CHAPTER 450: CHAPTER 450: A POWERFUL BEING DESCENDS INTO THE STAR SEA

A spaceship, racing across the sky, was heading for the City of Extinction.

However, this was not a spaceship from the He Family, but from Star Sea...

Aboard the spaceship stood over a hundred figures, among them no fewer than twenty Saint Realm warriors. The leader was a late-stage Saint Realm expert, immensely powerful. There were also many young people with extraordinary bearings.

At that moment, a man with purple hair spoke up. "It’s been years. I wonder how she is."

He was speaking of the Fairy. He had grown up with the Fairy; they were also taken into Star Sea together. Back then, they were hailed as a golden couple, a good match.

Yes! She was the Fairy, and he, Luo Yu, possessed a Heaven Spirit Divine Body.

But after the Star Sea higher-ups took the Fairy away, she vanished without a trace. Only later did he learn that the Fairy had been sent to Fairy Valley. During that time, Star Sea did not allow him to go to Fairy Valley, let alone allow them to meet anywhere, so Luo Yu had remained in seclusion.

Now, with the Star Sea higher-ups intending to enter the Fairy Valley region, he followed the army here. Twenty years had passed.

Luo Yu chuckled, "To search for the ’Immortal Cauldron,’ she really has been wronged."

Someone nearby responded, "You’ve been in seclusion all these years and don’t understand—after the Fairy entered Fairy Valley, she has rarely been in contact with Star Sea."

Luo Yu’s smile froze. "What did you say?"

That person shook their head and did not explain.

Infrequent contact meant there was a good chance the Fairy had abandoned her identity.

No, no, no! That was absolutely impossible.

Luo Yu shook his head, suddenly feeling somewhat panicked.

「Inside the spaceship.」

A Saint Realm expert spoke, "My lord, we’re almost there."

The man referred to as "my lord" was the leader of this expedition. His cultivation was at the eighth layer of the Saint Realm, and he was an absolute high-ranking member within the Star Sea Sect. He was Elder Shi.

This time, he led the team into Fairy Valley with three objectives:

First, to seize the Immortal Cauldron.

Second, to annihilate Fairy Valley.

Third, to bring the Fairy back.

Yang Wuzong grunted, smiling. "I’ve heard quite a few interesting things have been happening here. A power from Heaven Martial has actually taken root inside the City of Extinction, haha... truly fascinating."

"That’s a forbidden area!" someone else exclaimed. "They dare?"

"The very place Yu Changfeng died..."

"Exactly."

"What’s the name of this sect?"

"Wuji Sect."

"What’s more amusing is that this Wuji Sect, in just over half a year, has plundered seventy to eighty factions," Yang Wuzong chuckled softly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all laughed.

They sure had guts.

Yang Wuzong continued, "Later, I heard that Chen Pingping from the Wuji Sect broke into Fairy Valley and accomplished significant deeds, ultimately succeeding in angering Fairy Valley. Hmm... if my calculations are correct, those individuals from Fairy Valley should have already made their move. By the time we arrive, the Wuji Sect will likely have been destroyed."

Saying this, his face was full of regret. The departure was too late, and there were delays on the way, so he had missed this grand spectacle.

"My lord, the Immortal Cauldron has been missing for tens of thousands of years. Back then, those Big Shots scoured the City of Extinction, turning over every stone, yet failed to find it. Do you think the image manifested in the copper mirror is real or fake?" a Saint Realm expert asked curiously.

"Whether it’s real or fake, it’s an opportunity," Yang Wuzong said, his gaze narrowing.

If the Immortal Cauldron could not be found, then they would annihilate Fairy Valley. It was that simple.

Another Saint Realm expert spoke up, "Fairy Valley, after all, is a superpower comparable to our own strength. For us to come over so directly, isn’t it too simplistic?"

"Don’t worry, we have allies," Yang Wuzong smiled before standing up and walking out.

