Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1930: Chapter 818: Master Must Not (Requesting Monthly Ticket) (Part 2)

The young man who suddenly jumped out in front of them brought information they were completely unaware of.

Five years ago, You Yu severely injured an invading Emperor with one sword?

And then took three years to recuperate?

It was only when Emperor Fenghua intervened to save him that You Yu survived?

This matter, no matter how you look at it, seems true and reasonable!

First, it generally aligns with logic.

Second, in their view, the earnest attempt of this young man at the Ninth Tier to stop You Yu doesn’t seem like acting.

Besides, if this were an act, it would seem unnecessary.

But if this is true, then they are in trouble.

If they really force You Yu into a corner and start a fight, You Yu would surely die, but according to what this sudden young man said, one of them would definitely accompany him in death!

Better his fellow Daoist dies than me!

Nobody wants to be the one to die alongside!

But a one-third probability was too high.

The three of them immediately hesitated.

At that moment, Xu Jin spoke again, ”Master is resting, and as the disciple, it is my duty to handle affairs. Master, you mustn’t draw your sword!

Last time Brother Fenghua said that if you explode like that again, not even he could save you!”

Xu Jin respectfully addressed ’Brother Fenghua’, apologizing to his master in his mind at the same time.

True Monarch Lin Yue and the other two took a stern look again, their eyes showing complex emotions, no longer as aggressive as before.

For a moment, none of them wanted to be the first to act.

Simultaneously, Xu Jin cupped his hands toward the three, saying, ”Honored seniors, I think I’ve understood. You seniors seem to have some old grudges with my master, but the cost for my master to act is too great.

So, I think it’s my duty as a disciple to handle this affair!

How about letting me, the junior, resolve this matter?

State your grudges, and as his disciple, I shall take them on, how does that sound?”

The three True Monarchs, Lin Yue, Jishu, and Jingtu, exchanged looks, and True Monarch Lin Yue sneered, ”Insolent youth, what ability do you have to take on these grudges!”

”Don’t tell me, seniors, that you do not have disciples?

As disciples, we must act on behalf of our masters!

The cost for my master to fight is too steep, and I am still hoping to be taught by him!” Xu Jin said respectfully, cupping his hands.

The three True Monarchs exchanged a glance and instantly had an idea.

In fact, upon hearing Xu Jin mention You Yu’s achievement of severely injuring an Emperor with one sword, they had already given up on forcing You Yu to act so they could take advantage of it to destroy him.

It wasn’t retreating, but abandoning the idea!

Because at their level, impulsiveness seldom occurs.

Many things are planned before action.

There’s no need to risk their lives just to test the waters.

There’s no rush to deal with You Yu, as he was returning to the Shisong Star Realm to become the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch.

At that time, they could find someone to test his power before taking action.

They had given up for now, but leaving in disgrace today would hurt their pride.

For them, life comes first, then reputation.

At this time, hearing Xu Jin’s proposal that a disciple should act on behalf of his master, and sensing Xu Jin’s cultivation level, they all got an idea, and looked at You Yu, ”You Yu, is what your disciple said true?”

”I am as close as father and son to my last apprentice, Xu Jin. His decisions are my decisions!”

Immediately, You Yu supported Xu Jin without hesitation.

You Yu’s other disciple, Bi Zhu, initially felt nothing, but after listening carefully, he felt a bit jealous.

As close as father and son?

Then what is he?

”Xu Jin, is it? Since you say a disciple should handle affairs, we will grant your filial piety! I will send a disciple to duel you. If you win, we won’t trouble You Yu before he officially takes office!”

Upon hearing this, You Yu’s gaze turned sharp, wondering what they meant by not troubling him anymore, but Xu Jin’s gaze suppressed him.

”You’re indeed wise, seniors! The cultivation level of your disciple...”

”I have no Ninth Tier disciple; those beside me are all Tenth Rank!” True Monarch Lin Yue said.

”This...” Xu Jin responded with a surprised expression, caught off guard.

”Seems like you are just as cowardly as your master!” True Monarch Jishu laughed.

