#842 - Star Defeats the Sky

Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters, upon a certain mountain within the vast and continuous mountain range.

This is the location of the Law Enforcement Hall under the command of the Eighth Ancestor's lineage.

The Law Enforcement Hall's main hall is currently filled with a large number of people, including Law Enforcement Hall Elders, Deacons, and Law Enforcers, totaling over a hundred individuals.

Each of these individuals is an extraordinary powerhouse.

The Law Enforcers are young people who have emerged step by step from the competition among their peers, the young supreme beings, each of them being a rare and outstanding powerhouse.

Their ancestors were all powerful ancient bloodline holders, selected from among those young supreme beings who were once sheltered by the Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters, possessing experienced talent.

The Deacons and Elders are the same, having the same experience as the young Law Enforcers, having also been selected through the same考核 in the past.

"Hall Master, what is the reason for summoning all of us here in such a hurry?"

A Law Enforcement Elder with a hooked nose asked.

Another Law Enforcement Elder with triangular eyes beside him said, "Does the Hall Master have something very important to say? Otherwise, why would he place a restriction on this main hall?"

They had a faint premonition of something bad.

"Just now, a major event occurred in the starry sky. I believe you all should know about it even without me, the Hall Master, saying it."

The Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall calmly scanned everyone, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Is the Hall Master referring to Elder Xingmeng and the others…"

Some people in the main hall hesitated to speak.

"Humph! Xingmeng and the others are traitors who bite the hand that feeds them, daring to betray the Eighth Ancestor and the Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters!"

"Such traitors must be subjected to the most severe torture!"

"Death to those who betray the Eighth Ancestor!"

"Why would those five people do this? In the Law Enforcement Hall these years, the Hall Master has treated them well, cultivating them as confidants, and this time even gave them the opportunity to perform meritorious service, yet they have done such a thing!"

…

In the main hall, many people began to express their views on the matter.

"That's right, they are this Hall Master's confidants. Are you trying to say that with confidants betraying, this Hall Master cannot escape responsibility?"

"This…"

Those who spoke did not expect the Hall Master to be so blunt and tear off the mask.

"Humph, you're right, actually."

The Hall Master did not deny it, and even admitted it in public.

"What?"

Some people looked at him in shock.

At this moment, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall suddenly took action.

Vast true energy surged, and the pressure of an Extreme Celestial Realm pinnacle powerhouse swept across the entire main hall.

That palm covered down, as if a star was pressing down on the top of their heads.

"Hall Master, are you rebelling?"

Several Law Enforcement Elders roared, their eyes wide with anger. The Law Enforcement Elders, Deacons, and Law Enforcers covered by the large handprint all raised their hands to the sky, condensing true energy array diagrams to resist the handprint.

The violent air waves frantically impacted in all directions, startling the other Deacons and Law Enforcers, who all retreated to the corners. Some of them looked at this scene in horror, their expressions uncertain.

"Only realizing it now, don't you think it's too late? Didn't that old thing, Ji Ba, ask you to monitor this Hall Master? It's a pity that you underestimated this Hall Master's determination!"

The Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall's palm continued to press down, causing the bones of the Law Enforcement Elders, Deacons, and Law Enforcers beneath it to crackle, their legs trembling under the pressure, and blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.

"Xing Baitian! How dare you! Who gave you the courage to do this? You are betraying the Eighth Ancestor and rebelling in the Ancient Road Headquarters! Do you know the consequences?"

Those Law Enforcement Elders who were being suppressed and spitting blood questioned sharply.

"Humph, I didn't want to be so quick, but now there is no choice. That old thing, Ji Ba, for the sake of a city lord who took the lead in breaking the rules, constantly sends people from my Law Enforcement Hall to kill Jun Wuxie. If this continues, the people of my Law Enforcement Hall will all die! As the Hall Master, if I don't do something, my people will have to die in vain!"

As his voice fell, his palm suddenly pressed down.

Rumble!

The true energy array diagrams condensed by dozens of powerhouses instantly collapsed, the handprint fell, and amidst a chorus of screams, those people were instantly crushed into bloody mud.

"So strong…"

Those who had retreated to the corners saw such a terrifying scene, and when the aftermath swept over, causing their blood to churn, they couldn't help but exclaim.

"Do you know why I only killed them?" Xing Baitian swept his gaze over the remaining dozens of people and said, "Because they are the Eighth Ancestor's loyal claws, but you are not!"

