C407 Embarrassment
In the frozen space, the pair of withered palms lightly caught the feet of the lightning beast and the Devouring Seal. It was so slow, but it gave off an extremely powerful feeling.
"Crack!"
Under the pressure of the withered palm, the two attacks gradually separated. There was no collision between them, and the space around them fell into a deathly silence, without a single sound to be heard.
After which, under the dumbstruck gazes of the crowd, an incomparably resplendent Star Light appeared on the palms of the spectators. It was extremely gorgeous, and the palms of the hands became incomparably translucent, akin to the hands of a god, emanating a gentle energy that could calm down all attacks.
In the blink of an eye, the auras radiating from the two attacks rapidly decreased. With a huge boom, the lightning beasts and Devouring Seals all transformed into star-like specks before dissipating.
"How could this be?" Nangong Cang's expression trembled as he looked at the pair of palms, unable to say a single word. Just who had interrupted the attack that he had been preparing for a long time?
A sharp light flashed through Qin Xuan's eyes, and he instantly seemed to realize something. He immediately retracted all of the energy within his body, but his body was still in a battle-ready state. He had a premonition that the owners of those palms weren't simple people.
"Could it be …" Liu Shan and a few other disciples with higher status shuddered, their eyes revealed shock, as though they were thinking of a terrifying person.
The disciples looked at each other, and all of them could see the fear in the other party's eyes. In the entire Northern Dipper Mansion, aside from the existence of Imperial Palace, only one person possessed such a godly might.
Tens of thousands of years ago, two Martial Saint level experts were born in the Northern Dipper Mansion. Their talent was extraordinary, and they were able to suppress the heaven's pride experts of the same generation.
One of them was called Beidou Zi, a name that very few people knew. However, his other name was known by everyone, the Stellar Lord of the Northern Dipper.
The other Zhi Zun was the senior brother of the Stellar Lord of the Northern Dipper.
The two of them were disciples of the same sect, both of them cultivated the Power of the Stars, and what was even more terrifying was that both of them possessed astonishing innate talent, to the extent of cultivating the Power of the Stars to an extremely profound level in just a few hundred years, and they were both incomparably powerful.
In the end, the two of them worked together to kill the Most Powerful One's Sacred Profound Realm's Sect Leader. Together, they created the Big Dipper Palace, changed dynasties, and established a new territory.
No one knew of his whereabouts. From then on, the name of the Big Dipper Heavenly Palace changed to Northern Dipper Mansion, and the people of the world only knew of the Stellar Lord of the Northern Dipper, but the Heavenly Star Lord was gradually forgotten by everyone.
Tens of thousands of years had passed. The Stellar Lord of the Northern Dipper ruled over the Northern Dipper Mansion for tens of thousands of years, bringing the Northern Dipper Mansion to its peak. However, before this, there was still no news regarding the Heavenly Star Lord, which caused many people to forget about the mighty being who once had an incomparable glory.
Pavilion of the Northern Dipper had been established since the creation of the Northern Dipper Mansion, and after tens of thousands of years, he recorded many things related to the Heavenly Star Lord. As a result, when the core disciples saw the magnificent Star Light, they found a clue from deep within their memories.
"Fifth senior brother!" Liu Shan's gaze trembled, and he sent a sound transmission to a man in a green robe who was not far away, with a questioning look in his eyes.
The azure-robed man drew in a deep breath, his countenance extremely grave. Even if he was proficient in ancient books and was well-versed in scriptures, he still wouldn't dare to be certain of the identity of the person who acted. After all, this was related to a Zhizun realm expert.
No fights are allowed in the Northern Dipper Inn. I will let off the first offense temporarily. If there is a next time, I will strip you of your qualifications to participate in the selection." "A voice rang out from the void, filled with an archaic air.
The azure-robed man bowed respectfully towards the sky, and with a look of reverence, he said: "Junior is the fifth disciple of Pavilion of the Northern Dipper Duan Chen, I wonder which senior took action first, I hope senior can enlighten me."
"He's merely a protector, and has merely lived for a short period of time. Why would he know his name? Step down." The voice came again. The azure-robed man suddenly felt a gentle force strike his body, but it did not cause him any harm. Instead, he pushed him away.
The azure-robed man was shocked, he was even more certain of the guess in his heart. This senior's identity was obviously not ordinary, but he was unwilling to reveal it, there must be a reason behind it. Even if he was not Heavenly Star Lord, he should still be connected to him.
Just as the disciples of the Stellar Pavilion were about to return and tell the elders about this matter, a voice suddenly rang out in their minds.
"Pavilion of the Northern Dipper knows of all matters under the heavens, but there are some things that it is better to not know of."
As the sound of his voice faded, the voice of the old man could no longer be heard. However, waves of shock raged in the hearts of the disciples as their souls trembled, unable to calm down for a long time.
