When Yu Yuan brought back the half-finished Star Banner, he just happened to see the seven Heavenly Immortals surrounding Yun Zhongzi, continuously scolding and cursing at him.

Yun Zhongzi obviously wasn't quite ready for this scene, his face full of bitter smiles as he repeatedly tried to explain something.

At that moment, one of the Heavenly Immortals saw Yu Yuan flying in on a cloud, his eyes lit up as he loudly exclaimed: "Look, you even dare to come back, quickly hand over the Star Banner!"

Yu Yuan understood.

It turned out that the seven Heavenly Immortals had discovered that the Star Banner had been stealthily stolen and immediately concluded that Yun Zhongzi and Yu Yuan were in collusion, demanding the Star Banner or they would make them suffer.

Yu Yuan took out the Star Banner and handed it over, while looking at Yun Zhongzi he said: "Great nephew, do you remember what I told you about Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf?"

"Hmm?"

Yun Zhongzi paused slightly, somewhat puzzled as to why he brought this up now.

At this time, the seven Heavenly Immortals had already taken the Star Banner, and after just a couple of glances began to shout.

"This is wrong! How could this be a half-finished product?"

"This is fake! The real one must have been hidden by them!"

"Quickly hand over the real Star Banner, otherwise today we'll annihilate both your body and spirit!"

"..."

Yu Yuan smiled, a Mixed Gold Hammer appeared in his hand, looking at Yun Zhongzi he said: "See, these are the 'Wolves of Zhongshan'."

Yun Zhongzi suddenly understood, and his gaze towards the seven Heavenly Immortals turned cold.

After a short while, Yu Yuan and Yun Zhongzi carried the Star Banner and departed, leaving behind the seven Heavenly Immortals sprawled weakly atop the mountain peak.

...

Dawn was just breaking, the pale blue sky still dotted with a few sparse lingering stars.

Yu Yuan was sitting cross-legged on a cloud, the starlight swirling in front of him, with auspicious air all around, and in the center was the Star Banner snatched from Yang Jian.

This Star Banner was only a half-finished product, essentially only having its form, with merely a few Array Patterns on its surface, and it still lacked the most crucial "Spirit", thus it currently could not be considered a Spiritual Treasure.

Yun Zhongzi was quite interested in it, he moved forward to carefully examine the Star Banner, "This should be one of the spare items that the Demon Court made deliberately while forging the Star Banner... Such standardized Spiritual Treasures are usually refined by many Artifact Refining masters together, I can discern many different Artifact Refining techniques from this Star Banner...

Look at these few Array Patterns, they resemble the shape of mountains... wait, these Array Patterns seem to have been carved later, this kind of Artifact Refining technique is quite unusual..."

Hearing this, Yu Yuan's heart stirred, he carefully looked at the Array Patterns on the banner surface, and indeed saw that these patterns were not unified with the banner surface but were engraved after the banner was formed.

"Can you discern how long after the banner surface was formed that the Array Patterns were engraved?"

"Let me look a bit longer."

Yun Zhongzi said as he stimulated his Primordial Spirit, and used the Primordial Spirit Inspection method to scrutinize the Star Banner.

"Strange... this Star Banner is clearly an item of the Ancient Demon Court, but these Array Patterns seem to have been engraved recently..."

"Hmm?"

Yu Yuan was momentarily taken aback, then a look of realization crossed his face, "It seems these were forged deliberately by someone!"

Yun Zhongzi looked at him in astonishment, "Brother Dao, do you mean that this Star Banner was intentionally left there by someone?"

Yu Yuan was noncommittal, continuing to say, "Next, more Star Banners will likely appear, drawing more contention, that's when it'll be our turn to bring justice and support the weak!"

Yun Zhongzi didn't doubt his words at all, nodding vigorously.

"I am willing to advance and retreat together with Brother Dao!"

In the following days, events unfolded just as Yu Yuan had anticipated.

More and more Star Banners suddenly appeared within the Eastern Emperor Heaven, causing many of the Immortal Gods to fight fiercely over them.

Whenever Yu Yuan and Yun Zhongzi saw people fighting over the Star Banners, they would decisively intervene, defeat everyone, and snatch the banners.

Initially, Yun Zhongzi was still hesitant.

However, Yu Yuan advised him that this was to avoid conflicts.

Because all of these Star Banners were deliberately released by someone to incite strife.

Yun Zhongzi was skeptical at first, but after inspecting each of the Star Banners they had snatched, he found that indeed all were only half-finished impostors with no real value beyond deception.

This result made him thoroughly believe Yu Yuan's words.

Indeed, by snatching all these fake Spiritual Treasures, naturally, no one would fight over them anymore.

As for how much cursing, scolding, and risks this would attract...

Ha, we uphold righteousness, why would we care about these things?

In just a few days, Yu Yuan and Yun Zhongzi launched frenzied attacks, moving through tens of millions of miles, and successively seized over thirty Star Banners.

After careful comparison of the Array Patterns on the banners, more than half were repetitive.

