Double penetration, starting from being a trader

Not only Lu Linyuan, but the others beside him were also looking forward to Liu Qian's answer.

For the past month, they have been waiting for news from Chen Feng.

The other party was going to stop a Void Refinement cultivator; one can imagine how dangerous that was.

If Chen Feng were to die outside, it would be a disaster for the entire Canglan Star.

Unbeknownst to them, Lu Linyuan and the others had come to regard Chen Feng as their backbone.

Liu Qian looked at the group and said:

"According to the message from the sect leader, he successfully delayed that Void Refinement Old Monster for half a month, and then used his methods to escape."

"However, the Star Palace has issued an arrest warrant for the sect leader and is currently offering a reward for his capture throughout the entire star field."

Liu Qian recounted the information he had received.

Lu Linyuan and the others were momentarily stunned by Liu Qian's words.

First, Chen Feng held off the Void Refinement cultivators for half a month, and then he was wanted by the Star Palace. Both of these events brought them great shock.

Although they had great faith in Chen Feng's strength, the fact that he managed to hold off a Void Refinement cultivator for a full half-month and escape unscathed was truly terrifying.

In their minds, even if Chen Feng escaped, he would definitely have to pay a heavy price.

But judging from Liu Qian's description, it seemed as if holding off a Void Refiner for half a month was an easy thing.

Yun Qingjue asked:

How did Sect Master Chen manage to hold off Venerable Ice Soul?

Yun Qingjue was genuinely curious. That was a Void Refinement cultivator! If it were her, she would probably be defeated after just one round.

Lu Linyuan said, "Let's not worry about that for now. Why would the Star Palace issue a warrant for his arrest? And how did he get to the central region of the Weiyang Starfield?"

Lu Linyuan reacted the fastest, immediately realizing the seriousness of the problem.

Wanted by the Star Palace and located in the central region of the Weiyang Starfield, he was practically surrounded by enemies.

That's the Star Palace, the most powerful force in the Star Domain, with countless Void Refinement Realm experts.

Moreover, it can mobilize other forces in the star field.

As for why Xinggong had issued a warrant for Chen Feng's arrest, no one asked. Since the warrant had already been issued, there was no point in discussing it further.

Liu Qian shook his head:

"I don't know. The sect leader didn't say. He just told us to be on guard. The Star Palace is probably looking for us too."

Liu Qian was also worried about Chen Feng, but he knew that the chances of them being able to help him in the current situation were slim.

On the contrary, if they send people to help Chen Feng, they will only hinder him.

The people in the room had calmed down, and You Luan spoke with a solemn expression;

"If it really is a Void Refinement Old Monster coming to find us, Canglan Star will be exposed as long as it is within the other party's divine sense."

They didn't know how large the range of a Void Refinement cultivator's divine sense was, but it was definitely dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Escaping the other party's spiritual sense is no easy task.

Liu Qian looked at the group and said:

"Seniors, our Xingfeng Sect has a formation called the Star Concealment Formation. This formation has an extremely strong concealment effect. Even a Void Refinement expert can only detect this formation at close range."

"The sect leader's idea is that the seniors should integrate this formation into the Star Protection Formation, thereby concealing Canglan Star."

Upon hearing this, Lu Linyuan immediately sensed something was amiss: "Star Concealment Array? Could it be an array that can only be activated using stellar energy?"

Liu Qian nodded: "That's right. This formation needs the injection of stellar energy to operate, so we need to draw on the stellar energy of Canglan Star, and this formation also needs to be modified."

Liu Qian called them over to discuss this matter.

The Star Concealment Array is a formation developed by Yin Yin, but this formation can only be used to conceal the space-based weapons and satellites of the Xingfeng Sect.

To completely conceal the entire Canglan Star, the only option is to modify this array and integrate it into the Star Protection Array, which is beyond the capabilities of the Xingfeng Sect.

Liu Qian's words made everyone's expressions turn serious.

