Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428: Don’t Live Too Long

”Really no more?” Xiao Yi frowned and looked at Gu Lianxing, asking.

Gu Lianxing shook her head.

Gongsun Huowu curled her lips and said, ”Little thief, what nonsense are you talking about.”

”Besides Fengg Ji, the seven of them used to be fervently pursuing Lianxing, even proposing marriage to the Heavenly Star Mansion. How could there be any hatred.”

”If there’s hatred, it’s because Heavenly Star Mansion rejected their marriage proposals; Lianxing refused their pursuits, right.”

Xiao Yi shook his head, ”Such small matters don’t warrant such great resentment.”

”Could it be that I was mistaken?” Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

Such small matters are not enough for hatred, much less for holding such murderous intent towards Gu Lianxing.

”Could it be...” Gu Lianxing seemed to recall something, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat incredulous, even... cold and angry.

”Perhaps, Young Master Xiao Yi didn’t mistake anything.” Gu Lianxing suddenly let out a bitter smile, although this bitter smile carried a sense of self-mockery.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi looked at Gu Lianxing in confusion.

Gu Lianxing smiled, ”They don’t want me dead, just don’t want me to live too long.”

”Don’t want you dead, and yet don’t want you to live too long?” Gongsun Huowu frowned, ”Lianxing, what are you talking about?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi also furrowed his brows.

For a long moment, Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, ”I see, no wonder they said I was meddling.”

”Young Master Xiao Yi is an intelligent person.” Gu Lianxing smiled, though the smile was a bit bitter.

”It’s just a guess.” Xiao Yi smiled faintly, ”Of course, if Miss Lianxing is willing to explain in detail, I may be able to prove whether my guess is correct.”

Gu Lianxing smiled without saying a word.

Xiao Yi smiled, also not pressing further.

Only Gongsun Huowu pouted, looking at the two in discontent, ”What exactly are you talking about?”

Gu Lianxing sighed without speaking.

Xiao Yi said faintly, ”Let’s go, I’ll escort you two back to the Heavenly Star Mansion.”

Once these two are safely delivered back to the Heavenly Star Mansion, his trip to the Eighteen Mansions should come to an end.

Since he had initially promised to rescue Gu Lianxing, taking her away from the Heavenly Star Dangerous Land.

Now that he had helped Gu Lianxing repair her bloodline and Martial Soul.

Delivering Gu Lianxing safely back to the Heavenly Star Mansion would complete his ’promise.’

Additionally, in fact, there was only a month and a half left until the invitation time of the Sword Token.

Originally, Elder Yun Yuan had asked him to depart two months early when he was at the Golden Light Dangerous Land.

If calculated by time, it means he should have started heading to the Sword Domain half a month ago.

After all, the Sword Domain is extraordinarily distant from the Eighteen Mansions Territory.

However, then is then.

Back then, Xiao Yi was only at the Sixth Layer of Saint King Realm, and only controlled eighty thousand starlights.

Now, Xiao Yi’s cultivation has reached the Eighth Layer of Saint King Realm, controlling ninety-three thousand starlights.

At this moment, even without relying on the Beast Hand and Beast Claw within the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, without relying on other various external factors, he possesses the strength to slay those at the Peak of Saint Emperor Realm.

Ninety-three thousand starlights controlled, this is his understanding and level in Star Illusion Swordsmanship, and it belongs to his own strength.

With his current strength, although still far from matching Elder Yun Yuan, he would have the power to contend even if sparring.

At full burst speed, it shouldn’t take more than a month to reach the Sword Domain.

...

Five days later.

Xiao Yi, accompanied by Gu Lianxing, returned to the Heavenly Star Territory.

This flight, Xiao Yi was straight-lined, not stopping at any dangerous land, naturally not needing to take too much time.

The Heavenly Star Mansion is situated in the central city of the Heavenly Star Territory.

A few hours later.

Xiao Yi and the two arrived directly outside the gate of the Heavenly Star Mansion.

