A day later, Wu returned, and the Star Palace agreed to Li Feiyu's request, giving him some items.
From the Star Palace's perspective, each of the three methods was not simple.
For Dual Cultivation, female Cultivators who reach Core Formation and possess a special Physique are rare even in the entire Chaotic Star Sea.
For the Jinyuan Pill, finding the inner core of a specific seventh-grade Demon Beast depends on luck; while there are many Demon Beasts in the Outer Star Sea, specific species are very few, and most special Spirit Beasts are solitary.
Therefore, it's common to search for decades without finding them, and those thousand-year Spirit Medicines are also hard to find; even the Star Palace might not be able to gather one or two complete Pill Formula Materials in a hundred years.
The third method was the least favored by the Star Palace; although a former Saint Lord left notes stating it was feasible, no one had ever succeeded, making it essentially useless.
Of course, whether this represented all of the Star Palace's collections was known only to its high-ranking members.
The reason Li Feiyu made this request was actually for the Five Elements Breaking Infant Art, which they least favored.
Naturally, this method would be ineffective for ordinary people, but Li Feiyu had a cheat!
Cheaters never play by the rules!
After receiving the items, Li Feiyu smiled slightly at Wu, "I've accepted the items; await my good news."
In fact, the Star Palace members also doubted whether Li Feiyu could succeed, as Scarlet Fire Old Freak and Wan Wusheng were truly not simple.
The Star Palace had those who could rival them, but none who could kill them.
Each of them had a record of escaping from Nascent Soul Old Freaks, having almost reached the limit of the Core Formation stage Realm.
If it weren't for the Xing Family's strong recommendation, the Star Palace would not have agreed to Li Feiyu's request.
After all, if Li Feiyu were to die and the items fell into the hands of the Inverse Star Alliance, it would be a double loss.
Li Feiyu once again examined the Jade Slip recording the mission; it contained not only their whereabouts but also brief introductions of their lives, Cultivation Techniques, Magic Treasures they had displayed in front of outsiders, and other extremely detailed information.
With a plan in mind, Li Feiyu turned and returned to his Immortal Cave; he spent a day tidying up the Immortal Cave, and after this task, he would head directly to the Outer Star Sea.
He estimated that he probably wouldn't return until he formed a Nascent Soul.
The next day, Li Feiyu rushed out of his Immortal Cave, a fiery red bird perched on his shoulder, and flew towards the outside of Heavenly Star City, breaking through the air.
Now, because the grand formation was activated, Li Feiyu could only exit through the city gate, leaving in a proper manner.
A month later, Li Feiyu arrived at a remote sea area, where there was a sizable island. On the island was a medium-sized Sect, whose highest-ranking Cultivator was at the late stage Core Formation and had maintained neutrality.
According to the information received by the Star Palace, the Inverse Star Alliance had dispatched Scarlet Fire Old Freak and Wan Wusheng together this time, intending to "persuade" the Sect.
It was estimated that if they disagreed, the outcome would be to kill one to warn a hundred, continuing until they agreed.
Li Feiyu arrived a week early and set up a grand formation in a secluded spot on the island, meditating and practicing Qi.
A week passed in a flash, and that afternoon, Scarlet Fire Old Freak and Wan Wusheng arrived. Li Feiyu had already sent Crimson Crow to monitor from high altitude, and upon discovery, it reported back to Li Feiyu.
Caw! Caw!
Seeing Crimson Crow return, Li Feiyu opened his eyes and said, "Have they arrived? Then let's go see how they "persuade" them to surrender."
Li Feiyu put away the grand formation, concealed his aura, and headed towards the Sect's base.
The Sect was called Flying Fish Sect, and its Cultivation Technique specialized in evasion; the information provided by the Star Palace also included their introduction.
The Flying Fish Sect did not want to get involved in the battle between the Star Palace and the Inverse Star Alliance and directly refused, causing Li Feiyu to shake his head repeatedly.
How could they be so unyielding and survive until now?
With the negotiations failing, battle quickly erupted. Sect Leader Feiyu faced Scarlet Fire Old Freak, while two Core Formation Elders and some Foundation Establishment Disciples tangled with Wan Wusheng.
However, they clearly underestimated the strength of these two.
Even among those at the late stage Core Formation, there could be a significant difference in strength.
Scarlet Fire Old Freak cultivated the Kui Water Demonic Technique, wielding the Kui Water Yin Lightning with divine skill, having reached Major Achievement, and also possessed Three Yin Water, which was insidious and venomous, capable of corroding Magic Treasures.
Sect Leader Feiyu only lasted a few minutes before beginning to fall into a disadvantage.
