Chapter 392: Star Lord Mo’s New Rule
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Universal Palace, the Star King Mountain’s encampment in the Universal Hall.
Presently, there were no empty seats in the Universal Palace and ever since Star Lord Chi Tong held a large scale meeting during the appearance of the Half Moon Immortal Palace, today was the first time the Universal Palace was so crowded.
Mo Wuji sat on the main seat in the Universal Palace while Su Xuan and Yan Ze sat on either side of him. Chi Huo’Er and Chanse stood respectfully behind him.
Before Mo Wuji spoke, the Universal Palace was extremely silent. Everyone here was aware that their Star Lord recently used his lightning magic skill to kill over billions of space beasts, turning the tide of the entire war in their favour single-handedly.
If there were still sects who weren’t convinced by this Star Lord’s capabilities previously, there would definitely be no one who would dare to think this way anymore.
Mo Wuji’s eyes swept across the entire Universal Palace and he noticed that there was almost no absentees here. When the foreign forces invaded the Universal Hall, none of the sect heads or experts were around but now that the foreign forces were defeated, all the sect heads and clan’s patriarchs arrived so quickly.
After he scanned through the entire Universal Palace, Mo Wuji laughed coldly in his heart. Previously, he didn’t care much about matters in Zhen Xing and furthermore, he simply used his huge cannon to snatch the Universal Hall back so he believed that there were still a lot of people who didn’t treat him as a Star Lord.
There were even some people who treated him as the second Chi Tong, who was not yet deserving of the same respect they had for Chi Tong. Because of Chi Tong’s status, he could still garner the support of the masses when needed but because Mo Wuji didn’t bother much about the administrative matters of Zhen Xing, many sects didn’t regard him highly.
”I believe everyone knows the reason why I gather all of us here. Not too long ago, the Gu Nuo Star Tribe formed an alliance with the demonic beasts from the Wolf King Mountain to attack the Universal Hall. Even though our Zhen Xing cultivator army managed to chase these foreign forces away eventually, we suffered tremendous losses. We started with about 4.2 million cultivators and ended the war with less than 2 million. As the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain, I feel responsible for these losses.”
Mo Wuji’s tone became very solemn which resulted in most of the sect heads lowering their heads in silence while listening to Mo Wuji’s speech. They knew that Mo Wuji was implying a hidden message with that sentence and that he was blaming them for not helping. However, such things were not abnormal to them because previously when Chi Tong was the Star Lord, every time there was a war, they were also guilty of not helping and eventually got away with it without any repercussions.
If they were to help every single time, who would replenish the resources each sect had exhausted during the war? Mo Wuji saw that nobody spoke up and was almost fuming inside. He was after all the big boss of Zhen Xing and even after he stood out to admit his mistake, none of the smaller boys actually wanted to share the responsibility. These group of fellas really thought that he was easy to bully.
After taking in a deep breath, Mo Wuji said again, ”This time round, even though my Star King Mountain, Vitality Sect, Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect and the cultivator army managed to get rid of the foreign invaders, who could guarantee that they wouldn’t come again? Furthermore, there was still the sect head of the Broken Sect and the Space Wolf King. Therefore, I’ve decided to revamp the rules of the Universal Hall as well as the Piercing Wind City.”
A few brighter sect heads had already noticed that something was off. That’s right, even though only the Vitality Sect and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect rendered help to fight the war, the fact that the Star Lord only mentioned these two sects meant that he was clearly offending the rest of the sects present.
Mo Wuji couldn’t be bothered about how those sect heads thought about his speech as he continued, ”To prevent these foreign invaders from entering Zhen Xing, I will reinvent the array gates at the Universal Pier. There are a total of nine array gates at the Universal Pier that leads to the Star Wars Battlefield while seven of the array gates were meant for the cultivator army to use during the Star Wars itself. During peacetime, there are only two array gates that can be used, one for entering and one for exiting.”
Everyone kept quiet because no matter how many array gates were opened to be used, it wouldn’t result in significant losses for any of them.
”In the future, every cultivator who wants to enter or exit the Star Wars Battlefield must have a new universal identity token of their own. Those who participated in the recent war against the foreign invaders will be given this new identity token for free and have the authority to enter or leave the Star Wars Battlefield anytime they want to.”
This sentence left the majority of the audience confused because from the onstart, the Star Wars Battlefield was free for everyone to enter and leave as they wished. They would at most be required to show their universal tokens before doing so. These sects and experts were easily able to get such tokens for whoever they wanted to so why must they exchange for a new one now? And by interpreting the Star Lord’s words, it seemed like they were still required to pay fees to make the new universal token?
Mo Wuji were not bothered by the thoughts of the other sects as he carried on, ”Because the Star King Mountain, Vitality Sect and the Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect participated in the recent war, all disciples of the Vitality Sect and Mysterious Smoky Sword Sect can collect their new universal identity token as well as enjoy the rights to enter and leave the Star Wars Battlefield at will without paying additional fees.”
”Star Lord, what about the cultivators of the other sects?” A middle-aged man stood up and asked while clasping his fist.
Chanse, who had been empowered by Mo Wuji since a long time ago, shouted furiously, ”What are you? How dare you ask a question without getting the permission of the Star Lord? And you didn’t even report your own sect. Scram out of the Piercing Wind City now.”
Everyone was shocked at his order. Out of the Piercing Wind City? Not just the Universal Palace? This meant that this fella had to leave the Universal Palace, Universal Hall and even out of the Piercing Wind City. And all this was just because he didn’t ask the Star Lord for permission to ask a question? This was simply too harsh right?
