#893 - Borrow a knife

In the vast universe, a certain ancient star of life is enveloped in spiritual energy. It is hidden within a formation, invisible to the naked eye.

The headquarters of the Starry Sky Ancient Road is located on this ancient star of life.

The environment of this planet is extremely beautiful. Standing anywhere and looking at the sky, one sees clouds and mist, a scene of surging spiritual energy.

The headquarters of the Starry Sky Ancient Road is hidden in a vast mountain range on this ancient star.

There, palaces and halls stretch endlessly, majestic and magnificent.

This is an inner world, with countless mountains. Every million miles, one can see magnificent palace buildings.

At this time, in the area governed by the Sixth Ancestor, Seventh Ancestor, and Eighth Ancestor, a large number of people are busy on a wide plain.

These people are transporting various precious materials. Among them, several highly skilled符masters are carving formation runes.

They used precious materials to assemble a formation, but the formation is not yet complete.

"According to the current progress, this formation should be completed in another five or six days."

A ruddy-faced, slightly chubby old man stroked his beard, his face full of triumphant smiles, as he talked with other old men around him.

"Old Six, I never thought we would have this day. The greatest wish of my life is about to be realized, hahaha!"

The Eighth Ancestor was in a very cheerful mood, and even the haze that Jun Wuxie had brought him these days was swept away.

"Old Eight, what do you think the vast world of the upper realm universe will be like? I really look forward to it."

The Seventh Ancestor is a fat man, round and chubby, his eyes narrowed into two slits due to his obesity.

"The upper realm is a high-level cultivation civilization. Once there, we will have resources containing the spiritual energy of saints, break through the shackles, step into the realm of saints, break the shackles binding our bodies, achieve true transcendence, and have a longer life!"

"Well said! Since ancient times, many strong individuals from our Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters have gone to the upper realm to establish a foundation there. As long as we reach the upper realm, we will have a stable cultivation environment. The Saint Realm is just the beginning of our future lives."

"Well, we are now waiting for the Two Heavenly Ancestors and that Daoist Xiao to bring back Qing Yue from the Wonders Pavilion. At that time, we will use the formation and special methods to refine her into the Qinglian本体(original form), and use the Hongmeng origin to open the passage to the upper realm universe!"

Hearing this, the Eighth Ancestor stroked his beard and nodded slightly, saying, "They don't know where they have chased Qing Yue to. It seems they have entered some kind of field, and we can't even contact them. I can't wait any longer."

"I heard that Jun Wuxie went to look for Qing Yue some time ago. I hope there won't be any problems."

There was some faint worry between the Seventh Ancestor's eyebrows.

"Hmph!" The Eighth Ancestor sneered: "The starry sky is vast. Even if that Jun has heaven-defying abilities, he can't find Qing Yue in a short time. The Two Heavenly Ancestors will definitely capture Qing Yue before that."

"That's true. It's far more difficult to find someone in the vast starry sky than finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, our Heavenly Ancestors are supreme giants who can easily erase all traces. The Jun cannot track them!"

Just then, more than a dozen figures broke through the air and arrived here.

"Old Six, Old Seven, Old Eight, what exactly are you trying to do?"

The Great Ancestor and others from the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters arrived, their faces very ugly, full of anger.

"Brother, since you are here, you must already know what we are going to do, so why ask?" The Eighth Ancestor did not care about the attitude of the Great Ancestor and others, and said: "The flood of the end of the world is coming. This life is different from the past. Rather than betting everything, it is better to find another way out. As long as we can open the road to the upper realm, we can take everyone away from the lower realm universe. This is taking responsibility for everyone in our headquarters!"

"Old Eight, you are avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial!" The Great Ancestor was very angry, "I ask you, what was the purpose of our Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters ancestors when they created this force back then?"

"To protect the order of the ancient road, to allow the various cultivation civilizations in the starry sky to collide, exchange cultivation experiences, and learn from each other's strengths, and at the same time to preserve ancient blood for the lower realm universe in the era of doomsday."

"Since you know, doesn't your current behavior count as desertion?"

The Great Ancestor questioned, and the old men who followed him also had questioning eyes.

"What do you mean by desertion? We don't like to hear that!" The Eighth Ancestor sneered: "Do everything within your power. There is no hope in this era. We must first protect ourselves, and being able to take the people from the headquarters to the upper realm can also be considered preserving part of the ancient blood inheritance, isn't it?"

