Chapter 384: The Death of Marquis Heyin, Zhao Xing's Harvest!

"I don't know what you are talking about..." Although Marquis Heyin was somewhat surprised, his expression was normal; he couldn't be bluffed by Zhao Xing's few words.

During the time he was talking to Zhao Xing, he also frantically ordered people to find out where this secret line Zhao Xing used to contact him came from.

Zhao Xing, a native of the Second Realm, what did he know?

Suspecting that he had found the Shadow Sacred Hall to issue an assassination mission, suspecting that he was the Dongyan Ancient Clan... these things must have been told by those big shots in the Purple God Prefecture.

Either Prefecture Lord Tianqi, or Fairy Yuqing, or Purple Moon... in short, Zhao Xing was just a front, used to test him.

Marquis Heyin didn't think Zhao Xing could know anything, or that Zhao Xing could make any decisions.

"You will know soon."

Zhao Xing said lightly, and then cut off the communication.

Marquis Heyin flew quickly to his staff mansion, where a huge organization was operating, and soon someone reported a piece of news.

"My lord, the one who invaded Zhiluo Boundary Star and forcibly opened the Zhou Tian realm to contact you should be 'Star Fire'."

"What?" Marquis Heyin was startled. "How could it be?!!"

Star Fire was the code name for the Red Star Empire's intelligence department in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, but the Red Star embassy would absolutely not admit it.

Our embassy, how could it plant spies?

"Only this is possible." The subordinate reported: "The Red Star's mechanical communication means are very clever, and the other forces in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom cannot do this."

"Red Star Empire..." Marquis Heyin associated many things in an instant, and then he was startled.

How could the Purple God Prefecture hook up with the Star Fire organization?

Even if it was just a line of communication, that wasn't something ordinary people could borrow.

"Impossible, Prefecture Lord Purple Moon couldn't possibly know anything. Even if that thing fell into his hands, he couldn't possibly see any clues..."

Marquis Heyin frowned, feeling that he had fallen into a trap.

He didn't dare to do anything, and immediately went to his secret base, wanting to ask for instructions from that pyramid.

However, as soon as he went out, he ran into his commander, who was exactly the Third Realm cultivator 'Moer' he had sent out to capture Zhao Xing.

At this time, Moer had long since recovered, and because he failed to handle things well, he no longer went on field missions and was sent by Marquis Heyin to patrol outside the boundary star.

Moer reported a strange thing to him:

"My lord, this morning, I led people to patrol outside Zhiluo Boundary Star, and in the outer layer of the boundary wall, we captured a low-grade Star Dao weapon."

Marquis Heyin stopped his steps; he knew his subordinate wouldn't report ordinary things casually.

Commander Moer was obviously also somewhat puzzled. He organized his language: "The Star Patrol Department doesn't know who threw it here, and Zhiluo Star's defense system didn't give a warning; no abnormalities were found..."

"Get to the point!" Marquis Heyin interrupted: "What did you find? You wouldn't be stupid enough to bring it back directly, would you?"

"No, my lord. That thing is still outside the boundary star, and we are scanning it; I didn't dare to bring it in casually."

Commander Moer hurriedly said: "It's a transparent box, and it says 'For Marquis Heyin's eyes only'."

A transparent box? Packed with a low-grade boundary star Dao weapon?

Moer continued: "The subordinate just used a scanner on the outside, didn't open it, but it's transparent, so the subordinate could see."

"What did you see?" Marquis Heyin asked with a dark face.

"It contains a deck of cards." Commander Moer's expression was somewhat strange. "Besides that, there was nothing else."

"What?" Marquis Heyin was stunned.

He pondered for a long time before saying: "Bring the thing back to me. Remember, no one is to open it."

"Yes."

Since it was just outside the boundary star, Moer only spent a few minutes going and returning.

Marquis Heyin held this transparent box and found that it really was just a boundary star Dao weapon, and the lowest grade at that.

He waved away his subordinates and opened the box.

Inside the box was a beautifully packed deck of cards.

Marquis Heyin immediately saw that although this object was made exquisitely, its grade was not high, and there was no danger.

It was just that he had never seen such a card box and cards.

Marquis Heyin hesitated for a long time and finally decided to pick it up and take a look.

"Hum~"

The card box glowed, and a figure appeared on it.

This was the appearance of Qing Yuzi. He had coincidentally obtained the trump card.

"All phenomena are ants, only I am supreme, suppressing heaven and earth."

