76: Zhuge Changqing!

Third-Rank Star Domain.

In the imposing hall.

Indistinct figures stood on high seats; every gesture was filled with the charm of heaven and earth.

Just by sitting there, their majesty surged like a vast ocean.

It was bone-chilling.

Suddenly.

A crisp shattering sound echoed through the hall.

A figure opened their eyes, revealing cold, netherfire-like pupils.

He spoke softly, as if recounting something trivial.

"Yun Han is dead."

Upon hearing this, the other divine shadows in the hall slowly opened their eyes.

There was no trace of grief or pity.

Only the indifference of viewing a tool.

"A piece of trash."

"He couldn't even conquer a tiny Sixth-Rank Star Domain."

"Such a lowly person is unworthy of entering the Longevity Family; if he dies, so be it."

The others nodded one after another.

But soon, the figure on the main seat spoke again.

"Reasonable."

"But the Longevity Family cannot be humiliated."

"Send out the Dark Guards. Those involved in the Sixth-Rank Star Domain."

"Exterminate them all!"

As the voice fell, dozens of figures flashed outside the hall, like assassins hidden in the darkness.

Even at close range, their Faces could not be seen.

The leading man knelt on one knee.

The figure in the hall said:

"Three generations of Sima Yunhan's lineage."

"Expel them from the family register."

"In the Sixth-Rank Star Domain, Lin You and the Lin Family, destroy their Divine Souls completely."

"Is that clear?"

The man respectfully lowered his head, acknowledged the order, and turned to leave.

But before he could even leave the hall's vicinity, he heard a bone-chilling roar from within.

"Zhuge Changqing?"

"You dare to trespass into my Sima Family's residence."

"Do you really think my Sima Family wouldn't dare to touch you?"

The moment the voice rang out, the boundless sky rose from the horizon, instantly turning into aurora, spanning the firmament.

A hearty, bright laugh came from afar.

"Why must you be angry, Senior?"

"Conflicts between Juniors should be settled by the Juniors themselves."

"Such behavior, wouldn't it lose the dignity of the Longevity Family?"

Immediately after, a guy holding a folding fan and wearing blue and white Daoist robes walked out of the Void Realm out of thin air.

He had a just-right smile on his Face.

Even walking alone into the Sima Family residence, he remained completely unmoved.

A sinister, cold laugh came from inside the hall.

"I thought it was something major."

"To actually alarm a great Genius of the Zhuge Family."

"According to you, you want to protect that Lin You?"

A faint killing intent emanated from the hall.

Zhuge Changqing acted as if he didn't notice, nodding to himself.

"Not so."

"It is not me who wants to protect him."

"It is my brother from the Zhuge Family who wants to protect him. This is his first request upon visiting."

"How could my Zhuge Family not agree?"

As the voice fell, the killing intent in the hall almost condensed into substance.

Scarlet gale winds spread for a thousand miles along the roof, dragging the entire world into boundless darkness.

"Tsk..."

"Compared to that ant, my Sima Family is more interested in strangling you in the cradle."

"Didn't your Elders teach you?"

"Entering a tiger's den can lead to death?"

— Boom.

In an instant, a sharp finger beam shot out from the hall, heading straight for Zhuge Changqing.

Its power was so strong it shook heaven and earth.

I fear an ordinary Profound Immortal would have perished on the spot.

But Zhuge Changqing just laughed heartily, gently waving his folding fan, and three thousand starlights poured out.

In an instant, the killing intent was defeated.

"This Junior is timid, Senior, please don't joke with me."

"If things go wrong, the Zhuge Family might take it seriously."

"If our two families really fight to the death, I fear you cannot make that decision, Senior, can you?"

The hall fell into a rare silence.

Zhuge Changqing spoke slowly, drawing a token from his waist:

"From today on."

"Lin You is my Zhuge Family's Heavenly Patrol Envoy."

"According to the Longevity Law."

"No one is allowed to attack him without authorization; violators will definitely be suppressed by the Imperial Clan."

The person in the hall sneered.

"Then how do we account for him killing my Sima Family's Patrol Envoy?"

Zhuge Changqing waved his hand.

The great power of heaven and earth gathered before him.

The scenes that happened in the Sixth-Rank Star Domain were projected into the Void Realm like a recording.

It clearly showed the actions of the two previous Heavenly Patrol Envoys, as well as the secret collusion of the Su Family.

The matter was clear by now.

Zhuge Changqing said calmly: "The Sima Family's Patrol Envoy brought this upon himself; he cannot be spared."

