Chapter 1443: with translation of chapter title

These past few days, our conflict with the Eternal Life Sect has intensified! Surely, upon entering the Ancient Star Void Mine, another fierce battle awaits. Remember, upon entering, anyone you see from the Eternal Life Sect, or their subordinate forces, the Ascending Heavens Sword Sect, the Zheng Clan—see them……kill them!

Upon hearing this, Hei Long, Ye Xiao, and the others all froze.

How did their Deep Abyss lineage suddenly become so strong?

You must know that in previous clashes with the Eternal Life Sect, their Deep Abyss lineage was always at a disadvantage, mostly choosing to temporarily avoid the enemy's sharpness.

This time, they actually dare to act tough!

"Now that's more like it."

Lu Xuan's voice sounded out faintly.

He naturally hopes the Strange Clan and the Eternal Life Sect will slaughter each other; the fiercer they fight, the more beneficial it is for humanity.

An idea brewed in Lu Xuan's mind: "When the time comes, after Fang Yuan joins the Eternal Life Sect, perhaps we can provoke a war between the Eternal Life Sect and the Strange Clan."

Blackrock Elder and the others probed the direction from which the sound came, seeking Lu Xuan's aura, but found nothing.

"As expected, the Dao Protector of Ming possesses heavenly-reaching strength."

They actually cannot probe its aura.

This is not something achievable merely by having an extremely strong concealment technique; it is obvious that the Dao Protector's power overwhelms them.

Soon, Blackrock Elder gave up probing and turned again to Xuanji Holy Lord and the others: "After we enter this time, you must quickly locate the position of our Strange Clan's experts and awaken them; that will give us a huge advantage. This time, even if you bury all of the Eternal Life Sect and its subordinate forces, we will back you up!"

"These past days, that expert has sent out word: he is being restrained by human experts, but he possesses a Dao Fruit-grade Spiritual Weapon, allowing him to contend with human experts."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan frowned slightly.

This Strange Clan Spiritual Weapon might be the "Gu Soul Banner"!

It is exactly the item the system task stresses that Bai Li must obtain!

Ye Xiao suddenly asked, "Elder, there are also human experts inside the Ancient Star Void Mine; how should we deal with them?"

Blackrock Elder spoke with the air of having victory in hand: "That human force was previously mostly a subordinate of the Hehuan Sect; after the Eternal Life Sect enters, they will surely be made to submit. The Hehuan Sect and the Eternal Life Sect are like fire and water, and besides, they are ancient sword cultivators with proud, unyielding bones—how could they join the Eternal Life Sect?"

"Therefore, according to my speculation, the Eternal Life Sect will refine them, refining them into gu creatures. Thus we must quickly find our clan's experts and seize the initiative!"

Ye Xiao and the others let out a sigh of relief.

They certainly did not want to face an Ancient Sword Cultivator expert!

"Good. Tomorrow we will join forces with the Eternal Life Sect to open the Ancient Star Void Mine! Go rest first! We will meet tomorrow!"

Blackrock Elder waved his hand and said.

Numerous evildoers and Xuanji Holy Lord scattered in all directions.

The next day.

Blackrock Elder's voice echoed throughout the camp: "Gather here within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and prepare to set out!"

Ye Xiao, Hei Long, and the others all stepped into the air and rose.

Xuanji Holy Lord, wearing a purple robe, her jade feet moving gracefully, also stepped into the air and rose toward the rendezvous point.

Lu Xuan continued to conceal his form together with Yang Xuan, staying close to Xuanji Holy Lord.

Yang Xuan secretly marveled, "My master is too powerful; after staying in the Strange Clan's base for so long, they actually never detected my presence!"

This time, upon entering the Ancient Star Void Mine, he must absorb a great deal of sword resonance to raise his cultivation!

The more, the better!

His cultivation is still too weak now!

