Double penetration, starting from being a trader

In a starry sky.

There are thousands of Xingfengmen space carriers lined up here.

These motherships were filled with cultivators from Canglan Star and soldiers from Xingfeng Sect.

Some of these people were receiving treatment, while others were repairing damage to the mothership.

Not far from these fleets was a vortex of starlight.

From a distance, one can see that the fleet has surrounded this cosmic vortex in a cohesive manner.

Since the conflict with the Yin Corpse Sect two years ago, the Yin Corpse Sect has been sending people to attack.

Almost every one or two months, a major battle would break out between the two sides.

Because of the frequent wars, Liu Qian personally led the high-ranking members of Xingfeng Sect here to defend against the Yin Corpse Sect's attack.

Liu Qian's plan was simple: to stall the Yin Corpse Sect.

Keep Canglan Star as far away from this starry sky as possible.

Since arriving in this star system, the original plan to shut down the planetary engines has been abandoned. Instead, the engine power has been increased to move further away from this star system.

As for actively invading the Underworld Continent where the Yin Corpse Sect is located, Xingfeng Sect has never had such an idea.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great; the Void Refinement Realm cultivator of the Yin Corpse Sect alone was beyond their ability to deal with.

Not to mention, the Yin Corpse Sect can mobilize all forces on the Underworld Continent, and their numbers far exceed those of the other sects.

Mothership, in the command center.

Liu Qian and several high-ranking members of Xingfeng Sect, as well as Nascent Soul cultivators, gathered in the conference room.

They hold these meetings almost every so often.

The faces of the Nascent Soul cultivators at the meeting were not good. They had been fighting against the Yin Corpse Sect for many years, and some of them had even continued to fight before their injuries had fully healed.

Liu Qian looked at everyone and said:

"According to our recent intelligence, the Yin Corpse Sect's next attack is coming soon, probably within the next few days."

Nangong Wentian's face darkened:
"So fast? It's only been half a month since the last attack."

Half a month ago, they had just fought a battle with the army of cultivators sent by the Yin Corpse Sect. The two sides fought for several days and both suffered losses.

Liu Qian said in a deep voice:

“This time it’s different. The Yin Corpse Sect has joined forces with a force called Thunder Palace on Thunder Continent. This time, the two forces are acting together. They intend to eliminate us completely.”

"And there's a real possibility that a Void Refinement cultivator will make a move this time?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened.

They have learned a lot about the Dinghai Star Region in the past two years.

The reason why the Yin Corpse Sect has been targeting them is because the Dinghai Star Region is currently eliminating all foreign forces.

It seems to be related to the opening of a secret realm.

Moreover, it wasn't just Canglan Star that appeared in the Dinghai Star Region; forces from other star regions also appeared.

Previously, Thunder Continent was resisting another wave of star field forces. Now, it has suddenly joined forces with the Yin Corpse Sect to deal with them. Obviously, either the extraterritorial forces of Thunder Continent have been eliminated, or those forces have successfully entered the Central Star Sea.

Everyone felt helpless. The forces from other star regions came to Dinghai Star Region to compete for the so-called Immortal Realm Secret Realm, and they took the initiative to come to Dinghai Star Region, but they, Canglan Star, were inexplicably teleported here.

They were essentially forced into this conflict.

Yun Qingjue asked:

"Manager Liu, how many more times can we use this method to deal with Void Refinement cultivators?"

Everyone looked at Liu Qian. They had no way to deal with the Void Refinement Realm cultivators; only the antimatter weapons of the Xingfeng Sect would be effective.

Previously, it was Xingfengmen who used this weapon to force Lianxu to retreat.

Liu Qian shook his head:

"We still have trump cards, but this time we definitely won't send out just one Void Refinement cultivator."

Although Xingfengmen's antimatter weapons are powerful, their use is limited. The first one is the Guixu Stone, an antimatter weapon that can only be used within a certain distance.

Moreover, it's very difficult to hit someone at the Void Refinement stage.

Although the Eye of Annihilation poses a great threat to cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, this weapon can only restrain one Void Refinement cultivator; it won't work against several.

Previously, the Void Refining expert from the Yin Corpse Sect had only made a test, and had not used his full strength to deal with them.

Now that the extraterrestrial forces on the Thunder Continent have been dealt with, the next step is to focus all efforts on dealing with them.

Xuan Yao, the master of Tianji Tower, said from the side:
"For now, let's retreat to Canglan Star. Relying on its planetary defense system, we might be able to hold them off for a while."

Before Xuan Yao could finish speaking, Jiang Bohan shook his head and said:

“It’s no use holding out. We absolutely cannot let the battlefield be drawn to Canglan Star. Once a Void Refinement level expert attacks our cultivation star, we will have nothing to stop them.”

Jiang Bohan is now a Nascent Soul cultivator, and given his years of experience overseeing Wangyue City, he is now in charge of commanding a portion of the fleet.

"Manager Liu, the situation is urgent. If you can contact Sect Master Chen, please ask him to come out of seclusion."