"Hall Master…"

Some people had complex expressions. Things were already like this, and there was no room for maneuver. The Eighth Ancestor would never tolerate it.

"Now, you have two choices. One is to follow this Hall Master, where the future is uncertain, but you can do what you want to do! The other is to continue to stay here, controlled and dominated by that old thing Ji Ba, dedicating your lives to him meaninglessly!"

"This…"

Many people hesitated.

"I will follow the Hall Master, even if I ultimately cannot escape the Eighth Ancestor's pursuit, I swear to follow the Hall Master to the death!"

"Wherever the Hall Master goes, I will go!"

…

Some Deacons and Law Enforcers successively stood up, expressing their attitude and determination.

"Have you thought it through clearly?"

Xing Baitian stared at them.

"We have thought it through. These years, under the Eighth Ancestor's decree, we have secretly fought with the other lineages, constantly engaging in internal friction. Many of our people have died! If it weren't for the Hall Master protecting us, we would probably have become bones long ago, how could we have lived to this day!"

"Good! Follow this Hall Master, and even if we are to die in the future, I will lead you to end in splendor, rather than ending our lives meaninglessly!"

"We swear to follow the Hall Master to the death!"

More than twenty people clasped their fists, their words sonorous and their eyes firm.

At this time, a hesitant Law Enforcement Elder opened his mouth and asked, "May I ask the Hall Master, where are you planning to go next?"

"Emperor Beginning Star!"

"What?"

Those who were hesitant had very complex expressions. In fact, they had already guessed it.

Xingmeng and the others had defected to Jun Wuxie. They were the Hall Master's most trusted confidants.

Now, the Hall Master was acting like this in public, the answer was already very obvious, but they still wanted to ask, wanting to hear the Hall Master answer personally.

But really hearing such an answer, they still felt shocked in their hearts.

Although the Immortal Execution Dynasty of the Emperor Beginning Star was prosperous and had many Extreme Celestial Realm powerhouses, it was far inferior to the Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters. The Eighth Ancestor's lineage alone was much stronger than the Immortal Execution Dynasty. There was an astonishing number of Extreme Celestial Realm pinnacle powerhouses here, with incomparably profound foundations.

"You should make your choice now. Time is pressing, I cannot wait for you too long."

Xing Baitian knew very well that he could not stay here for long and had to leave as soon as possible. The Eighth Ancestor's side was probably about to send someone over soon.

Because the Eighth Ancestor probably already knew about Xingmeng and the others helping Jun Wuxie kill the powerhouses of the Holy Ancient Mansion, he would definitely send someone to question him.

"You don't need to be embarrassed or entangled. This Hall Master will not force you. If you choose to stay, this Hall Master will never attack you. Over the years, although you are this Hall Master's subordinates, this Hall Master also has feelings for you."

Those few Law Enforcement Elders looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and said, "We will go with the Hall Master, even if it means certain death! We have indeed had enough these years. Being chosen by the Eighth Ancestor in the first place was not our intention, but we couldn't be the masters of our own lives. Today, we want to make a choice for our own lives!"

The remaining Deacons and Law Enforcers heard this and were slightly silent. Then, most of them successively stepped forward: "We are willing to leave with the Hall Master!"

"We…" Finally, less than ten people remained. "We still want to stay, we don't want to risk our lives, let's just get by. Please forgive us, Hall Master…"

After they finished speaking, they slapped each other, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, their spirits and energy weakened. They said, "This way, the Eighth Ancestor should not blame us! This place is not suitable for a long stay, please leave quickly, Hall Master and the others!"

"You choose your own lives, take care of yourselves."

Xing Baitian looked at them and said to those who had decided to follow him, "Come into my cave heaven!"

After speaking, he opened his cave heaven and put those people inside. With a wave of his sleeve, the restriction on the main hall was lifted, and he instantly disappeared.

About a quarter of an hour after Xing Baitian left, he had already left the Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters far behind.

At this time, the remaining eight people covered their chests and rushed out of the main hall, heading towards the area where the Eighth Ancestor lived, shouting loudly, "Xing Baitian has led the crowd to defect! Quickly report to the Eighth Ancestor!"

"What?"

Upon hearing such news, the Eighth Ancestor's mountain exploded.

At this time, the Eighth Ancestor, who had received the news of Xingmeng and the others' betrayal, was already extremely furious and was thinking about how to question Xing Baitian.

Xing Baitian was the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, with a very high status and extremely strong strength.

To question Xing Baitian, he had to think of a good way.

