Double penetration, starting from being a trader

After finalizing their plans, Yun Qingjue and Jiang Bohan took their leave.

After watching the two leave, Liu Qian prepared to take out his phone again to watch the battle situation at the front.

But just then, a voice suddenly rang out in the room:
"Xiao Ganzi!"

Liu Qian immediately looked up and saw a ferocious creature covered in scales walk in from outside the hall, with an eyeball lying on its back.

Upon seeing that it was Zheng Jiao, Liu Qian immediately showed a look of surprise and delight:

"Senior, you've finally arrived!"

Now is a time when Xingfengmen desperately needs strong individuals.

Zhengjiao has broken through to the Void Refinement stage, which is very useful on the battlefield.

Xingfengmen has everything but lacks high-end combat power.

Zhengjiao said, "I rushed over immediately after receiving your request for help."

Zheng Jiao was originally cultivating, but a few days ago Liu Qian sent a message to the Xingfeng Sect headquarters, so Zheng Jiao rushed over.

Liu Qian thought for a moment and then said:
"Now that you've arrived, senior, please go to the second line of defense and stop those Void Refinement cultivators who have broken through the line."

Cultivators at the Void Refinement stage are already top-tier combatants; even nuclear bombs are unlikely to kill such powerful beings, so only planet-destroying cannons and antimatter weapons can be used.

However, neither the planet-destroying cannon nor the antimatter weapon could possibly stop all the cultivators at the Void Refinement stage.

Therefore, someone is needed to cooperate.

After hearing Liu Qian's words, Zheng Jiao shook his head:
"No, I'm not going. If I'm going to go, I'll go to the front lines!"

His purpose in coming here this time was not only to help Liu Qian repel the enemy, but also to devour cultivators.

The best way for him to increase his strength now is to devour living beings; the stronger the living being, the greater the boost to his power.

He certainly couldn't hide in the back to intercept the Void Refinement cultivators; he was going to the front lines.

When Liu Qian saw that Zheng Jiao was going to the front line, he immediately advised, "Senior, the front line is too dangerous. You should stay in the rear to block those Void Refinement cultivators who cross the defense line. It will be safer that way."

Zhengjiao curled his lip in disdain, then pointed to the eyeball on his back:
Do you know who he is?

Eyeballs hadn't spoken since they came in, because a tablet computer was floating in front of them.

Right now, I'm looking at the content on my tablet and grinning like an idiot.

Liu Qian examined the eyeball for a while: "This is the eyeball that was with Yin Yin?"

Liu Qian had met Yin Yin some time ago, so he naturally recognized Xiao Tong.

“His name is Xiao Tong, a being at the Dao Integration level. Do you still think something bad will happen to him?” Zheng Jiao said smugly.

Zhengjiao was so proud because Xiaotong had gotten along very well with him during this time.

Especially after he instilled these ideas in her through novels and various forms of modern entertainment, Xiaotong is now his best friend.

Having befriended a being at the Dao Integration level, Zheng Jiao naturally had no worries about his safety.

"A being at the Dao Integration level??" Liu Qian immediately showed a look of shock.

Chen Feng had only told him before that if he encountered a crisis that he couldn't resolve, he could go to Yin Yin.

Therefore, Liu Qian was unaware of Xiao Tong's strength.

Zhengjiao said:

"Alright, since you have no objections, let's head to the front lines first. I don't want to waste any more time."

After saying that, Zhengjiao transformed into a streak of black light and disappeared into the hall.

It wasn't until Zheng Jiao left that Liu Qian recovered from his shock, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

He had initially worried that the Sea Fork Clan would send someone who was at the half-step Dao Integration stage or a true Dao Integration stage.

But now that Xiaotong is here, he doesn't need to worry about anything.

In the cold, starry sky.

A small fleet of French ships is rapidly advancing through this part of the starry sky.

This fleet of French ships consisted of more than thirty French vessels.

Each of the Dharma ships was as fast as a cultivator at the Refinement Void Realm.

Inside the central Dharma boat sat six people, all of whom had reached the half-step Dao Integration level.

"Fellow Daoist Li, our clan elder has already said that you will be in charge of this surprise attack. Tell me what we should do next."

The speaker was an elder of the Sea Chariot tribe.

The person sitting opposite him was Li Songxuan.

Li Songxuan smiled and said, "What else can we do? If I'm not mistaken, Xingfeng Sect has definitely discovered us, and their attack will be here soon."

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Sea Fork tribe asked in confusion, "Then why do you want so many magic ships to move together? Isn't this just increasing the risk of exposure?"

Li Songxuan said without changing his expression:
"These Dharma ships are merely a means to deceive the Xingfeng Sect. Please take a look at this."

Li Songxuan took out a golden bead from his person. The bead was golden all over and had runes flowing on it.

"A Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure? No, it's a Quasi-Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!" someone immediately recognized.

