After leaving the stone house, Qi Yuan arranged the defensive formation here and immediately turned into a stunning rainbow and flew towards Tianxing City.
Along the way, they often encountered disciples of the Anti-Star Alliance patrolling the sea, but their cultivation was quite low, so they could not find any trace of Qi Yuan.
The Xing Palace has a very deep foundation and can fight against the Anti-Star Alliance, but the two saints of the Xing Palace cannot leave the Yuanci Divine Mountain, resulting in no one being able to stop Wan Sangu and the Six Paths Saint.
Under such circumstances, the sea area that Xinggong could control shrank year by year, until it completely retreated to the island inside Tianxing City and dared not go out easily.
The Anti-Star Alliance was unable to capture Tianxing City quickly and could only block the Star Palace disciples from going out through siege. At the same time, they controlled a large area of sea resources, and their momentum was growing.
Among them, the three Kuixing Islands naturally fell into the hands of the Nixing Alliance.
This time Qi Yuan came to Chaos Star Sea to investigate the situation of the three women and to get rid of the Six Paths Supreme Saints.
The corpse refining seed Wen Tianren was killed by him.
Mrs. Wen also took advantage.
Even if the Six Paths Supreme Saint is as cruel and ruthless as he is, he does not regard the two above as human beings.
For the sake of face and because their plans were disturbed, the Six Paths Supreme Saints were determined to fight Qi Yuan to the death.
In addition, Qi Yuan also wanted to find the Jinhua ancestor and obtain the Jinque Jade Book from him in order to study the art of talismans.
Several talismans in the pages of the book are very important and can be used to save lives in the spiritual world.
The drop of Kunpeng's feather is not coming so soon, so you can't take advantage of it for the time being.
This feather contains a powerful wind attribute and carries a drop of Kunpeng's blood. It is one of the very rare opportunities in the human world.
The Dragon Scale Fruit Tree is in the hands of the tenth-level monster Golden Dragon King. If you want to get the spiritual tree, you need to capture the person and torture him.
Regular consumption of dragon scale fruit can strengthen the physical constitution and is beneficial for practicing physical cultivation techniques.
Moreover, the Golden Dragon King is a gold-attributed demon beast, and his inner elixir is also very useful, so it would be nice to get it.
Qi Yuan was flying at such a high speed, and as his silver wind-thunder wings continued to flap, his speed was extremely fast.
The huge Tianxing City suddenly appeared in his sight, occupying his entire pupils.
Qi Yuan easily bypassed the blockade of the Anti-Star Alliance and his figure quietly landed near the city gate.
Before the disciples guarding the city could speak, the token of the guest elder of the Star Palace was tightly suspended at his side, emitting a unique star-like spiritual power.
He was then warmly welcomed by the disciples of Xinggong.
After entering Tianxing City, the wide streets are not as prosperous as before, and most of the surrounding shops are closed.
The yin and yang energies condensed in the sky above the city also decreased significantly.
The decline in the number of monks due to years of fighting between the two sides is inevitable.
If we want to restore Tianxing City to its former prosperity, we can only wait for the war to stop.
Qi Yuan flashed continuously and soon arrived at the headquarters of Miaoyin Sect. Analyzing based on the movement traces of the disciples, it did not seem like they were being suppressed by Xinggong.
The auras of Ruyan and the other two were inside.
Could it be that Ling Xiaofeng just wanted to force him to show up?
After all, Qi Yuan disappeared for so many years, and it would be difficult to find him.
It would be more practical to take the opportunity to put his beauty under house arrest and force her out.
In the hall, Zhou Yuan sat in the main seat and had a passionate conversation with Yan Ruyan and the other two girls.
Suddenly, Xiaomei said excitedly: "Why do I feel the scent of senior?"
"Xiaomei, when you say that, I feel a sense of closeness in my heart." Chen Qiaoqian rolled her eyes and said in confusion.
Yan Ruyan's delicate nose moved slightly, smelling a unique scent in the air. A warm feeling immediately surged in her mind, and she chuckled and said, "The master is here, he is nearby."
When Zhou Yuan heard what the three women said, for some reason, her heart began to get confused. Her already charming and dignified appearance became even more alluring because of the light blush on her cheeks.
"You guys haven't come back yet, I thought something happened."
Qi Yuan's figure mysteriously appeared in the center of the hall and spoke to the women.
"senior…"
"Junior brother..."
"Owner…"
The three girls said in unison.
Xiaomei then said, "I also want to return to Tiannan to be with the young lady, but the two saints of the Star Palace have threatened us to stay, so I dare not act rashly."
"Master, what do you think the Twin Saints of the Star Palace mean?" Yan Ruyan didn't understand what was going on and asked the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
Qi Yuan looked warm and said, "This has a lot of meaning. I'll explain it to you later."
Then he raised his eyes to the center and said softly, "Hello, sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you doing?"
Time passed in a flash, and there was no trace of time left on the woman's face. Her skin and condition were just like those of her prime years.
