#848 - This is a story of a river of sadness.

Fallen ancient star. In that vast mountain range, everyone was looking at the starry sky.

The activity in the starry sky had been silent for a long time. It seemed the battle had ended, and everything had come to a close.

The founder of the Zhuxian Dynasty, that young supreme being whose name had shaken the starry sky in recent years, had he really fallen like this?

The powerhouses from forces such as the Tongsheng Ancient Mansion, the Sixth Ancestor lineage of the Starry Sky Ancient Road Headquarters, the Heavenly Law Dao Soil, the Heavenly Law Four Sects, the Tianhuang Family, and the Dawei Buddhist Temple all had unconcealable smiles on their faces.

It's finally over.

That major concern was forever buried in the starry sky.

In this session of the Heavenly Position Dao Fruit competition, that youth didn't even have the chance to set foot on this ancient star before losing his life.

The powerhouses from other forces sighed inwardly. Such a rising, brilliant new star, a figure who could have dominated the starry sky in the future, had died just like that.

No matter how brilliant a person is, how could they withstand the siege of so many top-tier forces?

Such an outstanding talent was truly a pity, a lamentable loss…

To kill that youth, these top-tier forces had truly invested a great deal of resources. Now, they had finally achieved their wish.

"Hmm!" The Grand Elder of Tongsheng Ancient Mansion, Song Zan, smiled broadly, scanned the crowd, and said, "Everyone, a small interlude has now come to an end. The powerhouses from my ancient mansion are about to arrive. In the end, some will be happy, and some will cry."

After speaking, he looked at the Grand Elder of Vangu Heaven with a playful gaze.

He wasn't afraid of the other party knowing that they had intercepted and killed Jun Wuxie. Everyone present knew this tacitly; it wasn't a secret at all. It was just that no one had revealed it.

Previously, they had vehemently denied that the one they intercepted and killed was Jun Wuxie, but so what?

None of that mattered. As long as the outcome was decided, Jun Wuxie was dead. What if the truth was exposed before everyone's eyes?

At that time, everything would be a foregone conclusion, and there would be no turning back. Even if the Military Saint were to arrive in person, she wouldn't be able to change anything.

Besides, no matter how invincible the Military Saint was, could she possibly make things difficult for them?

Such an existence was feared by all the major forces in this starry sky, but at the same time, they also harbored murderous intent towards her.

If she really dared to show up and act tough, she would inevitably be besieged by numerous peak-level Heavenly Position experts.

A few peak experts might not be able to defeat the Military Saint, but what about ten, twenty, or thirty?

"Speaking of which, your Vangu Heaven Ancient Academy hasn't been able to raise its head for many years. That feeling must not be pleasant, right? What do you think will happen in this session?" Song Zan looked at the Grand Elder of Vangu Heaven, his face full of mockery.

"I think you might be smiling too early."

The Grand Elder of Vangu Heaven met Song Zan's gaze with a calm expression.

"Is that so?" Song Zan stroked his beard, his smile gradually deepening, and said, "Actually, that's not the main point. The main point is that your Vangu Heaven might soon be grief-stricken, hahaha!"

"Someone is coming from the starry sky!"

The voices of the crowd interrupted Song Zan. He looked up, and there, streaks of light were cutting through the starry sky, heading towards this ancient star.

"Hmm, the powerhouses from my ancient mansion are returning with heads!"

The smile on his face was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved. He mocked, "What a truly sad story of sorrow flowing like a river… Hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and his pupils violently contracted.

Why were there only two streaks of light?

The other powerhouses also noticed something was wrong, and their eyes revealed strange expressions.

Just then, the two streaks of light broke through the atmosphere and instantly arrived above this mountain range.

The two streaks of light suddenly stopped, the light faded, and revealed the young faces of a man and a woman.

"Hello, everyone." Jun Wuxie waved enthusiastically to the people present, his smile extremely sunny and bright, revealing his white teeth. He stepped down from the high altitude, looked at the powerhouses of the Tongsheng Ancient Mansion with enthusiasm, and said, "Esteemed fellow Daoists of the Tongsheng Ancient Mansion, your enthusiasm is truly making me feel overwhelmed by favor. Knowing that I was coming here, you sent people early to welcome me warmly in the starry sky, sending fourteen heads as ornaments. Such a generous gift, I express my deep gratitude."

As he spoke, he patted his waist, where fourteen bloody heads were extremely glaring, and fresh blood was still dripping from the severed necks.

Those heads were pale, their eyes wide open, and terror and unwillingness were frozen in their pupils. Some were opening their mouths, looking extremely miserable.

