Chapter 944: Guard Commander

A soft chuckle left Liu Jiuzhen’s lips. “Heh... It’s fine if anyone else comes. I couldn’t care less. However, it’s a different story now that you, the Imperial Uncle of the Dajun Dynasty’s Emperor, came. I can’t help but think back to the grudge your Spirit Abundance World has with their Spirit Luxuriant World.”

The elegance in the voice disappeared and a mocking sneer emerged. “Heh, why do you care? Liu Jiuzhen, are you thinking about interfering with the conflict regarding our world?”

“Our Star Origin City will not interfere in any conflict, but you’re not allowed to cause trouble here!” Liu Jiuzhen also turned serious when facing the powerful existence.

A chuckle filled the air the next moment and the Imperial Uncle of the Dajun Dynasty’s Emperor clearly didn’t seem to care about the warning. However, he didn’t say anything else.

The next moment, a calm voice rang above the Void Hall. “Immortal Liu, you’re too sensitive. With the Star Origin Lord’s overwhelming strength, there’s no need for you Star Origin Guards to threaten us.”

His tone was clearly unfriendly, but his words made it clear that he had nothing against the Star Origin City. He seemed to only be targeting Liu Jiuzhen and there was some element of mockery contained within insinuating that Liu Jiuzhen was merely masquerading around by borrowing the prestige of the Star Origin Lord.

That didn’t stop Liu Jiuzhen from retorting. “Heh, True Immortal He, you really came over from the Spirit Tinkle World. From what I’ve heard, True Immortal He has always been firm and stable when dealing with matters. Right, weren’t you also one who gained your fame through the help of your seniors? Hehe... You truly widened my horizons today... To think that you would use the same term on me...”

“Asshole! How dare you humiliate me?!” The calm voice turned into an enraged cry. Powerful spatial ripples appeared in the skies above the stone platform and it seemed as though True Immortal He would pass through space to personally descend on the Star Origin City to deal with Liu Jiuzhen.

Looks of fear appeared on the faces of those who surrounded the Void Hall and many of them turned pale from the impending threat.

A gentle and feminine voice eventually emerged from the void. “True Immortal He, why are you getting all worked up for? All of us are just joking around with each other. Are you really going to embarrass yourself in front of our juniors? If you continue to mess around with space, even I won’t be able to send any more voice transmissions over...”

As soon as her voice arrived, a sea of stars filled the air and the spatial fluctuations died down immediately.

A cold snort came from True Immortal He, but he no longer spoke after that.

Instead, Liu Jiuzhen was the next to speak. He seemed to be fawning a little as he muttered, “I didn’t think that True Immortal Lu Yan would also come. Apologies, I forgot that the Void Hall connected to the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World is the same...”

True Immortal Lu Yan didn’t seem impressed by Liu Jiuzhen but her voice still remained gentle and cool. “True Immortal Liu, you exaggerate. Even if the Void Hall we are connected to are the same, there’s no way the Void Hall personally designed by the Star Origin Lord would be damaged. Anyway... I understand your goodwill by protecting this place well...”

Liu Jiuzhen laughed in response, “Of course! I have to defend it to the best of my abilities. However, because of the short argument with some people... I’m afraid the essence crystals I’m going to receive in the next cycle will be greatly reduced...”

For someone of his status to publicly bring up something like that was a clear indication that he was shooting for True Immortal He’s compensation for whatever he had done earlier.

The Star Origin City was able to maintain its position among the various worlds not just because of its strategic location. The Star Origin Lord’s overwhelming strength was the most important factor and the rules he set were law in the city. The Star Origin Guards were the executioners of the law and they did everything by the books!

A cold snort came from one side of the platform, but the True Immortals present understood that it was True Immortal He’s acknowledgment of whatever Liu Jiuzhen said.

True Immortal Lu Yan’s voice rang through the skies again. “Right, it’s not like I completely disagree with Imperial Uncle Xiong and True Immortal He either. For the record, it’s truly been a long time since a world was connected to the Star Origin City. It’s lonely in the vast sea of stars and all of us are bored to death. We don’t interact much and we’re out of topics to talk about to those we know. For example, True Immortal Liu and True Immortal He... Aren’t you sick of each other already? Shouldn’t we host an exchange of some sort?”

Soft laughter came from the space above the platform and from the sound of it, the many True Immortals who gathered were very entertained by the confrontation.

True Immortal Lu Yan continued, “Now that we finally have new people to join our ranks, they can bring a fresh perspective to this pool of stagnant water. We should take this chance to properly interact with each other. At the very least, it’s better than arguing like children every time we meet. True Immortal Fei Zhang, what do you think?”

“Hah! This old man thinks that True Immortal Lu Yan makes sense!” A powerful voice rang through the air. “I was afraid of interrupting True Immortal Liu’s construction of the spatial tunnel with our fellow cultivators from the Spirit Luxuriant World and didn’t dare to speak earlier. Anyway... Right. True Immortal Lu Yan makes sense, but I feel like we should consider the opinions of our fellow cultivators from the Spirit Luxuriant World. After all, they’re the people we’re actually talking about, hahaha...”

