The star river is vast, rolling through the cosmos.

Looking around, a dazzling light shines like a resplendent galaxy flowing.

"What's your plan next?" asked Yan Rumeng beside him.

Jun Xiaoyao took out a mask and put it on his face.

It was a ghost face mask, neither crying nor laughing, seemingly comical and clumsy, yet a bit scary.

Yan Rumeng was slightly astonished, then burst into a laugh.

"The noble Jun Family's Divine Son, wearing such a clumsy and bizarre mask, like a child's toy—is this to play the pig to eat the tiger?"

Jun Xiaoyao said calmly, "The Thirteen Great Thieves have strong information capabilities. Plus, this place is one of their bases, and I fear the entire Chaotic Star Sea has their spies everywhere."

"If I act as carelessly as before, the minute we enter Chaotic Star Sea, the Thirteen Great Thieves will learn about it, and that would alert them."

"I don't want to come here for nothing."

Yan Rumeng collected her laughter and nodded.

The Thirteen Great Thieves are related to the Exotic Realm, so caution is indeed necessary.

If they make a high-profile entrance, then the Thirteen Great Thieves would retract upon hearing the news.

Then we'll have drawn water with a bamboo basket—gone to waste.

However, what Yan Rumeng didn't know is that Jun Xiaoyao has another reason for wearing this ghost face mask.

Previously, he learned from Celestial Maiden Yuan's information.

The Immortal Slayer Thief also wears a ghost face mask, with the ability to devour bloodlines.

This inevitably made Jun Xiaoyao think of that person.

The ghost-faced maiden's shadow lingering in the Celestial Dao Tower, the ghost-faced woman manifesting at the Heroic Spirit Altar in the Lower Realm.

Also the ghost-faced Female Burial Emperor in the Ancient Burial Land, the ghost face mask left behind in the Bronze Immortal Hall.

Now there's yet another Immortal Slayer Thief wearing a ghost mask.

Along with the Other Shore Organization and Exotic Realm.

All these things seem to have a line, secretly linking them.

Jun Xiaoyao wearing this ghost face mask is also curious, if he ever truly encounters the Immortal Slayer Thief.

What would be the reaction of the Immortal Slayer Thief?

"Alright, you should disguise yourself too, being so beautiful is too flashy." Jun Xiaoyao looked at Yan Rumeng's flawless face and shook his head.

Bringing such a stunning beauty to the Chaotic Star Sea is undoubtedly like a torch in the night, attracting attention from all directions.

"Hehe, even though I know you don't mean anything else, why do I still feel so happy?" Yan Rumeng laughed, flowers swaying.

Being praised by ordinary men, she wouldn't feel anything.

But being praised by a god-like figure such as Jun Xiaoyao, even Yan Rumeng's vanity is satisfied, feeling quite happy.

She took out a white veil, wearing it only revealing her Autumn Water Bright Gaze.

The veil didn't reduce her charm, but instead added a bit of enigmatic beauty to Yan Rumeng.

After some preparations, Jun Xiaoyao and the others ventured into the Chaotic Star Sea.

...

The Chaotic Star Sea, vast, normal celestial prides dare not venture alone.

If careless, one would get caught in the void whirlpool, or, worse, be devoured by star-devouring ancient beasts and other terrifying creatures.

Generally, celestial prides travel in groups or with some convoy teams.

Jun Xiaoyao and his team, after ten days in the Chaotic Star Sea, encountered three waves of star thieves.

Poof!

Jun Xiaoyao pointed casually, and a Saint-level thief's body exploded ahead, turning into a blood mist.

Elsewhere in space, a few young celestial prides stood frozen, watching everything before them with disbelief in their eyes.

"Effortlessly killing a Saint powerhouse, which Forbidden Celestial Pride is this?"

"With a mask on, could it be an elder powerhouse?"

These young celestial prides, traveling together, encountered the star thieves along the way.

At the despairing moment, they saw Jun Xiaoyao and his group pass by.

Without a word, the thieves attacked immediately, only to be effortlessly exterminated by Jun Xiaoyao.

"If we follow this senior, we certainly can reach Juque City safely," one of the female celestial pride among them said.

They exchanged glances and hurriedly went forward to catch up with Jun Xiaoyao and his team.

"Senior, wait," the female celestial pride spoke.

"What's the matter?" Jun Xiaoyao asked indifferently.

This warm, jade-like voice instantly left the young celestial prides stunned.

Not an elder?

Exchanging glances, shock was evident in their eyes.

No matter how talented, a young generation celestial pride couldn't kill a Saint that easily, right?

Could it be... a Super Forbidden?

Thinking of this possibility, these celestial prides became even more respectful and humble.

Though they hail from powerful factions, in front of this mysterious young powerhouse, none dared show any disrespect.

"This mister, are you also heading to Juque City because of the Ten Thousand Races Business Alliance's Summoning Order?" The female celestial pride respectfully inquired.

"Ten Thousand Races Business Alliance, Summoning Order, what does that mean?" Jun Xiaoyao murmured, caressing the Taiyin Jade Rabbit.

Hearing this, the celestial prides exchanged puzzled glances.

Another celestial pride explained, "Perhaps mister doesn't know, recently the second young lady of the Xia Family from the Ten Thousand Races Business Alliance, Xia Chuying, was kidnapped by the first evil in the Sin Pit."

"Now, the Xia Family issued a Summoning Order to recruit some cultivators to gather at Juque City to attack the Sin Pit."

"They say those willing to join can receive a generous reward."

After hearing the young celestial pride's explanation, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered beneath the mask.

Gathering a team to the Sin Pit, isn't that just along the way?

If Jun Xiaoyao entered the Sin Pit alone, conflicts would arise, attracting attention from all sides.

If the Thirteen Great Thieves sensed it early, it'd alert them.

But if he followed a large group, he could blend in and find the Thirteen Great Thieves' base, then destroy it with thunderous methods.

"We might as well give it a try," said Yan Rumeng, veiled beside him.

"Such a beautiful woman..." The young celestial prides were dumbfounded.

Yan Rumeng, though veiled, had shining eyes like scissors on water, a slender figure with snow-white, long legs.

No need to guess; she was undoubtedly a beauty of national charm.

Yan Rumeng smiled slightly, making the celestial prides seem dreamy and a bit dazed.

"Alright, let's move," Jun Xiaoyao said softly.

The celestial prides then awoke from their daze, with embarrassed looks on their faces.

They didn't know that Yan Rumeng, who awakened the Celestial Dream Butterfly bloodline, could affect people's minds with every smile and gesture.

Only someone with a strong Primordial Spirit like Jun Xiaoyao could be entirely immune.

Then, Jun Xiaoyao, Yan Rumeng, and the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, led by the young celestial prides, headed for Juque City.