It also has rich experience and maintains the charm of a ripe peach.
"It's all thanks to my little brother that Miaoyin Sect is developing well." Zhou Yuan pursed her pink lips and said in a soft voice.
Before Qi Yuan came in, he had used his spiritual sense to take a rough look at the Miaoyin Sect, and found that it had indeed developed better than before.
Even the flying centipede is thriving.
"I hope Xinggong didn't make things difficult for you when I was away."
"Not really. On the contrary, Miss Ling has been very concerned about the Miaoyin Sect's industry." Zhou Yuan's body moved slightly, and the jewelry on her head also made a crisp sound.
Qi Yuan understood that the Miss Ling Zhou Yuan mentioned was Ling Yuling.
After such distracting efforts, I must find time to make up for it later to prevent Ling Yuling from feeling aggrieved.
As for Zi Ling, she was already in seclusion, so she did not show up.
Wen Siyue, Zhuo Ruting, and Fan Jingmei, they had their own businesses in the city and did not stay at the Miaoyin Sect headquarters.
Although Tianxing City is not as popular as before, there are still many monks living in the city, and some capable shops can still operate for the time being.
At this time, two figures came in one after the other. The one in front was a disciple of Miaoyin Sect. She was the first to bow and said, "Master, someone from Xinggong is here."
The white-robed monk behind him, wearing Xing Palace clothing, when he saw Qi Yuan's face, he directly passed the person in front of him and said respectfully: "I greet Elder Qi. The Palace Master has an order to urgently call you back."
Qi Yuan secretly thought that it was so fast, and said calmly: "I know, you can go down."
"Qi..."
The Xinggong disciple wanted to speak.
Qi Yuan immediately shouted in a stern voice: "What? Do you have any control over when this elder goes back?" The Xinggong disciple was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He dared not say anything and quickly retreated.
Although the person in front of him did not use any aura to suppress him, he was absolutely sure that if he did not know what was good for him, he would suffer the consequences.
Zhou Yuan's pair of tender eyes suddenly lit up, and she covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled: "My little brother is really overbearing. I have never dared to be so rude to Xinggong disciples."
"If anyone in Xing Palace has coveted Miaoyin Sect in recent years, please tell them directly and don't hide anything. I will deal with them one by one when I have time."
Qi Yuan was afraid that Zhou Yuan was hiding something, so he continued to ask.
When Zhou Yuan heard this, she couldn't help but look at the man in front of her, then lowered her head slightly, her heart pounding.
She felt that there was something else behind her younger brother's words. Was he worried that she would be bullied?
"With Miss Ling's order, naturally no one dares to provoke the Miaoyin Sect at will, so you don't have to worry, little brother."
"Well, then I'm relieved. You guys sit down for a while. I'll go to the top of the holy mountain."
Qi Yuan nodded slightly, his figure flashed, and disappeared from the spot.
Soon he flew to the top of the holy mountain and was among the clouds.
Led by the disciples of Xinggong, he walked into a majestic hall and met Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing.
The couple's appearance has always been maintained in the most proud state, just like middle-aged people in their thirties and forties who are strong, mature and stable.
But if you look closely, you will find that their life energy is in a downward phase, without any upward momentum.
If nothing unexpected happens, the lifespan of the Twin Saints of Star Palace will soon be coming to an end.
Qi Yuan bowed to the two and said, "Greetings to the Palace Master and Madam Palace Master."
Ling Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes slightly. After truly seeing Qi Yuan's cultivation level, he was surprised and happy.
What was shocking was that Qi Yuan’s cultivation was so fast. After only a few decades of not seeing each other, he had broken through from the early Nascent Soul stage to the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Even more amazing than the natural spiritual roots.
The good news is that taking over the body of a middle-stage Nascent Soul would bring him many benefits, and Qi Yuan's aptitude is the five elements of spiritual roots, which perfectly meets the requirements of Yuanci Divine Mountain in all aspects.
As long as he succeeds in taking over the body, he can use his limited lifespan and the resources of the Star Palace to break through to the God Transformation Stage with the help of the Yuanci Divine Mountain.
Selfishly speaking, Ling Xiaofeng was very interested in Qi Yuan's ability to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, and believed that he had a great opportunity.
Wen Qing on the side was more worried than surprised, fearing that Yu Ling would not be able to control this person and that the Xinggong foundation would fall into the hands of others.
Ling Xiaofeng smiled amiably and said, "Congratulations, Elder Qi, on your progress. During the decades you disappeared, I thought you had fallen into the hands of thieves."
"I just had some sudden realization, so I found a remote island in the outer sea to practice in seclusion. The Palace Master is worried about me, and it is Qi's fault."
Qi Yuan responded with a hint of apology on his face.
Wen Qing smiled politely, her red lips closed: "Elder Qi has gained something from his retreat, we are so happy, how could we blame you?"
"Elder Qi, please take a seat first, and let's have a good chat." Ling Xiaofeng gestured with his hand.
