The Xue family was in a solemn mood.
The hall was neatly arranged, and all the clansmen were cleaned up. All of them had tense expressions as they received the special envoy of the Sword Pavilion.
“Lord Hong, must we collect the Starlight Grass Now?”Xue Yuntian frowned and asked.
The Special Envoy, Hong Lei, was quite young. He was less than 30 years old, but his strength was quite astonishing. He actually didn’t lose to Xue Yuntian.
Judging from the aura he emitted, he was actually higher than him.
Hong Lei leisurely leaned against the armchair. His expression was unfocused as he said, “Could it be that I’m here to accompany you in looking for the Starlight Grass?”
Xue Yuntian said, “But sir, there’s still a month before the deadline for the offering. Unfortunately, we just happened to have an accident and are currently looking for another hundred stalks of the starlight grass. I implore the special envoy to be lenient for a few more days. I will definitely offer them all up.”
Hong lei said calmly, “If your Xue family is a small force that is ranked at the bottom, this special envoy can still understand why you are still looking for the starlight grass. However, with such a huge foundation, it has been a whole year and the starlight grass has yet to be prepared. I have to say, your Xue family has never taken the matter of the starlight grass to heart!”
Xue Yuntian was secretly furious. The other party had taken the tribute in advance and instead blamed the Xue family for not preparing in advance? What kind of logic was this?
Unfortunately, his identity meant that Xue Yuntian could only lower his head and admit his mistake.
“Yes, yes. The special envoy taught us a lesson. Our Xue family had originally prepared half a year in advance, but because of an accident, the starlight grass was destroyed.”Xue Yuntian’s tone was sincere. “I mobilized my clansmen to search and sacrificed twenty-four elders. More than half of the power in the clan was lost. Only then did I receive the news a few days ago that we have finally gathered ninety-five stalks! “We are only short of five plants!”
“I implore you, special envoy, on account of the sacrifices our clansmen have made for the starlight grass, to pay the price in one month’s time before the deadline!”Xue Yuntian said.
Hong Lei snorted. “First, the destruction of your starlight grass shows that you really don’t care about the starlight grass and don’t take the sword pavilion seriously at all! “Second, the death of your clansmen is your own matter. Why should this special envoy sympathize with you?”
“Xue Yuntian, hand over the starlight grass now. If you can’t gather all of it, I’m sorry, but I can only report to the higher-ups. Your Xue family has yet to gather all of it!”Hong Lei stood up and said.
Xue Yuntian clenched his fists tightly!
It was all the fault of the Li Family!
The Xue family had caused a huge commotion recently, so there was no reason for the Li family not to know.
After learning that the Xue family had lost all of their starlight grass, Li Qiankun was overjoyed. He only knew that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he invited the special envoy of the Sword Pavilion to hand over the starlight grass.
What was even more amazing was that the special envoy of the Hong family had already taken a liking to Li Yue of the Li clan.
And Li Qiankun also had the intention to betroth Li Yue to Hong Lei.
As such, Hong Lei took the opportunity to make trouble and expel the Xue clan. It couldn’t be any easier.
Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu —
At this moment, senior green leaf and the others, who had been on the road for three days and three nights, rushed back under the orders of Su Yu.
“Clan leader, we’re back.”Senior Qing ye glanced at Hong Lei and bowed respectfully. Then, he handed all the starlight grass he had taken over to the clan leader.
There were a total of 85 starlight grass, all of which were stained with the blood and life of the Xue Clan.
Xue Yuntian took it, his palm heavy. He came to Hong Lei’s side and said, “Special Envoy, we’re only short of five. Please forgive us for another half a month, just half a month! I’ll go out personally to look for the starlight grass, how about it?”
He secretly stuffed an interspatial ring with the Xue family’s belongings inside.
“Hehe, bribery? Xue Yuntian, who do you think this special envoy is?”Hong Lei pushed his arm and shook Xue Yuntian away.
The starlight grass on the ground fell to the ground, emitting a lonely glimmer.
Xue Yuntian’s heart was filled with blood. Those were all exchanged with blood by his clansmen!
“Humph! Xue Yuntian, you have one month to leave Twin Star Island. Otherwise, don’t blame Jian Xuan for being merciless and using his iron-blooded methods!”Hong Lei said coldly and left.
