The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 167 Conspiracy, Lo and Godwin's Actions

Then, Ao Hong laughed.

"What this place probably has the least shortage of is demonic energy."

Qin Hao didn't find it surprising that Tianlian Valley possessed magic treasures for refining.

Within the Dao of Heaven, everything is a balance of Yin and Yang.

Where there is life, there is death; where there is yin, there is yang.

The demonic path has a restraining effect on the Taoist sect and even on all cultivators.

The power of Buddhism and Taoism is helpful in subduing demons.

The Taoist sect possesses methods for subduing demons, which is not unacceptable.

However, advancing to the next level of the Demon-Slaying Order is not so easy.

In the early stages, besides slaying demons, you can also absorb demonic energy to advance in rank.

After reaching the top-tier spiritual weapon level, to upgrade it to a treasure weapon level, you will need the corresponding treasure refining techniques.

Qin Hao, as a true disciple of Tianlian Valley, has already learned this.

Even so, advancing to the level of a treasure artifact is extremely difficult.

The required amount of demonic energy is far too great.

Moreover, one should not consume too much at once in a short period of time, as this could lead to indigestion.

"Take it slow. It seems the great calamity of the Qianyang Realm has already begun. What follows may be dangerous."

Qin Hao was confident that he could protect himself amidst such a calamity.

However, it would be somewhat impossible to include all relatives, including the Anyuan Earl's Mansion, as well as the Pengze Lake Dragon Palace.

"We need to strengthen this further."

Having chosen a direction, Qin Hao strode off.

It seems slow, but it is actually very fast.

During the process, some of the demonic soldiers he encountered were directly rotated by the five elements and five energies around him, which dispelled the demonic energy protecting him.

Then the Demon-Slaying Order comes and kills directly, absorbing demonic energy and slowly improving the quality of the Demon-Slaying Order.

Ao Hong was not impatient; there were a great many demons in this secret realm.

But most of them are at the level of demon soldiers.

However, even demonic soldiers only start at the second level of the first realm.

Many of the demon soldiers have reached the strength of the third level of the first realm.

The squad leader had already reached the second realm of strength.

"It is said that the entire demon race is a soldier, and it is indeed true."

Qin Hao wasn't worried. The strongest person here was only at the commander level, which was the third realm.

There might be demon generals above that level, but none of them would reach the fourth realm.

Otherwise, sending these geniuses in wouldn't be a cleansing operation, but rather a suicide mission.

But the Demon General should also be at the peak of the third realm.

Even an ordinary genius would probably be unable to handle it.

However, the rules within this secret realm have also been affected to some extent.

The teleportation points are all random.

For example, when Ao Hong was introduced, he was immediately surrounded by a group of demon soldiers.

If he hadn't been quite skilled and reacted quickly, he probably would have been injured.

Of course, those who dare to come in and wipe out the demons.

They are all geniuses.

This kind of reaction is also a basic operation.

As he walked, Ao Hong's ears twitched, and he heard the sounds of fighting not far away.

"They're all in? Well, I've been in here for half a day already, so even if the others are slower, they should all be in by now."

Ao Hong suppressed his own power fluctuations and headed towards the direction from which the sound came.

Qin Hao didn't actually intend to launch a sneak attack; he was just checking on the others.

The opponent was also quite strong, employing a variety of magical treasures.

The Demon Slayer Order is quite effective against demons, but that doesn't mean it's always necessary to use it.

For others, the commonly used magic weapon might be more convenient.

For them, the Demon-Slaying Token is a tool to eliminate demonic energy, prevent their magical artifacts and themselves from being tainted by demonic energy, and record the number of demons they have slain.

When Qin Hao arrived, the battle was already over.

He hid to the side, only glanced around, and then planned to leave.

"It's someone I know."

It was none other than Suo Qianqiu, the leader of this group, who had contacted him earlier and greeted him on behalf of the Prince of Daixian.

As a top-tier sect, the disciples of the Autumn Water Sect are extremely powerful.

It's normal that they were able to quickly kill these demon soldiers, including two squad leaders.

Those who can enter are all the best of the new generation, and the cultivation level of the second realm is a must.

