"It's Lord Xuanming!"
"The Lord of the City is here!"
A gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Xingchen's gaze shifted slightly as he sized up the ruler of Xuanming City.
Judging from the aura, the opponent should be an Eternal True God, but it will probably be a breakthrough soon.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Qin Xin quickly put away her guqin and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, City Lord."
Xuanming Divine Lord waved his hand, his gaze lingering on Xingchen for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
With his level of understanding, he couldn't quite see through this young man who seemed to be an eternal true god.
"Gentlemen, if you have a grudge, you can resolve it with words. Why resort to violence? If you must resort to violence..."
Xuanming Divine Lord smiled slightly.
"How about we go outside the city?"
Qin Xin bit her lip, unwillingly saying, "Lord City Lord, this person trespassed into my Tianyin Pavilion, killed my distinguished guest, and destroyed my buildings. If you let him go like this..."
"All right."
Xuanming Divine Lord interrupted her, giving Xingchen a meaningful look.
"This deity does not seem to be an unreasonable person; there must be a reason for this."
Stardust smiled calmly: "Hehe, it was just something I did on a whim."
Upon hearing this, the Xuanming God Lord frowned slightly.
Acting on impulse, what an arrogant person! Perhaps he doesn't necessarily dislike the affairs of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion, but he simply took action because he was unhappy with them.
Xuanming Shenjun did not expect the other party to respond in this way.
He was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "My friend, how about you two each take a step back? You can compensate Tianyin Pavilion for some of its losses, and Tianyin Pavilion will accept the matter and not pursue it any further."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xin's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, but out of respect for the city lord, she could only smile and lower her head, forcing herself to say, "Since the city lord has spoken, my Tianyin Pavilion will naturally comply."
However, Stardust smiled.
"Sorry."
His tone was casual, yet carried an undeniable coldness.
"I don't have the habit of yielding to people who are weaker than me."
Before he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure suddenly erupted!
"boom--"
In an instant, the entire Xuanming City seemed to be pressed down by an invisible giant hand, the air froze, and the space trembled!
Those cultivators who were originally watching, whether they were Void True Gods or Eternal True Gods, were all struck as if by lightning. Their bodies froze, and then they knelt down uncontrollably, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, and even breathing became difficult!
Meanwhile, the four eternal true gods of Tianyin Pavilion—Qin Xin, the white-robed scholar, the harp youth, and the refined middle-aged man—were directly pressed to the ground, their bones cracking and unable to move even a finger!
"This this……"
Qin Xin lay on the ground, her pupils contracting violently, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.
She struggled to lift her head and look at Stardust, her eyes filled with disbelief and fear.
"The... Chaos Overlord?!"
Xuanming Divine Lord was also intimidated by this pressure. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his legs trembled slightly, but as the city lord, he could still stand up with difficulty.
He stared intently at Stardust, utterly shocked: "This senior... is actually the Chaos Ruler?!"
The Lord of Chaos!
That is a true being standing at the pinnacle of the Origin Continent! Even in the entire history of Xuanming City, there has never been a Chaos Ruler who has descended!
And now, a Chaos Ruler is standing right in front of him!
The four people from Tianyin Pavilion were completely desperate.
They had actually provoked a Chaos Ruler!
What logic? What rules? In the face of absolute power, everything is meaningless!
Qin Xin trembled all over, with only one thought in her mind—
it's over...
They're finished...
Xuanming Divine Lord trembled, then immediately bowed deeply, his forehead almost touching the ground: "So it is the Great Sage who has arrived. We were blind to his greatness, and we hope..."
He suddenly became speechless, only then realizing that he didn't even know the other person's name.
"Stars."
Stardust spoke softly.
"I hope the Great Sage of Stars will not take offense!"
Xuanming God-King's voice trembled.
"The affairs of Tianyin Pavilion are none of my concern! How the Great Sage decides to handle them is entirely up to him!"
Stardust nodded slightly, his gaze turning to the four people who were being pressed to the ground.
"Great Sage, spare my life!"
Qin Xin was the first to react, her voice trembling with tears.
"This humble woman was blind and ignorant, and offended the Great Sage's divine might..."
"We beg the Great Sage for mercy!"
The scholar in white had his forehead pressed against the ground, his whole body trembling.
Stardust ignored their pleas for mercy and went straight to the only remaining white jade chair in the main hall, where he sat down.
He gently raised a finger, and the terrifying pressure that had enveloped the entire city instantly dissipated.
"call--"
A collective sigh of relief filled the entire Xuanming City.
Qin Xin and the other three timidly got up, but only dared to bend over and didn't even dare to lift their heads.
"Da da da……"
Stardust's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest, each tap seeming to resonate in the hearts of the four.
Qin Xin felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest, and her back was already soaked in cold sweat.
Finally, Stardust spoke: "Today, I've come to enjoy music."
His voice was soft, yet it made everyone unconsciously hold their breath.
"I don't want to hear any unnecessary noise."
Stardust's gaze fell on Qin Xin.
"You have a good ear for music."
Qin Xin trembled, not yet realizing what those words meant.
"From this day forward, you shall play music exclusively for me."
These words silenced the entire hall. Qin Xin abruptly looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. She was the Master of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion, a peak Eternal True God, and now she was actually going to…
But when she saw Stardust's indifferent eyes, all her hesitation vanished instantly.
"Qin Xin...Yes, sir!"
She bowed deeply, her voice filled with the relief of surviving a calamity.
As long as I'm alive, that's enough.
She dared not hope for too much, for this Great Sage had killed people without hesitation before.
They never even dared to dream of being spared their offenses.
If they dared to refuse at this moment, and the other party killed them directly, they would have no way to resist.
Xingchen then looked at Mu Qing: "You, go and clean up the forces behind that guy who just spouted nonsense."
Mu Qing grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Yes, Master!"
"boom!"
A terrifying aura, no less powerful than stardust, erupted, and Mu Qing's figure vanished instantly. The entire hall fell silent once more, everyone staring wide-eyed, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
"Another Chaos Ruler?!"
Xuanming God Lord remained silent.
Two Chaos Sovereigns have actually come to live in seclusion in his Xuanming City.
It really is……
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
Some of the Chaos Rulers are eccentric, and quite a few of them enjoy killing.
However, Xuanming City is under the command of the Black Scale Marquis.
I imagine the other party will give me some face.
It's not like they would actually take action against their city lord's mansion.
However, he was not sure, because based on the aura just now, he even felt that the Chaos Ruler who left later was even stronger than the Black Scale Marquis!
The onlookers turned ashen-faced. Just who was this Star Sage, a being who could command the Chaos Ruler as a servant?!
"The Heihe family is finished..."
Someone whispered.
The young man in brocade robes who was glared at to death by Xingchen was a direct descendant of the Heihe family, one of the three great families of Xuanming City.
The Heihe family, possessing seven eternal true gods, has been rampant in Xuanming City for many years. Unexpectedly, today they are about to be destroyed because of a spoiled brat!
