The Divine Arbiter had already ripped off the bandage covering Ye Zichen's left eye. The rags fell to the ground, revealing his hideously scarred left eye.
Ye Zichen instinctively covered his left eye. Although it was only for a moment, everyone could see that there was nothing special about it.
Then they looked at the other great emperors. Although they'd frowned when the Divine Arbiter attacked, they didn't seem nervous at all.
However, their frowns didn't contain any nervousness. They simply thought the Divine Arbiter's actions were a little excessive.
"Could it be that it wasn't him?"
The other experts couldn't help but frown. The Divine Arbiter froze for a moment, her brows furrowed in astonishment.
"Divine Arbiter!"
Roared the Lord of Seven Stars. Xuan Ji, Pu Jingwan, and Xiao Yumei stared intently at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm doing this so I can properly report back to the God Emperor. It seems your injuries are severe, so here's the medicine the God Emperor gave me before sending me here. I hope it'll be of use. "
As she spoke, the Divine Arbiter tossed a jade bottle at Ye Rong.
The bottle was smashed into pieces by Ye Rong in mid-air, and the valuable elixir inside also turned into powder that evaporated into the air.
"I, Ye Rong, will remember your actions."
A thin veil appeared in Xiao Yumei's hands and landed on Ye Zichen's left eye. Ye Rong and Xuan Ji glared at the Divine Arbiter, then hugged Ye Zichen and left.
This time, no one tried to stop Ye Zichen. Whether it was because his left eye wasn't the celestial eye, or because he was acting like a great emperor, he …. didn't seem like the Master of the Stars.
In that case, had the Master of the Stars already been safely relocated? Or was he hiding among these youths?
In truth, there was one youth that caught the attention of the God, Yao, and Demon experts. They could vaguely sense the auras of several great emperors hovering around him.
Their gazes locked onto him.
Sensing the change in the auras of the experts of the God, Yao, and Demon Races, the young man who was chatting with the other handsome men and beautiful women paused. The other Great Emperors instantly moved in front of the young man.
"May I ask who that youth is …." asked someone.
"He's a direct descendant of the Xue Family, but he's just an ordinary cultivator. I don't know why he's worth all of your attention," said Xue Yang, frowning.
"Just an ordinary direct descendant? If that's the case, why are the other Great Emperors so flustered?"
As he spoke, the auras of the Divine, Divine, and Demon Clans suddenly rose.
The great emperors froze. The Gods, Yao, and Demons looked on with even greater suspicion. Xue Yang's gaze grew cold.
"Before coming here, I warned you that my daughter is suffering from a serious illness!"
With a wave of his hand, he set up a seal around Xue Mo's room. Xue Yang and the other great emperors' auras surged. Their oppressive might enveloped the God, Yao, and Demon Clansmen.
"Scram before this emperor really gets angry! The Xue family doesn't entertain you! "
They were very close to the sea, and Xue Yang's Neptune's Trident was still undefeatable. He alone was enough to make the experts of the God, Yao, and Demon Races struggle to defend themselves. Now, there were several Great Emperors present.
No matter what, they would not be able to take another step forward.
However, even if they couldn't confirm it themselves, their guesses weren't far off. It seemed the Lord of the Emperor Star was that youth.
They never would've guessed that the Lord of the Stars was from the Xue Family. No wonder the other Divine Mountains treated the Sea of Innocence as their masters.
"Ocean Emperor, hmph …. Let's go."
The experts of the God, Yao, and Demon Races all left, leaving only the Divine Arbiter behind. Xue Yang's expression darkened.
"You're not leaving? Are you waiting for me to send you off?"
"His Excellency the God Emperor …."
"There's no need. Go back and tell Zhou Wu to stop coming to the Sea of Innocence. If we can still be sworn brothers, then so be it. If we can't, then I don't care if we fall out. Hurry up and get the hell out of here! "
Xue Yang pointed at the sea and roared. The Divine Arbiter's lips quivered, but she still took out a bottle of pills and placed it on the table.
"No matter what you say, Ocean Emperor, I must complete the mission the God Emperor gave me. I'll leave the pills here. If you don't want me to stay, then I won't bother you any longer. Farewell. "
She tapped her foot against the ground and disappeared into the void.
Xue Yang shattered the Divine Arbiter's pills with his halberd. His eyes blazed with fury.
Afterward, the great emperors surrounded the youth they'd just noticed. They asked about his well-being, then ordered their clansmen to take him away.
"Is it really him?"
The Divine Arbiter didn't leave right away. Instead, she lingered in the spatial tunnel she'd created.
After she left, the great emperors' reactions made it clear that if the youth was just an ordinary member of the Xue Family, they'd been overly concerned about him.
Even so, you had to be able to think in reverse. Weren't they just putting on a show for others?
However, the Divine Arbiter didn't think too much about it. She lingered for another hour, but when she saw that Xue Yang and the others hadn't gone to see Ye Zichen, she left.
As for who exactly was the Lord of the Stars, that was up to Zhou Wu to decide.
Deep into the night.
It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that someone knocked on Ye Zichen's door. After opening the door, the few Great Emperors who stayed in the Xue Family rushed over. Their gazes were more solemn than ever.
"Is the Lord of the Stars alright?" asked Zhao Qianhe. "The Divine Arbiter's sudden attack shocked us all."
"It's nothing. Fortunately, the Fox Empress used her Fox Perception Technique to protect Ye Zichen's left eye." Ye Rong gently stroked Ye Zichen's sleeping form, then looked into his left eye, which still glowed with starlight. "Otherwise, the Divine Arbiter really would've noticed."
"It's all thanks to Xuan Ji's divine foresight that this might happen," said Su Qingyan with a smile.
"Don't relax too much," said Xuan Ji. "Even if it looks like we've tricked them, you should be able to sense it. Zhou Wu is already on guard against Ye Zichen, "said Xuan Ji. The others nodded.
From the Divine Arbiter's actions, it was clear that the God Emperor was wary of Ye Zichen.
They just didn't know if their act together could fool the Divine Arbiter and the God Emperor.
"The God Emperor is naturally paranoid. If the Divine Arbiter goes back and tells him the truth, he'll definitely be suspicious of Ye Zichen and Xue Tie," said Xue Yang. "So long as he's suspicious, the Lord of the Stars will be safe."
"That's why that child who replaced Ye Zichen as the Lord of the Stars can never appear again," said Xuan Ji.