"..."

Marquis Heyin was stunned for a moment.

Afterward, through the introduction in the card box, he began to study the Qing Yu cards while using one mind for two purposes.

By the time he came to his senses, he had also unknowingly walked in front of that pyramid.

Marquis Heyin was somewhat dazed.

Because the protection mechanism in his divine soul was triggered; he wasn't playing by himself just now, but playing with another divine thought in his divine soul.

"Elder." Marquis Heyin's voice was hoarse. "I..."

When he came to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom a long time ago, he was entrusted by Elder Dongyan Ma: "I have left a divine thought in your body. If I wake up, it means you have reached the moment of life and death."

Marquis Heyin had no idea why this was the case; he hadn't done anything, just received a communication and played a deck of cards, so how could he have reached the moment of life and death?

"Dongyan Zhen, your mission has failed." The voice echoed in Marquis Heyin's mind. "You failed once an era ago, and I sent you to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom to redeem your sins, but now you have failed again."

"Elder, I don't understand." Marquis Heyin's eyes were full of confusion; he didn't fear death, but he didn't want to die so unwillingly.

"I also have many things I don't understand." Elder Ma said, "Why would someone hide our plan in a joke."

"This is a deck of cards that hasn't been shuffled. Someone has already played half the cards and sent them over."

"He seems to know our secrets, and I suspect he even knows more than I do."

"The function of the holy object seems to be ineffective on him. The hidden chess game has appeared with a profound bystander; this must be related to the mistake an era ago, and it is even bigger than we imagined."

"Qing Yu cards, so that's it... Qing Yuzi is very likely a senior reincarnation practitioner, or even..."

"Now the Elder Council wants to correct the plan..." Elder Ma muttered to himself, his voice also filled with many puzzles.

"But first, you need to make a sacrifice."

Marquis Heyin couldn't believe it.

A profound bystander? Referring to Zhao Xing? Or Qing Yuzi? But wasn't Qing Yuzi dead?

Elder Ma's self-talk made Marquis Heyin fall into huge shock; his thinking was extremely chaotic, and he couldn't understand what was going on at all.

After all, this Dao Domain realm cultivator was just one link in the huge ancient clan, and he didn't know the overall situation.

His Dao Domain realm was achieved by accepting the 'dedication' of a Preaching Scholar.

However, he soon accepted his fate.

Because Elder Ma made arrangements for him, which were exactly the same as what Zhao Xing had said before:

"Before you die, contact the Shadow Sacred Hall and withdraw the assassination mission against Him."

"Yes." Marquis Heyin nodded respectfully; death was not terrible for him, as long as the ancient clan could regain its glory, he would have the possibility of being resurrected in the future.

This matter started because of him, and the mistake an era ago (1 era) led to many variables, so now it should be up to him to make up for it.

After Marquis Heyin finished talking with Elder Ma, he immediately contacted the Shadow Sacred Hall and withdrew the relevant mission against Zhao Xing.

Afterward, he cleaned up everything on Zhiluo Boundary Star, including that pyramid.

Marquis Heyin chose a very common way to die—breakthrough failure, qi deviation.

In order to minimize causality, Marquis Heyin first drove away all the personnel of other major forces stationed on the boundary star, in the name of seclusion.

Tianxing Martial Arts Hall, Yuanhai Hall, Taiyue Chamber of Commerce, etc.

After these people left, Marquis Heyin killed all the people on the entire Zhiluo Boundary Star, including his capable subordinates.

"Boom!"

Zhiluo Boundary Star had an explosion, and the entire small world was annihilated in the explosion.

This Dao Domain realm cultivator who came to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom an era ago died just like that.

Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, Purple Moon Star System.

"What. Marquis Heyin is dead?"

Prefecture Lord Purple Moon had just stepped off the boundary boat when he received a message.

"Yes, Uncle-Master." Mu Luo nodded: "He suffered qi deviation and destroyed himself. Before he died, he also killed all his subordinates and people. Only qi deviation could cause someone to do that."

"I just found something and was preparing to take action, and he died?" Prefecture Lord Purple Moon snorted coldly. "He died really coincidentally."

Prefecture Lord Purple Moon had spent a thousand years investigating Marquis Heyin and the forces behind him.

Although he suspected that Marquis Heyin was from the Dongyan Ancient Clan, he had no evidence and couldn't casually kill a Marquis of the Dao Domain realm conferred by the ancient kingdom.

