The intelligence is incorrect! The other side's domain is not a newly upgraded large domain. How could it be newly upgraded if it has Moon Jade-level domains?

The elderly woman Qin Yuandai couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.

Among the few large domains in this star system, she had interactions with all of them. After all, everyone ventures into stellar space, and it's inevitable to have some connections. But what is the situation with this domain? Being in the same star system and yet never heard of it before.

In the stellar space, there are countless domains. If it's just a small domain, it isn't easy to be discovered because, from stellar space, a small domain is just a celestial body, and looking at the stellar space, such celestial bodies are countless. Even if a cultivator passes by nearby, they might not delve deeply.

But if a domain is elevated to a large domain, then Constellation-level cultivators will start exploring the stellar space, naturally having encounters with Constellation-level cultivators from other domains.

It can be said that after Nine Provinces upgraded to a large domain, it's only a matter of time before they intersect with other domain cultivators unless there are no other large domains in this star system.

Suppressing the confusion in her heart, Qin Yuandai discovered another particularly strange thing. Although the other side has a sizable number of Moon Jade cultivators, four in total, they are all at the Moon Jade Early Stage.

Thang Yifeng and others are certainly not at the Moon Jade Early Stage; they are merely at the Constellation Early Stage.

The reason they could manifest Moon Jade's might at this moment is entirely due to the Pseudo-Might Spirit Runes that Lu Ye had constructed on them in advance.

These spirit runes have no other purpose but posturing, and Lu Ye seldom uses them, having only used them once before, and that was for Yiyi and Amber.

The Pseudo-Might Spirit Runes have their limits. Take Thang Yifeng and others, for example; with a foundation of Constellation Early Stage, they can only disguise themselves as Moon Jade Early Stage at most, not simulate Sun Blaze might.

That's why, in Qin Yuandai's view, there appears to be a peculiar lineup of four Moon Jade Early Stage cultivators.

The choice of Thang Yifeng and the others was naturally because they had never faced Zhao Tianmu before. Others wouldn't know their details, and having too few people wouldn't work, while too many would be suspicious. Four people, no more, no less, just right to make a Moon Jade Mid-Stage cultivator wary.

Lu Ye originally planned to activate the Pseudo-Might Spirit Runes himself, but considering some possible future actions, he refrained.

As expected, when Thang Yifeng and the others simultaneously activated the might of Moon Jade, there was an obvious moment of confusion on Qin Yuandai's part.

But soon, she returned to normal, leading the Constellation-level cultivators behind her to approach slowly. She, too, had seen some storms and wouldn't be deterred by the current situation.

Moreover, she had another Moon Jade-level cultivator behind her! At this point, she couldn't help but be thankful that the old man followed, otherwise, it would have been difficult to accomplish anything with her strength alone.

Her original plan was simple. In the face of absolute power, just act directly; she thought a group of Constellation Early Stage cultivators wouldn't be able to resist.

But since the other side has Moon Jade, she had to think more carefully.

That's just the force the other side has openly shown. Who knows if they have something hidden?

When acting in stellar space, any oversight or carelessness is unacceptable.

Stopping about 30 miles away from the Nine Provinces group, Qin Yuandai stopped. This distance is already on the alert line for Moon Jade-level cultivators, and going further wouldn't be safe.

She was still deliberating on how to question them when a Moon Jade Early Stage cultivator on the opposite side took a step forward, clasped his hands from afar, and shouted: "When friends come from afar, our Unparalleled Continent is honored. I dare ask Fellow Daoist where you come from and how you are addressed?"

The speaker was Thang Yifeng, taking on the calm demeanor of a Moon Jade-level cultivator. Although he had been informed of the old woman's name through Lu Ye's audio transmission, he feigned ignorance and constantly activated the Pseudo-Might Spirit Runes to maintain Moon Jade-level prestige, secretly laboring.

The other party's demeanor made Qin Yuandai even more unsure of the depth of this Unparalleled Continent. With a light tap of her cane forward, she reported her name: "Qingli Dao World, Qin Yuandai!"

Thang Yifeng pondered briefly and then showed a look of realization: "Ah, so it's Fellow Daoist Qin from Qingdai Mountain. I've long heard of your illustrious name!"

Qingdai Mountain was the sect founded by Qin Yuandai long ago and had been passed down for thousands of years.

Lu Ye had probed Sun Ying's psyche; such information was naturally known.

Thang Yifeng directly revealing Qin Yuandai's origin undoubtedly caused the other party some surprise: "This Fellow Daoist has heard of this old woman?"

Thang Yifeng faintly smiled: "Naturally, I've heard of you. I've always wanted to visit Qingli Dao World to meet Fellow Daoists Qin, Tang, and Wu, but regrettably, I've never had the time. Nonetheless, please forgive me for having you make the journey yourself!"

He spoke as if it were true, making Qin Yuandai even more uncertain. Interactions between domains are most wary of situations where others know your background while you know nothing about your opponents.

Because the more others know, the more it suggests that there are powerful figures holding the fort on their side.

Of course, it could also be the intelligence leaked by her offspring, because according to Zhao Tianmu, when he escaped from here, her offspring Sun Ying was still alive.

