Xu Chihuang chuckled but there was no hint of a smile on his face as he said coldly, "Why does the Star Lord exist? If the Star Lord of the Star King Mountain couldn't bear the responsibility of Zhen Xing's safety and only cared about his own benefits or some bullsh * t personal benefits, then I, Xu Chihuang, don't know such a Star Lord.
The reason why Star Lord Chi could become the Star Lord wasn't because he was much stronger than the rest of you but because he wholeheartedly fought for the rise of Zhen Xing and worried about Zhen Xing's safety. He gave his life to Zhen Xing and even his last order was sent out for the sake of Zhen Xing's safety.
I believe everyone here is very clear that one year ago, when the Star Lord risked his life to protect Zhen Xing, where were all of you? Today, in order to fight for the position of the Star Lord, all of you came out and even forgot the Star Lord's dying wish. I, Xu Chihuang, would rather die in the Star Wars Battlefield than to be associated with all of you … "
After Xu Chihuang finished, he walked towards the entrance of the Star Lord Hall.
"Alright, I, Su Xuan, will also go to the Star Wars Battlefield. I've already lost enough face staying here to protect Zhen Xing with my mouth …"
"Defender Xu is right, I, Yan Ze, can't be bothered to stay here too. Zhen Xing is in imminent danger and it can't be said to be safe just by talking. "A long haired man followed behind Su Xuan and stood up.
Xia Dandao and Yan Pingzhi's faces turned ugly. Su Xuan was the hall master of the Star Sea Hall and controlled the Star Sea Army. And Yan Ze was the hall master of the seventh hall, Star Dock Hall and controlled the Star Dock Army. These two people agreed with Xu Chihuang and it was very disadvantageous for them.
"Defender Xu, I have a Purple Jade Toad Lotus here and I'll give it to you. I, Yan Ze, admire a man like you. Even though this Purple Jade Toad Lotus can't restore 100% of your arm to its original state, but after a few years of tempering, it definitely wouldn't be any weaker than your other arm. "After Yan Ze finished, he took out a jade box and handed it to Xu Chihuang.
One of Xu Chihuang's arms was broken. The reason why it hadn't recovered wasn't because Xu Chihuang couldn't recover, but because he couldn't find a top-notch fey to repair his arm.
Even though the Purple Jade Toad Lotus wasn't the peak grade spiritual item to restore his fleshly body, it was still much stronger than ordinary spiritual herbs. With Xu Chihuang's strength, it shouldn't be much of a problem for him to restore his arm to its original state as long as he deliberately tempered and repaired his arm in the next few years.
"Thank you, Hall Master Yan …" Xu Chihuang received the jade box and bowed to express his gratitude. Although losing an arm did not affect his strength much, his future prospects were greatly reduced. Over the past year or so, his cultivation had not improved at all.
Before Yan Ze could answer Xu Chihuang's words, a red flying sword flew in. This flying sword was for Xu Chihuang.
Xu Chihuang grabbed the flying sword and scanned through the information on it with his spiritual will. His expression changed instantly as he said with a trembling voice, "The Universal Pier has been breached and the Universal Hall has fallen. Our Zhen Mo Continent's cultivator army has suffered heavy losses and at this moment, Hall Master Wu has brought the remaining cultivator army to defend the Piercing Wind City. "
Hearing that the Universal Hall had fallen, not only Xu Chihuang, even the Xia Clan and Mou Clan, who were bent on killing Mo Wuji, had a drastic change in their expressions.
They wanted to control the Star King Mountain but they did not want Zhen Xing to be occupied by the foreign invaders. The reason why they dared to wrangle here and pressured the few Star Lords who were loyal to Chi Tong was because they were sure that the Universal Hall would not fall. Now that the Universal Hall had actually fallen, this was completely contrary to their expectations.
"Hurry to the Piercing Wind City …" Su Xuan exclaimed as she was the first to rush out of the Star Lord Hall.
The rest of the people also did not have the mood to scheme against each other as they all rushed towards the transfer array towards the Piercing Wind City.
…
Half an hour later, everyone, including the exhausted Star Trace Hall Master Wu Lingzhi, had gathered in the Piercing Wind City's Governor's Mansion.
Wu Lingzhi was not only the Star Trace Hall Master, he was also the loyal executor of Chi Tong's orders. After Chi Tong's death, the various hall masters were trying to conserve their strength and were unwilling to defend the Universal Hall. Wu Lingzhi did not hesitate to lead the various divisions of the cultivator army to defend the Universal Hall.
"Hall Master Wu, the Universal Pier is the gateway to our Zhen Xing. You were responsible for guarding the gateway but you actually failed to defend the Universal Pier and lost the Universal Hall." A purplish-red haired muscular man stood up and shouted at a middle-aged man with messy hair and faint bloodstains on his body.
This middle-aged man was the Star Trace Hall Master, Wu Lingzhi. And the purplish-red haired man who shouted at him was called Chu Fengyi, the Star Flame Hall Master of the Star Flame Hall.
Wu Lingzhi's face turned ugly but he did not refute. He was not good with words and he did not like internal strife.
"Bullsh * t." Wu Lingzhi did not refute but it did not mean that no one would speak up for him. This time, the one who stood up was still the seventh hall, Star Dock Hall Master Yan Ze.
