Chapter 187
Chapter 187: I Believe
This is not a trial; it’s impossible to track everyone’s circumstances. They don’t know that Wang Jie has become Zhi Nan Xing, nor do they know what Wang Jie said to Yun Ju. By the time they see it, the battle has already turned into a chaotic free-for-all.
The four in the Wandering Star Realm were locked in a fierce clash, shaking the Devour Star at one end. Visible cracks appeared in the star’s surface.
Little Blue was confused. Where is Wang Jie? Where is he?
From the very beginning, the battle was intense—no one was holding back.
Shi Wei punched Yun Ju, having chased him for so long. It was only now that he had finally caught up.
Yun Ju was doing everything he could to cripple Li Cai and make a name for himself.
Li Cai was furious about Wen Yuan’s sneak attack.
Wen Yuan was trying to escape.
Each one was giving it their all.
Wang Jie kept retreating. It had nothing to do with him. He was just stirring the pot, but such a chaotic battle couldn’t be stirred so easily. Everyone here was too clever, each with their own motives.
The battle rocked Devour Star.
Everyone was lost, not understanding why the Jade Stone was missing, or where Wang Jie had gone, yet these people were still fighting so fiercely.
No one could stop them, no matter how hard they tried.
“Junior Brother Nan Xing, help me stop this fool Shi Wei,” said one voice.
Wang Jie replied helplessly, “Junior brother can’t do it, he’s in the Wandering Star Realm.”
“Then bind him, stop him!”
“I want to save my strength for the Jade Stone. Senior Brother surely doesn’t think the Jade Stone will be so easy to snatch, right?”
No one understood, but Yun Ju understood immediately. This meant Wang Jie was planning to save his strength to kill Li Cai.
He gritted his teeth, but he had to fight. The message was clear: a promise was never easy to fulfill—it had to be earned.
Li Cai roared, “I told you, the Jade Stone isn’t with me. Wen Yuan, explain yourself. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
Wen Yuan sighed, “The Jade Stone was really taken by Wang Jie. At the time, I didn’t even know it was him. He took it in someone else’s form.”
Yun Ju sneered. He didn’t care where the Jade Stone was, as long as he could injure Li Cai, but the reason had to be justified. “Nonsense. I’ve met Wang Jie, and he’s never been capable of stealing the Jade Stone from both of you.”
Li Cai nearly spat blood in rage.
Two full days.
This battle had lasted two whole days.
Wang Jie had never fought so long before. Everyone was exhausted just watching.
The four of them had turned the surrounding landscape into ruins.
Mountains became rubble, rivers changed course, and the sky was a dull gray. Finally, after immense energy expenditure, the fighters slowed down, panting heavily, with no strength left to fight. Even so, no one dared to approach.
Yun Ju glanced at Wang Jie, who was watching from a distance. His lips twitched.
Wang Jie gave him a look.
Yun Ju gritted his teeth.
Li Cai looked at Wen Yuan, then at Yun Ju. “Let’s speak clearly. The Jade Stone isn’t with me. I swear it. Wen Yuan, you also swore to betray me.”
Wen Yuan’s face turned pale. “I fought you openly, not betrayed you.”
“You!” Li Cai shouted angrily.
Yun Ju sneered. Wang Jie kept urging him, and it was time to strike. But Shi Wei moved first: “Apologize to the sect!”
Yun Ju…
This bastard just kept targeting him.
Without hesitation, he attacked Li Cai.
The battle continued. Their starforce drained away as they fought fiercely. Wang Jie watched as their energy continued to wane. Yun Ju was truly risking his life now. Zhi Qing’s promise was still incredibly valuable.
Li Cai had no idea why he was being attacked.
After half a day, Yun Ju couldn’t take it anymore: “Junior Brother, grab the Jade Stone!”
Li Cai looked at Zhi Nan Xing, exasperated. “How many times do I have to say it? The Jade Stone isn’t with me. Junior Brother Nan Xing, you really don’t believe me?”
