Galaxies surge and swirl across the cosmos.
Looking around, a dazzling light shines, like a magnificent Milky Way flowing.
"What are your plans next?" Yan Rumeng asked.
Jun Xiaoyao took out a mask and put it on his face.
It was a ghostly mask, neither crying nor laughing, seeming both and neither at once. It looked comical, crude, and slightly frightening.
Yánrúmèng, seeing this, was slightly startled, then let out a giggle.
“The son of a revered noble family, wearing such an inept and eerie mask? It looks like a child’s toy. Is he trying to pretend to be weak to catch the strong?”
Jun Xiaoyao said lightly, "The Thirteen Grand Thieves have a strong intelligence network. Moreover, this place is one of their strongholds. I'm afraid they have informants all over the chaotic star sea."
If they were still as reckless as before, the Thirteen Pirates would probably get wind of their arrival the moment they entered the Chaotic Star Sea. That would alert them and ruin everything.
"I don't want to make a wasted trip."
Yan Ruheng withdrew her smile and also nodded.
The Thirteen Thieves, being related to the otherworldly, indeed require careful consideration.
If they were to make a grand entrance, the Thirteen Assassins, upon hearing the news, would probably retreat immediately.
All your efforts will be in vain.
However, Yan Ru Meng didn't know that when Jun Xiao Yao put on this ghost mask, there was another meaning behind it.
Before that, he had learned from the news from Tiannv Yuan.
That Zhuxian thief also wore a ghost face mask and possessed the ability to devour bloodlines.
This inevitably reminds you of that person.
The ghostly figure of the girl with a mask from Tiandao Building, and the woman with a mask that appeared on the altar for honoring heroic spirits from the mortal realm.
And there's the Ghost-Faced Queen Wan Gu Zang Tu, buried with her spectral mask, left behind in the Bronze Immortal Hall.
Now there's another Ghost-faced Zhuxian Thief.
And then there's the Otherworld Organization and the Beyond.
All of this, it seems as if there is a thread, secretly connecting everything.
Jun Xiaoyao put on the ghost mask, also wanting to know if he really met the Zhuxian thief.
What will the consequences be for Zhu Xian stealing?
"Alright, you better conceal yourself too. With such beauty, it's too eye-catching." Jun Xiaoyao looked at Yan Rumei, whose flawless features were perfect, and shook his head.
Taking such a beauty to the tumultuous Star Sea would be like carrying a torch in the darkness, attracting attention from all directions.
"Keke, even though I know you don't mean anything else by it, why do I still feel so happy?" Yan Rumeng laughed, her branches trembling.
She wouldn't feel anything if she were complimented by an ordinary man.
But to be praised by someone like Jun Xiaoyao, a god-like figure, even Yan Rumei's vanity would be satisfied, and she would be very happy.
She put on a white veil over her face, revealing only a pair of glistening autumn-water eyes.
The veil not only did not diminish her charm, but rather added a touch of hazy beauty to Yan Rumei's allure.
After preparing themselves, Jun Xiaoyao and his two companions entered the turbulent Nebula Sea.
……
The chaotic stellar sea, vast and boundless, even ordinary prodigies wouldn't dare venture in alone.
If you're not careful, you could be caught in a void vortex, and worse, you could even be swallowed by terrifying creatures like the Star-Devouring Beast.
Generally speaking, prodigies either travel in groups or accompany merchant caravans.
Jun Xiaoyao and others, having entered the Turbulent Star Sea for over ten days, encountered three waves of space pirates.

Pfft!

Jun Xiaoyao, with a casual flick of his finger, sent a bandit of saintly rank flying apart, leaving behind only a cloud of blood mist.
Meanwhile, in another part of the starry sky, a few young prodigies stared blankly, looking at everything before them, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Slaying saint-level powerhouses with ease, who is this taboo genius?"
"With a mask on his face, could he be an elder powerhouse?"
These young prodigies, traveling together, unexpectedly encountered space pirates along the way.
Just as they were about to despair, they saw Jun Xiaoyao and others passing by.
Those bandits, without a word, launched their attack, but they were effortlessly wiped out by Jun Xiaoyao with a flick of his wrist.
"If we follow this senior, we will surely be able to arrive safely at Giant Que City." One of the female prodigies among these prodigies said.
They looked at each other, then hurried forward to catch up with Jun Xiaoyao and the others who were leaving.
"Senior, wait." The female prodigy spoke.
"Is something the matter?" Jun Xiaoyao said lightly.
This gentle and refined voice instantly stunned the several young prodigies.
Not from the older generation? <<<
Several people looked at each other, their eyes wide with shock.
Even the younger generation, even the forbidden geniuses, couldn't possibly do this, effortlessly killing a Saint, right?
Could it be... a super taboo?!
Upon considering this possibility, these talented individuals' expressions were filled with even more respect and humility.
Although they all came from powerful factions, they did not dare to show even the slightest disrespect in front of this mysterious young powerhouse.
"Young master, could it be that you, too, have come to Giant Que City because of the summoning order from the Ten Thousand Races Merchant Alliance?" The female prodigy asked with a curtsy.
"The Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, Summoning Order, what does it mean?" Jun Xiaoyao stroked the Taiyin Jade Rabbit in his arms and said faintly.
Hearing this, the several prodigies exchanged glances, surprise in their eyes.
Another genius said, "Perhaps young master doesn't know, but recently, Xia Chuqing, the second miss of the Xia family from the Wanzu Merchant Alliance, was kidnapped by the first culprit of the Evil Pit."
"Now, the Xia family has issued a summons, calling for a group of cultivators to gather in Giant Que City and together march against the Evil Pit."
“It is said that those who are willing to join can receive a very generous reward.”
Hearing the young prodigy's explanation, a flicker of light crossed Jun Xiaoyao's eyes beneath the mask.
Let's assemble a team and head to the Pit of Sin, it's conveniently on our way anyway, right?
And Jun Xiaoyao, if he were to enter the pit of sin alone, would inevitably cause conflict and attract attention from all sides.
If the Thirteen Assassins found out beforehand, it would alert them.
But if you follow the main force, you can hide among them and then find the stronghold of the Thirteen Thieves, directly striking with thunderous force to wipe them out.
"We could certainly give it a try." Beside her, Yan Ru Meng, veiled in a light gauze, spoke.
"...Such a beautiful woman..." The young geniuses were all mesmerized.
Although veiled by a light gauze, Yan Rumeng's eyes sparkled like water, her figure was graceful and undulating, with round jade-like legs that were long and snowy white.
Needless to say, she must be a stunning beauty.
Yan Rumei smiled faintly, and the several prodigies were instantly as if they had fallen into a dream, somewhat dazed.
"Alright, let's go," Jun Xiaoyao said softly.
Only after a few days did these prodigies wake up, regaining their senses and wearing expressions of shame on their faces.
They naturally had no idea, that Yan Rumeng who awakened the Heavenly Dream Butterfly Bloodline, with every smile and frown, could influence people's minds.
Only someone with a powerful soul like yours, Jun, could be completely immune.
Then, Jun Xiaoyao, Yan Rumeng, and Taiyin Yutu, led by several young Tianjiao, went to Jueshe City.
