"How dare you act so audaciously in Starchaser Palace? Are you trying to incite a war between our sects?"
Not expecting the newly-appointed Pavilion Master Liu of the Seven Star Pavilion to be so unreasonable as to disregard the authority of the two sects and capture her, the lady's face reddened in fury.
Zhang Xuan took a step forward and harrumphed coldly. "I came here to pay a visit to Palace Chief Du, but you used someone else to brush me off. You were the one who was rude in the first place, so why are you saying that I'm being presumptuous now? Are you taking advantage of the fact that there's no one in our Seven Star Pavilion? "
No matter what, he had come here as a representative of the Seven Star Pavilion, and he had even sent a name scroll over. Yet … it was one thing for the other party to refuse to meet him, but to use a fake excuse to brush him off?
It was no wonder why the other party refused to allow Elder Kui Xiao to come and even brought a screen over!
Clearly, she was trying to bully him for not knowing the real Du Qingyuan, as he had just become the new sect leader.
"You …"
The lady trembled uncontrollably. She wanted to say something, but she was unable to find the words to say.
They were in the wrong in this matter.
"Where is your palace chief? Get her out here to meet me, and I'll let this matter rest. Otherwise, even if this matter reaches the ears of the other sects, I'll still be in the right! "
Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back and harrumphed coldly.
He only wanted to ask for some information. He didn't want to blow up the matter, and he didn't want to see the lives of the two sects being destroyed.
However, the other party was clearly going too far!
The lady gritted her teeth, not daring to say a word.
"If you refuse to speak, don't blame me for getting nasty!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand grandly.
The four immortal beasts immediately surrounded the lady.
As the overlords of the ocean, every single one of them had blood on their hands. Their auras were so powerful that the lady's face turned ghastly pale, and her breathing became a little ragged.
"Pavilion Master Liu, please calm down!"
At this moment, a voice sounded. Following which, an old lady dressed in a coarse hemp robe flew into the hall. Her cultivation was at Heavenly High Immortal realm, and she walked up to Zhang Xuan and bowed deeply.
"I am the First Elder of Starchaser Palace, Zhao Yue. This lady over here is the direct disciple of the palace chief, Chu Yin.
Please forgive me for any offense! "
"The Palace Master is busy today, so she's not in the palace! Over the past few days, the Six Sects have been arriving one after another. If they were to learn of this news, I'm afraid that some unforeseen events might occur. That's why … I had her disguise herself for the time being. Please forgive me! "
Great Elder Zhao Yue cupped her fists.
Zhang Xuan looked at him doubtfully.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be a big deal if the Palace Master wasn't in the sect! He could have just told her the truth. Why did he have to impersonate her?
Doing so could easily lower the trust that the other sects had in Starchaser Palace.
Furthermore, even if the six major sects were to arrive one after another, the Palace Master would not be in the sect, but the Elders and the foundation would still be there. There would not be any changes!
It was impossible for the other sects to attack just because the Sect Leader wasn't around!
Noticing the doubt in Zhang Xuan's eyes, Elder Zhao Yue said with a bitter smile, "I have my reasons for making such a decision … I hope that Sect Leader Liu can forgive me!"
"Something difficult to say?"
"Pardon me, but the palace master isn't around right now. Pavilion Master Liu, I'll have to trouble you to return for now. It's our Starchaser Palace's fault this time around, and the palace master will surely explain everything to us once she returns so that she can pay a visit to the Seven Star Pavilion to apologize!"
Grand Elder Zhao Yue said.
"Fine!"
Seeing the other party's sincerity, Zhang Xuan paused for a moment before nodding his head.
He was only here to ask about Lozosy's whereabouts; he had no intention of making an enemy out of Starchaser Palace. Since the other party had already said so, it would only make him look petty if he continued pursuing the matter.
With a wave of his hand, the immortal beasts were immediately kept into his tamed beast pouch.
"Farewell …"
After saying that, he leaped up and flew out in a straight line.
Returning to the main hall, Zhang Xuan saw Elder Kui Xiao looking at him anxiously.
"Just now, I felt an energy fluctuation over there. What happened?"
He was afraid that Zhang Xuan would get into a fight with Palace Master Du Qingyuan, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"We'll talk about it when we get back!"
