Soaring of Galaxia
chapter-622

Qin Wushuang realized that as there was only bloodstain along their way and no corpses, the dead must have been buried by the survivors.

Indeed, upon his questioning, Tong Yan verified his assumption.

Although Tong Yan and Xi Men Xing were not as nervous as they were in the beginning, they still answered each of Qin Wushuang's questions back and forth. The atmosphere more or less appeared somewhat oppressive.

"By the way, Brother Tong, are our old friends of the Bai Yue Country alright now?"

Tong Yan gave a long sigh. "Those of the He family are no longer part of this world. As a result of this disaster Wan Jinpeng is also dead. Brother Xi Men and have had tough luck. We were just training inside the mountains so we went unnoticed. My sister had been taken by your sister and was already at the Endless Eastern Sea."

"Endless Eastern Sea?" Mu Rong Xu was slightly surprised.

Qin Wushuang nodded. This was the fortunate part of all our misfortunes. Including the higher-ups of the Stargaze Palace, the Core disciples and his family had all entered the Endless Eastern Sea. If this weren't the case, they would have all been consigned to eternal damnation.

Just when they were in the middle of conversation, three continuous whistles cut through the air from outside. The expressions from Tong Yan and Xi Men Xing changed drastically. "Again?"

Qin Wushuang was stunned. "Who?"

"Besides those bastards of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, who else could it be?" Tong Yan's question made him fume with rage and grit his teeth.

"Dragon and Tiger Sect?" Qin Wushuang had almost forgotten about their existence. Initially, the Dragon and Tiger Sect ranked on equal terms as the three major heads within the Stargaze Palace and the Archaic Sect.

After the destruction of the Archaic Sect, the Dragon Sect and Tiger Sect were intimidated and acknowledged allegiance to the Stargaze Palace. They had accepted the Eastern Alliance and admitted the Stargaze Palace's position as the eastern overlord.

Could it be that the Dragon and Tiger Sect were daring to cause trouble? Or in other words, they were hitting a person who was already down. When they saw that the Stargaze Palace was met with misfortune, they wished to seize the chance and wrest control of the position as the eastern overlord.

"Wushuang, you have come back at the right time. In the most recent years, the Dragon and Tiger Sect have been sending elite warriors time and time again asking the Stargaze Palace to hand over the three spiritual keys to the Endless Eastern Sea. They've also killed a few of the Stargaze disciples."

"Killed people?" Qin Wushuang's expression appeared indefinite. "Could it be that the Dragon and Tiger Sect have never heard about the phrase of how a lean camel is bigger than a horse? Even if the Stargaze Palace is having a temporary crisis, could it be that they think they can hammer us to death with one hammer?"

"Wushuang, you don't know of the wide rumor in the human countries of how you were already killed by the powerful powerhouse from the Xuan Yuan Mound. They are saying how the higher-ups of the Stargaze Palace have already abandoned the Stargaze Palace and escaped. Now, everyone in the human countries feels that the Stargaze Palace is finished. They are preparing to expropriate Great Luo Empire's position as the Upper Ranking Empire."

When Tong Yan revealed this, his tone was filled with humiliation. "Even the subordinate countries of the Great Luo Empire begin to be restless. Without the intimidation from the Stargaze Palace, they have all planned to default to the Dragon and Tiger Sect."

Xi Men Xing said while feeling aggrieved, "They are truly people without a mind of their own. In the moment of a crisis, they don't think about exerting efforts for their own country. They only resort to surrendering."

Qin Wushuang did not find it strange. If the Stargaze Palace had truly fall down, the Great Luo Empire was doomed to have no future. Certainly the sects would grasp the entire eastern state.

It was because, among the three original sects of the Middle Ranking Great Empire, the Archaic Sect had already been destroyed while the Stargaze Palace had suffered heavy losses. Since their mountain gate was destroyed, in the eyes of the outsiders, it was the same as destruction.

As a result, only the Dragon and Tiger Sect could shoulder the great responsibility of governing the eastern state of affairs.

