"Not paying attention yourself, and you bla ." Closing the door, Su Chen muttered to himself, "Grinning with such a big mouth, those who didn't know would think he had gone mad."
Shaking his head, Su Chen left on his own. It wasn't until this mont that he had the ti to consider the situation of his previous collision with Qin Yun. "Although my Profession is two-in-one, Limit Break can still take effect, forcefully elevating it. However, the aftereffects are also borne by the unified Profession."
Originally, Limit Break only elevated physical Professions, and ntal Professions could remain unaffected. But for him, it didn't really matter. The burst ti back then was extrely short, so the impact wasn't big. He estimated it shouldn't take long to recover.
"As for Sky-Scars, not only is the consumption extrely exaggerated, it also can't take effect continuously on its own..."
The temporary command post was a scene of busyness. Because they were dealing with the crisis of the Royal Court's incoming attack, too many ergency orders had been issued previously. While maintaining vigilance to avoid the Royal Court turning back to strike, they were gradually being lifted.
At the sa ti, they had to recall the portion of personnel that had already evacuated, and disseminate the news that the danger was resolved to the Life Stars in all dominions as quickly as possible, to avoid causing panics, riots, and the like.
There were truly too many things that needed to be done. Everyone seed to have sothing to keep them busy.
However, when Su Chen ca down from the second floor, he still caused quite a few people to stop in their tracks. The Sect mbers who could be here, even the youngest ones, were several cycles older than Su Chen.
Looking at Su Chen, who was so youthful, vigorous, and full of life vitality, just like the newly rekindled Starfire, they were all filled with myriad emotions.
Su Chen paused his steps, seeing Ku Boye being lifted into a coffin.
"Senior Brother Qing Cang is right, this can already be considered a Joyous Funeral." Lin Langtian stood by his side, saying in a low voice: "For soone like Senior Brother Ku, to be able to burn once for the Sect right before his death is already a trendous comfort."
There were more people who could only wait to die in obscurity at the end of their lives; their era had long since passed.
It was only during their funerals that the younger generation would be startled to realize that there was actually such a person in a certain era.
"Head of Seat Lin." Su Chen greeted, and said softly: "Birth, aging, sickness, and death, the cycle of life."
Even the 9th-Tier, Morning Stars, and even Radiant Moons could not avoid it.
Although Morning Star and the 9th-Tier seed like one Tier difference, many people almost never put them side-by-side. There were many reasons, and Lifespan was definitely one of the most important ones.
The difference in conventional lifespan between the two was 400 years, which was already two-thirds of the life length of a 9th-tier Class User.
He wondered, was there such a thing as endless life... People are all greedy, even Su Chen was no exception.
Lin Langtian's gaze looking at Su Chen was quite complex. He still rembered the first ti he saw Su Chen; the other party had also just co out from the Barren Planet.
He had even suspected whether his daughter was romantically involved with the other party. Calculating it fully, only four or five years had passed since then.
Looking at Su Chen, who even after just withstanding a strike from Qin Yun, still didn't have any look of complacency, a thought couldn't help but burst forth in his heart.
If only his daughter truly had been romantically involved with the other party back then, how wonderful would that be.
What a pity...
Naturally, Su Chen didn't know his inner sighs. He asked sowhat curiously: "Head of Seat Lin, I wonder what exactly happened regarding the Royal Court's incoming attack, and how was Qin Yun let out?"
Coming out of the Flare Realm, he was imdiately t with Qin Yun's head-on strike. To this day, he still didn't know what had specifically happened outside.
Lin Langtian was happy to explain to Su Chen. The two found a quiet place, and he roughly recounted the events.
"Galaxy Throne?"
A Sharp Gleam flickered in Su Chen's eyes, "The Royal Court actually had this kind of thing. What a pity it couldn't be left behind."
"Indeed." Lin Langtian also nodded, then laughed again, "However, leaving it behind wouldn't be that simple either. That was rely the Ancient King's Phantom Image after all. If we truly went out in pursuit, the risk would still be too great. Being able to force the Black Tortoise King to fall is already not bad."
