Return

Yi Feng sat frozen in bewilderment, finding it hard to believe this claim for a moment. Yun Star was the strongest place, yet he had always been told it was merely a mortal star. It felt like a massive joke.

The more he thought about it, the harder it was to accept.

He raised his eyes and asked, his tone full of doubt.

"Impossible."

"How could Yun Star be a realm star? Are you lying to me?"

Whoosh!

With just a lift of his eyes and a single sentence, a supreme aura surged forward. Even though Gu Daofang was a sub-star master, he was shocked into a stiff posture!

He hurriedly bowed and replied, several times more respectful and obedient than before.

"Senior, please see clearly!"

"Yun Star is indeed a realm star, this is absolutely true. How would this junior dare to speak nonsense..."

Seeing that the bearded old brother was almost in tears from anxiety, Yi Feng still did not easily believe him. He continued to stare intently, his tone incredibly low.

"If Yun Star is a realm star, why does it look the way it does now? A realm star is the strongest place. It could never be so barren, much less be completely unknown."

"Tell me the truth, what exactly is going on!"

Impossible to be so barren?

These words shocked Gu Daofang, making his heart sink. He could already tell that Senior Yi had been to Yun Star. But the aura pressing down on him right now was even stronger. He could barely stand steady, leaving him no time to think too much!

Bowing even lower, Gu Daofang hurriedly recounted everything he knew.

"Senior, please understand..."

"In ancient times, Yun Star was a sacred land, naturally making it the strongest place in our star domain. All the mighty figures are well aware of this. This junior absolutely dares not deceive you in the slightest. As for the title of realm star, it indeed hasn't been around for very long, but it is also a fact."

"A hundred thousand years ago, a great war occurred in the starry sky near Yun Star. A terrifying barrier emerged as a result, isolating the inside from the outside. Even the ancient starry sky road was destroyed by a supreme power. No one knows the reason. Even the mighty figures from various stars who had the fortune to participate in the war have always kept their mouths shut about it. It was exactly a hundred thousand years ago that Yun Star was designated as the new realm star."

"As for why Yun Star became barren, this junior truly does not know the reason. Logically speaking, Yun Star was already exceptionally formidable. After being recognized as a realm star, it should have been blessed by the power of the Heavenly Dao, yet it seems to have lost its former glory. This matter is truly bizarre..."

"This is everything this junior knows. I hope Senior will see clearly!"

As he finished speaking, Gu Daofang clasped his hands together, almost touching the ground.

Seeing his sincere and urgent posture, and considering his words had some basis in reality, Yi Feng could no longer continue to suspect him. A long time ago, he had heard of the so-called starry sky war, and the Ancient Return Corridor had indeed been destroyed.

Different people saying the exact same things, all pointing to a confusing and mysterious past. A lie could not be this unified and perfect.

It seemed that everything was just as Gu Daofang said. Yun Star really was a realm star...

At this moment.

Yi Feng could only half-believe it.

Even if it was hard to accept, he really had no evidence to refute it.

Seeing that Gu Daofang was about to kneel on the ground, if he continued to question him, this bearded old brother would probably cry from anxiety.

Yi Feng helplessly let out a soft sigh and spoke out to comfort him.

"I didn't expect Yun Star to actually be a realm star."

"I will believe your words for now. Stand up, sit down, and speak. If I go to Yun Star in the future, how should I find the star master? For the matters of your Yuan Star, you should be reporting to that star master, right?"

With Yi Feng speaking, Gu Daofang finally dared to softly sigh in relief and stand up. However, halfway through hearing those words, his body suddenly stiffened, and an even more awkward expression appeared on his face.

"Senior, please forgive me..."

"This matter indeed should be reported to the Master of Yun Star, who is the realm star master of our galaxy. But this junior's cultivation is low, and I had no chance to participate in the great war back then. I have never been to Yun Star, so I truly do not know who that great lord is."

Halfway through his explanation.

Gu Daofang's old face flushed red, and he hurriedly offered some flattery to ease his shame.