The remaining members of the Xue family were all filled with grief and indignation.
“They are going too far! !”Qing ye Chang Zun’s chest surged. It was clear that it wasn’t even one month yet and he had already forcefully ordered them to move!
Xue Yuntian’s eyes revealed grief. “When I’m weak, I won’t bully you. When Will I bully you? Pass down my orders. Pack up your things and leave Twin Star Island within three days!”
If he wanted to leave, then leave. Dragging it out would only give the Li family a chance to exterminate.
“Patriarch!”Everyone cried bitterly.
Senior Qing ye was even more tearful, “What about Xue Yu? He’s still searching for the starlight grass in the sea, he hasn’t given up yet!”
Xue Yuntian said, “There’s no need to inform him, our Xue family already owes him a lot, don’t implicate him anymore.”
Unexpectedly, there was actually no objection from the clansmen.
Xue Mei smiled bitterly and said, “That’s fine too. This sunken ship of the Xue Clan, we’ll jump as many as we can.”
Sea of constellations.
Pop —
Su Yu picked up another stalk of starlight grass from a dangerous land.
“Five stalks, all of them!”Su Yu leaped out of the water with a look of joy on his face. “I’ve finally found five stalks of starlight grass within five days.”
He let out a long sigh, looked in the direction of Twin Stars Island, and immediately left.
“Young man, please wait.”A warm and clear voice entered his ears.
Su Yu was shocked. There was actually someone nearby, but he did not notice it?
He turned his head and looked. It was a middle-aged man riding a red wine gourd. He smiled and looked at Su Yu.
Su Yu was vigilant and said, “Senior, what’s the matter?”
The middle-aged man jumped down from the wine gourd and stepped on the surface of the water, he said, “I’ve observed you for a few days and found that the Divine Dao you cultivate is quite interesting. It’s very easy to find the starlight grass. In just ten days, you’ve found five stalks. With such a great talent, have you thought of coming to the Sword Pavilion to develop?”
Several days of observation? Su Yu was secretly shocked. This person’s cultivation was extremely high. For many days, he had never noticed that someone was secretly spying on him.
However, what Su Yu was even more surprised about was his identity. Jian Xuan? Su Yu stared at him. “You Are…”
“Special envoy of Jian Xuan, Tian Zhenyuan,”the middle-aged man said with a smile. He did not put on any airs as a member of Jian Xuan.
Su Yu was surprised. “Special Envoy of Jian Xuan? You are the special envoy who came to Twin Stars Island to collect the Starlight Grass?”
Tian Zhenyuan nodded. “How did you know?”
A hint of confusion appeared on Su Yu’s face. “As far as I know, the real special envoy of Jian Xuan has already arrived at Twin Stars Island. Who Are You?”
Tian zhenyuan laughed out loud, “Special Envoy of the Sword Pavilion has always worked in pairs. One carries out the mission, and the other inspects it. Why? Are You Satisfied?”
He took out a stone tablet condensed from sword Qi, and the words ‘Tian Zhenyuan’were engraved on it.
This was the unique identity verification of the sword pavilion. The other factions were unable to do so, and did not dare to imitate it.
“So it’s senior special envoy, Junior, the young master of the Xue family of Twin Stars Island, Xue Yu,”Su Yu said.
Tian Zhenyuan was surprised, “Oh? The young master of the Xue family of the Twin Stars Island? I don’t remember it being called… I think it’s called Xue Lei?”
Su Yu said, “I’m ranked second, it’s the second young master.”
Tian zhenyuan suddenly understood, “No wonder! Speaking of which, your talent isn’t much weaker than your big brother’s. You haven’t become a world paragon of the cave abode yet, but your condensing of the Supreme Dao has reached the limit of the mortal immortal realm. You’re Only a thought away from breaking through, right?”
Su Yu was modest, “Before I take that step, I dare not be complacent.”
“Hehe, pride is damaged, but modesty is rewarded. I didn’t expect the Xue family to have a decent descendant.”Tian Zhenyuan said, “How about it? Are you willing to come back to the sword pavilion with me to develop?”? Your search for the Supreme Dao is very special. Other than those heaven and earth elves, there are already innate ones, and very few people can cultivate to obtain it. If you join the Sword Pavilion, I’ll recommend you more grandly and guarantee you an important position.”
