Chapter 1388: The Best Target

A few hours later, two streaks of light landed in a desolate wasteland.

As the light dissipated, the excited faces of Yi Feng and Wei Donghai were revealed. When Yi Feng saw the endless sea of sand before him, he was visibly stunned.

He had been to this sea of sand before.

Although it had dragon beard noodles and various wild game, making it a decent hunting spot, it was indeed quite desolate, with hardly any place to rest or take shelter.

No matter how he thought about it.

The ruler of a star system, the Star Lord, couldn't possibly lower themselves to stay in such a godforsaken place.

Yi Feng turned back and asked, his tone filled with suspicion.

"Is the Star Lord really here?"

Wei Donghai chuckled, his eyes showing a hint of reverence.

"Haha."

"Brother Yi, it's no wonder you're skeptical. Anyone would find it hard to believe that someone as noble as the sun and moon would stay in such a desolate place for long."

"But this is absolutely true. Since the Star Lord personally sealed the rift here, he has been worried that any changes in the rift might endanger the lives of the people of Yunxing. That's why he comes here every day to check. If we have important matters to report, we can always find him here!"

Hearing this, Yi Feng nodded in understanding.

"So that's how it is."

"This Star Lord, for the safety of all living beings, has gone to such lengths. He truly lives up to his title."

Wei Donghai nodded in agreement.

He clasped his fists again, his eyes filled with deep reverence.

"Brother Yi, you are absolutely right!"

"The Star Lord has an extraordinary demeanor, cares deeply for the people of Yunxing, and has the ambition to lead Yunxing back to its peak. Whether in character or cultivation, he is like the light of the moon, something we can only aspire to in our lifetimes."

"The grand plan the Star Lord has been orchestrating is now unfolding, and we are already deeply involved in it. The blessings and opportunities are endless. Brother Yi, when you meet the Star Lord later, you must not be the least bit disrespectful. Seize this opportunity!"

Listening to the earnest advice, a glimmer of anticipation appeared in Yi Feng's eyes.

Even though he hadn't met the Star Lord yet, after hearing all these stories from Brother Wei, he could already imagine the figure of a peerless powerhouse!

Opportunities and such didn't matter; he was finally going to meet the Star Lord.

Seeing that he was about to successfully deliver the message, Yi Feng felt much more at ease. Hearing about such an impressive figure, his long-dormant thoughts began to stir.

This Star Lord was so remarkable, the number one figure in the entire star system. His cultivation must be terrifyingly powerful!

Perhaps...

He might even be stronger than me!

If I could find an opportunity to test him, wouldn't that be a perfect way to complete my suicide mission?

Thinking this, Yi Feng grew even more excited and quickly clasped his fists in response.

"Thank you for the reminder. I will definitely not be disrespectful. Let's go and pay our respects to the Star Lord now!"

Seeing Yi Feng's eagerness, Wei Donghai found it completely natural.

In all of Yunxing.

No matter who it was, upon learning these secrets and having the chance to meet the Star Lord and gain supreme opportunities, it was only human to be excited and lose composure. The fact that Brother Yi could still maintain his calm demeanor showed a level of mental fortitude that was truly admirable.

With such a temperament and profound cultivation, even if he was far from matching the Star Lord, he would surely be heavily relied upon. Becoming the second most powerful figure in Yunxing shouldn't be a problem!

Reuniting to repay kindness and rebuild Yunxing together, ascending to the supreme path in the future, leaving a legacy for generations...

There was nothing more satisfying in the world than this!

Wei Donghai grew more and more excited as he thought about it and immediately led the way, flying swiftly!

"Brother Yi, let's head to the depths of the wasteland now!"

The two of them lightly tapped the sand with their toes, gliding over the endless sea of sand like wild geese, their faces filled with joy, their hearts brimming with indescribable anticipation and excitement.

In just a few moments.

They had flown thousands of miles across the sea of sand, and a lone figure in white appeared on the horizon.

The figure stood quietly at the edge of the sky, the vast sea of sand beneath unable to overshadow the elegance of his snow-white robes. With his hands behind his back, he gazed at the endless heavens, a scene as beautiful as a painting.

