In the face of Chen Feng's attacks, the sword array began shaking. It seemed as though Chen Feng would be able to break out the very next moment.

“This kid is something else. Star Monarch, how about giving him to my Immortal Sword Sect?”

“Ha ha ha, no way! I saw him first. You fellows, hurry up and take action.”

“Attack!”

A mote of starlight shot towards Chen Feng. When it arrived above Chen Feng's head, it abruptly exploded into a skyful of starlight which enveloped him. Black Armour and the other three occupied four different locations and their hands kept swinging to send one stream of power after another at Chen Feng.

Golden light kept flas.h.i.+ng and transforming. Sometimes, they would transform into threads and sometimes they would transform into ropes. The rate at which the threads and ropes appeared became increasingly fast. In the end, a thick rope – s.h.i.+ning with starlight – swirled around Chen Feng to tie him up. Then, Black Armour carried him off, bringing him to Star Monarch.

“Sending 10,000 men against 3,000 men. In the end, even your Heavenly Immortals interfered. If news of this gets out, I wonder, will the reputation of the Starsource Order and Immortal Sword Sect fall into the gutter? I honestly didn't think that the famed orthodox sects of the Immortal Plane would do something like this,” Chen Feng said with a snicker, unperturbed by the fact that they had managed to capture him.

Despite their thick skins, hearing those words caused the faces of the few Heavenly Immortals there to turn flushed. Speaking of which, their actions earlier were indeed somewhat unscrupulous.

“Starsource Order! Immortal Sword Sect! Do you fellows really think that our Six Daos Sword Faction is easy prey?!” Suddenly, six beams of sword light, each with varying colours, appeared in the distant sky. At the same time, a furious voice spread towards them. In the face of the voice, a high number of the cultivators engaged in battle were quaked unconscious.

“The Six Dao Swords of Devastation! Why did those six fellows come here? This is bad! They are notorious for disregarding the rules.”

“Let's leave. I don't believe they will take action against the True Immortal disciples.”

“Let's go!”

More reinforcements finally came for the Six Daos Sword Faction's side. Due to that, the Heavenly Immortals from the Starsource Order and Immortal Sword Sect retreated. However, the True Immortals continued attacking.

“You want to leave now? Don't you think it's already too late for that? Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne, Envoy Heavenly Sword, you fellows are not getting away!”

A terrifying sword energy with no equal pierced through the sky and many of the cultivators on the battlefield were terribly brutalized by it. Naturally, they were all the cultivators from the Starsource Order's side.

Despite their arrogant words, that was all the Six Dao Swords of Devastation could do. If they were to kill off a high number of the enemy True Immortals, their actions would lead to a full-blown war.

“What do we do? The enemy managed to capture and take Senior Brother Chen away?” Even though they had already received Chen Feng's message earlier, Patron Mountriver was still feeling somewhat concerned.

“He should be fine.” Despite saying that, the Dragon Slaying Daoist was also feeling uncertain. No matter how powerful Chen Feng may be, the ones he faced this time were Heavenly Immortals. Escaping from them will not be easy.

Since getting captured, Chen Feng had been constantly trying to break free. Naturally, his acts of resistance were nothing in the eyes of Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne. For safety's sake, however, Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne decided to insert some seals into Chen Feng's body.

Only after three days had pa.s.sed did Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne and the others found a place to land.

“Alright. Kid, tell us about your background.” Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne displayed quite a decent att.i.tude towards him.

Observing this display from them, Chen Feng immediately knew what they were up to. He could not help but feel amused.

“Chen Qing, a loose cultivator from the Mountains and Rivers Domain. I joined the Six Daos Sword Faction several hundred years ago,” Chen Feng said calmly, neither sounding haughty nor humble. But seeing his calmness, the few Heavenly Immortals there nodded their heads.

“Ha ha ha! We are all cultivators. Let's be straightforward here. I want to invite you to join our Starsource Order. I have enough authority to make you a foreign affairs elder. And by making enough contributions, you will be able to become a core member of our Starsource Order. What do you think? It is much better than staying with the Six Daos Sword Faction, no?” Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne said, laughing.

“A very tempting offer. Me joining the Starsource Order is not out of the question. If the Starsource Order can offer me a secret technique, I can agree to join.” Chen Feng smiled.

“Oh, what secret technique?” Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne asked with a smile.

“The Treasured Starsource Record!” Chen Feng replied.

“That's impossible. The Treasured Starsource Record is something that only Heavenly Immortals are allowed to cultivate. Additionally, the person in question must also be an heir disciple of our Starsource Order.” Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne's face abruptly sank. Even someone like him was only able to cultivate two of the secret techniques recorded within the Treasured Starsource Record. This kid was simply too arrogant. Or perhaps, he was simply making fun of them.

“How stingy. You want to headhunt disciples, but you are unwilling bring anything out for it,” Chen Feng said disdainfully.

“And what benefits did the Six Daos Sword Faction offered you? From what I can see, you were clearly sent to the star mine to serve as a low-rank worker.” Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne's face blackened.

“Three sword moves from the Six Daos Sword Codex. How about it? Aren't they far more generous compared to your Starsource Order?” Chen Feng bluffed.

“No way!” Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne could not believe it.

Chen Feng responded with a snicker.

“Do not forget, you are now just a lowly prisoner. You have no qualifications to be bargaining with us.” Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne suddenly calmed down.

“I'm not a prisoner.” After saying that, Chen Feng's palm abruptly stretched out to grab the Starsource Chain that was tying him up.

Immediately, the Starsource Chain shone with a dazzling starlight.

“What, you can still move?” Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne's face sank sharply and he swiftly got to his feet. Earlier, he had already taken action to seal up Chen Feng's cultivation base. What was going on?

