Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"It's time...!"

After breaking through to the eighth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, Lu Feng did not linger and immediately flew towards the direction of Falling Star Valley.

Although Zhang Dabiao is one of the leaders of the Sun-rank branch of the Wusheng Sect, and he also possesses a powerful demonic force that is no weaker than that of a Heaven-rank demonic beast, Lu Feng's current strength and cultivation level are not without any power to fight back.

Moreover, he had the ancient monster Gu Canyang, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, by his side. Even if Zhang Dabiao really had the body of a half-demon, Lu Feng was not worried at all!

...

Meanwhile, deep within Falling Star Valley, outside the Sealing Star Platform

"Hasn't Li Li come back yet?"

After subduing the disciples of Falling Star Academy, Zhang Dabiao did not go on a killing spree. Instead, he turned to look at a member of the Wusheng Cult beside him.

"Reporting to Chief Zhang! I have just sent out several telepathic messages over long distances, but I have not yet received a reply from Captain Li..."

Faced with Zhang Dabiao's question, the Wusheng sect member dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately knelt on one knee, looking very respectful.

"What did you say?"

Hearing that Li Li and the others were still missing, Zhang Dabiao frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face. "What on earth are these guys up to? They're just chasing after a weak woman at the fourth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, and they've dragged it out for so long without resolving it...!"

"Chief Zhang! In my humble opinion, perhaps... maybe... Captain Li and the others are already on their way back...?"

Noticing the anger on Zhang Dabiao's face, the Wusheng sect member also looked uneasy, and then spoke in a weak tone, as if afraid of accidentally angering the other party.

After all, the other party was not only one of the leaders of the Sun-type branch of the Wusheng Sect, but also possessed the "Beast Taming Golden Bell" bestowed by the Beast Protector Manlong. He was one of the latter's trusted confidants, far superior to a lowly sect leader like himself.

"Tch! Never mind all that, carrying out Lord Barbarian Dragon's orders is the most important thing...!"

Spitting hard, Zhang Dabiao looked up again at the Penglai Star-Sealing Array above the Star-Sealing Platform, a fervent glint in his eyes. "Although the Penglai Star-Sealing Array is a top-tier Xuan-grade array, difficult for us to break easily, its sealing power has greatly diminished over thousands of years...!"

"As long as Lord Barbarian Dragon and the other protectors arrive in person, a mere top-grade Xuan-level formation is nothing to fear. As for the legendary Earth Tiger Star, one of the celestial stars, it will also be our Holy Sect's possession!"

At this point, a deep greedy look appeared on Zhang Dabiao's face, clearly making no attempt to hide his ambition.

After all, they had gone to great lengths and, with the cover of the Wusheng Sect, had managed to evade the notice of the Falling Star Academy's high-ranking members. It was impossible that they were simply infiltrating the Starfall Secret Realm to kill people.

The sealed "Earth Tiger Star" deep within Falling Star Valley is the true target of Zhang Dabiao and his group, as well as the Wusheng Sect!

"So these guys' real target was Earth Tiger Star...!"

After learning of Zhang Dabiao and his group's ambitions, Xia Zhenhu also looked solemn, his brows furrowed.

At first, he was a little puzzled as to what the other party was trying to gain by infiltrating the Starfall Secret Realm. It couldn't possibly be just a simple case of murder and robbery, and such a small benefit was not worth the Wusheng Sect's great effort.

Now it seems that he underestimated Zhang Dabiao and his group's ambition. They had their eyes on the secret treasure of Falling Star Academy, Earth Tiger Star!

"Damn it! My Yuan energy hasn't recovered yet, and I can't move my body...!"

Struggling to his feet, Duan Lang was about to stop Zhang Dabiao and the others when he staggered and fell to the ground again, coughing up blood repeatedly, his breath growing weaker.

After a fierce battle and the excessive consumption of his Yuan energy by using the Great Evolution Star Sealing Technique, his strength was already reduced to less than one-tenth, leaving him completely powerless to stop Zhang Dabiao and the others.

As for Xia Zhenhu, Cao Keying, and the others standing to the side, they were in no better shape. They were also seriously injured and temporarily incapacitated, and could only watch helplessly as the situation deteriorated.