Zhang Xuan didn't explain.
The two of them left Starchaser Palace.
After flying for a short distance, Zhang Xuan stopped.
"Sect Leader …"
Noticing that something was amiss with Elder Kui Xiao's expression, Elder Kui Xiao asked doubtfully, "What happened earlier? Have you seen Palace Master Du? What was that energy fluctuation just now? "
It couldn't be that they had already gotten into a fight, right?
Sect Leader, didn't you say that you wouldn't act recklessly?
"I didn't see Palace Master Du!"
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan recounted everything that had happened earlier in detail.
"Palace Master Du isn't in the sect, and I impersonated her to meet you?"
Elder Kui Xiao was stunned after hearing what had happened.
The sect leader was rarely in the sect, and even if she was in the Seven Star Pavilion, there was no way that she would be in the headquarters.
Why would she impersonate her?
Something was clearly amiss!
Under normal circumstances, a sect that had been around for countless years shouldn't have made such a foolish decision!
"I just think that something is amiss. Elder Kui, you should return to your residence in the Seven Star Pavilion for now. I would like to make a trip to Starchaser Palace to investigate the matter," Zhang Xuan said.
No matter how he looked at it, there was something amiss about Starchaser Palace.
He wouldn't be able to rest easy until he got to the bottom of it.
Palace Master Du was the only person who knew about Lozosy's descent into Starchaser Palace, so he had to find her no matter what.
"I'll go with you," Elder Kui Xiao said worriedly.
"I'm afraid that something might happen. You'll still need to guard the Seven Star Pavilion," Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand.
"Alright then. Be careful, Sect Leader!"
Hearing those words, Elder Kui Xiao did not insist on the matter.
They were on Starchaser Island, the home ground of Starchaser Palace. Given that such a bizarre situation had occurred, it was unlikely that the Seven Star Pavilion would be safe without a Semi-Divinity realm expert guarding it.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Xuan leaped into an empty alley. When he walked out once more, he had already altered his appearance, making him look completely different from the 'Liu Yang' from before.
With his disguise done, he began making his way back to Starchaser Palace.
With his disguise, even Semi-Divinity realm experts would have a hard time noticing him, let alone those from Starchaser Palace. It did not take long for him to return to the main hall.
Zhang Xuan stealthily flew into the main hall and hid on the beam of the roof.
The injured elders had disappeared without a trace, and the traces of battle had disappeared as well.
All that was left was First Elder Zhao Yue and her disciple, Chu Yin.
"First Elder, I told you that this won't work. Since Sect Leader Liu is able to see through my disguise, the other party should be able to as well!"
Chu Yin said worriedly. "I might be able to imitate my teacher's voice, but I'm unable to imitate his disposition and aura no matter how hard I try."
"I know that you won't be able to imitate him, but we don't have any other choice at the moment. This is the only way we can stall for as long as we can!"
First Elder Zhao Yue said.
"I understand. What should I do then?"
Chu Yin asked with gritted teeth.
"This is a jade token infused with the palace master's zhenqi. As long as you activate it, you'll be able to emanate the aura of a Semi-Divinity realm expert from your body. The reason why Sect Leader Liu was able to see through your disguise is because he made a move on you. As long as you can stall him, we'll be able to succeed! "
First Elder Zhao Yue said.
"I'll try my best!"
Chu Yin nodded. She held the jade token in her hand, and her aura immediately changed. In an instant, it was as if she had turned into a completely different person, emanating an aura that no one would dare approach.
"Alright, that's all. Later on, no matter what happens, you have to remain calm. If you really can't do it, I'll be able to help you answer the questions!"
First Elder Zhao Yue said. But before she could finish her words, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt an overwhelming aura appearing in the courtyard in front of the hall.
The First Elder's face darkened as she hurriedly beckoned Chu Yin over to the back of the screen.
"May I know if Palace Master Du has made up your mind?"
Shortly after she was done, a calm voice sounded. Following which, several figures slowly walked in from the entrance of the hall.
There were five of them in total. The one walking at the very front was a middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe. His cultivation felt as vast as the ocean, making him seem unfathomable.
"They …"
Through the gap between the beams, Zhang Xuan looked at the group of people, and a frown appeared on his forehead. "They are from the Hall of Gods?"
