Li Xieyang!

Blockade the Haotian Star Domain?!

Everyone who heard this was shocked and horrified! Even the hairs on their backs were about to stand on end!

Anyone who knew about death warrants—who hadn’t heard of Li Xieyang?

That Xieyang Sheng had always been a malevolent star among malevolent stars. Whatever he set his sights on, others shouldn’t think of interfering.

Blockading a star domain—wasn’t that equivalent to trapping everyone in a cage?

Heaven knew whether he wanted to kill that Jian Chou, or them, this bunch of competitors who were trying to exploit the time difference to compete for the killing reward!

True immortal hunters were never easy to deal with!

After Fujian Sheng finished speaking, he and Daoist Diandao disappeared together from the high city wall.

Everyone broke out in cold sweat.

A dignified saint immortal naturally wouldn’t lie to a group of earth immortals and golden immortals like them—deceiving them would serve no purpose.

Since he had said it, it must be true.

So many people immediately gave up.

Kong Lan from the Non-Evil Heaven closed her feather fan, her two crescent eyebrows furrowing. Knowing the situation had changed, she directly called to her left and right: “This is urgent. We’ll go into the city first to inform the clan elders, then decide what to do.”

Having said this, she immediately stepped away.

About ten demon cultivators from the Non-Evil Heaven all rose from their seats and followed her into the city.

Though Jiangnan Shore on Ang Su Star couldn’t be considered a prosperous city in the Haotian Star Domain, it did have spatial transmission arrays for sending messages, enough for Kong Lan to transmit messages to the Non-Evil Heaven across dozens of star domains.

Everyone watched her leave.

The remaining earth immortals whispered among themselves, and most also stood up.

Seeing this, Jin Yinzi also frowned, thinking Li Xieyang’s methods were too domineering—to blockade such a vast star domain at will. He was quite displeased.

He wasn’t as indifferent as he appeared.

In fact, his parents had been trying to break through to the saint immortal realm for a long time without success, and the Kongfang Sect was gradually declining. Finding a saint immortal for guidance was truly difficult, and others might not be willing to expend great cultivation to help them succeed. So in desperation, they had set their sights on the killing reward of this death warrant.

Any saint immortal who dared to issue a death warrant through the Non-Evil Heaven was definitely not simple, and one who dared to promise such a reward as “one’s pledge” must have considerable strength.

He didn’t know why Kong Lan had come, but he had definitely come for this killing reward.

He hadn’t heard that Li Xieyang had designs on this death warrant before, but now they were getting involved at this time—it was truly frustrating!

“Young Master, shall we leave?”

A nearby elder saw his expression changing unpredictably and couldn’t help asking quietly.

Jin Yinzi slightly gritted his teeth, about to say “what are we staying here for if we don’t leave,” but just as he opened his mouth and raised his head, he caught sight of an alluring female cultivator in the corner who was standing up at this moment.

Wearing loose black robes that seemed to reveal yet conceal, she didn’t look like any proper fairy from the Great Luo Heaven, but rather had a somewhat demonic and seductive manner.

He had glanced at her before but hadn’t paid attention.

After all, this female cultivator was just sitting in the corner, and her cultivation didn’t seem high, with very little immortal power remaining in her body. He had thought she was with Kong Lan’s demon clan people. But now he realized that Kong Lan had been gone for a while, and she was only just standing up.

Jin Yinzi suddenly felt something subtle.

Before their group of golden immortals arrived, there had been many earth immortals, but after they came, the earth immortals with too low cultivation had all left on their own, fearing they might be implicated. But this female cultivator with such meager cultivation had calmly sat below the city wall for so long?

Such audacity was quite remarkable.

Moreover, she wasn’t from the demon clan!

“Stop!”

So many thoughts raced through his mind in such complexity that Jin Yinzi couldn’t sort them out clearly himself. Acting almost on a strong instinct from his consciousness, he coldly shouted at the female cultivator!

Everyone who hadn’t had time to leave was startled.

They first looked at Jin Yinzi, then followed his gaze to look at the female cultivator.

Only a cold, alluring, and enchanting silhouette was visible.

She carried no weapons and didn’t look like someone with formidable strength.

Everyone wondered why Jin Yinzi was stopping her.

But Jin Yinzi didn’t relax his vigilance. After shouting that command, his heartbeat became intense and his mind suddenly became clear. He waved his hand to his subordinates behind him.

Over ten earth immortals and several golden immortals immediately surrounded the female cultivator.

Jin Yinzi stood in place without moving a step, staring intently at that silhouette, commanding again: “Turn around!”

Jian Chou hadn’t expected to be stopped at this crucial moment when she was about to leave, and was somewhat surprised.