"Let's go, let's go out and look."

Qin Wushuang would rather want to see how much the Dragon and Tiger Sect had matured. They dare to throw stones at someone who was already down and publicly massacre disciples of the Stargaze Palace?

Although Xi Men Xing and Tong Yan were not aware of Qin Wushuang's current power, they knew that in the human countries he must be invincible. How could he have dealt with those super elite warriors of the Xuan Yuan Mound if this were not the case?

Upon seeing Qin Wushuang's return, they could not but help feel some hope from their initially, somewhat despaired hearts. At least, they would no longer suffer from the Dragon and Tiger Sect or be worried of their invasion.

The current Stargaze Palace could not bear another impact.

Besides Tong Yan and Xi Men Xing, the other eight Stargaze disciples who were hiding in the dark corner had already rushed before the mountain gate.

Qin Wushuang took Tong Yan and Xi Men Xing to walk out from the rear.

When they arrived before the mountain gate, a group of martial artists from the Dragon and Tiger Sect were gesticulating while talking with an overbearing manner. The leader among them was the Second Tiger Honored Warrior of the Tiger Sect.

The strength of this person was still at the Advanced Spiritual Martial Force. Compared to a few years ago, he did not achieve any breakthroughs. On the contrary, Wei Shenglong and Huang Qinghu, the two core disciples next to him had undergone rapid progression. They had also entered the Advanced Spiritual Martial Force. Such rapid progress made Qin Wushuang feel somewhat surprised.

Although this Wei Shenglong and Huang Qinghu were the two strongest disciples at the Dragon and Tiger Sect, the fact that they entered the Advanced Spiritual Martial Force in a few short years was still shocking to hear in the human countries.

For your information, when Qin Wushuang had entered the Stargaze Palace, the five Palace Masters were only at the Advanced Spiritual Martial Force.

Therefore, Qin Wushuang was sure that this Wei Shenglong and Huang Qinghu had acquired some fortuitous opportunities, or else they would never have achieved such powerful upgrades.

The Second Tiger Honored Warrior shot a cold glance at the remaining Stargaze disciples and sneered, "Just with you useless people, what is the meaning of blocking here?"

A disciple that had previously been uncovered by Qin Wushuang from the dark corner said loudly, "Tiger Honored Warrior Xia, at least be a warrior of honour from the Dragon and Tiger Sect. Could it be you are going to neglect the relationship between the Stargaze Palace and the Dragon and Tiger Sect to take advantage of our difficult times. Are you not afraid of our five Palace Masters coming back to settle this debt with you all?"

That Second Tiger Honored Warrior howled with laughter. "Coming back? I just want to ask you guys, Zhuo Buqun, the head of the five Palace Master, where did he cowardly run off to? Come back… in your dreams! They can never come back! Upon offending the major powerhouse of the Forbidden Spiritual Zone, your Stargaze Palace is destined to suffer destruction, just like when you guys destroyed the Archaic Mysterious Sect."

The disciple said with fuming rage, "Xia, don't be such a savage. Since you've mentioned the Archaic Mysterious sect, you better weigh in hand who was actually the one that destroyed it. Since Senior Brother Qin was able to destroy the Archaic Mysterious Sect, it would be a matter of turning his palm to destroy the Dragon and Tiger Sect!"

"Qin Wushuang? Ha ha, Qin Wushuang?" The Tiger Honored Warrior Xia laughed even more recklessly. "Qin Wushuang is being chased by the powerhouses of the Forbidden Spiritual Zone from all directions. I am afraid not even his body is left now. Don't tell me you still hoped for him to return to redirect the order of the Stargaze Palace?"

The Dragon and Tiger Sect had also schemed. In fact, it was extremely easy for the super powerful powerhouse of the Forbidden Spiritual Zone to destroy the Stargaze Palace.

Although Qin Wushuang was devilish and invincible at the human countries, he would be nothing at the Xuan Yuan Mound. Since he had offended the super powerhouse, the other party could kill him tens or hundreds of times by just moving their finger.

