Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

Jiang Yining's style of doing things has always been swift and decisive, without any hesitation or delay.

Within half an hour of the order being issued, the massive war machine of Abandoned Star Island was running at full speed. She directly used the vast resources she had just seized from the Demon Realm Dragon Palace and the Star Spirit Clan's elite fleet.

Dozens of purple-gold treasure chests, crafted from primordial ice and engraved with intricate defensive array patterns, were neatly stacked on the plaza. The moment the chests were opened, terrifying surges of spiritual energy erupted like a tsunami, nearly scattering all the clouds in the sky!

A full ten million pure, top-grade star crystals, without a trace of impurity, plus a full one hundred rare spiritual herbs that are ten thousand years old and so powerful that even a single one of them could cause a bloodbath in the outside world.

This terrifying wealth, enough to give even the leader of a super sect a stroke, was sent in a grand and imposing manner by the most elite hundred-man guard team of Abandoned Star Island to the Phoenix Clan's hidden territory marked on the jade slip.

This isn't about hiring people; it's about using a dazzling mountain of gold to brutally break down the enemy's defenses!

Meanwhile, inside the Divine Weapon Pavilion behind Abandoned Star Island, a frantic emergency expansion was underway overnight.

Countless rare ancient spirit trees that had disappeared from the Canglan Realm, as well as top-grade ores mined from the deep sea of ​​the Demon Realm, were piled up like worthless trash, forming rolling hills.

More than a hundred spirit-gathering arrays, personally inscribed by experts at the Profound Light Realm, activated simultaneously. A massive amount of spiritual energy transformed into a visible rain of spiritual liquid, enveloping the entire Divine Weapon Pavilion and making all the necessary preparations for the upcoming interdimensional spirit boat project.

Two hours later.

The massive teleportation array in the center of the Xuan Yin Hall suddenly emitted a strong crimson glow.

"Buzz—!"

Accompanied by a clear, soul-stirring phoenix cry, the spatial barrier was gracefully torn open.

Feng Liuyun, the young master of the Phoenix Clan, makes a grand entrance.

He wore a striking fiery red brocade robe, the hem of which was embroidered with vivid nine-sky bird totems in gold thread. His handsome features were almost otherworldly, and he casually waved a crystal-clear jade folding fan in his hand. His eyes and brows revealed the carefree frivolity and arrogance of a playboy.

He had assumed that the owner of Abandoned Star Island was just a lucky nouveau riche who had made a fortune. He had even been planning in his mind how to arrogantly manipulate the other party, swallow all the top-grade star crystals that were offered to him, and then casually send him away the moment he stepped out of the teleportation array.

However, when he casually raised his head, his gaze fell upon the woman sitting on the white jade throne.

Feng Liuyun's carefully maintained composure crumbled in an instant!

Jiang Yining, dressed in a purple-gold robe, leaned lazily against the throne. Her breathtakingly beautiful face, without a single flaw, combined with the domineering aura of a late-stage Xuan Guang Realm expert, made her resemble a high and mighty ancient empress.

Feng Liuyun's pupils contracted sharply. He had seen countless stunningly beautiful women, but never had a woman before him so perfectly blended ultimate allure with absolute control!

The guards from Abandoned Star Island, who had been on high alert, keenly noticed the change in the Phoenix Clan's young master's eyes and gripped their weapons tightly, creating a dangerous atmosphere in the air.

A strong desire to conquer instantly ignited in Feng Liuyun's heart. The sense of accomplishment of being able to subdue such a high-class beauty would be even more insane than forging a peerless divine weapon.

He deliberately closed his folding fan, confidently took a few steps forward, and completely ignored the warnings from the guards around him.

He tilted his head slightly, his gaze aggressive and even undisguisedly ambiguous, as he forcefully pulled at Jiang Yining on the throne, attempting to overpower the mistress of Abandoned Star Island with his aura.

