Outside the Dead Star Region.
The group of cultivators who were sent out by millions of vengeful souls are now struggling to survive, looking at the huge Dead Star Region in the distance with shocked and terrified eyes.
This is definitely not a cultivator of the Sea Inverting Realm, absolutely not!
Could it be someone from the Heaven Mending Realm?!
The red-haired cultivator looked fearful as he felt the spiritual energy in his body stirring chaotically, already showing signs of having his cultivation level drop. He quickly stabilized his mind, took some medicinal pills for healing, and prayed that his cultivation level would not drop.
After a while, his expression changed. He finally could not hold it in anymore and his cultivation dropped after all, and his body was severely injured. He almost could not even stimulate his spiritual energy, his soul consciousness was clouded, and he was nearly affected by the invasion of darkness.
The other cultivators had already started retreating, not daring to stay for a moment, afraid that the Lord of Dead Star would become furious again and kill them directly!
The last cultivator in blue robes leaked a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing. Without saying a word, he covered his chest with his hand.
He did not actually sustain any injuries. He was just pretending for the others to see. His flickering eyes sized up the Dead Star Region ahead.
This Lord of Dead Star is indeed not simple, very different from his previous guess of a level nine Sea Inversing Realm cultivator. He should have touched the tail end of the Heaven Mending Realm's strength, but it is not clear whether he can be considered a Heaven Mending Realm cultivator or not.
He spat out another mouthful of blood again, pretending to be heavily injured, and quickly retreated into the distance.
Only the red-haired cultivator was left. He bowed deeply towards the entire Dead Star Region and shouted,
"Thank you, Senior, for sparing our lives!"
This is the strict hierarchical system based on strength among cultivators.
When a higher level cultivator heavily injures you, you still have to thank them in return. This is called manners.
As for whether it is sincere or not, no one knows. I believe not many people would be sincere.
The group of cultivators quickly ran away without daring to look back.
The lifeless star region flowed extremely slowly as always, no different from normal. The only difference was probably that it had welcomed some uninvited guests.
Half a month later, there was news of the Lord of Dead Star from within the star region again.
It was big news, with only one sentence.
Li Yue of the Li Family, the family’s pride, died in the Dead Star Region and was refined into a ghost slave by the Lord of Dead Star.
This news spread rapidly within an extreme amount of time, reaching all directions of the star region.
Even though the red-haired cultivator explained desperately, the cultivators still preferred the story of the Lord of Dead Star refining Li Yue.
The truth is not exciting enough to be considered the truth.
That’s what the cultivators thought.
At the same time, within the Li Family, the current family patriarch cried with his hands covering his face, grieving,
“My Yue’er, I have wronged you. Yue’er, it’s all my fault for letting you handle things alone. It’s all my fault!”
He sobbed a few times, and kept wiping his tears with his sleeves, but the tears just would not stop, completely soaking his sleeves.
The other clansmen wanted to console him but also did not know what to say, and they were sad themselves, so they could only keep silent.
“What’s there to cry about,” said an impatient voice. Li Yang, dressed in golden yellow robes, stood at the door, blocking all light. She slightly raised her head, eyes narrowed, and continued,
“It’s just an unconfirmed rumor. What’s there to cry about.”
Upon seeing Li Yang, the elderly patriarch quickly stopped sobbing, wiped his tears, but could not contain his grief. He sadly said,
“Yue’er was taken away by the Lord of Dead Star, and the location shown on the compass is also around there. I’m afraid...I’m afraid...”
The elderly man stuttered for a long time but still could not get the words out.
“What’s there to be afraid of,” Li Yang said disdainfully. “If the Lord of Dead Star really took him away, then make him return Yue’er. If he really refined Yue’er, then I’ll refine the Lord of Dead Star too!”
She was the heir of a great emperor, so she had the qualifications to say things like this.
The elderly man's eyes lit up with joy. He quickly said, “Alright alright, then let’s set off right away.”
Li Yang did not say anything else either. With a flick of her sleeve, her figure turned towards the door and with a step, she disappeared, leaving only one sentence behind.
“This afternoon, we head for the Dead Star Region.”
She was always straightforward like this, making decisions quickly and taking action swiftly.
Not only the Li Family will take action.
The seven major sects will also make a move.
The red-haired cultivator’s group was heavily injured and had their cultivation decreased by the Lord of Dead Star. In the sect, this was considered an immense grievance of life and death.
And these red-haired cultivators were also the pillars of the sect. Once they reach the Sea Inversing Realm, they can become Supreme Elders.
If they do not take action to demand an explanation after being beaten into this state by a mere Lord of Dead Star, they would really be looked down on by the seven major sects.
According to the red-haired cultivator’s assessment, the Lord of Dead Star should be a level nine Sea Inversing Realm great cultivator, not yet reaching the Heaven Mending Realm.
This would be easy to handle, since within the seven major sects there are also level nine Sea Inversing Realm cultivators.
But what if he was stronger, reaching the Heaven Mending Realm?
For this point, the seven major sects were also prepared. They can also invite a Heaven Mending Realm elder to back them up. With the seven major sects’ foundation, it would not be difficult to invite one Heaven Mending Realm ancestor.
The White Mountain and FengBai Sect that are leading have Heaven Mending Realm elders overseeing them.
Although they were just basic Heaven Mending Realm, it was still better than nothing.
Not long after the news that the seven major sects were going to surround and exterminate the Dead Star Region to avenge the Li Family spread out.
It was said that the seven major sects gathered seven Sea Inversing Realm great cultivators and one Heaven Mending Realm supreme expert, and will completely surround and exterminate the Dead Star Region to uncover the true face of the Lord of Dead Star to see exactly what being it was that dared provoke their seven major sects.
And the time when the sects will surround and exterminate is close to that of the Li Family's.
The Li Family did not have this kind of Heaven Mending Realm cultivator, and didn't even have a single Sea Inversing Realm cultivator.
But the good thing was that Li Yang, who had left long ago, is leading this operation. Li Yang is at the Sea Inversing Realm and was the heir of a Sea Inversing Realm great emperor.
So she can invite a Heaven Mending Realm elder to back her up, and it was not an ordinary Heaven Mending Realm.
It was a Heaven Mending Realm old swordsman!
This was much more powerful than ordinary Heaven Mending Realm cultivators. Their battle prowess was stronger and their killing power even greater.
The surrounding major sects have learned of this news, and the more daring ones started coming to the edge of the Dead Star Region to spectate, wanting to see the true face of the Lord of Dead Star.
And when the siege began, seven days had already passed.
Three thousand cultivators surrounded the entire Dead Star Region.
The lowest was at the peak of the Mahayana Peak Realm. The highest was a Heaven Mending Realm old swordsman!
