Spirit Generals and six Nascent Soul cultivators, their high-end combat power is gone.

This lineup was no match for the cultivators sent from the Weiyang Star Region.

"Go back and wait for the clan to send reinforcements!" Hong Lu didn't say anything more, and then walked into the Dharma Ship Pavilion alone.

Soon, the Void Spirit Clan's army began to retreat towards the cultivation star in the outer battlefield.

Two days later.

At the edge of the star field array, a large army of magic ships slowly sailed in.

There were about five thousand Dharma ships, and their journey through the starry sky was not affected in the slightest.

Each of the magic ships was illuminated by a deep blue array of light, isolating it from the violent spiritual energy in the starry sky.

These Dharma ships were filled with cultivators, the lowest of whom were at least at the Golden Core stage.

Among them, there were more than 6,000 Nascent Soul cultivators and 30 Deity Transformation cultivators.

Although the French ships were traveling together, they were divided into two parts.

They represent two major stars in the Weiyang Starfield: Huanxia Star and Ziwei Star.

Upon receiving news of the attack by the Void Spirit Clan cultivators, the Star Palace immediately ordered cultivators from two major stars to intercept them.

The Great Stars have acquired many resources in the Weiyang Starfield, and similarly, they bear great responsibilities.

When a crisis occurs in the Weiyang Starfield, they must unconditionally obey the Star Palace's orders to deploy.

This time, it was the cultivators from these two cultivation stars who came to resist the Void Spirit Clan.

On the Dharma ship of Ziwei Star, several Nascent Soul cultivators stood at the front. These people were from various forces on Ziwei Star.

The leader was a peak Nascent Soul cultivator from the Jiang clan named Jiang Zhan.

The Jiang Clan sent him to lead the team this time. Beside him were cultivators from the Jiang Clan, as well as cultivators from other forces on Ziwei Star.

“I remember the last time the Void Spirit Clan invaded was about three hundred years ago. I didn’t expect them to still be so greedy!” said an old man in the Nascent Soul stage with a cold expression.

Jiang Zhan looked up at the distant starry sky and said:
"According to the information from the Star Palace, the spiritual energy of the Void Spirit Starfield has long been exhausted. Naturally, they want to seize a piece of territory to survive as soon as possible, but they have chosen the wrong target."

As a major star power, Jiang Zhan didn't take the Void Spirit Clan too seriously. Three hundred years ago, the Void Spirit Clan attacked the Weiyang Star Region, but in the end, they were defeated by the Weiyang Star Region, and the Void Spirit Clan even lost several Void Refinement cultivators.

For Canglan Star, the Void Spirit Clan is an insurmountable enemy, but for a major star power like the Jiang Clan, the Void Spirit Clan is only a minor threat.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is right. My Weiyang Star Region has countless powerful individuals. How could a small clan like the Void Spirit Clan possibly covet them?"

The old man who had reached the Nascent Soul stage chimed in.

Jiang Zhan seemed to have thought of something, and then looked at a young man at the back of the crowd:
"Yun Chen, you'll come with me this time."

The others also looked at the young man standing at the back of the crowd. This young man was none other than Jiang Yunchen.

His strength has now returned to the half-step Nascent Soul stage, and this time he has come with the Jiang Clan to resist the Void Spirit Clan.

Not only Jiang Yunchen came, but also many young geniuses from various forces.

Combat is always the best way to improve one's strength. Although the invasion of the Void Race is a crisis, it is also a rare opportunity for the geniuses of these major powers to hone their skills.

Several young geniuses from other forces on Ziwei Star looked at Jiang Yunchen with strange eyes.

Jiang Yunchen was once hailed as the number one prodigy of Ziwei Star.

However, since his trip to the Void Heaven Realm more than a decade ago, Jiang Yunchen's cultivation level has declined, and he has lost this title.

The Saintess Caixia and others of the same generation as Jiang Yunchen have long since advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, while he is still stuck in the half-step Nascent Soul stage.

Jiang Yunchen clasped his hands in a salute:
"Uncle, I want to fight this battle myself."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhan nodded: "Alright, then be careful, the Void Spirit Clan is not so easy to deal with."

The old man at the Nascent Soul stage suddenly asked:
"I heard that Yun Chen was injured by a cultivator named Tuo Sen. Has that person been found yet?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunchen's expression turned ugly.

The name Tuosen can be said to be the biggest inner demon in his life. During this period, he dreamed about the events that happened in the Void Realm almost every day.

Now that it's being brought up to his face, isn't that just exposing his shortcomings?

But Jiang Yunchen didn't say anything, he just closed his eyes and ignored the mocking looks from the people around him.

Jiang Zhan shook his head in reply;

"That person hasn't been found yet; perhaps he's already dead."

Jiang Zhan clearly didn't want to talk about this topic, after all, this matter was a disgrace to their Jiang clan.

The Nascent Soul cultivator who had spoken earlier realized that there was something wrong with his words, so he immediately changed the subject and started talking about the Void Spirit Clan.

Jiang Yunchen stood silently in the crowd.

"Tuosen, you just wait! After this battle, I will definitely advance to the Nascent Soul stage. Don't let me find you!"

