"Interesting."
Luo Chuan's eyes sparkled with interest as he watched the scene unfold. He could sense that the jade pendant wasn't being used to escape, but rather to transport the young man to safety.
At the same time, a divine presence locked onto Luo Chuan.
"Who dares to harm my son?!"
A furious shout echoed, and from the jade pendant at the young man's waist, a silver-white light shot into the sky, transforming into a figure the size of a thousand meters!
The entire world seemed to shift as a heavy pressure enveloped Nine Stars City almost instantly. Both ordinary citizens and cultivators looked at the figure in the sky with growing unease.
"This kind of terrifying aura… could it be that a powerful senior has arrived in Nine Stars City?!"
"I'm in the Soul Dominion realm, and I can't even muster the smallest amount of resistance against this pressure! Who could summon such an existence?"
"Don't worry, Nine Stars City is the imperial capital and has a defensive formation. Even a master won't be able to destroy it..."
At the same time, inside the imperial palace of Nine Stars City.
A man with sharp, sword-like brows and an emperor's aura, dressed in a yellow dragon robe, suddenly opened his eyes. This man was the emperor of the Star Empire, Emperor Ji Wuhui.
His cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Pathseeker realm!
Ji Wuhui looked up at the phantom in the sky, his face grim.
"Chu Yangping? Why has his soul projection come to Nine Stars City?"
"Your Majesty, the city guards have reported that the Young Palace Master, Chu Yunfei, of Silver Moon Palace has entered the city," replied an elderly man in a white robe, his hair gray.
The old man appeared ordinary at first glance, but if one looked closely, his eyes were like black holes capable of devouring one's very soul.
"Chu Yunfei? Haha, it seems that Chu Yangping is nostalgic for things in the Nine Stars Mountains." Ji Wuhui's lips curled into a faint smile.
"Fine. It looks like Chu Yunfei has provoked a powerful being drawn to something in the Nine Stars Mountains. If he is killed here, it will be difficult for me to handle."
"Old Bai, could I trouble you with this for a while?"
The old man, Mr. Bai, nodded, and his figure disappeared without a trace.
"Everyone's trying to get a piece of the action, but before they do, they should consider their own strength…" Ji Wuhui's voice echoed faintly within the imperial city.

"Is this the Soul Projection? I must admit, it's quite the spectacle."
Luo Chuan couldn't help but sigh as he observed the towering figure in the sky.
He knew better than anyone that Soul Projections were a pressure-inducing phenomenon, but right now, Luo Chuan remained calm, showing no signs of discomfort.
This was due to the invincible buff granted by the system.
Luo Chuan believed that within a ten-kilometer radius of his shop, even a legendary saint would be unable to withstand a single punch.
Invincibility, at times, is simply a lonely existence.

"Father, he not only killed Fu Bo, but now he wants to kill me!"
Not far from the scene, Chu Yunfei pointed at Luo Chuan, his voice filled with anger. He didn't mention that his own greed for money had started the chain of events.
Looking down at Luo Chuan, who seemed like nothing more than an ant beneath the immense projection of Chu Yangping's figure, the young man shouted coldly.
"Die!"
A voice of indifference reverberated, sealing Luo Chuan's fate.
At some unknown point, the sky darkened, and a bright moon appeared, its light colliding with the distant sun. A destructive aura radiated from the moon, sweeping everything in its path.