The Dongyan Ancient Clan had clansmen living in all major ancient kingdoms. Without knowing how powerful the forces behind Marquis Heyin were and which branch he belonged to, he certainly wouldn't take action.

After spending a thousand years, Prefecture Lord Purple Moon confirmed that Marquis Heyin was just a small character with no big background. He was preparing to take action, but he didn't expect that Marquis Heyin would suffer qi deviation and die!

He couldn't imagine even if he was beaten to death that this matter could have anything to do with Zhao Xing, because in the eyes of Prefecture Lord Purple Moon, Zhao Xing was just an innocent victim caught in the middle.

"Suqin." Prefecture Lord Purple Moon said coldly, "Go and check if Marquis Heyin has any other relatives."

"Find them and kill them all!"

Prefecture Lord Purple Moon's hatred for Marquis Heyin was very strong. Now that Marquis Heyin was dead, the hatred in his heart had not been vented.

"Yes, Uncle-Master." Suqin nodded. Marquis Heyin was a Dao Domain realm cultivator; once he died, his backing fell. If Marquis Heyin had any relatives, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with them.

Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, north.

The leader of the Star Fire group, 'Ren Feng', was sitting cross-legged in an underground palace on a life planet. He was a Dao Domain realm cultivator and also the person in charge of receiving members of the empire who had needs.

Ren Feng was a Yin-Yang Dao Domain realm cultivator, and many Red Star Disks were placed in front of him. The fixed Red Star Disks connected various star systems of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, like a web.

Suddenly, an exquisite star disk in front of him moved, forcibly cutting in line, moving to the front position, and emitting rays of light. The light soon condensed into a phantom.

"White Sheep, what's the matter."

"Boss." White Sheep said: "A few days ago, you ordered me to lend a Star Fire communication channel to a royal family member. He sent a message to a Dao Domain realm cultivator of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, and then not long after, this Dao Domain realm cultivator died."

"Unnatural death?" Ren Feng frowned.

"The Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom official authorities judged it as qi deviation, self-destruction." White Sheep said, "But this Marquis Heyin's background is not clean; it might involve something."

"I know." Ren Feng nodded. "You don't need to worry about it."

"Yes." White Sheep nodded and disappeared.

Ren Feng pinched his fingers and then took the initiative to contact Jing Yan.

"Group Leader Ren." Jing Yan's figure appeared on the star disk.

"Jing Yan, your times in Star Fire are used up." Ren Feng said, "Don't come to me for ten thousand years."

"Group Leader Ren." Jing Yan screamed: "Didn't I pay money? I donated 10 million Red Star Coins to Star Fire as expenses! Just borrowed the usage permission of an encrypted communication, why does it involve my Star Fire permission?"

"You used our channel to send a message to a Dao Domain realm cultivator, and then that Dao Domain realm cultivator committed suicide not long after." Ren Feng said angrily, "Fortunately, he was judged as a normal death, but do you think this 10 million counts as money? Star Fire cannot be easily involved in the conspiracies of local forces."

"What?" Jing Yan was also stunned, but he reacted quickly. Because there was room in Ren Feng's words!

"Group Leader Ren, I've caused you trouble, I'll donate another 10 million." Jing Yan said.

"This is not a matter of money."

"20 million!" Jing Yan gritted his teeth. If his Star Fire permission was frozen, he wouldn't be able to mix around the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom; he wouldn't have any guarantee!

"Transfer it within ten years." Ren Feng said, "Remember to be clearer next time."

"Good, good." Jing Yan accompanied him with a smiling face and nodded.

After cutting off the communication, Jing Yan's face immediately collapsed.

"Bullshit involvement!"

"Just think the money is too little!"

Jing Yan cursed.

Because of the empire's regulations, it was difficult for Ren Feng and the others to make money outside. To put it into their private pockets, they could only earn some extra money like this. Of course, they couldn't bring trouble to the organization.

But just borrowing a communication channel, what trouble could there be? Was Star Fire afraid of this? It was purely wanting more money.

30 million Red Star Coins, Jing Yan certainly couldn't afford it.

However, this money was all paid by Zhao Xing, so he wasn't worried; he knew Zhao Xing had made a lot of money over the years.

"Brother, Star Fire wants more money." Jing Yan said.

"How much more?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Add 20 million." Jing Yan said.

"I'll pay." Zhao Xing nodded. He certainly knew the rules of Star Fire.

It stood to reason that Star Fire wouldn't do things for outsiders at all, which was because Jing Yan had such permission. What did spending some money count for?

