Just as the transfer array arrived at the Suzaku Star Realm, Jin Nu suddenly said to Ling Dong, "My Lord, the matter is like this. I'm the Alkaid Star Monarch from the Central Town Star System, but I can't appear in the Suzaku Star System openly. Otherwise, it will cause a big misunderstanding and lead to big trouble."
"This …" Hearing this, Ling Dong frowned. "They might not be able to find out, right? Moreover, didn't you come to the Suzaku Star System before? "
"My Lord, everything was normal in the Suzaku Star System before, so they were very relaxed about this situation. Moreover, this subordinate hid under a fake name and was very careful. However, the Suzaku Star System is in chaos right now. If a star monarch from the Central Town Star System is discovered, it will definitely cause a huge uproar! "
After pausing for a moment, Jin Nu continued, "Of course, as long as I don't meet the higher-ups of the Suzaku Star System, especially the star monarchs of the Suzaku Star System, they won't be able to sense my aura. However, if I'm discovered, it will cause a big misunderstanding! "
After pondering for a moment, Ling Dong decided. "That's fine. You can cultivate in the Myriad Stars House. Moreover, your cultivation is a bit too eye-catching. If I bring you out, it might attract too much attention."
Jin Nu added, "However, if My Lord needs this subordinate to act, just call this subordinate out."
As Ling Dong nodded, he saw that the light shield of the teleportation formation was beginning to fade. With a thought, he moved Bai Bai Xuan, Gui Qianshan and Gao Yuan out of the Residence of Ten Thousand Stars.
Now that they had arrived at the Suzaku Star System, Ling Dong was alone, so it wasn't easy for him to act. It would be much more convenient to bring a few people with him. Whether it was Bai Bai Xuan or Gui Qianshan, Zhou Tianshen's mid stage cultivation wasn't eye-catching. Instead, they all had extremely abnormal combat strength.
Originally, Ling Dong had planned to act in a high-profile manner in the Vermillion Bird Star System. After all, the dozen or so Zhou Tianshen Envoys in the Myriad Stars House were the source of his confidence.
However, ever since Ling Dong, Jin Nu, and Jin Chen came to the conclusion that the current Vermilion Bird Star System was a chaotic maelstrom, and that it might even drag in all nine star systems.
Back then, the Star Demon had been encircled and annihilated by various forces and Ling Dong's current power was far inferior to the Star Demon's. Ling Dong didn't want to be besieged again in this chaotic Vermillion Bird Star Domain and follow the path of the Star Demon.
Thus, Ling Dong decided that it was best to keep a low profile as much as possible. The Vermillion Bird Star Realm, where the forces of the nine star systems were gathered, was no laughing matter.
When Bai Bai Xuan, Gui Qianshan, and Gao Yuan, who had been summoned by Ling Dong from the Myriad Stars House, stood still, the brilliance of the small astral transfer array immediately dimmed, and the brilliance of the barrier also completely disappeared.
Feeling the familiar and abundant fire elements, Ling Dong's expression involuntarily revealed a trace of comfort. The feeling of returning to his homeland was really good.
Although the Vermilion Bird Star System wasn't Ling Dong's real hometown, setting foot on the Vermilion Bird Star System gave Ling Dong a sense of security, as if he had set foot on his homeland.
Only Gui Qianshan uncomfortably withdrew the water vapor on his body. The abundant fire element energy of heaven and earth in the Vermilion Bird Star System made him instinctively feel a trace of discomfort.
"Who is it? Where did you come from?" However, a sharp shout made Ling Dong uncomfortable.
Not far away, four cultivators wearing Vermilion Bird battle robes were staring at them with vigilance. Especially when their gazes swept past Bai Bai Xuan and Gui Qianshan, they were filled with uneasiness. Further away, two cultivators wearing Vermilion Bird battle robes stared at Ling Dong's group of four with vigilance.
It was as if they were guarding against Ling Dong's group and could warn them at any time. Looking at the six cultivators before him, Ling Dong felt a very tense atmosphere. From this, it could be seen that the situation in the Suzaku Nebula was very tense. Otherwise, the six cultivators before him wouldn't be so nervous.
Moreover, Ling Dong didn't expect that such a remote small astral transfer array would have people guarding it. It could be imagined how bad the situation was.
"I'm Ling Dong, a cultivator from the Wood Silk Realm who was cultivating in the outside world. I'm also an elite cultivator of the Vermilion Bird Star System. After receiving the Vermilion Bird Star System's order to assemble, I returned to the Vermilion Bird Star System," Ling Dong said bluntly.
With the current tense atmosphere in the Vermilion Bird Star System, Ling Dong felt that it was better to be careful and not cause any accidents.
"You're an elite cultivator of the Vermilion Bird Star System?" After hearing Ling Dong say his name, the leading cultivator in the Vermilion Bird battle robe relaxed. His eyes were filled with joy and the vigilance in his eyes lessened a lot.
The top 36 participants of the Vermilion Bird Star System's Millennium Elite Battle were all called Vermilion Bird Star System's Elite Cultivators. This was an honorary title and a rare permanent title in the Vermilion Bird Star System. Only 36 people were selected every 1,000 years, and not many of them survived. Ling Dong had obtained this honor before, which was why he was called Vermilion Bird Star System's Elite Cultivator.