Yun Qingjue looked at Liu Qian, and the others looked at him as well.

If it weren't for Chen Feng from Xingfeng Sect, their morale would have been completely shattered long ago.

Seeing the gazes directed at him, Liu Qian hesitated.

He does indeed want to contact Chen Feng now. He currently carries a wisp of Chen Feng's primordial spirit imprint on him. As long as he extinguishes the imprint, Chen Feng will definitely sense it and then emerge from seclusion.

Just then, the communicator that Liu Qian had placed on the table suddenly made a sound.

"Sir, a magic ship has approached our fleet. The ship claims to be from the Fireburning Star Region and wants to talk to us."

The voice from the communicator was heard not only by Liu Qian, but by everyone present.

In the past two years, they have captured many cultivators from the Yin Corpse Sect, and naturally learned a lot of information that they did not know before, such as the names of several surrounding star regions.

The Fire Brahma Starfield is one of the surrounding starfields.

The fact that the person sent someone to visit them was quite unexpected.

Yun Qingjue said:

"I'm afraid these people from the Fiery Starfield are also planning to enter the Sea-Stabilizing Starfield to compete for that so-called Immortal Realm Secret Realm. But why are they coming after us?"

Liu Qian stood up: "We'll know once we see it. Pass the word down and have the fleet prepare for action."

The Xingfengmen Fleet, thousands of miles away in the starry sky.

A huge, red French ship is quietly docked here.

This magic ship is over ten thousand meters long, with different array lights flowing on it, like a large fortress floating in the starry sky.

On this Dharma ship, there were nearly a thousand cultivators, all with uniformly fiery red hair and burly builds.

These monks also had special totem markings on their faces.

At the very top of the Dharma ship, three cultivators stood, all of whom possessed the cultivation level of Nascent Soul.

One of the burly, one-eyed men asked the person next to him:
"Senior Brother Qin, is this Xingfeng Sect really as powerful as you say?"

The effeminate man, addressed as Senior Brother Qin, nodded:
"This force is indeed extraordinary. They have been fighting the Yin Corpse Sect here for two years. The Lord's intention is for us to bring this force with us into the Central Star Sea."

The woman among the three scoffed, "Is that necessary? With our strength, we don't need to be with the Xingfeng Sect to enter the Central Star Sea. A mere Yinshi Sect beat them up like this."

The woman had delicate, fair skin and a slender figure, and her words were full of contempt.

The man surnamed Qin said with a smile, "Junior Sister Hong, we are not bringing this Xingfeng Sect for free. The Lord is very interested in one of the sect's spiritual treasures, and by bringing them along, we can reduce a lot of our losses."

Upon hearing this, the woman surnamed Hong immediately understood what was going on.

This is clearly an attempt to use Xingfengmen as cannon fodder to pave the way for their Huofan Star Domain.

The cultivator surnamed Qin continued:

"The Venerable Lord has already seen that Xingfeng Sect does not have any Void Refinement cultivators in charge. They only managed to hold off the Void Refinement cultivators of Yinshi Sect because of that rare treasure. Now that Yinshi Sect has joined forces with Lei Palace, the only way out for Xingfeng Sect is to cooperate with us."

No sooner had the cultivator surnamed Qin finished speaking than a mothership flew over from a distance.

The mothership docked not far from the red magic ship, and several streaks of light flew out of the mothership; it was Liu Qian and his group.

"The main character has arrived!" The cultivator surnamed Qin smiled faintly, and the three of them flew out of the red magic ship.

The group soon found themselves gazing at each other across the starry sky.

There were five Nascent Soul cultivators around Liu Qian, and at this moment all five of them were sizing up the three cultivators surnamed Qin.

Soon, Yun Qingjue and the others became serious.

Because the three opponents were all cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and they also possessed the aura of laws.

Very few people can master the laws at the Nascent Soul stage; on Canglan Star, only Yun Qingjue has mastered the laws.

But all three of them had it.

The cultivator surnamed Qin was also observing Liu Qian and his companions, but the three of them only scanned them with their divine senses and didn't pay much attention.

Although the opposing side had more Nascent Soul cultivators than them, with the three of them at the peak of Nascent Soul stage and their mastery of the laws, they could easily crush ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

The only one that piqued the curiosity of the three was Liu Qian. Their divine senses swept over him, but they couldn't sense any fluctuations in his aura at all; he seemed more like a puppet.

But the three of them were only curious and did not show too much surprise.

The universe is so vast, teeming with countless races, and containing all sorts of strange and wonderful things.

The cultivator surnamed Qin said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Qin Ming from the Crimson Sky Sect of the Fire Burning Star Domain, and this is my junior sister Hong Xing'er and my junior brother Yan Shan."

Liu Qian didn't speak, so Jiang Bohan, who was standing next to him, spoke on Liu Qian's behalf and gave an introduction.

After the introductions, Jiang Bohan asked, "May I ask what business you fellow Daoists have with us?"

