Chapter 54 Taking Actions on Extreme Yin Island
The Star Palace governs twenty-four outer star islands and twelve inner star islands.
The Star Palace appoints island lords for these star islands in two ways.
The island lords of the twelve inner star islands are appointed within the Star Palace, and are mostly from the families to which the Star Palace elders belong.
The island lords of the twenty-four outer star islands are chosen through a "Star Picking Tournament" held every hundred years in Tianxing City, where challenges and selections are open to the public, and the final winner becomes the island lord.
Elder Gu and Elder Miao of Kuixing Island obtained their positions as island lords through the "Star-Picking Assembly".
Whether there was any behind-the-scenes manipulation during the selection process remains unknown.
At this moment, in a sea area far from Tianxing City.
The green maple concealed its presence, hiding in the seawater.
"They're here."
Qingfeng activated the array plate in his hand.
At the edge of his divine sense, Zhao Zheng and the caravan of that young master Jia had already entered the range of the Starry Nine Palaces Formation he had set up.
After leaving the city, he used his speed advantage to reach this sea area first, where he set up a magic array and laid an ambush.
According to information gathered at the auction, this sea area is the only route that Young Master Jia can take back.
At this moment, Zhao Zheng, who had already entered the formation, vaguely sensed that something was wrong and reduced his escape speed.
"What's wrong, Elder Zhao?"
Young Master Jia sat in his carriage, looking at Zhao Zheng outside with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing, it just feels a little off."
Zhao Zheng frowned and used his divine sense to scan the surrounding sea area, but found nothing.
"Haha, Elder Zhao is too cautious. This is the sea area under the jurisdiction of Tianxing City. No one would be so foolish as to dare to hijack the Jia family's caravan that is flying the Star Palace flag."
Young Master Jia smiled confidently.
Zhao Zheng is quite the actor; he not only offered to escort me but also pretended to be very dedicated.
He really wants to improve.
"Yes, what Young Master Jia said makes sense. I was overthinking it."
Zhao Zheng nodded awkwardly.
Indeed, who would dare attack the Star Palace's convoy?
Taking action against them would mean offending the authority of the Star Palace and the Jia family.
"Now."
Qingfeng put on the same mask as Wu Chou, activated the Blood Refining Divine Light from the "Mysterious Yin Technique," and suddenly burst out of the sea from beneath the surface.
While creating a huge splash of water, it activated the trapping formation within the Starry Nine Palaces Formation.
A dense, blood-red aura instantly emanated from his body, enveloping him completely.
Only a burly figure and a pair of scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen.
"This road is blocked! You lot, leave everything you have on you! Understand?"
Qingfeng, mimicking the accent of the cultivators from Jiyin Island, threatened Young Master Jia and the others.
"Bold demonic cultivator! I am Zhao Zheng, a special envoy of the Star Palace under the command of the Sixth Elder of the Star Palace."
This is Elder Jia's grandson. You dare to kidnap us? You're asking for trouble!
Zhao Zheng's expression changed, and he summoned his Golden Cauldron natal magic weapon, shouting fiercely.
He had sensed something was wrong earlier, but he never expected that a demonic cultivator would actually dare to defy the authority of the Star Palace.
"I will naturally show some respect to the Star Palace, but that's only out of respect for the two saints."
You, and all of you, are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs; how dare you represent the constellations?
Qingfeng directly quoted what Wu Chou had said on Kui Xing Island.
"You! You're a madman!"
Zhao Zheng channeled his spiritual power into his Golden Cauldron magic weapon, which was his natal magic weapon.
Although he didn't have many offensive methods, the demonic cultivator he was facing was also at the early stage of Core Formation.
Even if you can't beat the opponent, you can hold them off for a long time.
Once the Tianxing City direction discovers the magical fluctuations here, they will definitely send people to investigate. At that time, this demonic cultivator will have no chance of escaping.
"Young Master Jia, please calm down. Watch me take down this demonic cultivator!"