The meaning of the old man's words just now was very clear. He didn't want Pavilion of the Northern Dipper to record what happened today, but Pavilion of the Northern Dipper was only ordered to do so by Northern Dipper Mansion, no one had ever dared to stop him from doing what he did, yet the old man did it in an extremely calm manner, as if he was speaking in an extremely ordinary manner.
It was as if the Northern Dipper Mansion was not that scary in his eyes.
"Fifth senior brother, what should we do?" Many disciples asked Duan Chen through sound transmission.
Duan Chen's face revealed a pondering expression. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Today's matter should still be kept a secret. If Pavilion Master were to ask and then answer truthfully, I believe that Pavilion Master would understand."
All of the disciples nodded their heads lightly when they heard him, because they had no other choice. After all, they were all present, and with how powerful the martial cultivator's memory was, as long as they swept it with their souls, it would be recorded down. If this matter was told to the upper echelons, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The person who was the most furious was undoubtedly Nangong Cang. He had gone to all the trouble to force Qin Xuan into a fight, but in the end, he was stopped by an unknown elder.
After being surprised for a moment, Qin Xuan regained his calm. This was the Northern Dipper Mansion, where many experts were present as well as many hidden old antiques, all of them were unknown, nobody knew when they would come out, and it was not strange for some old monsters to suddenly appear.
Very quickly, everyone turned their attention back to Qin Xuan and Nangong Cang. With the words of the old man, the battle would naturally not happen again, but the previous clash had been interrupted, and the victor was unknown, who knew how it would end.
Nangong Cang's gaze turned towards Qin Xuan and said coldly, "If it were not for someone stopping you, you would have been burnt to ashes with that strike."
"How laughable." Qin Xuan spat out two words, full of ridicule.
"Alright." Duan Chen opened his mouth and interrupted the two of them, he looked at Nangong Cang and scolded him: "You heard what that senior said, as the heaven's pride of the Star Ranking, it is disgraceful of you to go as far as forcing the younger generation, let's drop the matter here, don't bring it up again, do you hear me?"
Nangong Cang's expression froze as he stared at Duan Chen in a daze, unable to believe that these words came from his mouth. Duan Chen was ranked fifth in the Pavilion of the Northern Dipper, even higher than Liu Shan.
"What, is what I said useless?" Seeing that Nangong Cang did not react, Duan Chen's tone became even more serious, immediately causing Nangong Cang's heart to tremble, he immediately said: "Junior understands."
Although he agreed on the surface, Nangong Cang was still extremely unwilling to let this matter pass. He stared at Qin Xuan like he was a poisonous snake and was determined to find an opportunity to get rid of him.
"Yes." Duan Chen nodded his head in satisfaction, then looked at Qin Xuan, and spoke sincerely: "Although this matter is not caused by you, as a junior, you should respect your elders, if necessary, endure it, if not, you will suffer from the hidden arrows. Do you understand?"
"Dark Arrow's wound?" On the surface, he seemed to be instructing to learn how to endure patiently, but in reality, the important part was the last few words. He had to be careful of Nangong Cang, his eyes revealing a trace of gratitude, he cupped his fists and said: "Junior understands."
"This old thing." Nangong Cang cursed in his heart, and anyone who heard what Duan Chen said would know that he was up to something. At the same time, he was also warning not to act in secret;
Seeing how Duan Chen's simple sentence dispelled the awkward situation, many people shot him looks of admiration. As expected of the fifth ranked disciple of the Pavilion of the Northern Dipper, he was indeed extraordinary, no one dared to disobey his words, even a wild person like Nangong Cang had no choice but to obey.
Liu Shan cupped his fists towards Duan Chen and said: "Fifth senior brother, I have an agreement with this little friend just now that I will be the one to receive him, so I will take my leave."
"Go." Duan Chen casually waved his hand. He knew what Liu Shan was thinking and naturally did not try to stop him.
Liu Shan's eyes released a hint of laughter, and turned to look at Qin Xuan, a playful look in his eyes, causing Qin Xuan to feel cold on his back. He had a nagging feeling that if he followed Liu Shan, something bad would happen, but he still bowed and said: "Thank you, senior, for your kindness."
"Come with me." Liu Shan laughed, Qin Xuan's figure flashed and arrived beside Liu Shan, then the two of them stepped into Northern Dipper House together.
In order to compete with Qin Xuan, he had refused many invitations. Amongst them, there were a few disciples who were ranked quite well, and among the remaining disciples, other than Duan Chen, the rest were ranked in the middle to lower rankings.
What made him even more furious was that out of the thirty-six Star Ranking Heaven's Pride, he was the only one who could not find the person who received them. To him, this was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation.
It should be known that the Star Ranking Heaven's Pride had come first because of their superior status, allowing them to choose who to receive them first. But now, he had fallen to being chosen to receive the guests together with the Yuanfu Stage's younger generation, it was unavoidable for people to mock him.
And all of this was because of Liu Shan and the Skymount Swordsman.
