Chapter 449 Star Palace, I'm finally back!
Boom boom!
To their horror, however, no matter how they attacked, the array's light barrier only rippled violently, showing no sign of breaking.
"How can this formation be so powerful?"
The two men's expressions changed drastically. They were both true powerhouses, one at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and the other at the middle stage.
Unexpectedly, Shen Rugo's figure suddenly appeared in the sea of fire, like a god who controls the flames, mocking them as they struggled.
"who are you?"
The two of them couldn't help but scream loudly.
Shen Rugo gave a cold laugh and remained silent.
However, two streams of flame shot out, directly attacking the two attackers' lower body and weak points in their defenses.
The two immediately used their spiritual energy to protect themselves, but in the blink of an eye, they screamed as the flames shattered their protective aura and burned their bodies.
"What kind of monster is this?"
The two were even more shocked when they saw a series of ugly, bald chickens.
However, the human and the demon ignored them completely and continued to attack. The two Nascent Soul cultivators were soon covered in wounds and filled with fear.
Seeing another burst of flames rushing towards him, the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator finally couldn't withstand it any longer and cried out in terror, begging for mercy.
"Senior, spare us! Senior, spare us! We are stewards of the Wanbaoge headquarters, sent here on orders, and we mean no harm!"
"No ill intent? Sneaking into my room late at night, are you trying to invite me for tea?"
Shen Rugo sneered. Just as she thought, it was someone from Wanbaoge. She immediately manipulated the formation, condensing two huge fiery palms that gripped the two tightly. The terrifying power of the flames scorched their flesh and souls.
"Ah! Spare us! We'll confess! It was the headquarters that ordered us to... to invite you back to discuss the cooperation on the communication talisman..."
The other person screamed.
"Please? Please in this way?"
Shen Rugo's eyes grew even colder.
With a thought, the power of the fiery palm suddenly intensified, and at the same time, Zhao Cai also increased its firepower.
The two immediately let out pig-like screams, feeling as if their souls were being burned away. They no longer cared about face or loyalty, and cried out, revealing the headquarters' orders in their entirety.
"They actually intend to capture me, use soul-controlling techniques to make me their servant, and monopolize the communication talisman?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Rugo's eyes flashed with a cold light. Just as she was about to kill the two men, she suddenly smiled coldly. Since Wanbaoge wanted to oppose her, she would play along.
These two are genuine Nascent Soul cultivators, absolute powerhouses. Even within the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, they hold high positions and great power. Why not take them as servants and use them for your own purposes?
The position of the deacon in the Wanbaoge headquarters is not low, and he has a better understanding of business operations and various forces, which is of great benefit to her in establishing the "Star Pavilion".
So she followed the same method, forcing the two Nascent Soul stage stewards, Sun and Zhao, to swear an oath to Heaven, offering their life souls and acknowledging her as their master.
Under the threat of death and cruel torture, Sun and Zhao chose to submit more decisively than the previous two Golden Core cultivators.
When they learned Shen Rugo's true identity, they were equally shocked, but more than that, they resigned themselves to their fate.
Shen Rugo entrusted them with the task of establishing "Star Pavilion" and expanding business in the Western Regions, and instructed them to secretly contact and cooperate with Li and Wang from before.
She also gave the two a large number of communication talismans, ordering them to secretly develop the "Star Pavilion".
With these four people under her control, Shen Rugo's "business empire" has taken its first step.
In high spirits, she piloted the Flowing Light Shuttle at full speed, speeding towards the Star Palace.
They were less than 50,000 li away from the sect.
……
Two more months passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Rugo still hadn't returned to the Star Palace.
Qinghe Daoren went out to search twice during this period, but failed to find out any news.
The atmosphere within the sect grew increasingly tense.
The five brothers, Xiao Changkong, Shen Xinghe, Lu Haoran, Chen Tianba, and Xiao Qiushui, were restless and uneasy.
The monsters like the Sky-Splitting Crocodile and the Mystic Rock Turtle were extremely agitated. In their hearts, Shen Rugo was the rightful master, the one they wanted to follow.
The threat from Qingyuan Sect and Lingxiao Pavilion has not been eliminated. The great changes that occurred in the secret realm will be discovered by the two sects sooner or later, and they will inevitably take action against Xingchen Palace.
As a result, the entire Star Palace remained on high alert. The Star Daoist forcibly suppressed everyone's impulses and ordered the mountain gates to be closed, forbidding anyone from leaving the mountain. The atmosphere was oppressive for a time.
On this day, Chen Tianba and Xiao Qiushui, who had the most fiery tempers, finally exploded completely.
The two found Master Xingchen in the main hall of the main peak and loudly questioned him:
"Master! It's been so long! There's still no news of Junior Sister! Aren't you going to do anything about it?!"
