"It is rumored that he once fought undefeated against a strong opponent in the Late Stage Earth Soul Realm," Yuer said after pondering for a moment.
"Late Stage Earth Soul Realm? That's still within a controllable range. Go call someone to investigate his whereabouts," Xing Chen nodded. As long as the opponent's strength had not reached the level of Soul Realm, he could handle it. Once their strength was comparable to Soul Realm, it would be beyond his capability.
"Yes, Young Master Chen, I will find someone to check right away." After Yuer finished speaking, she slowly withdrew.
After Yuer left, Xing Chen slowly raised his palm, his gaze flickering slightly.
"The Ninefold Thunder Palm has already reached the peak of Double Thunder; it only lacks one last step to reach Triple Thunder Strike, but now it is missing an opportunity." Lightning swirled around his palm as Xing Chen murmured to himself.
"Killer Lone Star, Disaster Star Descends, Lone Star Sun Sword Technique—these three sword techniques: Killer Lone Star condenses into a line, Disaster Star Descends condenses into a point, breaking through with a point; the final move is an explosive release of all power. This sudden burst of strength can rival an ordinary Earth-Level Primary Martial Technique." Xing Chen continuously deduced the mysteries of these three techniques from the Lonely Star Sun Blade in his mind. If he could merge these three moves into one, its power would definitely elevate to another level, certainly not inferior to any Earth-Level Primary Martial Technique.
"Yuer, I need to enter seclusion. During this time, no one and nothing can disturb me. Anyone who dares to approach here will be killed without mercy." After a while, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Xing Chen's mind. He quickly stood up and instructed Yuer outside.
"Young Master Chen, rest assured. Yuer will not let anyone disturb you," Yuer replied with a bright sparkle in her eyes and a cheerful smile.
"Mm." Xing Chen nodded and fell back into deep thought. The three moves of the Lonely Star Sunlight Sword Technique were line condensation, point gathering, and then explosion; no matter how he looked at it, these three seemed like one sword technique.
First, Vital Energy condenses at the sword edge to form a sword aura; this is the initial move. Then all the sword aura converges at the sword tip into a point. Finally, it explodes instantly. The power unleashed from this twice-compressed Vital Energy is absolutely formidable and cannot be underestimated; it is definitely much stronger than his Seven Killing Blood Seal's first seal.
With a clear direction in mind, Xing Chen began to contemplate how to integrate these three sword techniques into one powerful move.
Time passed quickly, and three days went by. During this time, Starry Branch launched a massive attack on the Zhang Family while secretly investigating the Ye Family. With actions on two fronts, even with Starry Branch's strength, they were somewhat overwhelmed. Starting from the fourth day, members of Starry Branch began to suffer losses consecutively; first, they were ambushed by experts from the Zhang Family organization. Not only did they fail to reclaim the Elemental Stone Vein but also lost hundreds of disciples.
The disciples sent to investigate near the Ye Family were secretly killed by the Ye Family. What angered the two Vice Leaders of the branch even more was that the Zhang Family and the Ye Family seemed to be forming an alliance.
"Damn it, hundreds of my Starry Branch disciples have just disappeared like that, including several elite disciples from the Soul Refinement Realm!" Ling shouted furiously, smashing a table in the branch.
"I told you long ago that you were too reckless. Attacking directly like that would definitely lead to losses," Chen Li said calmly from the side. He had previously tried to stop Ling when he forcefully attacked the Elemental Stone Vein, but Ling had stubbornly ignored his advice, resulting in the current situation.
"Hmph, how much stronger are you than me? You may be clever, but didn’t the people you planted in the Ye Family get discovered?" Ling scoffed coldly, then ominously added, "A Peak of Human Soul Realm expert was killed just like that by someone from the Ye Family."
"I indeed underestimated them this time. However, we should think about how to salvage the situation now!" Chen Li shook his head. He knew Ling was angry, so he didn’t argue further.
"What about the Helmsman? Doesn’t he plan to come out for such a big matter?" Ling asked with a dark expression.
"The Helmsman is currently in seclusion and has ordered that no one is to disturb him; otherwise, they will be killed without mercy. So this matter can only be discussed between us two," Chen Li sighed pretentiously.
"Nonsense! What time is it now? He still has the mind to be in seclusion? I’m going to find him right now; I want to see if he really intends to kill me without mercy," Ling said angrily as he left the main hall and headed straight for Xing Chen's residence.
"I want to see the Helmsman," Ling said angrily upon arriving at Xing Chen's residence, looking at Yuer outside the door.
"The Helmsman is in seclusion; no one and nothing is to disturb him during this time, or they will be killed without mercy," Yuer replied calmly, repeating Xing Chen's earlier words.
"Just you? I want to see what capabilities you have!" Ling Yinsen sneered and then reached out. As he did so, it seemed as if countless hands appeared in mid-air, making it impossible for anyone to evade. At the same time, a dense aura of malice enveloped Yuer.