The entire mountain area was silent. Everyone looked in shock at the heads hanging on his waist. That scene was too shocking to the visual nerves, shocking to the soul!

The muscles on the faces of the powerhouses from the Tongsheng Ancient Mansion were stiff, their lips trembling, and their bodies were shaking.

"Fellow Daoist Song Zan." The Grand Elder of Vangu Heaven sighed and said, "This is truly a sad story of sorrow flowing like a river."

"You!"

Hearing this, Song Zan choked with anger, almost passing out. His body trembled violently.

These were the words he had just used to mock Vangu Heaven, but in the blink of an eye, the other party had returned them unchanged.

At this moment, thinking of his previous smug expression and words, it was as if slaps were hitting his face hard, so burning hot, becoming the laughingstock of everyone!

"Fellow Daoist Song Zan, I express my sympathy for the misfortune of your Tongsheng Ancient Mansion." Vangu Heaven stepped forward and patted Song Zan, whose face was ashen and trembling, and said sadly, "At this moment, I feel the same as you, with thousands of words in my heart but not knowing how to express them. I just want to tell you, fellow Daoist, it's not a crime for a man to cry. You always have to taste the taste of tears."

Pfft!

Hearing this, Song Zan couldn't bear it any longer. He was so angry that he attacked his heart, and he spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Grand Elder!"

Several elders nearby, with faces full of grief and indignation, hurriedly stepped forward to support Song Zan, whose body was swaying.

"Hey, Grand Elder Song Zan, what's wrong?"

Jun Wuxie rushed up with a shocked expression and said, "Your esteemed mansion is welcoming me so grandly. Seeing me, you are so excited that you vomit three liters of blood. Such enthusiasm, I am extremely moved, with tears in my eyes. Grand Elder Song Zan is truly kind and warm-hearted!"

"You little brat, I'll chop you to pieces!!!"

Song Zan went berserk on the spot. Originally, he could still forcibly restrain his anger, but he lost control under Jun Wuxie's provocation.

His aura swept across the six directions and eight wildernesses, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently. The runes on his palm were dazzling as he blasted forward.

"Song Zan, you dare to act wildly in front of me?"

Vangu Heaven shouted sternly, instantly blocking Jun Wuxie. Behind him, a divine phantom filled with divinity flashed and disappeared. The light on his palm was dazzling as it collided with Song Zan's palm with a bang.

The two palms met in the air.

In an instant, the same true energy swept into the starry sky, directly penetrating a small star directly above, blasting it into endless fragments of stars.

The violent energy aftermath swept out, sweeping across the entire mountain range, causing everyone to change color.

Those peak-level Heavenly Position experts hurriedly used secret techniques, constructing true energy barriers to protect the people around them.

Pfft!

Song Zan's body retreated frantically, smashing through the void, spraying blood wildly.

"You…"

His arm convulsed, his entire palm cracked, his bones shattered, and blood dripped. He stared at Vangu Heaven in shock and anger, "Divine King Bloodline! Vangu Heaven, you've hidden so deeply!"

"Divine King Bloodline?"

It wasn't just Song Zan who was shocked. Apart from the higher-ups of Vangu Heaven Ancient Academy and Jun Wuxie, everyone else was shocked.

This Grand Elder of Vangu Heaven Ancient Academy was actually the legendary Divine King Bloodline, which could be called the king and supreme among many divine bloodlines. It was said that this bloodline had unlimited potential, representing no upper limit to growth!

Before today, many forces in the starry sky knew that Vangu Heaven was very strong.

After all, he was the helmsman of Vangu Heaven Ancient Academy. Since ancient times, the people who could become the Grand Elder of Vangu Heaven Ancient Academy were extremely powerful. There was not a single weakling, and they were bound to be the best among the peak-level Heavenly Positions.

But no one expected that he would be so powerful, possessing the blood of the Divine King. He exchanged palms with Song Zan, who was also the Grand Elder of the ancient mansion, and actually shattered his palm with one palm!

That Song Zan was a super-powerful expert. Among the experts at the peak-level Heavenly Position realm, he was a top figure who could fight several people alone.

"How about it, does anyone else want to try?"

Vangu Heaven carried his hands on his back, looking down on all the powerhouses of the Tongsheng Ancient Mansion. Then, his gaze swept over the Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Law Dao Soil and other forces. His posture was very strong, completely different from his previous gentle attitude.

