High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

After finishing his meal, Chen Yuan put down his chopsticks.

He picked up the spiritual tea beside him, rinsed his mouth, and then turned his gaze to Lan Qingliu.

"Tell me about it."

Chen Yuan spoke in a calm and unhurried tone.

"What exactly is the situation with the Black Wind Star Pirates?"

Lan Qingliu had been anxiously waiting for this moment.

Upon hearing Chen Yuan speak, he immediately sat up straight.

"Reporting to Special Envoy Chen, the Black Wind Clan's return this time is precisely because they anticipated the weakness within our Qingyuan Star System..."

As he said this, another layer of anger surfaced on his face.

"After the four lords, including Envoy Xiao Zhenyu and Envoy Lei Zhenyu, went to the City Martial Star System, there were no more Eternal True God level experts guarding the area."

"These days, they've been plundering and committing all sorts of atrocities throughout the Qingyuan star system."

"The leader, Black Fiend, is at the mid-stage of the Eternal True God realm."

"He also has eight capable subordinates, whose cultivation levels range from the early stage of True God to the peak of True God."

"Below that are several hundred ordinary members, most of whom are below the tenth rank in strength."

Lan Qingliu paused, then added.

"They originally had more than two hundred warships and spaceships of various types."

"We have fought back desperately these past few days and destroyed some of their ships. There should be about 180 ships left."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan frowned slightly.

"And you?"

He looked up at Lan Qingliu.

"How many warships did the Qingyuan Star System military lose in total?"

Lan Qingliu's face stiffened.

His lips moved, as if he was having some difficulty speaking.

Two seconds later, he whispered.

"Combined elite and regular warships... we have lost nearly three hundred ships."

Chen Yuan's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Over three hundred ships, and they only managed to exchange for a few dozen of the enemy's?"

His voice was calm, but it sent a chill down Lan Qingliu's spine.

Chen Yuan muttered to himself.

"The casualty ratio is more than ten to one."

"Even if the opposing team has an eternal god, they shouldn't be fighting like this, right?"

"Is the military of the Qingyuan Star System really just a bunch of incompetent fools?"

Lan Qingliu could tell from Chen Yuan's expression that the other party had misunderstood.

He quickly got up to explain, his forehead beaded with sweat.

"Special Envoy Chen, it's not that our army is incompetent!"

"The truth is that the Black Fiend possesses an extremely troublesome spatial treasure."

"That treasure is of eternal superior quality, and when unfolded, it can hold all the legion's warships."

"Every time we close in, the Black Wind Gang's warships vanish without a trace."

"After we withdrew our troops, they emerged from the void and attacked us again."

"Otherwise, those space pirates would have been surrounded and killed by us long ago!"

Chen Yuan's brows relaxed upon hearing this.

"A treasure for space organization."

He nodded slightly.

That makes sense.

He thought to himself.

"I knew it. No matter how bad the military in the Qingyuan Star System is, it shouldn't have been beaten up like this by a bunch of space pirates."

"So the other party has a timeless, top-grade spatial treasure."

"The ability to take away an entire fleet at any time while it's surrounded is truly disgusting."

Chen Yuan looked at Lan Qingliu.

"continue."

Lan Qingliu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Yuan's expression soften.

He sat down again and tidied his words.

"We had set up an encirclement against the Black Wind Gang several times before, but each time Black Fiend detected it in advance and forcibly broke through the encirclement."

"His cultivation level is high, and his speed is fast; our warships simply cannot stop him."

"In the last encirclement and suppression operation, not only did we fail to capture anyone, but they also turned the tables and wiped out our entire vanguard team."

As Lan Qingliu spoke, his fists clenched unconsciously again.

"The latest intelligence comes from last night."

"The Black Wind Clan attacked two inhabited planets in the eastern region of the Qingyuan Galaxy."

"Our 7th Patrol Fleet, consisting of 42 warships, is dispatched to intercept them."

"result......"

He gritted his teeth.

"Almost the entire army was wiped out."