Integrating the modified formation into the Star Guardian Formation was not a difficult task for them; they could mobilize formation masters at any time to complete the modification.

But the key point is that this Star Concealment Array requires stellar energy to activate.

And it's not just a little bit of stellar energy, but a large amount of stellar energy.

The result of rashly activating a large amount of stellar energy is being targeted by a heavenly tribulation, and the danger involved is unimaginable.

Liu Qian added:

"We don't need to hide for too long, at most half a month, until the sect leader returns."

After Liu Qian finished speaking, he quietly looked at the group of people, which was also the reason why he had called them over.

Ordinary cultivators cannot withstand the tribulation that follows the attraction of stellar energy.

Lu Linyuan laughed and said:
"Everyone! Sect Leader Chen has risked his life for us outside. If we don't even dare to do this little thing, then is there any need to defend Canglan Star?"

"Besides, we are only introducing the stellar energy into the great formation, not absorbing it ourselves. Even if the heavenly tribulation descends, its power will not be too great. With our strength, we can withstand it for half a month!"

Lu Linyuan said it lightly, but everyone knew the risks involved.

Yun Qingjue nodded: "Alliance Leader Lu is right, we really should do something."

The others remained silent, but clearly agreed with the decision.

Gathering all the Nascent Soul cultivators on Canglan Star to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation for half a month is risky, but it's worth taking.

"Alright, then I will immediately summon the array masters to modify the array. Fellow Daoists, please come with me to the headquarters of the Cultivation Alliance."

Lu Linyuan didn't waste any more words and immediately took out a satellite phone to contact the people of the Cultivation Alliance and ask them to gather the array masters.

After giving his instructions, Lu Linyuan looked at Liu Qian and said:

"Manager Liu, we'll take our leave now. Please let me know immediately if there's any news about Sect Master Chen."

Liu Qian nodded: "Please take care, seniors."

Without lingering any longer, the group immediately transformed into streaks of light and left Xingfeng Gate.

After the others left, Zhengjiao went to the inner cabinet.

Liu Qian looked at Zheng Jiao and said, "Senior."

Before Liu Qian could speak, Zheng Jiao said, "I will go and face the heavenly tribulation with them. I will leave the affairs of the sect to you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian's face showed surprise.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Zheng Jiao to be so proactive, which was completely different from his impression of Zheng Jiao.

This guy is usually lazy, and only Chen Feng can order him around.

Seeing Liu Qian's expression, Zheng Jiao immediately said with dissatisfaction:
"What do you mean by that expression? Are you looking down on me?"

Liu Qian shook his head, then said with a complicated expression:

"That's not what I meant. Please go ahead, senior. I'll take care of things inside the sect, so you can rest assured."

Zhengjiao glared at Liu Qian, then left.

Zheng Jiao knew very well that the safety of the entire Canglan Star was at stake, and if he continued to slack off, he would only be waiting to die.

Having been in Xingfengmen for so long, it would be a lie to say I have no feelings for them.

If Xingfeng Sect is gone, how will he hear those people inside the sect flattering him in the future?

Nanyang Star, outside the Star-Protecting Array.

One after another, Buddhist ships were flying towards Nanyang Star from all directions.

In one of the oddly shaped French ships, Chen Feng was standing on the deck looking ahead.

After half a day's journey, he finally arrived near Nanyang Star.

This red planet is much larger than Canglan Star, and the spiritual energy emanating from it is many times more concentrated.

Not far ahead is Nangong Yang's protective star array. At this moment, cultivators entering the star need to queue up to pass through.

The protective array only opened one gap, and several cultivators from the Nanyang Sect guarded the entrance to the array.

"If we just barge in, we'll definitely attract the attention of the Void Refinement Elder." Chen Feng pondered how to enter Nanyang Star without being discovered by the Nanyang Sect.

Although he changed his appearance, he had no status in the Weiyang Star Region.