With a change in her mind, Qin Yuandai said lightly: "It seems your domain intends to establish relations with my Qingli Dao World?"

Thang Yifeng appeared as elegant as ever and replied with a smile: "Under the same starry sky, our two domains are not far apart, we should engage more often!"

Qin Yuandai snorted coldly, her cane struck forward into the Void: "But it seems your domain's hospitality is lacking! Why were several disciples of the sect headquarters killed upon arrival?"

She felt somewhat annoyed, the situation was completely different from what she had anticipated. She thought that her personal visit would easily control this domain, but unexpectedly, four Moon Jade cultivators suddenly appeared, knowing Qingli Dao World inside out. This made her cautious, and she dared not act rashly before understanding the true situation of the opponent's domain.

Her words had just fallen when a rebellious voice rang out: "They came here to kill my Unparalleled cultivators, what's wrong with me killing them? Since ancient times, debts must be repaid, killing demands revenge, it's perfectly justified!"

Behind Thang Yifeng and others, a group of Constellation cultivators appeared solemn-faced, feeling amused. The Lu Ye they remembered was very steady in action; they had never seen him act so outrageously before, especially the rebellious voice sounded quite fresh.

Qin Yuandai instantly locked her gaze on the clamoring Lu Ye, a murderous intent flashing in her eyes, she said sternly: "Is he the Li Taibai you're talking about? The one who did the killing?"

"He is Li Taibai! How the disciples Chen and Wang died is unclear, I did not witness it, but this person is very powerful, if he killed them, it is possible, and in the end, Sun Ying ended up at his hands." Behind Qin Yuandai, Zhao Tianmu rushed forward to report softly.

"Incompetent fool!" Qin Yuandai reprimanded, a Constellation Late Stage, defeated by an Early Stage, truly unheard of.

Zhao Tianmu backed down, full of grievances.

From across, as Lu Ye's shouting voice rose, Thang Yifeng turned and scolded: "Shut up! When adults are talking, where is the place for a child to intervene!"

Lu Ye hugged his Boulder Mountain Saber in his arms, nostrils flared skyward: "I speak the truth, they killed countless of us, and I have killed only three. That's considered few! I say, stop wasting words, kill them now, wipe them out completely, avenge our fallen comrades!"

"You rebellious disciple! Shut up!" Thang Yifeng's fury was overwhelming, Lu Ye shrank his neck slightly, but was full of defiance.

Turning his head, Thang Yifeng looked at Qin Yuandai and chuckled: "My disciple is young and impulsive, speaks carelessly, I ask Fellow Daoist not to take offense."

Qin Yuandai said lightly: "Youthful impulse is good, who hasn't been young?"

Thang Yifeng nodded in agreement, his tone shifted: "But Fellow Daoist Qin, speaking of this matter, it was indeed initiated by your domain's Constellation cultivators. One of my Unparalleled Constellations first encountered pursuit near this close space by two of your domain's Constellations, and within our domain, numerous True Lake-Divine Sea fell victim to your domain's Constellations' methods. Really addressing these issues, the fault lies with your domain."

These words made Qin Yuandai unable to rebut, as she had already understood the cause and process of the affair from Zhao Tianmu and knew it indeed was as Thang Yifeng described.

Now hearing the other side speak in this way, the situation became somewhat awkward!

One cannot come in a fury, then retreat humbly; otherwise how will she preserve her dignity in the future?

After a brief consideration, she asked: "Then according to Fellow Daoist's view, how should this matter be resolved?"

Thang Yifeng replied: "Both sides have suffered losses, but as the saying goes, when will revenge end, one more enemy is not as good as one more friend. With us under the same starry sky, future encounters are inevitable, if too much conflict arises, it benefits no one. My idea is, let this matter end here, with us reconciling swords into silk, how about it?"

Once his words fell, before Qin Yuandai could speak, Lu Ye shouted again: "No way, no way! They came with four, only three died! Unless the one who escaped also gets chopped to death, otherwise things will end in mutual destruction, and no one will have peace!"

Thang Yifeng was visibly angry: "This is not a place for you to speak, stand down!"

Lu Ye puffed up his cheeks, glaring viciously at Zhao Tianmu standing behind Qin Yuandai, with a look as if wanting to devour him, but due to Thang Yifeng's reprimand, he clearly dared not speak bit recklessly.

Qin Yuandai hesitated; today's situation was already unlikely to force one's will. Rarely the opposite side intended to turn swords into silk, her side might as well go along.

Just as Thang Yifeng said, under the same starry sky, future interactions are inevitable. If thoroughly hostile, it benefits neither side.

While pondering, the annoying young man suddenly yelled again: "Old witch! So that woman named Sun Ying said she's your offspring? She extracted the psyche of my Unparalleled cultivators, so I extracted hers too, tormenting her fiercely, she died horribly!" While speaking, Lu Ye revealed a ferocious smile, looking like a true fiend.

Qin Yuandai's eyes narrowed, murderous intent surged.

Thang Yifeng's fury erupted, with a backhanded palm striking Lu Ye's chest: "Rebellious disciple, do you see me, your master, in your eyes?"

Lu Ye spurted blood, his figure retreating explosively over about 30 miles, only then barely stabilizing, his breath faltering.