"Considering your position as Vice Leader, I can overlook that last attack. If you dare act recklessly again, I will have to carry out the Helmsman's orders," a slightly indifferent voice suddenly came from behind him just as a cruel smile appeared on Ling's face; the bright and beautiful girl had vanished without a trace.
"Miss Yuer, please do not take offense. Ling the Helmsman was just a bit impulsive and did not mean any disrespect towards Helmsman. Since Helmsman is in seclusion, we will take our leave." At this moment, Chen Li, who had just arrived, quickly smiled and spoke. He had clearly seen their earlier confrontation, and if it had escalated, Ling could have indeed been killed by this seemingly delicate girl.
"Hmph!" Ling snorted coldly but did not linger on the matter. From their earlier exchange, he realized that his strength was indeed inferior to that of the girl before him. Continuing to fight would only lead to his demise, so he decided to follow Chen Li's lead.
"Report to Helmsman, it's bad! The Zhang Family and the Ye Family have joined forces and are attacking us. Our disciples below are barely holding on." At this moment, someone came to report from outside.
"Damn it! It's truly disgraceful to be bullied when we're down. If we hadn't been away for so long, how could these two families have taken advantage of us?" Ling punched a nearby large tree in frustration.
"Stop with the useless talk. We should negotiate with those two families and see what can be done," Chen Li sighed and said slowly.
"Hmph! Let that brat come out! How dare he attack my Zhang Family's Elemental Stone Vein! If he doesn't give me an explanation today, my Zhang Family will never agree." Outside the branch, an old man with white hair and a weathered face looked angrily at everyone present. This man was the current strongest member of the Zhang Family, with a cultivation level reaching the Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle.
"You old fool! That Elemental Stone Vein clearly belongs to my Azure Cloud Gang! You dare to steal from us and still have the audacity to accuse us? Do you really think my Azure Cloud Gang is easy to bully?" After stepping out, Ling immediately mentioned the Azure Cloud Gang, completely ignoring any reference to the Starry Branch. It was clear he was threatening the old man, reminding him that this was the property of the Azure Cloud Gang. To provoke them was akin to pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth; it was reckless.
Sure enough, upon hearing "Azure Cloud Gang", the old man's expression changed drastically. After all, the Azure Cloud Gang was the largest gang in the Sun Kingdom, and even the royal family had to show them some respect, let alone someone from the Zhang Family.
"Hmph! What of the Azure Cloud Gang? Do you think they can act without consequences? You must understand that above your Azure Cloud Gang, there is still the Sun Kingdom. Even your leader, Yun Qing, must abide by royal rules." At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward and spoke.
This man was none other than the head of the Ye Family, Ye Wusheng, whose cultivation had already reached half-step Soul Realm, making him slightly stronger than the elder from the Zhang Family.
"Ye, you'd best stay out of this matter; otherwise, trouble will come knocking at your door and affect your family," warned Ling Yinsen, his eyes revealing no concealment of murderous intent.
"Hehe, you needn't worry about my family, Ling Vice Leader. However, you must give an explanation to the Zhang Family regarding this incident; otherwise, even I, as an outsider, am starting to find it intolerable," said Ye Wusheng, smiling casually as if he had already anticipated what would happen with Ling.
"Do you really think I, Starry Branch, am an easy target?" At that moment, Chen Li slowly walked out and said, "Since you two are already here, there's no need to leave. Staying with me at Starry Branch isn't a bad idea."
As Chen Li's words fell, more than twenty disciples from the branch suddenly appeared, surrounding Ye Wusheng and his companion. All of these twenty-plus individuals were at the Soul Refinement Realm, with several having reached the Earth Soul Realm. With so many people, along with Ling Chenli and his companion, capturing Ye Wusheng and the elder from the Zhang Family should not be a problem.
"Heh heh, with just this many of you, do you really think you can keep me and Elder Zhang here? Do you think we came to your Starry Branch without any preparation?" Ye Wusheng maintained his smile. As his words fell, many others at the Soul Refinement Realm appeared in the distance. These individuals were not weaker in strength or number compared to those from Starry Branch.
"You are playing with fire!" Upon seeing these people, Chen Li's expression finally darkened. In this situation, if a fight broke out, the branch would definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Stop hesitating! Everyone, attack!" Just as Chen Li was indecisive and Ye Wusheng remained calm, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this voice, Ling's body shook violently. He had already felt frustrated by Ye Wusheng's intrusion but had to hold back; otherwise, it would surely lead to severe losses for the branch. However, after hearing Xing Chen's words, he became excited. He no longer had to endure; he had been on the verge of losing control, and Xing Chen's words acted like a fuse that ignited his pent-up anger.
"Wait..." Just as Ling was about to take action, Chen Li suddenly stopped him and turned to Xing Chen, saying, "Helmsman, attacking now would cause serious losses for our branch."
Chen Li's words made Xing Chen raise an eyebrow slightly. Ye Wusheng and his companion also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was good to have someone sensible here. Despite bringing many people, they did not dare to use all of them against Starry Branch; if they exhausted their forces, their families would be finished as well.
"Did you not hear what I said? Attack! I will bear all consequences." Xing Chen's cold gaze swept over everyone present.
