Chapter 511: 428 Chapter 511: 428 “Yan He, you came back too?”

“Old Zhao, you were even earlier than me!”

…

“Hey, Star Lord Yu Heng has fallen. Doesn’t that mean we’re the only ones left in the Four Imperials without a Star Lord?”

“Brother Wang, in this situation, won’t they reserve a Star Lord seat for us in the Vermilion Bird Imperial?”

“No, you’ve only been with the department for less than two years. The position of Star Lord is entirely based on strength. Otherwise, how can you convince others?”

“Is that so? I guess you’re right.”

…

In the Yan Court, forces were gathering.

People from New Dust Realm, Western Desert, the North, South Sea, and the East… returned continuously over these days.

All the special envoys who could come had returned.

Not for any other reason but for the upcoming selection of the Star Lord.

The selection of the Star Lord was a big event held every two years by the Sky Patrol Department’s many special envoys. It allowed them to witness the top-level standards of the current department at the Shining Star Level!

In the Qingming Realm, Su Yuan finished his daily cultivation, made a cup of tea, and took out a map to study.

At this moment, a black light flashed in the Qingming Realm, and Ruan Ruan came in with Mo Fei from the outside.

“Master, master, it’s so lively outside these days!” Ruan Ruan said excitedly. “There are so many experts. Amo, don’t you agree?”

Ruan Ruan had a lively personality, and Mo Fei was now also very curious about this world.

After Su Yuan arranged the subordinate card for Mo Fei, he gave both of them permission to enter and leave the Qingming Realm freely.

“Yes, many experts indeed!”

Mo Fei responded sullenly, but there was more shock and excitement in his eyes than in Ruan Ruan’s.

As an Ink Qilin, he was already the top existence in the New Dust Realm, extremely arrogant.

However, after being subdued by Su Yuan and coming to the Blue Sea Star, Mo Fei realized what it meant to have a sky beyond a sky.

There were so many experts in this high-stage world!

Although Mo Fei hadn’t seen these people take action, his powerful intuition and battle instincts told him that everyone here was strong. He even occasionally encountered those stronger than himself!

This made Mo Fei even more humble.

What Mo Fei didn’t know was that this was because they were in the Sky Patrol Department, one of the highest concentrations of elites even on the Blue Sea Star…

Su Yuan smiled, putting down the map in his hand: “Yes, the selection of the Star Lord is approaching, so most of the special envoys have returned.

You two have been wandering in the Yan Court these days. You didn’t cause any trouble, did you?”

Ruan Ruan’s expression changed slightly, and her eyes flickered: “No… no!”

“Oh?” Su Yuan had watched Ruan Ruan grow up and could tell she was feeling guilty. “What happened?”

“This, this…” Ruan Ruan stammered, her face slightly red.

“Mo Fei, you say it.”

Mo Fei bowed and said: “Master, in the past few days, one or two humans have approached Big Sis to talk. They even asked for her contact information, but she took me and ran away after a few words.

I don’t know if this will cause you any trouble…”

Ruan Ruan angrily punched Mo Fei’s waist, then secretly looked at Su Yuan.

“Oh? Is that so?” Su Yuan laughed, finding it amusing.

Upon closer inspection, the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor, Ruan Ruan, although petite, had top-notch beauty.

It seemed those special envoys likely mistook her for a member of another department within the Yan Court.

Mo Fei was fine as his aura immediately revealed him to be a Star Beast, but Ruan Ruan, due to the Devouring Law, had no aura fluctuations at all.

“It’s alright.”

Mo Fei nodded and continued: “Additionally, we’ve made acquaintances with other demon beasts.”

“Other demon beasts… are they the beasts of other special envoys in the department?”

“Yes.”

Su Yuan pondered: “Although there are quite a few beast tamers in the department, it’s rare to encounter other beasts. Do you know which beast tamer they belong to?”

Mo Fei thought for a moment: “I don’t know. They didn’t say.”

Su Yuan nodded and didn’t ask further.

“You two go and cultivate by yourselves.”

“Okay!”

Ruan Ruan and Mo Fei responded and went off to train.

Su Yuan did not plan to let them participate in this Star Lord selection.

Of course, Mo Fei was not Su Yuan’s beast, so he couldn’t participate anyway.

After they left, Su Yuan picked up the map again.

The barrier on the map was called the Primordial Spirit Projection Barrier, which was also a fifth-level barrier!

It could gather people from various locations through spiritual power projections in the barrier, allowing them to communicate as if they were face-to-face.

Su Yuan found this barrier in the second floor of the Star Storage Room, and it cost 3400 battle merits!

“Almost deciphered it. But it’s too exhausting to deploy it for the first time, so it’s better to focus on the Star Lord selection in a few days.”

In the following days, aside from maintaining his daily cultivation, Su Yuan guided the skills training of Ruan Ruan and Mo Fei, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

With Su Yuan’s current deep understanding of many Transformation Realm skills, he was absolutely top-notch among the Shining Star Level. Guiding the two of them was more than sufficient.

A few days passed quickly.

“Boom!…”

A loud bell tolled deeply from the depths of the Yan Court, reaching everyone’s ears.

The Star Lord selection had arrived!

Su Yuan awoke from his meditation. His eyes gleamed with sharp light. After putting away the sleeping Slime, Ruan Ruan, he leaped towards the north side of the Yan Court.

On the north side of the Yan Court, outside the Debating Martial Hall.

Figures were rushing in from all directions. The moment they entered the hall, a white light flashed on their bodies, and they disappeared within the hall.