But at this moment, he received the news of Xing Baitian leading his subordinates to defect, and he was immediately so angry that his blood surged upwards, and he staggered under his feet.

"Bastard! Bastard!" The Eighth Ancestor was so angry that he slapped the table in front of him, which was made of top-grade semi-holy materials, causing cracks to spread all over it, almost disintegrating. He said in a cold voice, "Good you, Xing Baitian, you dare to kill people and defect in the Law Enforcement Hall. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, this Ancestor will definitely kill you! You are opposing the entire Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters!"

"Eighth Ancestor, calm your anger. This Xing Baitian must have been premeditating for a long time. He was planning today's defection from the moment he sent out his confidants like Xingmeng! By doing this, the entire Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters will not let him go. The nature of this matter is extremely serious!"

A cold light burst out in the Eighth Ancestor's eyes: "Immediately notify the entire Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters that Xing Baitian killed people and defected with the crowd at the Headquarters! This Ancestor wants to see, in this starry sky, where he can find a place to stay, unless he forever shrinks back into a dark corner!"

"Yes! Eighth Ancestor, what about Jun Wuxie…"

"For the time being, there is no need to pay attention to Jun Wuxie. Since the Holy Ancient Mansion has taken action, we will just watch. This time, the Holy Ancient Mansion lost three Grand Elder Protector-level powerhouses, which is known throughout the starry sky. The Holy Ancient Mansion, which has never suffered the slightest loss, will not let it go, and will definitely send a large number of powerhouses to intercept and kill him in the Fallen Star Region!"

“Eighth Ancestor is wise!”

“All of you, step back!”

The Eighth Ancestor waved his hand with a gloomy face, then sat on the chair in silence, his eyes flashing with cold light from time to time, wondering what he was thinking.

… …

At the same time, in the vast starry sky, on a planet with a dense atmosphere and no life.

Xingmeng and others received a message from Xing Baitian through the Starry Sky Rune Communicator.

Their expressions were both shocked and joyful.

“What are you so happy about?”

Jun Wuxie looked at them in confusion.

“Lord Jun, our Hall Master has come out. He killed dozens of people from the Enforcement Hall who were loyal to the Eighth Ancestor, and brought almost all of the rest out with him, defecting from the Eighth Ancestor, saying he is going to Emperor Beginning Star!”

“Your Hall Master, he is leading many strong people to Emperor Beginning Star?”

Jun Wuxie was shocked, but he had to be vigilant. The Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall must be an extremely powerful figure.

If it was really a defection, then so be it, but if this is a deeply planned scheme, then he is a dangerous person.

“Lord Jun, there is no need to doubt. Now the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters has announced the defection of the Hall Master and others to the entire starry sky. When we came out, the Hall Master specially instructed us to make this choice.”

Xingmeng immediately explained the situation inside the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters in detail.

Jun Wuxie had a general understanding. He opened the Starry Sky Rune Communicator and saw the announcement issued by the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters, as well as the Starry Sky Wanted Order, listing the names of all the wanted people, with the leader being the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, named Xing Baitian. Xingmeng and others were also on the list.

With this announcement and wanted order, Jun Wuxie naturally no longer doubted the defection.

For such an ancient and huge force as the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters, it would never create such a false announcement and wanted order just to set up a trap against him.

“Lord Jun, look at Qingyi and the others…”

“Qingyi and the others did some stupid things before. Please give them a chance, Lord Jun. Qingyi and the others are not bad in nature except for being a little arrogant. Please, Lord Jun…”

“You don’t need to say anymore.” Jun Wuxie interrupted them and said, “I never intended to kill Qingyi and the others, otherwise I would have already killed their souls. With their talents, even if they die, they should die gloriously in the future resisting the doomsday torrent, not like this.”

Jun Wuxie gave Qingyi and the others' heads and bodies to Xingmeng and the others.

“Take these divine beast blood and Chiyu Ginseng. Their bodies are greatly damaged, and these resources can help them recover quickly.”

He took out a small bottle and more than a dozen crystal-clear mountain ginsengs flowing with red light.

“Divine beast blood?”

Xingmeng and the others' pupils shrank, their faces full of shock.

The Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters has a deep foundation. No force under the starry sky can compare to it. Divine beast blood exists, but it is also extremely rare. Only a very few people are qualified to enjoy it, but Jun Wuxie took it out casually, just to heal Qingyi and the others?

And Chiyu Ginseng, this is also a rare treasure, and it is only used for healing, this is too exaggerated!