Just as Chen Feng was pondering, a divine sense suddenly spread over from a distance.

Seeing this, Chen Feng did not try to stop it, but let the thing approach him.

A laugh echoed within my consciousness;
"Fellow Daoist, I am Mo Youqian. May I come and have a chat with you?"

Chen Feng glanced at it and saw that the divine sense came from a giant magic ship not far from him.

This giant Dharma ship is extremely luxuriously decorated, inlaid with various precious stones, and surrounded by various streams of light.

In terms of sheer grandeur, this French ship is far superior to the others.

Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, then put away the space carrier and transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the magic ship.

The luxurious French ship opened its light screen as Chen Feng approached.

Upon entering the French ship, Chen Feng was astonished by the scene before him.

On the deck of the Dharma ship, there were all sorts of cultivators, ranging from high to low cultivation levels.

He even saw five people who had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

These people were chatting and laughing, and on the high platform in the center, a dozen voluptuous women were dancing gracefully.

Just then, a fat man wearing a magnificent crown and a purple-gold robe walked up to Chen Feng, cupped his hands, and said:
"Fellow Daoist, I am Mo Youqian from Linglong Pavilion. Are you also here to attend the Marquis of Nanyang's birthday banquet?"

Hearing this, Chen Feng was puzzled as to who this Marquis of Nanyang was, but he still nodded.

Mo Youqian laughed heartily:
“That’s perfect. All the fellow Daoists on this ship are going to attend the birthday banquet of the Marquis of Nanyang together with me. Why don’t you come with us?”

Chen Feng carefully examined Mo Youqian; the other party's cultivation level was also at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

However, what caught his attention was that the fat man was accompanied by two old men, both of whom were Nascent Soul cultivators.

He had never heard of the Linglong Pavilion before.

However, he didn't ask any more questions, because the more he talked, the more he would reveal.

"Since Fellow Daoist Mo has extended such a warm invitation, how could I possibly refuse?"

He was already worried about how to get into Nanyang Star, so it was perfect that someone was taking the initiative to lead the way.

"I still don't know your name, my friend?" Mo Youqian asked with a beaming smile.

Chen Feng spoke up: "Wang Hu."

"So it's Fellow Daoist Wang. May I ask which faction Fellow Daoist Wang comes from?" Mo Youqian asked politely.

"A rogue cultivator."

Upon hearing that he was a rogue cultivator, Mo Youqian's smile widened even further.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, to reach the late Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years as a rogue cultivator is truly a gift from heaven! I admire you."

Chen Feng wasn't surprised by Mo Youqian's words.

Bone age can be observed with the help of certain magical artifacts and treasures, and Chen Feng did not hide this fact.

"Fellow Daoist, please rest in the pavilion first. I will come back to discuss things with you in detail later." Mo Youqian's gaze turned to the cultivators who had just arrived at the Dharma ship in the distance.

It's obvious they're preparing to receive someone.

Chen Feng could tell that the other party had something to do, so he nodded and said:

"Fellow Daoist Mo, please go ahead with your business. You don't need to worry about me."

After saying that, Chen Feng went alone to the pavilion above the Dharma ship.

As Mo Youqian watched Chen Feng's departing figure, the smile on his face slowly faded. The old man beside him asked:
"Young Master, do you intend to win this person over?"

Mo Youqian nodded:
"This person has reached the late Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years. With such talent, he has a great chance of becoming a Deity Transformation cultivator in the future. Moreover, he is a rogue cultivator. Isn't he worth recruiting?"

The old man nodded: "Young Master's insight is brilliant."

Mo Youqian didn't say anything more, and then greeted the approaching cultivator with a big smile.

The French ship's attic is also very luxurious.

After entering, Chen Feng found a seat and sat down.

After a brief conversation with a fellow cultivator, he learned about Mo Youqian's identity.

The other party was the young master of the Linglong Pavilion in the Weiyang Star Region.