The Great Ancestor's face was livid, and he said: "You just want to go to the upper realm. I don't want to interfere, but your means of going to the upper realm are undesirable! You actually want to use the origin of Qing Yue from the Wonders Pavilion to open the passage. Who is that Qing Yue? The holy maiden of the Wonders Pavilion, the daughter of the Pavilion Master! Will the Wonders Pavilion let this matter rest? Moreover, that Qing Yue has a very good relationship with Jun Wuxie. Some time ago, Jun Wuxie went to look for her!"

"So what? Sacrificing the life of the holy maiden of the Wonders Pavilion can save the lives of so many people in our headquarters, and can also preserve many powerful ancient blood descendants in the lower realm universe. We are doing this to contribute to the lower realm universe. Brother, you shouldn't criticize us, but should support us. After all, we are also upholding the will of our ancestors, don't you think?"

"Bullshit!"

The Great Ancestor was so angry that his beard trembled. This Old Eight's ability to quibble is truly remarkable. He can even say that this is upholding the will of the ancestors. It's outrageous!

"Old Eight, you are quibbling! Don't make your selfishness sound so righteous and refined!" The Second Ancestor said in a cold and deep voice: "Have you not thought about what the consequences will be if Jun Wuxie and the Wonders Pavilion find out that you are chasing Qing Yue? That will bring unpredictable disasters to our Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters!"

"Second Brother, you are encouraging others' ambitions and diminishing your own prestige!" The Sixth Ancestor sneered, his face full of confidence: "What do you think our Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters is? If anyone dares to run wild here, even if that Jun Wuxie is invincible in the starry sky, he will have his blood splattered here! Over these long years, we have absorbed the most outstanding ancient bloodline inheritors in the starry sky, passing them down from generation to generation to this day. There are so many strong individuals who have sealed themselves and are sleeping in the forbidden area that even we ourselves are not clear about it. Who dares to come here to cause trouble?"

"You are overthinking it. By the time Jun Wuxie and the Wonders Pavilion learn the truth, we will have already gone to the upper realm. Besides, so what if they know before that? We are not afraid of them coming, we are only afraid of them not coming. Could it be that our Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters, with all the strong individuals gathered, can't deal with a Jun Wuxie?"

"Even if we can deal with him, how many people will we have to die? Are you prepared to exhaust all our reserves?" The Great Ancestor's anger was blazing: "The end of the world is about to begin, but you are doing such a thing! Once the matter is exposed, don't expect our several lines to help you deal with Jun Wuxie! You had better contact those Heavenly Ancestors immediately and let them come back. It's not too late to turn back before it's too late. If you are obsessed, Jun Wuxie will come, and you will bear all the consequences yourselves!"

After the Great Ancestor finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

He knew that he could not persuade Old Eight and the others. If he forcibly tried to stop them, it would only cause internal strife in the headquarters.

Thinking of this, he felt deeply powerless. When he thought of the consequences of Jun Wuxie knowing about this, a layer of haze enveloped their hearts.

After those things that happened some time ago, now in the entire starry sky, countless forces, who would dare to provoke that killing god?

"Old Eight and the others have completely gone mad!"

Back in the Great Ancestor's palace, the Second Ancestor and others all had gloomy faces.

"What do we do now? We need to make a decision as soon as possible." The Third Ancestor looked solemn and said: "If we ignore this matter and pretend not to know, and let Old Eight and the others continue, the matter will be exposed sooner or later. Even if Old Eight and the others succeed, can we still follow them to the upper realm? If we stay, Jun Wuxie will inevitably vent his anger on us and come to our door!"

"It is definitely impossible to go to the upper realm. That world passage cannot support so many people going to the upper realm. Besides, we must inherit the will of our ancestors. So many years of accumulation are for resisting the darkness in the final doomsday. How can we withdraw?"

The Great Ancestor rubbed his temples weakly as he said this, and after a long silence, he said: "Contact Jun Wuxie and tell him about this! Since Old Eight and the others are obsessed, we must clear our relationship and not let Jun Wuxie misunderstand. Otherwise, before the flood of the end of the world arrives, our reserves will be exhausted in a fight with Jun Wuxie. That is a disaster for the lower realm universe, and we will have no face to face our ancestors!"

"But we don't have Jun Wuxie's contact information."

"Then contact the Wonders Pavilion and explain to them clearly that the pursuit of Qing Yue was done by the combined forces of the Sixth Ancestor, Seventh Ancestor, Eighth Ancestor, and a person surnamed Xiao, and it has nothing to do with us…"

"Great Ancestor!"

