Jun Changxiao had been careless.
He thought he could sneak into the Star Spirit Realm silently using Xiaotian Unit’s stealth function, but the moment he entered, he was discovered.
This trip was only for reconnaissance.
So Jun Changxiao didn’t choose to fight but hid in the deep mountains and old forests.
As it happened, a Star Spirit Realm warrior inadvertently passed by. With no other choice, he captured them first to see if he could obtain some useful information.
From this, you could see that Dog Leftover was quite cautious. He didn’t blindly dispatch large battle fleets and masses of disciples to march on the city. Instead, he first scouted the situation to understand the Star Spirit Realm’s overall strength.
The moment he entered and felt heaven and earth attributes even more majestic than the Eternal Realm, he realized this plane probably belonged to that elite tier, and there would definitely be higher-grade spirit stone resources here.
“Mine.”
“All mine!”
Thinking this, Jun Changxiao said coldly: “Turn around.”
“…”
The captured Demon Ancestor’s face was extremely ugly, but he could only obediently turn around.
If he were at full strength, he might still resist. Now he could only submit.
These years of struggling at the bottom of the Star Spirit Realm had long stripped away his boss-like demeanor. As long as he could survive, never mind throwing matches—he’d even be willing to serve as a punching bag.
The Demon Ancestor had fallen to this state—whose fault was it?
Blame the dog.
The resurrection plan had been prepared for many years. Just when it was about to succeed, the Innate Sacred Demon Body was snatched by Yao Mengying, along with a million Demon Illusion soldiers.
No matter.
As long as the resurrection succeeded, he could still make a comeback.
Reality was cruel.
Later, the Demon Ancestor suffered another fatal blow—his perfectly reshaped body was stolen by Ye Xingchen.
Constitution, subordinates, body.
Years of effort and years of planning ultimately all benefited the Eternal Sect.
The Demon Ancestor, barely surviving in the Star Spirit Realm, would become furious and his eyes would split with rage whenever he thought of this. So as long as his strength recovered, his first task upon returning to the Upper Realm would be to destroy the Eternal Sect and trample their heads underfoot!
No need to go.
Because Jun Changxiao had come.
When the Demon Ancestor slowly turned around, when they both saw each other clearly, when their eyes focused together, they both froze subconsciously, then said in unison: “It’s you!”
…
Fate.
Wondrous beyond words.
Jun Changxiao and the Demon Ancestor had unexpectedly met in the wilderness.
If everyone didn’t have some understanding of the author, they’d almost think this was deliberately arranged.
“What a coincidence.”
Dog Leftover lowered the Xuanyuan Divine Sword and smiled: “To actually encounter an acquaintance in a foreign plane.”
“Hmph!”
The Demon Ancestor immediately recovered his kingly demeanor and said coldly: “What a coincidence!”
Though he said this, he was secretly mobilizing his power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the culprit who had caused him to fall to lower-class resident status.
“What’s this?”
Jun Changxiao seemed not to notice and asked with concern: “You look injured?”
“…”
Hearing this, the Demon Ancestor hurriedly withdrew his power.
Several years ago, this kid’s strength was already considerable. Now he’d probably improved… somewhat. With his own injuries, if he attacked and failed to kill him, his situation would definitely become dangerous.
His guess was correct.
Over these years, Jun Changxiao really had improved—not just somewhat, but a tremendous amount.
Back then, Dog Leftover had barely touched half-step Heavenly Secret level. Now he was a genuine Heavenly Secret Realm cultivator.
The Demon Ancestor had also grown.
But he was still at the half-step level.
Never mind his current injuries—even at full strength, if they really fought, he’d definitely be instantly killed.
“Old brother.”
Jun Changxiao put one hand on his shoulder: “You’ve been in the Star Spirit Realm for about ten-plus years now. You should have some understanding of the situation here, right?”
“What do you mean?”
The Demon Ancestor’s face darkened.
During this time, he kept looking for opportunities, looking for openings.
Perhaps because Jun Changxiao currently regarded him as a fellow countryman, his words and actions showed no defense whatsoever—openings everywhere.
However.
The Demon Ancestor dared not make a move.
Unless he had absolute certainty, he must endure.
“Old brother.”
Jun Changxiao said: “In the eyes of Upper Realm warriors, you’re already a traitor. Don’t you want to reform and start anew?”