Su Yuan followed and also stepped into the Debating Martial Hall. A force of space enveloped him. In an instant, the scene before him changed rapidly. In a moment, he appeared on an island.

“A small secret realm, huh?”

Su Yuan observed his surroundings. The island was rich in Star Power, lush with vegetation, and bathed in bright sunlight.

In just a short time, hundreds of special envoys had been teleported to various parts of the island, with light spots flashing continuously.

Everyone who entered moved directly towards the center.

Su Yuan also rushed towards the center.

At the center of the island was a large open area like a school martial arts arena.

Additionally, there was a high jade pillar, with three people in black and gold star robes sitting atop it.

The one in the middle, solid in appearance, with a calm demeanor—Star Lord Tianquan, Xu Fan.

On the left, an elegant man with clear eyebrows and a star lord’s robe fluttering without wind—Star Lord Shaking Light, Zhang Qianyi.

On the right, a man with a sallow face, thin build, looking about thirty-five or six years old—Star Lord Tianshu, Chen Chunhua.

“This pressure is quite strong…”

Just by looking at the three on the jade pillars, Su Yuan felt a fairly strong pressure!

It was the first time he felt this way when facing someone of the same level after entering the Shining Star Level.

“How does it feel to see the Star Lords?” Baili Ge’s voice suddenly came from behind.

Su Yuan had already sensed him coming and nodded: “They are not weak.”

Baili Ge stood beside Su Yuan with his arms crossed and laughed: “Star Lord Xu Fan is a rare beast tamer. Each of his Star Beasts alone might be a match for me.

Star Lord Chen is good at thunder magic. It’s said he has two thunder skills that have reached the Transformation Realm, with extremely strong attacks.

As for Star Lord Zhang… he is the youngest among the three but also very powerful. Most importantly… he has a kind of Divine Wind and has cultivated the Biluo Wind Control Technique.”

“Oh?”

Su Yuan’s eyes stirred, recalling the black wind used by the Great Demon Qiongqi in the Ancient Forbidden Zone.

That was also one of the Divine Winds, the Bone-Scraping Black Wind!

“Which Divine Wind specifically?” Su Yuan asked.

Baili Ge shook his head: “I don’t know.”

Su Yuan looked contemplative and sized up Zhang Qianyi.

Just then, Zhang Qianyi on the jade pillars turned his head and smiled, then looked away again.

“Sensitive perception…”

Su Yuan’s expression turned serious, sensing the other party’s trickiness.

Looking around, Su Yuan didn’t see any top practitioners above the Shining Star Level appear.

“Don’t we need an envoy or imperial envoy to host the Star Lord selection?” Su Yuan asked.

Baili Ge replied: “No, normally, more than half of the sitting star lords would suffice.

Currently, there are five sitting star lords. So having these three is enough.

Star Lord Kaiyang, Li Ba, and Star Lord Tianji, Shen Die, are on standby in the New Dust Realm.”

Su Yuan nodded, indicating he understood.

“See that burly man over there? That’s Xun Yang.”

“And the tall, skinny one, number two on the battle merit list, Li Daoxun!”

“Over there, the one with the folding fan, that’s Fu Dongliu.”

“…”

As the experts of the Four Imperials arrived, Baili Ge introduced them to Su Yuan one by one.

When he spoke of Fu Dongliu, Baili Ge had a bit of resentment in his tone.

“Here comes Wu Qi!” Baili Ge indicated, pointing at a young man in the distance with a stern expression, “And the one next to him is Hou Wu, currently third on the battle merit list of our Vermilion Bird Imperial.”

Special Envoy Hou?

Su Yuan looked over, and Hou Wu immediately noticed Su Yuan, smiling and waving.

Baili Ge asked in surprise: “You know him?”

Su Yuan smiled: “Of course, it was Special Envoy Hou who guided me in.”

“I see.”

Su Yuan asked: “By the way, isn’t he participating in the Star Lord competition?”

“He is probably cultivating a special skill. He hasn’t fought for over half a year now, so he dropped to third on the battle merit list.”

“Is that so…” Su Yuan nodded in understanding.

On the other side, Wu Qi asked: “Hou Wu, who is that? You seem enthusiastic.”

Hou Wu smiled: “The newcomer I guided in, of high quality!”

Wu Qi said coldly: “Even if he is of high quality, he is just a newcomer.”

“Not quite, not quite~” Hou Wu looked at Su Yuan in the distance, full of admiration, and laughed, “If things go well, the Star Lord position you want might be taken by him.”

“Really? You rate him that highly?” Wu Qi narrowed his eyes. “The only people I regard in this department are you.”

Hou Wu said: “Li Daoxun and Liu Hao are also very strong~”

Wu Qi replied casually: “They are strong. I am stronger.”

“Hmm… that’s true.” Hou Wu nodded after a brief thought, “But I’m not joking. In this Star Lord selection, Su Yuan might truly take one of the seats.”

“Really?” Wu Qi took another look at Su Yuan. “It doesn’t matter. Even if he does become a Star Lord, it won’t be at my expense.”

“Oh?” Hou Wu’s expression turned serious, “Seems like you have plans.”

Wu Qi looked up at the three on the jade pillars, saying sternly: “Of course.”

Hou Wu smacked his lips: “As expected of you. Well then, good luck~”

Hou Wu understood that the reason Su Yuan wouldn’t take Wu Qi’s place was that Wu Qi was aiming for the positions of those above.
