Unknown Star Domain
The figure in front of Cao Ying vanished, and once it completely disappeared, her eyes were filled with killing intent.
Just a moment ago, Cao Ying contacted the immortal of the Heavenly Court to report the information she gathered about the Demon Domain and requested to end her mission. However, she was scolded by the immortal of the Heavenly Court. Not only was she told to continue exploring the Demon Domain, but she was also required to learn more about the Demon Immortal and establish a proper intelligence network.
"They really want to push me to my limit; how cruel!"
Cao Ying felt a surge of anger. This time, Immortal Lord Chang Rong was clearly determined to push Cao Ying to the brink. He wouldn’t rest until he defeated her.
Even so, Cao Ying couldn’t fight back directly unless she was prepared to leave the Heavenly Court. For now, she could only obey.
This made Cao Ying very unhappy. In the later stages of the cultivation era on Blue Star, Cao Ying was one of the absolute top figures of the human race. Who would dare to plot against her? After the recovery of spiritual energy, Lin Jiang had gained control over the high-level powers of Blue Star and held a supreme position. Now, being pressured like this, how could she feel happy?
However, Cao Ying was not a reckless person; she quickly found her calm and then soared away. One Blue Star month later, she met Liang Long again.
"Immortal Lord Chang Rong is putting on such pressure. If we don’t respond, it seems a bit unfair to them. Taoist Friend Cao Ying, what do you think?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I heard Lin Jiang say that Chang Rong has a brother named Immortal Chang Qing, who is part of the hidden forces of the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Yes, do you want to deal with Immortal Chang Qing?"
"If my guess is right, the one who will ultimately come after you is this Chang Qing. Immortal Lord Chang Rong is a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court; he won’t act directly. The obvious immortals won’t take action either. I have a plan to draw him out."
"Are you sure? This Immortal Chang Qing probably has the same power as Immortal Lord, or even stronger."
Cao Ying said that although Immortal Chang Qing had not obtained the title of Immortal Lord, he became an immortal earlier than Chang Rong and was an early confidant of the Heavenly Emperor, making him even stronger.
"Let’s test the waters and see how far we are from Immortal Lord."
"Alright, I will risk my life to accompany a gentleman, I will take this chance, but if we act, we must handle things carefully afterward and not leave any hidden dangers for Blue Star."
Cao Ying said, to be honest, if it weren’t for the people in the Blue Star camp, she wouldn’t have to endure this.
"Don’t worry, I’m confident. Just find a place to quietly work on yourself, after three to five years, I will let you know about the Demon Domain."
"Will this reveal your existence?"
"No, I will handle the information carefully."
Liang Long nodded. He had been planning the Demon Domain for many years. Many of the demon beasts he created back then are already at level seven or eight. He knows a lot about the situation within the demon race and has even gained some understanding of the Demon Immortals by befriending the divine beasts among the demon race.
Seeing Liang Long say this, Cao Ying agreed.
Unknown Star Domain, a certain life planet
This life planet is not on the Heavenly Court’s list, and it does not even appear on the Heavenly Court’s Star Chart in its entire star system. Outside its star system, a huge immortal formation has been set up to hide the whole star system.
There aren’t many beings on this life planet, only about ten thousand. Among them, there are several hundred immortals, and the rest are cultivators, but all the cultivators are just beginning to achieve the Tao.
All these people are secret followers of the Heavenly Emperor, or part of the secret followers.
"Master, we received news from the Heavenly Court, the target has appeared again. Prepare to return to the Heavenly Court."
On this day, Immortal Chang Qing received a report from his subordinates that the target they were waiting for had appeared.
"Chang Rong is becoming more useless. A small immortal who has only been immortal for a few thousand years cannot even handle this."
Immortal Chang Qing sneered, showing great disdain for his brother.
"Master, we cannot blame Immortal Lord Chang Rong. Although he has been immortal for a short time, he has gained a lot from several battles with the Buddhist sect and is not an ordinary immortal."
"You sure know how to excuse him. Fine, I will go myself. Take a few people with you and seal off his escape route. We cannot let him run away again, or the Heavenly Emperor will get angry."
Immortal Chang Qing said, "To deal with Cao Ying and take down Blue Star is also for the great cause of the Heavenly Emperor."
Because the source of immortals in the Heavenly Court is very complex, with six Star Domains and hundreds of planets, if we break down the powers, there would be so many that we wouldn’t know them all. The structure of the Heavenly Court is actually quite loose, and this is inevitable since those immortals are figures known as ancestors in the lower realm. If they were too tightly controlled, they would feel uncomfortable and would rebel.