Su Yu did not reject immediately. He said, “This matter is of great importance. I would like to ask my father for permission.”
Tian zhenyuan smiled and said, “Wonderful!”! For an ordinary person to obtain such a great opportunity, who would not be ecstatic? Who would not want to agree on the spot? You still remembered to ask my father for permission. Your filial piety is commendable! “Alright, let’s go to Twin Star Island. I believe that Xue Yuntian will definitely agree.”
How could he not agree? Entering the Sword Pavilion was an unimaginable opportunity for the Xue family. It was enough for them to glorify their ancestors.
Normally, they would not even be able to beg for it, let alone take the initiative to drop a piece of pie?
With Tian Zhenyuan’s help, the three-day journey was completed in just one day.
However, when they returned to the Xue Mansion, Su Yu was stunned.
The huge Xue mansion was completely empty. Along with the servants and maidservants, they all seemed to have disappeared from the face of the Earth.
Only a group of homeless beggars were left in the manor, plundering the remnants of their belongings as if they were partying.
Tian Zhenyuan was stunned. “This… This is the Xue family, right? I’ve been here before, so I shouldn’t have remembered the location wrongly. Where are they?”
Su Yu’s face sank, and a deep killing intent was released without any concealment. “The Li Family! ! !”
Tian Zhenyuan was startled. For some reason, it was clearly the killing intent released by a mere mortal immortal fourth level youth, but Tian Zhenyuan felt as if he was facing a god of slaughter.
That killing intent could not be condensed unless he had experienced hundreds of millions of killings.
“What’s wrong with this kid?”Tian Zhenyuan was secretly surprised. He said, “Don’t be impatient. Let Me ask my companions First!”
After saying that, his eyes swept across and landed in the direction of the Li residence.
“Over there. Let’s go.”
Li residence.
Li Qiankun was in an extremely good mood. His face was ruddy as he said cheerfully, “The knot in my heart has been lifted in one day! I should really thank Xue Lei. Without him destroying the starlight grass, how could the Xue family have fallen into such a situation?”
Li Jun sneered and said, “Indeed, I didn’t expect them to show off in front of our Li family and make us lose face. It has only been a few months, but we have fallen into such a situation!”
“Patriarch, Our Li family can finally monopolize the Double Star Island!”The elders of the Li family were also very happy.
Li Qiankun also felt happy and sighed, “The only regret is that Xue Yuntian, that Old Fox, ran away too fast and didn’t have time to shave off two or three pieces of meat from him!”
Everyone was extremely happy.
Hong Lei and Li Yue walked back.
Li Yue’s expression was cold as she deliberately kept a distance from Hong Lei.
Hong Lei’s face was full of smiles.
“Special Envoy Hong, why don’t you let Yue’er accompany you more? The scenery on Twin Star Island is unique, and there are a few other good places.”Li Qiankun immediately stood up and said obsequiously.
Hong Lei waved his hand. “It’s fine as long as you’re having fun. Besides, Yue’er is tired. Isn’t It Me Who’s feeling the heartache?”
The Li family members revealed teasing smiles and burst into laughter.
Li Yuexiu furrowed her brows, feeling disgusted.
Her goal was also to destroy the Xue family. However, she felt guilty for using such despicable methods.
She did not have a good impression of Hong Lei’s “Help.”.
“I see. Then, envoy Hong, why don’t you take a break and play some other day?”
Hong Lei waved his hand. “Forget it. It’s about time my companion comes too. This time, we’ll stop here. When sister Yue’er comes of age, I’ll give her a betrothal gift and marry her.”
“Okay, okay!”Li Qiankun was overjoyed. To be able to marry his daughter to someone from the sword pavilion meant that the Li family’s foundation on Twin Stars Island was completely stable.
Shua —
The sound of the sound barrier being broken could be heard.
“Hong Lei, come over. I have something to ask you.”
Hong Lei said, “Speak of the Devil.”
He looked at Li Yue with infatuation and said, “Sister Yue’er, we’ll meet again in the future.”
