Chapter 2239
Outside the teleportation platform of Tian Shu Star, the rosy glow had not yet dissipated, and the fluctuations of heaven and earth still echoed in the ripples of the void.
Cang Lanyue, dressed in a scarlet Daoist robe, stood with his hands behind his back. The aura of a True Immortal surrounding him was like an invisible mountain pressing down, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to stagnate.
As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array, he saw dozens of cultivators kneeling on the ground. The leader was Zhou Ming, the city lord of Tian Shu City, followed by second-generation disciples of the Canglan Sword Sect and core officials of Tian Shu City. Their posture was extremely humble.
"waste!"
Cang Lanyue frowned slightly, her eyes as cold as ice. She didn't even look at the kneeling crowd, and casually waved her hand.
An invisible force of true immortal magic burst forth, leaving Zhou Ming no chance to resist. He screamed and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto a jade building not far away.
With a deafening crash, the magnificent palace collapsed, sending debris flying everywhere. Zhou Ming coughed up blood and struggled to get up.
This scene shocked the surrounding cultivators, who were in an uproar.
It should be noted that Zhou Ming is a well-known figure in the Nine Dragons Star Region. As the city lord of Tian Shu City, he wields immense power and influence. Even the local powerhouse of Nine Dragons Star Region has to give him some face. Yet now, he was casually blasted away with a single palm strike, completely powerless to fight back!
"Isn't that Lord Zhou? He actually knelt down to greet him and was treated like this?"
"Who is this person? His aura is terrifyingly suffocating. Could he be an ancestor of a major sect?"
"Judging from their red attire, could they be from the Canglan Sword Sect, a Nebula-level sect? But they're far too young!"
"Grandmaster, this kind of pressure... is probably from a powerful being at the True Immortal level!"
A murmur of discussion arose, and the cultivators' eyes were filled with shock and fear as they retreated, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Cang Lanyue ignored the commotion around her, her gaze fixed on Zhou Ming, who was struggling to crawl towards her, and her tone was icy cold:
"The sect assigned you such a lucrative position, yet you couldn't control this barren star field even after hundreds of years, and you even got into trouble, with the other party demanding that your master personally come to apologize?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes, making Zhou Ming tremble: "Wait until I wipe out those so-called Void Realm ants with powerful backgrounds, then I'll come back and convict you!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Ming scrambled back to Cang Lanyue's side, knelt respectfully once more, and reported tremblingly, "Ancestor, that person claimed to have given his name as Han Jiuling!"
He paused, then added, "I've made many inquiries, but all I've found are people with the same name. The one with the most powerful background is the Nine-Headed Immortal from the Quasi-Saint City, who is an old man. It's definitely not this person!"
"A quasi-holy city?" Cang Lanyue scoffed, a smug glint in her eyes.
"In the past, my Canglan Sword Sect only had three Celestial Immortal Ancestors, and there was no hope of conquering the Holy City. Now, I have been wandering in the outer realms for more than three thousand years, and I have long since merged with the Great Dao to become a True Immortal. The forces of the Quasi-Holy City are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of me!"
"A true... True Immortal!" Zhou Ming's pupils contracted sharply, then he knelt down in wild joy, "Congratulations, Grandmaster, on achieving the status of a True Immortal! Our Canglan Sword Sect will surely prosper because of you!"
"Enough with the nonsense!" Cang Lanyue waved her hand impatiently. "Lead the way immediately and find that Han Jiuling ant!"
"Yes!" Zhou Ming didn't dare to delay and quickly got up to lead the way. "Ancestor, those seventeen people are currently on Xuanxiao Star. This star is quite extraordinary. It is not under the control of Jiulong Star, and it is rich in resources and talents. It is a treasure land!"
"Abundant resources? A wealth of talent?" A glint of greed flashed in Cang Lanyue's eyes as she sneered and shook her head.
"It seems this trip wasn't a waste of time. Issue the order: plunder all the resources of Xuanxiao Star, suppress and capture all cultivators, reduce them to slaves, and send them to Canglan Mining Star to serve the sect!"
"We will humbly obey the teachings of our Master!"
Zhou Ming and the other disciples of the Canglan Sword Sect bowed in unison and agreed, their voices resounding through the void.
The white-haired elder and others from the Nine Dragons Star stood to the side, their faces turning ashen and their minds reeling – a true immortal had arrived in person, and the Nine Dragons Star Region was likely to be turned upside down!
"Our patriarch trusted Chen Xuan too much and didn't offer the Canglan Sword Sect a generous gift. Now we're in big trouble..."
The old man's mind raced. After Cang Lanyue and her entourage left in a grand procession, he immediately transformed into a streak of light and rushed back to his mansion. Trembling, he crushed several message talismans and urgently sent a message to the Nine Dragons Star Ancestral Star.