“I believe you,” Wang Jie replied.
Li Cai froze.
Wen Yuan, Yun Ju, and even Shi Wei all stared at Wang Jie in confusion.
Wang Jie sighed. “It seems we’ve all misunderstood Senior Brother Li.”
Li Cai felt a surge of gratitude. Finally, someone believed him.
Wen Yuan opened his mouth to speak but couldn’t find the words, feeling like he had been beaten for nothing.
Yun Ju shouted, “Junior Brother, what nonsense are you talking? The Jade Stone is right there with him! Attack!”
Li Cai stared at Yun Ju. “What do I have against you? You’re just slandering me. Yun Ju, I swear, I won’t rest until you pay for this.”
Yun Ju glared at Wang Jie, shouting, “Junior Brother!”
Wang Jie looked at Yun Ju, his expression solemn. “The Jade Stone is truly not with Senior Brother Li. Yun Ju, you’re too obsessed.”
Yun Ju stared at Wang Jie, stunned, unable to hold back a mouthful of blood as his rage overcame him.
Who had he been fighting for all this time? To be told this in the end…
“Zhi Nan Xing, you’re playing me! You said you wanted to kill Li Cai, so I made my move!”
Wang Jie shouted, “How dare you! Not only are you slandering Senior Brother Li, but now you’re slandering me as well. Yun Ju, it seems you’re becoming more reckless with your White Realm Lord disciple status. It’s time for a lesson!”
With that, he threw out a bronze scroll. He didn’t need the Spring and Autumn Hand, just using his strength to send it crashing toward Yun Ju.
The bronze scroll slammed into Yun Ju with immense force, sending him flying.
Everyone froze, feeling like the situation was shifting in unpredictable ways.
Li Cai stared at Wang Jie and Yun Ju. Now it made sense. No wonder Yun Ju had been slandering him, he was trying to kill him. But what about Zhi Nan Xing? Why had he been slandering him at the start, then wanted to kill him? And why, now, was he attacking Yun Ju?
What was really going on?
Yun Ju roared and attacked Wang Jie. “Zhi Nan Xing, do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
Wang Jie sneered. “Slandering my family, defaming my senior brothers, Yun Ju, you should have been expelled from the sect long ago.” He raised his palm, unleashing a mighty strike.
Yun Ju had completely lost control, unleashing his Star Force, cultivating the strange Prison Flame.
His Star Force contained fire, able to lock or suppress other forces.
But at this moment, his Star Force was greatly depleted after the prolonged battle. Wang Jie’s brute strength blasted right through it, smashing through his body and sending him flying.
“Master!” Yun Ju’s followers rushed to shield him.
Wang Jie glanced at the others. “My family is not to be defamed. This is a lesson. Go back and tell your master, if there’s another time, I, Zhi Nan Xing, will show him what respect really means.”
With that, he turned and left.
No one stopped him.
Yun Ju had passed out completely.
Watching Wang Jie leave, Shi Wei and the others were left confused. They couldn’t understand what Zhi Nan Xing was up to from the beginning to the end.
Meanwhile, Wang Jie had a clear destination in mind—Shen Wang Ship.
Because Zhi Shu was aboard the Shen Wang Ship, that’s what Wang Jie had learned through Zhi Nan Xing.
On the other side of Devour Star, Zhong Yu pressed a hand to the ground, feeling the tremors. “It’s stopped.”
Ye Huang walked off the ship, amused. “Seems like things were lively on the other side. They’ve been fighting for nearly three days.”
“Thankfully, Senior Brother had the wisdom not to intervene. Otherwise, this chaotic battle would have ended with no one understanding what happened.” Zhong Yu praised.
Ye Huang was not unconcerned about the Jade Stone or Devour Star, but he had another task.
“Let’s go. It seems like the other side has been wiped out. As long as we block the others, Wang Jie will be fine.”
“Why is Senior Brother so intent on helping Wang Jie?”
