Like a flash, Qin Yuandai retracted her withered old hand with a piercing scream, thrusting the cane in her hand.

A spectral domain quickly spread out.

This cane, surprisingly, was another Million Souls Banner, and compared to Sun Ying's, its quality was much higher. The spectral domain unfolded, capable of attacking and defending, making it her unbeatable magic treasure for combat.

However, it was ultimately a step too late.

The spectral domain had just begun to spread, not yet forming a defensive line, when a crescent-like red light attacked, slicing through the undeveloped spectral domain, and struck Qin Yuandai's scrawny body.

The hastily activated protective force couldn't resist in the slightest, and with the eruption of violent power, the red light enveloped a large area.

The aftermath swept across, and twenty miles away, Lu Ye's figure wavered, like a fallen leaf in the wind, blown far away.

Even Tang Yifeng and the others, rushing over at full speed as Lu Ye took action, struggled to maintain their balance, hastily channeling their power to resist, swaying back and forth.

Within the area covered by the red light, life was continuously extinguished, more than one dead, evidently the Constellations Qin Yuandai brought were affected.

Pushed by the red talisman's outbreak's aftershock, Lu Ye was blown about 30 miles away before he barely stabilized himself, immediately turning his gaze towards Qin Yuandai.

He was only concerned about one thing now: is the Moon Jade of the Qingli Dao World dead?

At a glance, his face lit up with joy, followed by surprise!

The joy was that Qin Yuandai was already dead, her body split in two, blood splattering in the stellar space. Not only did she die, but seven or eight Constellations she brought also perished, with the rest nearly all injured, scattered in all directions, looking pathetic.

The power of the red talisman's explosion was beyond Lu Ye's imagination. Had he known, he wouldn't have desperately closed the distance; using it from farther away, Qin Yuandai probably couldn't withstand it either.

But after all, it was his first time activating the red talisman without experience, so naturally, caution was prioritized.

The surprise was in the distance behind the surviving cultivators of the Qingli Dao World, a glaring light was rapidly approaching, and judging by the spirit force fluctuations from the person, it was surprisingly a Moon Jade Mid-Stage!

This time, two Moon Jades from the Qingli Dao World actually came!

When Lu Ye first saw Qin Yuandai leading a group of Constellations, he assumed she was alone, and in his original assumption, the other side would most likely send only one Moon Jade.

But they unexpectedly sent two! Moreover, the second one had been concealed in the starboat at the back, only revealing now!

Lu Ye felt bitter; this truly was man proposes, Heaven disposes. Who would've thought, dealing with a group of Constellation Early Stage, they would deploy two Moon Jades.

It should be known, the entire Qingli Dao World has only three Moon Jades, meaning they left one to defend their home, and the other two came over.

The Nine Provinces Constellation, what virtue or capability do they have to deserve such treatment...

He naturally didn't know, this second Moon Jade following along was merely a coincidence and accident, not to avenge the Constellations from Qingdai Mountain, but with other intentions, thus remaining concealed and planning to appear at Qin Yuandai's side to play a critical role.

But as he waited, Qin Yuandai died! Along with many of the Constellations she brought!

How could he hesitate, immediately flying over.

Feeling the aura of the second Moon Jade, Tang Yifeng and others were dumbfounded. Originally in their plan, if Lu Ye succeeded in one strike, they would rush to settle the surviving Constellations of the Qingli Dao World.

But in this situation, where is the chance?

Especially since the aftermath of the red talisman's explosion had rendered their Pseudo-Might Spirit Runes ineffective, revealing their true cultivation, unable to intimidate the new Constellations.

Soon, the elderly man with an aged appearance arrived at the site of the red talisman's explosion. Though he was at a distance earlier, he had been observing the situation here quietly.

Aware that Qin Yuandai handled things somewhat carelessly; otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered such misfortune.

That red talisman wasn't an ordinary red talisman, very likely from the hands of the Dwarf Race; otherwise, it couldn't possess such formidable power.

If it truly were an ordinary red talisman, with Qin Yuandai's strength, self-preservation wouldn't have been an issue. But if it were the Dwarf Race's red talisman, nurtured over who knows how long, anyone would be cautious.

Gazing at the two halves of Qin Yuandai's corpse, the old man sighed heavily, eyes filled with sorrow.

Originally, after these three millennia, only one old friend was left by his side, and now, this sole old friend also died, and perished at the hands of a Constellation Early Stage at that.

"Collect the remains!" the old man instructed calmly.

Immediately, the surviving Constellations from Qingdai Mountain, reluctantly, with faces full of grief, stepped forward to collect Qin Yuandai's corpse.

Only then did the old man look up, turning to gaze at Tang Yifeng and the others, seeing a group of Constellation Early Stage, numerous in quantity, but none catching his attention.

Then he turned to look in Lu Ye's direction.

Lu Ye was puffing his cheeks, evidently eating something, and upon feeling the old man's gaze, he hurriedly swallowed it whole.

Without a moment's hesitation, he turned and ran!

"Vermin!" the elder shouted in a deep voice.

Has he realized the severity of the situation and abandoned his companions? How could his old friend die at the hands of such a petty person!

