Star Positions Gather
A howling strong wind swept past Tu Tian's ears.
He looked at Chen Ling, who had intercepted his War Flag with just one finger in front of him, and his pupils violently contracted!
How could this be possible??
He was already at Rank 7 now. Even if an ordinary Rank 8 ca, it would be impossible to intercept this full-force strike of the Path of Force so easily... Had Chen Ling's power actually beco terrifying to this extent?!
Although Tu Tian's mind went completely blank, his body's reaction was extrely fast. In the first mont, he held the War Flag and leaned back.
In the next second, a cold glint practically brushed past the tip of his nose!
If Tu Tian's movents weren't fast enough, this cold glint would probably have already chopped off his head.
Tu Tian's figure dodged backward continuously in the rain until he completely opened up distance from Chen Ling. Only then did he steady his figure with lingering palpitations... He looked at the figure in the Theatrical Robe holding an umbrella in the rain, and an indescribable sense of defeat surged into his heart.
In the past, when they were in the Tianshu Domain, he still had the power to fight Chen Ling. After growing for so long, Tu Tian thought he had improved fast enough. He didn't expect that when he exchanged blows with Chen Ling again, he couldn't even touch the corners of the other party's clothes!
Chen Ling didn't pay attention to what Tu Tian was thinking at all. He looked at the rain clouds above, directly raised his hand, and the Bone-Stripping Knife turned into a cold glint soaring into the sky, directly flying into the clouds.
Between the dim cloud layers, the phantom of a giant centipede could actually be vaguely seen, dancing like a swimming dragon!
"What are you going to do?!"
Tu Tian looked at the rain clouds in the sky. For so reason, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
"Is what I'm going to do any of your business?" Chen Ling narrowed his ruby-like eyes slightly and spoke faintly.
Tu Tian was just about to say sothing.
Right at this mont, a faint sound of an infant crying ca from the shop in the heavy rain.
Tu Tian and Chen Ling were both stunned and looked suspiciously at the shop beside them. The latter seed to have noticed sothing and casually kicked a pebble by his feet.
Swish—
The pebble tore through the air, directly shattering the wooden door plaque of the shop, and a tightly wrapped swaddling cloth fell from behind it!
The infant's crying beca clearer and brighter.
Chen Ling raised an eyebrow slightly.
So it was an infant... No wonder he didn't feel any fluctuation of thoughts nearby just now. Looking at it this way, there was a high probability that this child's father or Mother, in order to prevent soone from snatching the child after going out, had directly hidden them.
After all, in this sinful era plagued by famine, adults eating children was also a common occurrence.
But looking at it now, this child's parents most likely wouldn't be able to co back.
Tu Tian's movents were extrely fast. The mont the swaddling cloth fell from the door, he had already taken a step to directly underneath it, gently reaching out his hands to catch the infant...
But imdiately following that, a red snake directly darted out from above, wrapping around the swaddled infant in midair, and then swiftly retreated to the side!
They only saw the red snake curl back into Chen Ling's sleeve. Holding the umbrella with one hand, he lightly raised the other, steadily catching the infant in his hand.
His eyes lowered.
The infant's crying beca even more fierce.
"Chen Ling, give the child to ." For so reason, Tu Tian felt sowhat nervous upon seeing Chen Ling's gaze. He spoke in a deep voice, "Your Dusk Society shouldn't take in infants, right?"
"...Give them to you?"
Chen Ling's palm gently stroked the infant's head. The latter's sharp crying gradually quieted down. He said faintly, "Give them to you, and then what?"
"And then?" Tu Tian was stunned, and then answered, "Of course, take them back and have the orphanage help find soone to adopt them... If there aren't any in the Hidden Clouds Domain, there are always so in Tianshu or Spirit Void. No matter what, children are innocent."
"Oh."
Chen Ling nodded, and then lightly raised his hand, tossing the swaddling cloth to Tu Tian.
The taut string in Tu Tian's heart finally relaxed. He imdiately caught the swaddled infant with both hands. Just as he was about to say sothing else, his entire person froze in place.
At so unknown ti, the tiny figure in the swaddling cloth had fallen into a dead silence... completely ceasing to breathe.
No struggle, no pain, as if death was just an instant.
"You..."
Tu Tian held the infant's corpse, looking at Chen Ling in the rain in disbelief. His entire body actually began to tremble slightly from anger!!
"Chen Ling!! You won't even let off an infant?!!" Tu Tian widened his bloodshot eyes, his roar resounding through the clouds.
Chen Ling didn't answer. The rim of the Great Red Paper Umbrella covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression clearly. Only a pair of cinnabar earrings drifted and danced in the wind and rain...
Tu Tian was truly enraged. Although he didn't get along with Chen Ling in the past, they didn't actually have any deep-seated grudges... In fact, if it wasn't for Chen Ling, they might have already died in the battle for the Celestial Star Positions. After Chen Ling caused a huge commotion in the Wuji Domain, he had even joined the other owners of the Celestial Star Positions to defend Chen Ling...
He had never thought that Chen Ling was so sort of great villain, but what he saw and heard today... had completely overturned his perception of Chen Ling.
People...
Perhaps they really do change.
"Chen Ling... I absolutely won't let you off!!" Tu Tian's eyes were practically popping out of his sockets. He stomped one foot heavily on the ground, sending splashes of water flying in all directions. He pulled out sothing that looked like both a Talisman Scroll and a Talisman from his clothes and crushed it with two fingers!
An aura mixing the Path of the Scholar God and the Path of Strategy spread in the air...
"...En?"
Sensing this peculiar aura fluctuation, a look of surprise flashed through Chen Ling's eyes.
As the aura perated, the space around Tu Tian violently disturbed. It was as if so kind of mark was imprinted in the unseen world, like the target of a Pitch-pot. And at the sa ti, five distant auras began to echo it, approaching here straight like Arrows traversing space!!
Rip—!
The first rift appeared beside Tu Tian, and a black-clad youth directly crossed space, instantly appearing beside Tu Tian.
Chen Ling also knew this person. It was precisely the Path of Strategy among the six great Celestial Star Positions, [Pitch Pot] Li Shengn.
"It actually succeeded..."
Seeing that he had really transmigrated through space and been "thrown" over, Li Shengn also looked very pleasantly surprised. This was the first ti he had activated this ability.
Following Li Shengn, Pu Xiachan, Cui Ran, and the Young Sect Leader also appeared one after another... As the last rift opened, Li Qingshan's figure also walked out.
Seeing the situation around him, especially Chen Ling holding an umbrella in front of him, he was slightly stunned.
"Holy crap, we really can teleport long distances? Shengn, your ability is too aweso!" Pu Xiachan was equally pleasantly surprised seeing that she had been directly teleported here from the Tianshu Domain.
"This is Hidden Clouds right... why is there Gray World Energy?" Cui Ran frowned slightly.
"Is it the Talisman Tu Tian crushed? Where's the enemy?" The Young Sect Leader then asked.
"Exactly, I want to see just what kind of enemy is worthy of gathering our six great human Celestial Star Positions!" Pu Xiachan was already eager to try. She rubbed her fists, her eyes holding no fear of battle, only the excitent of facing an enemy together for the first ti!
Amidst the torrential downpour, Tu Tian slowly raised his hand... pointing at the red figure in the Theatrical Robe ahead.
"Everyone." A light chuckle rang out from the rain,
"...Long ti no see."
