Chapter 1104 - 739: Defending the Way with Starlight

Chapter 1104: Chapter 739: Defending the Way with Starlight

Alone by the window, gazing at the bustling market below, wandering in thought, uncertain of what he was contemplating.

Nie Bufan conversed briefly with several familiar cultivators.

The prospects of Starlight Island were alluring.

They all desired to change their way of life.

Relying solely on oneself, paths were difficult to find.

The Left Family’s willingness to make introductions was indeed a shortcut.

As for the Left Family profiting from this, it was quite reasonable.

Before long, the group reached a decision.

Some chose marriage alliances, while others opted for long-term cooperation.

Collateral loans, however, attracted no interest.

Over the years, one wonders how many Spirit Stones the Left Family has earned from them.

The so-called modest effort was merely a means to seek personal gain.

Firstly, sending away local Foundation Establishments to eliminate potential threats.

Secondly, they were sure to benefit from Starlight Island.

With the discussion settled, Nie Bufan surveyed the other four: "Fellow Daoists, would you be willing to join us in traveling to Starlight Island to seek prospects?"

Leng Zhiyuan looked down and remained silent, his eyes subtly shifting.

An old servant in green rose, cupped his hands respectfully, and wore a politely smiling face: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Nie, for your kindness. My young master has other private affairs to attend to and cannot accompany you. I wish all fellow Daoists success and prosperity."

Nie Bufan nodded, not pressing the matter, then turned his gaze to the round-faced female cultivator: "Fellow Daoist Mo, what do you think?"

"Ah?"

The round-faced female cultivator woke from her reverie, looking perplexed: "I can go too?"

"Of course."

Nie Bufan glanced at her.

Average appearance, Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, quite young in age.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, at such a young age, you have attained this level of cultivation and possess a calm demeanor. On Starlight Island, many noble young men will be enamored with you, sending matchmakers to your door!"

The round-faced female cultivator appeared somewhat moved by these words and discreetly glanced at Leng Zhiyuan before ultimately shaking her head.

"I don’t deserve such praise from Fellow Daoist Nie. I still have unfinished trifles and it’s not appropriate to leave now."

Nie Bufan turned in another direction and asked bluntly: "Fellow Daoist Shen, would you like to join us?"

The middle-aged man in the blue robe was none other than Shen Xuan, who altered his appearance and concealed his aura.

Upon entering Song Country, he didn’t hurry.

He deliberately slowed his pace, posing as an ordinary Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator, progressing slowly.

Observing the customs and culture of Song Country, he listened to the movements of major forces and experienced the mindset of a loose cultivator.

"Hmm. Shen also has urgent matters and cannot spare the time. Fellow Daoist Nie’s good intentions are appreciated."

Of the ten or so individuals in the room, besides Leng Zhiyuan’s servant, the round-faced female cultivator, and Shen Xuan, the other six reached an agreement with the Left Family.

Left Chong Jin was overjoyed and took out six Spirit Contracts, distributing them.

"Dear fellow Daoists, though you may achieve fame and success on Starlight Island, don’t forget the ties to your homeland. My Left Family will always be your support..."

"Hold on!"

Before the words were finished, the round-faced female cultivator suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, all of you should look carefully! Is the contract in your hands a Spirit Contract or a Demon Contract!"

"Once you sign and inject your magical power, you will be enslaved for life!"

Nie Bufan’s expression changed dramatically.

The entire room was shocked.

Everyone hurriedly inspected the details.

The contract’s patterns were obscure, its Spiritual Qi murky, and it emitted a faint stench of blood.

Left Chong Jin wore a sinister expression, speaking gloomily: "What a vile woman, daring to spoil my plans! Who are you!"

The round-faced female cultivator stepped forward, scanning the crowd, and her voice rang out clear and loud: "Tempering swords in star rivers to slay demons, illuminating the Profound Origin with eternal peace. Defending the world with a heart of righteousness, the Dao Heart remains to protect all lives."

After chanting, she cupped her hands in salute: "Disciple of Starbrilliance Academy, Mo Kexin, greetings to fellow Daoists."

Nie Bufan and the other loose cultivators were simultaneously surprised and delighted, hurriedly standing to return the greeting: "It’s indeed fortunate to witness a descendant of Starbrilliance Academy today!"

Though in Left Family organized market of Yao Guang.

Yet these six Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators.

Together with Starbrilliance Academy’s Mo Kexin.

The seven united, would naturally fear no retaliation from the Left Family.

However, just at that slightly relaxed moment.

"Huh, huh..."

A low, eerie growl emanated from Left Chong Jin’s throat.

His body suddenly swelled, his robe ripping, transforming instantly into a towering, muscular, and ferocious giant.

Dark red blood lines surfaced on his skin, a thick stench of blood expanding, mingled with cold, brutal Demonic Qi.

"Not good! This person has cultivated Demon Sect’s evil technique!"

Mo Kexin’s delicate face changed slightly, shouting anxiously: "Everyone, retreat quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, her slender hand raised.

"Zzzzz!"

More than ten points of bluish lightning shot out swiftly, striking Left Chong Jin’s body.

They were all powerful Thunder Spirit Pearls.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Explosions rang out consecutively, electric serpents danced wildly.

Left Chong Jin’s body was blasted with flying flesh, blackened all over, staggering several steps back.

Strangely, he remained standing.

No fresh blood erupted from the wounds; instead, thick Demonic Qi as black as ink surged, growing more violent post-injury.

Mo Kexin’s heart sank; she clasped a spell.

In an instant, more than ten luminous talismans shot forth, transforming into dazzling lightning talisman arrows, carrying thunderous might, striking again at the demonized Left Chong Jin.

"Boom!"

The fierce explosion lifted the roof of the entire room.

Fragments of jade and stone scattered.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Left Chong Jin’s demon body, though severely damaged and charred, continued standing firmly, emitting strange laughter from his throat.

"Girl, is that all you’ve got? Today, none of you will escape!"

Demonic mist surged, Left Chong Jin’s form changed once more.

To the crowd’s shocked gaze, two terrifying heads sprouted from his neck, six robust, scale-covered arms extended from his ribs, transforming into a terrifying demon with a blue face, and fangs, embodying Three-Headed, Eight-Armed Demon Body.

"Three-Headed, Eight-Armed Demon Body?"

Mo Kexin’s expression grew solemn.

She was from Starbrilliance Academy and knew well such a demon body was extremely difficult to deal with.