“…”
The Demon Ancestor was silent for a long while, then roared: “I’ve fallen to this state—isn’t it all because of you!”
“Let’s not mention past matters.” Jun Changxiao said: “This time I’m giving you a chance to reform. Tell me everything you know about the Star Spirit Realm.”
“Why should I tell you?”
“Bang!”
Jun Changxiao suddenly pressed him to the ground, his gaze cold: “Because of strength.”
“Hiss—”
Because the movement was too large, it aggravated his injuries. The Demon Ancestor’s expression gradually became ferocious, and he celebrated inwardly: “This guy really has gotten stronger. Good thing I didn’t rashly attack just now!”
“I’ll talk!”
“I’ll talk!”
He submitted.
At this point, there was no choice—after all, he was injured.
What the Demon Ancestor thought was: first stabilize that guy, wait for his injuries to heal, then find an opportunity to counterattack.
“Speak.”
Jun Changxiao sat down.
However, sensing dozens of auras rapidly flying from the distance, he immediately disappeared from the spot. The hidden Xiaotian Unit also vanished.
Seeing that guy disappear into thin air, the Demon Ancestor’s eyes widened.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Streams of light flew from afar.
They were over ten warriors wearing identical clothing. Judging from the material, it was very precious, representing extraordinary status. Special tokens hung from their waists.
“First-class nobles…”
The Demon Ancestor roughly guessed their identity from the tokens.
“Hm?”
The leading young man stopped and looked down at the person below with a very arrogant attitude, saying indifferently: “Why is a lower-class servant corpse here?”
“…”
The Demon Ancestor lowered his head, a flash of anger crossing his gaze.
In terms of strength, he was much stronger than these dozens of people. But since his soul resided in a servant corpse, even though his labor service was complete, he was still just a lower-class resident, still 9527, still had to revere nobles according to regulations.
Simply put.
In the strictly hierarchical Star Spirit Realm, strength wasn’t the only standard for determining status.
“Hey.”
A noble warrior asked disdainfully: “You, lower-class servant corpse, have you seen any suspicious people?”
“No.”
The Demon Ancestor answered decisively.
He wasn’t helping Jun Changxiao but helping himself, because the other party was definitely nearby. If he sold him out, he might be finished the next second.
“Let’s go.”
The noble leader said: “Let’s search elsewhere.”
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped in place, turned back with a cold gaze toward the Demon Ancestor, and said: “According to Star Spirit Law, lower-class residents must kneel before upper-class nobles. Why aren’t you kneeling?”
“…”
The Demon Ancestor still lowered his head, but his gaze grew more angry.
A group of juniors, a group of trash, actually daring to make this ancestor kneel.
“Plop!”
Suddenly, the Demon Ancestor knelt down.
He was just a servant corpse given a body. His life and death were completely beyond his control. Moreover, if he wanted to continue surviving in the Star Spirit Realm, he must endure, must compromise.
This kneel—
Represented the Demon Ancestor completely losing his dignity.
If it could resolve the trouble, kneeling was fine. But… not only did it not resolve anything, it made the young man suspicious: “Every servant corpse should be familiar with Star Spirit Law. Unless…” His gaze turned cold: “You’re an imposter!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
His companions surrounded them.
Kneeling on the ground, the Demon Ancestor’s expression became increasingly ferocious. The anger stored in his heart for over ten years could no longer be controlled. He raised his head and roared loudly: “This ancestor has already knelt, what more do you want!”
“Ancestor?”
“Insolent!”
“This guy must be the one who invaded the Star Spirit Realm without permission earlier, deliberately disguising himself as a servant corpse to slip through!”
Everyone became furious.
The leader said coldly: “Better to kill wrongly than let one go!”
“Attack!”
“Boom—”
Before the words finished, a powerful force appeared out of nowhere. The leader was instantly obliterated into nothingness, blood splattering on his companions’ faces. They looked dumbfounded to the side and saw Jun Changxiao walking out, shaking his head.
“If even kneeling without dignity still can’t solve the problem, then the best method is to fight them… to the end!”
“Bang bang!”
“Bang bang bang!”
Dozens of warriors in states of shock and confusion turned into a rain of blood.
The Demon Ancestor below was splattered. He remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the communicator that had fallen to the ground. It had his image on it and had been transmitted. Only then did his knees slowly leave the ground. When he finally stood upright, he roared loudly: “Jun Changxiao, you’re going to get me killed!”
