Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal

Although the Xuanshan Alliance does not belong to any of the Three Sects and Four Families, it is a commercial alliance composed of hundreds of forces, large and small.

It is said that even some people within the Three Sects and Four Families hold shares in it.

Moreover, the taxes contributed to the Yanhuang Star Domain by the Xuanshan Alliance each cultivation cycle are not insignificant, making it highly influential in the Yanhuang Star Domain.

To use the saying from Blue Star...

It is probably one of the top fifty enterprises in the Yanhuang Star Domain.

After all, the Three Sects and Four Families, along with the industries controlled by the Domain Master Mansion, touch on every aspect, and even though the Xuanshan Alliance is second only to these forces, in terms of influence, ranking in the top thirty would be the limit.

Such a powerful force, even if guilty of certain crimes on normal days, would have the higher-ups turning a blind eye.

But when it involves Divine Spirits...

"Whoosh."

Space fluctuations flickered.

Qin Yiren quickly arrived at the scene.

"You're here? Take a look."

Gu Jinlai handed her the token.

"This is..."

Qin Yiren looked at it for a moment, quickly realizing something, her expression turned grave: "No wonder this demigod has lingered in the Changyuan Realm for so long without being eradicated. It turns out to be the Xuanshan Alliance causing trouble!? The influence of the Xuanshan Alliance in the Yanhuang Star Domain is immense, involving hundreds of Golden Immortals. We must notify the Elders to handle this personally."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

This is the advantage of having a family to rely on.

There are always people to help solve some trivial matters, and he doesn't have to spend too much effort.

...

Not long after, the Boundary Lord of Changyuan Realm arrived with gratitude all over his face: "Thank you all for your help in eliminating this scourge for my Changyuan Realm."

Gu Jinlai nodded: "Boundary Lord of Changyuan Realm, please wait a moment. We still need to wrap up some things."

"Understood, understood."

The Boundary Lord of Changyuan Realm quickly nodded: "I've already arranged a banquet for you two as a token of appreciation. I wonder if..."

"Gladly."

Gu Jinlai smiled in response.

Qin Yiren, however, paid no attention to the Boundary Lord of Changyuan Realm, swiftly organizing the evidence related to the demigod's collusion with the Xuanshan Alliance.

A Golden Immortal who can ascend to the position of Boundary Lord holds quite a background in the Yanhuang Star Domain, with strength to match, but compared to the Qin Family's direct lineage, it still falls short.

Especially one like Qin Yiren, who almost became an Immortal Seed.

"Whoosh!"

Soon after, streams of light filled the sky.

It was a large starship breaking the sky.

Even though it hadn't yet entered the Changyuan Realm, its massive size still cast a visible shadow like that of a satellite, even exerting a slight gravitational effect on the surroundings.

"A Sunshine Level battleship!?"

This scene left the Boundary Lord of Changyuan Realm confused, and his eyes showed a hint of terror.

Just like how the rank of Sunshine Level is generally awarded only to Immortal Golden Immortals, a Sunshine Level battleship also signifies the vehicle of an Immortal Golden Immortal.

With a Sunshine Level battleship appearing outside Changyuan Realm, it's akin to dozens of Fourth Generation Fighters hovering over a small county town...

The Boundary Lord of Changyuan Realm couldn't help but panic.

As a flash of light beamed past, Wei Qingqing and several others landed simultaneously.

The Flowing Light Path, traveling at light speed, combined with the Nihility Dao, which nullifies all fluctuations, allowed them to maintain light speed without affecting the atmosphere or geology of this world.

Qin Yiren quickly handed the collected evidence to Wei Qingqing.

Wei Qingqing glanced at it and handed it to a man behind her: "Chang Kong."

The man named Chang Kong carefully examined the evidence and nodded with some excitement: "It's the Xuanshan Alliance. Finally, we have the evidence to take action."

"Good."

Wei Qingqing smiled: "Changqing, Yiren, you've made a great contribution. Without you, we wouldn't have known that such a renegade group still existed in the Yanhuang Star Domain."

"I didn't do much, it's thanks to Changqing's attention to detail."

Qin Yiren said.

"No need to be modest. In any case, when this is reported, the Domain Master will surely note your achievement."

Wei Qingqing said, turning her gaze to Gu Jinlai: "Since you discovered this matter, why don't you lead the raid on the Xuanshan Alliance, how about it?"

Her words caused a slight change in the expressions of the Golden Immortals who followed her.

But none of them said anything.

"You want me to raid the Xuanshan Alliance?"

Gu Jinlai quickly understood Wei Qingqing's intention.

The Xuanshan Alliance is a force second only to the Domain Master Mansion and the Three Sects and Four Families Level forces. Conducting a raid on such a force would undoubtedly yield significant benefits.

If successful, they could probably accumulate enough for half an Immortal Artifact.

By offering him such an opportunity, Wei Qingqing was essentially doing him a favor.

But he had already accumulated too much favor from the Qin Family, so he couldn't be too greedy.

Moreover...

Based on what the Golden Immortal just said, they were also investigating the Xuanshan Alliance, but had been unable to act due to a lack of evidence.

If he were to truly take charge of resolving the Xuanshan Alliance affair, it would undoubtedly cause some dissatisfaction among these Golden Immortals who had invested much effort in investigating the alliance.

Currently, he could yield millions of Spirit Crystals just by killing a demigod, so there was no need to vie for benefits from Wei Qingqing's subordinates.

