On the third morning, the sky was still dim, and the brocade-clothed man, the thin man, and the others sneaked out of the residence very low-key and set off for the Starry Sky Palace. WwW. feiazw. CoM Net

At this moment, the martial law had just ended, and it was exactly the time allowed for cultivators to come out for activities, but because it was still early, there were actually not many people appearing in the city.

As a result, these seven people were even more cautious, all nervous and just burying their heads in the journey.

Only the brocade-clothed man leading the way looked around incessantly while flying.

The journey was very smooth. After flying for a while without incident, they flew to the forty-ninth floor of the Holy Mountain. As long as they passed for a moment, they could reach the Starry Sky Palace.

Only then did they relax, and their hearts felt much more at ease.

But just at this moment, the brocade-clothed man leading the way changed his expression and stopped his escape light. Then, he raised his hand solemnly and made a strange gesture.

The people behind saw this, their faces changed drastically, and they stopped their figures, all making cautious and alert postures.

"Fellow Daoist, what is your intention, why are you blocking our path while hiding your figure?" The brocade-clothed man stared at the empty space in front and said coldly.

At the same time, one of his palms quietly pressed on the storage bag at his waist.

"Hehe, you fellow Daoists don't need to be nervous. Although I am waiting for you here, I have no ill intentions, just have something to ask."

A somewhat hoarse voice came slowly from the front, and then green light flashed in the empty space, and a green-clothed cultivator appeared there with his hands behind his back.

This person was middle-aged, with a pale face, as if he were sick.

But as soon as the brocade-clothed man and the others saw this person's cultivation, they couldn't help but be shocked and raised their vigilance.

The other party was at the Foundation Establishment late-stage, the same as the brocade-clothed man, and was also in the fake Core Formation realm.

"Fellow Daoist, what is your surname? How can we help you?" The brocade-clothed man flashed a hint of coldness in his eyes, but asked calmly in his mouth.

"I am surnamed Qu, just a loose cultivator. Are you not going to the Starry Sky Palace? Can you take me with you? I also want to go to the Outer Star Sea." The green-clothed person said very casually, making the faces of the people opposite turn green.

The brocade-clothed man heard this, and his expression became even more uncertain.

He was silent for a while before forcing a smile and denying:

"So it is fellow Daoist Qu, but what do you mean by Starry Sky Palace and Outer Star Sea? We are just handling some private matters and passing by here. It has nothing to do with the Starry Sky Palace. Did you find the wrong person?"

The brocade-clothed man had made up his mind; although he didn't know the other party's background or how they knew about their trip, he couldn't easily admit it.

The others didn't interrupt blindly, seemingly leaving everything to the man to deal with.

"Fellow Daoist Yi, why be so cautious? Since I appeared here at this time, do you think you can fool me with these words?" The green-clothed person smiled lightly and said lightly.

"Humph! You know quite well, even knowing Yi's name." The brocade-clothed man felt a chill in his heart and snorted coldly, his hand on the storage bag bulging with veins.

The people behind didn't know where they got the hint, but suddenly dispersed and surrounded the green-clothed person in the middle.

"You wouldn't want to kill me to silence me, would you? It is not that I am boasting, but with my cultivation, it is impossible for you to kill me in seconds even if you all attack together. When the time comes, I will shout, and the Star Palace people will be recruited. I wonder what will happen to you?" The green-clothed cultivator turned a blind eye to the actions of the few, instead saying leisurely.

Upon hearing this, the black-faced cultivator and the others looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on the brocade-clothed man.

The man's face was extremely ugly at this moment.

Although he hadn't formed a Core yet, he had always considered himself to have superior schemes and had never been threatened by a Foundation Establishment cultivator like this.

But he also knew very clearly that the other party's threat was true and real, not a joke.

So after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he could only suppress his anger and ask coldly:

"Fellow Daoist, what do you want us to help with? We have already agreed with the other party that there are seven people, and that teleportation array can teleport at most seven cultivators at a time. If there is one more, the other party will definitely not agree."

Upon hearing this, the green-clothed person smiled slightly.

