Immortal Lord Hidden Star apologized, "Fellow Daoists, the Seven Stars Market will not join either the Immortal Realm or the Demon Realm, so please leave!"
Demonic Lord Feidu, on the contrary, laughed, "Kong Ming, look at this. He practices the Dao of Immortals, so it is normal for him to refuse me, but he does not acknowledge the Immortal Realm either. You should reflect on yourselves; have you gone too far over the years and incited public anger?"
Kong Ming snorted coldly, "Feidu, do you want to die?"
"Heh, just based on you?" Feidu smiled disdainfully.
The two were at daggers drawn.
Seeing this standoff, Immortal Lord Hidden Star said, "Fellow Daoists, this is the Seven Stars Market; fighting is not allowed!"
Upon hearing this, Demonic Lord Feidu laughed loudly, "You have backbone. I am starting to appreciate you a little!"
Immortal Lord Kong Ming said in a low voice, "Join forces with me and destroy this demon! If you can keep him here, the Immortal Realm will no longer hold the Seven Stars Market accountable, and will even allow the Seven Stars Market to continue operating. I hope you understand how to choose."
Hidden Star shook his head, "I will repeat myself: The Seven Stars Market does not participate in either the Immortal or Demon Realms. We belong to the Seven Star Realm and are a neutral force!"
Kong Ming frowned, "Nonsense! The Spirit Realm is a subsidiary world of the Immortal Realm and is also a part of the Immortal Realm. Acting like this, have you ever considered your own faults?"
Immortal Lord Hidden Star frowned; why did it feel like the visitor from the Immortal Realm was so aggressive?
Demonic Lord Feidu of the Demon Realm let out a strange cry, "Heh heh, Kong Ming, you just want to swallow the Seven Stars Market, right? Seeing that it is run so well, you intend to claim it for yourself. Your Feipeng Clan is still as overbearing and unreasonable as ever!"
Kong Ming snorted coldly, "Those who do not submit to the management of the Immortal Realm are rebels and are not protected by the Immortal Realm!"
Immortal Lord Hidden Star immediately realized that the two actually intended to join forces. Their positioning blocked his escape routes, and their Qi had locked onto him.
A strong sense of crisis surged into his heart.
"You..." Immortal Lord Hidden Star's expression became ugly.
But before he could say much more.
A pitch-black fire feather shot straight at Hidden Star's face, and at the same time, a tri-colored profound light brushed toward him from behind.
The two Golden Immortals were unexpectedly attacking directly, one from the front and one from behind!
Hidden Star's eyes turned cold.
The Formation covering the Seven Stars Market was immediately activated.
The place where the three were located instantly transformed into a starry heaven and earth.
Countless starlight fell, and before the two attacks could land, three layers of mirror surfaces condensed around Hidden Star.
The fire feather and the tri-colored profound light submerged into the mirror surfaces.
In an instant, they flew out from another mirror surface; Feidu's pitch-black fire feather flew toward Kong Ming, while Kong Ming's tri-colored profound light swept toward Feidu!
Kong Ming swept out a tri-colored profound light to collide with the pitch-black fire feather. The tri-colored profound light actually shattered rapidly under the fire feather's attack, and Kong Ming immediately swept out another tri-colored profound light to block it.
On the other side, Demonic Lord Feidu also had to release two pitch-black fire feathers to block the tri-colored profound light.
Both of them looked at Hidden Star with shock and suspicion.
They had not expected that Hidden Star could not only reflect attacks but also increase the power of the reflection. This method was extremely exquisite and highly skilled in defense.
"Are you not stopping? If you persist in attacking, I will report this to the Seven Stars Dao Lord and have you executed!" Hidden Star looked at the two with cold eyes.
Feidu asked in surprise, "You are not the master of the Seven Stars Market?"
Kong Ming was also somewhat confused; it seemed things were a bit off.
But he thought about it and decided that Hidden Star was bluffing, saying, "That was just a probe. You are only at the Early Stage of the Golden Immortal Realm; if I attack with full strength, you will not be able to block it! I advise you to join the Immortal Realm. With the help of my Feipeng Legion, your Seven Stars Market can reach an even higher level!"
Feidu laughed, "Don't listen to Kong Ming. In the Feipeng Legion, all the power is held by the Feipeng Clan. People from other races will only become cannon fodder on the battlefield. Even if they are Golden Immortals, they are just more Advanced cannon fodder. If you join the Immortal Realm, not only will your life be at risk, but this Seven Stars Market will also be lost! It will become someone else's wedding dress! Joining the Demon Realm is different; at least we will not harm people in secret. We are open about it."
Kong Ming mocked, "Is joining the Demon Realm any better? You have to worry about demonic cultivators going crazy and killing people for treasure at any time. Going to your Demon Realm is truly seeking death!"
Hidden Star just felt that the two were very strange. They seemed to be persuading him to join the Immortal Realm or the Demon Realm, but neither mentioned any benefits, only blindly oppressing and threatening him.
At this moment, Su Yuan, outside the scene, saw it clearly.
When Hidden Star mentioned the Seven Stars Dao Lord, the number of thoughts manifested simultaneously was not small.
Following these thoughts, one would discover that standing behind the two were indeed the Feilian Legion of the Immortal Realm and the Feipeng Legion of the Demon Realm.
However, the high-level officials of the two legions, while seemingly belonging to two sides, were actually subsidiary forces of the same higher race!
Therefore, in reality, the two legions, while appearing hostile, were actually colluding in secret, taking advantage of the Immortal-Demon War and the skyrocketing tariffs to conduct smuggling trades secretly.