"That's right, Ling Dong from the Wood Puppet Star System. All of this is recorded in the Vermilion Bird Star System," Ling Dong said in a clear voice.
The cultivator's expression relaxed and he waved his hand. "It's fine. The cultivators of our Vermilion Bird Star System have returned. By the way, who are these people? "The leading cultivator looked at the three people beside Ling Dong.
"Oh, this is my senior brother. These two are my family's guards." Ling Dong pointed at Bai Bai Xuan, Gui Qianshan, and Gao Yuan.
"Good. Since you are here because of the Vermilion Bird Star System's order, then follow him to the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion to register and receive the Vermilion Bird Token!" The captain pointed at a cultivator with a relaxed expression.
"Wait!" Just as Ling Dong was about to cup his hands in thanks, one of the ancient martial art practitioners beside the leader stopped him with a serious expression, "Leader Wang, this is against the rules right?"
The captain called Captain Wang frowned and said in a bad mood, "Li Ba, what do you mean? What's wrong with this? "
"Captain Wang, can you see the cultivation of the cultivators with the surname Bai and Gui beside him?" Li Ba, who was questioned, calmly pointed at Bai Bai Xuan and Gui Qianshan beside Ling Dong.
Captain Wang was startled for a moment before shaking his head. "So what? When have you ever seen someone pretend to be an elite cultivator of the Vermilion Bird Star System? "
"Captain Wang, have you forgotten the order that was passed down more than a decade ago? If any of the cultivators who return from the small astral realm's teleportation formation have reached the cultivation of Zhou Tianshen, then we must immediately inform Vice Commander Wei. "
Li Ba paused for a moment before he continued, "Given our cultivation base, we can at most see the cultivation base of a half-step Heavenly Cycle Righteous God. However, we cannot see through the cultivation base of the two before us. It is very likely that the two of them are Heavenly Cycle Divine Emissaries. Captain Wang, if we don't report, wouldn't we be breaking the rules? "
"Hmph, is it different when we go to the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's mansion to get the Vermilion Bird Token?" Captain Wang was dissatisfied with being contradicted by a subordinate.
"But if Vice Commander Wei blames us, will you take responsibility?" Li Ba's words caused Captain Wang's expression to change. Captain Wang had no choice but to cup his hands and say to Ling Dong, "Brother Ling, please wait a moment. There are still some matters to take care of."
While speaking, Captain Wang sent out a talisman. Ling Dong and the others looked at each other in dismay. Hearing these people's words, Ling Dong suddenly felt that the situation in the Vermilion Bird Star System was more serious than he had imagined!
Ling Dong and the others only waited for a few breaths of time before a talisman flew into Captain Wang's hand. Captain Wang glanced at it and smiled at Ling Dong. "Everyone, Vice Commander Wei has sent a message. According to the rules, I need to take you all to Vice Commander Wei's patrol camp to verify your identities. Then you will be registered and issued a pass. "
After pausing for a moment, Captain Wang explained to Ling Dong and the others, "Everyone, please don't mind. The Vermilion Bird Star System has been a bit unstable these past few years, so security is a bit important. However, once this is done, there won't be any more problems."
"No problem." Ling Dong smiled.
"Heh, since we have nothing to do, I'll personally take you all to Vice Commander Wei's place. After all, it's rare to see a single person come through this small star transfer array that we are guarding." With a sigh, Captain Wang picked half of the cultivators present, including Li Ba, to follow him to the so-called patrol camp.
While leading the way, Captain Wang smiled and said, "Brother Ling, if we really want to talk about it, we can be considered comrades."
"Comrades?" Ling Dong was a bit stunned.
"That's right. Back then, I almost obtained the title of Vermilion Bird Star System's elite cultivator." Before Ling Dong could reveal a surprised expression, Captain Wang added.
Ling Dong was pleasantly surprised, and this Captain Wang was also very talkative. Ling Dong roughly learned that Captain Wang had participated in the Vermilion Bird Star System's Millennium Elite Competition in the previous year. His battle record was quite good, but he wasn't selected as one of the thirty-six participants. Later on, he slowly cultivated and became a captain in the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion. He was a captain with real power.
After chatting for a while, Ling Dong and Captain Wang became familiar with each other. Ling Dong casually asked, "Captain Wang, you just said that it's rare to see a single person come through this small star transfer array. Could it be that no one has returned in these past few years?"
"Hah, some of the large star transfer arrays that others are familiar with have been sealed by the enemy. Only these small star transfer arrays in remote areas are still usable. A few years ago, it was still usable, but in these past few years, not a single person has been seen. Let me calculate. It's been about sixteen years, no, it should be seventeen years since anyone has returned to the Vermilion Bird Star System through this small star transfer array.
I've been here for seventeen years and have sent out several requests for transfer, but the higher-ups attach great importance to this place and have ordered me to strictly — "
"Captain Wang, pay attention. According to military law, you are already leaking information! "Just as Ling Dong was chatting enthusiastically with Captain Wang, Li Ba suddenly sternly reprimanded him.
This merciless and stern reprimand made Captain Wang furious. "Li Ba, who do you think you are! I've served here for hundreds of years. Do I need you, who has only been in the army for a dozen years, to remind me of military law? "
