Chapter 1354: Chapter 1146: Developnt
“Who is it!? Who dares to attack in the dark!?”
Hei He roared in anger, his entire body enveloped in dense ghostly energy as nurous Fierce Ghosts and Yin Spirits roiled and growled within. The mont they found their target, they would rush out to tear it apart.
Boom—
But what was utterly unexpected was that the person did not reveal themselves; instead, they slashed out a Sword Qi constructed of starlight at Hei He, completely cleaving through the ball of ghostly energy and sending him flying.
Pft!
Hei He spat out a mouthful of blood, not only because he was injured but also from rage consuming his heart.
Just a mont ago, he had made a bold statent, and the next he was directly blown away, losing face in front of nurous Ghost Clan mbers. How could soone as prideful as Hei He tolerate this?
“You have ten breaths to get out of my sight, or stay here forever!”
The Earth Immortal Realm Star God wielded a divine weapon engraved with countless stars, upon which the turtle and serpent Xuanwu were coiled, and shouted with eyes full of Evil Qi.
“You’re the Gouchen Star Lord?!”
Hei He’s expression changed drastically, his voice even wavered, “The Li family has aligned with the Big Dipper lineage!? Even so, it’s impossible for them to dispatch this Star Lord!”
One must know, Gouchen is a revered master star, and the own son of the great Doumu Lord himself. His status within the Big Dipper lineage is no less than that of Ziwei.
Why was the Big Dipper lineage once regarded as the leader by the myriad stars’ divine beings? It was because, apart from Doumu Lord, there were also two powerful Star Gods: Ziwei and Gouchen.
“Ancestor, let’s go quickly!”
A certain mber of the Ghost Clan hurriedly reminded him, if they delayed any longer, they might really perish here.
“Go! Hurry!”
Only then did Hei He awaken as if from a dream, hastily escaping in panic, fearing that if he lingered for even a mont, he would die under that Gouchen Sword.
Gouchen looked on indifferently at the fleeing Ghost Clan, with no intention to kill.
Firstly, because his task was to protect the Li family, and now the task was completed perfectly; secondly, he didn’t want to sow deep enmity with the Ghost Clan.
After all, no matter what, the Ghost Clan’s forces are not weak; they may not compare to the Divine Path and Immortal Tao’s strong factions, but they have more than a dozen Heavenly Immortals. There was no need to antagonize them for the sake of an Individual Immortal family.
Not to ntion the Ghost Clan, even the mbers of the Li family on Mount Wanxian were taken by surprise.
Who would have thought Ziwei would actually have Gouchen co to protect the Li family? This is his own younger brother, a highly esteed Great Star Lord!
Only Li Zhirui showed a bitter smile; Ziwei clearly saw through his intention to use borrowed authority to intimidate others, and gave a push so that the Li family would owe the Big Dipper lineage a favor.
‘Truly one of the Six Great Emperor Venerables of the Heavenly Court.’
Even though there weren’t many affairs in the Heavenly Court at present, a great number of Divine beings resided there, whether for resources or other reasons, plots and sches likely never ceased.
How could one who remains in such a place have poor aptitude or strategy?
However, Li Zhirui thought further that perhaps this was for the best.
The very master of the Big Dipper, Gouchen himself, has co to protect the Li family, which in the eyes of all other beings and forces, marks the Li family henceforth as a subordinate of the Big Dipper lineage, and a rather favored one at that.
These thoughts swirled quickly through his mind in just an instant.
“Thank you, Star Lord, for your tily rescue; otherwise, my Li family might have faced destruction today.” Li Zhirui bowed deeply, sincerely expressing his gratitude.
“Thank you, Star Lord!”
Li Xinde, along with the rest of the clan mbers, bowed in gratitude.
To pay respect to an Earth Immortal is by no ans a disgrace, as not only does he possess high cultivation, but he is also the savior of the Li family; performing a bow is, indeed, the most normal thing to do.
“Just a transaction.”
Yet Gouchen remained indifferent. After uttering those four words, he cast a glance over the group, then once again faded into concealnt.
Nobody knew whether he remained hidden or had already left.
Nonetheless, this ti, the calamity of the Ghost Clan’s attack passed for the Li family with no danger, and the clan mbers were quite pleased.
“Ancestor Rui, henceforth, the Ghost Clan probably wouldn’t dare to co knocking again, and even other forces will not target our family directly.” Li Xinde remarked emotionally.
He also realized the extent of the impact Gouchen’s intervention would have.
As for owing a favor? He was not excessively worried, because Li Xinde believed that with the family’s developnt, one day, they would grow to be a powerful family not inferior to the Big Dipper lineage!
Moreover, a favor can sotis be a good thing, representing a relationship between both parties.
“Indeed!”
Li Zhirui responded softly, looking towards where the Big Dipper resided.
As they anticipated, Gouchen’s intervention in deciding to protect the Li family stirred a wave of discussions among the various forces.
“Is the Li family really so favored by the Big Dipper lineage? Is it because of the Sun and Taiyin Star Lords?”
“I heard that not long ago, when those two Star Lords went to the Netherworld to remold the sun and moon, the star fragnts themselves revealed; from this, it can be seen they not only gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao but were also favored by it, and perhaps that is why the Big Dipper lineage decided to protect the Li family.”
The Li family, a modest household known only in a corner of northeastern East Continent, due to Gouchen, a dominator of the Big Dipper lineage, had its na spread into the ears of major forces.
Upon investigation, they were astonished to find that this obscure, weak family had actually produced two extrely significant Star Lords: the Sun and Taiyin!
Thus they naturally conjectured that the Big Dipper lineage wanted to win over and establish good relations with those two Star Lords, which hardly had much to do with the Li family itself.