"Based on the timeline, the Black Wind Clan should still be hiding somewhere in the eastern region."

Chen Yuan listened without showing any expression.

He held the teacup and slowly traced a circle with his finger along the rim.

"understood."

He put down his teacup and looked at Lan Qingliu.

"Send me the approximate coordinates of the Black Wind Clan."

"Also, hand over command of all warships in the Qingyuan star system to me."

Lan Qingliu was taken aback.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But when she met Chen Yuan's extremely calm eyes, all her hesitation was swallowed back.

"yes!"

Lan Qingliu immediately stood up and waved to the person behind him.

A civil official stepped forward quickly, carrying a bronze seal.

The seal was about the size of a palm, dark blue in color, and covered with dense military patterns and animal totems.

Lan Qingliu took the seal and presented it to Chen Yuan with both hands.

"Special Envoy Chen, this is the highest military authorization seal of my Qingyuan Star System."

"I have entered your identity into the military's core database."

"From this moment on, all remaining warship legions in the Qingyuan Star System will be at your command."

He paused, his tone serious.

"Currently, apart from the three elite legions and ten standing legions guarding Qingyuan Star, all other warships have been deployed to encircle and suppress them."

"Ten elite warship legions and thirty standing warship legions are all under your command."

Lan Qingliu added another sentence.

"All administrative planets and supply points will fully cooperate with all your actions."

Chen Yuan accepted the seal.

The seal felt slightly heavy in the hand, with faint flowing patterns of light on its surface.

With just one grasp, he felt countless faint connections appear in his mind.

That contains the location information and real-time status of every legion and every warship.

"It's quite convenient."

Chen Yuan muttered to himself.

"The military system of the Canglan Empire is quite something."

The communication bracelet on his wrist also lit up.

Hundreds and thousands of coordinates and data points are constantly changing on the screen.

Chen Yuan glanced at it and memorized all the information.

"Okay, I understand."

He nodded to Lan Qingliu.

Lan Qingliu bowed deeply again.

"Special Envoy Chen, the safety of the Qingyuan Star System rests in your hands!"

He spoke sincerely, his voice trembling slightly.

A shadowy figure appeared out of nowhere and patted Lan Qingliu's boots with its paw.

"Don't worry, with my boss in charge, those Black Wind Gang and White Wind Gang are no match for us!"

Lan Qingliu almost lost his balance when it hit him.

He quickly lowered his head, forcing a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, yes, with Special Envoy Chen here, I am completely at ease."

The shadowy creature tilted its head back, its tail held high.

"You have good taste!"

Chen Yuan ignored the guy's antics.

He stood up and straightened his robes.

"I'm gone."

Lan Qingliu quickly straightened up.

"Special Envoy Chen, would you like me to accompany you?"

"No need."

Chen Yuan walked out without looking back.

"You will be stationed at the Governor's Mansion to maintain order on Qingyuan Star."

"Leave the rest to me."

Lan Qingliu quickly responded.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Chen Yuan led everyone out of the banquet hall.

The daylight outside was already starting to set in the west, and the golden sunlight was slanting across the long corridor.

A breeze blew from afar, carrying the fragrance of the sacred flowers in the governor's mansion's back garden.

Chen Yuan walked at a moderate pace.

As he walked, he mentally processed the intelligence he had just acquired.

"Black Fiend, mid-stage Eternal True God."

"Eight true god-level leaders, and several hundred henchmen."

"One hundred and eighty ships, and a spatial treasure that can store the entire fleet."

The corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"That's interesting."

"Unfortunately, that's about all it is."

After exiting the main gate of the Governor's Mansion, Chen Yuan raised his hand and waved.

The Starship once again appeared in the sky above the square.

As before, the massive hull of the ship blocked out half of the sunlight.

Chen Yuan was the first to board the Shenzhou.

Chen Tianling and the Holy Dragon Guards filed in.

The shadowy creature finally leaped up, not forgetting to turn back and wave its claws at Lan Qingliu.

"They're leaving now, wait for our good news!"

Lan Qingliu stood in the square, watching the Starry Sea Divine Ship slowly ascend into the sky.

