Chapter 6489 Fairy Zhao Yue
A starry river swept over the battlefield, bringing thousands of experts whose presences pressed like a heavy weight.
Shockingly, the disciples of the Starry River Sect had arrived. At first, the ones fighting the nine star line jumped in fright, thinking that a new batch of nine star heirs had come.
However, a closer reading of their auras revealed a difference: the nine star line radiated explosive violence, while the Starry River disciples were gentler, steadier.
“We will exterminate any faction that dares to touch Master Long Chen!” shouted one of the Starry River Sect’s experts.
To the Starry River Sect, Long Chen stood alongside the Starry River Sage. One was the sect’s founder who opened a new branch of astral cultivation, while the other was the savior who reconnected the sect’s path, allowing all its disciples to cultivate to higher realms.
Now, seeing so many experts from the nine heavens pressing toward the Earth Cauldron filled them with rage. Long Chen had given them the chance to stay in the heaven region’s battlefield by breaking the scales, but this was what he got in return?
The Starry River Sect’s disciples gnashed their teeth. They slaughtered anyone in their way, whether they were from the nine heavens or not.
The Starry River Sect’s disciples were incredibly powerful. With pure astral energy, they could wrestle divine weapons barehanded; blood mist followed their wake.
At this sight, the Four Cardinal Alliance’s Su Yu gritted her teeth.
“The Starry River Sect has arrived. In that case, there’s no need for us to hold back anymore. Disciples of the Four Cardinal Alliance, hear my order! Unleash your astral energy and breach our enemies’ blockade immediately!”
Su Yu herself summoned astral energy. With that deep force, her group shattered the outsider experts who had been holding them back.
“What?!”
Seeing a large group of experts in the Four Cardinal Alliance unleash astral energy, the nine star line’s experts were shocked and outraged.
They always believed that astral energy was the secret of the nine star line. How could so many people use it now?
The Starry River Sect’s arrival freed Su Yu’s hand, and the Four Cardinal Alliance pressed harder. With this, the pressure on the enemy increased, while the pressure on Meng Qi and the others lightened slightly.
From the other side of the battlefield, a group of white-robed disciples appeared. The mark of the High Firmament Academy was on their collars and sleeves. They gracefully moved through the battlefield, their swords dancing and cutting through their enemies’ defenses.
“Boss Long Chen, I, Long Ziwei, have come! I’ve brought our senior apprentice-brothers and sisters! They’re all powerful and want to compete with you. But first, we’ll kill anything in our way!” Long Ziwei shouted toward the Earth Cauldron, heedless of whether Long Chen could hear him.
He continued, “As for the peerless fairy at the front, she is our boss. Her name is Zhao Yue, fairy Zhao Yue—aiya!”
Before he could finish, a ponytailed woman beside him kicked him squarely in the butt.
“Quit running your mouth, or Big Sister Zhao Yue will sew it shut!” she hissed.
At the front of their group stood a white-robed woman whose every movement radiated quiet strength. Her sword danced through the air, sending waves of Sword Qi slicing through the void. Wherever she passed, enemies fell into pieces.
The white-robed woman had skin as smooth as jade. Her face was as beautiful as a flower in full bloom, and her long black hair flowed freely. Every single one of her movements exuded unmatched elegance.
This woman was Zhao Yue, the strongest sealed heavenly genius of the academy. After Long Chen’s departure, she claimed the title of their strongest young expert.
She didn’t even bat an eye at Long Ziwei’s nonsense, her face like a rippleless well. It was as if she didn’t even hear it as she led the High Firmament Academy’s disciples forward.
Seeing that Zhao Yue didn’t chide him, Long Ziwei’s guts grew.
To that sharp-mouthed woman, he said, “What do you know? Boss Long Chen has many beauties by his side! When it comes to looks, their beauty can topple an entire nation! They’re also geniuses amongst geniuses! So many of Boss’s women are here, so we can’t let Fairy Zhao Yue look inferior in comparison! We must tell them who she is!”
That woman frowned. “I suppose. But if you’re Big Sister Zhao Yue’s subordinate, why call Long Chen ‘boss’? That’s disloyal and shameless.”
“How is it shameless? Maybe we’ll all be one family soon. Then what difference would it make?” Long Ziwei replied with a grin.
The woman’s brows furrowed deeper. Then, she caught on and glared daggers at Long Ziwei. “You little brat. Nice try, but that’ll never happen.”
“What’s impossible about it? It’s not like Boss Long Chen hasn’t won over multiple women!” claimed Long Ziwei.
“Tch. You think Long Chen is worthy? He’s not even fit to carry Miss Zhao Yue’s shoes. Don’t dream about being a toad wanting a swan.”
The woman clenched her fists, ready to knock Long Ziwei senseless.
Long Ziwei said, “When did I say I wanted a swan? I know my limits. Boss Long Chen beat me to a pulp last time, and Fairy Zhao Yue flattened me too. I’ll never catch up to either of them. Better to accept my fate and enjoy life. I admire Fairy Zhao Yue, sure, but between the two, Boss Long Chen’s just a bit stronger...”
“Bullshit!” the woman cursed loudly.
After all, she was Zhao Yue’s most loyal follower. No one could beat Zhao Yue in her heart.
As time went on, their “quiet” discussion started to draw everyone’s attention. Quite a few angry glares turned their way. What kind of time was it to be flirting?
“Be more serious. A powerful foe has appeared!” chided Zhao Yue.
Neither Long Ziwei nor that woman dared to say anything anymore. Their group continued forward. All of a sudden, space twisted before them, and a blood-skinned giant emerged, blocking their advance.
“Miss Zhao Yue, be careful! It’s the Bloodthirsty Stone Devil race!”
As the High Firmament Academy was the oldest academy within the nine heavens and ten lands, the High Firmament Academy’s disciples were well-read; many instantly recognized the terrifying creature.
“A fallen academy dares appear before me?” the Bloodthirsty Stone Devil sneered. “Hmph. Today, you all become my prey!”
With a roar, he swung a massive stone hammer down toward them.