"Rumor has it that the Lord of Abandoned Star Island spent tens of millions of star crystals. I thought he was just a pot-bellied nouveau riche, but I never expected him to be such a peerless beauty." Feng Liuyun's voice was magnetic, with a hint of deliberate seduction. "It is my honor to serve the Lord of the Island."

Stop using those tricks to fool young girls.

Before Jiang Yining could speak, a cold voice, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, came from the side of the throne.

Gu Qinghan stood quietly beside Jiang Yining. The moment Feng Liuyun appeared and looked at Jiang Yining with that kind of gaze, the temperature in Gu Qinghan's cold eyes plummeted to absolute freezing point!

The pure Yang sword energy surrounding him rippled wildly, even cutting tiny black cracks into the surrounding space. His slender hand gripped the hilt of the Haotian Pure Yang Sword tightly; from the excessive force, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his knuckles turned a terrifyingly cold white.

He stared intently at this extremely dangerous uninvited guest, who exuded an aura of courtship, as if he would draw his sword and chop him into mincemeat at any moment.

Feng Liuyun glanced at Gu Qinghan disdainfully and slowly shook the folding fan in her hand.

He was confident in possessing the Nirvana Flame, unique in the entire Canglan Realm, and was well aware of his irreplaceable status. A shrewd calculation flashed in his eyes.

"Island Master, let's speak frankly. No one in this world, besides my Nirvana True Fire, can forge the core array of the Interdimensional Spirit Ship." Feng Liuyun arrogantly stared directly at Jiang Yining, immediately throwing out his harsh conditions, "Those ten million star crystals are just a stepping stone. What I want is half the control over the Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterward, a terrifying killing intent flashed in the eyes of Gu Qinghan and the surrounding guards! Half the authority? This was clearly an attempt to insidiously and gradually erode control of Abandoned Star Island under the guise of weapon forging!

"Arrogant! You think you're worthy of even setting your sights on Abandoned Star Island?" Gu Qinghan could no longer contain himself, and the Haotian Pure Yang Sword was drawn half an inch from its sheath with a crisp sound.

However, this kind of rude provocation is enough to enrage any person in a superior position.

Jiang Yining not only didn't get angry, but instead smiled contemptuously.

"Half the permissions?"

Jiang Yining parted her red lips slightly. The next second, a terrifying pressure from the late-stage peak of the Profound Light Realm, capable of crushing stars, slammed directly onto Feng Liuyun like ten thousand tangible ancient divine mountains!

"boom!"

The composure on Feng Liuyun's face vanished instantly! He felt his bones crack under the immense pressure, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and the Nirvana True Fire within him was forced back into his dantian under the absolute suppression of this law, not even a spark could emerge!

Jiang Yining looked down at him arrogantly, using an attitude ten times more arrogant and unquestionable than his, firmly and completely suppressing him!

"You dare to negotiate with me? You're not worthy!" Jiang Yining's voice was like a cold winter wind. "Either you obediently do your work, take your reward, and get out of here. Or I'll personally pluck the feathers off this squalid bird, drain your true fire, and use it to light a lamp."

Cold sweat poured down Feng Liuyun's forehead; he truly felt the threat of death. This woman didn't play by the rules at all; she really dared to kill him!

Seeing that things were not going well, Feng Liuyun swallowed hard and quickly put away all his probing and ambition.

He compromised, enduring the oppressive aura, and gritted his teeth to make his final condition: "Fine... I don't want the authority. But when refining the core array eye, this level of true fire is prone to backlash, so I must... I must be alone with the island lord in a specially made secret chamber, and absolutely no third person can be present to interfere!"

Upon hearing this ambiguous and scheming condition, Gu Qinghan almost lost his temper and drew his sword.

Jiang Yining gave Feng Liuyun a meaningful look, then chuckled dismissively and casually tossed a purple-gold storage ring filled with ten million top-grade star crystals to Feng Liuyun.