If he could not witness the grand spectacle of Fairy Valley destroying the Wuji Sect, then... he would just have to see what unfolded next.

He arrived on the deck. All the young people suddenly became solemn.

Yang Wuzong spoke, "There’s no need to be so tense. The reason you were allowed to accompany us to Fairy Valley is to broaden your horizons. Don’t confine yourselves to old ways, and don’t assume you’re invincible in this world. Always remember, there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. Only by tirelessly cultivating can you achieve Perfection and set foot on the path to invincibility."

"Yes!" the crowd responded in unison.

"You are the pride of Star Sea, the future of Star Sea, and the seeds of Star Sea. This time, aside from observing the battles, you may engage if appropriate, but you must understand your own limits," Yang Wuzong added.

"We will certainly not let the Sect down."

"Very well." He smiled slightly, saying no more.

To seize the Immortal Cauldron, to obliterate Fairy Valley. He had waited for this day for far too long.

Yang Wuzong narrowed his gaze, looking ahead, his heart cold. My old friend, how are you doing? It’s been a long time since we last met, and I’ve missed you dearly!

Before long, the spaceship entered the region and finally arrived at Fairy Valley.

However, what came into view was nothing but ruins.

The crowd was stunned. The twenty Saint Realm powerhouses were also taken aback.

What had happened? Where was Fairy Valley?

"The buildings have only recently been destroyed."

"Could it be that Fairy Valley’s formidable enemies came and obliterated it?"

"Impossible! On the entire land of Southern Diaspora, apart from our Star Sea and the Ancient Country, who could obliterate Fairy Valley? But...?"

"Could it be that Demon Race powerhouses came over?"

"Could it be one of our allies?" one of the Saint Realm experts asked, looking towards Yang Wuzong.

Yang Wuzong shook his head. "It’s unlikely. Their goal was not Fairy Valley."

He extended his Divine Sense, sweeping the area. In the ruin-like Fairy Valley, there was no longer any sign of life. What was strange was that if a formidable enemy had attacked, there should have been blood and bodies within Fairy Valley. But aside from ruins, there was almost nothing here. The Sect’s cultivation resources had also vanished without a trace, as if the Sect had already relocated...

Yang Wuzong remained silent for a long while before extending his Divine Sense again, scanning the surrounding areas, eventually lingering on the City of Extinction. Because three types of power largely covered the area, they significantly interfered with his Divine Sense. He could only vaguely perceive powerful fluctuations there, making precise capture difficult.

"Let’s go to the City of Extinction," Yang Wuzong commanded.

They felt very aggrieved.

Even though they knew this was the Ancestor’s command, they couldn’t understand why they had to abandon their home, given that Fairy Valley was not inferior. What was even more infuriating was that they had to follow Chen Pingping’s orders. From being esteemed and powerful beings, they were reduced to mere lackeys overnight.

The thirteen Saint Realm experts were filled with bitter indignation.

Of course, they weren’t the only ones deeply affected; so was a Martial Granduncle, Wang Xiaodao.

He had just awakened and come out of seclusion. He hadn’t even made a move, nor had he shown the slightest hint of killing intention towards Chen Pingping.

And then, he was punished by the Ancestor.

To guard the gatehouse for a hundred years! Alas!

The Elder came running over. "Martial Granduncle."

"Get lost!" Wang Xiaodao roared.

Just looking at this group infuriated him.

That Chen Pingping from the Wuji Sect had barged into Fairy Valley, first abducting people, then stealing cultivation resources. And the Fairy Valley higher-ups hadn’t even investigated and just charged over? Didn’t they stop to think what qualifications or abilities Chen Pingping even had to pull off such things? If they had investigated properly and known this was all orchestrated by the Ancestor, the current situation wouldn’t have happened. Perhaps Fairy Valley would still have merged with the Wuji Sect, but they wouldn’t have become mere underlings, and he, Wang Xiaodao, certainly wouldn’t be stuck guarding the gatehouse for a hundred years!