After scolding Chu Fengyi for his bullsh * t, Yan Ze pointed at Chu Fengyi and scolded, "You coward. Back then, when the alien space beasts and Gu Nuo Planet attacked our Zhen Xing cultivator army, Hall Master Wu was the first to listen to the Star Lord's command and charge forward. Later on, some scoundrels fought for the position of the Star Lord but were afraid of wasting their own strength so they all hid in the Star King Mountain. It was also Hall Master Wu who stood out to guard outside the Universal Pier. You, Chu Fengyi, are just a coward so what rights do you have to talk about Hall Master Wu? Pei, if you're not convinced, you can challenge me, Yan Ze. I, Yan Ze, will take all your moves. "
Chu Fengyi grunted. He really wanted to duel with Yan Ze but he did not dare to. Wu Lingzhi was not good with words and did not like internal strife but Yan Ze was not someone to be trifled with. He was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4 and had just stepped into the intermediate Worldly Immortal Stage. On the other hand, Yan Ze was already at the peak of Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5 and was about to step into Level 6. Even though the Star Flame Hall was ranked higher than the Star Dock Hall, he still did not dare to go against Yan Ze.
"Alright, now that the alien domain is invading, we should think of ways to protect Zhen Xing. Also, Hall Master Yan, you and Hall Master Chu are both hall masters of the 10 Universal Halls so there's no need to speak in such a manner. Otherwise, you might hurt the feelings of your fellow sect members, "Xia Dandao stood out and said as if he was the peacemaker.
However, Yan Ze did not buy Xia Dandao's words as he said impolitely, "This old man's temper is like this. You, Xia Dandao, haven't become the Star Lord so don't point fingers at me."
Xia Dandao's entire body was emitting cold air as his killing intent intensified.
Seeing that a conflict was about to erupt, Star Sea Hall's Hall Master Su Xuan took the initiative to say, "Hall Master Wu, can you explain why the Universal Pier was suddenly lost?"
In reality, Su Xuan was also a little doubtful because the Universal Pier could be said to be a place where one man could hold out against ten thousand enemies. If one didn't initiate an attack and just guarded this place, it would really be hard to break in.
Knowing that Su Xuan was trying to ease the atmosphere, Xia Dandao grunted coldly and did not continue to flare up. He knew that if he continued to flare up, he might not be able to gain much of an advantage. Even though the Yan Clan did not support Chi Tong's dying wish on the surface, if the Xia Clan were to suffer any setbacks, the Yan Clan would definitely rush up and trample on them.
Wu Lingzhi nodded and said in a low voice, "Because of the Space Wolf King's sudden appearance, I was caught unprepared. Not only that, Zhuo Mai had already fallen to protect me. "
Everyone went silent because Zhuo Mai was in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3 and could be said to be Wu Lingzhi's most capable helper but he actually fell to the Universal Pier. Moreover, now that the Space Wolf King had appeared, even if they were all present, they might not be able to stop this fella.
There was no need to talk about stopping the Space Wolf King, they might not even be able to defend the Piercing Wind City.
"That's not right, since the Space Wolf King has appeared, why hasn't it reached the Piercing Wind City yet?" Su Xuan was the first to discover the problem.
Wu Lingzhi sighed and said, "The Space Wolf King came here to kill Mo Wuji and he should know that Mo Wuji didn't return to Zhen Xing so after he helped the space beasts and the Gu Nuo cavalry army to destroy the Universal Pier, he immediately left the Universal Pier and didn't even enter the Universal Hall."
Even without Wu Lingzhi's explanation, everyone knew where the Space Wolf King went. It must have gone to space to find Mo Wuji and one could imagine that once the Space Wolf King killed Mo Wuji, it would return to Zhen Xing very quickly. Even Xia Dandao and Yan Pingzhi hoped that the Space Wolf King wouldn't be able to find Mo Wuji so quickly.
Indeed, Wu Lingzhi continued, "The Space Wolf King should have gone to find Mo Wuji. After I brought the remaining cultivator army to defend the Piercing Wind City, the first thing I did was to dismantle the transfer array from the Piercing Wind City to the Universal Hall."
Hearing this, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Now that the transfer array was dismantled, even if the Space Wolf King returned, he would need to rebuild the transfer array first before attacking the Piercing Wind City. To build a transfer array across space was not an easy task.
Su Xuan stood up once again and said, "My Zhen Xing has already reached its most dangerous moment and if the Piercing Wind City is breached, my Zhen Xing would be embroiled in a never-ending war with the foreign invaders until all the cultivators in Zhen Xing perish. I suggest that Hall Master Wu of the Traceless Hall be the temporary Star Lord of the Universal Hall and reorganize the cultivator army to chase the foreign invaders out of the Universal Hall. "
"My Star Wars Hall agrees …" Nobody expected that Xia Dandao would actually be the first to stand up and agree.
"My Star Cloud Hall agrees," The second person to stand up was Yan Pingzhi.
Following which, the crowd started to agree and even Xu Chihuang, who had always been unhappy with the three big clans, also stood up to agree.
However, everyone knew that Wu Lingzhi would definitely not accept the position of Star Lord, even if it was a temporary one. Wu Lingzhi did not like to fight with others and even more so, he did not like to fight for power. Moreover, he was not suitable to be the Star Lord. Even the position of the Traceless Hall Master was forcefully appointed by the previous Star Lord, Chi Tong.
It was precisely because of this that half of the Northern Star Army and Traceless Army under him, a hall master, was actually controlled by the Mou Clan.
The Xia Clan and Yan Clan agreed to Su Xuan's suggestion because they knew that Wu Lingzhi would not accept the position of Star Lord. As long as Wu Lingzhi was humble and did not take up the position, then they wouldn't be too overboard if they objected to other people being the Star Lord in the future.
Unexpectedly, after everyone expressed their opinions, Wu Lingzhi actually stood up and said, "Zhen Xing is indeed in a life and death situation. Since everyone thinks highly of me, Wu Lingzhi, then I, Wu Lingzhi, will be the temporary Star Lord. When someone capable comes, I, Wu Lingzhi, can step down from the position of Star Lord at any time."
There wasn't even a word of modesty which made Xia Dandao, Yan Pingzhi and co. look at each other in dismay.