At a glance.

Both of them were struck by the sight and almost simultaneously stopped in mid-air.

Wei Donghai turned back in pleasant surprise and whispered another reminder!

"Brother Yi!"

"That is the Star Lord. Let's land quickly and go pay our respects!"

Hearing the repeated reminder, Yi Feng grew even more expectant and immediately nodded, landing on the sand.

"Alright!"

The two of them landed on the sea of sand, tidied their appearances, and walked steadily forward a few steps, finally approaching the figure.

From a distance of about ten feet, the figure was even more stunning.

His white robes were as pure as jade, his bearing as proud as a plum blossom.

Standing alone in the endless sea of sand, he seemed to guard this land, ensuring the peace of all living beings in Yunxing. His seemingly simple attire now radiated a sacred and majestic aura.

Even though Yi Feng had seen many remarkable figures, he was still captivated by the demeanor of this first encounter.

Wei Donghai bowed respectfully, his fists clasped, filled with boundless reverence.

"Star Lord..."

But before he could finish speaking, a calm voice echoed in his ears.

"You bear the heavy responsibility of rebuilding Yunxing. You should be overseeing important matters in the Nine Realms. Why have you brought someone here?"

Wei Donghai's eyes filled with even more awe, and he hurriedly replied.

"Star Lord, please forgive me."

"I should have been focused on the task of rebuilding, but I unexpectedly encountered Brother Yi. His cultivation is profound, and his character is upright. He is truly a rare talent. Given that Yunxing is in dire need of capable individuals, I took the liberty of bringing him here to pay his respects."

After speaking, Wei Donghai stood respectfully, not daring to make another sound.

After a few moments of silence.

A gentle voice sounded, bringing a sense of warmth and comfort.

"I see."

"There's no need to be alarmed. Since there is talent, I will naturally make good use of it."

In just a few words, the Star Lord displayed extraordinary magnanimity, even showing a clear understanding of Wei Donghai's movements, as if he were a true deity of Yunxing, profound and unfathomable.

Wei Donghai was already filled with utmost respect, and Yi Feng felt a surge of fighting spirit.

From past experience, those who put on airs and pretended to be powerful were often just hollow shells. But the Star Lord he saw today was calm and mysterious, with an entirely different aura.

This was truly the demeanor of a powerhouse of the star system.

Such a strong individual was undoubtedly the best target for a suicidal mission. There was no second one like him in the entire star system. If he missed this opportunity, there wouldn't be another!

But how could he find a reason to start a fight?

As he was secretly plotting.

Wei Donghai quietly winked at him, repeatedly hinting for him to step forward and pay his respects. But Yi Feng was too focused on his grand plan to notice these subtle cues.

Seeing that he had been standing still for several moments, the Star Lord spoke up.

"Since you have the noble intention of rebuilding Yunxing, you must be a loyal and righteous individual. In principle, I should bestow upon you an opportunity to enhance your cultivation. But why are you being so disrespectful, delaying in coming forward to kneel and pay your respects?"

"Even though I am broad-minded, I cannot casually grant opportunities, nor can I tolerate such disrespectful behavior. Do not think that just because you have some minor cultivation, you have the right to be arrogant."

As the stern voice rang out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

In the desolate sea of sand, there was no sign of any wind or movement, as if a terrifying pressure was subtly emanating. Wei Donghai's face turned pale with anxiety.

Yi Feng finally snapped out of his thoughts.

Hearing the words, he wasn't the least bit nervous. Instead, his eyes lit up.

He had been wondering how to find an excuse to start a fight, and now the opportunity had come. This was truly heaven helping him!

He immediately stepped forward.

With a cold expression and furrowed brows, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, he played along with the atmosphere and the conversation, putting on an "arrogant" act!

"So what if you're the Star Lord!"

"With just empty words, you expect me to kneel before your authority as the Star Lord? There's no such logic in the world! I, Yi Feng, only kneel before the strong. If you want me to kneel, show me your true power!"

His voice resonated, and a cold wind howled!

A chilling aura spread around them, and Wei Donghai's face turned ashen with fear!
