Ch 485: Arrival Of The Star Envoy
“He… he seems to have moved!”
Someone subconsciously looked back, immediately discovering Gou Xiangming’s unusual state, and couldn’t help but exclaim.
This immediately drew the attention of others, who all turned to look.
Gou Xiangming’s corpse was seen twitching slightly with a strange movement; the next moment, he stood up directly from the spot.
A very unique aura instantly emerged from Gou Xiangming’s body. This aura far surpassed the Heavenly Gang Realm, did not belong to Gou Xiangming at all, and was exceptionally terrifying.
At the same time, the clouds gathering on the horizon suddenly surged incessantly.
A very faint starlight burst forth from deep within the clouds.
The starlight was deep blue; initially only the size of a pinprick, it instantly became enormously large, dyeing the clouds a deep blue. The next moment, the starlight directly pierced through the thick clouds, falling rapidly towards below like a meteor.
In an instant, it merged into Gou Xiangming’s body.
Then, to the shocked and puzzled gaze of the Eastern Imperial Palace Disciples, the body slowly moved, as if stretching, with the bones throughout the body making cracking sounds as they rubbed together.
Gou Xiangming’s originally dim eyes also shone with radiance at this moment, shining like stars.
“He’s alive… No, he doesn’t seem to be the Fourth Elder anymore!”
Although the person before them still had Gou Xiangming’s appearance, his gaze and aura were completely different from before.
If the previous Gou Xiangming was a defeated dog at the end of its road, the current him was a ferocious beast showing off its sharp fangs. The difference between the two was worlds apart, with the latter feeling far more terrifying.
“What a bunch of good-for-nothings, unable to even handle such a small matter.”
Gou Xiangming casually stretched his neck, surveyed the crowd surrounding him, and chuckled.
Although it was still Gou Xiangming’s body, Gou Xiangming’s soul had already dissipated.
This task was Master’s orders, extremely important, so the Star Envoy had been constantly monitoring it. Only now, with Gou Xiangming’s exposure, he had no choice but to take action himself.
A long time ago, Gou Xiangming had a curse mark placed on his body that allowed the Star Envoy to possess him. Combined with the Star Envoy’s own unique Cultivation Method, his soul could directly devour Gou Xiangming’s original soul and thus occupy this body.
The Star Envoy’s seemingly casual attitude caused Wei Dongchen and the other Eastern Imperial Palace Disciples’ faces to drastically change.
The aura of the person before them was vastly different from that of the original Fourth Elder. Clearly, it was a different person, although they didn’t know how this person appeared using Gou Xiangming’s corpse.
However, everyone felt an immense pressure in their hearts, a pressure like death approaching, instantly making them feel terrified and giving them the urge to flee immediately.
“Immortal Realm!”
Su Nianyi’s gaze was cold as she looked towards the Star Envoy, her Jing Yuxianting trembling slightly.
She could sense the Immortal Realm aura on him.
And it wasn’t just any Immortal Realm; he should be someone who has almost stepped into the Half-step Divine Pool. There are only so many veteran Immortal Realm cultivators in the Tianxuan Realm, and they are basically all well-known, but this person was completely unfamiliar to her.
Although she didn’t know his identity, it was certain that he was also after the ground vein.
At this time, the Star Envoy looked at Xuan Leshan and chuckled, “Doing these little things under Master’s nose, how could I possibly let you leave Western Ting.”
As soon as he finished speaking…
Starlight flickered around the Star Envoy’s body. The next second, his figure vanished from the spot, suddenly appearing beside Xuan Leshan, reaching out to grab the box containing the ground vein in his arms.
As his palm extended, a faint radiance instantly enveloped it, as brilliant as the stars in the sky.
However, the moment they saw this radiance…
Xuan Leshan’s face changed, and a strange feeling of fear arose in his heart. He felt an irresistible aura from this radiance, as if he would die if he merely touched it.
And the other party’s plan was clearly to kill him and destroy the ground vein he held.
Therefore, Xuan Leshan immediately tried to dodge the attack, but although his consciousness could react, his body was a step too slow.
In this instant, the Star Envoy’s palm was only a hair’s breadth away from Xuan Leshan.
Everyone present did not expect that Gou Xiangming would stand up again in such a strange way and immediately attack Xuan Leshan. By the time they reacted and needed to stop it, it was already too late.
Hum!
At that moment, a resounding Sword Hum suddenly rang out.
Whoosh!
A cold light flashed across the Sword Edge of the Jing Yuxianting, and a terrifying Sword Momentum, as vast and mighty as a reversed celestial river, appeared in an instant, arriving in front of the Star Envoy.
Su Nianyi, holding the Jing Yuxianting, stood in front of Xuan Leshan.
At this critical juncture, the Star Envoy’s palm suddenly changed direction, striking directly at Su Nianyi herself.
Boom!
The Sword Edge and palm collided, the momentum extremely terrifying.
The mere shockwave caused the entire Heaven and Earth to tremble, and cracks like spiderwebs appeared on the dry, yellowish ground.
The violent gale force caused everyone’s robes to flutter, making them unsteady.
After the Eastern Imperial Palace Disciples steadied themselves, they couldn’t help but exclaim, “Junior Sister!”
Su Nianyi stepped back sharply, the Jing Yuxianting in her hand trembling incessantly. Her face turned pale, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth, and her aura gradually became less stable than before.
The Star Envoy’s sudden attack had been completely unexpected. To protect the ground vein, she hadn’t even mobilized much True Qi; she could only stand in front of the ground vein to block the blow.
Although she blocked it, she was injured as a result.
Not only that, but the Thousand Illusions Veil, originally used to change her appearance, was impacted by the offensive and reverted to its original form, falling into her hand.
Shen Nian’s image instantly changed, revealing Su Nianyi’s true appearance.
“So it’s the famed Bamboo Sword Immortal. I’ve long admired you!”
Upon seeing Su Nianyi, the Star Envoy smiled slightly, killing intent blazing in his eyes. As the starlight on his body became more intense, his aura became even more terrifying.
This time, he would not only shatter the ground vein but also kill this Human Race Sword Immortal.
“Bamboo Sword Immortal?!”
Upon seeing Su Nianyi’s true appearance, the Eastern Imperial Palace Disciples’ eyes were filled with shock.
They had naturally heard of the Bamboo Sword Immortal’s name.
They never imagined that their Junior Sister, whom they had been taking care of all this time, was actually Su Nianyi.