"Sima Yunhan treated the Longevity Law as nothing."

"He acted without authorization to enter the Sixth-Rank Star Domain, attempting to provoke a war of extermination."

"By his crimes, he deserves death!"

"Is Senior satisfied with this result?"

With a few words, Zhuge Changqing cleared the Sima Family of any involvement in this matter.

He turned the actions of the Heavenly Patrol Envoy and Sima Yunhan into their own independent actions.

He gave them both substance and Face.

Now he was just waiting for a word from the Sima Family.

The All Heavens and Myriad Realms are vast; even a Longevity Family cannot do whatever they want!

After a long time, a muffled echo came from the hall.

"And if my Sima Family insists on acting arbitrarily, what then?"

Zhuge Changqing smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said calmly.

"I like that Lin You very much; he is even stronger than my Zhuge Family's son-in-law."

"Such an opponent is rare in my life."

"The Sima Family wants to act arbitrarily? Then try it against my Zhuge Family."

"Let's see if your sword is sharp."

This time, there was silence in the hall for a long time.

Zhuge Changqing seemed to understand something; he waved his hand casually with a smile on his lips.

"Thank you, Senior."

"I have many things to do at home, so I won't stay for a meal."

"This Junior takes his leave."

Until he was further and further away, only then did he hear the cold, bone-chilling echo of the Sima Family.

"Inside the Dragon Court."

"My Sima Family will be waiting for you."

Zhuge Changqing smiled, returning to the clan, and looked at the expectant Qin Feng.

"It's settled."

"Take this token and send it to Lin You."

"From now on, when he is outside, he is the Patrol Envoy of my Zhuge Family."

"After you return from the Sixth-Rank Star Domain, you can enter the Star Sea Spirit Pool."

Qin Feng excitedly took the blue-green token; the characters 'Lin You' engraved on the back had brush strokes that pierced the firmament.

"Good..."

He had just taken two steps when he turned back, puzzled.

"Didn't I use the Star Sea Spirit Pool for the exchange?"

"Can I still enter?"

Zhuge Changqing said, looking slightly helpless: "What else can I do? Watch you be suppressed by others your whole life?"

"You are, after all, the son-in-law of the Zhuge Family; it would be very embarrassing if word got out."

"That Spirit Pool is originally only for those competing for the title of Divine Child, but you have outstanding talent, and you will surely seek the Dao of Longevity in the future."

"If you waste this Opportunity now, it will not be good for your future cultivation."

Qin Feng looked at him with slight gratitude.

Others might not know, but he was very clear about it.

The Star Sea Spirit Pool is a peerless treasure refined by the Zhuge Family after refining the Dao Fruits of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Even if an ordinary Cultivator absorbs just a little, they can cleanse their marrow and bones, and their cultivation will soar.

Let alone entering it directly.

Originally, he was worried about Lin You being retaliated against by the Sima Family, so he gave up his spot in the Spirit Pool to make the exchange.

He didn't expect that this future head of the Zhuge Family would still give him the spot.

Looking at the man before him, who was not much older than himself, Qin Feng nodded and said:

"Thank you."

"I won't say polite words; I, Qin Feng, will keep this in my heart."

"If you need help in the future, just ask."

Zhuge Changqing nodded, "Go and return quickly; the Star Sea Spirit Pool opens in three days."

...

At this moment, in the Fifth-Rank Star Domain.

The Liuguang Clan was already in an uproar.

The Elders in the hall were arguing endlessly.

"The Su Family is destroyed, so be it; we didn't have much of a friendship with them anyway."

"Must we get involved in this muddy water?"

An Elder angrily slapped the table, "This is not a question of friendship, but a question of Face."

"In the entire Fifth-Rank Star Domain and Sixth-Rank Star Domain."

"Who doesn't know that the Su Family is under the protection of our Liuguang Clan?"

"To be killed just like that, and we don't even make a sound? If we go out in the future, how will we show our Faces!"

As his words fell, most of the Elders nodded one after another.

"Makes sense."

"Gains and losses are small, but dignity is a big deal."

"If our Liuguang Clan does nothing today, no one will respect us when we go out in the future."

The hall was divided into two factions.

One side felt there was no need at all, let the matters of the Sixth-Rank Star Domain be.

While the other side wanted to wipe out that jumping ant.

Just then.

The Clan Head sitting at the head of the table spoke.

He frowned, slowly stood up, and his majesty filled the entire hall.

The whole place was silent.

"Enough."

"This concerns the dignity of the clan."

"Kill!"
