"Master Beast, take good care of your injuries. I'll be up there to find you soon!"
"Very soon, where do you think this is? It took me, Master Beast, more than 1,000 years to reach this ninth floor! So show off!" Master Beast's tone was full of contempt.
"Young Master! He looks down on you. Let's go directly to the second floor?" Zixiao said with a pout.
"Alright! Let's go to the second floor today!" Yu Kai grabbed Zi Xiao's hand, and the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword instantly appeared in his hand. The two of them slowly flew upwards, the power of the false god flowing through their bodies, isolating them from the surging flames of karma.
Yu Kai slashed through the boundary wall with his sword and flew towards the second layer. The extremely powerful Buddhist sound attacked him, but this time he was well prepared. A shield flew out from his soul sea to block this critical blow.
Zixiao wasn't attacked by Foyin, but she felt a little irritated. Yu Kai immediately took her into his soul sea, and he quickly sat on the altar to confront Foyin.
"This is the Zen Sound Prison. I must stay alert. I don't want to be converted by these sounds." These sounds constantly assaulted Yu Kai's sea of consciousness. The Buddhist sounds would transform into various illusions, tempting him to let go of his obsessions and submit to Buddhism. If his mind wavered even slightly, he would be completely brainwashed by the Buddhist sounds, becoming a puppet of Buddhism.
Shouye's eyes widened. "He's coming up already? He blocked this Zen sound attack so easily?"
"Are you still trying to make me, Master Beast, live?! Back when I was so gifted and powerful, I didn't die this fast! You're really bullying me! I... I'm going to sleep, no... I'm practicing!"
As Yu Kai desperately fought to resist the Buddha's voice and train his mind, the Shen family on Neptune also welcomed a large and luxurious warship, and a handsome young man took the lead. This man was Lu Zhao, the young patriarch of Sirius, who came to the Shen family accompanied by Wei Changfeng and others.
Shen Teng welcomed Lu Zhao inside. For over a year, the Shen family had been marginalized, even the Pluto, owned by the Demon Snail Emperor, had been seized by the madman Lei Ze. This arrogant individual, possessing unparalleled thunder magic, relied on his peak Grand Master strength to drive the Shen family out. He even used the Heaven-shaking War Drum to slay the Demon Snail Monkey's puppet, Xuan Xingzi, forcing the other Pluto forces to submit. Not content with Pluto, he now set his sights on Neptune.
Lu Zhao's arrival was precisely to seize the opportunity to acquire Neptune and Uranus, which the Shen family controlled. He wasn't afraid of the Lei Ze Kuang Ke. While arrogant, he wouldn't dare provoke the Celestial Court. Lu Zhao's father was the Star Lord of Sirius, personally appointed by the Jade Emperor. Most people wouldn't dare offend him. Furthermore, Sirius was rich in Star Gathering Fruit, and with their considerable financial resources, they were able to recruit many talented individuals.
The Shen family also sought help from the Wan Yao Sect, but the top leaders of the Wan Yao Sect were punished by the Heavenly Court for going to Yuexing to rescue Shen Xingze, Murong Shuang and others.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu arrived at the Ten Thousand Demons Gate, slashed a huge chasm with his sword, and shouted, "Whoever dares to leave this realm will be killed!" The Great Emperor Zhenwu was a figure of the Heavenly Court, a powerful emperor. However, he did not have the empty title of emperor like Zhang Daoling and others.
With both the Demon Master Kunpeng and Deputy Master Lu Ya absent from the Wan Yao Sect, the other higher-ups remained silent. They could do nothing to help the Shen family's plight. Shen Xingze was impatient, but he didn't dare leave for fear of implicating them.
The only option is for Shen Teng and the others to give up Neptune and Uranus, find a place to hide their strength, and make plans after Yu Kai or Emperor Shi returns.
"Young Patriarch Lu, you also know that my Shen family is in a bad situation now, so we chose to rent these two stars to you." Shen Teng sat in the main seat and said politely to Lu Zhao.
"How did it become a lease? Are you kidding my young master?" Wei Changfeng's face turned cold, and a cold murderous intent instantly swept through the entire hall.
Shen Jingyu and Shen Canglan immediately stood in front of Shen Teng with weapons in hand, and the two sides confronted each other with swords drawn.
"Mr. Lu, my Shen family has never said that we want to sell these two stars. After all, this is the root of my Shen family. Besides, with the existence of Haiyuan, your Lu family will not lose out!" Shen Teng pushed Xiao Zu aside, walked up to Lu Zhao who was still sipping tea and said.
"Hmph! If you don't agree today, the Shen family will perish!" Wei Changfeng directly took out his heavy black iron sword, and the several followers who followed him all had the strength of a high-level Great Venerable, and they all stepped forward.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open, and countless elders and guards of the Shen family surrounded them, holding weapons and glaring at them.
Just when the atmosphere was cold, Lu Zhao spoke up: "Uncle Wei, put away all the weapons. How can you force people to buy or sell?" He put the teacup on the table with a calm face.
"Yes! Young Master!" Wei Changfeng glanced at Chen Teng coldly, and he and the people around him put away their weapons.
Shen Teng also signaled the elders outside to withdraw first, "Master Lu is still reasonable!"
"I won't waste my words. If it weren't for the abyss on Neptune, I really wouldn't have looked down on it! Let's sign an agreement to lease it for 100 years, and then return it to you after a hundred years." Lu Zhao had a kind smile on his face.
"Okay!" Shen Teng immediately arranged for someone to fetch writing materials and reached a consensus with Lu Zhao on the spot. The Lu family would send someone to help locate Liu Ling and would also deliver a massive amount of minerals and spirit crystals to the Shen family all at once. Lu Zhao agreed to all of this and left with the contract. Someone then delivered the items and told him to leave as soon as possible, stating that they would return in three days to take over Neptune and Uranus.
On the way back to Sirius, Wei Changfeng looked puzzled: "Young Master, now that the Shen family has lost its great formation, they are like ants in our eyes. Why should we pay so many spirit crystals and minerals?"
"They want to wait for Yu Kai and Shen Xingze to grow up 100 years later. After all, these two are in the top 10 of the Tianjiao list. If these two are around...we have to be more restrained. Spending this money is nothing!" Lu Zhao smiled while holding a teacup.
"Isn't this too cheap for them?" Wei Changfeng still felt a little distressed.
"How can my things be so easy to take? Money can move people! Just spread some news and someone will take action!"
"Young Master is really smart. We can reap the benefits later, hehe!" Wei Changfeng seemed to have seen the scene where the Shen family would lose everything.
"That woman named Liu Ling must be found. Whether it's for the mysterious alchemy furnace or to win the credit from the Potential Saint, she's indispensable. Moreover, she's Yu Kai's only woman!"
"Don't worry, sir! I'll raise the reward right away!" Wei Changfeng immediately bowed and strode out of the warship.
At Neptune Shen's house, everyone was packing their bags. At night, Shen Teng handed over all the collected spirit crystals and mines to Ma's small courtyard. At this time, Ma's eyes were wet, and she held Shen Teng's hand tightly.
"Alright, everyone knows that my Shen family has taken the Lu family's spirit crystals and minerals! After we leave, we will definitely be intercepted by people with ulterior motives! You take these resources with the younger generation of my Shen family and sneak away from another caravan tonight!" Shen Teng also held Ma's hand tightly, "Don't worry, the ancestor will quietly protect you!"
"Then what are you going to do?" Ma's face was full of worry and reluctance.
"My ancestor and I will lead the rest of the Shen family to the Myriad Demons Sect! We will attract their attention for you and ensure that you can reach Earth safely!"