As for the others confronting Wan Wusheng, Wan Wusheng exuded Killing Intent. He had not only cultivated the Ten Thousand Dharma Gate's Heavenly Net True Skill but also the Wan Jian Sect's Ten Thousand Swords Skill.
When the Ten Thousand Swords Skill was unleashed, the sky was filled with sword shadows, far more powerful than what Li Feiyu had witnessed from the Wan Jian Sect Core Formation Elder in the Taiyin Cave, by more than ten times.
"This Wan Wusheng is quite interesting, but Scarlet Fire Old Freak seems to be holding back."
Li Feiyu watched quietly. Although Sect Leader Feiyu was at a disadvantage, he still stubbornly entangled Scarlet Fire Old Freak; it wouldn't be easy to quickly resolve him with current methods.
"Brother Scarlet Fire, how long do you plan to stall? If someone from the Star Palace comes, it will be troublesome."
As he spoke, only one heavily injured Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator remained around Wan Wusheng; all the others were dead.
Scarlet Fire Old Freak glanced at Wan Wusheng, and black flames suddenly erupted from his body. The flames were incredibly hot, causing the Void to twist.
"Dual Cultivation of Water and Fire?!"
Wan Wusheng exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder Brother Scarlet Fire is considered the Cultivator most likely to advance to Nascent Soul in recent years; he is indeed formidable."
"That flame must be the Demonic Fire cultivated from the Blazing Fire Demonic Technique; truly impressive."
Scarlet Fire Old Freak was seen with Kui Water Yin Lightning in one hand and scorching Demonic Fire in the other. The two alternated, intertwining and rushing towards Sect Leader Feiyu.
This attack was extremely fast. The already injured Sect Leader Feiyu had no time to dodge and fully activated his Cultivation Technique to resist.
However, the power of water and fire, being opposing forces, erupted with far greater might than either alone, making it extremely dangerous. Without corresponding courage and willpower, one simply could not Dual Cultivate them.
Li Feiyu was the same in the beginning, always using his Divine Sense to suppress them, but it became different after he Dual Cultivated the Five Elements.
The Five Elements oppose and generate each other, endlessly.
Under the power of water and fire, Sect Leader Feiyu died on the spot, and the Core Formation Middle Stage Elder on the other side also perished.
Scarlet Fire Old Freak said, "Your Sect Leader is dead. Do you still want to resist stubbornly?"
Many Disciples exchanged glances, and finally, led by a Late Foundation Establishment stage Protector, they chose to surrender to the Inverse Star Alliance.
After consolidating all resources, Scarlet Fire Old Freak and Wan Wusheng planned to leave with everyone.
Just then, a crisp round of applause echoed from an empty space.
Scarlet Fire Old Freak and Wan Wusheng's expressions changed, and their Divine Sense immediately swept across the area. Their Divine Sense power was also quite formidable; although not as strong as Li Feiyu's, it was quite powerful among those at the late stage Core Formation.
Li Feiyu materialized from his invisible state, dressed in a black robe, with the face of the Star Palace's Wu, of course, still concealing his true Realm.
Scarlet Fire Old Freak and Wan Wusheng couldn't see through Li Feiyu's Realm, and their brows furrowed.
Wan Wusheng recognized him, "You are Wu Bifang of the Star Palace!"
"You, a mere Early Stage Core Formation Cultivator, dare to appear before us? I think you have a death wish!"
Scarlet Fire Old Freak secretly transmitted, "Brother Wusheng, this person is strange; he might not be Wu Bifang. Perhaps he used a disguise technique, but I can't see through his true face."
"I know. It seems he arrived early, just hiding in the shadows to observe. Someone who can conceal their aura so perfectly and not be discovered by the two of us is certainly no simple character."
Wan Wusheng said, "But no matter what, he must be here for us two. Perhaps he was invited by the Star Palace."
Li Feiyu smiled slightly, "Why transmit secretly? Just speak openly and honestly. I am indeed sent by the Star Palace to kill you two."
"Just you!" Wan Wusheng roared, and a blood-red treasured sword flew out from his body. The Sword Qi was blood-red and eerie, filled with Killing Intent.
The blood-red treasured sword flashed, splitting into countless sword shadows, numbering in the hundreds, both real and illusory, making them difficult to discern.
A golden longsword also appeared out of thin air in Li Feiyu's hand. To everyone's surprise, he also unleashed the Ten Thousand Swords Skill.
The golden Sword Qi was vast, with layers of sword shadows, and in terms of quantity, even more than what Wan Wusheng displayed!
"Ten Thousand Swords Skill?!"
Wan Wusheng and Scarlet Fire Old Freak exclaimed simultaneously, their faces filled with shock.
