Chapter 555: Who is Wang Jianqiang?

Xuanyi looked at the three of them with a beaming smile.

"To dare to murder a Dahuang Immortal Palace Student, you Star Palace people truly have great courage."

Hearing Xuanyi's words, the three of them stiffened.

The Star Lord secretly gritted their teeth, looked up at Xuanyi, and said, "Senior, this matter has nothing to do with the Star Palace."

"It was this junior who, out of selfish desire, secretly sent people to murder the Dahuang Immortal Palace Student."

"This junior is willing to pay with their life, hoping Senior will spare the Star Palace."

Xuanyi glanced at the Star Lord indifferently, "Do you take me for a three-year-old child, so easy to deceive?"

"Do you believe that if I use just a little bit of effort, I could even know what color underwear you are wearing today?"

The Star Lord's expression stiffened, "Senior, please calm your anger."

Xuanyi ignored the Star Lord and looked up at the sky, "Since you have arrived, then come out."

After Xuanyi's voice fell.

A refined man flashed out from the sky.

"Master!"

Seeing this man, the Star Lord hurriedly bowed in greeting.

Beside him.

The two Riyue Tai shangzhanglao had a flash of awe in their eyes and nodded.

The Star Palace has three great Supreme Elders in total.

Although they are all Supreme Elders like the other party, there is a huge gap in strength.

Xuanyi's gaze lingered on the refined man for a moment, and his expression shifted, "Void Perfection, potential not yet exhausted, with a sliver of a chance to step into the Great Vehicle."

"You are quite good."

"Many thanks for Senior's praise."

The refined man descended before Xuanyi, folded his hands forward, and bowed deeply to Xuanyi, "Junior Lan Feng pays respects to Senior Xuanyi."

"Oh? You know me?"

Xuanyi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

The refined man smiled, "This junior studied under Tianyunzi and was the final disciple taken in during Master's later years; I once had the fortune to hear some news about Senior from Master's own lips."

"So you are Tianyunzi's disciple."

Xuanyi nodded.

Tianyunzi was the Star Lord of the Star Palace ten thousand years ago.

He could be considered a contemporary of his.

His talent was superb, and he originally had the opportunity to break through to Major Accomplishment.

But precisely because his talent was too great, he was heavily targeted by enemies in that battle ten thousand years ago.

Although he did not fall, he suffered heavy injuries that were difficult to recover from.

His future was completely ruined, and he died in depression.

Never did he expect that before his death, he would actually take in a disciple with such remarkable talent!

"Senior, this junior is currently the person in charge of the Star Palace."

"Since people from the Star Palace have committed a wrong, this junior cannot escape responsibility, so let this junior give Senior an explanation."

"I only hope that Senior can look at the face of an old friend and spare the Star Palace."

"The entire Star Palace will certainly not dare to offend again."

Lan Feng cupped his hands and bowed to Xuanyi once more.

Throughout the process, his expression remained calm and composed.

He did not panic or worry because of Xuanyi's power, and when he spoke of taking the blame for the Star Palace, he did not show the slightest hesitation or unwillingness.

Xuanyi glanced at Lan Feng indifferently, "What if I insist on destroying the Star Palace?"

Lan Feng took a deep breath and looked directly at Xuanyi, "The Star Palace is the lifeblood of Master and many predecessors of the sect; if Senior must destroy the Star Palace, although this junior knows I am no match, I cannot live a cowardly life."

After speaking.

He seemed to transform into a star, and dazzling Star Radiance erupted from his body.

The Star Radiance swept past the Star Lord, the two Riyue Tai shangzhanglao, and the further away Yunhan and the Great Elder.

It was like a gentle breeze brushing against their faces.

In an instant, it teleported the five of them away.

Yet, when it shot toward Xuanyi, it displayed astonishing power.

Wherever it passed, it was as if the heavens and earth were being reshaped.

It was as if he controlled this space, carrying the momentum of heaven and earth, surging toward Xuanyi like a tidal wave, covering the sky and earth.

Xuanyi pointed a finger.

An invisible force rippled forward like water waves.

Wherever it passed, the momentum of heaven and earth was annihilated.