"That old tortoise..." Lin Langtian paused, "Although he looks like he's nearing death from old age, I estimate he could still live for another three to four hundred years."
"Several hundred years?" Su Chen was astonished. This was already approaching half the life length of a Morning Star.
Lin Langtian nodded: "Long-Lived Xuan Yuan Great Tortoise, this Profession is exactly like this. Its combat power isn't high, but its lifespan is extrely long. If supplented with so special Professions, it can be extended to an extrely terrifying length, even surpassing Radiant Moons."
"Its popularity within the Royal Court even far exceeds Professions like God-Defier. I'm afraid it will cause quite a scramble, however..."
Speaking up to here, Lin Langtian also had so doubts, "Although the Ancient King's Phantom Image needs to be treated with caution, they did have the Galaxy Throne on them after all. If they deployed properly, with the three Morning Stars taking turns, there was a chance they could all leave calmly without any of them dying."
"Perhaps they were afraid we still had thods to forcefully keep them here." Su Chen speculated.
Lin Langtian nodded: "There is indeed this possibility."
Since the matter had already passed, he didn't delve deeper into it. His gaze fell upon Su Chen, carrying a bit of solemnity: "I guard the outside year-round, it's rare for to co back. I wonder when Star Seed Su has ti, let's have a casual al together."
"My daughter, Lin Yue, can also be considered an old acquaintance of yours."
His invitation looked quite solemn, seemingly not treating Su Chen as a Junior Generation at all.
Su Chen was surprised, then laughed: "You just pick the ti."
...
"Brother Chu has arrived!"
In the eting room of the Royal Court's flagship, as soon as Chu Lingyuan pushed the door and entered, he saw the Prison-Suppressing King's face carrying an enthusiastic smile, "Please sit."
He personally pulled out a chair for Chu Lingyuan, inviting him to sit.
Imdiately after, Li Qingyi, Wu Yue, and the others were also seen walking in one after another.
The Prison-Suppressing King's expression withdrew. He had only invited Chu Lingyuan alone; this group of people had clearly moved upon hearing the news.
"You all are quite well-inford." His expression wasn't like when he had pressured Chu Lingyuan with Qin Yun's matter. Towards Wu Yue and the others, he instead appeared sowhat indifferent.
"With a wave of your hand, you've trapped us all here. We naturally need to know exactly what sches you are plotting in your secret etings." Wu Yue spoke very impolitely.
The Prison-Suppressing King didn't debate this matter either. He rely paced behind Chu Lingyuan, saying slowly: "Not long ago, news just arrived that Lu Feng and the others have already arrived outside the Bronze Sect and are currently negotiating with Qing Cang."
"So fast?" Chu Lingyuan's expression slightly changed. "The mont you woke up, you were plotting this matter."
Deducing the ti slightly backwards, Chu Lingyuan figured it out, his face also growing increasingly ugly.
During this period, he hadn't been sitting and waiting for death either, constantly thinking of ways to leave here as quickly as possible.
However, the place they chose to hold the Ritual was extrely hidden. They had co here via spaceship navigation. The distance to the nearest transit hub, if they didn't use Star Gates, would take at least three or four months of travel across space.
He had also brought Materials and engineering equipnt for constructing a miniature Star Gate, but the Prison-Suppressing King obviously wouldn't just watch idly.
Chu Lingyuan had already thought of a thod, but before he could implent it, they had actually already attacked his doorstep.
"I swore a toxic oath in the Flare Realm that I must subject Qin Yun to Grinding Bones and Scattering Ashes in order to dispel the hatred in my heart." The Prison-Suppressing King's voice suddenly turned cold:
"You can only bla Qin Yun for not handling things cleanly. If he had killed as well, then there wouldn't be today's matter."
Chu Lingyuan was expressionless. "Will you be satisfied with just subjecting Qin Yun to Grinding Bones and Scattering Ashes?"
The Prison-Suppressing King Remain Noncommittal, but beca much more solemn, saying seriously: "Representing the Vast Sea Emperor, I sincerely invite Brother Chu to join my Royal Court."