This scattered state makes it easier for the Heavenly Emperor to control everything. At the same time, because of this, Blue Star’s sudden rise makes the Heavenly Emperor somewhat displeased, as the immortals in the Blue Star camp are too united and their potential is too great. Although they do not pose a threat to the Heavenly Emperor for now, those who serve him must worry for their master.
Therefore, Immortal Lord Chang Rong started to plot against Blue Star. First, he sent Chang Le to test Lin Jiang and discuss cooperation. Unfortunately, Lin Jiang was clueless and did not show any response to his superior’s probe, so they had to take stronger action.
Removing Cao Ying is the first step, then forcing the Blue Star camp to act as cannon fodder in a long interstellar conflict, pushing them to join Immortal Lord Chang Rong, marry Chang Le, and then Chang Le would gradually seize control of Blue Star’s resources. This is the best way to swallow them up.
So the first step must be done well, not only to pave the way for Chang Le but also to intimidate everyone in Blue Star. If they are wise, once Cao Ying is gone, they should join Immortal Lord Chang Rong, exchanging their resources for safety, thus avoiding other steps.
Immortal Chang Qing took three capable subordinates and quickly flew away from that place. Ten days later, they were hiding on a deserted planet.
Immortal Chang Qing used his vision skill and saw Cao Ying reporting to a Golden Armor Immortal from millions of kilometers away.
"Congratulations, Immortal Cao Ying, for completing the task from the Heavenly Court. For the next few hundred years, you will have no other tasks and can focus on your training."
The Golden Armor Immortal looked at the information given by Cao Ying and was greatly shocked. This information had much in common with what the Heavenly Court possessed, but it was even more detailed, with some details that the Heavenly Court was not aware of.
What is important is that the Heavenly Court gathered this level of information from many sources, while Cao Ying, just as one person, completed it in a few years. This ability is enough to draw attention.
"Thank you, great one."
"I will leave first; you wait and return to the Heavenly Court by yourself."
The Golden Armor Immortal nodded and then disappeared without a trace.
Once the Golden Armor Immortal left, Cao Ying took out a jade talisman, filled it with celestial energy, and a passage appeared. Cao Ying flew through the passage towards the Heavenly Court.
"Boom!"
Halfway there, the passage collapsed; it was the Immortal Chang Qing who struck.
"Who are you to dare attack the Immortal of the Heavenly Court?"
Cao Ying shouted loudly, not fleeing but instead taking out a magical weapon, her gaze cold as she stared at the several immortals surrounding her.
The immortals had disguised themselves, appearing as a confusing blur even to their fellow immortals, making it hard to see clearly.
A silent force of rules spread forth, exploding in front of Cao Ying, sending her flying. Immortal Chang Qing said nothing, not wasting a word, and attacked directly.
"Die."
Cao Ying fought desperately, channeling all the power of the rules into her sword, striking with all her strength. The sword sent forth a wave of destructive energy toward Immortal Chang Qing.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
However, the seemingly unstoppable energy from the sword was slowly being erased by Immortal Chang Qing, vanishing without a trace.
"You..."
Cao Ying’s face changed dramatically, and she immediately turned to flee, pouring all her power into her speed.
"Stop!"
The three fairies around immediately joined forces to stop Cao Ying.
Cao Ying used all her strength to fight back and carved a bloody path.
"The Chang sisters are truly as amazing as everyone says."
Cao Ying sighed to herself; the fairies from Blue Star had worked hard, but sadly they were not as strong as the ancient fairies who had been around for hundreds of thousands of years. The Chang sisters were not to be underestimated, and Immortal Chang Qing definitely had strength equal to an Immortal Lord.
"Useless."
Immortal Chang Qing also cursed silently, realizing that Cao Ying was indeed very powerful. The fairies from Blue Star had gained great advantages during many wars, so in just a few thousand years, they were almost as strong as the ordinary ancient fairies.
Cao Ying ran for her life while a few others chased her desperately; after running about a billion kilometers, Immortal Chang Qing suddenly felt a strong sense of danger rising in his heart.
Immortal Chang Qing hurriedly stopped and released all his senses, and he saw a shocking scene: the space around him was collapsing inch by inch. Six black holes had appeared in every direction, and a terrifying pressure was tearing at his body.
"Ha ha, I caught a big fish!"
A loud and cheerful laugh filled Chang Qing’s ears. Struggling against the pulling force, Chang Qing suddenly looked up and saw a giant Heavenly Tiger Demon Immortal watching him with a cold smile.