Chen Tianba roared, his eyes red.
"That's right! Even though Grandmaster Qinghe couldn't find him after going out to look, something must have happened! We can't just sit here and wait!"
Xiao Qiushui clenched her fists, her fighting spirit surging.
"Roar! We're going to find our master!"
The Sky-Splitting Crocodile, along with a group of demonic beasts, roared outside the palace, its demonic aura soaring into the sky, causing panic among the people of the Star Palace.
Master Xingchen was at his wits' end. "Calm down, everyone! Ruge is a very clever child, and she has great fortune on her side. She will definitely be fine!"
If we rush out rashly and are discovered by the Qingyuan Sect, we'll only cause her trouble!
"Making trouble? I think you're just afraid of trouble!"
Chen Tianba shouted incoherently.
"Bastard!"
Master Xingchen was furious, and it seemed that the master and disciple were about to "spar" as usual.
Just then, the disciple on guard suddenly tumbled into the main hall, shouting in a panic, "Report! Sect Leader, something terrible has happened! Someone is flying here on a sword! They're so fast! Like a shooting star!"
Everyone was shocked to hear this. Flying on a sword was as fast as a shooting star, which was at least the speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
The Star Palace has been closed for many days, so why would a Nascent Soul cultivator come to visit?
The Star Daoist's expression turned solemn, and he immediately led everyone out of the main hall.
Even Daoist Qinghe sensed the rapidly approaching aura and came out from his meditation spot.
Everyone stared nervously at the sky outside the mountain gate, fearing that the people coming were powerful figures from Lingxiao Pavilion and Qingyuan Sect.
A dazzling stream of light shot towards them, its speed far exceeding that of a Golden Core cultivator, and even faster than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
"Who is this person?"
Everyone was filled with doubt and wariness.
The mountain-protecting formation is fully activated, with light curtains flowing.
The streak of light abruptly stopped outside the mountain gate, revealing the figure of a young girl riding an exquisite flying shuttle and wearing a light blue dress.
The girl looked young, with an ordinary face and a slightly yellowish complexion, but her eyes were bright as stars and exceptionally lively.
Looking at the familiar gates of the Star Palace before her, a genuine smile of joy appeared on her face, and she let out a long breath: "Haha, I, Shen Rugo, am finally back!"
"Who...who is she?"
The people in the Star Palace looked at each other in bewilderment.
This person looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old, clearly still a child, yet he could fly on a sword at a speed comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Suddenly, Xiao Qiushui jumped up, "Junior Sister! It must be Junior Sister! She's the best at disguise!"
As he spoke, he rushed out without thinking, but with a dull thud, his forehead slammed into the transparent protective array's light barrier. He was thrown back hard, a large bump forming on his head, making him grimace in pain.
Everyone was taken aback at first, but then, seeing his comical appearance, they burst into laughter.
"Is she really my junior sister?"
Xiao Changkong and the others looked at the girl outside the mountain gate in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
Junior Sister just established her Foundation Establishment, right? It's only been two or three months since I last saw her. How come she has such an aura and can even fly on a sword?
Xiao Qiushui rubbed the large bump on her forehead and shouted at Daoist Xingchen, "It's the real deal! Master, please open the formation and let Junior Sister in!"
Just then, Shen Rugo, who was outside the mountain gate, also saw the group inside, especially Xiao Qiushui, who had a large bump on her forehead and was jumping up and down anxiously, as well as Chen Tianba and the others who were equally excited. Her smile became even brighter, and she immediately waved her little hand and called out in a clear and familiar voice, "Uncle Qinghe, Master, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother! Fifth Brother! I'm back!"
It really is Shen Rugo!
Without further hesitation, Daoist Xingchen immediately formed a hand seal, opening a crack in the mountain-protecting formation.
As soon as the gap opened, Xiao Qiushui and Chen Tianba rushed out like wild horses!
"Little junior sister!"
"Little junior sister!"
At the same time, the Sky-Splitting Crocodile, the Mystic Rock Turtle, and other demonic beasts also sensed Shen Rugo's familiar aura and immediately let out a deafening cheer and roar.
Ignoring any formation, relying on their thick hides, they squeezed through the gaps with Xiao Qiushui and Shen Rugo. Their massive bodies almost deformed the formation's light barrier as they surged menacingly towards Shen Rugo!
Just as Shen Rugo had sheathed her flying sword, preparing for a touching reunion with her senior brothers, she looked up and saw her two senior brothers charging towards her like hungry tigers, followed by a large group of terrifying monsters with green eyes and bared fangs and claws. They looked as if they wanted to devour her alive!
Shen Rugo's smile froze instantly, and she was completely dumbfounded: "What... what's going on?!"