Qi Yuan took a seat without hesitation, and a maid immediately served him some spiritual tea.
"I just flew back from the open sea. All I met on the way were disciples of the Anti-Star Alliance. Is our situation a little too bad?"
"Alas, I believe Elder Qi also knows our situation. Regarding the actions of the Anti-Star Alliance, the Star Palace can only take one step at a time. The situation was better when Elder Jin was alive. Now there is no restraint, and almost no one can stop the thieves."
Ling Xiaofeng looked a little sad, angry and helpless.
what?
Great Elder Jin Kui is dead.
Qi Yuan's expression froze for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal and said, "What's going on? With Elder Jin's cultivation level, it shouldn't be difficult for him to escape."
"This was completely beyond our expectations. We didn't expect a traitor to appear in the Star Palace. He took half-true and half-false information and tricked Elder Jin Kui out. He flew to the Anti-Star Alliance and set a trap in advance, but he was eventually killed by Wan Sangu."
Wen Qing's eyes turned cold, and he spoke quietly.
Qi Yuan sighed: "No wonder I received an order from the Palace Master as soon as I returned to Tianxing City. It turns out that the situation in the Star Palace is worse than I thought."
Wen Qing was about to speak, but was stopped by a look from her Taoist partner.
Ling Xiaofeng said: "Although the situation is urgent, I still have a backup plan. I will never let Elder Qi face everything alone."
"Oh, may I ask what tricks the Palace Master has?" Qi Yuan sneered in his heart and responded in surprise.
Even Wen Qing who was standing beside him fixed his gaze on Ling Xiaofeng, his face calm, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Ling Xiaofeng stood up and paced back and forth a few times, and said confidently: "I have a powerful secret technique. If I practice it successfully, I can repel the Anti-Star Alliance. Maybe even Wan Sangu and the Six Paths Supreme Saints can't escape. But if I want to practice it successfully, I need the assistance of a Nascent Soul cultivator, so I would like to ask Elder Qi to lend me a hand."
"Compared to me, isn't the Palace Master's wife more suitable?" Qi Yuan asked back.
Ling Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "Only Elder Qi can help me with this. Others can hardly do it because this secret technique requires Elder Qi's five elements of magic power to assist."
"My husband, are you going to learn the secret technique you created? But the consequences will be too great. Your vitality will be greatly damaged afterwards."
Wen Qingyu gave advice in a serious tone.
Qi Yuan glanced around the two of them, wondering what kind of medicine they were selling.
You proposed it so blatantly, aren't you afraid that he will become wary?
"Please explain more clearly, Palace Master."
"Haha, Elder Qi, it's normal that you don't know. The reason why I was trapped in Tianxing City was all because of the Yuanci Divine Mountain. Back then, I wanted to use this strange mountain to practice the Yuanci Divine Light and break through the God Transformation Stage in one fell swoop. However, fate played tricks on me. Later on, I found that in order to succeed in practice, I needed to have the five elements of spiritual roots, otherwise I would not be able to achieve perfection."
"Fortunately, I met Elder Qi that year. I discovered that you have the five elements spiritual root, so I had an idea and created a secret technique on my own. As long as you help me practice the secret technique to perfection, I can use the remaining five elements magic power to temporarily leave Yuanci Mountain, and then take advantage of the situation to repel the Anti-Star Alliance."
"There are a large number of formations set up around Tianxing City. Once we trap Wan Sangu and the Six Paths Supreme Saint, even if we can't kill them, I am confident that I can injure them, so that the Anti-Star Alliance will not dare to move for hundreds of years."
Ling Xiaofeng spoke sincerely throughout.
Combined with Wen Qing's worried expression, it can be said to be sincere and heartfelt.
But Qi Yuan was not stupid. He had played this kind of trick before, so he could naturally smell the scent of a fellow traveler.
Wen Qing's behavior revealed her true feelings, which showed that she knew about this secret technique.
It was just that Ling Xiaofeng overacted and seemed to be trying too hard.
Qi Yuan didn't live with the two saints of Xinggong, so he didn't know much about their situation. He temporarily made them look like collusion and said, "Xinggong is in turmoil right now. As a guest elder, I can't just sit back and watch Xinggong decline. Besides, I'm just assisting the palace master in practicing secret arts. How can I refuse?"
"Okay, okay, I have the help of Elder Qi, and I feel more confident. Afterwards, I will not treat Elder Qi's help unfairly, and I will definitely thank him with a generous gift."
Ling Xiaofeng promised very happily.
Wen Qing still felt uneasy. She had seen the secret technique before and still felt it was not safe. She continued to persuade him, "Husband, the secret technique is not yet perfect. Why don't we wait a while?"
"Madam, the enemy is at the gates of the city now. We don't have time to wait. Don't you know Liu Dao's temper?"
Ling Xiaofeng changed the subject and said something meaningful.
Wen Qing's expression changed slightly, and he instantly became gloomy and terrifying, and he stopped trying to persuade her. (End of this chapter)