"Rest assured! I won't make it difficult for you fellow Daoists. I just need to enter the palace, and I have my own way to convince the other party. If the other party doesn't agree, I won't force it, and I won't ruin your good deeds."

"Just like this!" The brocade-clothed man frowned, revealing a hint of suspicion.

"Just like this!" The green-clothed person said very affirmatively.

"Good. If it is just to introduce you, this is not impossible. We agree." The brocade-clothed man pondered for a moment and finally agreed through gritted teeth.

"Then Qu thanks you, fellow Daoist!" The green-clothed person's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected the brocade-clothed man's submission, and cupped his hands slightly.

"Since you are also going to the Starry Sky Palace, let us go quickly. Time has been delayed quite a bit. The other party is probably getting impatient." The thin man looked at the sky and urged somewhat anxiously.

Upon hearing this, the green-clothed person looked at the thin man and didn't say anything. But the brocade-clothed man waved his hand without a word and led the crowd on the road again.

Their flight formation surrounded the green-clothed cultivator in the middle intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed that the few people's vigilance had not been put down at all.

The green-clothed cultivator's expression didn't change at all, following the crowd forward unhurriedly.

The remaining distance was not much, and after a while, the few came to the Starry Sky Palace.

At this time, the thin man suddenly accelerated and flew down first.

The brocade-clothed man and the others didn't reveal any strange expression.

After all, the person who had been contacting the Starry Sky Palace had always been this person. Now that they were here, it was natural for him to walk to the front to avoid any misunderstandings.

After entering the Starry Sky Palace, they all wanted to maintain a composed expression, but they couldn't help but reveal anxiety.

Once they entered this palace, their lives were completely in the hands of the other party.

But everything seemed very normal. The restrictions that should have appeared didn't appear. It seemed that the person in charge inside had turned them off in advance.

The green-clothed person saw this, and a hint of strangeness flashed across his face.

But the others felt much more relieved and finally entered the main hall where the teleportation array was located, where two white-clothed Star Palace cultivators were waiting for them.

"Senior Gu, Senior Gan! We are here. Are you ready on your side?" The thin man saw the two and immediately stepped forward with a flattering smile, extremely respectful.

These two cultivators had cold expressions, and seeing the thin man ask this, only one bald old man nodded arrogantly.

"What is there to prepare on our side? Hand over the spirit stones, give you teleportation talismans, and you can leave immediately. But the number of spirit stones won't be less, right?" The old man said slowly.

"Senior, rest assured, we have brought the spirit stones exactly as agreed." The brocade-clothed man stepped forward and said respectfully as well.

"You are fellow Daoist Yi. Indeed extraordinary cultivation!" The bald old man looked at the man a few times and said with a more polite tone.

However, when his gaze swept over the others and fell on Han Li, his face sank suddenly.

"Didn't you say seven people? Why is there one more? This fellow Daoist also seems to have reached the fake Core Formation realm; who is he?" The bald old man asked with a cold expression, full of questioning.

"He is..." The brocade-clothed man smiled bitterly, wanting to explain a few words.

"I am a loose cultivator, also wanting to teleport to the Outer Star Sea. Hearing that fellow Daoist Yi and the others have a way, I specifically came to them, hoping the two seniors won't blame me. And if the seniors are willing to accommodate, I am willing to pay double the teleportation fee." Han Li opened his mouth with a smile, interrupting the brocade-clothed man's words.

"Double the fee?" The bald old man was stunned, but then looked at another refined-looking middle-aged cultivator beside him.

"Even if you pay double the fee, it is useless. The teleportation array can teleport at most seven people at a time, and we will only open one teleportation array; we will never teleport one more time just for you. Otherwise, if the higher-ups check, it will be very difficult to hide." This middle-aged cultivator frowned slightly and said slowly.

"On this point, I have naturally considered it. I won't make it difficult for the seniors. So, can this fellow Daoist temporarily give up his teleportation quota to me?" Han Li smiled slightly, then turned to someone beside him and said unceremoniously.

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, the person was first stunned, then revealed an expression of astonishment.
