Chapter 500: Chapter 417 Reinforcement Chapter 500: Chapter 417 Reinforcement “Yu Heng is dead?”
Su Yuan heard this, and his pupils involuntarily shrank, slightly stunned.
The Star Lord, this was the top combat power of the Sky Patrol Department Special Envoys!
And of the seven Star Lords, three were under the Azure Dragon, two under the White Tiger, with the Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu each having one.
This Yu Heng Star Lord, Duanmu Lu, was the only Star Lord under the Vermilion Bird Imperial!
Duanmu Lu, only twenty-seven years old, had held the position of Yu Heng Star Lord for more than three years, and was expected to break through Radiant Moon within two years as a super genius.
It was said that even during the reappointment last year, the Vermilion Bird Throne had personally guided his cultivation and had high hopes for him.
Now, he had suddenly died like this!
This was the first time in recent decades that an incumbent Star Lord had died!
Yan Changming continued: “It is said that the Taurus and Leo of the Twelve Palaces jointly ambushed the Duanmu Star Lord.
Although the Duanmu Star Lord severely injured Leo and wounded Taurus, both fists couldn’t block four hands, and he ultimately fell under the siege.
Initially, the Kaiyang Star Lord Li Ba from the Azure Dragon Imperial went to support but was delayed by Capricorn.”
“A total of three Star Envoys were mobilized…” Su Yuan’s expression slightly condensed.
“I heard that Fang Yu was very angry upon hearing the news, and the department has gradually deployed two other Star Lords into the New Dust Realm.
One was to fight against the Twelve Palace Star Envoys, and the other was to prepare for the upcoming Tiger Vein competition.
Since you are staying in the New Dust Realm, be very careful and don’t stray too far from the three entrance camps.”
“Okay, thanks for the reminder.” Su Yuan nodded, then looked at Baili Ge. “But there’s no need to stay here with me.”
He had a Transmission Decree, and with his abilities, survival was generally not a problem.
“Being disliked, huh~ fine.” Baili Ge pouted, recalling Su Yuan’s performance last time, indeed not needing his worry.
The three of them chatted a few more sentences before Yan Changming and Baili Ge prepared to leave.
But before he left, Yan Changming seemed to remember something.
“By the way… it won’t be long before the selection of the Star Lord.
Because of the death of the Duanmu Star Lord, the Tiger Vein competition in the New Dust Realm, and the imminent Earth Tribulation, this Star Lord selection is likely to be different from before.
Since you have such strength, you should strive for it. It’s not just for yourself, but also for the Great Flame!”
Su Yuan looked at Yan Changming, pondered for a moment, then said, “I will.”
The stronger a person was, the more resources and opportunities they needed.
And the Sky Patrol Department needed stronger people to act as the backbone.
Thus, the strong within the department and the Sky Patrol Department should complement each other.
Allowing outstanding individuals to ascend to the Star Lord position was a win-win for both the individuals and the Great Flame.
Yan Changming nodded, then left first with Baili Ge.
“Yu Heng has fallen, and the Star Lord selection…” Su Yuan sat on Mo Fei’s back, lost in thought.
Among this task, he had also retrieved a Wolf Vein.
Now that Yan Changming had returned and settled the task, he figured he would receive a significant amount of Battle Merit, enough for a promotion to First Level Special Envoy.
As long as the promotion task arrived, he could directly be promoted to First Level Special Envoy, qualifying him to compete for the Star Lord position.
With Yu Heng fallen, many people probably had their eyes on this position.
But no matter what, this Star Lord position was something he had to obtain; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to browse the Grandmaster Level Array Dao Secret Scroll…
At the Qiguang Camp.
Several people walked out from the entrance.
Leading the group were two individuals in golden star white robes.
One was a petite girl with white hair and red eyes, and the other was a tall and burly young man.
They were Aries Aixilia and the newly appointed Virgo Star Envoy, Beck.
“This is the new small world? The air is much fresher than Qiguang~” Beck chuckled lightly, looking around with a faint excitement in his eyes.
Since replacing the Virgo position, Beck had accomplished a lot but knew he hadn’t been fully accepted by other initial Star Envoys.
And in this New Dust Realm, it was the best chance to prove himself.
Because here, there were not only Star Veins but also the Great Flame Star Lords.
Whether it was seizing Star Veins or slaying Star Lords, both could earn the respect of other Star Envoys!
Following Beck were five men and women Subordinates, equally excited. It was their chance to shine.
On the other side, Aries Aixilia seemed calm and had no Subordinates following her.
The only Star Envoy among the Twelve Palaces with no Subordinates.
As the two of them emerged from the transmission entrance, Fafran and Blake led the Holy Temple’s people to greet them.