Regardless of whether people were relaxed or not, to borrow a channel from Star Fire, one had to spend a lot of money.

And if he didn't take the Red Star path, he couldn't achieve the effect he wanted at all.

Zhao Xing immediately transferred 35 million to Jing Yan, 5 million of which was a benefit for Jing Yan.

"Marquis Heyin is dead." Jing Yan looked at Zhao Xing.

Since the news of Marquis Heyin's death hadn't spread yet, Star Fire was the first to get the news.

"He is the Dao Domain realm cultivator you offended before?"

"Not bad." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Brother." Jing Yan couldn't help but feel suspicious. "Your path is too wild!"

He now also knew that Zhao Xing was communicating with Marquis Heyin.

Then, Marquis Heyin suffered qi deviation.

Jing Yan subconsciously felt that Zhao Xing couldn't be separated from this matter.

However, he couldn't figure out how Zhao Xing did it.

"Are you really ascended from the Desolate Domain, and have you really been to the empire?"

Jing Yan felt that Zhao Xing was becoming more and more mysterious.

"Don't ask, brother." Zhao Xing said, "I can't say, and I don't want to make up any reasons to lie to you."

"It's okay, if you can't say it, forget it." Jing Yan waved his hand. Everyone has secrets, and he wasn't from the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, so he just asked casually and was too lazy to care about what happened here.

Countless loves and hatreds happen every day in the universe, and he didn't have such strong curiosity.

"Your relationship with Star Fire is quite hard." Zhao Xing asked.

"That's for sure. I'm wandering in the universe alone; if I didn't have some forces and background, wouldn't I have died long ago?" Jing Yan laughed. "If I run into a war, I'll be dead."

"How many more times can you use this line?"

"There's only one free one left." Jing Yan held up a finger. "Extra ones cost money, but Star Fire isn't an underground organization. Even if you pay them to do things, it must conform to the empire's interests, or at least not destroy the empire's interests before you can ask them to do it."

"As for what things can conform to the empire's interests, this matter must be analyzed specifically."

Zhao Xing nodded. If he settled down in the future, the Red Star Empire would be a good choice. Getting on this line, having one more path and one more way to live, spending some money was nothing.

"Marquis Heyin is dead." In the Yellow Sand Prefecture mansion, Du Yun frowned. "Qi deviation, self-destruction."

"That's good, the Purple God Prefecture has one less enemy."

Marquis Heyin had a grudge with Qing Yuzi under Prefecture Lord Purple Moon, so he was also an enemy of the Purple God Prefecture.

It was just that he couldn't imagine even if he was beaten to death that this matter could have anything to do with Zhao Xing. After all, in the eyes of Prefecture Lord Purple Moon and Du Yun, Zhao Xing was just an innocent victim caught in the middle.

"Withdrawn?" In the public star sea area, Weijiu was waiting for the next opportunity to take action, but he didn't expect someone from the Dark Hall to contact him and withdraw this mission.

"Yes, this mission is terminated." The black-robed phantom said. "According to the regulations, the employer withdraws the mission, but the reward already paid will not be returned, and the Dark Hall will pay you the remuneration in full."

Employer withdraws, money won't be returned.

It's equivalent to Weijiu getting 150 billion for nothing, and he didn't have to lose his deposit.

"Good, good, good." Weijiu was overjoyed.

He analyzed it carefully; the difficulty of completing the mission within the mission period was very high.

After all, the first strike didn't hit, so it would be very difficult to have vigilance the second time.

Weijiu had already prepared to lose his deposit and reduce the mission success rate.

But he didn't expect the situation to turn around, and the Dark Hall actually withdrew the mission.

"I am really lucky." Weijiu was happy. "It seems the Illusion God Star System is my blessed land; I must stay here for a while longer and try my luck."...

After Marquis Heyin died, everyone was happy.

Breakthrough failure, qi deviation, this matter is not rare in the universe, and he was soon forgotten, not causing any waves at all.

The most popular topics in the ancient kingdom were still the Illusion God Star System, Yueluo Mausoleum, and the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly.

Zhao Xing came to another base of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom—Tianji Star Continent.

"Tianji King is a Life Dao Domain realm cultivator. He sits here, relying on the perfect ring continent array and the starry sky fortress, and his defense capability is pulled to the full; even a Reincarnation realm cultivator cannot kill him."

"This point has been verified when the eighteen ancient kingdoms had friction earlier."

