Chapter 358: The Fall of the Starry Sky Pier
"The reason why Star Lord Chi was able to become Star Lord was not because he was much stronger than any of you, but because he wholeheartedly strived for the rise of True Star, and worried about its safety. He dedicated his life to True Star, and even his last order was issued for the sake of True Star's safety."
"I think everyone here is very clear that a year ago, when the Star Lord was risking his life to protect True Star, where were you all? Now, in order to compete for the position of Star Lord, you have all come out, even forgetting the Star Lord's last wishes. I, Xu Chi Huang, would rather die in the Starry Sky Battlefield than be associated with the likes of you..."
After Xu Chi Huang finished speaking, he walked directly towards the main gate of the Star Lord Palace on Star Emperor Mountain.
"Fine, I, Su Xuan, will also go to the Starry Sky Battlefield. Staying here and protecting True Star with words all day long, I've lost enough face..."
"Guardian Xu is right, I, Yan Ze, am too lazy to stay here as well. True Star is in imminent danger, and it cannot be made safe just by talking," a man with long hair stood up after Su Xuan.
Xia Dandao and Yan Pingzhi's expressions were unsightly. Su Xuan was the Palace Lord of Star Sea Palace, controlling the Star Sea Army. Yan Ze was the Palace Lord of the seventh palace, Star Dock Palace, controlling the Star Dock Army. These two echoing Xu Chi Huang was very unfavorable to them.
"Guardian Xu, I have a Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root Flower here, I'll give it to you. I, Yan Ze, admire a man like you. Although this Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root Flower cannot restore your arm to one hundred percent of its original state, as long as you temper it for a few years, it will definitely not be any worse than your other arm," Yan Ze said, taking out a jade box and handing it to Xu Chi Huang.
One of Xu Chi Huang's arms was broken. The reason it hadn't been restored yet was not because Xu Chi Huang couldn't restore it, but because Xu Chi Huang had not been able to find a top-level spiritual object to repair his arm.
Although the Jade Toad Purple Lotus Root was not the most top-level treasure for repairing the physical body, it was much stronger than ordinary spiritual herbs. With Xu Chi Huang's strength, as long as he deliberately tempered and repaired his arm in the years to come, restoring it to the same state as before should not be a big problem.
"Thank you, Palace Lord Yan..." Xu Chi Huang accepted the jade box and bowed to thank him. Losing an arm did not greatly reduce his strength, but it greatly discounted his future prospects. In the past year or so, his cultivation had hardly improved.
Before Yan Ze could reply to Xu Chi Huang's words, a red flying sword shot in, the flying sword was for Xu Chi Huang.
Xu Chi Huang grabbed the flying sword and scanned the information on it with his divine sense. His expression changed immediately, and he said in a trembling voice, "Starry Sky Wharf has been breached, Starry Sky Palace has fallen. The cultivator army of my True Mo Continent has suffered heavy losses. At this moment, Palace Lord Wu is leading the remaining cultivator army to retreat to Wind Whisper City."
Hearing that the Starry Sky Palace had fallen, not only Xu Chi Huang, but even the Xia family and the Mu family, who were determined to kill Mo Wuji, had drastic changes in their expressions.
They wanted to seize control of Star Emperor Mountain, but they did not want True Star to be occupied by alien races. The reason why they dared to argue here and put pressure on several Star Lords loyal to Chi Tong was because they were sure that the Starry Sky Palace would not fall. Now that the Starry Sky Palace had actually fallen, this was completely contrary to their ideas.
"Hurry to Wind Whisper City..." Su Xuan exclaimed and was the first to rush out of the Star Lord Palace.
The others were in no mood to scheme against each other at this moment, and they rushed to the teleportation array to go to Wind Whisper City.
...
Half an hour later, in the City Lord's mansion of Wind Whisper City, everyone, including the exhausted Palace Lord of Star Mark Palace, Wu Lingzhi, had gathered here.
Wu Lingzhi was not only the Palace Lord of the Star Mark Palace, but also a loyal executor of Chi Tong's orders. After Chi Tong fell, when the palace lords shirked their responsibilities in order to preserve their strength and were unwilling to guard the Starry Sky Palace, he did not hesitate to lead the various Starry Sky cultivator armies to guard the periphery of the Starry Sky Palace.
"Palace Lord Wu, the Starry Sky Wharf is the gateway to my True Star. You were responsible for guarding the gateway, but you actually lost the Starry Sky Wharf and the Starry Sky Palace." A sturdy man with purple-red hair stood up and shouted sternly at a middle-aged man with messy hair and faint bloodstains on his body.
This middle-aged man was none other than Wu Lingzhi, the Palace Lord of the Star Mark Palace. The purple-red haired man who questioned him was named Chu Fengyi, the Palace Lord of the Star Fire Palace, the fifth palace of the Starry Sky Ten Palaces.
Wu Lingzhi's expression was not good, but he did not refute. He was not good at words and did not like infighting.
"You're farting." Wu Lingzhi did not refute, but that did not mean that no one would speak for him. The one who stood up this time was still Yan Ze, the Palace Lord of the seventh palace, Star Dock Palace.
After scolding Chu Fengyi for farting, Yan Ze pointed at Chu Fengyi and cursed, "You shrunken-turtle thing, back when the extraterrestrial Starry Sky Beasts and the Guno Star attacked my True Star cultivator army, Palace Lord Wu was the first to follow the Star Lord's orders and rush up. Later, some rats, in order to compete for the position of Star Lord and were afraid of depleting their own strength, all hid in Star Emperor Mountain. Palace Lord Wu was also the first to stand up and guard the outside of the Starry Sky Wharf. Chu Fengyi, you shrunken-turtle rat, what qualifications do you have to talk about Palace Lord Wu? I spit on you. If you're not convinced, challenge me, Yan Ze. I, Yan Ze, will take on any move you have."
