Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1929: Chapter 818: Master, You Must Not

The front courtyard of the mountain villa.

You Yu watched True Monarch Lin Yue arrive unexpectedly, his usual cheerful demeanor replaced by long, drooping brows and a face as dark as water.

True Monarch Lin Yue landed with his entourage in the mountain villa, beaming with smiles. ”You Yu, you’re back and didn’t say a word. Why be so secretive?

Give us a shout, and we’d definitely throw you a welcome feast, celebrating your promotion to Heavenly Patrol True Monarch!”

You Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways, ”Lin Yue, your news is as sharp as ever.”

At this, True Monarch Lin Yue laughed, ”It’s not just me, the old friends from Shisong Star Realm already know the famous ’hesitant’ True Monarch is returning to Shisong Star Realm, eager to congratulate you.”

The emphasis on ’hesitant’ was strange not only to You Yu but also to his disciple, Bi Zhu, whose expression changed until You Yu stopped him.

You Yu darkened his face and said directly, ”Lin Yue, this is my retreat, you’re not welcome here. Leave before I lose my temper!”

At this proclamation, True Monarch Lin Yue smiled instead of being angered, ”It’s been a century, and you’ve improved, no longer as reckless as when you were a Heavenly Patrol Envoy.

But, what can your anger achieve?

I’m here; what can you do about it?”

You Yu’s gaze grew intense, and the Lifebound Killing Artifact sword on his back buzzed nonstop, but ultimately, he restrained it.

”Lin Yue, what will you do?”

”Hahaha!”

At this, True Monarch Lin Yue burst into laughter, ”You Yu, you’ve lost your nerve!

You’ve lost your nerve!

A hundred years ago, you wouldn’t have asked this; you would have drawn your sword!”

Buzz!

The Lifebound Killing Artifact sword behind You Yu hummed fiercely once more, with killing intent rising from him.

”Lin Yue, don’t be led astray!” You Yu’s eyes blazed with killing intent, ”A hundred twenty years ago, I could severely wound you with one sword. I still can now!”

”Laughable!”

True Monarch Lin Yue laughed again, ”A hundred years ago, you were Five Tribulations, and now still Five Tribulations, but I am already Eight Tribulations True Monarch!”

”Eight Tribulations, so what! I can still cut down!” You Yu sneered.

”You Yu, even after a hundred years of grinding, your stubborn temper hasn’t changed one bit!”

”It’s merely drawing my sword against injustice!”

”Injustice in this world is endless. Can you manage them all? Hearing you say that, it seems they were right to send me to warn you in advance!”

”A warning?”

”Indeed! The dukes say that upon your promotion to Heavenly Patrol True Monarch, you’d better be sensible!

A hundred twenty years ago, your Emperor nephew could protect you!

But a hundred twenty years later, it may not be so!” True Monarch Lin Yue said.

Recalling events from a hundred twenty years ago, You Yu’s long brows flew, and an unhealthy red surged on his face,

Clang!

With a sword clang, the Lifebound Killing Artifact swiftly unsheathed, aiming at True Monarch Lin Yue, ”A century ago, I regret not slaying you, the butcher. Today’s encounter will remedy the regret from a century ago!”

True Monarch Lin Yue was utterly fearless, laughing aloud, ”This is just what I had in mind!”

Almost simultaneously with True Monarch Lin Yue’s acceptance, two more True Monarch auras emerged from the void.

Almost as these two True Monarch auras emerged, You Yu’s expression changed.

He’d been maneuvered!

Realizing the trap instantly, You Yu first turned towards Xu Jin, determined not to involve Xu Jin.

Seeing Xu Jin was approaching, You Yu sighed helplessly, resigned to swallow his pride today.

These people, due to the presence of Emperor Fenghua, dared not openly besiege him.

They only dared to humiliate him, provoke him.

But if he acted first, the consequences would change.

Once slain by these people, Emperor Fenghua as his nephew would find it difficult to stand up for him.

In light of this, watching the other two True Monarchs descending, You Yu’s heart was full of helplessness and frustration.

A tiger trapped by dogs descending the mountain!

Three hundred years ago, You Yu could defeat these three True Monarchs single-handedly!

The kind that crushes.

A hundred twenty years ago, any of these three True Monarchs facing him would be heavily wounded in three breaths, dead in ten breaths!

But now...

In the conversation, You Yu gritted his teeth, ready to sheathe his sword and retreat.

However, at that moment, Xu Jin unexpectedly rushed from behind, placing his hand directly on You Yu’s sword hilt, exclaiming, ”Master, you mustn’t!”

This sudden move by Xu Jin surprised True Monarch Lin Yue, and just-arrived True Monarch Jishu and True Monarch Jingtu.

They were unsure of You Yu’s disciple’s intent.

You Yu was also bewildered, uncertain of Xu Jin’s plan.

But he understood Xu Jin well and trusted him, so he remained calm and quietly observed Xu Jin’s performance.

”Master, you mustn’t unsheathe the sword. Do you remember five years ago, when you severely injured the Emperor who attacked Black Tower Island with one strike, yet it took you three years to heal?

If I hadn’t pleaded with Brother Fenghua, I wouldn’t have known how to save you then!” Xu Jin quickly held the sword hilt, visibly preventing You Yu.

Instantly, You Yu grasped Xu Jin’s meaning.

”But they... went too far!”

With a shout of anger, You Yu’s killing sword rang again.

Opposite, the three True Monarchs exchanged glances, each showing suspicion, their gaze towards You Yu revealing hesitation for the first time.
