Chapter 528: Chapter 262: Return to the Star Cluster, War of Two Realms

Shen Ping paused for a moment, then continued.

“Originally, it should have been the sect leader who led the team, but since the sect leader is missing, we can only inform the Immortal Country Messenger that the sect leader is not in the sect and cannot be contacted in a short time. The Immortal Country Messenger then requested that Xuandan Sect send at least four Golden Core cultivators, one hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, and thirteen hundred Late Stage of Qi Cultivation disciples.”

“Moreover, a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator must lead the team.”

“Left with no other choice, Senior Brother Zhuge personally led the team, accompanied by Sister Si Hong, Junior Brother Lian, Junior Brother Zhu, and many elders and inner disciples of the sect to head to the Stars Sea.”

“At this moment, they should not have arrived at the Stars Sea yet and are still on their way.”

Han Yi nodded, having already understood the matter quite clearly. Then, after pondering for three breaths, he resolutely stood up and said to Shen Ping.

“I am worried.”

“I will go there immediately, and should be able to reach the Stars Sea faster than them.”

“The evil chaos in the Eastern Sea would make the Stars Sea extremely dangerous. This time, it is no less perilous than the last time at the Shu Du Demon Cave. It would be too risky for them to go there alone.”

In the end, Han Yi resolved to provide assistance.

With Zhuge Wu You away from the Xuandan Sect and without the support of the Sect Guardian Array, if they encountered several Late-stage Golden Core cultivators or even a Golden Core Peak cultivator, they would be wiped out completely.

Previously in Shu Du Demon Cave, if Han Yi had not accompanied the team, even just dealing with the first few waves of Heavenly Demon Kings would have led to heavy casualties in Xuandan Sect, with more than half of the people dying or even the entire team being wiped out.

Upon hearing Han Yi’s words, Shen Ping’s expression showed a struggle. His original intention was not to let Han Yi go, as Han Yi’s presence in the sect would greatly enhance the sect’s defensive power. Han Yi’s death in the Stars Sea would be a devastating blow to the Xuandan Sect.

However, Han Yi was always decisive and his words were certainly reasonable, so Shen Ping just opened his mouth to speak but soon closed it again.

Seeing Shen Ping’s struggling appearance, Han Yi smiled and released the restrained aura of his Late-stage Golden Core cultivation, which was full of vitality and only slightly inferior to Zhuge Wu You.

However, Shen Ping’s expression immediately changed from astonishment to exhilaration.

It was known among the high-ranking members of the sect that Han Yi’s strength was not in his realm, but his fighting power which allowed him to fight across different levels. Although Han Yi’s cultivation base and aura were slightly weaker than Zhuge Wu You’s, when Han Yi just entered the Golden Core stage, he had already been able to kill six Golden Core cultivators, including two at the Middle Golden Core Stage, in the Xuanxue Subsect. Now that he had advanced to the Late-stage Golden Core, his combat power was definitely beyond Shen Ping’s imagination.

“Don’t worry, Brother Shen. I have advanced to the Late-stage Golden Core. Below the Monarch level, no one can harm me as long as they are not vicious characters like Li Qiushui. Above the Monarch level, as long as they are not at the Monarch Middle Stage or higher, I can still protect myself.”

Han Yi’s words were quite arrogant, but Shen Ping knew that his junior brother’s words had always been relatively conservative.

Seeing Shen Ping breathing a sigh of relief, Han Yi did not stay for long. After giving some instructions, he once again took to the sky and flew out of the Sect Guardian Array. Releasing the Red Immortal Boat, he boarded it and quickly swept towards the Stars Sea.

Han Yi did not know the route taken by Zhuge Wu You, but it didn’t matter, as he planned to go to the Stars Sea first to investigate the situation, then wait for Zhuge Wu You’s team at a location near the Stars Sea.

When Han Yi was still in the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, he was already led by Zhuge Wu You to participate in the Mountains and Seas Evil-Slaying Festival in the Stars Sea. However, at that time, only ten people from Xuandan Sect participated. This time, there were more than a thousand people from Xuandan Sect alone.

As for the timing, during the Mountains and Seas Evil-Slaying Festival, it took Zhuge Wu You and his team a full month and seven days to travel from the outskirts of Xuandan Sect to the Stars Sea, basically crossing the entire Daqian from the northwest to the southeast where the Stars Sea was located.

Of course, the reason why it took so long was that they had set off early and took their time traveling.

But this time was different. The Stars Sea was under siege, and the Immortal Country Messenger asked Xuandan Sect to arrive within twenty-three days.

This time frame was determined based on Zhuge Wu You’s full-powered control of the Immortal Boat, with some buffer preparation time included.

At this moment, Yuan Shun was missing and Qin Wuxian had perished. Since Han Yi was worried about the possible pursuit from the Daqin side, he went to the Tai Xu Sect, and Zhuge Wu You dared not say more, so he could only agree.

When Han Yi returned to the sect, Zhuge Wu You’s team had almost passed halfway and had just crossed the boundary between Qianzhou and Shu State.

Unfortunately, on the vast Daqian Region, Han Yi, who was flying towards the Stars Sea, took a different route from the one chosen by Zhuge Wu You. When Han Yi arrived at the Stars Sea in the shortest time, taking only five days, Zhuge Wu You was still six or seven days away from the Stars Sea.

However.

Han Yi’s plan was not to wait outside the Stars Sea but to go to the Stars Sea first to explore the situation.

Twenty-three years later, Han Yi returned to the Stars Sea.

However.

The Stars Sea that he saw now was vastly different from what it was twenty-three years ago.

Twenty-three years ago, when he first saw the Stars Sea, he was utterly shocked by the sight.

At that time, the Eastern Sea was like a huge Immortal Island, floating a hundred meters above the ground.

Above the Immortal Island, immortal peaks converged, surrounded by clouds and mist, filled with immortal qi. The continuous palace complex was scattered among the immortal peaks, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see.

However, twenty-three years later, today, the huge Immortal Island that was suspended in the air once again appeared before him, but a third of it had already fallen to the ground, with almost half of the collapsed area being submerged by the sea.
