Chapter 556: The Wager Has Only Just Begun

For the past thousand years, Lan Feng has been almost entirely in secluded cultivation.

He has ignored worldly affairs and not participated in the business of the Star Palace.

The reason he was able to arrive here this time.

Was only because he sensed the aura of the Star Token and temporarily emerged from seclusion.

He followed the auras of the Star Lord and the two Supreme Elders to track them down.

Naturally, he had never heard of Wang Jianqiang.

And he knew even less about Wang Jianqiang enslaving the Great Star Envoy or the Star Lord ordering people to deal with Wang Jianqiang.

Therefore.

Only after hearing Xuanyi mention this name was he so bewildered.

Hearing Lan Feng's inquiry, Xuanyi shook his head and said indifferently, "Want to know who Wang Jianqiang is? Why not just ask that Star Lord of your Star Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Feng nodded thoughtfully.

With a shift of his intent.

An invisible force spanned the void, teleporting the five people who were waiting anxiously a hundred miles away to his front.

After the five appeared, they first bowed to Xuanyi with faces full of awe, then looked at Lan Feng.

"Greetings, Master."

"Greetings, Supreme Elder."

The Star Lord, the Great Elder, and Yunhan bowed one after another.

The two Riyue Tai shangzhanglao followed closely by nodding in acknowledgment.

Lan Feng's gaze swept over the five, and finally, his attention settled on the Star Lord.

After some questioning.

He finally learned the cause and effect.

Afterwards.

His gaze flickered, and his thoughts began to turn.

Xuanyi was actually acting as Wang Jianqiang's bodyguard, following Wang Jianqiang here!

To be able to make a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator value him so much, that Wang Jianqiang is definitely no ordinary person!

As for the other party enslaving the Great Star Envoy.

This matter might not be a bad thing for the Great Star Envoy.

Perhaps...

It is actually a stroke of fortune!

Thinking of this.

He said to the five, "Senior Xuanyi is magnanimous and has decided not to pursue the Star Palace's responsibility any further."

Upon hearing this, the five were pleasantly surprised.

Then, realizing what it meant, they bowed respectfully to Xuanyi one after another.

Afterwards, Lan Feng ordered the Star Lord to go retrieve the Star Spirit Original Liquid.

Upon hearing that all of the Star Palace's Star Spirit Original Liquid had been taken by Xuanyi, the Star Lord felt pained, but dared not show the slightest hesitation.

He returned to the Star Palace at top speed and brought back the Star Spirit Original Liquid.

After handing the Star Spirit Original Liquid to Xuanyi.

Lan Feng looked at the Star Lord, "From now on, until Wang Jianqiang leaves the Ancient Star Domain, you must not make things difficult for Wang Jianqiang in the slightest; furthermore, strictly execute every order from Wang Jianqiang."

"Including you, the Star Lord, and including the two Riyue Tai shangzhanglao."

"Even..."

"Including myself."

Hearing Lan Feng's solemn instructions, the Star Lord and the two Riyue Tai shangzhanglao looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

After Lan Feng finished arranging everything, Xuanyi nodded in satisfaction.

He pointed at Yunhan and said with a smile, "Very good. Now, except for this little friend, you may all leave."

Hearing Lan Feng's words.

Yunhan's expression suddenly stiffened.

Elsewhere, his Integration Mid-Stage cultivation would already count him as a big shot.

But here.

He was just a small fry.

The Great Elder, the Star Lord, and the Supreme Elders.

In terms of status, in terms of strength...

The Great Elder, the Star Lord, and the three Supreme Elders were all above him.

Why did this Great Vehicle Stage big shot have to pick on him?

This was also...

Too bullying, right?

Seeing Yunhan's worried face, Xuanyi smiled, "Don't worry, little friend. Keeping you here is just to have you cooperate with me; nothing will happen."

Hearing this, Yunhan let out a long sigh of relief.

Just then, Xuanyi's voice came again, "Of course, that is provided you can cooperate with me well. If you cannot satisfy me, then that is hard to say."

Yunhan's face stiffened again, and the heart he had just set at ease hung back up.

"Elder Yunhan, since Senior Xuanyi wants you to stay, then you shall stay."

"Remember, you must obey any instructions from the senior; otherwise, even if the senior doesn't kill you, the Star Palace will not spare you."

Lan Feng glanced at Yunhan.

Yunhan felt a chill in his heart.

He nodded heavily, "Supreme Elder, rest assured."

Yunhan nodded.

He then looked at Xuanyi, handed a Jade Pendant to Xuanyi, and said respectfully, "Senior, you may give this Jade Pendant to Wang Jianqiang."

"If there is a need, crush this Jade Pendant, and I will be able to arrive immediately."

Xuanyi took the Jade Pendant.

"This junior will take his leave."

Lan Feng cupped his hands toward Xuanyi, his figure flashed, and he disappeared.

After he left.

The Star Lord, the two Riyue Tai shangzhanglao, and the Great Elder of the Star Palace also cupped their hands toward Xuanyi, then left via Instant Movement.

Following the departure of the five people.

Within this heaven and earth.

Only Xuanyi and Yunhan remained.

Yunhan looked at Xuanyi's back, feeling immense pressure in his heart.

The next moment.

Xuanyi turned to look at Yunhan and said with a smile, "Little friend, the moment to test your acting skills has arrived."

"You must accompany me in a performance."

……

After Xuanyi chased after Yunhan and left.

The Great Star Envoy had been observing Wang Jianqiang's expression.

Seeing that Wang Jianqiang had been calm and composed from beginning to end.

After a moment of hesitation.

She finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you not worried at all?"

"Why should I be worried?" Wang Jianqiang shrugged.

The Great Star Envoy frowned, "Since that Instructor is your entire reliance, aren't you afraid that he will be killed by the Star Palace experts, and then you yourself will fall into a desperate situation?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

"As you said, my reliance is that Instructor; as long as he is alive, I will not encounter danger."

"He isn't dead yet, so what am I worried about?"

"I can worry after the Instructor kicks the bucket."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the Great Star Envoy was speechless.

What Wang Jianqiang said...

It really made a lot of sense.

She actually had no way to refute it.

She shook her head.

She did not speak again.

She was just preparing to close her eyes and continue meditating.

A faint ripple of Spiritual Power suddenly came from the distant horizon.

Her expression shifted.

She looked up.

Immediately.

Two figures appeared in her field of vision.

Seeing those two figures.

She couldn't help but frown.

It was that Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Instructor, and...

Elder Yunhan!

At this moment, Elder Yunhan was honestly following behind that Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Instructor, his clothes tattered and his aura weak.

Elder Yunhan... seemed to have been captured!

Star Palace Cultivators, regardless of their combat power, are all very skilled at self-preservation.

With Elder Yunhan's ability, even when facing an Integration Late Stage Cultivator.

Relying on Astrology, there is a high probability of escaping.

Yet this Great Wilderness Immortal Palace Instructor actually captured Elder Yunhan, who is of the same level!

His strength is truly astonishing!

"How is it?"

Just then, Wang Jianqiang's voice reached her ears.

She looked at Wang Jianqiang, who was looking over with a smile.

Her expression was calm.

"Among the elders of the Star Palace, Elder Yunhan's strength can only be considered average."

"Although Elder Yunhan has been captured, the news must have already been sent back to the Star Palace, and more powerful Star Palace experts will arrive soon."

"Our wager has only just begun; to be so pleased with yourself now..."

"... is far too early."
