Chapter 1154: Rank Four Stargazer Xin Lu

Whatever it was, the secret passage from the Star Observatory to the outside world was sealed off and the Star Observatory quickly resumed operations.

The prison was also quickly restored, and a third of the prisoners had been killed. The others were caught and brought back to the prison, and only a small portion remained free in the Land of Star Origin.

When the Star Observatory returned to normal, the Seventh Camp was deployed away and they were replaced by Liu Jiuzhen and the members of the First Camp.

Kou Chongxue, who had been hiding in the city for some time, finally received news from Feng Ziying.

Even though he was certain Shang Xia was the person who caused the huge ruckus, from how everything calmed down without a huge battle, Kou Chongxue knew that there was no point rushing out to try anything. He might just expose his existence and cause even more trouble. Helpless, he could only remain in his courtyard and wait for more news.

Two days later, when the matters regarding the Star Observatory returned to normal, the Seventh Camp was sent back to the city and Feng Ziying managed to learn a little of what happened.

…

“So… It’s extremely likely the kid managed to escape?” Kou Chongxue muttered softly after hearing Feng Ziying’s explanation.

Unlike Kou Chongxue who was deep in contemplation, Feng Ziying looked much more relaxed. He laughed, “The Star Origin Guards will definitely keep whatever happened hidden. They claimed that something happened due to the unrest in the prison, but it was quickly suppressed after it was discovered. Everything is said to have returned to normal, but actually, the Star Origin Guards aren’t in complete control. There are several foreign experts who managed to escape and went out hiding in the wilderness, and they have been sending news to their respective factions.”

Kou Chongxue revealed a grin and nodded slowly. “From how the Seventh Camp has been deployed back into the city, the chaos in the Star Origin Guards is clear for all to see.”

Feng Ziying grunted once, but he quickly broke out laughing, “The little brat definitely stole a lot of shit from the Star Observatory. I heard from members of the Second Camp who returned that Liu Jiuzhen had been urging the Stargazers to record down everything they knew… Haha! The institution’s Stargazer inheritance is going to be completed now!”

Kou Chongxue nodded in response. However, he quickly asked about something else, “From the looks of it, there’s a secret passage from the Star Observatory to the outside world… He didn’t have any more Six Harmony Teleportation Talismans, and the only way he managed to escape would be through the secret passage.”

Feng Ziying frowned slightly and muttered, “Say… If news of this spreads, the Star Observatory will probably no longer have any peace, right?”

Kou Chongxue sank into thoughts, but he quickly shook his head. “How can the Star Origin Guards not think of that? I’m afraid Liu Jiuzhen isn’t the only person stationed in the Star Observatory at the moment. There might be a hidden True Immortal ready to surprise anyone who attempts anything… The moment anyone appears… Do you believe He Yingrui and the others will be waiting for them?”

“It’s a trap… Haha, I should have thought of it.” Feng Ziying sighed regretfully. All of a sudden, his pupils trembled and he frowned. “Hey, that little brat left without saying anything. You still have a Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman… When are you going to leave?”

“Heh, what’s the matter? Are you trying to chase me away? Too late. I’m no longer in a rush. I’m planning to stay here for some time. After all, I’m going to have to bring those Formation Masters of the Azure Oddity World back safely after this.” Kou Chongxue snorted.

Feng Ziying rolled his eyes in response. “What the fuck? I am more than capable of protecting them in the city. Why do you have to stay?!”

“It’s nothing much. I just feel like the Star Origin Dao Field holds too many secrets and this might be our best chance at digging them all out…” Kou Chongxue laughed in a low voice.

In the void nearly 100,000 miles away from the Land of Star Origin, Shang Xia brought Xin Lu, a rank four Stargazer, to an Earth Star.

“I didn’t think that the secret passage would lead to this place!” Xin Lu gasped while looking around her. However, she also didn’t seem too surprised.

“Do you know where this is?” Shang Xia asked.

Xin Lu nodded slightly. “Xing Xingtian brought me here once. This was where his hometown was.”

“Hometown?” Shang Xia looked around and inspected the Earth Star with his divine soul, failing to notice anything strange.

“This is an Earth Star with mortals… There are no traces of cultivation here!” Xin Lu exclaimed, seemingly predicting what Shang Xia was doing. “Xing Xingtian helped a heavily injured Star Origin Guard who came here once, and he was brought over to the Land of Star Origin…”

Grunting once, Shang Xia mumbled, “From the looks of it, the secret passage leading out of the Star Observatory should be able to shift…”

Xin Lu’s eyes went wide with amazement. “How do you know?!”

“The secret passage existed for more than 300 years, but Xing Xingtian probably took charge of it 300 years ago, right?” Shang Xia laughed.

“So that’s how you knew…” Xin Lu nodded slowly. “Where are you planning to bring me next? What are your arrangements for me?”

Shang Xia smiled and mumbled, “To be honest, I didn’t think that Grandmaster Xiao would tell me to bring you away, and I didn’t think you would agree so easily. I also didn’t think that your relationship with Xing Xingtian would be so… Ahem… So intimate…”

“Senior Brother Xiao probably has his reasons for making that oath, and along with other reasons, he can’t leave the Star Observatory!” Xin Lu explained without a change in expression. Soon, she snorted and tried to provoke Shang Xia with her words, “What’s the matter? Are you feeling some sort of pressure now? Are you regretting your decision?”

Glancing at Xin Lu, Shang Xia chuckled in a hoarse voice, “I flipped the Star Observatory upside down with my actions… The 1000 years of hard work of Star Origin City had basically been wiped away. Compared to what I did, what does kidnapping a rank four Stargazer seem in comparison?”

Xin Lu fell deep into thoughts for a moment before she continued in a placid voice, “Hmm… I’m only curious about your identity now. Not many people have the guts to offend Star Origin City. As for stealing… I mean, taking away the inheritance, means that you’re not a solitary expert roaming the sea of stars. You should have massive backing to try something like this. Of the surrounding worlds… Are you from the Spirit Mammoth World or the Spirit Abundance World? Or are you from the Spirit Tinkle World?”

Shang Xia chuckled in a low voice. “You’ll know soon. However, due to your sensitive identity, you won’t be able to appear for quite some time. Alright. I’ll arrange for you to be hidden in a secret region.”

Xin Lu wasn’t surprised at all. She continued, “As long as I can get away from Xing Xingtian, I’m fine with concealing my identity and going into hiding. However… I’m still a Stargazer at the end of the day. I need a Star Observatory in order to make full use of my abilities…”

“Relax. There’s no need for you to try to test me here. When I bring you back, you’ll naturally learn of my affiliations. You will also know what I need you to do.” Shang Xia snorted softly.

Understanding the hidden meaning in his words, Xin Lu gasped, “Do you really have a Star Observatory?”
