Next, Yun Lan shifted her gaze away from Chu Xuan and quickly recounted the current situation on Holy Fla Star.
It turned out that the first group of Heaven Shaking Divine Sect cultivators had already arrived a month ago. With the aid of an insider within the Red Fla Pavilion, they had swiftly seized a piece of land while the star's protective array was still inactive. In the blink of an eye, they had established their foothold.
The Red Fla Pavilion, not one to back down, imdiately launched a counterattack. The two sides had been locked in a stalemate ever since. Only now did Yun Lan and her group require reinforcents.
"Fellow Daoists, please follow ," Yun Lan said, smiling warmly. "Rest for a day, and we will join the battle on the morrow."
Her smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, bringing a sense of ease to Tian Mosen, Zhang Jinzhou, Wei Ji, and the others.
Chu Xuan and Shang Xingchen exchanged a glance, but said nothing. Both could see that Yun Lan was certainly a cultivator of charm arts—and a highly skilled one at that. Even without using Spiritual Qi, her every smile and frown had an enchanting effect. If she were to use Spiritual Qi and cast spells, she could likely sway the hearts and minds of others. They would need to be cautious and wary of her.
That evening, the welcoming banquet was held as scheduled. At the banquet, Yun Lan took the opportunity to explain in detail the situation of Holy Fla Star, covering every aspect, no matter how small.
The one concern that had weighed most heavily on Chu Xuan was also addressed. He had feared that a Deity Transformation cultivator might be present on Holy Fla Star. Even if there were nurous Nascent Soul cultivators, they would be no match for a single Deity Transformation cultivator.
However, Yun Lan reassured them, saying that the Deity Transformation master guarding Holy Fla Star, the "Blazing Fire True Master" from the Red Fla Pavilion, had been driven back by the Blood Wine True Master.
The two had fought fiercely in the starry skies and were not currently on Holy Fla Star. This ant that the Nascent Soul cultivators could now act freely, without fear.
In order to preserve their heritage, protect their treasures, and save the billions of mortals on this star who had been corrupted by the Red Fla Pavilion, they must act in the na of justice!
...
The battle was far easier than expected.
The Red Fla Pavilion cultivators had anticipated reinforcents, but they had never imagined that these reinforcents would be so terrifyingly strong! These Golden Core cultivators from the Heavenly Infinite Sect were each adept in the arts of corpse cultivation and spirit manipulation.
So of the particularly powerful ones had even dabbled in poison techniques and curse arts. Each of them seed to have stepped out from the very depths of a blood-soaked battlefield. Their cultivation was profound, their Spiritual Qi rich, their experience vast, and their battle techniques fierce. They were full of hidden cards!
A single Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Infinite Sect could easily handle two Golden Core cultivators from the Red Fla Pavilion of the sa rank, not only without fear but even gaining the upper hand! Not to ntion the Red Fla Pavilion cultivators, even Tian Mosen, Zhang Jinzhou, and Yun Lan, the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect cultivators, were utterly stunned.
It felt as though they had let a pack of hungry wolves loose in a herd of sheep. Even the Golden Core cultivators of the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect had never displayed such ferocity!

Heavenly Infinite Sect had been on Holy Fla Star for less than a year, yet they had already occupied three-quarters of the planet's surface. In these territories, only a handful of Red Fla Pavilion cultivators still resisted, but their days were numbered, and they would soon be eliminated.
The remaining groups of Red Fla Pavilion cultivators had been pushed to a remote, isolated continent, where they clung to life in a desperate struggle. It could be said that within three months at most, the sect would succeed in completely conquering Holy Fla Star.
One day, Chu Xuan and the others hovered in mid-air, gazing at the distant lands below. The battle reports submitted by the soldiers had already been compiled and were now in the hands of the Nascent Soul cultivators.
Yun Lan marveled, "Fellow Daoist Chu, your sect's Golden Core cultivators have taken another city. Now, except for that one landmass, there are no more remaining Red Fla Pavilion cultivators to resist."