Zhao Xing looked at the magnificent Tianji Hall in the distance; that was the residence of the Tianji King.

"I will find a residential area here to wait."

Marquis Heyin was dead, but he hadn't cleared his causality with the Dongyan Ancient Clan yet.

Please... you... collect_()

Now Zhao Xing was waiting for the other party to complete this process.

One year after Marquis Heyin died.

"Hum~"

Invisible great power passed over the starry sky above Zhao Xing's head.

Zhao Xing had a sense, and the soul in the Three Gods Life Palace opened its eyes.

Heavy illusions appeared in the eyes of the life soul, and he saw a tall and majestic figure standing on an ancient star continent.

In the middle were countless void rivers, and Zhao Xing and this figure looked at each other from afar.

"It's here."

Zhao Xing's three souls lit up for the first time.

This is a profound causality communication, a means for strong people to chat over long distances.

This method is a relatively private communication means, so there will be a river separating them when chatting.

Of course, this method can be turned into an attack means at any time.

However, if the other party crossed the long river to attack, the Tianji King would know.

The majestic figure stared at Zhao Xing, but his eyes were very strange, as if someone was standing behind Zhao Xing.

A moment later, he conveyed a vague intention:

"Qing Yuzi, your causality with my clan started from Chenluo; it was you who crossed the line first."

Because it was too far away, it took Zhao Xing a while to understand.

He didn't respond for a long time, but the other party was also very patient.

This great power of the Dongyan clan also knew that he couldn't kill Zhao Xing, because in his heart, Zhao Xing now was the reincarnation of Qing Yuzi, and a senior reincarnation practitioner.

What is a senior reincarnation practitioner? That is to actively reincarnate, just to prove the Dao and become a god!

Those who dare to actively reincarnate must have the certainty of cultivating again, and have already had successful experience, so of course they dare not underestimate him.

"The Dongyan Ancient Clan has no intention of hindering your Great Dao."

"Now that Dongyan Zhen is dead, is the fellow Daoist willing to stay out of it and clear the causality?"

"If people don't offend me, I won't offend people." Zhao Xing was like a robot without feelings, finally saying the first sentence: "I will leave the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom within a thousand years."

Getting this reply, the strong man of the Dongyan clan nodded slightly.

The situation now was that Qing Yuzi held the handle of their Dongyan Ancient Clan, but after Qing Yuzi understood, he didn't dare to say it out.

Once he dared to do so, he would have to face the endless assassination of the Dongyan Ancient Clan.

The Dongyan Ancient Clan didn't want to have any more accidents.

Qing Yuzi was not important to him, as long as he didn't hinder the Dongyan Ancient Clan.

Marquis Heyin's original approach actually had no problem. If Qing Yuzi (Zhao Xing) was just an ordinary genius, then of course it would be most appropriate to capture him, take back the holy object, and then kill him to silence him.

Now it won't work, because Zhao Xing (Qing Yuzi) really has something!

From that unwashed deck of cards, the Dongyan Ancient Clan saw a lot of information, and it was precisely this information that was recognized by the elders of the Dongyan Ancient Clan as Qing Yuzi (Zhao Xing) being a senior reincarnation practitioner!

Everyone originally had no big grudges, and no conflict of interest. Since they were at the same level, willing to reconcile, of course it was best.

"Can the fellow Daoist return the holy object of my clan?" The strong man of the Dongyan clan still wanted the thing back.

Although they found a substitute after losing it an era ago, the substitute was never as good as the original.

"We can have an exchange."

"You hindered my cultivation for a lifetime, and still want to take it back?" Zhao Xing smiled lightly.

In fact, he still didn't know what the holy object of the Dongyan clan was.

He wasn't really the reincarnation of Qing Yuzi, but was completely misleading them by substituting one thing for another.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhao Xing put away his smile; he was pretending now, so he had to pretend to the end.

"I am only in the Third Realm now. If I give you the thing, what I say will be arrogant words, with no evidence."

"Then you can take the opportunity to kill me... do you think I, Qing Yuzi, have only been mixing in the universe for a day?"

"Maintaining equal deterrence, we can have peace between us."

"That thing of your clan doesn't touch causality, so even if it's with me, it can clear the causality."

The strong man of the Dongyan clan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"As you said, my Dongyan Ancient Clan swears by our ancestors that from now on, the causality with fellow Daoist Qing Yuzi is cleared, and we will never interfere with each other."