For a Constellation Early Stage to attempt an escape in front of a strong cultivator like him was simply a fool's dream. Even if he let Lu Ye escape for a while, he was confident of catching up with ease.

As he was contemplating whether to deal with those Constellation Early Stage individuals before pursuing this person, a loud voice echoed from the depths of stellar space: "Tang Jun, if you dare kill one of my Unparalleled members, I will slaughter your Qingli Dao World!"

Tang Jun quickly turned his head, staring in the direction Lu Ye was fleeing. In the next instant, his figure flickered, and he shot off in pursuit, saying lightly, "If you wish to die, I shall grant your wish!"

For someone at the Moon Jade Mid-Stage to be threatened by a Constellation Early Stage, how could he tolerate it? Moreover, that kid had one red talisman, so he might have a second; better to deal with him first.

Especially since the opponent had just activated a red talisman, he was most likely in a state of exhaustion now.

As for those Unparalleled Constellations... Qin Yuandai's group wasn't completely wiped out, with more than a dozen left, including both Late Stage and Mid-Stage Constellation cultivators. Though fewer in number, their cultivation was higher, and they should be able to handle it.

The speed of a Moon Jade Mid-Stage was exceptionally fast. Even though Lu Ye sensed the danger and fled immediately, he distinctly felt the opponent's aura locking onto him from behind, and the distance was closing rapidly.

Seeing things weren't going well, Lu Ye immediately detonated a drop of Essence Blood within his body, activating the Blood Escape Technique.

At this moment, he couldn't care about extreme speeds or not; if he were caught, it would surely be a dead end, so enhancing his speed was naturally the priority.

Under the boost of the Blood Escape Technique, he soon broke through his top speed, silently praying that he would not encounter any obstacles ahead. Already in a bad state, if he crashed into something, he'd be done for.

Luck was on his side; flying this way, he didn't collide with anything.

Though there were plenty of drifting meteors in stellar space, they were quite scattered. Normally, it wasn't easy to hit one unless stumbling into an asteroid belt.

Lu Ye led Tang Jun away, leaving Thang Yifeng and the others with heavy hearts, yet they understood his intention.

With the opponent's Moon Jade Mid-Stage cultivation, their side in Nine Provinces couldn't resist it. Even if Lu Ye stayed to fight together, they'd inevitably be picked off one by one.

That's why he decisively fled.

The escape wasn't the goal; it was merely a strategy to lure away the enemy's strongest combat force!

Lu Ye's side was proceeding smoothly, but whether he could escape the pursuit of a Moon Jade Mid-Stage was unknown.

Thang Yifeng and the others couldn't do much more than kill the enemies in front, ideally capturing a few to guard against any unforeseen events!

The ripple effects of the red talisman's explosion exposed the true cultivation of four fake Moon Jades. Coupled with the tragic deaths of Qin Yuandai and her allies, the surviving Qingli Dao World cultivators were furious. Not long after Tang Jun departed, they proactively launched an attack on the Nine Provinces Constellations.

In a brawl, the Nine Provinces cultivators had vast experience and immediately used their numbers to construct defenses against the enemy's assault.

The scene near the Unparalleled Continent was a chaotic frenzy!

Though superior in number, they were ultimately inferior in cultivation. Especially since the enemy had two Late Stage Constellation cultivators whose powerful techniques made it difficult for the Nine Provinces folks to hold them off.

But they could only persist.

The situation became quite tense.

Meanwhile, a starboat was rushing urgently toward the Unparalleled Continent. It was the Silver Fish, carrying the third batch of Constellations brought over from Nine Provinces by Nian Yuexian.

They arrived a bit late, missing the earlier battles.

Inside the starboat, Nian Yuexian was both steering the starboat and pulling out an audio talisman, attempting to contact Lu Ye. There was no response; at that moment, Lu Ye was being chased by Tang Jun and had no time to reply.

She then attempted to contact Jian Guhong and received a response moments later, learning roughly about the situation over at the Unparalleled Continent and what had transpired.

A brief consultation with Jian Guhong was followed by finalizing a strategy to break the enemy.

The fact that the audio talisman could transmit messages meant they weren't too far apart. With Silver Fish's speed, they'd reach the battlefield in no more than half a day!

By then, their batch of Constellations could catch the Qingli Dao World by surprise!

By themselves, they couldn't achieve this, but Nian Yuexian had been nurturing two purple talismans that Lu Ye had previously given her!

Not only did Nian Yuexian have them, but so did Jian Guhong and Feng Wujiang, along with the first group of cultivators who followed Lu Ye to the Unparalleled Continent; each had one, distributed by Lu Ye for emergencies.

Though the purple talisman's power was inferior to the red talisman, it was more than sufficient for dealing with Constellations.

They were waiting for the right moment, an opportunity to deliver a comprehensive blow to the invading enemies!

Nian Yuexian's arrival was perfectly timed.

Shortly after, the Silver Fish reached its predetermined location, with nine Nine Provinces members emerging from the vessel. After a few simple instructions, Nian Yuexian activated a secret technique to conceal herself, suppressing her aura as she stealthily moved towards the battlefield, simultaneously informing Jian Guhong to prepare on their end.
