In the void approximately one light-hour away from this planet, a massive dirt-colored planet floats.
On the planet, hurricanes with speeds reaching thousands of kilometers per hour occasionally sweep through. Their destructive might is such that, when viewed from space, one can see the swirling vortices they create.
And standing prominently in the eye of these countless converging hurricanes is a fortress.
This fortress is ancient and imposing, standing firm amidst the violent winds, unshaken no matter how fiercely the wind blows.
This place is Hun Tian Stronghold, governing a starry domain spanning over a thousand light-hours nearby.
At this moment, the leader of Hun Tian Stronghold, Shen Pengxing, is sitting in the assembly and distribution hall, his brow furrowed, his expression grave.
In recent days, he has been feeling uneasy, as if something bad is about to happen.
For this reason, he specifically asked Hun Tian Stronghold’s strategist, Tuo Tianliang—one of the Four Pillars and Eight Columns—to perform a divination.
After the divination, the strategist grinned, showing his teeth.
"Chief, have you been worrying about someone lately?"
Shen Pengxing nodded, "Indeed!"
"Hehe, if my guess is right, you’re worried about Red Lotus Immortal Venerable, Xue An, aren’t you?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Pengxing’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly sighed heavily.
"You’re right. I have indeed been worrying about Xue An, especially since he’s been causing quite a stir in the Multiverse lately! If he finds out what we did to Qingyang Temple..."
At this point, Shen Pengxing shivered and dared not think further.
This Hun Tian Stronghold calls itself a sect, but in reality, it’s nothing more than a den of bandits.
Years ago, Shen Pengxing set up checkpoints in the area, demanding tolls from any cultivators passing by.
As it happened, Xue An once passed through, and Shen Pengxing’s men demanded a toll from him.
The result was...
The result was that the checkpoint was directly destroyed, and Hun Tian Stronghold was reduced from a major power occupying a large starry domain to the current small fortress.
Shen Pengxing nearly lost his life as well; if he hadn’t been quick to beg for mercy, he might have been long dead and gone.
All this made Shen Pengxing and his followers hate Xue An to the core.
But even more intense than this hatred was fear.
So much so that Shen Pengxing couldn’t even hear Xue An’s name without feeling the urge to kneel on the ground.
One can imagine how ecstatic they were when they heard of Xue An’s demise.
Shen Pengxing nearly fainted with joy, and after a three-day feast, he launched a rampant revenge on Qingyang Temple.
This led to Gong Liangxing and others from Qingyang Temple being imprisoned on that planet, never to be liberated.
But to his utter disbelief, not long after those days of joy, news of Xue An emerged again in the Multiverse.
Not only had Xue An reappeared, but he had also slain six Immortal Kings, and then intimidated the Array Refinement Thousand Sects with his overwhelming power equal to that of his prime.
After hearing this news, Shen Pengxing could neither eat his fill nor sleep well.
For he was constantly worrying whether Xue An would come for revenge.
After all, he had dealt a deadly blow to Qingyang Temple; if Xue An ever found out, he certainly wouldn’t let him off.
That’s why he was desperate enough to seek the stronghold’s strategist for divination.