"Join you?" Chu Lingyuan narrowed his cold eyes.
"That's right. I think the Bronze Core side will make the sa choice. I don't know what Brother Chu thinks of us, but we absolutely didn't go there with any thoughts of subversion, slaughter, or the like." The Prison-Suppressing King spoke extrely sincerely.
But Chu Lingyuan already understood their thoughts, sneering in mockery: "First, use Qin Yun's wickedness to make the other Sects watch on coldly in this matter, then prepare to breach the Bronze Sect with the montum of a thunderbolt."
"Force us to join you. By then, even if Master returns, it won't be easy to lash out, and he might even only be able to accept this reality while Pinching One's Nose. You've played a good calculation."
Hearing this, the expressions of Wu Yue and the others couldn't help but beco subtle.
The reason they responded with silence previously was, on one hand, because Qin Yun was indeed disgusting.
On the other hand, it was because of the collision between the Bronze Sect and the Royal Court. Even if the Bronze Sect was subverted in the end, the Royal Court would definitely suffer damage because of it.
But if the Royal Court was planning on completely accepting them, then that was a different story.
The Prison-Suppressing King said indifferently: "Please rest assured, Brother Chu. When Lu Feng and the others went, we had already discussed it. If we can avoid killing a single person, we won't kill a single person. Even if we accidentally injure one person, we will bring out ten tis, a hundred tis the compensation."
Chu Lingyuan remained silent for a long while, and said coldly: "It seems you think you have us completely beaten. Don't forget, you only have over two months left. Additionally..."
Thinking up to here, Chu Lingyuan suddenly realized sothing was wrong again and looked up at Wu Yue and the others.
For the Prison-Suppressing King to state this plan right now, wasn't he afraid that these people would change their minds and go to rescue them?
"You seem very confident in breaching the Bronze Core within a short ti." Chu Lingyuan pointed out aningfully.
The Prison-Suppressing King chuckled: "Even if there's a problem with the Starfire, we wouldn't dare to underestimate the Bronze Sect's Core. That's why when Lu Feng left, he brought the Galaxy Throne along."
"Galaxy Throne?"
Not just Chu Lingyuan, the expressions of the other several people all changed. Qi Heng said in astonishnt: "You even took this kind of thing out, aren't you afraid sothing might happen in the Royal Capital?"
"Only like this can we show the determination of my Royal Court." The Prison-Suppressing King's expression grew increasingly sincere as he pointed at Wu Yue and the others. "Brother Chu, look at these people. What you call Sa Breath and Branches... Now that the Bronze Sect's crisis of subversion is imminent, they all sit and watch."
"They even harbor thoughts of the fisherman reaping the benefits. Are you willing to see their thoughts succeed?"
The faces of Wu Yue and the others instantly turned very ugly. The Royal Court had previously wanted to borrow their montum to pressure Chu Lingyuan, and now they were turning around and accusing them of watching on coldly.
Chu Lingyuan's brows locked tightly. If the Bronze Core was breached, then the Radiant Moon and Morning Star Spirits would all fall under the Royal Court's control. Even if Qing Cang preferred death to surrender, the others might not have such great courage.
Especially those with families and households, coupled with the benefits promised by the Royal Court...
"It seems Brother Chu is still unwilling." The Prison-Suppressing King suddenly said again. rely relying on In a Few Words definitely wouldn't make Chu Lingyuan imdiately join the Royal Court.
He rely said: "How about this, if the vast majority of the Bronze Sect are willing to integrate into the Royal Court, then Brother Chu shouldn't go against everyone's opinion either, is that acceptable?"
Regardless of the situation, it needed to be result-oriented. All he needed to do was reduce the resistance in Chu Lingyuan's heart.
"Otherwise..." He seed to say helplessly, "I can only Pinching One's Nose and take Qin Yun as the head of the Bronze Sect."
Qing Cang, Chu Lingyuan, and Qin Yun, the three disciples of the Ancient King. If any one of them joined the Royal Court, things would be easy to handle.
