[First Update, August 22nd]
Dark Star Hall.
The Black Tiger King brought Ye Xing here, and the higher-ups of the Dark Star Sect were already gathered in the hall.
At the front of the hall, there were two large chairs in the middle. Two experts were sitting on them. One of them looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties, while the other had white hair and looked like an old man in his sixties.
This should be where the Sect Master sat. Since there were two people sitting there, it wasn't difficult for Ye Xing to guess that they were definitely the Sect Master of the Dark Star Sect and the Sect Master of the Sovereign Sect.
The Black Tiger King introduced, "The old man on the left is my master, King Xiao Mu, the Sect Master of the Sovereign Sect. The one on the right is my senior brother, King Star Dragon, the Sect Master of the Dark Star Sect!"
Ye Xing cupped his fist and bowed to the two of them, "Greetings, King Xiao Mu, King Star Dragon!"
King Xiao Mu and King Star Dragon nodded and smiled.
King Xiao Mu said, "Ye Xing, are you confident in today's battle?"
Ye Xing said, "Absolutely!"
King Xiao Mu's eyes lit up, "Good, I'll personally protect you today. You don't have to be afraid of the Great Yuan Dynasty's might and not dare to kill the Meng Family's cultivators. In the life and death battle, either you die or he dies. Kill as you please. The Dark Star Sect has already made preparations, and we're not afraid of the Dameng Supreme King going berserk."
Ye Xing bowed slightly, "Thank you, King Xiao Mu."
On the left and right of the Sect Master's throne, there were also two large chairs. The chair on the left was empty, and the chair on the right was occupied by an old woman over sixty years old.
The Black Tiger King said, "Ye Xing, you've already met this person. She's the Right Emissary of the Dark Star Sect …!"
Ximen Manqing coldly interrupted the Black Tiger King, "Since you've already met him, there's no need to introduce him. It's hard to say whether this kid can live past today. At least, he has to live past today to be qualified for me to meet him."
Ximen Manqing was over 700 years old, and she was only a few tens of years younger than the Sovereign Sect's Master, Zhuo Xiaomu. She'd always considered herself to be a senior before the Black Tiger King, and even if the Black Tiger King's strength was already the number one expert in the Darkstar Sect, she still relied on her seniority to not give the Black Tiger King any face.
Seeing this, the Black Biao King walked past Ximen Manqing. If it wasn't for etiquette, he wouldn't have bothered to introduce this crazy old woman.
Below the seats of the Left and Right Emissaries, there were two seats on each side of the staircase. Four Kings sat there.
The Black Biao King introduced, "These four are the Four Great Guardian Dharma Kings of our sect. The two on the left are 'King Jiangong', Zhuo Jiangong, and the one below is' King Qiushui ', Zhuo Qiushui. The two on the right are' Heavenly King Guan ', Ximen Guantian, and the one below is' Vast Sea King ', Lin Canghai."
Ye Xing bowed slightly towards the four of them. "Greetings, Guardian Kings."
The King Jiangong, King Qiushui, Heavenly King Guan, and Vast Sea King all nodded slightly. Although Ximen Guantian was a King of the Ximen Clan and didn't get along with the Black Biao King because of Ximen Manqing, he couldn't act like Ximen Manqing and not give the Black Biao King any face.
These four Guardian Kings were all Two Star Kings, and the oldest was Lin Canghai. He looked to be close to 60 years old, and he was probably not much younger than Ximen Manqing.
As for the other three, they were slightly younger. Some were around 40 years old, and some were around 30 years old. Zhuo Qiushui even looked to be less than 30 years old, and she was a charming young woman.
Below the seats of the four Guardian Kings was the floor of the hall. There were a total of seven seats on the left, three on the right, and four on the left, and each seat was occupied by a King.
These seven Kings were the seven Elders of the Dark Star Sect. In the Dark Star Sect, the Sect Master was higher than the Star Emissaries, the Star Emissaries were higher than the Guardian Kings, and the Guardian Kings were higher than the Elders. The Elders were the lowest of the upper echelons.
