Next, Yun Lan shifted her gaze away from Chu Xuan and quickly recounted the current situation on Holy Flame Star.
It turned out that the first group of Heaven Shaking Divine Sect cultivators had already arrived a month ago. With the aid of an insider within the Red Flame Pavilion, they had swiftly seized a piece of land while the star's protective array was still inactive. In the blink of an eye, they had established their foothold.
The Red Flame Pavilion, not one to back down, immediately launched a counterattack. The two sides had been locked in a stalemate ever since. Only now did Yun Lan and her group require reinforcements.
"Fellow Daoists, please follow me," Yun Lan said, smiling warmly. "Rest for a day, and we will join the battle on the morrow."
Her smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, bringing a sense of ease to Tian Mosen, Zhang Jinzhou, Wei Ji, and the others.
Chu Xuan and Shang Xingchen exchanged a glance, but said nothing. Both could see that Yun Lan was certainly a cultivator of charm arts—and a highly skilled one at that. Even without using Spiritual Qi, her every smile and frown had an enchanting effect. If she were to use Spiritual Qi and cast spells, she could likely sway the hearts and minds of others. They would need to be cautious and wary of her.
That evening, the welcoming banquet was held as scheduled. At the banquet, Yun Lan took the opportunity to explain in detail the situation of Holy Flame Star, covering every aspect, no matter how small.
The one concern that had weighed most heavily on Chu Xuan was also addressed. He had feared that a Deity Transformation cultivator might be present on Holy Flame Star. Even if there were numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, they would be no match for a single Deity Transformation cultivator.
However, Yun Lan reassured them, saying that the Deity Transformation master guarding Holy Flame Star, the "Blazing Fire True Master" from the Red Flame Pavilion, had been driven back by the Blood Wine True Master.
The two had fought fiercely in the starry skies and were not currently on Holy Flame Star. This meant that the Nascent Soul cultivators could now act freely, without fear.
In order to preserve their heritage, protect their treasures, and save the billions of mortals on this star who had been corrupted by the Red Flame Pavilion, they must act in the name of justice!
...
The battle was far easier than expected.
The Red Flame Pavilion cultivators had anticipated reinforcements, but they had never imagined that these reinforcements would be so terrifyingly strong! These Golden Core cultivators from the Heavenly Infinite Sect were each adept in the arts of corpse cultivation and spirit manipulation.
Some of the particularly powerful ones had even dabbled in poison techniques and curse arts. Each of them seemed to have stepped out from the very depths of a blood-soaked battlefield. Their cultivation was profound, their Spiritual Qi rich, their experience vast, and their battle techniques fierce. They were full of hidden cards!
A single Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Infinite Sect could easily handle two Golden Core cultivators from the Red Flame Pavilion of the same rank, not only without fear but even gaining the upper hand! Not to mention the Red Flame Pavilion cultivators, even Tian Mosen, Zhang Jinzhou, and Yun Lan, the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect cultivators, were utterly stunned.
It felt as though they had let a pack of hungry wolves loose in a herd of sheep. Even the Golden Core cultivators of the Heaven Shaking Divine Sect had never displayed such ferocity!

Heavenly Infinite Sect had been on Holy Flame Star for less than a year, yet they had already occupied three-quarters of the planet's surface. In these territories, only a handful of Red Flame Pavilion cultivators still resisted, but their days were numbered, and they would soon be eliminated.
The remaining groups of Red Flame Pavilion cultivators had been pushed to a remote, isolated continent, where they clung to life in a desperate struggle. It could be said that within three months at most, the sect would succeed in completely conquering Holy Flame Star.
One day, Chu Xuan and the others hovered in mid-air, gazing at the distant lands below. The battle reports submitted by the soldiers had already been compiled and were now in the hands of the Nascent Soul cultivators.
Yun Lan marveled, "Fellow Daoist Chu, your sect's Golden Core cultivators have taken another city. Now, except for that one landmass, there are no more remaining Red Flame Pavilion cultivators to resist."
Tian Mosen couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Chu, how does the Heavenly Infinite Sect cultivate these disciples? Could you perhaps impart a few lessons?"