”Alright, delivered here, I shall take my leave.” Xiao Yi said faintly, turning to leave.

”Young Master Xiao Yi, wait.” Gu Lianxing hurriedly called out.

”What is it, Miss Lianxing has something more?” Xiao Yi stopped, puzzled.

Gu Lianxing covered her mouth with a smile and said, ”Not really, just wanted to invite Young Master Xiao Yi to be a guest at Heavenly Star Mansion.”

”No need...” Xiao Yi shook his head.

Gu Lianxing said seriously, ”Young Master Xiao Yi saved my life.”

”Now, arriving at the gate of Heavenly Star Mansion, yet not entering. If outsiders knew, they’d assume Heavenly Star Mansion doesn’t know how to treat guests, or even call us ingrates.”

”This...” Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

”Hey, let’s go then.” Gongsun Huowu quickly pulled Xiao Yi, ”The little thief I know isn’t so hesitant.”

”Alright.” Xiao Yi nodded, his arm shaking slightly, gently shaking off Gongsun Huowu’s hold.

Gongsun Huowu pouted, indifferent, then linked arms with Gu Lianxing and the two walked straight to Heavenly Star Mansion.

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi suddenly furrowed his brows, his gaze looking towards the distance.

In the distance, was a blank space.

But there, a shadowy glance clearly flickered for a moment, and a figure suddenly vanished.

Xiao Yi’s eyes chilled slightly, then he withdrew his gaze and followed Gu Lianxing and the other into Heavenly Star Mansion.

”Huowu.” Gu Lianxing looked at Gongsun Huowu and said, ”Take Young Master Xiao Yi to the hall, I’ll find my father and the others.”

”Okay.” Gongsun Huowu nodded, ”Where haven’t I strolled in this Heavenly Star Mansion? I’ll take the little thief to the hall to wait for you guys.”

Gongsun Huowu, though still calling him ’little thief’ repeatedly, each time she did, she was always beaming.

Xiao Yi surveyed the surroundings inside Heavenly Star Mansion.

This was his first entrance into one of the Eighteen Mansions.

Undeniably, the interior of Heavenly Star Mansion was truly impressive.

It’s expected, such an overlord force as the Eighteen Mansions, with countless ages of inheritance, couldn’t have an ordinary mansion.

In a short while, Gongsun Huowu brought Xiao Yi to the hall.

Just as the two were about to enter.

Suddenly...

Swish... Swish... Swish...

Silhouettes rapidly approached, breaking through the sky.

The leading person suddenly shouted, ”Well you Xiao Yi, little thief, you dare come directly to Heavenly Star Mansion?”

”Elders, follow me to execute him on the spot.”

The leading person was a middle-aged man.

But his momentum pressed on the other nearby elders.

”Hmm? The Great Elder of Heavenly Star Mansion?” Gongsun Huowu’s face turned bright with surprise, ”Great Elder, wait...”

Before Gongsun Huowu finished speaking, the middle-aged man ahead already charged with a palm strike.

This palm was evidently executed with full force, its might intimidating.

”Peak of Emperor Realm.” Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

This person’s strength should be comparable to the Great Elder of Heavenly Nether Mansion.

Such a cultivation, Xiao Yi was unafraid.

He was about to summon the Cold Flame Sword.

From afar, a figure rushed over at an even faster speed.

”Halt.”

Snap... Snap...

Two pairs of bare hands collided in mid-air.

The abruptly arriving figure was unscathed, standing steadily in place.

The middled-aged man who first made a move was repelled by a palm strike.

”Master.” The surrounding elders, upon seeing the newcomer, immediately saluted.

”Master.” The middle-aged man steadied himself, also saluting.

Evidently, the suddenly arriving figure was the Mansion Master of Heavenly Star Mansion, one of the contemporary eminent powerhouses in the Central Region.

”You must be Xiao Yi.” The Mansion Master of Heavenly Star Mansion suddenly looked at Xiao Yi.

In his eyes, starlight burst forth, surging, and remarkably deep.