Blake asked, “Arrived?”
Beck smiled, “Hello, I’m here on the Holy Temple’s orders to assist in the New Dust Realm.”
Blake slightly nodded, seeming uninterested in conversing with him and directly looked at Aixilia.
After a brief pause, Blake was about to speak, but Aixilia was already walking forward.
“Come along, let’s talk inside.”
Aixilia said and walked past Blake, heading to a camp behind.
“Damn it…”
Blake frowned. He didn’t like this feeling.
Whenever he was with Aixilia, it felt like she could see through all his thoughts.
Once, Blake and Aixilia had joined the Holy Temple from the same place.
After both became Star Envoys, Blake wanted to compete with Aixilia.
At that time, the Star Envoys of the Twelve Palaces had just been picked through the Holy Blessing and weren’t familiar with each other.
Blake expected Aixilia to be unwilling and had prepared various excuses and tricks, but to his surprise, she agreed readily.
In their subsequent encounters, Blake’s actions were always anticipated by Aixilia, making him uncomfortable.
When Blake thought he might lose, surprisingly, Aixilia asked for a truce.
The reason was she didn’t know any attack skills!
Hence, the fight ended inconclusively.
According to Aixilia, this was the price of the “Oracle” power; harming others would affect the Oracle’s power.
Before becoming a Star Envoy, Aixilia was a highly dedicated Priest with no attack skills embedded.
Thus, every time Aixilia went on a mission, the Holy Temple arranged a strong attacking Star Envoy to accompany her.
One to kill enemies, and the other to ensure Aixilia’s safety.
Even though she couldn’t attack, Aixilia’s “Oracle” power secured her position as Aries and earned the recognition of other Star Envoys.
Others didn’t care, but Blake, who had dueled with Aries, avoided excessive contact with her.
But at this moment, Blake still followed Aixilia inside without hesitation.
Beck looked somewhat embarrassed and said to Fafran, “Taurus, what about us…”
“I’m going to rest, do as you please,” Fafran said indifferently and left with the Subordinate, Noke.
Being slighted if not ignored by other Star Envoys in the presence of peers and Subordinates left Beck deeply sulky.
Behind him, his five Subordinates wore various expressions.
But in an instant, Beck laughed and said to his Subordinates, “Let’s rest and familiarize ourselves with the environment.”
“Okay!”
…
On the other side, in the camp, Aixilia and Blake sat down.
“You know what I’m going to ask, right?” Blake began.
Aixilia shook her head, “No.”
“Aren’t you able to predict?”
Aixilia blinked, “Too lazy to predict.”
“…”
Blake gritted his teeth, pondered a while, then said, “All five of my Subordinates are dead; it should be done by the same people. I need your help to find the culprits!”
“Okay.” Aixilia nodded directly.
Blake was surprised, “You don’t need anything?”
Aixilia said calmly, “Though it’s your revenge, it’s also killing the Great Flame Sky Patrol’s people, which is within my duty.”
Aixilia formed sealing signs with her hands, the golden Destiny Star Track in her eyes spinning rapidly. In her vision, many destiny red lines pierced through the void, connecting to Blake.
As Aixilia screened, soon only five dim and illusory red lines remained.
These five red lines, three gathered at one place, the remaining two gathered at another.
Looking at these two places, Aixilia’s eyes flickered with light as if calculating or contemplating something.
“There are two people who killed your Subordinates.” Aixilia said.
“Two people?” Blake frowned, “Two people killed all my five Subordinates?”
Aixilia affirmed, “Yes.”
“Heh, quite capable…” Blake’s eyes narrowed, then asked, “So, how do I find them?”
Aixilia stretched her hand, grasped three red lines, and pulled them. The white light flickered, transforming them into a glowing red lead.
“One uses fire. Follow this Destiny Guide. When it disperses, you’ll meet the target.”
Blake took the Destiny Guide, which pointed southward.
“Dare to kill my men; I’ll let you taste death by a thousand cuts.” Blake smirked cruelly, ready to leave the camp.
Aixilia stopped him, “This is the reward from the Holy Temple.”
She took out a ring and placed it on the table.
“Oh?” Blake took it and, after a glance, showed surprise.
“Seems like the reward fitted your desires?”
“Naturally!” Blake took out a golden Star Core, “Aixilia, do you think I can extract the Skill?”
The Destiny Star Track in Aixilia’s eyes spun again, and after a moment, she said, “In ten days, at eight in the morning, you might succeed.”
“Oh?” Blake smirked, “Thanks a lot!”
With that, Blake walked out of the camp, soared up, and flew away.
In the camp, the Destiny Star Track in Aixilia’s eyes spun brightly, she was contemplating…