"Ren Lingyun, how are you? Can you still move...?"

Cao Keying gritted her teeth, then turned to look at Ren Lingyun, who was also badly injured. Her pretty face was full of resentment, as if she wanted to try one last gamble. "We are not only the elites of the East Academy, but we also bear the high expectations of the elders. We absolutely cannot let the conspiracy of these remnants of the Wusheng Sect succeed...!"

"Miss Cao, I'm not going to die anytime soon, but stopping these guys right now might be a bit difficult..."

Facing Cao Keying's gaze, Ren Lingyun smiled bitterly, clearly feeling powerless to do anything about it.

Moreover, what puzzled Ren Lingyun even more was where Zhang Dabiao and his group got the confidence and means to dare to set their sights on Earth Tiger Star.

It should be noted that even if Xia Xihai, the current vice dean of Luoxing Academy, personally took action, he would not be able to break through the Penglai Sealing Star Formation on his own and subdue the Earth Tiger Star, which had been sealed for thousands of years, let alone Zhang Dabiao and his group of Spirit Soul Realm warriors.

"Chief Zhang, these Falling Star Academy disciples don't seem quite convinced yet. In my humble opinion, perhaps we should first deal with these Falling Star Academy disciples..."

Having also noticed Ren Lingyun and the others' subtle actions, a tall cultist stepped forward, then raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

After all, although Ren Lingyun and the others had lost their ability to resist, keeping them around would still be a threat, and might even disrupt their Wusheng Sect's plan to seize the Earth Tiger Star.

"Heh, killing these guys like this would be a waste. We just happen to need a few unlucky souls to sacrifice for the array. You should know what to do..."

Faced with the tall cultist's suggestion, Zhang Dabiao merely shook his head and sneered, then said in a low voice, seemingly with ulterior motives.

"I understand!"

Upon hearing this, the tall cultist immediately understood and then instructed his companions, "You guys come with me! Tie all these Falling Star Academy disciples together. Don't let them escape; Chief Zhang will use their lives as a sacrifice for the formation later!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the disciples from Falling Star Academy present changed slightly and suddenly turned ugly.

However, they were completely powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as the tall cultist led his men to attack, like lambs to the slaughter!

"Great Evolution Star Sealing Technique, Star Soul Eye, open!"

Seeing that the disciples of Falling Star Academy were being subdued one after another, Zhang Dabiao did not hesitate. He immediately flew to the top of the Star Sealing Platform and summoned the Star Soul Eyes on both sides of his forehead.

"The power of Earth Tiger Star is relatively stable, and it won't break the seal for the time being..."

"Next, it's time to summon Lord Savage Dragon and all the guardians...!"

Standing in mid-air, gazing at the Earth Tiger Star sealed in the very center of the Penglai Star Sealing Array, Zhang Dabiao took a deep breath, then suddenly spat out a crimson jade disc from his throat. At the same time, he clasped his hands together as if he were performing some kind of strange technique.

"Using blood as a catalyst, jade walls transform into gates, twisting the void to serve my purposes...!"

Zhang Dabiao muttered incantations, then roared and spat out a mouthful of blood, "Blood Sacrifice Sky-Covering Formation, activate!"

Swish! Snap...!

In an instant, blood stained the jade wall, and the once ordinary red jade wall broke apart and turned into dust.

hum!

The moment the crimson jade wall shattered, an extremely terrifying array aura appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping the entire Sealing Star Platform. The surrounding world was in turmoil, and was covered with layers of thick, eerie blood mist, as if the entire sky had been completely obscured, causing people to feel uneasy!

"Ah...! Ah...!" Ah...!"

The moment the eerie blood mist appeared, a shrill scream suddenly came from the ground below.

"What...what's going on?!"

"Why is my body suddenly not obeying my commands...!"

"Damn it! My internal energy and blood are still rapidly draining away, and I can't control it...!"

Suddenly, Ren Lingyun and the others who had been captured collapsed to the ground, their limbs twitching violently, their faces turning deathly pale. Their vital energy and blood were also stripped away and flowed into the eerie blood mist above the sky. The whole process was quite terrifying!