“Because of what the White Domain wants to do, we have to stop them. The Zhi Upper Realm competition may seem fierce, but only a few can truly shake things up, and my Black Domain has its own priorities.”
“Is it Elder Zhi?”
Ye Huang didn’t answer, and the ship flew off into the distance. Soon, they intercepted another ship.
“Ah, so it’s Senior Brother Ye Huang. This humble one comes from the Deacon Hall.”
“I know.” Ye Huang interrupted them and spoke slowly, “From now on, until the contest for Devour Star is over, you’ll stay here and not move.”
“Senior Brother, aren’t you being too domineering? The contest for Devour Star is open to all.”
“Everyone can fight, and everyone can die.”
The people on the ship fell silent.
Ye Huang’s ship intercepted a second one: “From the Discipline Hall. If you don’t want to die, don’t move. Otherwise, don’t blame Senior Brother Ye Huang for being rude.”
“Did the Discipline Hall offend Senior Brother?”
“Stop talking nonsense. If I say don’t move, don’t move.”
There were cultivators stationed in various parts of Devour Star. Looking at the star from the cosmos, it could be divided into three sections. One was where Shi Wei and Li Cai were engaged in a fierce battle, which had just calmed down. Another side saw Ye Huang intercepting ships, halting the fighting. And on the third side, Wang Jie had finally arrived at the Shen Wang Ship.
The Shen Wang Ship was quietly parked in the forest.
Its hatch was severely damaged, but the rest seemed fine.
Wang Jie walked toward the ship and entered. Looking up, Zhi Shu stood calmly, her elegant figure exuding an ethereal air, giving her an aura of unattainability.
Zhi Shu turned her gaze toward Wang Jie, puzzled. “Clan Brother, what brings you here?”
Wang Jie walked up to her. “Just passing through.”
Zhi Shu looked away and glanced at the screen. “Someone said Yun Ju attacked Li Cai because you confirmed the Jade Stone was still with him. They said Wang Jie stole Wen Yuan’s Jade Stone with Wen Yuan and Li Cai conspiring to act, in order to take control of Devour Star. Is this true?”
Wang Jie smiled bitterly. “Of course not. It’s just that Yun Ju has a personal grudge against Li Cai, and he deliberately twisted things. I just made a random guess, and he’s risking his life to fight Li Cai. There’s no way he’d trust my words.”
Zhi Shu thought about it. “Since Yun Ju was accepted as a disciple of White Realm Lord, he’s been growing more reckless. Li Cai is the son of Li Tong Heelder, so I wonder how White Realm Lord will explain this to him.”
“It’s possible we’ll have to trouble Ancestor Zhi Qing.”
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and turned to Wang Jie. “How are the candidates your family has chosen for you? You can settle down now.”
Wang Jie frowned slightly. His appearance could be disguised, but his demeanor, expression, and speech were difficult to fake. So, he approached Zhi Shu immediately upon arrival to avoid being caught. This question was hard to answer.
Since it was difficult to answer, he looked at Zhi Shu and said, “Actually, I like you, Clan Sister.”
Zhi Shu froze, staring at Wang Jie in disbelief. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Her eyes widened as if to say, What?
Wang Jie struck with a palm, combining all his power and qi, unleashing it through his arm in a single, devastating blow. The power exploded and struck Zhi Shu.
Zhi Shu felt her star force, intertwined with her flesh and bones, being pierced by the tremendous force. She was sent flying, crashing into the ship, spitting out blood.
Looking up, her eyes filled with fury. “You are not Nan Xing.”
Wang Jie remained silent, pointing his finger, activating the Starry Finger technique.
Stars moved, and finger shadows intertwined, all aiming at Zhi Shu.
Zhi Shu’s combat power was similar to Yun Ju and Li Cai—strong, but with the additional advantage of the Ding Chen method. However, her method was completely useless against Wang Jie.
Facing the Starry Finger, she activated her star force, the light flashing brilliantly, using Stacking Heavenly Light.
