In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 385 The Bait Sent Out

That's right, making a bigger commotion was the idea Shen Xing came up with.

The solution is quite obvious here.

After all, they couldn't allow the Martial Arts Alliance to focus all their attention on this place for the time being.

Under such circumstances, there is indeed not much they can do.

"To achieve this, I'm afraid you'll have to do it yourself," Lin Chaoyang said, looking at Shen Xing.

"That's right." The others nodded in agreement. "In this situation, no one can match your appeal. After all, this group of people came specifically for you."

Shen Xing also planned to take action.

However, it can't be too obvious.

If it's obvious to others that you're shifting your gaze, it will backfire.

This is also why he convened everyone for a discussion.

There needs to be a reason that can convince the Martial Arts Alliance, so that they can truly shift their attention elsewhere.

Fortunately, it wasn't too difficult, and after everyone discussed it, a plan quickly emerged.

The core of this plan is not Shen Xing, but Ji Di, who has only recently joined them!

"Given Ji Di's personality, it's not surprising that he would cause trouble," Lin Chaoyang concluded at the end of the plan. "Moreover, he is very powerful. Although he hasn't yet reached the fourth stage of the eighth realm, with the help of the void spaceship, he won't be easy to capture. More importantly, everyone in the Martial Alliance knows that Ji Di is now one of us."

Who are "we"?

Naturally, this refers to a group of people who are even capable of stealing the Void Ship of the Martial Arts Alliance!

This is probably the most powerful new resistance alliance that has emerged recently.

Based on their current understanding of the Alliance, the Martial Arts Alliance wouldn't even consider ordinary anti-Alliance forces a threat. However, this is because most anti-Alliance forces are simply unable to effectively strike at the Martial Arts Alliance.

However, being able to steal a Level 4 Void Ship is a completely different matter.

Void spaceship technology, especially the fourth-level void spaceship, is the true trump card that allows the Martial Alliance to dominate the entire known void. Stealing void spaceships of this level has happened before, but each time it has the potential to threaten the Martial Alliance's position in the entire endless void!

It wouldn't be surprising if it even alarmed a martial artist at the fifth stage of the eighth realm.

However, Shen Xing had actually anticipated this situation.

However, this level of voidship was too important to him.

So, it's actually worth it.

"Let the Emperor go," Shen Xing finally said, directly approaching the Emperor and issuing the order.

When Ji Di heard about her mission, she was somewhat surprised, but she was not afraid. On the contrary, she was more excited and happy.

Ultimately, his initial reason for joining Shen Xing was to deal with the Martial Arts Alliance. Now that he hopes to gain Shen Xing's trust, he is filled with fighting spirit and has been looking for an opportunity to prove himself.

"It's just bait," the Emperor replied magnanimously. "You can see for yourself how I perform!"

Then, the Emperor Ji set off immediately.

He left with his daughter, his former subjects, and a third-class void spaceship given to him by Shen Xing.

Then, they carried out a frenzied raid on all the void ships of the Martial Alliance near the Menghao World!

Yes, he wanted to tell the Martial Arts Alliance that he hadn't left!

This action naturally and quickly attracted the attention of the Martial Arts Alliance.

Just as Shen Xing had guessed, the martial artist in charge of investigating this incident was a powerful being at the fifth stage of the eighth realm!

His name is Rihao.

Such an existence would be considered a true pinnacle of the martial arts alliance!

After all, the five supreme elders haven't paid attention to the development of the alliance for a very long time. They have all focused their attention on their own cultivation, wanting to reach the next level of martial arts. This is much more important than developing a force that can no longer find any enemies in the entire void.

And there were fewer than twenty ordinary fifth-stage martial artists who became the de facto leaders of the entire Martial Arts Alliance.

Each and every one of them holds an extremely high position!

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there was a fourth-level void spaceship this time, a martial artist of this level would not have personally taken action for tens of millions of years.

What Shen Xing did last time did indeed shake the entire Martial Arts Alliance.

Even though most of them didn't know what had happened, they knew the seriousness of the matter just from hearing that Rihao had taken action.

At this moment, Rihao also received information about Ji Di appearing near the Menghao World.

Rihao looked extremely old, as if he were about to die. He was nothing like the imposing presence of his name, and everyone could sense an aura of impending death emanating from him.

Perhaps he hasn't reached the limits of life, but this also means that his mental age has reached its limit.

Such a person will begin to lose all emotions and all pursuits, gradually losing interest in everything, and will want to end their life every day. Even if they cannot do it, they will think about finding a place to fall into eternal sleep.

However, even so, no one dared to show the slightest contempt, because everyone was extremely cautious and even extremely careful.

Because, more than ten million years ago, Rihao already looked like this.

Within the Martial Arts Alliance, there is one thing that everyone agrees on: never apply your own understanding to the fifth stage of the Eighth Realm.

Especially those martial artists who have already entered the fifth stage of the eighth realm over many years.

People like these, whether they are the five supreme elders or ordinary fifth-stage elders, have devoted their long time and all their energy to finding the next realm. Under such circumstances, no one knows what kind of path they have found or what level they have reached.

Even if one only touches upon the slightest aspect, takes a tiny step beyond the average eighth-realm martial artist, or even takes a tiny step down the wrong path, the consequences can be terrifying.

In this situation, every martial artist at the fifth stage of the eighth realm is synonymous with "terrifying".

After a moment of silence, a hoarse voice, sounding like bones grinding together, came out.

"Those who are ignorant will never know fear; go and seize it."