”Absolutely not!” Xu Jin’s expression turned fierce in an instant, looking provoked, with the temperament of a young man full of fire, completely normal,

”Seniors, send anyone you like, I accept the challenge!”

At this moment, as You Yu tried to stop Xu Jin again, Xu Jin firmly refused. This scene made the three True Monarchs even more tempted.

”Yingchen, since that’s the case, fight You Yu’s disciple for me!

Remember, only victory is allowed, no defeat!” True Monarch Lin Yue ordered.

”Yes, Master!” replied a Tenth Rank Star Lord, stepping forward instantly.

Seeing this, You Yu again cooperated, cursing, ”Lin Yue, do you have no shame!”

”Your disciple asked for it, unless you’d like to step in!” True Monarch Lin Yue sneered.

”Rest assured, Master, even if I lose, I will do it honorably!” Xu Jin’s persuasion allowed You Yu to step back.

”Brother Xu, please!”

As Zhou Yingchen was about to begin the battle with Xu Jin, True Monarch Jishu suddenly spoke, ”Since it’s a duel between disciples, why don’t we place a bet? You Yu, do you dare?”

”I don’t dare!” You Yu refused immediately, seeming unconfident.

True Monarch Jishu was taken aback, while True Monarch Jingtu chuckled, ”It’s been over a hundred years, and old Yu, you’ve become cowardly and stingy! It seems you are no longer a worthy opponent!”

”Screw you!” You Yu cursed.

”Master, please have some faith in your disciple.” Xu Jin advised.

”See, you aren’t even as bold as your disciple!” True Monarch Jingtu laughed.

Feeling cornered, You Yu reluctantly said, ”Then tell me, what’s the wager you’d like to place?”

Meanwhile, Xu Jin was secretly delighted, realizing that old Yu was truly a cooperative ally, always able to catch whatever was thrown at them!

He initially intended just to earn face for old You, but seeing the current situation, they could indeed gain a bit more!

”What do you have?” True Monarch Lin Yue spoke, ”You Yu, you’ve always been a pauper. I’m afraid if we put something up, you won’t be able to match it!”

”Nonsense, I’m no pauper anymore!”

With a flip of his hand, three Star Ruins Primordial Sand appeared in You Yu’s palm!

Xu Jin, upon seeing this, was shocked and quickly stepped forward, ”Master, you can’t wager this!”

As Xu Jin held down old You’s hand, Starlight flickered, revealing three Innate Spiritual Materials in You Yu’s hands.

”Things have come to this, how can I save face for myself as your master!”

You Yu pushed Xu Jin away and said helplessly, ”Three Innate Spiritual Materials, three Star Ruins Primordial Sand, that’s all I have. I can’t take more, and I can’t afford more. Make your call!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue, Jishu, and Jingtu exchanged glances, a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes.

”Let’s wager on these!”

As they spoke, the three simultaneously revealed their stakes.

Each contributed one Innate Spiritual Material and one piece of Star Ruins Primordial Sand.

Although the Innate Spiritual Materials didn’t matter much to them, the Star Ruins Primordial Sand was significant.

Even for them, they had few of these in hand.

This possession was counted by the number for many True Monarchs.

If any True Monarch had more than ten in possession, they were considered extremely wealthy.

Amongst them, they were well-off, having only six or seven each.

Seeing You Yu reveal three at once, they immediately thought they must seize them.

Not to become suddenly wealthy, but to weaken You Yu.

Regarding their chances of winning, they believed it was quite high.

Even though You Yu trained this disciple of the Peak of Ninth Rank, who surely had the ability to battle above his tier, perhaps even kill a Great Star Monarch or challenge a regular Star Monarch...

Otherwise, You Yu’s apprentice couldn’t be so confident and calm.

But the problem is, their disciples are geniuses too, able to face higher-tier challenges.

Their disciple, Zhou Yingchen, had defeated and severely wounded a Star Monarch three years ago.

”Old You, let’s start the fight then. Except outsiders can’t interfere, there are no other rules, okay?” True Monarch Lin Yue proposed.

”Fine!”

You Yu readily agreed.