Zhao Xing also said: "I, Qing Yuzi, swear by reincarnation to prove the Dao that from now on, the causality with the Dongyan Ancient Clan is cleared, and we will never interfere with each other, and I will leave the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom within a thousand years."

The oath basically had no binding force, just buying insurance.

Whoever really breaks the contract has no cost at all, it just depends on how high-level the Earth God Pill is.

What really maintains this oath is that Zhao Xing is afraid of the endless pursuit of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, and the Dongyan Ancient Clan is afraid of Zhao Xing shaking out their conspiracy.

Reaching the oath, the only benefit is that the moment someone breaks the contract, both sides will sense it.

Sensing it, the other party can immediately take countermeasures.

"Hum~"

A causality line in the Three Gods Life Palace broke.

The trade has been reached.

The heavy illusions before his eyes disappeared, and Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

He was sweating slightly, but fortunately, after obtaining the willpower divine ability, there was no fluctuation throughout

The Three Divine Life Palaces plus the Killing Thought Blade allowed Zhao Xing to perform deep-level concealment. If the opponent were standing right in front of him, that might be a different story.

"I have been in the universe for a thousand years. From the perspective of the powerful, the Dongyan Ancient Clan is about to launch their plan immediately."

"Logically speaking, the Dongyan Ancient Clan probably won't create extra trouble at this time," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "But I still need to be extra cautious. I must find out what that holy object is as soon as possible."

Zhao Xing still did not know what he had taken from the Dongyan Ancient Clan; he was operating entirely based on his knowledge from his previous life.

In other words, he currently had no credible evidence, because what the Dongyan Ancient Clan was about to do sounded as absurd as claiming on Earth that the world was going to end.

It was impossible for any big shot to believe it unless he could produce concrete evidence.

"There are only thirteen hundred years left until the time node when I entered the universe version in my previous life. With time so close, the destruction of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom is likely irreversible," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "I should go as far away as I can."

On the other side, in the deep void river of the cosmic starry sky, a pyramid drifted through the dark river; influenced by the void, it appeared pitch black.

Beside this largest pitch-black pyramid, there were countless smaller pyramids.

After finishing their conversation, the powerful figures of the Dongyan Clan also consulted with Elder Ma and the others.

"Although we have reached an agreement with Qing Yuzi, such a large variable has appeared in our layout, so we must launch the plan as soon as possible," Elder Ma said with concern. "Furthermore, Qing Yuzi possesses the original holy object. If he remains in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, it may have an impact. Even if we let him go, there will be endless trouble."

"Leave? He cannot leave," the powerful figure from the Dongyan Clan who had communicated with Zhao Xing said indifferently. He wore the attire of a Fate Master, with stars above his head and the sun and moon beneath his feet.

"Qing Yuzi has indeed seen some things, but what he knows is merely the tip of the iceberg."

"How could the 【Fate-Determined Game】 that our clan spent several epochs laying out be affected by him?"

"He thinks he is a bystander, but in reality, the moment he knew, he had already entered the game."

"Correct." Another imposing figure with a powerful aura sat on a throne. His entire body exuded a cold aura, as if countless figures were standing beside him:

"Everyone in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, including the Yuanhai Sovereign, will become offerings! How could a Qing Yuzi who has not yet recovered his cultivation escape the 【God-Sacrificing Tablet】? His name is already on the God-Sacrificing Tablet; he is merely delaying his death now."

"Qing Yuzi is just a minor problem. The priority now is to gather the remaining scrolls of the 【Xuanling History Book】 as soon as possible," another Dongyan Clan powerhouse spoke. His voice seemed to come from the past, and he was not physically present; various scenes from the past appeared above his head, appearing extremely chaotic.

"Once we obtain the 【Xuanling History Book】, the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom will disappear forever after its destruction and will not be remembered by anyone."

"......"

The elders of the Dongyan Ancient Clan soon began discussing other important matters.

On the other side.

After finishing, Zhao Xing planned to leave the Tianji Star Continent and return to the Hutou Star Continent.

"Brother Zhao, you're leaving already? You've only stayed for a little over a year." Cen Qionghua, Le Yao, and Yu Tianqing came to see Zhao Xing off.

Zhao Xing had come to the Tianji Star Continent under the guise of visiting friends.

Now, Cen Qionghua and Le Yao were both at the perfection of the Second Realm, and Yu Tianqing had even reached the Third Realm.

