As the sun set, a huge bonfire lit up outside.

An You'er casually killed a huge ferocious beast, taking only the tenderest meat from its ribs. With a flick of her wrist, she created a bright campfire. The meat chunks were instantly coated with sauce, and after a brief moment in the flames, they emerged with a fragrant aroma and sizzling oil.

"Please have a meal, Junior Uncle."

An You'er spoke respectfully from outside.

A voice came from inside the car: "Interesting. I thought you were just here to spy on me, but I didn't expect you to be in charge of my meals too?"

"Once a junior uncle, always a junior uncle."

An You'er's lips curled up slightly, and she put on a respectful expression again, saying, "Reporting to Junior Uncle, the reason why Grand Venerable Zhaixing is so lenient towards you is because he feels indebted to you, but frankly speaking, isn't this also an opportunity for you?"

"Oh? Tell me more about it."

"Then this disciple will not stand on ceremony."

An You'er straightened up and sneered, "Actually, in Chenxing Valley, we could all work for Grand Venerable Zhaixing, but Grand Venerable Zhaixing is compassionate and unwilling to kill his own people, so he chose you, a newly initiated disciple. Please forgive my bluntness, but if it weren't for this opportunity, as the third-ranked inner disciple, would I serve you? I'm afraid that if I encountered someone like you outside who hasn't even condensed a killing formation, I might reward you with something if I was in a good mood, but if I was in a bad mood, I would just crush you with my bare hands... Reporting to Junior Uncle, although I am only the lowest-ranking Imperial Dao Lower Grade, I am still at the Imperial Dao level, two levels higher than you. Outside, I am also a local overlord!"

"Oh, really?"

Fang Zong suddenly laughed.

The carriage curtain, made of heavy animal hide, moved without wind, and after a few flutters, it crackled and scattered into tiny sparks.

Fang Zong revealed his eyebrows and eyes, and looked up.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sparkling as if he had plucked the stars from the sky, the fiery blades of light capturing them all...

"Peak of the Killing Array? The Star-Picking Killing Array Phenomenon? Heavenly Fire Meteor?!?!"

Upon seeing Fang Zong's eyes, An You'er was horrified, her face turning a mixture of red and blue.

He staggered backward, staring at Fang Zong. His seemingly humble but actually extremely arrogant head suddenly slammed down, and his neck cracked loudly.

"Disciple An You'er greets Junior Uncle!"

He knelt down with a thud, his whole body trembling like a leaf...

Fang Zong got out of the car, picked up the roasted meat, tore off a small piece and ate it.

He smiled meaningfully a moment later and said softly, "Are you scared?"

"Junior Uncle is exceptionally talented, this disciple is terrified!"

An You'er quickly replied.

As an inner disciple of Chenxing Valley, he naturally knew just how terrifying the power of the modified Star-Picking Killing Array truly was.

The Sinking Star Killing Array, to put it bluntly, is simply a formation that conjures up incredibly hard and heavy stones out of thin air to overwhelm people with its sheer force.

The Star-Picking Killing Array is different; it's like plucking stars from the sky, and the power generated varies depending on the cultivator's talent and aptitude.

The lowest level is Black Star, which is only slightly stronger than the Sinking Star Killing Array.

The next level up is Venus, which can cut through gold and jade as easily as anything else;

The most powerful is the Heavenly Fire Meteor!

When this Star-Picking Killing Formation is unleashed, it is as if fiery stars have truly been plucked from the sky. It is neither heavy nor sharp, and all its power is transformed into explosive force, capable of defeating multiple opponents with ease!

An You'er said dryly, "Junior Uncle just obtained the Star-Picking Killing Array and immediately cultivated it to the Great Perfection. It seems that Junior Uncle has been stuck at the fifth level of Divine Power for a long time, making him dozens of times stronger than people of the same level. In addition, you created the Star-Picking Killing Array of Heavenly Fire Meteor. With your current strength, you are enough to compete with those of the lower level of Imperial Dao!"

Fang Zong laughed and said, "I might not be able to beat you."

"I am ranked third in the inner sect, and my talent is quite good. You may not be able to beat me."

An You'er suddenly looked up, her ambition overflowing, her eyes shining like fire. "But with your talent and potential, Junior Uncle, you will soon be able to embark on the Imperial Path, and even soar all the way to the Dao Spirit! This disciple still has the desire to pursue immortality, but Grand Venerable Zhaixing has already hesitated. This disciple is willing to follow Junior Uncle. Even if Grand Venerable Zhaixing wants to kill you, Junior Uncle, this disciple is willing to help Junior Uncle by asking the remnant spirit of the sect's ancestor to make a judgment, which will surely protect Junior Uncle!"

Sects with a three-star rating or higher are able to retain the remnant spirit of their deceased ancestors.

The remnant spirit has no mind, but is absolutely impartial. When the sect encounters a major event, the best disciples, the inner disciples, are willing to go through fire and water, and after being covered in wounds, they can ask the remnant spirit of the patriarch for justice.

An You'er's sincerity is evident.

Fang Zong simply smiled and casually said, "Do you think your thoughts can be hidden from an ant?"