It was just that the high-level officials of the two legions were very worried about this behavior being discovered by stronger existences, so they were both thinking of solutions.
It just so happened that the Seven Stars Market, a third-party force, appeared and entered the high-level meetings of the two legions. They hoped to take over the Seven Stars Market and then use it as a cover to continue the incredibly profitable cross-Realm trade.
Su Yuan had not expected that opening a market below the Golden Immortal level would actually attract the attention of experts above the Golden Immortal level.
Hidden Star was still on guard there, and before long, he discovered that the two had joined forces again to attack him!
This time, both were serious and had taken out their respective Life Immortal Treasures.
In Feidu's hand was a feather fan, with pitch-black flames burning on the surface. Looking at it, one could feel a stinging pain in the Divine Soul.
In Kong Ming's hand, a precious mirror had appeared. Profound light flickered within the mirror, and dangerous rays of light flowed within it.
Seeing this, Hidden Star secretly groaned.
But he did not panic. He knew that the Dao Lord was watching here, and the Dao Lord's teleportation methods could completely allow him to escape danger instantly, so his expression was extremely calm.
Feidu waved his feather fan, and thousands of pitch-black fire feathers swarmed toward Hidden Star.
Hidden Star had no intention of standing there and taking a beating; his figure flickered continuously with the starlight, dodging the attacks of the fire feathers.
This was Star Evasion; the deeper one's insight into the Star Law, the faster the movement speed!
However, the speed of Feidu's pitch-black fire feathers was even faster!
These fire feathers seemed to possess the world's ultimate speed, catching up to Hidden Star's body in a few flickers.
Hidden Star instantly split into countless afterimages.
But the fire feathers seemed to have their own identification method, instantly hitting every afterimage simultaneously.
In an instant, all the afterimages dissipated.
Layers of mirror surfaces condensed in front of Hidden Star, intending to reflect the attacks.
But the fire feather attack was too dense, instantly exceeding the defense limit of the mirror surfaces.
Crack!
Several layers of mirror surfaces shattered. The pitch-black fire feathers hit his body, and the Soul-Devouring flames burned his body, penetrating into his body and burning his Soul!
Hidden Star frantically mobilized his Magic Power to expel the pitch-black fire feathers from his body.
However, thousands of tri-colored profound lights had already arrived from behind. All the tri-colored profound lights merged into one, turning into a tri-colored light pillar, enveloping Hidden Star within it.
After a few breaths, Hidden Star walked out of the light pillar in a sorry state. There were thousands of wounds on his body, much of his flesh had disappeared, and the wounds, deep enough to see the bone, proved that his Physical Body had suffered significant injuries!
Kong Ming's attacks actually had miraculous effects on the Physical Body, while Feidu's attacks were extremely restraining to the Soul. With the two joining forces, it could be said that they were beating Hidden Star up in every aspect!
Hidden Star's Life Immortal Treasure was a glove, which was neither fish nor fowl; it was bad at attacking and bad at defending. It was unknown why he had created this Life Immortal Treasure.
"Dao Lord, save me!"
Hidden Star shouted miserably toward the sky.
Feidu and Kong Ming both looked around vigilantly, while not slowing down their movements, still attacking Hidden Star.
Suddenly.
The starlight in the sky shone brightly!
Feidu and Kong Ming both looked up.
Amidst the starlight, nine Flying Swords appeared!
The nine swords flowed, turning into a Big Dipper Sword Formation, and then immediately descended, their tips pointing directly at the two.
Both of their expressions tightened.
"There is actually another expert!"
"This aura is not simple, at least at the Late Stage of the Golden Immortal Realm!"
Feidu protected himself with his feather fan.
But at the next moment.
A long sword appeared out of thin air behind Feidu and, with lightning speed, pierced through his chest.
On the sword body, countless Law secret patterns instantly covered his body. The net-like Law secret patterns, like a heavenly net, instantly locked up his Magic Power Origin, Primordial Spirit, and Physical Body.
Feidu looked down at the sword tip protruding from his chest in disbelief; he could not perceive at all how this sword had appeared!
The densely packed Law secret patterns that were moving and forming on his body also made his scalp tingle. Just by looking at them, he could tell there were at least a hundred types of Laws involved.
His feather fan was also instantly covered by Law secret patterns. The feather fan, which had originally been emitting powerful pitch-black flames, was extinguished directly!
Feidu could no longer even feel the existence of the pitch-black fire feathers.
His Life connection with the feather fan was severed!
Looking at the other side, Kong Ming suffered the same fate. His body was bound by chains formed by countless Law secret patterns. The densely packed Law secret patterns on his face could not hide the look of bewilderment on Kong Ming's face.
Presumably, he also did not know how he had been defeated; how the Flying Sword was just in the sky, and in the next instant, it had teleported into their bodies.
"Is this Space Laws? This kind of higher-order Law is without exception a sign of an expert!" Feidu smiled bitterly in his heart. He had kicked an iron plate. He had obviously investigated many times, even investigating within the Seven Star Realm; how could such an expert appear?
No, it was precisely because an expert existed that they could not find any clues...
Just after the two were captured alive.
Su Yuan's figure slowly appeared. The moment he appeared, a massive pressure at the Peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm radiated from his body.
In an instant, both were pressed to the ground. Only one thought flashed through Feidu's mind: You are so strong, why did you not say so earlier? Why hide? Were you just waiting for them to take the bait? This is fishing! He protested severely in his heart!