"Special Envoy Chen, you must win..."

He murmured softly, his voice carried away by the wind into the twilight.

Inside the Starship.

Chen Yuan sat in the main control seat and used his divine sense to control the core.

The entire Shenzhou spacecraft trembled slightly and sped off towards the eastern part of the Qingyuan Star System.

He looked down and operated the communication wristband a few times.

"All warship legions currently patrolling and pursuing the Black Wind Gang will be placed under my unified command from this moment forward."

"You only have one task."

"Find the exact location of the Black Wind Clan and then report the coordinates."

"Once the target is spotted, do not act rashly, and do not engage the enemy without authorization."

"Send me the location, and I'll handle it."

The instant the command was given.

Throughout the Qingyuan Star System, notification sounds rang out from the bridges of countless warships.

The silver-white warships continued their patrol through the starry sky.

The captains were taken aback when they saw the new instructions on the communication screen.

immediately.

An indescribable sense of peace welled up inside me.

"It's Special Envoy Chen! He's finally arrived!"

"Great! We now have an eternal god overseeing things here!"

"Finally, we don't have to use our brothers' lives to feed those space pirates anymore!"

"I heard that this Special Envoy Chen hasn't been in the Empire for very long. I wonder what his actual abilities are..."

"Regardless of strength, the Eternal God is the Eternal God!"

"As long as he can stop Black Fiend, we can easily deal with the rest!"

The captains of each warship replied.

"First Army Corps, Third Fleet, received!"

"Seventh Standing Corps received!"

"Eastern patrol fleet received!"

"We will immediately adjust our flight path and search for the Black Wind Group with all our might!"

In an instant, all the warships in the eastern region of the Qingyuan Star System seemed to be injected with new vitality.

The morale, which had been low due to a series of defeats, quickly rebounded with Chen Yuan's arrival...

And at that very moment.

In the eastern part of the Qingyuan Galaxy, in a remote part of the starry sky shrouded in dust clouds.

More than a hundred menacing-looking space pirate warships were quietly hovering behind a gray-white asteroid belt.

These warships were dark red all over, with barbs and thick armor covering their surfaces.

From a distance, they look like a group of piranhas lurking in the shadows.

At the very center of the fleet was a giant flagship that was nearly ten times larger than the other warships.

The main ship was entirely black, with a dark red energy core embedded in its bow, resembling the slowly beating heart of a ferocious beast.

Inside the bridge.

The lights were dim, and the air was filled with the mixed smell of fuel and blood.

Several space pirates were gathered around the communications station, clumsily fiddling with a captured Imperial military communications device.

"I've got it! I've got it!"

One of the tall, thin men suddenly shouted.

"There's encrypted communication from Qingyuan Star; we just intercepted it!"

He quickly tapped a few keys on the keyboard.

"That old bastard Lan Qingliu handed over all his military power to a guy named Chen Yuan!"

"That's the new honorary envoy!"

The tall, thin man's voice was shrill and urgent.

"Lan Qingliu also said, 'Have all warships and planets fully cooperate with this person's actions!'"

"Our location may be exposed very soon!"

The faces of the other space pirates nearby changed upon hearing this.

"What? The Azure Sky Empire has sent the Eternal God?"

"How is this possible! Didn't Xiao Yuanshan and the others all go to the City Martial Star System?"

"Where did this Chen Yuan come from?"

"We're doomed, we'd better get out of here!"

"What are you panicking for! Listen to what the boss has to say first!"

A man who appeared to be a leader gave a low shout and turned to run towards the depths of the main ship.

The top deck of the main ship.

Black Demon was standing in front of a huge star map.

He looks to be around forty years old.

It was long and thin, like an iron bar wrapped in black cloth.

His skin was ashen, his eyes were sunken, and his eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black mist that would never dissipate.

Her hair was messy and draped over her shoulders, with a strand of long, gray hair hanging down on each side of her temples, covering half of her face.

He was wearing a worn but heavy black battle robe.