Chu Fengyi snorted. He really wanted to fight Yan Ze immediately, but he didn't dare. Wu Lingzhi was not good at words and did not like infighting, but Yan Ze was not an easy person to deal with. He was at the fourth level of Human Immortal, just entering the middle stage of Human Immortal. Yan Ze was already at the peak of the fifth level of Human Immortal, about to enter the sixth level. Don't look at the Star Fire Palace ranking higher than the Star Dock Palace, he just didn't dare to deal with Yan Ze.
"Alright, now that foreign enemies are invading, the most important thing is to figure out how to protect True Star. And Palace Lord Yan, you and Palace Lord Chu are both Palace Lords of the Starry Sky Ten Palaces, there is no need to speak in such a tone, lest it hurt the feelings of fellow disciples," Xia Dandao stood up and said, seemingly as a peacemaker.
Yan Ze didn't buy Xia Dandao's account at all, and still said unceremoniously, "I've always had this temper. You, Xia Dandao, haven't become the Star Lord yet, so don't point fingers at me."
Cold air emanated from Xia Dandao's body, and his killing intent became fierce.
Seeing that a conflict was about to erupt, Su Xuan, the Palace Lord of the Star Sea Palace, took the initiative to say, "Palace Lord Wu, please explain why the Starry Sky Wharf suddenly fell?"
In fact, Su Xuan was also somewhat puzzled. The Starry Sky Wharf could be said to be a place where one man could hold the pass, and ten thousand men could not open it. If you didn't take the initiative to attack, it would be really difficult to attack this place.
Knowing that Su Xuan was easing the atmosphere, Xia Dandao also snorted coldly and did not continue to attack. He knew that if he continued to attack, he might not be able to gain much advantage. Although the Yan family outwardly did not support Chi Tong's last wish like him, the Yan family would definitely rush up and kick the Xia family when it was hit.
Wu Lingzhi nodded and said in a low voice, "Because the Starry Sky Wolf King suddenly appeared, that's why I was caught off guard. Not only that, Zhuo Mai has fallen in order to protect me."
Everyone fell silent. Zhuo Mai was at the third level of Human Immortal and could be said to be Wu Lingzhi's most capable helper, but he had actually fallen at the Starry Sky Wharf. Moreover, with the Starry Sky Wolf King coming out, even if they were all there, they might not be able to stop this guy.
Not to mention stopping the Starry Sky Wolf King, even Wind Whisper City might not be able to hold on.
"That's not right, the Starry Sky Wolf King appeared, why hasn't he attacked Wind Whisper City yet?" Su Xuan was the first to notice the problem.
Wu Lingzhi sighed and said, "The Starry Sky Wolf King came here to kill Mo Wuji. He should know that Mo Wuji has not returned to True Star, so after helping the Starry Sky Beasts and the Guno Star Knights to break through the Starry Sky Wharf, he immediately left the Starry Sky Wharf and didn't even enter the Starry Sky Palace."
Without Wu Lingzhi continuing to explain, everyone understood where the Starry Sky Wolf King had gone. He must have gone to the Starry Sky to find Mo Wuji. It was conceivable that as long as the Starry Sky Wolf King killed Mo Wuji, he would soon return to True Star. Even Xia Dandao and Yan Pingzhi hoped that the Starry Sky Wolf King would not find Mo Wuji so quickly.
Sure enough, Wu Lingzhi continued, "The Starry Sky Wolf King should have gone to find Mo Wuji. After I led the remaining cultivator army to retreat to Wind Whisper City, the first thing I did was to dismantle the teleportation array from Wind Whisper City to the Starry Sky Palace."
Hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With the teleportation array dismantled, even if the Starry Sky Wolf King returned, he would need to build a teleportation array first before attacking Wind Whisper City. It was not so easy to build a teleportation array from a distance.
Su Xuan stood up again and said, "My True Star has reached the most dangerous moment. If Wind Whisper City is breached again, my True Star will be plunged into an endless battle with the alien races until the destruction of my True Star native cultivators. I suggest that Palace Lord Wu of the Star Mark Palace serve as the temporary Star Lord of the Starry Sky Palace, reorganize the cultivator army, and drive the alien race cultivators out of the Starry Sky Palace."
"My Star Battle Palace agrees..." What was unexpected was that Xia Dandao was the first to stand up and agree.
"My Star Cloud Palace agrees." The second to stand up was Yan Pingzhi.
Following that, everyone agreed. Even Xu Chi Huang, who had always been very unhappy with the three major families, stood up and agreed.
However, everyone knew that Wu Lingzhi would never accept the position of Star Lord, not even temporarily. Wu Lingzhi did not like infighting or power struggles, and he was not suitable to be the Star Lord. Even the position of Palace Lord of the Star Mark Palace was forcibly designated by the previous Star Lord, Chi Tong.
It was precisely because of this that half of the Northern Star Army and the Star Mark Army under him were controlled by the Mu family.
The Xia family and the Yan family agreed to Su Xuan's proposal because they saw through that Wu Lingzhi would not accept the position of Star Lord. As long as Wu Lingzhi was modest and did not take on the position of Star Lord, they would not be too obvious if they opposed proposing others as Star Lord in the future.
To everyone's surprise, after everyone expressed their views, Wu Lingzhi actually stood up and said, "True Star is indeed at a time of life and death. Since everyone thinks highly of me, Wu Lingzhi, then I will serve as this temporary Star Lord. When a capable person comes, I, Wu Lingzhi, can give up the position of Star Lord at any time."
Without even a word of humility, Xia Dandao and Yan Pingzhi and others looked at each other in dismay. This wasn't how it was supposed to work.
