"Well said.
Our Miao Clan possesses over one hundred and seventy Branch Strongholds within the Tianluo Star Sea. Losing more than thirty has struck a heavy blow to our foundation.
Besides strengthening the defenses of each Branch Stronghold, we must mobilize all manpower and resources to swiftly uncover who the enemy behind these attacks truly is.
At the same time, we must strive to form an alliance with the Pang Clan to face this enemy together."
The Grand Elder nodded in agreement.
Half a day later.
A piece of news rapidly spread throughout the Tianluo Star Sea.
Miao Yifan, the young master of the Miao Clan, possessed the innate Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian, which was on the verge of awakening! The Miao Clan was sending out invitations far and wide to host a Celebration Grand Ceremony!
This news caused a sensation across the star sea.
For martial artists of the Tianluo Star Sea, a Divine Meridian was akin to something out of myth and legend!
They were too rare, too precious!
Let alone a place like the Tianluo Star Sea; even among the ancient, most renowned major powers in a few central star seas of this universe, it was extremely difficult to find a young genius who bore a Divine Meridian!
Moreover, legends spoke of four top-tier Divine Meridians: the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise.
Now that a young genius with the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian had suddenly appeared in the Tianluo Star Sea, the effect was naturally sensational!
"Heavens!
Who would have thought the Miao Clan could produce a genius with the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian! Does this signify the Miao Clan's complete future rise to power?"
"This is the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian we're talking about!
Once Miao Yifan matures, he'll certainly be able to match those true, peerless freaks within the central star seas!
And within the Tianluo Star Sea, he'll have no rivals in the future at all!"
...
Everywhere in the Tianluo Star Sea, people were discussing Miao Yifan.
"Pass down the order. Starting now, pay attention to fostering good relations with the Miao Clan."
"Someone, prepare generous gifts immediately. We will attend the Celebration Grand Ceremony hosted by the Miao Clan!"
"Take note, from this moment on, do not compete with the Miao Clan. Give way to them in all matters!"
...
Many forces across the star sea internally issued similar orders, preparing to curry favor with the Miao Clan.
For everyone knew, once Miao Yifan grew up in the future, he would undoubtedly become a major figure who could dominate a part of this universe!
As for the people from the few superpowers within the Tianluo Star Sea, they were both frustrated and envious.
Within the Pang Clan Headquarters.
"Patriarch, the Miao Clan has sent an invitation. They request our Pang Clan's presence at their ceremony."
An attendant came before Pang Xishan, holding an exquisitely crafted invitation.
Pang Xishan took the invitation, looked it over, and his expression became somewhat complex.
"Patriarch, the Miao Clan also sent word to notify the Second Young Master that Miao Ziqiong's daughter would be delivered to the Second Young Master's residence in a few days.
The Miao Clan's intention is likely to use Miao Ziqiong's daughter to compensate for the damage to our Pang Clan's reputation caused by the Miao Clan in the past."
An Elder said.
"What is the Second Young Master's opinion?"
Pang Xishan asked.
"It was originally the Second Young Master's idea.
The Second Young Master visited the Miao Clan not long ago and took a liking to Miao Ziqiong's daughter."
The Elder replied.
"Hmm.
If the Second Young Master is fond of her, that's enough.
Then, from now on, cease pressuring the Miao Clan.
Send a few Elders to attend the Celebration Grand Ceremony hosted by the Miao Clan."
Pang Xishan thought for a moment and spoke.
At another location within the Pang Clan Headquarters, inside an ornately decorated palace.
A man reclined lazily on a wide, soft chair, while four scantily clad women with seductive demeanors massaged him.
"Second Young Master, the Miao Clan's Grand Elder has sent word that Miao Ziqiong's daughter will be delivered to your residence in a few days."
An elderly man hurried into the palace and reported to the man.
"Excellent.
Miao Ziqiong, let your daughter pay your debts for you."
The man laughed coldly.
***
In a remote corner of the Tianluo Star Sea, within the void, a spacecraft lay parked.
"Awakening the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian?
To think there's actually someone in this universe who possesses the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian."
Inside the spacecraft, Ye Yunfei lightly frowned.
The Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian was a legendary treasure; even Ye Yunfei was somewhat surprised.
Because it was an extremely rare and precious type of Divine Meridian!
"Is the news accurate?
Is the Miao Clan truly planning to host a Celebration Grand Ceremony in a few days?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted towards Yang Xiaohu as he asked.
This news was provided by Yang Xiaohu.
"Big Brother, please believe me, it can't be wrong!
Over these years, I've planted quite a few spies within the Tianluo Star Sea, specifically to collect various pieces of news throughout the sea.
Moreover, I can also utilize my grandfather's intelligence network."
Yang Xiaohu thumped his chest, confident.
"I initially wanted to destroy more of the Miao Clan's Branch Strongholds to lure out their experts.
Who would have thought the Miao Clan would hold a Celebration Grand Ceremony.
At that time, many experts from numerous forces will certainly gather at the Miao Clan Headquarters.
Besides, I keep having a bad premonition.
It's as if something unpleasant is about to happen."
Ye Yunfei's brows knitted tightly together.
"No!
I must act sooner!"
After thinking, Ye Yunfei gritted his teeth and declared.
"We are preparing to go rescue someone at the Miao Clan Headquarters!"
Ye Yunfei sent a sound transmission to the Giant Arm.
"Alright.
Since you've decided, we'll raise hell at the Miao Clan!"
The Giant Arm conveyed its agreement.
Thus, Ye Yunfei immediately piloted the spacecraft towards the Miao Clan Headquarters.
"With my current strength, I wonder if I can rescue them smoothly.
Even traveling at full speed, reaching the Miao Clan Headquarters will take at least two or three days. I should make good use of this time to enhance my power.
However, all aspects of my strength, including Soul Power, physical power, and spiritual energy, were improved not long ago.
So, which aspect should I focus on strengthening now?"
Ye Yunfei pondered within his heart.
Just at that moment.
"Big Brother, I know of a few planets that have concealed Teleportation Formations that can quickly reach the Miao Clan Headquarters.
One of them is not far from our current location.
We can use a Teleportation Formation to get to the Miao Clan Headquarters. It should take, at most, only a few hours."
Yang Xiaohu suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
"Oh?
There are Teleportation Formations that lead directly to the Miao Clan Headquarters?"
Hearing Yang Xiaohu's words, Ye Yunfei was pleasantly surprised.
"Of course there are.
However, within the Tianluo Star Sea, Teleportation Formations are quite scarce. They are all controlled by major powers, and very few people know of them.
My grandfather is well-informed; he knows the locations of most Teleportation Formations existing in the Tianluo Star Sea.
If I'm ever in a hurry, I also use Teleportation Formations for fast travel.
Normally, these Teleportation Formations aren't open to the public. Only those holding an identity token and paying a hefty sum are permitted to enter them.
My grandfather obtained an identity token for me, granting me free passage."
Yang Xiaohu said proudly.
"That's perfect!
We'll travel using a Teleportation Formation then!
As for money, that's not a problem."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Haha...
Big Brother, after looting so many Pang Clan and Miao Clan Branch Strongholds these past days, money naturally isn't an issue.
Good, let's go to the nearest Teleportation Formation right now."
Yang Xiaohu laughed heartily.