“You fellows think you can capture me so easily? What a joke!” Chen Feng channelled power into his palm and tugged all of a sudden. Then, with a series of popping sounds, dazzling starlight flared out and every part of the Starsource Chain, a pseudo-Divine artifact, broke before Chen Feng's might.

“Pu!”

Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne's face turned red and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

With a grasping motion from Chen Feng, the broken chain transformed into starlight before disappearing into Chen Feng's body. At the same time, an unparalleled aura of unrestrained hegemony emerged from his body to sweep out into his surroundings. Standing tall, Chen Feng gave off an aura of dominance. In the face of the aura, all the Heavenly Immortals there were forced to retreat. As for the seals that Star Monarch Blacks.h.i.+ne placed inside Chen Feng's body, they were nothing more than a joke.

The other Heavenly Immortals, however, were quick to react. With a wave of his hand, Envoy Heavenly Sword sent forth a flying sword, which rapidly transformed into a sword array around Chen Feng. It was the same sword array used to entrap Chen Feng back then.

In their opinion, even if Chen Feng possessed the cultivation base of a Heavenly Immortal, he would still need some time to break through the sword array. That time would be enough for them to come up with some other moves.

Unexpectedly, the sword array disappeared with just a grasping move from Chen Feng, leaving a flying sword struggling non-stop within Chen Feng's grip.

Everything had happened in but the blink of an eye.

“Not bad. This makes two pseudo-Divine artifacts!” Chen Feng was secretly feeling delighted. With this, his decision back then had turned out to be the right one. In just such a short amount of time, he had managed to net so much.

“Well then, fellows. It's time I say goodbye.” After that, the Bedazzling Star Map promptly unfurled and a river of stars flowed out. Next, a cl.u.s.ter of stars emerged and the Heavenly Immortals charging at Chen Feng were all sent flying. In the end, the Bedazzling Star Map wrapped Chen Feng up. Then, with a few flashes, it disappeared from sight.

After one joss stick's worth of time, the chaotic situation subsided. Everyone there exchanged glances, the look of fury on their faces having disappeared. All that was left was a bitter smile.

“We made an error in judgement. What an embarra.s.sment! Even though there are so many of us, we ended up being made fools by a minor True Immortal.”

“No, he's not a True Immortal! Have any of you ever seen such a powerful True Immortal before? He must be a Heavenly Immortal! The Six Daos Sword Faction is breaking the rules here!”

“Yes, spread the news. Say that the Six Daos Sword Faction had one of their Heavenly Immortals disguised as a True Immortal to indiscriminately kill off the weaker disciples. I would like to see how the Six Daos Sword Faction deals with this.”

“But what if he is just a True Immortal?”

One of them said and everyone there fell silent.

…

Thanks to the aid from the Six Dao Swords of Devastation, the minor war quickly came to an end. Although the six of them did not join the battle, they did bring with them over 1,000 True Immortals. At the same time, they also constructed a teleportation array there. And while the Six Daos Sword Faction ended up taking a minor loss in this battle, losing a small portion of their territory there, the casualties on the Starsource Order's side were in no way smaller compared to the casualties they inflicted on the Six Daos Sword Faction.

The Starsource Order had sent over 10,000 cultivators for this attack. That gave them a very big advantage over the Six Daos Sword Faction. And yet, when looking at the casualties incurred by both sides, the Six Daos Sword Faction had better results.

Nearly half of the enemy deaths were the courtesy of Chen Feng.

“Chen Qing? You mean to say a loose cultivator managed to kill off hundreds of them? Surely not?” Inquiring the battle, the Heavenly Immortals from the Six Daos Sword Faction then looked at each other. They could not believe it.

“Seniors, it is the truth. Although Senior Brother Chen is just a True Immortal, his combat power is very strong. He possesses a top-grade immortal sword and is strong enough to fight high-level True Immortals, even half-step Heavenly Immortals. However, the enemy Heavenly Immortals secretly captured him.” Out of concern for Chen Feng, Patron Mountriver quickly spoke up. Naturally, he did not mention the matter of Chen Feng having the strength to fight even Heavenly Immortals, for fear of causing unnecessary problems.

“Despicable! These fellows are becoming increasingly unscrupulous. Bullying others with numbers is bad enough, but their Heavenly Immortals actually took action? We cannot let this slide. Firstly, we have to spread this matter out. Secondly, the six of us will attack them and save this Chen Qing. Also, when we return to the sect, I want to ask around. Why did such a genius get sent here?” One of the Six Dao Swords of Devastation, Killer Sword of the Heavenly Dao, said icily.

For the six of them, the casualties their sect suffered here was nothing. This Chen Qing was the most important issue here. Chen Qing alone was comparable to 10,000 True Immortals.

“Let's not delay it. Move out.”

“Eh, someone's coming.”

“Chen Qing! Chen Qing has returned!”

Just as the Heavenly Immortals were about to make their move, Chen Feng finally returned. Due to the earlier battle, Chen Feng's 'name' had become famous. If it weren't for him, all the defenders may have been killed off earlier. Thus, Chen Feng's appearance immediately caused all the cultivators there to become delighted.

“This person is Chen Qing?”

Chen Feng greeted the Heavenly Immortals and they cast their gazes upon him. That was particularly true of the Six Dao Swords of Devastation. The six of them secretly made use of their secret techniques as they attempted to see Chen Feng's true state.

He is indeed a True Immortal, and a starter-level True Immortal to boot! However, there are several top-grade Immortal artifacts hidden inside his body. Eh? This power. It is very well hidden, but it cannot hide from us. This is clearly a pseudo-Divine artifact!

Under Chen Feng's machinations, they thought that they had successfully seen through him.