Qin Ming said solemnly, "I have heard that your sect is currently engaged in battle with the Yin Corpse Sect. I suppose you are also preparing to go to the Central Star Sea to compete for the Immortal Realm Secret Realm. Our Fire Brahma Star Domain shares the same goal as you all."

"Since we have a common enemy, why don't we unite?"

Qin Ming's words surprised Liu Qian and the others. They clearly did not expect that this person from the Fire Brahma Star Region would come to seek cooperation with them.

Jiang Bohan glanced at Liu Qian, who immediately spoke:
"How would you like to cooperate?"

Hong Xing'er, who was standing next to her, immediately laughed: "Cooperation? When did we ever talk about cooperation? With your strength, it's impossible for you to cross the edge of the Dinghai Star Region to reach the Central Star Sea. Although we can take you with us, you must agree to our conditions."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingjue and the others looked rather displeased, as the other party's condescending tone made them very unhappy.

Hong Xing'er, however, disagreed and continued speaking:
“Our Lord is very interested in your treasure that can deal with Void Refinement Realm cultivators. If you hand it over, we will allow you to join our ranks.”

Upon hearing the other party's words, Yun Qingjue and the others immediately understood that the other party had come for antimatter weapons.

Liu Qian shook his head:

"Sorry, we cannot agree to this condition."

Liu Qian refused outright. What a joke! The antimatter weapon is Xingfengmen's biggest trump card; how could they possibly hand it over to someone else?

Moreover, Canglan Star never even tried to compete for that so-called Immortal Realm Secret Realm.

Upon hearing Liu Qian's direct refusal, the man named Yan Shan said coldly:

"You should think this through carefully. The Yin Corpse Sect and the Thunder Palace have joined forces, and their people are already on their way. Without the help of our Fire Brahma Star Region, you simply cannot stop them with your strength."

Qin Ming also smiled and echoed:

"Treasures are important, but life is only once."

Liu Qian didn't bother to pay attention to them at all, and instead said to Yun Qingjue and Jiang Bohan, "Let's go back."

Jiang Bohan and Yun Qingjue nodded and immediately prepared to take Liu Qian back.

Both of them understood that although they were indeed in a predicament, handing over the antimatter weapon was clearly impossible.

Just as the group was about to leave, Hong Xing'er blocked their way.

Upon seeing Hong Xing'er blocking his way, Yun Qingjue frowned and asked, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

Myolie Hong raised an eyebrow and said:
"My Fire Brahma Star Domain is willing to protect you on your journey to the Central Star Sea because of your considerable strength. Don't push your luck!"

Hung Ho-yee really didn't expect the other party to refuse.

If they fail to accomplish this task, how will they explain it to the Lord when they return?

At this moment, she was already planning to snatch it.

In any case, according to the intelligence we have, there are no Void Refinement cultivators in this Xingfeng Sect.

With their combined strength and the array on the magic ship, it wouldn't be difficult for them to leave a few people behind.

Qin Ming and Yan Shan, who were standing nearby, did not stop them. They both went their separate ways, blocking Liu Qian and the others' path.

Yun Qingjue said with a grim expression:
Are the three of you planning to force a sale?

"Hmph, if you think so, fine. We don't mind buying your treasure!" Hong Xing'er's gaze was fixed on Liu Qian.

She had long since realized that this puppet-like person was in charge among them.

Once we capture this person, everything will be much easier.

Yun Qingjue transmitted her voice to Jiang Bohan:
"Take Steward Liu with you first, and we'll hold them off."

Yun Qingjue wasn't worried about anything. They were just three Nascent Soul cultivators. As long as they kept their distance, they could deal with them using ranged weapons.

But as soon as Yun Qingjue finished transmitting his voice, she saw a scene that shocked her.

Behind Hong Xing'er, a young man in white was standing.

Hong Xing'er, however, continued to look at them with a mocking gaze, completely unaware that someone was behind her.

"Junior Sister Hong, be careful!" Qin Ming, who was in the distance, had obviously seen the woman in white and the woman in green and immediately called out to warn her.

Hong Xing'er's smile froze instantly. She immediately circulated her spiritual energy and struck out with her palm behind her!
Bah!
Hong Xing'er's palm strike was incredibly powerful; as soon as it was unleashed, countless cracks appeared in the surrounding space.

The surrounding energy also became violent.

However, Hung Ho-yee felt as if she had struck an iron wall with her palm, and the enormous recoil caused her hand bones to break!
At this moment, Hung Ho-er also got a clear look at the person in front of her.

This was a handsome man with calm eyes, looking at her as if she were an ant.

"You," Hong Xing'er was about to speak.

However, a fair hand was already placed on her head. The hand moved very slowly, but when her protective aura touched the hand, it melted away instantly, like snow meeting boiling oil.

Immediately afterwards, Hung Ho-yee felt an irresistible force coming from the top of her head.

She tried to mobilize her spiritual power to resist, but the spiritual power within her body became dormant. Not only that, even her primordial spirit was suppressed by a pressure and unable to move.

Click!

Press down with your fair palm!
Hong Xing'er's head was forcefully pressed into her chest cavity by this hand. (End of this chapter)