Li Songxuan explained;
"This is a mustard seed pearl, which contains its own small space. As long as we enter this space later, we can avoid the detection of the Wind Flowing Gate."

Mustard Seed Pearl is a special spiritual treasure and does not require combat abilities.

The inside of the pearl is described as a small space, which even living things can enter.

Moreover, mustard seed beads also have the function of purifying vital energy, which can purify the vital energy of heaven and earth from the outside world into the beads.

This also makes the spiritual energy inside the mustard seed pearl several times higher than that outside, which greatly assists in comprehending the laws.

It can be considered a support-type magical artifact.

Moreover, the Mustard Seed Pearl is excellent in defense and concealment, able to block all divine sense detection and even hide spatial fluctuations.

Therefore, Li Songxuan has been cultivating inside the Mustard Seed Pearl for the past few years.

"Fellow Daoist Li actually possesses such a fine item! With this, Xingfeng Sect will definitely be unable to detect us!" Yuan Qingzi exclaimed joyfully from the side.

These six people were naturally the same six who had followed Li Songxuan to the Underworld Continent a month ago.

They had actually started this a month ago.

However, before they even got close to the Underworld Continent, they were discovered by the Xingfeng Sect and then attacked by them.

With their strength, they naturally had no reason to fear Xingfeng Sect.

However, Xingfeng Sect possesses an extremely powerful treasure, the nature of which they still do not know.

At that time, all they saw was a black ray piercing through the starry sky.

That black ray was incredibly fast; it killed more than a dozen of their Void Refinement cultivators in a single strike!

If they hadn't used their divine powers, they probably would have been injured as well.

The group then attempted to enter the Underworld Continent from other directions.

But the result was still the same: as soon as they got close to the Mingzhou Continent, they would be discovered by the Xingfeng Sect.

Finally, they came to the conclusion that Xingfengmen had special means to discover their location in the starry sky.

Of course, those black rays alone are not enough to stump them.

With their combined strength at the half-step Dao Integration stage, they could have entered the Underworld Continent even if they withstood the attack of the black ray.

However, at that time, a change occurred among the Sea Fork tribe.

The extraterrestrial demon suddenly reached a cooperation agreement with two Dao Integration Realm cultivators from the Sea Fork Clan.

The Sea Fork tribe then sent a large army to provide support.

Upon learning this news, Li Songxuan abandoned the operation and chose to send the Sea Chariot tribe to scout ahead.

Li Songxuan wasn't stupid. The fact that Chen Feng was so highly regarded by the extraterrestrial demons, coupled with the black ray he had encountered before, was enough to show that Xingfeng Sect was no ordinary sect.

Now that the Sea Fork Clan has gotten involved, he can use them to test the strength of the Wind Path Sect.

He had only delayed for a short time when the extraterrestrial demons became impatient.

Just a few days ago, the extraterrestrial demons contacted him, ordering him to bring people back immediately to capture Chen Feng.

Left with no other choice, Li Songxuan had to take action with his men.

"Although we can get through the Xingfeng Gate's defenses, Chen Beijing is no simple man. Please don't hold back then," Li Songxuan instructed the group.

Yuan Qingzi smiled and said:
"Of course, we dare not shirk our responsibilities when it comes to the Demon Lord's affairs."

Just then, Li Songxuan seemed to sense something, and he immediately looked to his right:

"coming!"

Even without Li Songxuan's reminder, the people present immediately noticed the situation using their spiritual senses.

In the distance, countless nuclear missiles were seen firing at them from the starry sky.

These missiles were incredibly fast, and they landed in extremely tricky locations, precisely where their French fleet was about to pass.

At this point, they couldn't even change direction, because there wasn't enough time.

"Fellow Daoists, please enter the Mustard Seed Pearl immediately!" Li Songxuan immediately activated the Mustard Seed Pearl.

Without hesitation, the group transformed into streaks of light and entered the mustard seed pearl.

It was almost as soon as the group entered the Mustard Seed Bead.

A dense swarm of nuclear missiles then descended.

Boom boom boom!
Brilliant fireballs lit up the starry sky.

Everything within tens of thousands of kilometers was engulfed by the shockwave of the nuclear explosion!
This nuclear strike came from a war fortress on the third line of defense, launching a total of thousands of nuclear missiles with a yield of one million kilotons.

Although Li Songxuan and his group's magic ships were of very high grade, they only lasted a short while before being melted into molten metal under the attack of so many nuclear bombs.

Liquid metal splattered across the starry sky like frightened fireflies.

Nuclear explosions come quickly and go quickly.

In just a moment, the starry sky became lifeless again, and the starry sky turned dark once more.

All that remains in the area are fragments of French ships.

Inside the mustard seed pearl.

Li Songxuan and others appeared in a simple hall.

Yuan Qingzi exclaimed in admiration:
"Fellow Daoist Li's treasure is truly extraordinary. The spiritual energy inside is more than three times that of the outside world. No wonder Fellow Daoist Li was able to reach the half-step Dao Integration stage in such a short time."