This Linglong Pavilion is one of the major merchant guilds in the Weiyang Star Region, and it is somewhat similar to the Immortal Treasure Merchant Guild.

As the young master of Linglong Pavilion, Mo Youqian usually likes to make friends with cultivators from various cultivation stars, and can be considered a good socialist.

Moreover, he particularly enjoys befriending young talents and independent cultivators.

He has connections with various big stars.

The people on this Dharma boat were all invited by Mo Youqian.

As for the Marquis of Nanyang, he is an elder of Nanyang Star with the cultivation of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. This time, he is the one holding the banquet to celebrate his six thousandth birthday.

Even in the Weiyang Starfield, cultivators who have reached the Void Refinement stage rarely appear before the world.

A cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage is already a top-tier existence.

When such a cultivator holds a birthday banquet, many cultivators from other cultivation stars will come to offer their congratulations.

In the central star region of the Weiyang Starfield, the major cultivation stars travel frequently to and fro, and the inter-star teleportation array greatly shortens the distance between them.

This is completely different from the situation on Canglan Star.

Chen Feng asked a cultivator beside him:
"Fellow Daoist Shi, I would like to borrow the inter-star teleportation array of Nanyang Star. May I ask what I need to offer in return?"

Chen Feng did not want to stay in the central region of the star field for long, as there were far too many Void Refinement Realm experts there.

He wanted to go to Xuanxiao Star first, since Ye Yuting and the others were there.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, the Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Shi shook his head and smiled.
“If it were a few days ago, Fellow Daoist Wang would have had no problem using the teleportation array, but recently it has become somewhat difficult.”

During their previous conversation, this cultivator surnamed Shi already knew Chen Feng's identity as a rogue cultivator.

Moreover, he was a reclusive cultivator who rarely ventured out of seclusion, so he wasn't surprised when Chen Feng inquired about the teleportation array.

Chen Feng asked, "Why?"

"Fellow Daoist should know Chen Beijin, who is quite famous recently. The Star Palace has put a bounty on him for three drops of Creation Spirit Liquid. Even a Void Refinement expert would be tempted by such a treasure."

The cultivator surnamed Shi showed a look of longing on his face.

"That's why many of the teleportation arrays on major stars are no longer open. Nanyang Star is still open because of the Marquis of Nanyang's birthday banquet, but to use the teleportation array, you need to have a certain status. Ordinary rogue cultivators like you, even if you have spirit stones, will not be able to use them."

Hearing this, Chen Feng's heart sank.

I underestimated the Star Palace's bounty. In just a few days, they've already shut down the teleportation arrays of all the major cultivation stars.

Therefore, if he wants to return to Xuanxiao Star from here, he can only use the spatial rift within the star field.

But one thing is certain: there are powerful figures from the Star Palace guarding the spatial rift within the star field.

At this moment, the cultivator surnamed Shi changed the subject: "If you are truly willing to borrow the teleportation array at any cost, then there is naturally a way. I heard that Linglong Pavilion is preparing to hold an auction on Nanyang Star, and it seems that there are slots for teleportation arrays among them."

"However, these are extraordinary times, and prices will definitely be much higher than before."

Chen Feng clasped his hands in thanks to the cultivator surnamed Shi: "Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist."

Chen Feng had originally decided to go directly to the spatial rift, but since there was a way to use the teleportation array, he didn't mind giving it a try.

Forcing one's way through a spatial rift is far too risky.

The cultivator surnamed Shi wanted to say something more, but at that moment, the Dharma ship that was sailing suddenly stopped.

A series of pressures at the Nascent Soul level swept towards the magic ship.

Upon feeling the immense pressure from so many Nascent Soul cultivators, everyone present changed their expressions.

Only cultivators from the Nanyang Sect could unleash their Nascent Soul stage power so freely here.

In an instant, many people rushed to the deck of the French ship.

Chen Feng also followed the crowd towards the deck of the French ship. (End of Chapter)