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

Rihao didn't specify who or how many people would go, so the meaning was quite clear.

Everyone go!

This time, the Martial Arts Alliance sent a full twenty eighth-realm fourth-stage martial artists, and six fourth-level void spaceships alone!

They haven't sent out an operation of this scale for at least tens of millions of years. The last time was to deal with a truly great world!

It's like the big world that was the predecessor of the Martial Arts League.

A world with more than 10,000 eighth-realm beings is a world where both the spiritual energy and the martial arts are extremely prosperous!

"To be able to fall at the scale of this, that so-called Emperor Ji must have something to be proud of," a martial artist at the fourth stage of the eighth realm laughed along the way. "Hopefully, he can bring us some amusement."

"Don't be careless." Another voice came from the same spaceship, belonging to a martial artist at the fourth stage of the eighth realm. "This is an order from Lord Rihao. No matter how simple or easy it is, you must complete it with all your might!"

"That's right!" The first person to speak didn't seem to care, and even seemed somewhat dismissive, but his expression was quite serious.

Even within a powerful force like the Martial Arts Alliance, and even among martial artists of this caliber, as long as a significant disparity in status exists between individuals, this kind of flattery and sycophancy will never disappear.

At this moment, the Ji Emperor did indeed feel the pressure.

"Have these warriors from the Martial Alliance gone mad?" Ji Di was currently piloting the void spaceship with all her might, frantically fleeing through the endless spatial turbulence in the void.

When he first received this mission, although he knew it was somewhat dangerous, he wasn't actually that concerned about it.

Ultimately, the void is simply too vast.

Even if someone is extremely powerful, what can they do?

Back in the Menghao World, they didn't even have a single void spaceship. They could simply slip into any of the surrounding small worlds, and no matter how powerful the Martial Alliance was, they still couldn't find them!

However, the current Ji Emperor knows.

It's not that we can't find them, it's just a matter of whether we want to find them!

That's how it is now.

The number of warriors and void ships surrounding and searching for them far exceeded expectations!

Even if you fly off in any direction, you will inevitably collide with a void spaceship within a year or two!

Moreover, most of them are powerful, at least at the third stage of the eighth realm!

It felt as if it had completely enveloped this void!

That's why the Empress said, "Has the Martial Arts Alliance gone mad?"

You must understand that the void does not have the same spatial laws as the world. Its space is constantly superimposed, like a garden full of flowers. But every petal, or even every grain of dust, is a world, a space!

Ji Di simply couldn't imagine how many warriors and how many void ships would be needed to achieve this level of encirclement and suppression!

Even if only one-tenth of this quantity is used, no, it might even be only one-hundredth, it would be enough to sweep through his Meng Hao World!

Ji Di finally realized just how important the void spaceship that Shen Xing had taken away was to the Martial Alliance!

He understood even more clearly just how terrifying the Martial Arts Alliance was!

Even if there are no martial artists at the ninth realm, even if they only have the size, such a size can still bring immense despair!

"This won't do!" Yingying said anxiously from the side. "Recently, more and more void ships have successfully surrounded us, and the martial artists are getting stronger. Our ship does have an advantage, but it's clear that the Martial Alliance has successfully narrowed the encirclement!"

Yes, if things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before they get caught.

Like a caged bird, no matter how much it struggles, it will always remain in the cage!

Even as bait, it's not done this way.

Ji Di did not believe that if he were captured under these circumstances, he would still have a chance to join the Martial Arts Alliance—the number of martial artists who had reached the third stage of the eighth realm they had sent out was already countless!

In this situation, what he gave has far exceeded his own value!

"Never mind! Just stall for time!" That was all the Emperor Ji could say in the end.

He had no choice but to take a gamble.

Moreover, in his view, the chances of winning the bet are actually quite high.

To put it bluntly, the scale of the formation sent out by the Martial Arts Alliance was not aimed at a mere eighth-realm third-stage martial artist like him, even if he had reached the fourth stage.

This formation is aimed at Shen Xing.

And that person is absolutely qualified. In fact, in Ji Di's opinion, this level is not even worthy of that young warrior who is destined to shake the entire void.

So, let's take a gamble!

However, Ji Di was unaware that this was not a gamble; he had actually won from the very beginning.

Because Shen Xing stayed on his spaceship the whole time.

At least the coordinates are here.

After all, it wouldn't be easy for Shen Xing to quickly find a void spaceship that was fleeing in a panic. Since the bait had been thrown out, the hook or cage would have to follow quickly as well.

"It'll be quick!" Shen Xing concealed himself and watched the Ji Emperor's frantic escape with unhurried speed.

He was waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity that is both shocking and impactful!

And this opportunity came very soon!

As Ji Di and the others knew, the Martial Alliance had surrounded them layer by layer and was constantly tightening the encirclement.

The probability of those six relatively rare Tier 4 void ships colliding with the Ji Emperor has also greatly increased.

This was exactly the opportunity Shen Xing had been waiting for.

Until a certain moment.

An indescribable surge of primal energy completely enveloped the entire void spaceship of the Ji Emperor! It even easily imprisoned all the primal energy on the spaceship, rendering it unable to move.

The Emperor Ji also showed a slightly relieved expression.

That's right, he was captured by a Level 4 void ship.

Facing an ordinary third-level void ship, they could indeed escape thanks to the superior performance of their void ship. However, the fourth level was far beyond the capabilities of other void ships.

Needless to say, there are at least three powerful martial artists above!
