Chapter 648: Send Her to the West (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Inside the Sumeru Palace Small World.

The entire domain was filled with mourning clothes.

The Sumeru Palace, which was the holy land within the Small World, was even more filled with spirit banners, and the eyes were filled with solemn white.

But at this moment, there wasn't a single sound of crying; there was only suppressed anger and that terrifying Ninth-Tier pressure.

The Vice Palace Master of the Sumeru Palace, Zhang Fei, was pale, blood still remaining at the corners of his mouth, lying on the ground, glaring at the Heavenly Yang Star Lord in a red robe.

The Young Palace Master of the Sumeru Palace, Luo Haoyue, had tear stains not yet dry on the corners of her eyes, glaring at Heavenly Yang Star Lord.

"Heavenly Yang Star Lord, my father died saving you, and now his bones haven't been found yet, yet you come to the door to forcibly seize the inheritance. What kind of logic is this? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the people of the world?" Haoyue was dressed in white stained with dust, pressed by Heavenly Yang Star Lord's terrifying pressure and unable to stand up, but she raised her chin, her silver teeth biting until they broke, and she was unwilling to yield.

Heavenly Yang Star Lord sighed. "Haoyue niece, why don't you believe it? At the moment of Luo brother's death, he did have last words to entrust to me. To prevent the Sumeru Palace from breaking its inheritance, and to prevent the Sumeru Palace's inheritance from falling into the hands of villains.

He asked me to guard the Sumeru Palace for sixty years, until the next Palace Master of the Sumeru Palace breaks through to the Ninth Tier.

Look, I have the token given by Luo brother, why don't you believe it!"

"Heavenly Yang Star Lord, stop lying! Even if my father asked you to guard the Sumeru Palace, it's impossible for him to ask me to hand over the Sumeru Palace inheritance to you," Haoyue said angrily.

"Sigh!"

Heavenly Yang Star Lord sighed again. "Luo brother's token is here. If you don't believe it, then I have no way.

But I, Heavenly Yang Star Lord, value promises the most in my life; one promise is worth ten thousand gold.

I promised Luo brother's dying wish to guard the Sumeru Palace and guard the Sumeru Palace inheritance for sixty years.

I must do it.

If you still want to block me, even if you are Luo brother's daughter, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Ridiculous! The first thing you do to guard the Sumeru Palace for my father is to behead his only daughter? If this spreads out, aren't you afraid of the world laughing their teeth off!" Haoyue sneered.

"Haoyue niece, you are wrong about this!

You are Luo brother's only bloodline, how could I kill you!

But in order to complete Luo brother's dying wish, I will take you to my cultivation treasure land to cultivate bitterly, watching you cultivate day and night for sixty years.

Of course, within these sixty years, if you can break through to the Ninth Tier, you can leave early to take charge of the Sumeru Palace," Heavenly Yang Star Lord said.

Haoyue was even angrier upon hearing this and was about to scold again, but was gently pulled by the sleeve by the heavily injured Vice Palace Master Zhang Fei. After a sentence of sound transmission, the look of horror flashed in Haoyue Fairy's eyes.

"Star Lord, don't be angry! The Palace Master rescued the Star Lord, and the Star Lord came to guard the Sumeru Palace; this is a good story. Haoyue niece doesn't understand things, please don't blame her, Star Lord," Zhang Fei said roundly.

"Hehe, this is the duty of a friend. Luo brother died saving me, his dying wish, I must execute thoroughly."

"There is such a duty in the world..."

Haoyue scolded, but was stopped by Zhang Fei with his eyes.

Subsequently, Vice Palace Master Zhang Fei struggled to stand up and looked at the disciples of the Sumeru Palace, his eyes miserable.

This time the Sumeru Palace came out of the mountains, and the losses were heavy.

Seven personal disciples, except for Zong Yan who stayed behind, all others had died in battle successively before, and three Eighth-Tier elders also died in battle in the process of rescuing the Sumeru Palace Master.

Originally there was one more, but he died strangely on the way back.