True Immortal Fei Zhang’s voice seemed extremely jarring to the ears, but he seemed to be signaling his goodwill to the members of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

His identity seemed extremely special as well. After he spoke, many True Immortals who hadn’t shown themselves immediately agreed.

In the skies above the Star Relay, Martial Void Realm experts from the various worlds started to interact with each other. In the wide plaza below, the various juniors were awestruck. None of them had ever witnessed such a grand scene and they focused on everything that was going on for fear of missing anything.

Among them, Shang Xia seemed to notice 2 very important things that stood out.

The first was the fact that more than 10 spatial tunnels formed after True Immortal Fei Zhang made the suggestion.

With Shang Xia’s current understanding of the Star Origin City and the Star Relay, every world would only need a single spatial tunnel. That would mean that other than the 4 great Spirit Worlds that were connected to the Star Origin City, the other 7 Azure Worlds might also possess Martial Void Realm True Immortals!

It wasn’t as though the Azure Ascension World of the past didn’t possess Martial Void Realm True Immortals in the first place...

If one thought about it logically, it made sense. Without a Martial Void Realm True Immortal, no one would dare to form a connection to the Star Origin City!

As for how those Martial Void Realm True Immortals of the Azure Worlds appeared... It wasn’t time to think about all that now.

Secondly... The Martial Void Realm True Immortals of the various worlds were merely communicating from the different corners of the Void Hall. The spatial tunnels they created might have connected to other Void Halls, but Shang Xia could feel that only 3 Void Halls possessed spatial tunnels connecting to the various worlds. They were those in the top right, top left, and bottom left corner of the Star Relay. The bottom right Void Hall didn’t seem to possess any aura of a spatial tunnel!

There was no way the Star Origin City would waste resources to construct a Void Hall, only to leave it empty!

When Shang Xia was still thinking about the uses of the other Void Hall, a majestic aura rose from Star Origin City before appearing in the skies above the Star Relay the next moment.

The protection formation didn’t seem to affect the newcomer as they passed through it without a hitch.

Starlight fell and covered a third of the Star Relay. It seemed as though the ruler of the stars had arrived.

“Senior Brother Zhuge, you’re here!” Liu Jiuzhen was the first to speak. There was a trace of solemnity in his voice.

From what Shang Xia could feel with his divine will, there were more than 10 Martial Void Realm True Immortals above the Star Relay. It was no wonder Liu Jiuzhen was so excited to see another Star Origin Guard.

As soon as Liu Jiuzhen gave his greeting, the Star Origin Guards in the Star Relay spoke in unison. “Greetings, Guard Commander!”

Damn... It’s actually the Guard Commander...

Shang Xia thought to himself.

“At ease!” The Guard Commander’s voice boomed and soon after, the Star Curtain that covered a third of the Star Relay disappeared. A Star Origin Guard clad in his Star Robes strolled out from the Void Hall Shang Xia and the rest had been in earlier and Shang Xia could tell it was Liu Jiuzhen. Only a blurry mist of starlight remained.

Within the mist, the Guard Commander’s voice emerged. “This old man has been in seclusion the entire time and didn’t know something so significant would happen today. I apologize for not rushing over quickly.”

The blurry mist of starlight spun about slightly the next moment and he seemed to be communicating with the rest of the Star Origin Guards.

“Commander Zhuge is too polite!”

“There’s no need to apologize!”

“We should be the ones apologizing for interrupting Commander Zhuge’s cultivation!”

“...”

Shang Xia heard how many of them had intentions of kissing up to Commander Zhuge now that they had spoken. One could easily see how respectful they were of the Guard Commander! Even if they weren’t exactly respectful, they were at least fearful of him.

He couldn’t tell how strong the Guard Captain exactly was, but Liu Jiuzhen was a second tier Martial Void Realm expert and was already acting so respectfully in front of Commander Zhuge.

True Immortal Fei Zhang eventually spoke again. “Brother Zhuge, since you showed your face today, it looks like you have to be the person in charge of the exchange we’re about to have!”

True Immortal Lu Yan added right after, “Senior Zhuge served the Star Origin Lord for countless years now and is extremely experienced. With you as the host, the upcoming exchange will be the highlight of the Star Origin World that hasn’t been seen in the past hundreds of years!”

Imperial Uncle Xiong of the Spirit Abundance World also spoke up the next moment. “We hope Commander Zhuge can agree to host an exchange between us True Immortals!”

Even True Immortal He, who had been unceremoniously shot down by Liu Jiuzhen earlier, agreed. “Yes, Senior Zhuge, please!”

Commander Zhuge in the blurry mist didn’t agree immediately, Instead, he directed his question into the newly formed spatial tunnel. “Fellow cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World, you haven’t said anything from the start! Even though the other True Immortals have been the ones speaking, you guys are the reason they’re here. What do you think of their suggestion?”

Everyone’s attention turned to the newly formed spatial tunnel the next moment.

Shang Xia couldn’t help but press his lips together in a sneer. Since he had already put things that way, was there a way for the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World to reject the exchange?

There was no suspense as a moment later, Zhang Xuansheng, who had the highest cultivation realm in the Spirit Luxuriant World, responded. “As a newly ascended world, our Spirit Luxuriant World is happy to receive pointers from fellow experts of other worlds!”
