As more and more cultivators charged out of the Piercing Wind City, Xia Dandao suddenly shouted, "No one is allowed to charge out and die. Can't you see that they have an Earthly Immortal Stage expert? Charging out would only result in death … As the hall master of the Star King Mountain's Star Wars Hall, I order everyone to defend the Piercing Wind City's defensive array. Our Zhen Xing must not be rash and send all our forces out of the Piercing Wind City. "
The cultivators that were prepared to charge out were stunned. Xia Dandao was the hall master of the Star King Mountain's number one hall, the Star Wars Hall, and was also the Patriarch of the Xia Clan. The Star Wars Army, one of the 10 armies of Zhen Mo, was under his control. Other than that, the fifth hall master, Chu Fengyi, was also on the Xia Clan's side.
Even without considering all these, Xia Dandao's personal strength was probably the number one person here. Worldly Immortal Stage Level 8, other than the original Star Lord Chi Tong and a few elders who weren't in the Star King Mountain, he was the number one.
Previously, when Su Xuan and Yan Ze didn't charge out, they could still suppress Xia Dandao. Now that the two of them had charged out, who would dare to defy Xia Dandao's orders?
If they dared to defy Xia Dandao's orders, they wouldn't even need to charge out to fight the foreign invaders. They would probably die in Xia Dandao's hands before they could even charge out of the Piercing Wind City.
Not everyone was afraid of Xia Dandao. Just as the surroundings fell into silence, a figure charged out and stood at the very top, pointing and scolding Xia Dandao, "Xia Dandao, you traitor. You colluded with the foreign invaders. It was because of your and the Yan Clan's selfishness that Star Lord Chi Tong perished outside the Universal Pier. It was also because of your despicable plot that Star Lord Wu was killed … Today, you actually dare to stop my Zhen Xing's hot-blooded cultivators from protecting Zhen Xing and fighting for the survival of Zhen Xing … "
A few cultivators who wanted to charge out to kill the foreign invaders were secretly cheering. Everyone recognised this cultivator who scolded Xia Dandao. This was the defender of the Star King Mountain, a hot-blooded and just Star Lord, a Worldly Immortal Stage expert who was wholeheartedly loyal to Zhen Xing, Xu Chihuang.
However, before Xu Chihuang could finish speaking, multiple beams of light locked onto him. Xia Dandao even sent a hand blade towards him.
Xu Chihuang was originally at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1. Back then, he had lost an arm, but now, he had barely recovered. Now that the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 8 expert, Xia Dandao, was attacking him and there were other Worldly Immortal Stage experts locking onto him, he had no way of resisting at all. He barely managed to move his body before he was cleaved into two by Xia Dandao.
A Worldly Immortal Stage expert from Zhen Xing was killed just because he said a few words. Everyone's heart turned cold.
The edge of the Piercing Wind City's defensive array was terrifyingly silent. The sounds of fighting outside were like ridicule, forming a sharp contrast.
Xia Dandao's gaze swept across the crowd as he said coldly, "Now that our Zhen Xing is facing a life and death crisis, Xu Chihuang actually framed a hall master of the Star King Mountain for his own selfish reasons. That's right, I know what he meant. If his strength reached Worldly Immortal Stage Level 4, No, even if he was only at Worldly Immortal Stage Level 3, I would still agree if he wanted to be the Star Lord. However, his strength was simply too low to be a Star Lord. Moreover, with Zhen Xing's current crisis, we definitely cannot treat this matter lightly. "
Xu Chihuang stood out to oppose Xia Dandao, but Xia Dandao actually said that Xu Chihuang wanted to be the Star Lord.
The surroundings were still silent. Besides the fighting outside the Piercing Wind City's defensive array, no one else stood out to speak.
Xia Dandao slowed down his tone, "Now that Star King Mountain's Star Lord Wu Lingzhi has been plotted against, Zhen Xing is in a precarious situation. We definitely cannot lose our composure and charge out like we did just now. Other than a momentary rush, what use is there for Zhen Xing? This is a plate of loose sand. What we want is not a momentary rush, but to protect Zhen Xing's safety. "
"I, Chu Fengyi, represent the Star Flame Hall to agree with Hall Master Xia's words. Hall Master Xia is right, now is definitely not the time for a momentary rush. I agree with Hall Master Su and Hall Master Yan's passion, but I don't agree with their methods. This cannot be blamed on them. After all, we don't have a Star Lord now, so we don't have a unified command for everything. I recommend Star Wars Hall's Hall Master Xia Dandao to be the new Star Lord of Star King Mountain. Those who agree with me, please step forward. We cannot wait any longer. If we wait any longer, Zhen Xing will be destroyed. "
A muscular man with purple-red hair stood up and called out in a clear voice.
Many people recognised this man. He was Star King Mountain's Star Flame Hall's Hall Master Chu Fengyi, a fella who had always been on the same side as the Xia Clan.
After Chu Fengyi finished speaking, many people immediately stood up to support Xia Dandao to be the Star Lord. These voices of support for Xia Dandao to be the Star Lord mostly came from the Star Wars Army.
Some sect heads and elders could only sigh in their hearts. This method of electing a Star Lord was simply a joke. There was no need to talk about the fact that many of the ten halls weren't here. Even if they were here, who would dare to disagree?
