Nine Revolutions Star Technique

The location of the incident was surprisingly within the First-Grade Pavilion.

Entering the pavilion.

They saw two groups confronting each other.

On one side were Wu Xingyun, Tuoba Ye and their disciples, while on the other side were seven or eight eccentricly dressed loose cultivators. Those loose cultivators began to curse:

”Where did these brats come from, daring to mess with your grandpa?”

Tuoba Ye had been holding back his anger for several days.

He originally planned to visit Wuyun Mountain to relax, but unexpectedly ran into these loose cultivators. Their arrogance only fueled his anger further, and he slammed the table, shouting harshly:

”What, do you want to bully people?”

Upon seeing this, the loose cultivators looked disdainful, seemingly about to take action.

However, when Tuoba Ye slammed the table, a hundred or so people in the First-Grade Pavilion immediately stood up, looking over with unfriendly eyes. Realizing they were outnumbered and facing skilled opponents, the loose cultivators fell silent, not daring to speak further.

The leading loose cultivator offered a conciliatory smile:

”It’s all a misunderstanding, young brothers! We’ll leave right away...”

”Leave? It’s not that easy! Crawl out of here on your knees!” Tuoba Ye sneered.

Hearing this, the evil cultivators were enraged, a cold gleam in their eyes. The disciples of Taotian Palace found this entirely justified. Li Yixing, who was also present, watched all this with an indifferent expression.

However, Ye Qingchen frowned slightly and said:

”Making them crawl out on their knees is too humiliating, isn’t it?”

”Hmph, these people dared to offend our Taotian Palace. The fact that they weren’t killed already shows mercy!” Li Yixing remarked coldly, ”This is the confidence of our Taotian Palace!”

”Aren’t you afraid they won’t accept it?” Ye Qingchen glanced at him with a half-smile.

”Elder Ye, that’s not your concern,” someone interjected from the side, ”In front of our Taotian Palace, whether you’re a dragon, you coil; if a tiger, you must lie down obediently!”

”Exactly!”

Li Yixing, with arms crossed, directly commanded Tuoba Ye, ”Detain these people. I want to see who dares oppose our Taotian Palace! Let their backers come crawling over to apologize!”

Ye Qingchen was about to speak, but then noticed a loose cultivator among the crowd hurriedly slipping away, seemingly off to call for reinforcements.

Recalling the auras he sensed when entering Wuyun Mountain, he shook his head slightly.

’Just perfect!’

’I want to see how they get through this!’

...

The loose cultivator in the crowd perceived Tuoba Ye’s bullying, yet didn’t intervene. Instead, he immediately turned and fled out of Wuyun Mountain, soon arriving at a farmstead.

Though it’s called a farmstead, its interior was incredibly luxurious and extravagant.

The most striking thing was.

The guards outside the yard were all Earth Immortals.

The loose cultivator entered the yard, heading straight for the main hall, where he saw four people sitting grandly on golden chairs, surrounded by rows of orderly men, highlighting their undeniable status.

Bang!

Upon seeing Ma Jiu enter, a figure in a black cloak, resembling a white skeleton, spoke hoarsely:

”Ma Jiu, didn’t I send you to scout Wuyun Mountain? What happened?”

If Ye Qingchen were here.

He would’ve immediately recognized the speaker as none other than the Withered Bone Ancestor of the xtreme North. Seated beside him were Chu Zhongyun, Yue Tianyi, and Wu Yurong.

Seeing the four, Ma Jiu instantly acted as if he’d found a lifesaver, promptly kowtowing:

”Boss Hao has been detained in Wuyun Mountain, and they’re demanding you go apologize...”

The atmosphere in the hall grew tense immediately.

Everyone looked towards the Withered Bone Ancestor.

Withered Bone Ancestor, an old Earth Immortal of the xtreme North, had been rampant in the region for countless years as an evil cultivator. His nature was notoriously violent, and those who offended him left behind enough corpses to pave half the xtreme North.

After sleeping for thousands of years, he recently rejoined the world, having heard of a Celestial Immortal Tomb in the Southern Heaven, and planned to explore it alongside Chu Zhongyun, Wu Yurong, and Yue Tianyi.

Yet, instead of finding the tomb, his men were captured by others.

”Who captured them?” Chu Zhongyun asked calmly.

”It’s the Taotian Palace, by a Three-star Elder named Li Yixing!” Ma Jiu reported cautiously, while sneaking glances at their expressions. Taotian Palace was also a significant sect in the Southern Heaven.

This Three-star Elder held a respectable status, his strength comparable to seasoned Earth Immortals of the xtreme North, not to mention backing from his sect.

They weren’t opponents to be easily challenged!

”So that’s who it is, I never expected it was that old thing Li Yixing!” Withered Bone Ancestor laughed angrily, ”Just a decrepit fool flaunting his sect’s power! How dare he detain my men?”

”Ancestor, you know him?” Ma Jiu was startled.

Beside him, Wu Yurong, stroking the white lion at his feet, said, ”Li Yixing visited the xtreme North centuries ago, attempting to ask for our help in exploring the Celestial Extinction Mountain. I slapped him away.”

”Heh, and now his courage has grown fat again?”

Upon hearing this, everyone present was slightly moved.

Ma Jiu was left dumbfounded.

It’s known.

Despite some inadequacies, no one dared overlook the Three-star Elder, Li Yixing. Yet such a person once went to the xtreme North, and was actually slapped away by Wu Yurong?

”I humbly request your rescue, Ancestor!”

Snapping back to his senses, Ma Jiu urgently pleaded.

”Fine, I want to see what Li Yixing is capable of, daring to detain my men!” Withered Bone Ancestor sneered, standing up tall.

The other three also wore cold smiles.

Despite internal strife in the xtreme North.

At this moment, they chose to stand united against the outside threat.

...

Back at the First-Grade Pavilion.

Li Yixing leisurely sipped his wine.

Boss Hao and his men were tied up on the ground. Bystanders, upon witnessing this, quickly fell silent and detoured away.

”Seems like those backing them are too afraid to show up!”

Tuoba Ye arrogantly stepped on one man’s head, ”I thought these people had the guts to oppose our Taotian Palace... turns out they’re just a bunch of cowards!”

”Whoever they are, just hearing our Taotian Palace’s name scares them off!” Lin Tianlai laughed, ”Why don’t we just kill these people?”

Listening to their talk, Li Yixing’s sense of pride grew.

He cast a dismissive glance at Ye Qingchen, saying:

”Do you see? That’s the reputation of our Taotian Palace! Ghosts and gods shy away! You’re just a junior; how could you understand Taotian Palace’s methods?”

Li Yixing, having finally seized this chance to lecture Ye Qingchen, wouldn’t let it slip, adopting an imposing, condescending stance.

However, at that moment.

A cold voice suddenly called out.

”Li Yixing, you old thing, you’re unbelievably bold to detain my men?”

In an instant.

All surroundings fell silent.

Li Yixing frowned, turning to see a large group approaching from outside the pavilion, each with an imposing presence, clearly of considerable repute, with one cloaked figure at the center shrouded in shadow!