Li Xieyang sounded like a ruthless character, not someone to trifle with.

Since Fujian Sheng had warned everyone earlier, she naturally wanted to take this opportunity to slip away mixed in with the crowd.

But this Jin Yinzi seemed to have noticed some clues.

She wasn’t panicked, just slightly frowned, her gaze sweeping over the dozen or so cultivators of varying cultivation levels who were surrounding her, then turned around.

A face radiating brilliant light appeared before everyone.

Jian Chou didn’t even smile, like a person carved from ice and snow, asking coldly: “Is there something you need?”

Clothes like night, skin like snow.

With those vermillion lips and indifferent eyes.

Even Jin Yinzi, who had seen all kinds of beauties and fairies in the Upper Void, couldn’t help but hold his breath, nearly having his soul hooked away. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, his brows furrowing even deeper, his voice becoming even colder: “Those who could quickly arrive here after Sun Cheng’s death should all be cultivators from Ang Su Star—outsiders are extremely rare. How is it that I don’t know of such a fairy as yourself in this place?”

“Ang Su Star is small, but the Haotian Star Domain is vast. Having one or two people you don’t recognize is perfectly normal, isn’t it?”

The other party suspected her.

Jian Chou had encountered countless more dangerous situations than this—how could she reveal a flaw at this moment?

She also guessed the other party wouldn’t stop her without reason.

If he dared to stop her, he must have means to distinguish.

Sure enough, as soon as her words landed, Jin Yinzi had already laughed coldly: “Is that so? But how can I not dare believe there would be such a death-defying earth immortal on Ang Su Star!”

“Swoosh!”

As he spoke these words, a white-haired elder nearby had already understood his meaning and directly raised his hand, shooting out a dark purple sharp light!

Those who didn’t know might think this was just an ordinary sneak attack, but those with knowledge immediately recognized the power of this object—

Soul-Testing Hook!

As long as it contained a person’s soul aura, it could test whether someone was the owner of that soul aura!

Though Jian Chou was new to the immortal realm and had never seen this hook before, when it shot straight toward her, she already felt a certain connection with her soul.

In an instant, she had guessed this object’s purpose!

Under such circumstances, how could she dare let this thing get close?

Her eyes and brows turned cold, and the displeasure in her heart suddenly intensified. Jian Chou flew backward and flicked her finger, sending out a sharp burst of energy that collided head-on with the deep purple soul-testing hook without yielding an inch. With a “clang,” it fiercely shattered the hook in the void!

“Not daring to let the soul-testing hook get close, and you still dare say you’re a cultivator from this realm?!”

Jin Yinzi wasn’t a fool.

If earlier he had only had a flash of inspiration to test her, now seeing Jian Chou’s response, he believed his guess was seventy to eighty percent correct.

This female cultivator before him, even if she wasn’t Jian Chou, was probably not someone good either!

With a “whoosh,” he unhesitatingly drew a black and silver iron chain from his chest, directly calling out to the cultivators around who hadn’t had time to leave: “This demoness must be Jian Chou! If you all help us kill her and take her life, the Kongfang Sect will reward you handsomely!”

The many cultivators who were about to leave became somewhat hesitant upon hearing this.

The Kongfang Sect was already quite powerful, and they naturally didn’t have the ability to compete with it. Moreover, Li Xieyang was already blockading the entire star domain, so they had planned to leave.

But Jin Yinzi’s words made them feel tempted again.

They couldn’t kill Jian Chou, but the Kongfang Sect wasn’t exactly a small sect either…

Every death warrant issued by the Non-Evil Heaven was made of special materials. Once an immortal hunter completed the task on the death warrant, they could burn it. The great formation in the Non-Evil Heaven would sense the burning of the death warrant and automatically transmit the task completion message to the person who issued the death warrant. The issuer held the Deathless Order corresponding to the death warrant and could establish divine consciousness contact with the immortal hunter through the formation to verify task completion and communicate about the reward.

This meant the task delivery process was very fast.

As long as they could quickly kill Jian Chou and burn the death warrant, even when Li Xieyang’s people arrived, it wouldn’t matter much, and they couldn’t seize this reward that was already “one’s pledge.”

Jin Yinzi had precisely calculated this point, and since he truly suspected Jian Chou had something fishy about her, following the principle of better to kill wrongly than let go, he had to forcibly detain her and take the risk of killing her before Li Xieyang’s people arrived!

The others naturally understood this logic too.

For these immortals in the Upper Void, calculating the pros and cons really didn’t require much time. In just two or three breaths, they all held their respective magical artifacts and surrounded Jian Chou.

