Chapter 352: The Fall of Universal Pier
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Xu Chihuang laughed out loud yet he said with a serious face, ”What’s the point of having a Star Lord? If the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain cannot take responsibility for Zhen Xing’s safety and was only concerned about his own personal benefits or sh*tty private motive, I, Xu Chihuang, will never recognise him as the Star Lord.
Star Lord Chi could become the Star Lord not because he was much stronger than any of you here but because he had always fought hard and worry about Zhen Xing’s welfare. He gave his life to Zhen Xing and even his last order was given to protect the safety of Zhen Xing.
I believed everyone was aware about where and what each and everyone of you were doing when the Star Lord was fighting his life away to protect Zhen Xing a year ago. Now that we had to choose a successor, each and everyone of you appeared and even choose to forget about the Star Lord’s will. I, Xu Chihuang, rather fight to death in the Star Wars Battlefield than to shame myself to fight for any of you…”
Finishing, Xu Chihuang walked straight out of the entrance of the Universal Hall.
”Alright, I, Su Xuan, will go to the Star Wars Battlefield too. I am already too shameless to have spent so long talking about protecting Zhen Xing here…”
”Defender Xu was right. I, Yan Ze, am also getting sick of staying here. Zhen Xing is in a precarious position and it wouldn’t get safer just by talking,” A long hair man stood up after Su Xuan.
Xia Dandao and Yan Pingzhi’s expression remained ugly because Su Xuan was the hall master of the Star Sea Hall and she controlled the Star Sea Army. On the other hand, Yan Ze was the hallmaster of the 7th hall, Star Dock Hall and he controlled the Star Dock Army. The combined forces of these two people together with Xu Chihuang would make it unfavourable towards Xia Dandao and Yan Pingzhi.
”Defender Xu, this Purple Jade Toad Lotus Flower is for you. I, Yan Ze, respect a man like you. Even though this Purple Jade Toad Lotus Flower would not recover your arm to how it was originally, as long as you temper it for a few years, it would definitely not be any weaker than your other arm,” After saying that, Yan Ze passed a jade box to Xu Chihuang.
The reason why Xu Chihuang’s broken arm had not recovered was simply because he wasn’t able to find a peak grade spiritual herb to aid the recovery.
Even though the Purple Jade Toad Lotus was not considered to be a peak grade treasure for recovery, it was a lot stronger than average spiritual herbs. Given Xu Chihuang’s strength, as long as he was focused his recovery for the next few years, it wouldn’t be too much of a problem for his arm to return to its original state.
”Many thanks Hall Master Yan…” Xu Chihuang took over the jade box and bowed in appreciation. Even though losing an arm didn’t make him lose his strength, it would definitely be a future obstacle for him. In over a year, his cultivation level didn’t seem like it improved much either.
Yan Ze didn’t have time to reply Xu Chuhuang before a red flying sword flew into Xu Chihuang’s hand.
Xu Chihuang grabbed the flying sword and used his spiritual will to read the message and his expression changed before saying in a trembling tone, ”The Universal Pier was successfully invaded and the Universal Hall fell. There were heavy losses for our Zhen Mo Continent and now Hall Master Wu is retreating with the wounded cultivators to the Piercing Wind City.”
Hearing that the Universal Hall fell, it wasn’t only Xu Chihuang but even the Xia Clan and Mou Clan’s expression changed drastically.
They wanted to control the Star King Mountain, not get controlled by foreign tribes. They were only here arguing and pressuring the few Chi Tong’s loyalties to appoint a new Star Lord because they were confident the Universal Hall won’t fall. Now that the Universal Hall had actually fallen, it turned out to be the exact opposite of what they expected.
”Hurry to the Piercing Wind City…” Su Xuan exclaimed and was the first to rush out of the Star Lord Hall.
The rest were not in the mood to continue arguing with each other as they all hurried towards the transfer array to the Piercing Wind City.
…
After an hour, in the main residence of the Piercing Wind City, most of the people including the exhausted Hall Master Wu of the Star Trace Hall were gathered here. Wu Lingzhi was not only the hall master of the Star Trace Hall, he was also Chi Tong’s most loyal enforcer. After the fall of Chi Tong, while all the respective hall masters were fighting for power and unwilling to protect the Universal Hall, Wu Lingzhi didn’t hesitate as he brought the various departments of the Cultivator Army to guard the periphery of the Universal Hall.
”Hall Master Wu, the Universal Pier was the portal of our Zhen Xing and while you’re responsible to guard the portal, you actually failed and let to the fall of the Universal Hall,” A robust looking man with purplish red hair stood up and shouted at this middle-aged man with messy hair and some faint blood stains on his body.
This middle-aged man was indeed the Star Trace Hall’s Hall Master, Wu Lingzhi. And the person with purplish red hair who shouted at him was called Chu Fengyi the hall master of the fifth hall, Star Flame Hall.
Wu Lingzhi’s expression didn’t look good but he didn’t refute as he wasn’t a talkative person in nature hence, didn’t like to argue with people too.
”You fart,” Just because Wu Lingzhi didn’t refute didn’t mean that others would not speak up for him and the person who stood up for him was the Hall Master Yan Ze of the 7th hall, Star Dock Hall. After scolding Chu Fengyi, Yan Ze pointed at Chu Fengyi and continued his reprimand, ”You scum, back then when the alien space beasts and Gu Nuo Star Tribe attacked our Zhen Xing’s Cultivator Army, Hall Master Wu was the first person to charge out upon signal. Afterwards, to snatch for the throne of the Star Lord as well as prevent the loss of their own power, a few mice hid at the Star King Mountain while Hall Master Wu was also the first to defend the Universal Pier. You, Chu Fengyi, are merely a small mouse so who are you to say that of Hall Master Wu? Pui, if you’re not willing to submit, challenge me, Yan Ze, and I will welcome any tricks of yours.”
