"There's no need to worry. The patriarch of our Tian Yuan clan has already fallen out with them. We'll have a great battle with them sooner or later," Jianchen waved his hand and said nonchalantly, telling Tian Shuang not to worry.
At this moment, Tian Shuang had already accepted the divine hall from Jian Chen. She released Xing 'er and Lan' er who were trapped in there.
After so many years, Xing 'er and Lan' er had become even more graceful than before. Not only did the two of them possess special constitutions like the Heavenly Yin Body and the Innate Body of Ways, but their appearances were so beautiful that they outshone the moon. Their extraordinary birth had allowed them to possess a noble bearing, making people want to conquer them.
However, at this moment, their faces were completely pale. Their eyes were filled with despair, sorrow, and anger.
They had been taken away by Mu Lin and the bird, and they had watched helplessly as the two ancestors of the Xuandao Dynasty died, as well as their father who was heavily injured and drowned in the ruins. All of this was like a brand, deeply engraved into the depths of their minds. It was difficult for them to accept such a great change since they had never experienced it before.
The empty eyes of Xing 'er and Lan' er who had just been released from the divine hall subconsciously swiveled around. They immediately saw Tian Shuang before them, and a sliver of light finally appeared in their ashen eyes.
"Ancestor!" Xing 'er and Lan' er cried out sorrowfully at the same time. Their voices were filled with sobs as they each hugged one of Tian Shuang's arms. Tears constantly flowed down their faces as their entire bodies trembled gently.
"Xing 'er, Lan' er, don't be afraid. You're safe now. Jianchen saved you." Tian Shuang looked at Xing 'er and Lan' er lovingly. She said softly, "Xing 'er, Lan' er, why don't you thank young master Jianchen?"
Xing 'er and Lan' er raised their heads and looked around. They saw the bloody head nearby with a single glance, and their eyes immediately became filled with overwhelming hatred.
A moment later, they turned their gazes towards Jianchen and thanked him in unison. Their moods were low and sorrowful.
"Ancestor, who is this person? Just what grievances does our Xuandao Dynasty have with him? Why has he come to destroy our Xuandao Dynasty?" Xing 'er stared at Mu Lin's head in hatred as she said through gritted teeth.
"He has no grievances with your Xuandao Dynasty. I'm guessing that it's probably because your Xuandao Dynasty belongs to the Righteous Alliance, which is why he acted against the Xuandao Dynasty," Jianchen replied.
Jianchen knew very well that Mu Lin valued Princess Xing 'er and Princess Lan' er's special constitutions. Destroying the Xuandao Dynasty was probably just a matter of convenience. However, in order to not burden Xing 'er and Lan' er, he pushed the blame onto the Righteous Alliance.
Otherwise, if Xing 'er and Lan' er learnt that the disaster of the Xuandao Dynasty was actually caused by the two of them, they probably would never be able to forgive themselves. They would sink into deep pain and self-blame.
"As long as I'm still around, the Xuandao Dynasty won't be destroyed. The experience this time is just a trial that the Xuandao Dynasty has gone through as it grows stronger over the countless years. Xing 'er, Lan' er, stay with the Tianyuan family for now. I'm going back to the Xuandao Dynasty to check on it, "Tian Shuang said. She had completely calmed down now, recovering her bearing as the ancestor of the Xuandao Dynasty.
With that, she left the Tianyuan family alone, returning to the Xuandao Dynasty through the Disc of Heavenly Ways.
At the same time, the five ancestors who represented the highest will of the Four Symbols Alliance gathered in the headquarters of the Four Symbols Alliance.
"Mu Lin is already dead. We can't hide this news at all. He's the only protector the young star lord brought from the Star Brilliance Plane. His death will probably agitate the young star lord. Gentle Breeze, we can clearly save Mu Lin, but you won't let us. Is that really the right thing to do? "Gong Ji of the five ancestors asked. Clearly, there was some doubt in her voice.
"If we don't do anything, we can remain uninvolved, but once we do, we'll really be dragged into it. Right now, it seems like the young star lord is still on our side, but in reality, we haven't truly tied ourselves to the tremendous organisation that is the Star Brilliance Mountain. As a result, we can't do anything. Once we offend Jianchen, it'll be equivalent to offending the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, "the Gentle Breeze Ancestor said sternly. He was filled with worries.
"Gentle Breeze, you're far too timid. Have you ever considered whether the young star lord will resent us and leave us if we continue to treat him half-heartedly and refuse to truly work for him? I know you're thinking for the alliance. You want to rope in the young star lord to the Star Brilliance Mountain, but you don't want to offend the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. However, if you don't pay a certain price, how will you receive anything in return? " Wu Lu of the five ancestors spoke eloquently. He clearly disagreed with the Gentle Breeze Ancestor's point of view.
"Gentle Breeze, I had the same opinion as you in the beginning. I only wanted to rope in the young star lord and avoid offending the Tianyuan family and the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. However, with the development of the situation, I gradually understand that there is no perfect solution in this world. In this matter, I think it's time for us to make a choice. If we continue to be timid, I'm afraid that we will end up going for wool and coming home shorn. Then, the gains will not make up for the losses. "Gong Ji said in a low voice. On this matter, her opinion was the same as Wu Lu's.
On this day, the ancestors of the Four Symbols Alliance began to argue for the first time since the alliance had been established. In the end, the highest meeting of the Four Symbols Alliance ended unhappily.
"What? Mu Lin is dead? He was personally killed by Jianchen? " Before long, the young star lord learnt about Mu Lin's death in a luxurious hall in the headquarters of the Four Symbols Alliance. He immediately flew into a rage.
"Alright, alright, alright. Jianchen, I swear that I will never forgive you for killing my people. As long as I don't kill you, I won't return to the Star Brilliance Mountain," the young star lord said through gritted teeth as his face darkened from anger.
At this moment, his killing intent and resentment towards Jianchen had reached a point of no return.
Ever since he started his career, he had never hated someone so much, nor had he ever hated someone so much.
"Young star lord, if you want to deal with the Tianyuan family, I can assist you." At this moment, an aged voice came from outside. A white-haired old woman walked in unhurriedly from outside.
She was one of the five ancestors of the Four Symbols Alliance, Gong Ji.
"Me too!" Immediately after, Wu Lu's figure appeared abruptly.
They were two of the five ancestors of the Four Symbols Alliance.