"Hmph, are you Tongsheng Ancient Mansion unable to afford to lose?" The Spirit Race Lord Yun Haifeng opened his mouth and said, "Before the Heavenly Position competition, your Tongsheng Ancient Mansion sent people to intercept and kill Jun Wuxie, but failed. You still want to take action in front of the people of Vangu Heaven Ancient Academy, which is disgusting! Also, everyone present, we are all guests here to watch the battle. Don't interfere in their affairs, and don't lose the face of your sects and families!"

"Clan Leader Yun is right. Those who come to watch the battle should correct their identities. Let Vangu Heaven Ancient Academy and Tongsheng Ancient Mansion resolve their disputes themselves."

A very pleasant voice came from above the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw three figures descending from the sky.

They were two white-haired elders and a beautiful woman in a cyan dress.

"Fairy Qingyue, you've come too."

Yun Haifeng greeted with a smile, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

Those two elders were unfathomable, and it felt like they were on the same level as Song Zan, but Fairy Qingyue was standing in the middle of them.

Such a position was enough to show that Fairy Qingyue's identity and status in the Curious Tales Tower were extremely respected and extraordinary.

What exactly is the identity of this woman who often appears in the starry sky rune communicators for live broadcasts?

At this time, others, like Yun Haifeng, were shocked by Fairy Qingyue's identity and status.

Before this, everyone thought that Fairy Qingyue was just an ordinary broadcast steward in the Curious Tales Tower, but now it seemed that the previous guesses were completely wrong.

"Hehe, Jun Shen, how have you been?"

Qingyue came to Jun Wuxie and greeted him with a smile.

Jun Wuxie, recovering from the shock of her extraordinary identity, smiled and said, "It's only been a year or two, but Fairy Qingyue has become even more refined and otherworldly. I almost thought she was a goddess who stepped out of a painting; I almost didn't recognize her."

Fairy Qingyue covered her mouth and giggled, saying, "Divine Lord Jun, do you say this to all beautiful women? No wonder so many proud daughters of heaven are so captivated by you."

"Cough, do I?" Jun Wuxie stroked his chin and said, "Actually, I'm a very clumsy talker and not good at praising people. I can only speak the truth."

"I'd believe that if pigs could fly."

Although Qingyue said that, she was secretly pleased.

Women in this world, when faced with praise from someone they don't dislike, will feel happy. Qingyue was no exception.

"Fairy Qingyue, are you here to livestream?"

"Otherwise, what? Did you think I came all this way just to see Divine Lord Jun?" Fairy Qingyue teased. The two elders beside her coughed lightly, seemingly embarrassed by her teasing a man in public.

"Have you caught a cold?"

Qingyue glanced at the two elders, causing the muscles on their faces to twitch.

Would experts at the pinnacle of the Extremely High Heaven Realm catch a cold?

"Saintess, we are here to livestream the battle. It's best not to interfere in their grievances."

One of the elders said in a low voice. The Saintess was so enthusiastic in chatting with Jun Wuxie as soon as she arrived, clearly trying to tell everyone that she and Jun Wuxie had a good relationship. This was an attempt to get the entire Tower of Myriad Wonders to support him.

"Your duty is to protect me. Anything else is beyond your scope of responsibility."

The smile on Qingyue's face disappeared, and she glanced coldly at the two elders.

The two elders exchanged glances and sighed secretly, no longer speaking.

"This is the Ancestor's intention."

Qingyue secretly transmitted her voice to them. The two elders were stunned for a moment and replied through voice transmission, "Is the Saintess saying that the Ancestor is optimistic about and has chosen Jun Wuxie?"

"Otherwise, why do you think our Tower of Myriad Wonders would bet trillions of spirit coins on Ji Beilan that day?"

...

At this time, Songzan, who had recovered his hand, also calmed down, realizing that the situation was beyond his control, and said, "Fairy Qingyue of the Tower of Myriad Wonders and the two fellow Daoists must be laughing at me. It was just a misunderstanding."

He said this without blushing or skipping a beat, causing many people to despise him.

To call this a misunderstanding, his skin is really thick enough.

"Great Elder Songzan is right," Jun Wuxie deliberately patted the head hanging on his waist and said, "This is indeed a misunderstanding. However, I would still like to thank the Sacred Ancient Clan for the exquisite and unique ornament. I like it very much."

Instantly, the anger that the powerhouses of the Sacred Ancient Clan had managed to suppress surged into their brains, almost causing them to go berserk again.

Too hateful!

That little brat is provoking them like crazy, slapping them in the face in public, but in this situation, they can't do anything and can only swallow their anger.
