Chapter 412: Subduing Star Fall City

Xingzhou.

Within the Starlight Mountain Range.

A spatial rift suddenly appeared.

Ye Qingxuan's long-dormant clone, the Mysterious Merchant.

Led Luo Tian and Ye Qingshuang out of the Starlight Cave Realm.

No sooner had they emerged than Luo Tian took a deep breath and exclaimed excitedly:

"Finally out."

Having cultivated inside the Starlight Cave Realm for all these years had really stifled him.

Looking at the Mysterious Merchant, Luo Tian asked curiously:

"City Lord, where are we going now?"

"The Central Region!"

Inside the dantian of his external clone, a realm of spiritual power had likewise been carved out.

Ye Qingxuan's clone, the Mysterious Merchant.

He directly activated the Great Dao Script of the Minor Divine Art: Spatial Leap.

In Ye Qingshuang's calm eyes, a rare flicker of emotion surfaced.

She simply wondered how the Ye family was faring.

Relying on the Minor Divine Art: Spatial Leap at the Minor Success stage.

For now, she had no right to refuse.

She certainly could not foolishly rely on her own flight.

He gave the two no chance to react.

Hearing their destination, Luo Tian was somewhat surprised and muttered to himself:

Unlike ordinary clones, which can only briefly unleash combat power at the Cave Void realm.

After leaving Dongxuan City.

Yet in the end, she said nothing.

With a single step, his figure vanished.

Having received the other's cultivation method and resources, she must serve him for three thousand years.

Ye Qingxuan's external clone had secretly departed Dongxuan City.

After speaking.

However, before departing.

Beside him, Ye Qingshuang also frowned, her lips twitching slightly.

Dongji Domain, Star Fall Province.

Ye Qingxuan's external clone prepared to visit Star Fall City.

He swept up Luo Tian and Ye Qingshuang and sped directly toward Xingzhou Provincial City.

Gazing toward the direction of the Ye family.

When they reappeared, they were already above Star Fall City.

He had already reached the threshold of the early stage of the Empty Void realm.

Preparing to head to Dongjizhou, the most prosperous region of the Dongji Domain.

After leaving this clone behind to guard Dongxuan City in his stead.

"The Central Region?"

When raising his cultivation base to the Cave Void realm.

An external clone's cultivation base synchronizes with the original body.

In a single breath, it could traverse a distance of ten million li.

Heading to the Central Region.

Upon Mount Wanling in Dongxuan City.

Using a teleportation array was the best choice.

It could be regarded entirely as another spare body of his.

"For no good reason, why go to the Central Region?"

At this moment, the clone arranged by Ye Qingxuan.

Ye Qingxuan's external clone.

"Let's go!"

Had already crossed the World Gate and descended upon Mount Wanling in Dongxuan City.

The speed of Ye Qingxuan's external clone matched that of his original body.

Gazing down at Star Fall City, Ye Qingxuan spoke softly:

"Xing Zejun, come forth and meet this Seat!"

With spiritual power amplifying his voice, it instantly spread throughout the entire Star Fall City.

It stirred a wave of unrest among the city's residents.

However, Ye Qingxuan paid no attention to the residents within Star Fall City.

His gaze remained fixed on the City Lord's Mansion of Star Fall City, his eyes utterly calm.

In the next instant, a mighty aura surged straight into the clouds from within the City Lord's Mansion of Star Fall City.

A ethereal voice emanated from the City Lord's Mansion:

"Which fellow Daoist descends upon my Star Fall City?"

As the words fell.

Xing Zejun's figure appeared not far from Ye Qingxuan.

The moment he saw Ye Qingxuan.

A trace of shock surfaced in Xing Zejun's eyes, and he spoke instinctively:

"Dongxuan City Lord? Is it you?"

After confirming the aura surrounding Ye Qingxuan.

Xing Zejun was even more shocked as he said:

"You, you have broken through to the Void Penetration realm? This, how is this possible?"

The last time he saw this City Lord of Dongxuan City.