The invasion of the Void Spirit Clan is an opportunity for Jiang Yunchen. As long as he fights, he is confident that he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

This time, a respected ancestor of the Jiang clan gave him a heirloom item from the Jiang clan.

He is very confident that he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage if he has a life-or-death battle.

On the other side, on the magic ship of Illusionary Clouds Star.

The cultivators here were also discussing matters concerning the Void Spirit Clan.

The Jiang clan members were in charge of leading the team on Ziwei Star, while the Huanxia Immortal Sect was in charge of leading the team on Huanxia Star.

Compared to the Jiang Clan, the Huanxia Immortal Sect holds a higher status on Huanxia Star, because this cultivation star was fundamentally developed by the Huanxia Immortal Sect.

Originally, Huanxia Star was just a small star, but countless years ago, a peerless expert appeared in the Huanxia Immortal Sect.

In just a few hundred years, it reached the Refinement of Emptiness, and from then on, Illusionary Cloud Star was also promoted to a Great Star.

It was also because of that supreme expert that the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect rose to become one of the top forces in the Unending Star Region.

The other forces on this cultivation planet also basically follow the lead of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect.

The elder in charge of leading the team from the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect this time was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Caixia, this battle is your chance to make a name for yourself. Old Ancestor Leng values ​​you highly, so don't let her down."

An elder of the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect spoke to a woman not far away.

The woman stood alone inside the pavilion of the Dharma Boat. Even with a veil covering her face, her unparalleled beauty could not be concealed.

This woman is none other than the Holy Maiden of Rainbow Clouds. More than ten years have passed, and she has now reached the Nascent Soul stage.

The Saintess of Rainbow Clouds responded coldly, "I will not let my master down."

The elders of the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect showed no dissatisfaction with the Saintess of Rainbow Clouds' cold response.

Although she was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, the Saintess of Rainbow Clouds' master was the Void Refining Ancestor of the Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect, whose status and position were higher than hers.

"Don't be careless either. The Void Spirit Clan is not simple. If you encounter a Spirit Commander-level figure, retreat immediately," the elder advised.

The Holy Maiden of Rainbow Clouds nodded and did not reply.

The elder didn't ask any more questions, but instead discussed with the others how to deal with the Void Spirit Clan.

Several disciples of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect entered the attic.

"Junior Sister Caixia, is there anything you need from me?" One of the young men in the group asked as he approached Saintess Caixia.

When he looked at the Holy Maiden Caixia, his gaze was filled with a hint of infatuation.

This person is named Han Ke, and he has the strength of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. He is a disciple of another Void Refinement Ancestor of the Illusionary Cloud Immortal Sect.

However, in terms of status within the sect, he was inferior to Saintess Caixia.

Because it took him a full three hundred years to successfully transform into a deity, his natural talent was far inferior to that of the Holy Maiden Caixia.

The Illusionary Clouds Immortal Sect has long been cultivating the Holy Maiden of Rainbow Clouds as the next generation's seed for refining the Void Realm.

The Holy Maiden of Rainbow Clouds looked at Han Ke and said:

"I do have something to trouble you with, senior brother."

Han Ke smiled and said, "Junior sister, please speak freely. There's no need for formalities between us."

The Saintess of Rainbow Clouds said in a cold voice:

“I have a good friend named Nangong Yanyue. She is from Canglan Star. I hope that you can go and check on her for me. If she is in danger, please help her as much as possible. After this battle, I will also go to this star.”

Han Ke was taken aback: "Canglan Star? Is it a cultivation star on the edge of the Weiyang Starfield?"

Saintess Caixia explained, "It's normal that Senior Brother hasn't heard of it. This star is just a small one, and it recently escaped the range of the Star Domain Array. The Void Spirit Clan may have already conquered this star."

"I see." Han Ke looked enlightened and then said, "Junior sister, leave this matter to me. I will protect your friend."

The Holy Maiden of Rainbow Clouds instructed:

"Senior brother, if the situation on Canglan Star becomes critical, you should take Nangong Yanyue and leave this star to join me. Do not engage in conflict with the Void Spirit Clan."

Han Ke waved his hand:

"Don't worry, junior sister. Even if the Void Spirit Clan conquers this star, there won't be any powerful figures among them. Protecting her won't be a problem for me."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother." Saintess Caixia smiled faintly.

Upon seeing that smile, Han Ke's eyes widened. He immediately said, "Then I'll set off with my men now. Junior Sister, you'd better prepare for the challenge."

Han Ke did not delay and immediately summoned several disciples to board a magic boat and head towards the location of Canglan Star.

Watching Han Ke's magic ship depart, Saintess Caixia withdrew her gaze.

She had naturally heard about what happened to Canglan Star, but she didn't care about the life or death of such a small star. The only thing that mattered to her was Nangong Yanyue.

Ever since the last time she was in the Void Realm, she had a feeling that Nangong Yanyue was hiding something from her.

Besides fighting the Void Spirit Clan, she also wanted to find Nangong Yanyue to ask about Tuosen. (End of Chapter)