The entire Sumeru Palace currently only had him, an Eighth-Tier late-stage, and the Eighth-Tier early-stage second disciple Zong Yan, as well as over ten Seventh-Tier disciples. Young Palace Master Haoyue was only at the Sixth Tier and couldn't support the Sumeru Palace.

According to the arrangement given to him by the Sumeru Palace Master before he died, next, the Sumeru Palace Small World would be closed, and they would develop and cultivate in peace, so they wouldn't be afraid of the inheritance being cut off.

Haoyue had astonishing talent, and after the Eighth Tier, she would also be among the top in the current world, definitely able to support the Sumeru Palace in the future.

He also brought the disciples back according to the urgent message sent by the Sumeru Palace Master before he died, and then closed the Sumeru Palace to prepare for the funeral.

Didn't expect Heavenly Yang Star Lord, this Ninth-Tier expert, to break in without any obstruction.

The entire Sumeru Small World had closed the star gate. Normally, even a Ninth-Tier expert would need to spend a lot of effort to break in hard.

They could also have some preparation.

The Sumeru Palace was the base camp and the place of inheritance.

Didn't expect that at the time of the funeral, Heavenly Yang Star Lord, this Ninth-Tier expert, would break in without any obstruction.

Caught them off guard.

As for what dying wish?

Only ghosts would believe it!

When the Palace Master died, it was a critical moment; he didn't even have time to entrust his own daughter, only giving a dying order to him, this Vice Palace Master.

Where was there a share for Heavenly Yang Star Lord.

But now the situation was stronger than people, so even if they didn't believe it, they had to believe it.

"All disciples, follow me to thank Heavenly Yang Star Lord for his righteousness!" With a long sigh, Vice Palace Master Zhang Fei took the disciples, pulled Haoyue, and knelt down to kowtow to thank Heavenly Yang Star Lord in front of everyone.

Haoyue, who was forced to kowtow, had her silver teeth almost bitten until they broke, her mouth full of blood.

Heavenly Yang Star Lord narrowed his eyes, looking at all this, and nodded with satisfaction; this name was considered set.

Even if this matter was stirred up in the future, it wouldn't be a big deal.

He only wanted a little face; as for some filth, he wasn't afraid at all.

As long as he was strong enough, by then, there would naturally be people to help him argue and rectify his name.

"May I ask Star Lord, in the dying order arranged by the Palace Master, how did he ask the Star Lord to take care of our Sumeru Palace?" Vice Palace Master Zhang Fei knelt straight there and asked directly in front of everyone.

This was the most critical point.

"First, to prevent the Sumeru Palace inheritance from being lost, the relevant inheritance of your Sumeru Palace must be handed over to me for supervision and safekeeping."

"No problem, Young Palace Master will be very happy to hand over the inheritance to the Star Lord for safekeeping," Zhang Fei said.

"Very good. Second, hand over half of the Sumeru Palace Small World authority, and I will keep it for you. After sixty years, it will be returned."

"Please know, Star Lord, when the Palace Master left, he only left five percent of the Heaven and Earth authority to the Young Palace Master," Zhang Fei said. "The three percent of Heaven and Earth authority the Palace Master took away himself is currently missing."

"Then hand over three percent, you keep two percent, and I will keep it for you for sixty years," Heavenly Yang Star Lord said.

Haoyue had already understood Vice Palace Master Zhang Fei's intention, and although angry, she didn't scold again.

She knew scolding was useless.

"Young Palace Master will definitely hand it over."

"Third, the control of the Sumeru Palace Small World's cultivation inheritance secret realm, the Sumeru Cave Heaven, must be transferred to me for safekeeping. If anyone needs to comprehend it, they must apply to me."

"This is also as it should be," Zhang Fei agreed again.

"Very good. Fourth, according to Luo brother's entrustment, I will cultivate his daughter Haoyue well until her cultivation reaches the Ninth Tier. From today on, Haoyue will move to the Haoyue Palace newly built in my Heavenly Yang Star Palace Small World to cultivate bitterly, and can leave after sixty years or after reaching the Ninth Tier," Heavenly Yang Star Lord said again.