Having been separated for several hundred years, the three of them had accumulated a large amount of wealth in a short time by relying on the rule of "slay the viper, the tomb array appears."

Since the three of them were not lacking in talent and had obtained a large amount of resources, their improvement was quite rapid.

Of course, Yu Tianqing was purely talented; he had not hired any preaching scholars, yet he still completed the leap from the Second Realm to the Third Realm.

"I just came to sit for a while," Zhao Xing laughed. "I have things to do back home."

"What could you possibly have to do? Besides cultivating, it's just more cultivating," Cen Qionghua shouted. "I beg you, stop practicing. Seeing that you've already reached the Third Realm, my heart aches, brother."

"Huazi, you're too real," Le Yao teased. "Speaking the truth through a joke?"

"Hahaha."

Le Yao turned to look at Zhao Xing again: "Brother Zhao, the situation in the Yueluo Mausoleum is complex now and exploration has become fraught with difficulties. You should relax a little."

Even Yu Tianqing nodded. He wasn't agreeing about relaxing, but rather that the danger coefficient of the Yueluo Mausoleum had increased, and many people were waiting at the logistics base for the situation to ease before going in.

"Sure," Zhao Xing said. "One day, let's go visit Tianqing's hometown and take our families on a trip."

"It's a deal then," Cen Qionghua said. "Don't go practicing in secret again."

"Definitely!"

Upon returning to the Humeng Star Continent, Zhao Xing set about preparing for the migration of the Great Zhou.

After paying the fees for the Starfire Group, he still had over fifty billion Yuanhai coins.

Now that he was in the Third Realm, whether in terms of strength or wealth, it was more than enough to migrate a small World-Star level dynasty like the Great Zhou.

"Che, starting this year, recall everyone from the Great Zhou and begin preparing the migration plan," Zhao Xing said. "Then have Liu Tianning take a mission to the Huanshen Star System and bring you all over."

A thousand years had passed, and Liu Tianning had also become a Source Realm cultivator, having returned from the 【Tianxing Continent】 30 years ago.

Now, Old Liu was at the perfection of the First Realm. In the entire Great Zhou, besides himself and Yun Tiandao, only Liu Tianning, Venerable Zigu, Xia Jing, and Ji Che were in the Source Realm.

Zigu had broken through 180 years ago, and Xia Jing had broken through 150 years ago, at which time Zhao Xing was in Nanluo.

This fellow Zigu had also encountered intimidation and arrest operations by the Marquis of Heyin, so after breaking through, he tried every possible way to linger in the Tianqi Star System, stubbornly refusing to go out to take missions, preferring to do unpaid tasks instead.

"Big Brother, are we really leaving?" Ji Che was a bit hesitant. After a thousand years of development, the Great Zhou was already on the right track.

They were no longer losing money, profits exceeded expenditures, and with Liu Tianning also breaking through to the Source Realm, everything was developing in a good direction.

Zhao Xing naturally understood Ji Che's thoughts; they had just found stability, and now they had to run away again.

The shadow of the Xingxian Pass was still fresh in his memory; at the time, Ji Che and the others had been terrified while staying at the 'Star of Hope'.

"We must leave," Zhao Xing said.

"Alright," Ji Che said. "I will go make the arrangements."

The Great Zhou rented the Qinglian World-Star, and they were not citizens of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

Currently, only Xia Jing, Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning, and Yun Tiandao were citizens of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom; even Ji Che had not obtained this citizenship.

After making the arrangements, Zhao Xing waited quietly on the Hutou Star Continent.

He exchanged all his Yuanhai coins into Red Star coins.

Even so, during the waiting period that followed, he still had a steady stream of Yuanhai coins coming in.

This was because the information he had reported to Cang Yu over thirty years ago was gradually being confirmed.

"Zhao Xing, you are now a Third-Class Marquis," the Cang Yu envoy appeared in Zhao Xing's rented area. "You can have a permanent mansion on the Hutou Star Continent for free; there is no need to rent a house anymore."

"You can also mobilize an army of one thousand to ten thousand soldiers to serve as your temporary guards. In these armies, the lowest rank is the Second Realm, and they have all been trained in combined attack arrays."

"At the same time, you enjoy a 20% discount on purchases at the Yuanhai Palace, and your tax rate will also be reduced to a certain extent."

"I've become a Marquis?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected that the information he reported would actually push him all the way to the position of Marquis!

