Star Odyssey Chapter 1111: Unexpected Person

Chapter 1111: Unexpected Person

Ku Lei struggled to sit up, and there was a clear palm print embedded in his abdomen.

Lu Yin appeared in the distance and coldly looked at Ku Lei. “You can leave now.”

Ku Lei gritted his teeth as he stared at Lu Yin, but he did not speak. His abdomen was quickly recovering, and it was not the only area doing so; both of his shoulders were also rapidly recovering.

Lu Yin was astonished. “The Ku Secret Art: Spring Renewal?”

The Ku family’s secret technique was known as Spring Renewal, and even though Lu Yin could tell that the secret technique probably had something to do with healing, he had never thought that it would be this fast. Shockingly, it had actually surpa.s.sed the Sixth Mainland’s Reversal Cycle.

Ku Lei quickly recovered, and he stared at Lu Yin even with bloodstained teeth. “I’ve learned something today. Lu Yin? Alright, I’ll look for you.”

Lightning flashed as he sped off into the distance.

Lu Yin did not stop him. Ku Lei had already lost, and people were supposed to do their best to avoid killing others during this compet.i.tion. This was particularly true considering how Lu Yin’s opponent was someone from the Seven Courts.

Actually, even if Lu Yin had wanted to kill Ku Lei, it would not be easy, and there was no blood feud between them either.

However, if Lu Yin encountered Jin He, there would be no mercy shown, and it would actually be fine as people would simply say that it was a bit of internal strife related to the Innerverse. The blood debt stemming from that paper that had listed seventy two lives with the Lu surname had to be collected.

Lu Yin’s victory over Ku Lei was astounding, and it shocked the entire Mountain and Seas Zone.

In almost no time at all, everyone had heard of it.

As the heir of the Ku family, Ku Lei was considered to be one of the most powerful youths in the Neoverse, and he was even able to safely retreat against Shang Qing, but that same Ku Lei had been defeated by Lu Yin.

This incident led to a commotion that far outstripped Lu Yin’s expectations.

In particular, the Seven Courts had set their sights on Lu Yin.

Outside the Mountain and Seas Zone, within Azure Mansion, many discussed Lu Yin first fight against Shang Qing and then his second with Ku Lei. They would then talk about what Lu Yin had done in the Innerverse and Outerverse, and his accomplishments shocked many people when they learned of them.

Gu Xiao’er was also shocked. “He actually defeated Ku Lei? Impressive.”

War King Xing Kai felt envious. “How good it must feel to roam about and freely fight in the Mountain and Seas Zone!”

G.o.d Taiyi looked to be at peace. “Defeating Ku Lei means that the other heirs from the Seven Courts won’t let the matter rest. They’ll definitely look to make trouble for Lu Yin, even if just to salvage their reputation.”

Gu Xiao’er answered with disgust, “What Seven Courts? They’re the weakest out of the Three Dark Hands. The Xia family’s Xia Jiuyou has already been beaten several times, and the Ce family’s Ce Jiu simply slipped away as soon as he met Shang Qing, as if he had nothing to show. The entire Yu family is simply gone, the Yōu family has fallen apart, and the entire Seven Courts has been greatly weakened.”

“Don’t underestimate the Seven Courts. Their foundation is immeasurable,” G.o.d Taiyi cautioned.

Liquor Hero was sprawled across the table while holding her barrel of wine. She mumbled something to herself, but n.o.body was able to understand what she said, though a few words could barely be made out, “Chen,” and “Some tomb.”

The Mountain and Seas Zone were in complete chaos at this time, especially since, recently, rumors of heirs from the Neoverse’s various top-tier powers joining forces to force out the Innerverse’s Ten Arbiters had started spreading. When this news broke, quite a few people simply left the Mountain and Seas Zone; they had only come to try their luck, and they did not want to get caught up in such an intense battle. They would rather return to the Mountain and Seas Zone once the Astral Tower contest actually began while hiding for the time being!

This rumor led to a surge in Azure Mansion’s business, leaving Gu Xiao’er disgruntled. For him, life was no longer as peaceful as before.

In one corner of the Mountain and Seas Zone, one black and one white figure streaked through the air. There were dozens of cultivators behind them, all of them wearing an indignant expression with some even cursing.