The hem of the robe was stained with many dried and blackened bloodstains.

The person standing there looked exactly like a demon that had crawled out of a mass grave.

"The boss!"

The leader rushed in and knelt on one knee.

"Urgent report!"

Black Fiend slowly turned his head.

His movements were slow, and his neck made a slight clicking sound like a rusty machine.

"explain."

His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper scraping against an iron plate.

The leader swallowed hard and quickly recounted the intercepted information.

"Lan Qingliu found an honorary envoy named Chen Yuan from the Jade Light Star System to be his assistant."

"That person also possesses the cultivation of an eternal true god."

"Lan Qingliu also handed over the military power of the entire Qingyuan Star System to him."

After hearing this, a flicker of emotion finally appeared in Hei Sha's lifeless eyes.

"Chen Yuan?"

He tilted his head.

Memories of Chen Yuan surfaced in my mind.

"Is that the space wanderer who recently joined the Azure Sky Empire?"

"Reporting to the chief, it is indeed this person."

The leader nodded quickly.

Hei Sha didn't speak, but slowly turned around and looked at the star map again.

"With Xiao Yuanshan and the others not here, I completely forgot about this guy."

He muttered to himself, the sound seeming to be squeezed out from deep in his throat.

"The mighty Eternal God didn't even go to the City Martial Star System."

"They're quite tolerant."

Black Fiend raised his hand and made a light stroke on the star map.

"Go, get me this information about Chen Yuan."

"I want to see what kind of person this so-called honorary envoy really is."

"yes!"

The leader stepped back in response.

Before long, an intelligence projection appeared in front of Hei Sha.

The above lists Chen Yuan's publicly available information.

Name: Chen Yuan.

Cultivation level: Mid-stage Eternal True God.

Identity: Honorary Envoy of the Canglan Empire.

Background: A cosmic wanderer of unknown origin.

Record: None.

Other: He settled on Yuhua Star, lived a secluded life, and rarely participated in military and political affairs.

He has repeatedly refused to enter the secret realm for exploration.

The intelligence was brief.

It was so simple that even Hei Sha couldn't help but scoff.

"this one?"

He reached out and flicked his fingers in the air a few times.

"A mid-stage Eternal True God who doesn't even dare to go to a secret realm."

"How strong can they really be?"

"They spend their days hiding on Yuhua Star, enjoying life without competing or fighting."

"To put it bluntly, he's just a useless person with cultivation but no talent."

A sinister smile tugged at the corner of Hei Sha's mouth.

"This kind of thing wouldn't even be considered one of the weakest among the eternal gods."

He raised his hand and waved it, instantly extinguishing the intelligence projection.

The leader next to him hesitated for a moment.

"Boss, although Chen Yuan might not be strong."

"But he is, after all, an eternal God."

"Our advantage... is gone."

"How about we evacuate the Qingyuan Star System before they discover us?"

Hei Sha turned and glanced at him.

The leader trembled under the gaze and lowered his head even further.

"withdraw?"

Black Fiend's voice suddenly turned cold.

"I've lost over twenty ships here, and two true god-level brothers have perished! They've followed me for years, sharing my joys and sorrows! You want me to retreat now?"

He raised his hand and pointed to a planet marked in gold on the star map.

"This Taihe Star is one of the most prosperous life-bearing planets in the Qingyuan Galaxy."

"Those who live up there are either powerful and wealthy people or rich businessmen."

"If it's easy money coming your way, why not take it?"

Black Demon withdrew his hand, his tone resolute.

"That Chen Yuan is no match for me."

"Pass down the order: all ships, advance at full speed, raid Taihe Star, and then evacuate the Qingyuan Star System."

He paused, his voice growing even colder.

"Anyone who dares to mention the word 'withdrawal' again will be court-martialed."

The leader was so frightened he didn't dare breathe.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

He scrambled out of the room.

A moment later, the entire Black Wind Legion fleet began to move.

One hundred and eighty dark red warships slowly turned around.

Like a group of vicious sharks that had smelled blood, they swam silently toward Taihe Star.