I don't know how Suo Qianqiu and the others managed to get together, but they've already gathered four people in such a short time.

Killing the thirty-odd demon soldiers led by two squad leaders was not difficult.

Just as Ao Hong was about to leave.

Suo Qianqiu spoke up: "Since you're here, why not come out and greet me?"

Ao Hong was taken aback; his ability to become invisible was a talent of the Seven-Colored Dragon.

It integrates its own Yin-Yang and Five Elements power into the surrounding environment.

He was confident that even the best of the third realm would not be able to detect it.

Unless it has extremely strong perception or is a treasure with excellent detection capabilities.

How did Suo Qianqiu discover him?
Or are you trying to trick me?
Ao Hong remained silent and took no action.

But Suo Qianqiu seemed certain that there were people around, so he ordered his fellow disciples to spread out and deal with the surrounding demon soldiers.

And here I am, seemingly about to brew tea for my guests.

Ao Hong has great patience, and besides, he didn't come here to watch on purpose; he just happened to bump into it.

No need to think too much.

A moment later, a cloud of black mist enveloped the area, and a person dressed in a black robe appeared in the spot.

"Demon?"

Ao Hong frowned, but the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qi around his body became even smoother, striving not to reveal any trace of his aura.

He wanted to see what Suo Qianqiu and the demons had to talk about.

Moreover, behind Suo Qianqiu is the wise king.

Was it the wise king's order, the Qiu Shui faction's order, or Suo Qianqiu's own idea?
Did his three former fellow disciples know about this?
The man in black robes looked around and nodded. "It seems you do keep your word. However, this is not the place to talk..."

"Of course I know, I'm ready. It's just a matter of whether you dare to come." Suo Qianqiu was full of confidence, as if he wasn't talking to a demon leader.

He was talking to an ordinary person.

Indeed, this is a demon leader at the third realm.

Moreover, he watched as Suo Qianqiu's fellow disciples cleared out the demon soldiers on the perimeter, yet he turned a blind eye.

The two went directly into a cave not far away.

Ao Hong's heart skipped a beat, and she stopped in her tracks, which she had originally intended to follow.

"Forget it, whatever they're plotting. It's none of my business, but it seems this calamity is indeed raging."

"Is there someone within the human race actually colluding with the demon race?"

Ao Hong didn't know what this wise king really meant.

However, he wasn't worried, as it wasn't uncommon for there to be traitors within the human race.

Humans are the most intelligent of all races, and countless heroic deeds have emerged to defend against foreign enemies.

But where there is yin, there is also yang.

At the same time, there are also quite a few pro-CCP individuals.

Some of them pretended to be guides but were actually undercover agents.

"I just don't know what this wise prince is planning."

Ao Hong did not follow them in; Suo Qianqiu would never fail to take precautions against such a thing.

That was only because they hadn't established trust with each other yet, and they had just entered this Cangling Secret Realm.

Next, when they enter the cave, they will definitely take some precautions.

If one is not discreet in handling matters, one is easily tempted to lose one's integrity.

Inside the cave, the man in black robes and Suo Qianqiu entered and each released their array flags, which enveloped the cave.

Subsequently, the change subsided and seemed to have remained unchanged.

However, as long as someone enters the area covered by the formation, regardless of whether they are invisible or not, they cannot hide from the two people.

The man in the black robe turned around, and a pair of sharp horns, faintly visible from under his hood, were extremely eye-catching.

Inside the main hall, Qin Hao frowned.

His expression was noticed by everyone in the Fourth Realm present.

But they didn't pay any attention to it.

After a moment's thought, Qin Hao reported this information to Master Yunhua.

He didn't have much contact with this master.

But on their first meeting, the other party accepted him as an apprentice and gave him great benefits.

That single Yuanpin Pearl is something that can only be encountered by chance and is extremely rare.

On their second meeting, he gave her a piece of gold thread.

This is part of the Golden Thread Treasure.

They are currently in the process of integration.

He felt that after the fusion was complete, the third world would anchor more quickly, which would undoubtedly speed up his cultivation.

Moreover, he distributed fifteen Demon-Slaying Orders to himself.

But it was the best batch of those Demon-Slaying Orders.

Generally speaking, these are magic weapons that have just been upgraded to spirit weapons.

