Chapter 2792: Sinister Intentions

Chapter 2792: Chapter 2792: Sinister Intentions

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor saw Ziyun Starlord was about to inquire Zishi and realized trouble was imminent.

Without hesitation, he suddenly launched a giant palm towards Fang Bai, wanting to capture him and quickly leave the scene.

"Old bandit, you’ll never succeed!"

Fang Bai had been on guard against the Scorpion Clan Ancestor, and seeing him attack, shouted loudly, slashing with both divine artifacts in his hands.

Ziyun Starlord intended to stop the Scorpion Clan Ancestor, but upon seeing Fang Bai strike back, his eyes flickered, raising his brows and revealing a look of surprise.

He did not expect that a minor deity with only mid-level True God realm cultivation would display such formidable combat power, thinking that perhaps the Scorpion Clan Ancestor’s attack might not succeed.

Indeed, although Fang Bai was once again knocked several thousand zhang away, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, the light from the ax and blade of his two divine artifacts successfully thwarted the giant palm coming from the Scorpion Clan Ancestor.

It can be said that Fang Bai’s fight against the Scorpion Clan Ancestor, though ending in defeat, was still honorable, winning the admiration of the many experts present.

After all, looking at the entire Divine Realm, who else could survive multiple attacks from a Divine Venerable realm expert with just mid-level True God realm cultivation?

"Scorpion Clan Ancestor, stand down!"

Ziyun Starlord saw the Scorpion Clan Ancestor’s unwillingness and intention to continue attacking Fang Bai, and finally stepped in, standing in front of Fang Bai with his sleeves swinging, adopting a battle-ready stance.

"Ziyun Starlord, for the sake of a mere minor deity, you would oppose my entire Scorpion Clan?"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor stared at Ziyun Starlord with cold, sinister eyes and asked coldly.

This question was full of threat, but Ziyun Starlord was unmoved.

"Entering the territory of Purple Cloud Star means being our guest, how can I let a guest suffer humiliation? Heh, opposing the entire Scorpion Clan... Scorpion Clan Ancestor, you speak too heavily!"

Ziyun Starlord spoke dismissively, indicating by his expression that he did not regard the Scorpion Clan seriously.

"Fine! Fine! Fine!"

The Scorpion Clan Ancestor knew that with Ziyun Starlord’s protection, it would be difficult to capture Fang Bai. He stomped his foot in frustration and said with hatred: "This place is under your Purple Cloud Star’s control, but once that minor deity leaves, you can’t do anything about it, right?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Bai and shouted fiercely: "I don’t believe you can stay on Purple Cloud Star forever! I’ll just wait near Purple Cloud Star for you to leave! Let’s wait and see!"

Saying this, he jumped onto a starship and left the area with the Scorpion Team.

Fang Bai’s Divine Sense diffused, finding that they hadn’t gone far, just anchored in the starry sky a few thousand miles away, seemingly prepared to wait there for a long time.

However, Fang Bai was full of disdain for this, thinking he might as well stay longer on Purple Cloud Star, and wait for his realm and cultivation level to advance further to high-level True God realm before leaving. By that time, the Scorpion Clan Ancestor would be unable to stop him from leaving Purple Cloud Star.

"Thank you, Ziyun Starlord, for your aid!"

Fang Bai, despite having a not-so-positive first impression of Ziyun Starlord, thanked him nonetheless, regardless of what motive he might have had for assisting, and simultaneously stored his divine artifacts back into his Sea of Consciousness.

Ziyun Starlord surveyed Fang Bai for a moment, recalling Fang Bai’s previous confrontation with the Scorpion Clan Ancestor, knowing his physique was extraordinary, he smiled warmly and said: "No worries! No worries! That Scorpion Clan Ancestor has always been arrogant, I’ve long disliked him!"

Fang Bai felt somewhat uncomfortable under Ziyun Starlord’s gaze, his brow slightly furrowing before offering a faint smile.

"How did you and the Scorpion Clan Ancestor become mortal enemies?"

Ziyun Starlord asked again.

Fang Bai sneered and countered: "Does Ziyun Starlord believe his words?"

Ziyun Starlord shook his head and said: "Of course not! The realms and cultivation levels between you two are on completely different levels, how could you be mortal enemies? That Scorpion Clan Ancestor must have some other ulterior motive!"

Fang Bai said: "It’s simply because I possess an Extraordinary Holy Body!"

As he spoke, he kept his gaze fixed on Ziyun Starlord, watching his reaction.

Ziyun Starlord’s eyes glimmered slightly, showing some excitement, though he quickly returned to normal, saying: "An Extraordinary Holy Body! No wonder... no wonder... he probably covets your vital essence for cultivation! That old bandit is always ruthless and would indeed do such a thing! Hmm, you should stay on my Purple Cloud Star from now on! With me here, he can’t do anything to you!"

Fang Bai sharply caught the fleeting emotions of Ziyun Starlord, inwardly laughing coldly, thinking: "This Ziyun Starlord is no good either!"

"Brother Fang, you should stay near my Starlord Hall! It’s the safest place on Purple Cloud Star! No matter what transpires, I can take care of you!"

After inquiring Fang Bai’s name and origin, Ziyun Starlord cordially extended an invitation to him.

Ziyun Starlord, as a Divine Venerable realm expert and the master of a star, was surprisingly courteous in inviting Fang Bai, which caught the strong members of the Nebula Team like Zishi by surprise.

However, thinking it over, they thought having Ziyun Starlord’s favor was ultimately a good thing, so Zishi said to Fang Bai: "Brother Fang, what are you hesitant about? Come with us to Purple Cloud Star!"

After pausing, he also said: "That Scorpion Clan Ancestor seems determined to catch you, you might as well stay on Purple Cloud Star for a while, when he loses patience, he’ll leave, then you can go whenever you want, stay as you please, isn’t that better?"

Fang Bai glanced at his starship, recalling Jin Ding’s words that Purple Cloud Star belonged to the Outstanding Galaxy and thinking it an option to temporarily stay here and seek Orange Divine Crystals for cultivation.

With the Scorpion Clan Ancestor guarding outside and Ziyun Starlord harboring malicious intentions inside, Fang Bai felt a sense of urgency from internal and external pressures, compelling him to cultivate more diligently.

He decided that upon reaching Purple Cloud Star, he would find a way to obtain some Orange Divine Crystals for cultivation and minimize his meetings with Ziyun Starlord to prevent any sudden treachery.

Even though Fang Bai felt he could escape Ziyun Starlord’s attacks, his greatest concern was if Ziyun Starlord, in a fit of rage, allied with the Scorpion Clan Ancestor to attack him, creating an internal and external pincer, making him truly endangered.

And the only way out of this situation was to rapidly enhance his own strength.

With this decision, Fang Bai gladly accepted Ziyun Starlord’s invitation, stored away his starship, and went to reside at the Starlord Hall on Purple Cloud Star with the gods from the Emperor’s Palace.

Ziyu, saved by the gods of the Emperor’s Palace, expressed his gratitude again before reuniting with his father Zishi and the Nebula Team.

The Nebula Team, led by Zishi, also resided on Purple Cloud Star, not far from the Starlord Hall.

Upon arriving at Purple Cloud Star, Fang Bai discovered that a large team like Nebula within Purple Cloud Star was only considered a first-rate force, not a top tier. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have suffered losses against the Scorpion Team.