His cultivation base had not even reached the peak of the Soul Transformation realm.

How could he possibly break through directly to the Void Penetration realm in such a short time?

Moreover, no new Void Penetration tribulation phenomena had been seen in Star Fall Province.

So now, upon seeing Ye Qingxuan's external avatar.

Xing Zejun's heart was filled with both shock and confusion.

Facing Xing Zejun's shock and confusion.

Ye Qingxuan had no intention of explaining, nor did he plan to delay any further.

He spoke directly with a cold, expressionless tone:

"You once attacked my Dongxuan City. Now, I give you two choices."

"One: fight me, be slain by me, and Star Fall City shall vanish forever."

"Two: lead Star Fall City to become a vassal power of my Dongxuan City, offering seventy percent of Star Fall City's revenue."

As Ye Qingxuan's words rang out.

The rules of the Five Elements Dao behind him began to gather and circulate.

They gradually formed a massive millstone, covering the entire Star Fall City.

A destructive aura accompanied by death.

Instantly descended upon Xing Zejun and Star Fall City.

Under the pressure of this aura.

Cultivators throughout Star Fall City continuously felt fear arise in their hearts.

Even as fear enveloped their bodies and minds.

Extreme fear made them lose all thought of fleeing.

High in the sky.

Watching the Five Elements millstone condense behind Ye Qingxuan.

The proud Xing Zejun felt a tremor in his heart.

For the first time, he sensed the crisis of death within that millstone.

Facing the choices Ye Qingxuan had given.

Xing Zejun fell silent for a moment.

Finally, he looked at the city inherited by the Xing family for tens of thousands of years.

He slowly lowered his head, clasped his hands in a bow, and said:

"Xing Zejun pays respects to the Dongxuan City Lord!"

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly:

"Very well, then!"

Having spoken, Ye Qingxuan's figure vanished.

Since Xing Zejun had already submitted.

And he only demanded seventy percent of Star Fall City's revenue.

Xing Zejun would naturally not violate today's agreement before he regained the power to resist.

So after subduing Star Fall City.

Ye Qingxuan did not waste any more time on Star Fall City.

Above Star Fall City.

Only Xing Zejun's figure remained.

On Xing Zejun's lowered face, a trace of bitterness inevitably appeared.

Originally.

He had arranged everything.

Preparing to leave the Dongji Region for the Eastern Region.

Who would have thought.

A single wrong thought from the past.

Had caused this bitter outcome today.

Sensing Ye Qingxuan's departure, Xing Zejun slowly raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

The oppressive pressure Ye Qingxuan brought was simply too great.

After calming down.

A trace of hesitation appeared in Xing Zejun's eyes.

Star Fall City, as the supreme power of Star Fall Continent with a heritage spanning tens of thousands of years.

Its foundation is naturally not so simple.

The lifespan of a Void Penetration Realm cultivator reaches over fifteen thousand years.

Some Void Penetration Realm cultivators born in Star Fall City over these tens of thousands of years have not yet died.

It is not only Star Fall City.

Other supreme powers in Star Fall Continent with long-standing lineages are all the same.

This was the reason why, when he first broke through to the Void Penetration Realm, he did not destroy the other supreme powers.

However, under normal circumstances.

Void Penetration Realm cultivators who have already left the Eastern Extreme Domain.

Will not easily intervene in the affairs of Star Fall Continent unless their own faction faces life or death.

After witnessing the heavens and earth of the Eastern Domain.

Temporary victories and struggles for interests within Star Fall Continent.

Can no longer stir the hearts of these Void Penetration Realm cultivators.

But handing over seventy percent of Star Fall City's revenue to Eastern Profound City like this.

Lord Xing Ze also felt somewhat unwilling.

Weighing the matter for a moment.

Lord Xing Ze returned to a secret chamber within the City Lord's Manor.

He took the events of today and their causes and consequences.

And, through a secret treasure, transmitted the information to an elder ancestor of the Xing family far away in the Eastern Extreme Domain.