What Qin Hao received were all magic treasures that were close to mid-grade spiritual artifacts.

This good stuff is naturally meant for acquaintances.

Since that's the case, Qin Hao naturally had to report the news after receiving it.

However, just in case, Qin Hao first reported to Master Yunhua that he had important intelligence to report.

Master Yunhua was momentarily taken aback, but then nodded.

Qin Hao felt himself being surrounded and enveloped by a power, which should be the power of Master Yunhua.

This main hall is close to being a Dao artifact, and it also belongs to the magic treasure of True Man Yunhua.

You can transmit your voice from inside it without worrying about being overheard.

Unless the opponent's strength has reached a precipitous level.

The only realm capable of overwhelming the fourth realm is the Immortal Realm.

There should be no fairyland in the Qianyang Realm.

Apart from the special case of Nan Hua Dao Ren.

"What exactly happened?" Master Yunhua asked.

He didn't think Qin Hao was making a mountain out of a molehill. What secrets could a mere second realm possibly hold?
Although the master and apprentice did not have many opportunities to meet, they had already established trust on their first meeting.

Qin Hao said, "My clone Ao Hong entered the secret realm and witnessed a rather interesting scene. I saw Suo Qianqiu of the Qiushui Sect meeting with a demon. Hmm, before entering, he even sent me a telepathic message, saying that the Prince of Daixian was sending me his greetings."

"what?"

Even Master Lian Yunhua was slightly taken aback.

The other fourth realms also seem to have discovered something.

However, it seemed that Master Yunhua was talking with his disciple and didn't say much.

Master Yunhua quickly regained his composure and then transmitted his voice, saying, "I already know about this matter. You don't need to worry about it. I will report it to my senior brother, the sect leader. Well, if it is verified, you will receive a great deal of merit."

After a pause, Master Yunhua said solemnly, "As the Demon-Suppressing Grounds in various places reach the time when they need maintenance, there will likely be many such incidents. A great calamity is about to begin, so we must be cautious in our actions."

"I understand, Master."

After reporting to Master Yunhua, Qin Hao pondered for a moment and then uploaded the message to the Xiaoyao Cave's network.

The Chunyang Sect usually doesn't concern itself with matters of the imperial court.

But since it concerned the demon race, he naturally had to report it.

That matter is now settled.

Qin Hao's true spirit returns to the world of Swallowed Star.

Something important is about to happen here as well.

Tai'a is Qin Hao's magic weapon. Through Tai'a, Qin Hao can observe some situations around him.

In addition, Qin Hao retrieved the F-class spaceship from his future self, the Qianwu PTXD36052120021212521X, which was a gift from the Illusionary Butterfly King.

The smart home assistant can transmit images in real time.

The Golden Thread Treasure has not yet been fully fused.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the point representing the third world has expanded considerably.

"In a little while, we should be able to make contact." At that moment, a spaceship arrived in the Cuilang Starfield.

Looking at the planetary system before him, Hong said, "This is the Beth asteroid cluster. The members of the Fire Phoenix Group live on these planets. Where should we go first?"

Godwin said bluntly, "Go straight for the heart of the enemy, control Pansy first."

Our mission for this trip is to first obtain the storage ring from Pansy.

As for punishing the Fire Phoenix Group, that's secondary.

Their mission is to retrieve something; as for whether they will be exposed?
Two peak Realm Lords killing a third-tier Realm Lord—would there really be a problem?
As for the others, we'll consider them after we've completed the main tasks.

Luo nodded. As a retainer, he naturally obeyed orders.

Well, if you encounter someone who isn't powerful enough, then naturally the one who makes the offerings gets to decide.

But this Master of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion?
Although it is only stellar in size, its background is extremely strong.

Moreover, they possess extremely high qualifications and have unlimited potential for the future.

Luo's advancement also depends on Qin Hao.

Therefore, Luo would naturally obey Qin Hao's orders.

“I remember the intelligence said that Pansy lives on asteroid number 82. Let’s go there directly, use the spaceship to lock on, and prevent anyone from leaving. At the same time, block the signal. Don’t cause any problems for a short period of time.”

