In the ninth-level civilization star domain, Lin Yun and his group's warship traveled rapidly through the starry sky.

Sometimes we enter an acceleration space with very few people, sometimes we travel through ordinary starships where there is a lot of spatial turbulence and it is not suitable to enter the acceleration space, and sometimes we enter interstellar ports or teleportation array areas with a large number of people.

"Six top-tier warships of a level nine technological civilization! What kind of force is this?"

"Not only are they top-tier warships, but five of them are not ordinary top-tier warships. The value of just one of them is probably equivalent to the value of several ordinary top-tier warships!"

"It's really that valuable?"

"Get out of the way! The owners of these warships are not people we can afford to mess with!"

During this time, many people saw Lin Yun's group's warships and became wary. Their whispers were also detected by Ba Hu Ye's group's warships and heard by Lin Yun's group.

Top-tier warships at the level of a ninth-level technological civilization are rare, but not uncommon, in a ninth-level star field. Any random interstellar port could hold countless warships of this level. However, a fleet of six top-tier warships at the level of a ninth-level technological civilization is quite unusual.

Not to mention, some discerning individuals recognized that several of Lin Yun's group's warships were not ordinary level-nine technological civilization-level top-grade warships; one of them was equivalent to several ordinary top-grade warships, which was even more astonishing.

Ironically, those who recognized that Lin Yun's group's warship was no ordinary vessel, while expressing great apprehension, often harbored a strong sense of pride.

In their view, such an invisible and advanced warship is not something that ordinary people can recognize. If they can recognize it, it means that they are not simple.

This represents a person's experience and perspective; their experience and perspective clearly surpass those of ordinary people.

"The Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition is about to begin, and these people should be participating in it!"

"I heard that the Bloodthirsty Demon that caused such a stir in our Ninth-Level Civilization Star Domain recently has reappeared in our Ninth-Level Civilization Star Domain, targeting the strong and putting many of them in grave danger. Just then, the Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition begins, and many strong individuals spontaneously gather together to participate in the competition. These people may also be part of this group."

"Indeed, these people can use warships of this level, so their strength is probably not weak. They can't possibly miss the Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition."

"Judging from these people's warships, there are probably more than one half-step super strong among them."

Some of these people continued to flaunt their knowledge, drawing astonishment from those around them, which made them even more proud.

Lin Yun only heard about this kind of information and then ignored it, finding it meaningless.

What caught the attention of Lin Yun and his group was another type of information.

"More news has arrived: two more half-step super powerhouses have been killed on their way to the Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition. It must be the Bloodthirsty Demon who is behind it!"

"A friend of mine sent me news that the half-step super-strong Daoist Jiu of the Womo Empire, along with more than a hundred level-twelfth cultivators he led, were all killed. Someone saw it, and it was the Bloodthirsty Demon who made the move..."

One message after another was passed to Lin Yun by Lian Shan, Xiao Chong, and several other half-step super strong individuals, making the group's mood slightly heavy.

“This Nan Weng has really gone mad. His identity has long been exposed, yet he still dares to do this. Originally, some super strong figures had spoken up, telling him to hand over the Bloodthirsty Sword and not to implicate the Nan family. All the members of the Nan family have long been controlled by some super strong figures. But now, he still dares to do this. Many forces and many strong figures are furious, and those super strong figures are about to lose their temper…” Qing Luo said in a deep voice.

“If this continues, everyone in the Nan family will probably die!” Lian Shan nodded.

“Those super-strong individuals who control the Nan family members want to force Nan Weng to hand over the Bloodthirsty Sword through this method. However, Nan Weng’s killings have already angered other super-strong individuals. Moreover, Nan Weng’s actions clearly show that he doesn’t care about the lives of those Nan family members. This is also a provocation to those super-strong individuals who control the Nan family members. If this continues, the extermination of the Nan family is inevitable!” Xiao Chong nodded in agreement.

"Well, how should I put it? It's not necessarily a bad thing that Nan Weng doesn't hand over the Bloodthirsty Sword. He's only at the half-step super strong realm, yet he possesses such strength and has caused such a great deal of bloodshed. If he were to hand over the Bloodthirsty Sword, what if it fell into the hands of a super strong expert? What kind of strength would that super strong expert possess? Could he resist the temptation of using the Bloodthirsty Sword to kill and increase his strength? If he couldn't resist, what kind of bloodshed would result?"

"If Nan Weng hands over the Bloodthirsty Sword, surely no super-strong expert would accept it? Even if there are only a few super-strong experts, they definitely wouldn't just stand by and watch that Bloodthirsty Sword fall into the hands of one of them. So, such a thing shouldn't happen, right? But, it's hard to say!"

"Well, it's hard to say about that!"

They then discussed the matter and expressed their opinions.

"Right now, the most worrying person is still that bloodthirsty madman, Nan Weng! Right now, he's roaming around killing powerful people, and he's definitely targeting half-step super strong people and powerful level twelve cultivators. His eyes are already on the contestants heading to participate in the Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition!"

"Based on the information from his several ambush attempts, we can deduce that his strength has indeed not yet broken through to the Super Realm! It seems that, as Young Master Lin said, the Super Strongman Ouyang Zhanlei was seriously injured earlier, which allowed him to take the opportunity to kill him!"

"Besides that, his strongest targets were those three half-step super experts he ambushed. His next targets shouldn't easily exceed that level. Our group has six half-step super experts in total, plus someone like Brother Xiao who is worth several half-step super experts, so we should be relatively safe..."

Lian Shan, Qing Luo, and the others continued their discussion.

However, upon hearing Lian Shan, Qing Luo, and the others discussing this, Lin Yun shook his head.

He understood what Lian Shan, Qing Luo, and the others meant: Nan Weng's strength was limited, and he dared not ambush a stronger team.

This is probably a misconception.

He had witnessed the scene of Nan Weng fighting with Ouyang Zhanlei.

At that time, Nan Weng might have been slightly inferior to Ouyang Zhanlei in their fight, but the difference wasn't significant.

At that time, Nan Weng's strength was definitely beyond what three ordinary half-step super strongmen could handle.

Not to mention, after killing Ouyang Zhanlei, and so many half-step super strongmen and so many powerful level twelve cultivators, Nan Weng's strength must be even greater.

He estimated that Nanweng was not able to deal with those powerful forces.

Actually, it was out of caution.