It was truly a pity that no one from the Yan Clan was here. If Yan Pingzhi was here, he would definitely go against the Xia Clan.
"I believe that the matter of the Star Lord should be discussed at length. It would be best if we wait for most of the hall masters and sect heads to be here before electing the Star Lord," A middle aged man stood up and said in a tone that was neither overbearing nor servile.
Hearing this, the killing intent in Xia Dandao's eyes flashed. When he saw who this person was, he retracted his killing intent.
Gu Qiao, the hall master of the eighth hall, Star Hall. He was a loyal supporter of the Mou Clan, and he was even in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 5.
The Mou Clan had a portion of the Northern Star Army, and with Gu Qiao's support, their power was no weaker than the Xia Clan. He didn't dare to use the method he used on Xu Chihuang against Gu Qiao. To put it bluntly, Xu Chihuang was merely a defender. After the death of the Star Lord, he was basically alone. Gu Qiao had the support of a strong cultivator army and the Mou Clan.
"Even though Hall Master Gu's words are reasonable, we have to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. What kind of situation is it now? Could it still be the same as usual? Hall Master Xia, I represent all of Zhen Xing's cultivators to request you to be the Star Lord of Star King Mountain. Please consider for our Zhen Xing, and not let Zhen Xing continue to be destroyed like this. "Chu Fengyi didn't even give Gu Qiao's supporters a chance to speak up.
When the sect heads and elders heard this, they sneered in their hearts. You, Chu Fengyi, represent all of Zhen Xing's cultivators? What rights do you have to represent us, and we don't need you to represent us. However, against Xia Dandao's power, no one dared to speak up.
When Gu Qiao heard this, he knew that things were going to be bad. Before he could continue speaking, Xia Dandao stood up, "Since that's the case, I will temporarily assume the role of Star King Mountain's Star Lord, and take on the responsibility of protecting Zhen Xing. When everyone gathers, I can step down as the Star Lord. "
Xia Dandao was so shameless that Gu Qiao knew that he had no way of rebuking him. If he did, it would be equivalent to changing sides, and a mutiny would ensue. Moreover, the experts of the Mou Clan weren't here yet.
…
"What's going on?" Seeing that the number of people on his side wasn't overwhelming, Yan Ze was shocked.
Su Xuan also noticed the situation, and her expression changed, "We were too careless. Even if we wanted to charge out, we shouldn't have done so at the same time. If I'm not wrong, this ignorant Xia Dandao should have already taken control of the entire Piercing Wind City, and wouldn't allow Zhen Xing's cultivator army to come out. This person has long coveted the position of Star King Mountain's Star Lord, and he might have already proclaimed himself to be the Star King Mountain's Star Lord. "
Looking at the Earthly Immortal expert who had yet to move, Yan Ze suddenly chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, let me, Yan Ze, shed my blood outside of Piercing Wind City, and do my part for Zhen Xing."
"I, Su Xuan, being able to join hands with a man like Hall Master Yan to fight against the foreign invaders would be one of the happiest things in my life." Su Xuan was also clear of the situation she was in. Even though the number of cultivators on the Piercing Wind City's side wasn't small, they still had an Earthly Immortal expert who hadn't moved. Besides that, there was still an endless stream of foreign invaders landing on the battlefield from the transfer array. One could imagine that the number of cultivators on the Piercing Wind City's side would decrease as the battle dragged on.
This was truly a tragedy. They were fighting at their own gates, but their numbers were decreasing, while the enemy's numbers were increasing.
"Two Hall Masters, the transfer array seems to have stopped …" A pleasantly surprised voice could be heard.
In reality, at almost the same time, everyone noticed that the transfer array that was continuously sending the foreign invaders to the Piercing Wind City had suddenly stopped, and not a single person landed outside of the Piercing Wind City.
This meant that even though the Piercing Wind City no longer had the support of Zhen Xing's cultivators, the enemy had no more reinforcements.
After Su Xuan confirmed that this was the truth, she was elated, and immediately shouted, "All the Worldly Immortal experts of my Zhen Xing, get close to Hall Master Yan and me, and listen to my orders. The rest of the cultivator army, kill them … "
Even without Su Xuan's reminder, all the Worldly Immortal experts had already closed in, and there was an Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1 expert that hadn't moved. To deal with this Earthly Immortal Stage Level 1 expert, all the Worldly Immortal experts here had to gang up on him. Even though the enemy had a lot of people, they still couldn't compare to the number of cultivators that charged out of the Piercing Wind City.
Moreover, the cultivator army had nine Worldly Immortal Stage experts, while the enemy only had an Earthly Immortal expert and Bao Lie who were slightly stronger. Comparing the two sides, the Zhen Mo cultivators were actually not at a disadvantage.
On the side of the foreign invaders, Bao Lie and that Earthly Immortal expert originally didn't move. To them, this battlefield didn't even need them to do anything, and very soon, a large number of Class 8 beasts and Worldly Immortal experts would arrive. However, the truth was that the transfer array had suddenly stopped.
"Bao Lie, shrink the array, and we only need to defend against them. I will go take a look at the Universal Hall," That Earthly Immortal expert said coldly.
"Alright." Bao Lie knew that something must have happened in the Universal Hall, otherwise, with his orders, Sid would definitely disregard everything and charge towards the transfer array to Zhen Xing. Now that the transfer array had actually stopped, this was simply a disaster.