From Fujian Sheng’s warning about Li Xieyang’s star domain blockade, to everyone gradually leaving, to Jian Chou suddenly being stopped, and finally to this tense standoff—the entire sequence had taken at most a quarter of an hour!

The Upper Void was truly the Upper Void!

The speed of changing circumstances was truly dazzling, even she, the person in the eye of the storm, could barely react.

When it came to the point where they were about to fight, Jian Chou actually relaxed. She knew that no matter how she argued, it would be useless. Even if she really wasn’t Jian Chou now, she would probably be killed first by this group of people, leaving her no chance of survival.

So there was no need for more words.

She looked around at the circle. Every cultivator’s blade and sword was aimed at her, ready to pounce and become deadly opponents at any moment.

But she laughed.

Her gaze turned and fell on Jin Yinzi. Jian Chou spoke with a meaningful tone, asking a question that would scare people into a cold sweat if they thought about it carefully: “With just this few people, how do you dare to surround and kill me?”

Just this…

few people?

Jin Yinzi only saw the alluring female cultivator’s face quietly change as she said these words, like a snow lotus blooming on an ice peak.

Clearly she was stunningly beautiful, but at this moment he opened his eyes wide in terror!

Because that wasn’t just a face!

A massive formation had already covered the entire Haotian Star Domain, with blood-red curtains rising from the surroundings toward the center, causing panic among countless cultivators in the domain.

The figures of Fujian Sheng and Daoist Diandao swept past from above.

They had passed through before this formation completely sealed, and the cultivators from Li Xieyang who saw them didn’t obstruct them.

After all, they were two saint immortals. Even though they were Li Xieyang with Xieyang Sheng backing them, they didn’t have the audacity to block two saint immortals who had nothing to do with this matter.

The one who came on orders this time was a great general under Xieyang Sheng—

Ying Hui.

Ying Hui was originally a demon from the Non-Evil Heaven. After attaining the dao, he had slipped out and devoured several immortals from the Great Luo Heaven, thus earning pursuit. Fortunately, Xieyang Sheng had protected him, saving his life, and he had served Xieyang Sheng ever since.

His true form was a viper snake. With another three to five hundred years of cultivation, he could become a responding dragon and glimpse the mysteries of the saint immortal realm. After attaining the dao and transforming into human form, he was tall and robust, wearing a deep black robe crawling with intricate patterns, entirely like fearsome snakeskin. His dark pupils were vaguely vertical, revealing some dark red light.

His collar was brazenly open, revealing his solid chest.

When he smiled at people, he would show two small fangs, both innocent and evil.

This time making such a big commotion by blockading the star domain just to pursue and intercept a small, newly ascended earth immortal, Ying Hui found it quite boring.

He stood in front of everyone, boredly picking his ears.

When he saw the blockading formation had covered almost everything, he seemed impatient with waiting. With a big wave of his hand, he directly summoned Li Xieyang’s people to follow behind him, flying into the vast star domain, heading straight for Ang Su Star.

The location of Jiangnan Shore was truly too conspicuous on Ang Su Star, covered as it was by yellow sand.

Ying Hui descended from the heights of the sky, initially paying no attention.

However, when he could clearly see the situation below, he saw a glaring red amid the deep and shallow shades of green!

Jiangnan Shore was like a piece of green silk dropped in the desert, and this red that absolutely shouldn’t appear was like a thorny flower casually embroidered on the silk!

Extremely eye-catching!

Even for Ying Hui, born of the demon clan and accustomed to bloody slaughter, when he landed below the city wall at this moment, he couldn’t help but twitch his eyelids and feel a chill in his heart!

The hastily built wooden shed showed no damage at all, and even the tables and chairs carved from wood inside were still intact in their original places, as if nothing had happened here.

Only dozens of cultivators stood in formation below the wall, motionless.

Everyone faced the city wall with their backs to the outside.

Crimson fresh blood flowed from beneath their feet, seeping into the soil below, dyeing it deep red.

In the thick smell of blood was mixed a faint fragrance of green grass.

Ying Hui’s pair of vertical pupils immediately contracted into golden-red demonic eyes. Without reaching out his hand, he used the fang blade that had followed him for many years to poke at the cultivator nearest to him.

“Thud”—a head fell from the person’s shoulders.

The person also fell to the side with a “bang.”

It was like a string of beads being broken—when one bead fell, all the other beads followed with a clattering sound.

The dozens of corpses in front all fell down together!

“Thud, thud, thud…”

Human heads scattered across the ground!

Ying Hui looked toward the end of this row of corpses, only to see the high city wall was empty, with only a line of bold, unrestrained characters written in iron hooks and silver strokes—

I advise you, cherish life!

The killer: Jian Chou.