“White, you went overboard! Teasing is teasing, but why did you take their pants off? Don’t you feel any shame?” Black said.

White pursed her lips. “I didn’t want to do it either! Who asked him to move? As soon as he did, his pants fell down.”

“No, that’s not pants. It’s a skirt.”

“A skirt? It should have been pants.”

“Look back. That’s definitely a skirt! Look at how angry that auntie is.” Black turned around as she spoke.

A girl chasing after the twins at the front of the group heard Black’s words, and the girl’s expression grew dark. “Stupid brat! I’ll tear your mouth off when I catch you!”

“Black, she’s so fierce! She definitely won’t be able to find any man like that.” White felt afraid.

Black nodded in a serious manner. “She’s so fierce and ugly, and her skin is so loose that she’ll easily get wrinkles. It’s no wonder why no one wants her.”

Black then shouted behind, “Auntie! Control your anger, you’re starting to smoke!”

White laughed, “Giving off smoke, haha, smoking.”

That woman behind was so angry she nearly shattered her teeth in anger. “Get them! Those two stupid brats have to be captured.”

There were some dozens of cultivators chasing after the girl, and there were some who did not even know her. However, everyone’s reason for chasing after Black and White was the same: they wanted to rip the girls’ mouths off, which the twins indeed deserved.

Black and White exchanged glances. “Faster! We can't be captured.”

“They’re all so aggressive. They should be put in cages.”

…

With Black and White’s speed, even someone like Ku Lei was not able to catch them, let alone this group of people. However, the two girls were not moving very fast at this time, and they kept the hopes of their pursuers alive. As a result, the pursuers became more and more infuriated, and they began plotting and scheming of a way to surround the twins and capture them.

Mu Ziying, Hua Xiao, and Yao Ji were resting nearby, and they looked up to see Black and White running towards them.

Yao Ji was about to make a move when Hua Xiao growled at him, “It’s none of our business, so don’t make any trouble.”

Yao Ji nodded and sat back down.

They did not move while Black and White drew closer and looked at the trio with curiosity. White pointed at the three young men. “They look familiar.”

Black blinked and then excitedly shouted, “They play with stars!”

Mu Ziying’s lips stretched tight, as he had recognized these two as the troublemakers from Eversky Island.

Hua Xiao had also recognized the twins, which was why he had told Yao Ji to sit down, as Hua Xiao had not wanted to draw the girls’ attention. He had not expected them to be unable to avoid the twins.

“So it’s Juniors Black and White. What are you girls doing?” Mu Ziying asked with a forced smile.

White exclaimed, “Black, look at how ugly his smile is.”

Mu Ziying’s eyes twitched.

Black pressed a hand onto White’s head, and seriously told her, “White, don’t spout nonsense! This is Senior Mu from the Starry Stars Sect.”

White grunted in acknowledgement. “I know, the Starry Stars Sect.”

Mu Ziying was speechless. “Juniors, we have some things that we need to attend to, so we’ll leave first.”

He wanted to leave quickly.

Black and White tugged Mu Ziying’s sleeves from each side and pathetically whined, “Starry Stars Sect Senior, we’re being bullied!”

As they spoke, the group of cultivators caught up from behind and surrounded the small group while glaring at the two brats.

In particular, one woman gritted her teeth until they nearly shattered. She sneered at the twins, and mockingly said, “Run! Go on and run some more! We’ll definitely rip your mouths off this time and help your teachers by teaching you a lesson.”

Black and White pursed their lips as they looked Mu Ziying with tearful eyes.

Mu Ziying held his forehead and helplessly looked over at Hua Xiao.

Hua Xiao tapped Yao Ji’s shoulder. “Chase them away.”

Yao Ji was taken aback. “Me?”

“If not you, then who else?” Hua Xiao glanced around.

Yao Ji was stunned. How did he end up as the unlucky one? However, when facing glares from both Mu Ziying and Hua Xiao, Yao Ji did not dare to resist, and he stepped forward. Stars revolved around his body, and suddenly, the expressions of all the surrounding people drastically changed.

“Everyone, no matter your grievances, since the Astral Tower compet.i.tion is about to begin, please leave,” Yao Ji said.