The Star Radiance dissipated completely.

In an instant.

The Star Radiance between heaven and earth vanished entirely.

After annihilating all the Star Radiance in front, that invisible force did not pause in the slightest and surged through Lan Feng's body.

Lan Feng's figure trembled, and he knelt to the ground.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and his aura instantly weakened to the extreme.

"Although you are already very close to the Great Vehicle Stage."

"But having not crossed this line, it is the difference between clouds and mud."

Xuanyi looked at Lan Feng and said expressionlessly.

Lan Feng stood up tremblingly and sighed, "Senior, please proceed."

Xuanyi shook his head.

"The rules of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace were set by me; if your Star Palace dares to break them, you must bear the consequences."

"However, you are indeed a rare talent..."

"Now that the Great Tribulation is approaching, all available strength must be gathered."

"I can spare the Star Palace once."

Hearing Xuanyi's words, a glimmer of joy finally appeared on Lan Feng's previously calm and indifferent face.

He bowed deeply to Xuanyi, "Many thanks, Senior!"

Xuanyi shook his head, "Don't be happy too early; if you want me to let the Star Palace go, you need to agree to two conditions."

After speaking, he seemed to think of something, coughed dryly, and changed his words, "Four conditions."

Lan Feng did not care about these details.

As long as the Star Palace could be preserved.

Never mind four conditions, even if it were ten or twenty, it would not matter to him.

He nodded, "Senior, please speak."

Xuanyi smiled, "First, when the Great Tribulation of this realm arrives, the entire Star Palace must participate in the battle, and you must charge at the very front line."

Regarding the Great Tribulation in Xuanyi's words, Lan Feng was very clear; it was undoubtedly the renewed invasion by the Cultivators Outside the Realm.

To this, he did not hesitate in the slightest and nodded in agreement.

Resisting the Cultivators Outside the Realm is the responsibility of every Cultivator in this realm.

Even if Xuanyi had not said it, he would have done so.

Seeing Lan Feng agree so readily, the appreciation in Xuanyi's eyes grew a little deeper.

He continued, "Second, before the Great Tribulation arrives, your cultivation must break through to the Great Vehicle Stage."

Lan Feng's expression stirred, and he nodded.

Then he bowed to Xuanyi once more, "Many thanks, Senior."

He was not stupid.

These two conditions of Xuanyi seemed to be making things difficult for him.

In reality, they had no impact on the Star Palace or himself.

If the Great Tribulation arrived and he could break through.

It would naturally be good, as he could both preserve the Star Palace and protect this world with a stronger stance.

If he could not.

With the Star Palace charging at the front line, the chance of survival would be almost non-existent.

It would be impossible to escape the outcome of annihilation.

Xuanyi smiled and continued, "Third, hand over one hundred drops of Star Spirit Original Liquid."

Lan Feng's expression faltered.

"What? You are unwilling?"

Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.

"Senior has misunderstood."

Lan Feng gave a bitter smile, "This junior is not unwilling, it is just that... currently in my Star Palace, only twenty-four drops of Star Spirit Original Liquid remain."

Xuanyi's heart stirred.

Star Spirit Original Liquid is formed when a powerhouse of the Star Palace is near the end of their lifespan by condensing their own Soul Origin.

It has extremely high requirements for the condenser's cultivation and their attainments in Star Astrology.

The difficulty of forming the liquid is great.

It possesses the effect of cleansing the Soul and extinguishing distracting thoughts.

The Star Palace is no longer as prosperous as it was in ancient times.

It is normal for the inventory of Star Spirit Original Liquid to have decreased.

Thinking of this, he smiled, "Twenty-four drops it is, then."

Lan Feng nodded, "Many thanks, Senior. Next is the fourth condition; please instruct me, Senior."

Xuanyi pondered for a moment and said, "The entire Star Palace must follow the instructions of Wang Jianqiang until Wang Jianqiang leaves the Ancient Star Domain."

"Wang Jianqiang?"

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Lan Feng revealed a look of bewilderment.

"Senior, this junior can agree to your fourth condition."

"It is just..."

"Who is Wang Jianqiang?"