If neither Qing Cang nor Chu Lingyuan were willing, then he could only reserve the last choice, Qin Yun.
He believed Qin Yun would definitely agree, but in that case, he could only watch Qin Yun live on.
"Qin Yun?" Chu Lingyuan's eyebrows jumped. "You even colluded with Qin Yun??"
"Prison-Suppressing, Qin Yun must die!" Wu Yue abruptly stood up.
"Of course he will die, but when he dies, that can only be decided by my Royal Court." The Prison-Suppressing King said indifferently, then looked at Chu Lingyuan again. "Brother Chu, consider it carefully."
The Prison-Suppressing King returned to the main seat. The atmosphere was sowhat silent for a ti. Li Qingyi and the others locked their brows tightly, all considering the impact after the Bronze Sect joined the Royal Court.
Right at this mont, a hurried knocking on the door broke the silence.
"Co in." The Prison-Suppressing King said indifferently.
The person who ca in seed to be a communications soldier. His expression was originally sowhat hurried, and as soon as he entered he said: "Your Excellency, the Bronze Sect's side..."
Before his voice could fall, he saw the other people sitting in the eting room. His voice instantly stopped, and he lowered his head.
"There's a result from the Bronze Sect's side, so fast..." The Prison-Suppressing King's eyes flickered slightly; Lu Feng's movents were very fast.
He said carelessly, "Speak, there are no outsiders here."
Pairs of eyes converged on this communications soldier. Those present were all Morning Star Venerables. Cold sweat broke out on the communications soldier's forehead, but he gritted his teeth, not daring to speak.
The Prison-Suppressing King frowned, faintly realizing sothing wasn't right. Before he could speak.
He heard Li Qingyi's soft voice transmit over: "Speak."
This voice seed to possess a demonic power, pouring into the ears of that communications soldier. His expression dazed for a mont, then he spoke blankly:
"Latest news, the Bronze Sect's Starfire has rekindled. To protect His Highness Han Xiao and the others in retreating, the Black Tortoise King fell on the Galaxy Throne."
"What?"
The Prison-Suppressing King's expression changed abruptly. He stood up suddenly, and sounds of rattling Chains ca from within his body.
The Starfire rekindled? The Black Tortoise King fell?
Chu Lingyuan's heart palpitated, and even he felt a sense of it being Unimaginable.
This...
Sensing the pairs of eyes looking over, he forcefully kept himself calm and slowly let out a breath, appearing as if everything was under his control.
Seeing his calm appearance, Wu Yue coldly snorted in his heart, suspecting whether this Starfire had long since improved, but the Bronze Sect deliberately hadn't announced it externally, just preparing to dig a huge pit for soone.
Li Qingyi's gaze flickered slightly, and she asked softly: "How is the specific situation?"
The communications soldier, acting as if he was being controlled, said blankly: "The God-Defying King utilized the Galaxy Throne, forcing Qing Cang to use the thod the Bronze Ancient King left as a Legacy to deal with it, originally holding the advantage."
"However, at a critical mont, the Bronze Sect's Star Seed Su Chen ca out of the Starfire. He is suspected to have resolved the Crisis of the Flas, and the Starfire recovered its energy supply."
Su Chen?
When everyone heard this na, their expressions all changed sowhat for a ti.
Wu Yue's expression was cold and desolate. This youngest Star Pri had already completely stolen the show at the Peak Star Tournant.
"Truly trash. Talking about holding the winning ticket, yet the result is this kind of outco." He mocked impolitely. It was both a counterattack against the Prison-Suppressing King's attitude just now, and also hating him for his incompetence.
"What about Qin Yun?" Qi Heng suddenly asked. The Royal Court had also colluded with Qin Yun, did he not play any role at all?
"At the critical mont, Qin Yun intended to attack Su Chen, but was blocked by him. Then he was jointly suppressed by the Bronze Sect's Heads of Seats, and later slain by Qing Cang."
The communications soldier spoke without any emotional fluctuations, but when it fell into the ears of the several people, it was no less than a peal of explosive thunder.