"It is truly this junior's incompetence. I hope Senior can forgive me."

"However, Senior's cultivation is unfathomable. This junior firmly believes that if you reach Yun Star, you will definitely be able to find the Lord Star Master!"

"This matter concerns the survival of all living beings. This junior can hardly stay much longer, so I can only brazenly beg and hope that Senior will lend a helping hand!"

His round of flattery was very earnest, and his movements and expressions were also extremely cautious.

Yi Feng, however, listened with a face full of helplessness.

The events of today were getting more and more outrageous. Having his understanding overturned was one thing, but after accepting this errand, he finally realized that the other party couldn't even tell him who to look for.

With this kind of half-baked situation, he still dared to ask someone for help?

What a talent.

Unfortunately, he had already agreed to it earlier, and Yun Star also seemed to hold quite a few secrets. By reason and logic, he had to make this trip no matter what.

Looking at the apprehensive and ashamed bearded old brother, Yi Feng shook his head in disappointment. He then stood up, spoke, and waved his sleeve to sweep open the void.

"Alright."

"Since I promised you, I will definitely go and deliver the message. Do not disturb the people of Qinghe Town anymore. If there's nothing else, say goodbye to everyone for me, and then return to your Yuan Star."

As his soft voice faded, Gu Daofang hurriedly bowed in gratitude.

By the time he stood up and wanted to voice his thanks, there was no one in front of him. Only the clear tea on the table emanated a fragrance that refreshed the heart and mind. The ordinary small courtyard also exuded an unfathomable aura.

Even the residual aura was this terrifying. Senior's cultivation is truly horrifying!

This is what they call a true expert hiding their presence.

"Thank you, Senior Yi, for your help. This junior will definitely engrave this kindness in my heart!"

Gu Daofang respectfully bowed once more and hurriedly followed the order to leave. Not long after, the people of Qinghe Town received fortuitous encounters and magical treasures. They looked up at the sky full of stars reaching into the clouds, and heated discussions rose one after another.

Far away in the endless sea of stars.

Yi Feng rode Man Man, accelerating and speeding along. Just as they were about to leave Hai Star far behind, numerous streams of black energy suddenly appeared all around them, chasing after them as if premeditated.

At first, Yi Feng didn't pay much attention and casually ordered Man Man to speed up. Who knew that an endless stream of black shadows would emerge, continuously closing in on him.

That posture was as annoying as a swarm of flies!

Yi Feng was already troubled by the matters of Yun Star and felt a bit chaotic inside. Encountering this kind of thing now, his long-stable state of mind could no longer remain calm, stirred into a fit of annoyance and distraction.

Finally, for the first time in a long while, he grew angry.

"Clang!"

With a hum, the great treasure sword flew out in response!

Several sword lights sped away like meteors, and the black shadows in the starry sea disintegrated like smoke!

The moment he struck, it was an instant kill. There was no surprise at all.

Even so, Yi Feng found it hard to calm the vexation in his heart. Riding Man Man, he carried his sword and gave chase until he slaughtered all the nearby black shadows. Only then did he take a deep breath and put away the great treasure sword.

"Phew..."

"It seems these should be the black shadows Gu Daofang mentioned. They really seem to have some background. We just came out, and they are already following us like lingering ghosts."

Man Man blew bubbles and obediently shook its antennae.

"Bloop bloop..."

Seeing that there were no more tails harassing them, Yi Feng pointed far ahead and issued an order.

"Destination: Yun Star. Full speed ahead!"

As soon as the words fell, with a swoosh, a streak of light shot across the galaxy. When it stopped again, it was already at the peak of a green mountain!

Looking at the somewhat familiar, ordinary scenery, and feeling the thin spiritual energy in the air that was almost identical to Qinghe Town from before, a long-lost sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.

Yi Feng gazed out at the endless mountain forest, still finding it somewhat hard to believe that this was the Realm Star. He felt a subtle sense of unfamiliarity, an indescribable melancholy revealing itself in his eyes.

"I have finally returned..."

"But where are we supposed to find the Lord of the Cloud Star?"