Tian Mosen couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Chu, how does the Heavenly Infinite Sect cultivate these disciples? Could you perhaps impart a few lessons?"
Chu Xuan smiled and nodded. "It's simple."
He briefly explained the sect's new regulations.
Yun Lan, Tian Mosen, and Zhang Jinzhou were left speechless.
No wonder the Heavenly Infinite Sect cultivators were so ferocious—they had been forced to this level! Had they joined the Heavenly Infinite Sect, surrounded constantly by the ominous atmosphere of the Corpses Valley and the Ghosts Abyss, they would have had no choice but to push themselves to the limit in their cultivation. There would be no room for complacency.
Wei Ji, flipping through the battle reports, suddenly spoke, "Fellow Daoists, the star-protecting array of Holy Fla Star is now under our control. I suggest we activate the array now, to prevent other sects like the Exquisite Treasures Alliance or Great Joy Temple from coming in to seize a piece of the pie."
Holy Fla Star was quite close to the territory of the Exquisite Treasures Alliance. The news of the Reincarnation Sect being demoted to a Tier 5 sect in the cultivation world could hardly have gone unnoticed.
In Chu Xuan's view, the Exquisite Treasures Alliance was indeed highly likely to take advantage of this opportunity to claim the spoils and seize Holy Fla Star. If that happened, another fierce battle was inevitable. If they activated the star-protecting array now, they could keep the enemies out of the star system. As long as they couldn't get cultivators onto Holy Fla Star, even if the Exquisite Treasures Alliance wished to take the planet, it would be a difficult task.
After Wei Ji spoke, Chu Xuan and Shang Xingchen both nodded in agreent.
However, Yun Lan shook her head, smiling gently as she covered her mouth. "Logically, the star-protecting array should indeed be activated, but what you don't know is that the sect has only allocated so many spirit stones. If we activate the star-protecting array, we will need to use spirit stones from our own storage. The consumption of the array per mont is terrifying—it's far beyond what we can sustain."
She paused for a mont before continuing, "Moreover, the Exquisite Treasures Alliance has shown no signs of heading toward Holy Fla Star recently. Instead, several rchant caravans have set their sights on Fiery Sky Star and Crazy Dragon Star. The resources there are clearly far superior to those of Holy Fla Star."
Upon hearing this, Tian Mosen and Zhang Jinzhou both nodded in agreent. When working for the sect, one must consider the gains and losses. With such a ager annual stipend, it would hardly make sense to engage in a losing trade.
Chu Xuan furrowed his brow slightly. Her reasoning was valid, but sothing about it didn't sit right with him. Ever since arriving on Holy Fla Star, he had been plagued by a feeling of unease. It was as though so great calamity was on the horizon.
Yet, now was the critical mont to finally wipe out the remnants of Red Fla Pavilion, and he could not afford to back out. He had no choice but to remain focused on overseeing the battle.
Yun Lan smiled. "Fellow Daoists, the remnants of Red Fla Pavilion won't last much longer. We'll rest for a few days. Once the cultivators have recovered to their peak condition, we'll cross the sea and strike a decisive blow!"
Chu Xuan had no objections.
That night, he returned to a temporary cave residence that had been set up for him. Before he could even sit down in ditation, a respectful voice rang from outside.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, here is the list of our sect's fallen cultivators in recent battles."
Chu Xuan strode out and took the list from Yuan Zichu.
The Golden Core cultivators of the Heavenly Infinite Sect had been the main force in the ongoing conflict on Holy Fla Star. The Nascent Soul cultivators, including Chu Xuan, rarely intervened unless absolutely necessary.
By staying out of the fray, the remaining Nascent Soul cultivators of Red Fla Pavilion were hesitant to make a move, thus delaying their action. As a result, the casualties among the Golden Core cultivators were the heaviest.
Chu Xuan quickly scanned the list.
"Fu Peng... died in the Nether Fire Valley?" His brow furrowed.