Blackrock Elder looked at Ye Xiao and the others, saying, "After you enter the Ancient Star Void Mine, if Ming needs help, you shall protect her."

Ye Xiao and Hei Long exchanged a glance, inwardly sneering, yet respectfully said on the surface, "That is only natural. Ming is a rare evildoer of our Deep Abyss lineage; we naturally……"

Before he could finish, Xuanji Holy Lord calmly said, "No need."

This time, the master will enter together with her.

What need does she have for protection?

By the master's side, that is absolutely safe!

The faces of Ye Xiao, Hei Long, and the other evildoers instantly darkened.

Blackrock Elder's face twitched, but he couldn't say much, after all, Ming is just like that.

However, that Dao Protector cannot enter; surely that senior gave Ming some life-saving measures.

"Set out!"

Blackrock Elder flicked his sleeve, and a huge black cloud vessel appeared, its form ferocious like a vicious beast, exuding an aura of death, exhaling endless black mist, looking extremely terrifying.

Xuanji Holy Lord and the others immediately stepped into the air and boarded the cloud vessel.

The black cloud vessel shot forth in the void; wherever it passed, it tore heaven and split earth, revealing a long, deep abyss, with strange power surging in waves.

Several hours later.

The huge cloud vessel crossed the void and descended near the fissure of the Ancient Star Void Mine.

At this moment, the people of the Eternal Life Sect also arrived.

"Eternal Life Sect!"

"Ascending Heavens Sword Sect!"

"Zheng Clan!"

The cloud vessels of these three forces likewise crossed the void, each bearing its own huge flag on board, which, buffeted by the void's gale winds, emitted a mighty "whoosh-whoosh" sound; moreover, standing solemnly on the vessels was the stone statue of the Eternal Life Sect's forefather, eyes lowered, like an ancient deity, enduring through the ages.

Upon seeing the Strange Clan's cloud vessel, the evildoers of the three forces all revealed killing intent in their eyes.

After all, Elder Mogu had ordered that all Strange Clan members entering the Ancient Star Void Mine this time be exterminated!

They sneered inwardly, "They're just a bunch of doomed men!"

Many Dao Void Realm cultivators gazed at Xuanji Holy Lord; she wore a purple robe, her white hair fluttering, standing atop the cloud vessel's pavilion, like a hermit apart from the world, seeming out of place among the other Strange Clan, bearing a look of contempt for all beings.

Someone from the Zheng Clan said, "This woman is indeed peerlessly beautiful and talented—what a pity she is a Strange Clan!"

Wang Kun snorted, his spirit sword emitting a buzzing sound as he stared fixedly at Xuanji Holy Lord, "This woman is indeed stunning, but do you know... women only affect my sword-drawing speed!"

Zheng Feng, the monstrous scion of the Zheng Clan, smiled, "You bastard, you just don't know how to enjoy yourself. If this woman were human, I would surely pursue her! I never expected the perpetually ugly Gu Tribe to produce such peerless beauty?"

"I won't object to that," Wang Kun laughed heartily.

They turned their gaze to the other Gu Tribe monsters, each one hideous-faced, with ugly features, pockmarked skin, their bodies oozing pus or strange liquids.

Not even fit to be called a misshapen melon!

"This is a flower growing in dung—too bad it's poisonous!" Zheng Feng gave a lewd smile.

Soon.

Elder Mo Gu flicked his sleeve, issued the order, and had everyone step onto the cloud boat.

On the other side, Elder Heiyan likewise stepped onto the cloud boat.

Numerous monsters stood towering in the void, neatly arrayed.

The younger generations of both sides exchanged a glance, the chill and killing intent in their hearts plainly visible.

Elder Heiyan looked at Elder Mo Gu, "Let's jointly open the Ancient Starry Sky Mine. Then we'll have them help each other!"

Elder Mo Gu gave a heh laugh, "Back when we cooperated, after entering the Ancient Starry Sky Mine, we naturally helped each other!"
