With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

Without the spirit ship, although the Nine Nether Devouring Python was not slow, it still took Qin Yi and Bai Jing more than three hours to reach the Starry Sky Palace's stronghold in the desolate sea.

Fortunately, probably because the Starry Sky Palace's stronghold was located here, this sea area was relatively calm, and Qin Yi and his group had a smooth journey without encountering any danger.

The Nine Netherworld Devouring Python landed on a small island.

At this moment, a group of martial artists wearing robes embroidered with star patterns rushed over from the island.

Bai Jing, who had already woken up, was about to take out the token of the Bai family members and then state her identity to avoid any misunderstandings.

"Qin Yi?"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group called out Qin Yi's name.

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and he said, "It is indeed me. Senior, do you know me?"

A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face as he said, "Of course I know you. Now, many people know you."

"Because, two hours ago, Deacon Tian had your portrait distributed and sent many people to look for you."

"I never expected you to come here."

"I'm glad you're alright."

"Come with me and settle down here first. I'll have someone inform Steward Tian."

The steward he mentioned was Tian Bugui.

Tian Bugui represented the Starry Sky Palace and went to the Desolate Ancient Continent, so he was called an envoy.

However, in the Starry Sky Palace, Tian Bugui is a high-ranking steward.

The staff of the Starry Sky Palace are divided into disciples, stewards, protectors, and elders.

Each level is further divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

Qin Yi and Bai Jing followed the middle-aged man into a courtyard built by the Starry Sky Palace on the island, waiting for Tian Bugui to come and pick them up.

Qin Yi also learned that Tian Bugui seemed to have suffered serious injuries, but he had successfully killed the old demonic cultivator at the Star-Picking Realm.

This middle-aged man, named Hu Quan, was a third-level Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator and a squad leader in the Star Navy Legion.

Under the Starry Sky Palace are many family forces, which are equivalent to branches of the Starry Sky Palace.

Numerous branches, intricately intertwined.

In addition, there are two other legions.

One is a star-air force that is renowned throughout the desolate heavens.

The Star Navy Legion was established a century ago when the Star Palace entered the Desolate Sea to compete with various forces for sea areas and resources.

"Miss Bai, Young Master Qin, please rest here for now. I have already arranged for someone to send word that Steward Tian should arrive soon," Hu Quan said.

He was very polite to both Bai Jing and Qin Yi.

Despite being a squad leader in the Star Navy Legion, he is already quite old and only at the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

His path of martial arts has reached its end, and it is highly unlikely that he will ever reach the Heavenly Realm in this lifetime.

Bai Jing is a direct descendant of the Bai family.

Qin Yi is the number one prodigy among the new recruits this year, with a bright future ahead.

Hu Quan certainly dared not be negligent.

Bai Jing nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Hu."

Hu Quan said, "It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

After Hu Quan left the courtyard.

Bai Jing said to Qin Yi, "Fourth brother, there are many people like Hu Quan in the Starry Sky Palace. Although he is a small captain in the Starry Sea Legion, in reality, he will probably never have the chance to step into the Starry Sky Palace headquarters again in his life."

"And you, me, and all the newcomers to the Starry Sky Palace, if we don't have much potential for development, will be assigned to other places."

"Only by demonstrating sufficient potential can one remain at the Starry Sky Palace headquarters and have access to the best cultivation environment and resources."

Qin Yi hummed in agreement.

He understands this approach.

As a behemoth as the Starry Sky Palace, if it wants to maintain its position and competitiveness in the Desolate Heaven Domain, it certainly won't cultivate useless individuals.

Only by allocating resources to those with potential, allowing those geniuses to quickly transform their potential into strength, can the Starry Sky Palace prosper in the long run.

Otherwise, they will be overtaken by other forces and eventually eliminated by them.

The law of the jungle prevails; the strong are respected!

Next, Bai Jing went inside to heal her injuries.

Qin Yi, on the other hand, was practicing basic sword techniques in the courtyard.

Anyway, I'm just idling around.

We shouldn't waste this precious time.

Sweating a little more and swinging your sword a few more times may not seem like much improvement, but even a little improvement is still improvement. Perhaps, at some crucial moments, it is just a small detail that can determine victory or defeat, life or death.

Moreover, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and a great river is formed from countless small streams.

Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground.

He has come to a profound understanding of this principle!

Before he knew it, half an hour had passed in Qin Yi's courtyard as he practiced swordsmanship.

suddenly.

A violent aura suddenly shattered the courtyard gate.

The force that shattered the courtyard gate swept towards Qin Yi.

Qin Yi's eyes flashed, and he swept his sword out, instantly shattering the force that swept towards him!

Bai Jing rushed out immediately and stood next to Qin Yi. Although she was seriously injured, she immediately drew her long sword, looking ready for battle.

Immediately afterwards, an arrogant young man, accompanied by two guards, entered the courtyard.

The young man sized up Qin Yi and Bai Jing, and finally his gaze settled on Qin Yi. His eyes turned cold, as if a chilling aura emanated from them, and he said, "I am a member of the Star Navy Enforcement Team. You had better come with me obediently and accept the interrogation."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Qin Yi's expression was icy as he said, "I haven't done anything wrong, and the enforcement team can't interrogate anyone without reason, can they?"

He sensed intense hostility emanating from this guy.

The young man scoffed and said, "It's absurd that you were chased by a group of powerful demonic cultivators but managed to escape alive. I suspect that this was a staged ruse by you and the demonic cultivators."

"I must investigate this thoroughly!"

"Is this reason acceptable?"

"Young Master Li, please calm down!" Just then, Hu Quan arrived with his men.

He stepped in front of Qin Yi, cupped his hands in greeting to the young man who claimed to be from the Star Navy Legion's enforcement team, and said, "Young Master Li, this is inappropriate..."

Qin Yi heard this title.

He immediately understood why this guy was so hostile towards him.

So his surname is Li!

In the Valley of Heartbreak on the desolate ancient continent, the guy who was possessed by the Soul Demon also had the surname Li and was named Li Feng.

The Li family, to which Li Feng belongs, is quite powerful, even stronger than the Bai family, to which Bai Jing belongs. It ranks more than two hundredth among the thousand families under the Starry Sky Palace.

The man surnamed Li smirked, a chilling smile playing on his lips. He looked at Hu Quan with disdain and said, "Who do you think you are? You dare to obstruct my business? What right do you have to say my actions are inappropriate?"

"Hu Quan, get out of my way!"

"I don't have the patience to waste time with you!"

Hu Quan fell silent, lowered his head, and stepped aside.

He had been very polite and respectful to Bai Jing and Qin Yi before.

He couldn't afford to offend this young master of the Li family.

The Li family wields considerable influence within the Xinghai Navy.

If he offends the young master of the Li family, many people will vie to deal with him in order to curry favor with the young master, without even the young master needing to say a word.

Hu Quan stepped aside.

The young master of the Li family sneered and said, "Useless trash, I'll spare you this time. But think carefully before you speak or act in the future!"

"Take your men and get out of here right now!"

Hu Quan lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then waved his hand, leading his men out of the courtyard.

The young master of the Li family looked at Qin Yi, his face revealing a smug expression that he had everything under his control!