A middle-aged man came in a hurry, interrupting the Great Ancestor's words.

"What is it?"

"Reporting to the Great Ancestor, a large number of ancestral-level powerhouses from the Sixth Ancestor, Seventh Ancestor, and Eighth Ancestor's lines have entered the eye of the killing formation!"

"I understand, step back." The Great Ancestor waved his hand, and then looked at the Second Ancestor, and said: "It seems that Old Eight and the others are going further and further away. Tell the Wonders Pavilion about the killing formation as well, and they will notify Jun Wuxie themselves."

"Brother, if we do this…"

The Third Ancestor hesitated, and finally sighed and did not continue.

"This is also a last resort. Old Eight and the others have never been of one mind with us, and they have no intention of inheriting the will of our ancestors. The power of our Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters has long been dispersed. If it weren't for the fact that this era is too special, I would have taken action long ago. Now is a godsend opportunity, and we should make a decisive choice.

"Then I will contact the Wonders Pavilion now…"

After speaking, the Second Ancestor sighed and shook his head, taking out the Starry Sky Rune Communicator.

This outcome was not what he wanted. The best ending would have been for Lao Ba and the others to realize their mistakes and return to the right path, but it seems impossible now, so this is the only way.

… …

On a mysterious ancient star in the starry sky, the Louzhu Qing Yushang and the other old ancestors looked at the rune communicator in their hands with iron-blue faces, their eyes flashing with cold light.

"Good for you, Ji Liu, Ji Qi, Ji Ba!"

Qing Yushang's heroic face was full of coldness, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Earlier, his daughter Qing Yue contacted him, and at the end, he had asked who was chasing her.

He knew about those pinnacle powerhouses in the Heavenly Position Secret Earth, but those people could not pose a life threat to his daughter. He didn't know who had been chasing her afterward.

But his daughter didn't say.

Now that the Second Ancestor of the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters sent a message, he realized that it was actually the three old ancestors of the Ji family joining forces with a person surnamed Xiao!

"Jun Shen saved Qing Yue, he must have killed those pursuers and also knew their identities. With Jun Shen's character, he is very likely to return to the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters. We must inform him of this matter so that he can be prepared."

"Yes, the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters is not to be trifled with. It is like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. The power of the killing formations is terrifying, and I don't know how many sleeping pinnacle giants there are."

As Qing Yushang spoke, he immediately used the Starry Sky Rune Communicator to dial Jun Wuxie's rune number.

"Louzhu, do you need me for something?"

Jun Wuxie and Qing Yue were on their way to the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters when they saw someone contacting him on the communicator. When he saw that it was Qing Yue's father, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Jun Shen, it's about the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters. Just now, the Second Ancestor over there took the initiative to contact me…"

"Besides the Sixth Ancestor and the Eighth Ancestor, the Seventh Ancestor also participated?"

"Yes, the three veins are united, and their strength is unfathomable. Jun Shen, do you plan to break into the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters? If you really want to go, you might as well wait a little longer and wait for the powerhouses from our Qiwu Building to go with you!"

"No need, you guys take care of your own affairs. Qing Yue and I will go to the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters. The mere three veins are nothing, even if there are mythical-level killing formations, they are useless."

Jun Wuxie cut off the connection, put away the communicator, looked at the starry sky ahead, and said, "It seems that Ji Ba and others think they have a deep foundation and are full of confidence."

"They are just frogs in a well,妄想蚍蜉撼树!"

Qing Yue had personally seen how he crushed the three pinnacle giants, and knew his strength well.

The fact that Ji Ba and others still wanted to rely on their deep foundation to fight him head-on made her feel a little ridiculous.

"Their Second Ancestor and others can see reality clearly, and they are also ruthless people who are very good at seizing opportunities. Since they can't solve the internal affairs themselves, they actually want to use my hand to solve the internal strife. Ji Ba and others are, after all, the rulers of the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters, and their actions during this period of time are inseparable from their Great Ancestor and Second Ancestor. My knife is not so easy to borrow. If you gain something, you have to pay the price. There is no such thing as a free lunch."

"Jun Shen, what are you going to do?"

"They borrowed my knife, so they have to do some things according to my wishes."

Jun Wuxie didn't elaborate, locked onto the coordinates of the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters, and used a miniature teleportation array.

In less than a day, they arrived at the star field where the Starry Sky Ancient Road headquarters was located. The rune pupil technique was activated, and an ancient life star hidden within the formation appeared in their sight.