"Yes, although the person behind it probably wouldn't dare to take action against you, it's still better to be cautious."

They were unaware that the person behind the Fire Phoenix Group was the seventh prince of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, who had ascended to immortality.

But the Fire Phoenix Group has been able to exist for so many years without any incidents.

There must be a protective umbrella behind them.

For Qin Hao's safety, they naturally had to keep things discreet.

Before long, they arrived at their destination.

"Smart home assistant, block the asteroid and prevent signals from entering or leaving."

"Command accepted, blockade in effect."

Godwin and Lowe exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

Then, the two walked out together.

The smart assistant opened the spaceship door, and the two of them flew out.

Cosmic-sized objects can already survive in space.

Moreover, both of them are already at the realm master level.

In the void of the universe, it is just like flat ground.

Soon, the two landed on the surface of the asteroid. Along the way, they encountered many planetary and stellar-level beings.

"The Fire Phoenix Group has quite a few members, but let's gather evidence first."

Although the main objective is to obtain Pansy's storage ring, it is also necessary to acquire some evidence of the Fire Phoenix Group's crimes.

Now it's about infiltrating secretly and killing silently.

However, the virtual universe company may find out in the future.

With this evidence, and considering Qin Hao's future success in the Cosmic Peak Genius Battle, becoming a core member of the Virtual Universe Company...

Even if it conflicts with the rules or doesn't quite conform to the procedures.

It's not a big deal.

Along the way, both of them activated the virtual universe's filming function.

What I saw and heard was utterly outrageous.

The Fire Phoenix Group was originally involved in some illegitimate activities.

Slave trade and the buying and selling of body parts were all basic operations.

Both men looked on, their hair and beards bristling, their anger reaching its peak.

Although Godwin was Shawn's soul slave, he was not a mindless puppet.

Seeing this, I was extremely angry.

"Let's go, everything's collected, it's time to go see Pansy."

However, finding Pansy is not an easy task.

The two searched for quite some time before finally finding each other in a small space below the council hall.

At this moment, Pansi was sitting cross-legged, practicing meditation.

"He's quite hardworking, but his character is truly despicable."

Luo said, "You stay behind for me and make sure he doesn't escape. I'll make the move and try to kill him in one strike."

Godwin nodded: "Okay."

He could even feel the Tai'a sword on his back was eager to be used.

Since its creation, the Tai'a Sword has never been used and has not harmed anyone.

This is something a truly deadly sword can hardly wait for.

However, given Qin Hao's instructions, the Tai'a Sword should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

But the Tai'a sword is already poised to strike, waiting only for a signal before it makes its move.

Although this may require consuming its own energy reserves.

The Tai'a sword didn't care.

Having been nurtured for millennia beneath the Pavilion of Prince Teng, the Tai'a Sword has no shortage of energy.

"Then I'll go."

As Luo finished speaking, he had already arrived near the secret chamber.

A world of light enveloped them, and Pansy already sensed the threat of death.

"Who is this friend? Please show yourself."

However, Luo did not show himself; the light on his body formed sharp swords that pierced towards Pansy.

Dozens of iron vines stretched out, blocking the lightsabers released by Luo.

"As expected, there is Iron Vine Grass of the ninth level of Realm Lord!"

Luo didn't use his full strength right away, but instead tested his opponent's abilities.

I was also somewhat shocked.

The information provided by the Pavilion Master was indeed comprehensive and very accurate.

I don't know where the information came from, Master.

Could it have been given by the Illusionary Butterfly King?
Having already gleaned some information, Luo decided to hold back no longer.

The world of light suppressed them with all its might, while simultaneously taking out its own preferred weapon.

When Pansy was suppressed by the World of Light, she knew that her opponent was extremely difficult to deal with.

A ninth-level Realm Lord, or even a peak Realm Lord, is only one step away from immortality.

The opponent is formidable.

Pansy was extremely cautious and had no intention of staying to fight back.

"Who is this friend? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

The enemy remained silent, and Pansy began to panic.

The iron vine grass had already used all its strength, leaving only the snail flower.

However, this was his trump card.

If we use it too, and still can't defeat them, then we'll be doomed.

He didn't want to die, so while preparing to use the "Shāraṇī" technique at any moment, he also probed with his words, partly to intimidate the enemy.