Zhao Xing glanced at his account; it actually exceeded one trillion Yuanhai coins! Even when converted into Red Star coins, that was 2. billion! This was entirely the net worth of a Five Elements Dao Domain Realm expert!

"What is my title?" Zhao Xing asked. A Marquis of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom would be granted a title. Although he didn't care, since he hadn't left yet, this title still had its benefits.

"Marquis of Wuling," Cang Yu smiled. "Because in the list you provided, we unearthed five royal tombs of Third Realm Great Supernatural Power experts. This was the greatest contribution."

Zhao Xing nodded. Mausoleums were exclusive to the royal family, and Great Supernatural Power Realm experts generally possessed the wealth of a Dao Domain Realm expert, let alone those of the royal family.

Even if he only received 10%, it was still a terrifying profit.

Legends of getting rich overnight were everywhere in the Huanshen Star System, and now Zhao Xing had become one of them.

"Congratulations, Marquis of Wuling," Cang Yu congratulated him, even though Zhao Xing did not have the strength of a Dao Domain Realm. But to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, Zhao Xing's current contribution was equivalent to that of a Five Elements Dao Domain Realm expert.

"You can now accept some relatively easy missions," Cang Yu said. "You can even recruit loose cultivators from those large dynasties to build your own force, and you will receive a certain commission from the wealth acquired by your subordinates."

"I don't have that plan for the time being," Zhao Xing shook his head. Recruiting loose cultivators and building a force? It wasn't that simple; there were too many twists and turns, and even training personnel was difficult.

If one just did it casually, for example, if the recruited loose cultivators joined but had a high mortality rate without any benefits, it would be easy to ruin one's reputation and even violate the laws of the Ancient Kingdom.

If it were for long-term development, Zhao Xing would certainly have ways to think of, such as telling Le Yao, Cen Qionghua, and Yu Tianqing to let them go make money; that would be better than taking risks himself.

Spending time to accumulate was also a considerable income, but he had no intention of developing in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom at all.

The only consolation was the growth of his wealth.

2. billion Red Star coins; that was enough to hire an assassin to kill a Dao Domain Realm expert. Of course, that was on the condition that he could contact the Shadow Sanctuary.

It was just that the cost of immigration wouldn't cost that much money, and Zhao Xing didn't have any trouble on his hands. Now that he wanted to go to the Red Star Empire, he only needed to solve two things.

First, leave the Zishen Mansion.

Being a member of the Zishen Mansion should be easy to handle. Zhao Xing didn't have deep feelings for the Ziyue Mansion Master, nor did he inherit Qing Yuzi's wealth. Spending some money to part on good terms shouldn't lead to the abolition of his Purple Light Eight Epochs divine ability.

Second, leave the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

As the Marquis of Wuling, he had both rights and constraints, which made this slightly more troublesome.

But now that Zhao Xing had money, this was not a problem either.

"Jing Yan, when are you returning to the country?" Zhao Xing asked. "I'll go with you."

"Me? Let's wait and see the situation here," Jing Yan said. "A place like the Yueluo Mausoleum is rare and hard to find."

"I want to take the dynasty from my hometown to settle in the Red Star Empire," Zhao Xing said. "Any leads?"

"Find Starfire, become their peripheral member, and perform meritorious service," Jing Yan said. "It's not hard to say it's hard, but it's not simple either. Money alone won't work; permanent residency in the Red Star Empire is much harder to get than in a place like the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."

"If I can dig out a World-Boat at the level of a Source Divine Weapon from the Yueluo Mausoleum and take it back to the Empire for research, do you think that would work?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Hahahaha," Jing Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. "No need to be so exaggerated; one at the level of a Solar Dao Weapon would be enough, but are you dreaming?"

Zhao Xing smiled slightly and didn't mind Jing Yan's mockery.

A World-Boat with well-preserved craftsmanship, and at the level of a Solar Dao Weapon, did indeed sound like a fantasy.

"You can dream even bigger than that."

"Like the Tianji King, digging out an Imperial-level plant."

"Or finding a Dao-Integration cultivation technique."

As he spoke, Jing Yan himself was amused, clutching his stomach and laughing out loud.

Zhao Xing was just about to curse him for having eyes but failing to see greatness.

However, at this moment, he received a message from Liu Tianning.

"Zhao Xing, I have arrived at the Hutou Star Continent," Liu Tianning said.

"So fast?" Zhao Xing was slightly stunned.

"Yes, the Ziyue Mansion Master and the Yuqing Mansion Master have also come."
