"It's over!"
Jiu Qianbei and the others were in despair.
Jiang Tianshu was an Undead Realm expert, and he had taken out an eighth-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure, the Demon Purification Gourd, that could suppress an Immortal Realm expert. There was no way they could survive! Unless Ning Qi's backer appeared again. But they had heard clearly that the Great Emperor would only help Ning Qi once. Not to mention that this was the Ancient Star Pavilion, where the Star Emperor was present. No other Great Emperor would dare to come uninvited! That would mean...
A war between Great Emperors!
Almost in an instant, Ning Qi had opened the Nine Inner Hidden Gates. The aura of his body was extremely powerful, completely surpassing that of an ordinary early Rebirth Realm expert.
The Palace Master of Alkaid Star Palace looked at Ning Qi in surprise. At the same time, Jiang Tianshu also noticed the strangeness of Ning Qi's body.
However, such strength was nothing in front of him. Just as the black mist was about to envelop everyone, a walking stick reached in from outside the palace. When the walking stick hit the ground, there was a loud bang, and the black mist disappeared without a trace. Jiang Tianshu's face was dark red, and he took a few steps back, his expression one of bewilderment.
He looked toward the door.
It was an old man with a hunched back. He had a kind face and a faint smile on his lips.
"Grand Elder Duan..."
Ning Qi was relieved when he saw the person. He closed the Nine Inner Hidden Gates one after another.
"Grand Elder Duan?"
The Alkaid Star Palace's Palace Master's eyes flickered slightly. She subconsciously stood up with an ugly expression.
Yan Kun and Mo Xie didn't know who Grand Elder Duan was, but when they heard the word 'Grand Elder', they seemed to have thought of something and a trace of hope appeared in their eyes. Whether they could leave this place safely or not depended on this old man!
"Who is this senior?"
"Are we saved?"
No one, including Mo Xie, had seen Grand Elder Duan before. However, he had broken Jiang Tianshu's trap as soon as he appeared. It was very likely that he wouldn't collude with the Palace Master of Alkaid Star Palace and attack their own disciples!
"It's quite lively here."
Grand Elder Duan looked at the crowd, then his eyes fell on the Palace Master of Alkaid Star Palace. "Zhang Xuanzong, what are you doing?"
"So the Palace Master's real name is Zhang Xuanzong. This senior called him by his name, so his status is definitely not lower than his!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Jiang Tianshu's face darkened. As the chief disciple of Alkaid Star Palace and a former true disciple, he was well aware of Grand Secretary Duan's background. It was no coincidence that he was here!
"It's just a sparring session between the disciples. I didn't expect Grand Elder Duan to make a trip here himself."
Zhang Xuanzong chuckled.
"Spar? Then put away the Demon Refining Gourd. The eighth-grade Demon Refining Gourd is rare even among the Demon Race. Although it doesn't have much use for us, these juniors might not be able to withstand its power. "
Grand Secretary Duan smiled.
"Heaven Tree, aren't you going to put it away?"
Zhang Xuanzong looked at Jiang Tianshu and said calmly.
"Yes, Master."
Jiang Tianshu nodded respectfully and put the Devil Purification Gourd away. He then stood behind Zhang Xuanzong and looked at Grand Elder Duan with sparkling eyes.
"You two are the disciples of that sparrow, right?"
Grand Secretary Duan suddenly turned to Yan Kun and Yan Jun with a smile.
Sparrow?
The two of them were startled, then they respectfully replied, "Reporting to Senior, our master's surname is Kong, and her name is Sparrow Immortal." "I didn't expect her to give herself such a nice name. A long time ago, when she first came to the Ancient Star System Pavilion, she didn't even know how to speak. At that time, I saw that she was very obedient, so I let her stay in my yard for a while.
In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. Sparrow has grown up, and she has even raised geniuses like you two. Time really flies. "
Grand Secretary Duan let out a sigh and smiled. Hearing this, Ning Qi and the others suddenly realized that Yan Kun and Yan Jun's master was a member of the Demon Race who had once stayed in the Ancient Star Pavilion and interacted with Grand Secretary Duan for a while! It was no wonder that Zhang Xuanzong knew the masters of the two of them.
It was likely that they were geniuses who had risen in the same era!
If that was the case, then Grand Secretary Duan's age was shockingly old!
Yan Kun and Yan Jun looked at each other. They had the same thought as Ning Qi and the others. While they were shocked, they became even more respectful toward Grand Secretary Duan.
Only Zhang Xuanzong's expression changed several times after hearing those words. Only then did he regain his calm.
"Okay, I was just passing by and happened to hear some noise, so I came to take a look. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. You guys can come with me."
Grand Secretary Duan smiled and walked toward the door.
Seeing this, everyone immediately followed.
From beginning to end, Zhang Xuanzong had no intention of stopping them.
After Ning Qi and the others followed Grand Secretary Duan down the mountain, Jiang Tianshu whispered, "Master, are we just going to let them go like this? If they go out and spread the news, I'm afraid … "
"You haven't been in the Ancient Star Pavilion for long, so you don't know Grand Secretary Duan's origin. Since he has acted today, if I don't let them go, I'm afraid the Great Emperor will come out of his closed door cultivation."
Zhang Xuanzong sat down again and said calmly.
"The Great Emperor will come out of his closed door cultivation?"
Jiang Tianshu's face was filled with shock.
The Great Emperor of the Ancient Star Pavilion hadn't come out of his closed door cultivation for a very long time. Rumor had it that he was cultivating an extremely powerful cultivation method in an attempt to break through the bottleneck!
"Master, what is the origin of this Grand Secretary Duan?"
Jiang Tianshu lowered his head and asked respectfully.
"She is the daughter of the 13th Great Emperor of the Star Emperor."
Zhang Xuanzong said calmly.
"Gasp …"
Jiang Tianshu took a deep breath and his eyes were filled with fear. How could Grand Secretary Duan's origin be so terrifying?
"However, the 13th Great Emperor of the Star Emperor of the Star Emperor was executed by the Supreme Sacred Council because she communicated with a forbidden planet. She died mysteriously while fighting against her enemies."
Zhang Xuanzong's lips curved up into a mocking smile. "I'll give her some face today, but you should know what to do next, right? Since we've already fallen out, there's no need to pretend to be united. "
"I understand."
Jiang Tianshu's eyes lit up and he responded coldly.
…
Everyone followed Grand Secretary Duan. Jiu Qianbei and the others didn't dare to make a sound. They only looked up at Grand Secretary Duan's back from time to time, trying to guess his origin.
"Qiao Qiao should be in the [Absolute Beginning] right now, right?"
Grand Secretary Duan suddenly asked.
Yan Kun was startled, then he quickly replied in a low voice, "Senior, Master is indeed cultivating in the [Absolute Beginning] land."
"It must have taken you a long time to get here, right?"
Grand Secretary Duan smiled.
"Senior, Senior Brother and I traveled a long way and it took us a few hundred years to get to the Ancient Star Pavilion. I didn't expect Senior Yao Guang to …"
Yan Jun suddenly spoke, but she was interrupted by Yan Kun's gaze.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm sure Zhang Xuanzong won't let you go so easily. I can help you buy some time, so go back to the [Absolute Beginning] land as soon as possible. You'll be safe once you return to Qiao Que."
Grand Secretary Duan smiled.