The remaining patterns, however, could be pieced together to form a somewhat decent "map".

Although still incomplete, it was already possible to discern the general mountainous terrain.

Obviously, the array patterns on it form the shape of a mountain range.

Yun Zhongzi realized, "So... these Star Banners are actually a treasure map? Aren't we then seizing someone else's opportunity?"

"It might also be a bigger trap!"

Yu Yuan said righteously: "Think about it, other than the remnants of the Demon Clan, who else could produce these Star Banners? They must be brewing a huge conspiracy, right inside the mountain range marked by these Star Banners!

What we should do now is to follow the map, find that mountain range, and figure out the truth!"

Yun Zhongzi nodded solemnly, "Brother Dao speaks wisely, we need to find that mountain range first!"

Just then, a cold voice came.

"Are you the One Qi Immortal and Qi Zhongjun? It really took me a while to find you."

Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked towards the direction of the voice, only to see a tall figure quickly condensing out of the air hundreds of meters away.

The figure had an eagle-like face and rat-like eyes, standing on a giant blood-red lotus, his body surrounded by an aura of fierce evil as tangible as reality.

"Are you from the Asura Clan?!"

Spotting the appearance of the other, Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but exclaim.

The Asura Clan was born in the Netherworld Blood Sea, created by Minghe Ancestor in imitation of Nuwa's creation of humans.

Because the creation of the Asura Clan involved the aura of blood and brutality, members of the Asura Clan are naturally inclined to be warlike and ferocious.

They believe in the survival of the fittest, all Asura Clan members are immersed in endless battles and killings from birth... They are one of the most belligerent races in the Primordial era.

"I am Indra, hand over the Star Banners quickly if you know what's good for you! If you resist, I will take you all to the Blood Sea and let you taste the erosion of blood evil."

The Asura man's expression was cold and proud, his voice quite arrogant.

"Blood evil erosion?"

Yu Yuan's eyes flickered twice, it sounded quite interesting, and he definitely needed to visit the Blood Sea sometime.

Meanwhile, Yun Zhongzi, upon hearing the other revealing his identity, became more serious and used the Sound Transmission Skill to Yu Yuan: "Brother Dao, be careful, this Indra is the leader of the Four Great Demon Generals of the Asura Clan, said to be personally created by Minghe Ancestor, born with the cultivation of a Golden Immortal. He has been cultivating since the Ancient Era, his realm is unimaginable..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Indra laugh loudly: "You do have some eye for detail, hand over the Star Banner now, and I might let you die a swift death!"

Yun Zhongzi's expression changed drastically, realizing that his Sound Transmission Skill had failed to deceive the other.

The other must have some special ability like the Western Teachings Heavenly Ear Skill, or his cultivation level is far beyond his own!

If it's the former, it's nothing much, but if it's the latter, then their situation just got tougher.

However, at this moment, he wasn't very afraid.

After all, he is a disciple of the Saint, possessing quite a few life-saving methods, but his main concern was for Qi Zhongjun.

Even though this cheap uncle had demonstrated strong powers before him, those acts seem more like natural divine strength rather than profound cultivation.

And the Mixed Gold Hammer he used was only a medium-quality Spiritual Weapon at best.

It might dominate against Heavenly Immortals, but it's nothing in front of someone like Indra!

Thinking so, Yun Zhongzi looked at Yu Yuan beside him with worry, hesitating whether to give him two Spiritual Treasures to use.

However, as he turned his head, he heard his cheap uncle derisively "tch," looking at Indra and saying: "You're quite arrogant, huh? Knowing our names yet you still dare to come and steal our treasures…

I think you're like a cow flying in a plane, skyrocketing to the sky in arrogance!"

Hearing this, Yun Zhongzi felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Although he didn't fully understand part of that statement, he grasped the meaning.

Indeed, this cheap uncle, even faced with an expert like Indra, was still as bold as ever, embodying the spirit of eliminating the strong and supporting the weak to the end!

On the other hand, Indra also understood the meaning behind Yu Yuan's words, a cruel gleam flashing in his eyes.

He didn't say much more, just coldly spit out one word.

"Kill!"

The killing sound burst forth.

Upon hearing this "kill," Yun Zhongzi felt his Primordial Spirit tremble, immediately targeted by a chilling murderous intent.

As he freed himself, he saw a blood-red giant sword descending from the sky, shooting towards Qi Zhongjun beside him, horrifying him as he urgently voiced a loud warning, "Brother Dao look ou…"

But before the word "out" escaped him, he saw a rainbow light flash beside him, his cheap uncle, like the countless times before, rushed forward, his right hand swinging the Mixed Gold Hammer from below upwards towards Indra, the Asura Demon General.

Simple and straightforward, completely unreasonable.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound.

Indra, the leader of the Four Great Demon Generals of the Asura Clan, was sent flying out at high speed.

"This…"

Yun Zhongzi was dumbfounded, barely able to believe his own eyes.

So this cheap uncle was incredibly fierce!