He immediately said: "The Xuanshan Alliance is formidable, and with my capabilities, I might not be able to cover all aspects. If there are any omissions, it could lead to endless troubles. I should continue with the original plan, hunting the demigods, and leave the Xuanshan Alliance matter to Assistant Wei and everyone else."

This remark made the other Golden Immortals, including Wei Qingqing, a little surprised.

After pondering for a moment, this Honorable Daoist nodded: "Alright, be careful. If there's any danger, remember to ask for help immediately. If we're nearby, we'll rush over at once."

"Understood."

Gu Jinlai agreed.

The Golden Immortal named Chang Kong looked at Gu Jinlai with a noticeably friendlier gaze.

Qin Yiren saw this and seemed to understand something.

Then, Gu Jinlai and Qin Yiren bid farewell to Wei Qingqing and continued to search for new hunting targets.

...

Gu Jinlai, who left the Changyuan Realm, did not know that the events on this side rapidly spread to the Sky Splitting Sect on the other side of the Xuanhuang Star Domain.

At this moment, the Sect Master Lie Tian in the inner hall of the Sky Splitting Sect frowned.

"Senior brother, are they about to arrive?"

Opposite him were the other two Golden Immortals of the Sky Splitting Sect, Zhen Tian and Xuan Tian.

Although the three of them, unlike Cang Qing, were not direct disciples of the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, they were also True Disciples of the Void Sword Sect.

However, now they have become Honorable Daoists, naturally shedding their True Inheritor status and traveling as External Elders of the Void Sword Sect.

When Cang Qing served as the Yanhuang Star Domain Master, the Sky Splitting Sect, by maintaining an external stance, suppressed the development of the other few sects and families in the Yanhuang Star Domain. However, as Cang Qing was punished, their situation clearly became difficult.

They not only had to face the backlash from the other two sects and four families but also endure the suppression from the new Domain Master Qin Yuyan.

In this situation, they urgently needed to find new support.

At this time, when No-Self Immortal Venerable's direct disciple Gu Yin Dao Venerable came to them for a favor, they naturally had to give it their all.

"That kid didn't take the bait."

Lie Tian handed the information to the two junior brothers to view.

"Didn't take the bait? Even such a huge benefit as the Xuanshan Alliance couldn't lure him?"

Zhen Tian was somewhat incredulous.

"Now it's troublesome."

Xuan Tian's expression was serious: "If he came to raid Xuanshan Alliance, we could completely use this pawn as bait, dispatch experts, and encircle him. But now he didn't take the bait… not only did we lose such an important chess piece, but we also failed to accomplish the task assigned by Brother Gu Yin…"

"Had we known earlier, we wouldn't have been so cautious. We might as well have done as Brother Gu Yin and Domain Master Yu Hui suggested, directly…"

Zhen Tian was somewhat displeased.

But he was interrupted by a glare from Lie Tian before he could finish: "Silence!"

Zhen Tian flinched and dared not speak further.

Even though they became Honorable Daoists and enjoyed eternal life, they all comprehended Daos that were not adept at combat. Despite having cultivated longer than Yanhuang Star Domain Master Qin Yuyan, their cultivation was only a few dozen epochs.

Even their senior brother's cultivation was only a hundred epochs.

With such cultivation, they could be local tyrants, but in the Void Sword Sect, where the strong are like clouds, they weren't even considered high-level, at most mid-level.

Each of them had a large number of descendants behind them, representing massive vested interest groups, and the core of the benefits these groups could obtain depended on their weight in the Void Sword Sect.

Therefore, when faced with reprimand from a more influential person like Lie Tian, Zhen Tian dared not leave as ordinary Golden Immortals might upon confronting top Golden Immortals.

"Don't blame me for my poor attitude, but when it comes to those people's affairs, it's a taboo for any of us. Once involved, unless you're a direct disciple of an Immortal Venerable, no one can save you."

Lie Tian slightly softened his tone: "Since things have come to this, it's impossible for us to complete Brother Gu Yin's task in a relatively safe way, so we can only... proceed as planned."

"Understood!"

Zhen Tian and Xuan Tian replied solemnly.

After responding, Xuan Tian further added: "I'll personally go make contact."

"Alright."

Lie Tian nodded.

...

Gu Jinlai and Qin Yiren traveled through the stars aboard the Star Shuttle.

In just three years, he had taken down nine Demigods.

The efficiency of this hunt was unbelievably fast.

Bear in mind, someone like Liu Wanhu, wandering across star domains, could hunt down a Demigod in ten years…

Finding a Demigod itself was considered a significant achievement.

As for killing?

That was something beyond their imagination.

The reason Gu Jinlai had such astonishing hunting efficiency was partly due to the intelligence provided by the Yanhuang Star Domain.

Each piece of intelligence was extremely precise.

On the other hand, Gu Jinlai often needed to find just one believer to uncover the Demigod behind them.

During the three years, most of Gu Jinlai's time was actually spent on the journey.

Unfortunately, every Demigod had a rather cunning Divine Spirit behind them.

Despite Gu Jinlai's attempts to disguise, once detected by those Demigods, or even Divine Lords, as he intended to incite the trend of a "Divine Spirit War," most Divine Lords chose to abandon their Subordinate God.

The principle…

Is quite simple.

Gu Jinlai's actions were equivalent to actively attacking.

And how many weaklings dare to actively attack?

Every Divine Spirit alive today survives by being extremely cautious, fleeing at the slightest disturbance.

Under such circumstances, he could only bully some Demigods, earning some Qingguang, and maintain a subsistence appearance.