The Black Biao King introduced them one by one. "The three on the left are Eastern Zhou King Zhuo Dongzhou, Flying Snow King Zhuo Feixue, and Xiangliu King Ximen Xiangliu. The four on the right are Golden Blade King Lin Jindao, Lanqin King Lan Xin, Chen Daochen King Ling Daochen, and Wenfeng King Zhao Wenfeng. They are the seven Elders of the sect."
Ye Xing sized up Lanqin King and said, "Greetings, Seven Elders."
The Dark Star Sect had a Sovereign Sect Master, a Sect Master, two Star Emissaries, four Guardian Kings, and seven Elders. There were a total of 15 Kings, and Ye Xing recognized them all.
These 15 Kings were the highest echelons of the Dark Star Sect. Through these 15 Kings, Ye Xing finally knew how important the Zhuo Clan and the Ximen Clan were in the Dark Star Sect.
Among the 15 Kings, the Zhuo Clan held six positions. The Sect Master and the Sovereign Sect Master were both in the Zhuo Clan's hands. The four Guardian Kings held two positions, and the seven Elders held two positions. As the clan passed down from the founder of the Dark Star Sect, it was worthy of being called the number one clan. It was extremely powerful.
The Ximen Clan held three positions. Although they were inferior to the Zhuo Clan, the other clans couldn't compare. The Left and Right Emissaries held one position, the four Guardian Kings held another, and the seven Elders held another.
The other King Clans combined couldn't compare to the Zhuo Clan and the Ximen Clan.
However, in terms of strength, the Left Emissary Hei Biao was number one. In the world of martial arts, strength was respected. This made Hei Biao hold an important position in the Dark Star Sect. The Ximen Clan couldn't suppress him even if they wanted to.
Other than Queen Lanqin, the other six Elders all nodded and smiled at him.
However, Queen Lanqin said, "Ye Xing, I've heard about you from Qingxuan a long time ago. I've always wondered which prodigy could move Qingxuan's heart. Now that I've met you, you're indeed extraordinary. You're a dragon among men!"
When Ye Xing heard Queen Lanqin mention Wei Qingxuan, he felt inexplicably happy. He said, "You flatter me, Queen Lanqin."
Queen Lanqin smiled and said, "You're the Demon Star of Troubled Times. If you really have the ability to destroy the Dayuan Dynasty, how could my words be flattering? I'm afraid they're not even worthy of you. Do your best today. Win this battle and take down the Dayuan Dynasty's prestige. We'll also be able to hold our heads high."
Ye Xing said, "I won't disappoint you, Queen Lanqin."
"Hmph …! You make it sound nice. If we lose, it'll be the Dark Star Sect's reputation. "
Right Emissary Ximen Manqing snorted coldly and said, "You can only win this battle. If you lose, I won't forgive you."
Ye Xing chuckled and said, "If I lose, the Meng Family's martial artists won't let me live. I'm afraid I won't be able to trouble you, Queen Manqing."
Black Tiger King became angry when he heard Ximen Manqing's words. He immediately changed the topic and said, "Master, have you chosen the people to go to the Azure Cloud Mountain Range?"
King Xiao Mu nodded and said, "Star Dragon and Junior Sister Manqing will oversee the sect. Hei Biao, I'll go with you to the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. In addition, Jiang Gong, Canghai, Dong Zhou, Xiangliu, Lanqin, and Dust Daoist will accompany us."
"Yes, Sovereign Sect Master!" The six Kings stood up when they were named.
King Xiao Mu and Hei Biao were both Three Star Kings. In addition, there were two Two Star Kings and four One Star Kings. A total of eight Kings had been dispatched. It was clear that King Xiao Mu attached great importance to the safety of this Life and Death Gambling Battle.
Black Tiger King nodded and revealed a faint smile. He was very satisfied with the troops and camps that had been dispatched.