The Cosmic Sect was a colossal existence in the Neoverse, and even the Hall of Honor would prefer not provoking them. Their sect contained many experts, and they were also all Lockbreakers.

Lockbreakers were highly respected. That, combined with their ident.i.ties as members of the Cosmic Sect, meant that not many in the Neoverse would bother the Cosmic Sect’s disciples.

Although they were unwilling to let go of this grievance, the surrounding people did not want to offend the Cosmic Sect just because of these two brats’ pranks.

Each person eventually left, and even the most reluctant woman was finally dragged away.

Mu Ziying grudgingly said, “Alright now, juniors.”

Black and White released his sleeves, and they smiled casually at him. “Senior Acquaintance is really so good. Even though he’s ugly, his heart is kind.”

Hua Xiao and Yao Ji looked at the twins with odd expressions.

Mu Ziying took a deep breath. “That last sentence didn’t need to be said.

“Alright then, we’ll leave first, as we have things we need to do.”

The two brats grabbed ahold of his sleeves once again and looked at him with pitiful expressions.

Mu Ziying was momentarily rendered speechless, but then he suddenly thought of something, and he smiled at the girls. “I forgot to tell you this—your Eversky Island’s nominal disciple, Lu Yin, is here. He just defeated the Ku family’s heir, Ku Lei, of the Seven Courts. He must have done so to avenge you two. Go and look for him, as he’s clearly thinking of you.”

The two brats grew excited. “Lu Yin’s here? Alright, Black, let’s go look for him to play around! This senior is too weak, so he can’t protect us.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, White! Senior isn’t weak—it’s just that his body is a little frail. Let’s go! We’ll go look for Lu Yin to play with,” Black said.

White grunted in agreement, and in the blink of an eye, the two disappeared, leaving behind Mu Ziying’s trio, all of whom had ugly expressions on their faces.

They were true disciples of the Cosmic Sect, but they had actually been ridiculed and their bodies criticized. They had never suffered such a humiliation throughout their entire lives.

Hua Xiao smiled bitterly. “Senior, don’t mind them, all of us know how those brats are. When Grand Senior first came to the sect, she was also frustrated by them.”

Mu Ziying shrugged. “I know. It’s good that they left us, but Lu Yin won’t have a good time if they stick around.”

Hua Xiao laughed as he thought about that. “He’s going to be unfortunate, haha.”

Yao Ji also smiled, as he was delighted to think of how Lu Yin would have a difficult time.

Many people wanted to see Lu Yin suffer, but few were capable of putting him in that situation. At this moment, he was very, very surprised to see a certain person. This was someone who should not be in this place yet clearly was: Xia Luo.

“Why are you here?” Lu Yin stared at Xia Luo in astonishment. Xia Luo still had the same gentle and dignified appearance with a calm aura.

Xia Luo smiled. “Why should I be here? You should know my background by now.”

Lu Yin nodded. “The leader of the Seven Courts, the Xia family.”

Xia Luo looked at Lu Yin with admiration. “I thought that you had really died at Nightking Zhenwu’s hands back then. Who could have expected that you would reappear in such a lively manner, and you even managed to get all the way over here. Brother Lu, it’s no wonder why you were the leader of our Astral-10 back then.”

Lu Yin casually replied, “It was just good luck.”

Xia Luo laughed. “It was good luck that you defeated Lan Si and Nightking Zhenwu? That sort of luck is simply defying the heavens.”

“You’re not bad either. You must be a Cruiser now, so you must have graduated.” Lu Yin looked at Xia Luo.

Xia Luo spread his hands. “Not yet, I forgot.”

Lu Yin said, “Me too, I also forgot. Since it’s like this, I guess that we can still be considered students.”

“Of course, you’re still my leader.” Xia Luo smiled.

Lu Yin had never thought that he would b.u.mp into Xia Luo in this place. Lu Yin had progressed this quickly because he had taken some shortcuts, but Xia Luo had also become a Cruiser, which was an exceptional cultivation speed.

Also, he was able to represent the Xia family at the Astral Tower contest while just a Cruiser, which showed that Xia Luo’s status within the Xia family was by no means ordinary.