"Friend, I'm not doing this for myself either."

I also have a powerful backer; my friend, why don't you tell me about him?

Maybe they're one of our own?

You must understand, in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, a friend's actions could very well...

The next moment, the immense pressure caused the secret room where Pansy was to collapse.

However, Pansy had already entered a room next to the secret room.

Then, the asteroid exploded instantly.

Countless shattered stones flew in all directions across the starry sky.

The commotion was a bit too much.

With a thought, Godwin caused all the shattered stones from the explosion to come back together.

However, a deep purple, sword-shaped spaceship appeared and immediately fled in one direction.

"An E9-class spaceship? I knew it!"

"Smart home assistant, smash it!"

"Yes!"

The smart butler has been replaced by a clone of Coulson.

He was extremely excited at this moment.

The F9-class spaceship, named Panda by Coulson, instantly transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the deep purple, sword-shaped spaceship.

Whether it's materials, energy systems, or the spaceship's internal propulsion system, the Panda, gifted by the Illusionary Butterfly King, is a whole order of magnitude superior.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The deep purple, sword-shaped spaceship panicked and, after firing two beams of light, immediately accelerated to escape.

However, both beams of light were easily blocked by the Panda.

Then, the next moment, there was a bang.

The two spaceships have collided.

From beginning to end, it's only a breath.

Pansy's spaceship hadn't even traveled 100 kilometers before it was hit.

In terms of performance, this spaceship made of E9 alloy is like a bicycle compared to a Ferrari compared to the Panda.

The Panda crashed into the deep purple sword-shaped spaceship instantly. After the secret runes were solidified, the 'sharp edges' of the Panda spaceship were like a sharp blade cutting through foam.

"laugh!"

Without even stopping, it directly cut the dark purple spaceship in half!

Wow!

The deep purple sword-shaped spaceship was cut in two, the alloy at the cut point twisted, and the energy transmission system burst out with a large amount of energy light.

"Who is it?"

"This F9-class spaceship isn't something just anyone can own."

Even some less powerful immortal warlords cannot possess such a powerful spaceship.

Not to mention, this F9-class spaceship in front of us is considered above average among all F9-class spaceships.

His E9-class spaceship, which he had worked so hard to acquire at great expense, was practically like a child's toy.

Vulnerable.

Today, it seems things won't end well.

A figure flew out of the wrecked spaceship, hovering among the broken wreckage, staring at Luo in front of him and the Panda beside him.

"Don't even think about running away, you can't escape."

Luo, at the peak of the Realm Lord level, and the F9-class spaceship.

It's practically impossible for Pansy to escape now.

Not to mention, there's also Godwin, who's lurking outside, eyeing the scene with predatory intent.

And a powerful treasure, the Tai'a Sword, capable of attacking on its own!
"How will you know the result if you don't try?"

Pansy pulled out a knife and attacked Luo frantically.

There's no way to escape; the F9-class spaceships are too fast.

Moreover, he was suppressed by Luo's world of light, which slowed him down.

Luo drew a long spear, and the two engaged in combat.

"Good thing you came. What an idiot, wielding a sword and trying to fight me in close combat?"

The opportunity has arrived. If I can capture this arrogant guy alive, I can force the spaceship to leave.

Then I'll have my chance.

Even if we could capture this F9-class spaceship.

From now on, all my activities will be much more convenient.

Things I was previously hesitant to take out, I can now take out a little more of.

His idea was correct, but reality shocked him.

Because Luo's combat experience and strength are unmatched by him.

"No, it seems I have no choice but to use my ultimate move."

"Iron Vine Grass, come out!"

Several colorful vines flew out of his hand, and in an instant, the surrounding area for several kilometers was filled with all kinds of vines.

These tough vines rushed towards Luo, trying to completely wrap him up.

"Ninth-tier Realm Lord - Iron Vine Grass!"

Although I had seen it before, before that it was just a few vines.

Now that the Iron Vine Grass has launched a full-scale attack, Luo finally felt a sense of threat.

"As expected, this person must have a great secret. Otherwise, how could a mere third-level Realm Lord cultivate such a powerful Iron Vine Grass?"