The Sea Fork Clan member, who was at the half-step Dao Integration stage, suddenly spoke up:

"I feel like I've heard of this treasure before. I remember there was a storage treasure in Weiyang Heaven back then. Could this be it?"

Yuan Qingzi was stunned:
"This treasure actually belongs to Senior Wei. No wonder it's so extraordinary!"

The name Weiyangtian was not unfamiliar to these veteran half-step Dao Integration level experts. After all, he was a famous figure in the Nine Star Domains back then.

It was considered top-tier among those who had achieved Dao Integration, and at that time, the Weiyang Star Region was the second largest star region after the Haicha Clan.

Many years ago, Weiyang Heaven perished outside the boundary. Without Weiyang Heaven, the Weiyang Star Region also declined.

Upon hearing the mention of Weiyang Heaven, the smile on Li Songxuan's face vanished, replaced by a somber expression. He spoke:
"Gentlemen, now is not the time to discuss these things. I have already controlled the Mustard Seed Pearl to head towards the Underworld Continent. We should arrive in about an hour. Let's discuss our next move instead."

Li Songxuan disliked nothing more than someone mentioning his master in front of him.

This treasure is indeed a relic of his master.

After the other party's death, he took possession of that treasure.

Not only this treasure, but after he perished in Weiyang Heaven, he took everything from the other party's cave.

In Li Songxuan's view, since the other party was already dead, all her belongings should belong to him.

The people present were unaware of the master-disciple relationship between Li Songxuan and Wei Yangtian.

The elder of the Sea Fork tribe asked:
"I have a question. Since this Mustard Seed Bead can move, why didn't Fellow Daoist Li use it to bring us here earlier?"

Li Songxuan explained without changing his expression:

“Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but although this Mustard Seed Bead can be moved, it consumes a great deal of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the bead. If we had used the Mustard Seed Bead directly from the outermost edge, the spiritual energy within the bead would probably have been lost by more than 50%. That is why I used the Mustard Seed Bead only after I arrived here.”

"I see." The elder of the Sea Fork Clan looked enlightened.

But he still harbored some disbelief.

He felt that Li Songxuan was trying to force their Sea Chariot Clan army to face the enemy head-on, thus depleting their strength.

Of course, this is just his guess.

In another part of the starry sky.

Zhengjiao is leading Xiaotong to the front lines.

Zheng Jiao thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of freely traversing the starry sky. In the past, he would never have dared to leave Canglan Star to venture into the starry sky.

After all, there are too many powerful figures in the nine star regions, and one careless move could offend some terrifying existence.

But now that Xiaotong, a being at the Dao Integration level, is with him, he naturally has no worries.

Just then, a communication bracelet attached to the cunning beast's claw beeped.

Zhengjiao immediately picked up the bracelet and connected the communication.

"Senior Zhengjiao? This is Zhang Xuan." Zhang Xuan's voice came through the communicator.

The cunning demon asked, "It's you, Little Xuanzi. What brings you here?"

Zheng Jiao was naturally very familiar with Zhang Xuan, after all, he had been in Xingfeng Sect for so many years.

"Here's the thing, we just destroyed a French ship fleet that had infiltrated. They were not far from you. Senior happened to be nearby, and I hope you can go to the scene to check the situation for me!"

"It's already destroyed, so what's the point of looking at it?" Zhengjiao asked, puzzled.

Zhang Xuan explained:
"Although the radar did not detect any psionic activity, it is very abnormal. Nuclear weapons are powerful, but they cannot wipe out all of the enemy in an instant."

The Wind Gate's radar has been improved and can now detect psionic reactions.

It is highly unusual that the radar did not detect psionic energy after the nuclear missile successfully destroyed the target.

Such a small team of magic ships that tries to sneak around the defenses must have a Void Refinement cultivator in charge.

After all, only cultivators at the Void Refinement stage can launch a surprise attack on the Underworld Continent; they can't just send out a group of Nascent Soul cultivators.

With the supernatural powers of cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, how could they possibly be completely annihilated by a nuclear bomb in an instant?

Therefore, Zhang Xuan became wary.

He originally planned to send a small team to investigate.

However, the system inside the wind gate detected that Zheng Jiao's signal source was nearby, so he contacted Zheng Jiao and asked him to take a look.

"Alright, I got it. Send me the coordinates now," Zhengjiao replied.

"Thank you very much, senior!" Zhang Xuan expressed his gratitude and then hung up the communication.

Soon, a set of coordinates was sent to the cunning communicator.

He glanced at the coordinates; the location was only tens of thousands of miles ahead of him, not very far.

Without further hesitation, Zhengjiao transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the location of the nuclear strike.

He had only been flying for a short while when Xiaotong, who was sitting on his back watching videos, seemed to notice something: "Huh?"

Zhengjiao immediately stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Tong stared intently in the west direction:
"It's actually a mustard seed bead! How did this treasure end up here?" (End of Chapter)