Zhao Zheng flew forward, ready to show off in front of his new master.
However, in that short time, the Starry Nine Palaces Formation had already raised its trapping barrier, surrounding everyone.
"Not good! Quickly form a protective formation to protect the young master!"
The Foundation Establishment guards quickly formed a battle formation, protecting Young Master Jia within it.
Young Master Jia also summoned his top-tier defensive artifact, releasing a defensive shield.
The opposing demonic cultivator was only one person, while his side consisted of Foundation Establishment stage guards, but he still possessed a talisman treasure.
"Elder Zhao, go ahead and take him. I have my own defenses."
Young Master Jia flew out of the carriage, holding a talisman in his hand, ready to lend a helping hand at any moment.
But before he could finish speaking, the surrounding space suddenly twisted and changed, and starlight appeared.
Then, an invisible pressure descended, rendering them unable to move. It was Qingfeng who used the "Nine Palaces Star Formation" to trap and bewilder the enemy.
"A bunch of Foundation Establishment cultivators, just stay put in the magic array."
Qingfeng used a magic array to first control Young Master Jia and his group, then locked his divine sense onto Zhao Zheng.
He remembered this old man very clearly; the other party had always been interested in the Miaoyin Sect.
"You! You!"
Seeing how powerful the magic array the other side had set up was, Zhao Zheng panicked.
"What do you mean 'you'? Go to hell!"
Qingfeng, carrying a dense aura of bloodlust, charged directly at Zhao Zheng, completely disregarding the natal magic weapon in front of him.
As Zhao Zheng watched the burly figure shrouded in bloody aura rushing towards him, he quickly activated the Golden Cauldron magic weapon!
"go!"
The cauldron shone with golden light, growing to a size of about ten feet, and pressed down on Qingfeng.
"Your golden cauldron is well-made; I'll take it!"
A hoarse, ferocious voice came from within the bloodlust.
Without dodging or avoiding, his right arm suddenly swelled up, muscles bulging, and with a whooshing sound, he slammed his fist hard into the golden cauldron.
"clang--!"
The impact produced a deafening roar, and the sound waves, mixed with violent energy, spread outwards.
"puff!"
Zhao Zheng's face turned deathly pale instantly, his mind reeling, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The sturdy natal magic treasure, the Golden Cauldron, was actually struck by this punch, causing its golden light to dissipate and it to fly back.
"Impossible! You...your physical body..."
Zhao Zheng's eyes were filled with horror.
This is hardly the physical strength a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation should possess.
Its entire body exudes a demonic aura; it's practically a monster!
However, Qingfeng had no intention of letting him go.
The bloodthirsty figure approached Zhao Zheng like a ghost.
Qingfeng's body was surrounded by surging crimson aura, and there seemed to be flowing blood light under his skin, which was part of the Blood Refining Divine Light spell.
His right hand, with its sharp, hook-like fingertips, reached out to grab Zhao Zheng with a chilling aura.
Zhao Zheng was terrified and hurriedly summoned the Golden Cauldron to protect himself. At the same time, a silver inner armor appeared on his body, radiating spiritual light, with layers of protective spiritual light overlapping.
"Fellow Daoist, stop! You are a cultivator from Extreme Yin Island, aren't you?!"
"Let's talk this out! I am a special envoy of the Star Palace. If you kill me, the Star Palace will relentlessly hunt you down! Even the Extreme Yin Island can't protect you!"
Zhao Zheng retreated frantically while shouting at the top of his lungs.
He had no will to fight left and only wanted to stall for time.
This place isn't too far from Tianxing City. Such intense fluctuations in magical power and the sounds of fighting will inevitably attract the attention of high-level cultivators in the city sooner or later.
"Heh, this is how we on Extreme Yin Island have always done things! You disagree? Go tell the Extreme Yin Ancestor! Die!"
A disdainful sneer echoed from within the blood-red aura, and Qingfeng uttered the final word "death," his killing intent surging toward Zhao Zheng like ice.