As soon as this was said, Princess Luo Haoyue, who was forced to kneel, opened her eyes wide and glared at Heavenly Yang Star Lord, this old thief. This wasn't bitter cultivation at all; it was clearly wanting to take her over and imprison her for sixty years.

As for sixty years later, it was estimated that the Sumeru Palace would be almost dead, and whether she was dead or alive, no one would care!

This wasn't protection!

This was extermination!

Vice Palace Master Zhang Fei, who had been observing Princess Haoyue, had long expected this and controlled Princess Haoyue with star power at the first opportunity, while kowtowing: "Haoyue grew up in the Sumeru Palace since she was a child and rarely left the outside world. Now that the Palace Master has just passed away, Haoyue Young Palace Master not only cannot bear to leave her homeland, but also needs to take charge of the relevant affairs of the Sumeru Palace.

Please have mercy, Star Lord.

Allow Haoyue Young Palace Master to cultivate bitterly in the Sumeru Palace until she reaches the Ninth Tier.

If she wants to go out normally, she will definitely ask for instructions from the Star Lord."

Heavenly Yang Star Lord frowned, not very satisfied.

Zhang Fei added, "The Palace Master has just passed away, and currently only Haoyue Young Palace Master can pass on the various methods in the palace. If she leaves, I am afraid our Sumeru Palace will exist in name only, and the previous conditions will not be achieved. Please have mercy, Star Lord." 【

Tianyang Xingjun frowned again; he had heard the subtext.

Keeping the Young Palace Master in the Sumeru Small World was the bottom line for Deputy Palace Master Zhang Fei.

After pondering for a few breaths, Tianyang Xingjun decisively agreed; he would get the inheritance first and worry about the rest later.

Once the inheritance was in hand, he could cultivate in seclusion for a period to greatly advance his strength, especially his spatial star arts, which were elusive and unpredictable; by then, he would no longer be constrained by Xu Jin.

He would agree for now, and once the items were in his possession, everyone in the Sumeru Palace would be like fish on a chopping block; how to deal with them would depend entirely on his whim.

"That is acceptable, but the authority over the Star-Plucking Tower of your Sumeru Palace must be handed over to me."

"Very well." Zhang Fei agreed immediately; this was Tianyang Xingjun wanting to control their contact with the outside world.

"Then, let it be so; let the transfer happen now."

Just as Tianyang Xingjun's voice fell, Zong Yan, an Eighth-Tier Third-Layer expert who was also kneeling to the side, grew anxious and hurriedly feigned a cough while shifting his body.

This cough caught Tianyang Xingjun's attention.

Tianyang Xingjun pondered for a few breaths; keeping Zong Yan, the mole, was still useful. When he was away, Zong Yan could watch the Sumeru Palace for him.

"By the way, it was Brother Luo's dying wish that his daughter, Haoyue, and his second disciple, Zong Yan, be joined in marriage to jointly govern the Sumeru Palace in the future," Tianyang Xingjun added.

As soon as these words were spoken, Haoyue's beautiful eyes widened instantly, glaring at Zong Yan, and Deputy Palace Master Zhang Fei also cast a glance at Zong Yan.

In an instant, everything became clear.

No wonder Tianyang Xingjun could enter silently even with the star gate sealed.

It turned out there was an inside man facilitating it.

Naturally, Haoyue would not agree to this matter.

But Deputy Palace Master Zhang Fei spoke up, "Since it is the Palace Master's dying wish, it must be carried out. At that time, we must request that Your Highness preside over the wedding ceremony!

However, the Palace Master has just passed away; as a child, she must observe mourning for at least three years. This is a matter of human ethics and ritual. The wedding must be postponed for three years; I ask for the Star Lord's permission."

"Matters of human ethics, that is naturally acceptable."

Tianyang Xingjun did not care much about this; his only focus now was to obtain the Sumeru Palace's inheritance.

He was extremely covetous of Xu Jin's method of combining spatial star arts with thunder-type star arts.

He felt that as long as he mastered spatial star arts, he could become like Xu Jin.

