Jian Wushuang stood in the void and watched the boatman in black leave. He didn't plan to chase after him.
He knew clearly that in terms of power, the boatman in black was above him. Moreover, he had many tricks up his sleeve. It was already good enough that he could stay alive. It was simply wishful thinking if he wanted to kill the boatman in black.
"Who sent this person?" Jian Wushuang muttered to himself.
Speaking of assassination, Jian Wushuang first thought of Acheron Palace or Holocaust Sect.
However, his instinct told him that the boatman in black shouldn't be related to Acheron Palace or Holocaust Sect.
After all, he had experienced the tricks of the two dark forces before.
It was fine if they didn't take action, but once they did, they would definitely die. Just like the time when Acheron Palace had besieged him, if he hadn't been lucky enough to run into One-Star Man, he wouldn't have been able to survive.
Although the boatman in black was powerful and he could pay a price to perform a Great Emperor's hit.
However, with that alone, it wasn't enough to force Jian Wushuang into a hopeless situation.
When Acheron Palace and Holocaust Sect took action, it definitely wouldn't be to such an extent.
As it wasn't the two dark forces, the ones who had the power to send such a powerful and unknown expert over were definitely those high and mighty existences.
"Those Great Emperors finally couldn't take it anymore and wanted to take action against me?" Jian Wushuang's face grew gloomy.
Among the Great Emperors in Holy League, there were some who didn't want him to grow.
However, there were still some Great Emperors who wanted him to grow. Hence, both parties kept each other in check.
"Although there are quite a few Great Emperors who don't want me to grow, the only one who showed disgust and hostility towards me is the Lord Of The Ninth Nether. Could it be that the one who wants me dead is the Lord Of The Ninth Nether?" Jian Wushuang muttered.
Of course, he couldn't be sure.
"Although I don't know who this Great Emperor is, it's still alright. Because he still has some misgivings, he can't personally kill me. Therefore, he can only send that boatman in black. However, there's always a possibility. In the future, I have to get closer to him. Otherwise, next time, the Great Emperor might personally kill me."
"Strength!"
"Power!!"
Jian Wushuang clenched his fists, feeling a trace of unwillingness in his heart.
He knew that he was being targeted by some Great Emperors, but there was nothing he could do. He could only take the beating and think of ways to resolve the crisis.
This was because of the difference in strength.
Only when he got the seventh step of inverse cultivation skill and became an Almighty could he be on equal footing with the Great Emperors.
Jian Wushuang did not linger in this void for long. Soon, he continued to return to the Star Lineage.
…
This was a huge and luxurious manor that looked like a paradise on earth.
In the middle of the manor, there was a river. The water was so clear that one could see the bottom. A lone boat was floating on the surface of the water. On the lone boat, there was a lazy man in a purple robe. He held a bamboo pole and was fishing.
The entire manor was extremely quiet. One could even hear a pin drop.
Suddenly, the boatman in black who was wearing a bamboo hat appeared at the corner of the boat. At the same time, he spoke politely, "Master, I am back."
"How was the result?" The lazy man asked casually.
"I have already used Blood Origin Pearl, but the result was still a failure. Jian Wushuang's defense armor is extraordinary," the boatman in black said.
"Oh?" The lazy man raised his eyebrows, but he wasn't bothered, "Forget it. Let Jian Wushuang live for a while longer. Oh yeah, you didn't reveal any information to him, right?"
"Master, I disguised myself when I took action. Besides master, no one knew that it was me who did it." As the boatman in black spoke, his appearance and aura started to change at a shocking speed.
Originally, he was a dark-skinned skinny old man in black. In a short while, he turned into an extremely flirtatious woman in a purple robe.
The woman was extremely beautiful. Her skin was fair and her figure was curvy. She was a classic stunner.
Even if it was Jian Wushuang, if he saw the woman, he definitely wouldn't think of the same thing as the boatman in black.
…
Not long after he was intercepted by the boatman in black, Jian Wushuang returned to Lineage of Star.
He had cultivated in Emperor Sword Palace for a total of one thousand years.
In the one thousand years, there wasn't any turmoil in Eternal Chaotic World.
Lineage of Star was rather stable too.
Ever since the battle between Lineage of Star and Abysmal Palace, they had revealed their fierce power and all the powerhouses were in awe.
On top of that, the news of Palace Master of Star's death was still unconfirmed. Hence, although the powerhouses had many thoughts, none of them dared to take action against Lineage of Star.
However, it was getting closer and closer to the deadline of Ancient Mystery Land's closure. There were only two hundred years left!
Two hundred years was extremely short. There wasn't much time left for Lineage of Star.
In the lofty hall.
"Temple Lord Yuan, how's the recruitment of the experts?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"To date, there are a total of seventeen Almighties who have accepted the invitation to come to Lineage of Star. Among them, there are two Emperor Gods and the remaining fifteen are Sir Gods. Among the fifteen Sir Gods, there is one who is listed on Heaven and Earth Supreme ranking list. In addition to Emperor God Jiu Yin who accepted the invitation previously, there are a total of five Emperor Gods in Lineage of Star! Plus, there is Palace Master and Sword One, two Peak Emperor Gods, "Temple Lord Yuan's voice was excited.
Five Emperor Gods. Among the many sects in Holy League, there wasn't any powerhouse who could achieve that.
But then, Lineage of Star had achieved it.
Of course, it was also because the conditions given by Lineage of Star were tempting. Not only were there Chaos Divine Treasures, there was also the Secret Skill of Star that was too tempting.
"Are these people obedient in Lineage of Star?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"Don't worry, Palace Master. Firstly, these people have good reputations. Secondly, they haven't received the Secret Skill of Star. Even if they received Chaos Divine Treasures, there is a limit. Unless they are on the verge of death, they won't abandon Lineage of Star," Temple Lord Yuan said.
"That's good," Jian Wushuang nodded faintly.
Although the experts had accepted Lineage of Star's invitation, they were there purely for the benefits. They had nothing to do with Lineage of Star, let alone a sense of belonging. It was impossible for them to serve Lineage of Star wholeheartedly. Hence, Jian Wushuang only hoped to trap them with benefits.
When there was a great war, even if these people wouldn't risk their lives for Lineage of Star, they would at least be of some use to increase the overall fighting power of Lineage of Star.
