Heaven and Earth Star was a planet with a very long history.
Of course, in a sense, every region’s history was the same length, from past to present. The only reason some regions could claim to have a profound history was because they still inherited the traditions from ancient times.
Heaven and Earth Star was such a planet.
The title "Dao Lord" had been used by residents of Heaven and Earth Star ever since ancient times. Later, the meaning of this title changed several times when Star Realm unified all its regions, but the title’s distinguished status remained unchanged.
Today, however, these formerly high and mighty Dao Lords were concentrated in a small courtyard.
This was something that rarely happened in the history of Heaven and Earth Star, which had existed for tens of thousands of years. The last time such a high "Dao Lord density” gathering had taken place was during the warring era with military meetings and other such occasions.
"Absurd! Simply absurd!"
In a small courtyard, Lin Yunyun just calmly stood in front of all the Dao Lords, her expression unchanged.
The previous exclamation came from an elderly man whose surname was Pan. There was no longer anyone who remembered his real name. Presently, people only knew him as the "Mystical Heaven Dao Lord.” He was the owner of one of the largest Dao Halls in the Northern Region.
Before his disappearance, even Ye Chen showed great respect for the Mystical Heaven Dao Lord and didn't slight him at all.
This wasn’t only because of his formidable strength, but also because Elder Pan was very helpful to Ye Chen before his rise to power and even used to be Ye Chen’s backing once upon a time.
This was not a special case.
This Elder Pan was famous for his generous, righteous, and forthright attitude. He was also highly respected among the Dao Lords. In the past, he often supported and guided the younger generations.
Even among today's Dao Lords, there were many who received his help.
"There are 15 Dao Lords in faraway regions, and it’s hard for them to make it here in time. Don’t tell me that Lord is going to kill them all?" In the face of Lin Yunyun's message, Elder Pan took the lead in asking that question.
Without waiting for Lin Yunyun’s answer, someone among the Dao Lords immediately followed up.
"That’s right! We Dao Lords usually have our own affairs to attend to; we aren’t idle people with ample amounts of free time. How can we all stay in our Dao Halls and wait for your summons?"
"Even when the esteemed Luo siblings ruled this region for hundreds of years, we have never heard of such a rule!"
"Even if His Excellency is in the Void Cutter Realm, doesn’t he still have to listen to reason?"
However, Lin Yunyun just watched them apathetically, even when faced with all these condemnations. When everyone finally stopped, she slowly spoke, "I've already delivered the message. Whether you listen or not is your business."
After saying this, Lin Yunyun left without looking back.
When had the Dao Lords ever been slighted like this before? Someone immediately shouted, "How presumptuous! You—"
However, he was stopped by someone, and he turned to look. It was Elder Pan, the Mystical Heaven Dao Lord.
"Elder Pan…"
Elder Pan shook his head slightly and rumbled, "Don't be impulsive."
That Dao Lord took a deep breath. He could only swing his hand hatefully.
A female Dao Lord next to him said, "Elder Pan is right. The whereabouts of the esteemed Luo siblings are currently unknown, so we must not directly oppose that one."
"Alas! If only that one can also ignore worldly affairs and delegate all the power to us, just like those esteemed Luo siblings did," the angry Dao Lord also shook his head and sighed at this time.
He was also from the Northern Region. His Daoist name was "Qing Shi," and he was an expert blade wielder.
Before Ye Chen’s rise, this Qing Shi Dao Lord was the most famous genius in the Northern Region, and his life experience was legendary.
It was precisely because of this that he could hardly accept such contempt from a junior.
But what he said was also true. In the era of Luo Jie and Luo Fei, these two siblings basically didn't care what the Dao Lords did; they only cared about their own affairs.
Moreover, if someone accidentally provoked a strong enemy from outside the Sixth Region, the siblings would even come out to uphold justice for the local Dao Lords; they were simply generous to the extreme.
Now, however, that Lord Gu Nan actually wanted to unify Heaven and Earth Star by force, and judging by his posture, he probably wanted to incorporate every Dao Lord into his forces, which was completely unacceptable to the Dao Lords.
‘This is the organization I worked hard to manage for over a hundred years, yet you want to take it away just like that? It's too much!’
“That Lord needs a stable Heaven and Earth Star that’s under his control." The female Dao Lord “Cang Lian” added, "As long as we can help him achieve this, our goals won’t conflict with his."
"That's right. The gaze of such a bigshot is no longer on this tiny piece of land. Why would he bother to make things hard for us?"
"That Red Tail is nothing more than a fox pretending to be powerful using the tiger’s power. We might even be able to take her place with some work."
Cang Lian’s words immediately gained many Dao Lords’ support. Anyone who could sit here today wouldn’t be a fool. Even the Qing Shi Dao Lord’s previous theatrics might have been an act too.
They naturally thought that such a high-ranking Void Cutter expert wouldn’t possibly snatch their food, not when he had much more tempting targets like Luo Jie and Luo Fei in front of him.
It's just that Gu Nan had just advanced, so his horizons couldn’t broaden so suddenly. That was why he was obsessed with territory.
As long as they could give him a stable Heaven and Earth Star to rule over, he would naturally be satisfied.
After some discussion, Elder Pan finally came out and concluded, "Since everyone has the same idea, three days later, we will persuade that Lord…"
……
In a remote town in the southern part of the mainland, a man sat in the small room of a hotel, coldly drinking his sorrows away.
"Brother…" With a melodic voice, the girl lying on the shabby bed slowly woke up and suddenly began to call him.
Luo Jie hurried to his younger sister's side, sighing in relief upon seeing that she finally woke up.
Luo Fei opened her eyes and looked around, gradually coming to her senses and realizing her own situation. "Brother, are we… still on Heaven and Earth Star?"
Luo Jie nodded gravely. "That bastard! He had people control all the starship landings and takeoff points, so we have no way to escape."
"It's all my fault that Brother is trapped here…"
"What nonsense! We’re just temporarily trapped here. When your injuries heal, where can we not go?"
Luo Fei gritted her teeth as her expression also gradually became determined. After all, she was a Void Cutter Realm figure. How could she cry like a little girl?
"What about the Heavenly Palace?" After regaining her senses, Luo Fei immediately asked.
"It’s already been destroyed. That person did it personally," Luo Jie answered darkly. "They even took Xin’er.”
Luo Fei's face suddenly paled, and her body swayed.
"Brother, we must save Xin'er!" Luo Fei grabbed Luo Jie's sleeve with a jerk, her expression stiff.
Luo Jie was silent for a moment and finally said, "Then there is only one way. I've visited Heavenly Palace Island. That place hasn’t been discovered yet."
Luo Fei was dazed. Of course she knew what her older brother was talking about.
Over the years, the siblings had always attached great importance to Heaven and Earth Star. Any Void Cutter cultivator who entered their planet uninvited would automatically draw the siblings’ hostility. This was all to protect that item.
"We've been hiding for so many years; it's time to end it." Luo Fei looked solemn. "Let’s have that fellow…”
“Be our first sacrifice."