"Very well, but before that, I ask that Your Highness swear an oath by the Great Dao, as previously agreed, to protect our Sumeru Palace for sixty years, to not allow anyone to harm Young Palace Master Haoyue, and to guarantee that Palace Master Haoyue remains stationed in the Sumeru Palace, as well as her authority to govern the Sumeru Palace and her freedom within the Sumeru Small World." Zhang Fei finally set his conditions.

Tianyang Xingjun's expression turned cold, his gaze staring coldly at Zhang Fei, and after a long while, he said, "What if I do not swear this Great Dao oath?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Palace Master Zhang Fei stood tall, looked back at the towering and magnificent Sumeru Palace behind him, and slowly reached out to place his palm on the head of the Sumeru Palace's Young Palace Master, Haoyue. Looking at Princess Haoyue's face, he was filled with doting love.

"When the Palace Master was alive, he loved our little Princess Haoyue the most; he gave her whatever she wanted and could not bear for her to suffer even the slightest bit. I watched her grow up, and naturally, I do not wish for her to suffer in the future."

As he spoke, silver spatial star power radiated from his palm, enveloping Princess Haoyue's entire body. "If suffering is inevitable in the future, then it would be better to send her to the afterlife today to follow the Palace Master; that would be clean!"

"You dare!" Tianyang Xingjun's expression changed drastically, but Princess Haoyue was already enveloped by spatial star power, and it was too late; he dared not act rashly.

"Star Lord, in the entire Sumeru Palace, the only person who can freely teach the Sumeru Palace's inheritance and open the Sumeru Space Secret Realm is little Princess Haoyue. You should consider this."

After finishing, Zhang Fei ignored Tianyang Xingjun, spatial star power surging around his body, his divine sense surging wildly in alert. When he turned to look at Princess Haoyue, two lines of turbid tears were already flowing down his eyes.

"Haoyue, don't blame your Uncle Zhang! I will send you to find your father in a moment; it won't hurt at all, it won't hurt one bit," Zhang Fei said with a trembling voice.

Under the crisis of life and death, Haoyue's delicate body could not stop trembling, but she understood Zhang Fei's meaning; this desperate situation was her only chance of survival.

To place oneself in a position of death to find life.

But Zhang Fei was not joking.

It was that if Tianyang Xingjun made any unusual move, he would truly kill her immediately!

This was the cruelest game of life and death.

It was not a psychological game.

How could an old fox like Tianyang Xingjun be scared off!

Only by being real could one exchange for a tiny possibility of survival.

The trembling Princess Haoyue bit her lip, blood spilling from between her lips, but she nodded firmly, nodding her head.

"Uncle Zhang, I don't blame... you, and I'm not afraid!

You strike, I... I won't feel pain!"

Tianyang Xingjun's expression became incomparably gloomy in an instant.

Zhang Fei was at the late Eighth Tier but was proficient in spatial star arts and had already set up defenses.

If he struck with all his might, he could take down Zhang Fei in two moves at the fastest, or three to four moves at the slowest.

But for Zhang Fei to kill Haoyue, it would only take an instant.

The next moment, Tianyang Xingjun looked at Zong Yan, the mole he had developed, and directly sent a sound transmission to ask about the truth of what Zhang Fei had said.

【It is true! Old Man Zhang is telling the truth. Although I have learned the Void Source and Void Image, I am under a divine soul seal; without the Palace Master's permission, I cannot teach it to anyone. That Sumeru Secret Realm should also be under Haoyue's control.】 Zong Yan gave a definitive answer.

【Trash!】 Tianyang Xingjun cursed angrily via sound transmission.

"Haoyue, rest assured, if you die, so many of us in the palace will accompany you; you won't be lonely on the road." After comforting Haoyue, Zhang Fei turned to look at Tianyang Xingjun. "Star Lord, our lives are all in your hands.

If you swear the Great Dao oath, we live.

If you do not, I will send Haoyue on her way first, and then lead everyone to die." Zhang Fei's face was full of determination to die, yet he spoke with incomparable calmness.

After a long while, Tianyang Xingjun finally yielded.

"Fine, I will swear the Great Dao oath."

As long as he obtained the Sumeru Palace's inheritance, leaving these people in the small world wouldn't cause any waves.