Therefore, this time the Dragon and Tiger Sect were secure in their knowledge that they would be backed up. They had endured silently for they were also waiting for the reaction from the Stargaze Palace.

When they saw the higher officials of the Stargaze Palace had not shown themselves in the end and with no news from Qin Wushuang, they thought that most likely those people had already been killed by people of the Forbidden Spiritual Zone. Qin Wushuang would have also gotten killed by them early on.

Therefore, in the recent months, the Dragon and Tiger Sect had become even more active. They had sent their own disciples to provoke several times and killed the remaining disciples of the Stargaze Palace. In fact, they were testing the waters.

If the Stargaze Palace still had trump cards, it would be impossible for them to sit and do nothing to watch their disciples get killed. After a few tests, since the Stargaze Palace showed no reactions, this helped foster the growth of their overweening attitude. It confirmed their belief that the Stargaze Palace could not stir anything else.

Therefore, this time the Tiger Honored Warriors Xia had personally set out to come to the Stargaze Palace with the two most outstanding core disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Sect and a group of his own disciples. Initially, he planned to exterminate all the remaining people of the Stargaze Palace, then he would destroy the Stargaze Palace once and for all. Next, he would overthrow the Great Luo Empire and seize the power of the eastern part at hands. Finally, they would reform the eastern alliance and become the eastern overlord.

However, the most important matter among all was to seize the three spiritual keys of the Endless Eastern Sea.

In fact, those disciples of the Stargaze Palace knew that the five Palace Masters had gone to the Endless Eastern Sea, but they could not speak of this fact to the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Therefore, they could only be anxious.

Tiger Honored Warrior Xia's expression displayed coldness. "Listen well you lot, whoever knows the whereabouts of the spiritual keys of the Endless Eastern Sea, as long as you can provide a clue, you will be exempted from death. You can even come to the Dragon and Tiger Sect and become a member of the sect. If you still obstinately persist in moving things the wrong way and not report the things you know, don't blame me for being merciless."

As soon as he finished speaking these words, the disciples of the Stargaze Palace swore, "Xia, don't be so shameless. Although the Stargaze Palace is temporarily in dire straits, our bones are still tough. Threatening us? You better give up!"

"That's right, go ahead if you want to kill us! But don't forget, the evil deeds you do to the Stargaze Palace, one day we will repay you double the amount."

Tiger Honored Warrior Xia laughed grimly. He had snorted disdainfully at the so-called karma. He only believed in the current trend and believed that this was the chance for the Dragon and Tiger Sect to rise.

"Shenglong, Qinghu, these few useless ones are yours. Don't leave a single one alive, capture and execute," Tiger Honored Warrior Xia gave the order ruthlessly.

Without hesitation, Wei Shenglong and Huang Qinghu walked out of their ranks and charged at them as if a tiger was throwing itself at sheep.

The disciple of the Stargaze Palace shouted, "Everyone gather close, let's fight to death with them. Anyone we kill will count!"

Wei Shenglong and Huang Qinghu sneered evilly. Just these guys wished to fight to death with them?

Wei Shenglong waved his hand and slashed out a surge of blade lights. With a flash in the sky, it had instantly turned into a burst of cold lights as the flower rain shot down at the group of eight.

Huang Qinghu laughed heartily. "Senior Brother Wei, with your moves, I don't even need to participate."

Just as Wei Shenglong was about to reveal a proud smile and he moved the corner of his mouth, suddenly he frowned. Next, his expression went cold.

The most unexpected matter had happened. They only saw a burst of invisible power from the sky that seemed to grab the sky like a whirlpool forming to absorb all of the dispersed rays.

The whirlpool stirred and swallowed all of the blade lights. As if a stone had dropped into the ocean, it exhibited no more reaction.

"Who's there?" Wei Shenglong turned pale with fright. Such divine skills had completely surpassed his imagination!
