Chapter 1678 - Starry General (1/2)

However, Zhang Ruochen discovered quickly that the ancient civilizations had all divided the interest. If he went to pick the saint fruit by himself, he might get attacked.

The Thousand Star Civilization was one of the top forces in the sect, so they could attack a pavilion alone.

The ones who’d attacked were the four Starry Generals on metal beasts.

They were each awesomely strong. The spears in their hands were Supreme Saint weapons and could activate a beam of Supreme Saint power.

Kaboom!

They kept striking with their spears, shattering the formation runes outside the pavilion. They pushed forward to attack the pavilion and pick the saint fruit.

Inside the pavilion, there was a very tall purple saint tree. A dozen cherry-sized white fruits grew on the tree. They were very fragrant and delicious-looking.

No cultivator dared to compete with the Thousand Star Civilization. The Starry Generals were all heartless and anyone who approached them would get killed.

Pushan, Li Qinghai, Mo Xiaogu, and Chou Gu stared at the saint fruit in the pavilion with desire. Everyone knew that the saint fruit definitely had shocking medicinal powers. If they ate one, their cultivation would improve vastly.

Gu Feng chuckled. “Hehe, you all just sit and wait. I’ll go pick the fruit! If you pa.s.s by the treasures here, you’ll never encounter them again!”

Gu Feng rushed toward one of the pavilions.

Li Qinghai, Mo Xiaogu, and the others grew tempted.

But what happened next extinguished all their thoughts of picking fruit.

Gu Feng’s goal was actually the pavilion that was given to the Thousand Star Pavilion. As soon as he got close, he was attacked by a Starry General. An ancient spear almost penetrated his body.

Kaboom!

“Get out,” the Starry General said coldly. “Or die.”

Gu Feng clenched his jaw. He was furious, but in the end, he chose to retreat. He didn’t fight with the Starry General. He went to a second pavilion but had the same result. He was attacked as soon as he got close.

Anyone who could enter this palace cl.u.s.ter was a strong figure.

In the end, Gu Feng slunk back. Feeling embarra.s.sed, he stood with his hands hidden in his sleeves. He was silent and had a dark expression.

They were all aides invited by the Ancient Civilization Sect. They’d already gotten paid before coming, so they naturally weren’t qualified to pick saint fruit now.

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment. Then he stepped toward the four Starry Generals.

Li Qinghai, Mo Xiaogu and the others were surprised. Even the strong Gu Feng had failed, but Lin Yue hadn’t given up?

Gu Feng leered, ready to watch Zhang Ruochen fail.

Zhang Ruochen walked to the outside of the pavilion and icy Qi rushed toward him. It was about to freeze him.

Zhang Ruochen looked toward the source of the Qi. He saw a Starry General stare at him with emotionless eyes.

However, the Starry General recognized him as the guest of the Maiden, so he didn’t attack directly.

Zhang Ruochen was stunned. The Starry General’s aura was even stronger than he imagined. No wonder even someone as arrogant as Gu Feng would be intimidated.

The Thousand Star Maiden sat inside her carriage and could see everything. She sent out a Spiritual Power message. “Don’t attack him. I’d like to see if he can steal the saint fruit from you all.”

The Starry General looked away. He picked up his spear and continued attacking the formation runes, allowing Zhang Ruochen to stay nearby.

Seeing this, Gu Feng’s smile froze. The coldness in his eyes grew.

Li Qinghai and the others felt incredulous, thinking that Lin Yue must have a special relations.h.i.+p with the Thousand Star Civilization. Could he really be a cultivator of the civilization?

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to get rewards without work, so he opened his Divine Eyes and investigated the runes underground and in the air. Then he formed a spatial crack and struck the weakest part of the formation.

Crack, crack.

The spatial crack flew by and the formation runes were cut all the way to the palace walls.

When the spatial crack closed, a safe path had appeared under his feet. Zhang Ruochen walked on the path and actually entered the pavilion before the four Starry Generals. He surveyed his surroundings and darted at the saint fruit.

Kaboom!

The four Starry Generals riding metal beasts jumped over the tall palace walls and chased after him. They quickly caught up.

He suddenly discovered something and stopped. “Careful!” he cried.

The four Starry Generals ignored Zhang Ruochen and continued charging. They wore the Starry Armor, so they didn’t fear any danger. However, the Thousand Star Maiden sent a message to order them to stop.
