Chapter 441: Chapter 195: Lord of the Polar Night Star

Seeing the Commander of the Black Guard, Lu Hong noticed that the man was coughing up blood, and his injury not only hadn’t improved but appeared to have worsened.

"Holy King, lend a hand." Unable to stand by and watch, Lu Hong raised his hand and a soft Holy Light fell upon the man, helping to contain the Commander’s injuries.

"My lord, this is Baron Yitian," said the Commander, lifting his head with a face full of confusion. He confirmed repeatedly before speaking, "Baron, shouldn’t you be under the space seal at Longtan now? How come you are here?"

"I have broken the space seal formation, causing a breach in Longtan’s spatial seal. I am here in the Ophiuchus plane on a rescue mission."

"Lord of the Night Extreme Star?" the Commander guessed instantly, but then he added, "Your timing couldn’t be worse, my lord; the Lord of the Night Extreme Star has been secluded for several days, and he likely won’t leave his seclusion anytime soon."

"You just need to tell me where he is; I’ll figure out the rest on my own." Lu Hong had initially hoped for some assistance from the Black Guard of the Ophiuchus plane, but the base was almost taken out by a Third-Transition warrior, so he figured he shouldn’t rely on them for combat strength.

The Commander nodded, then took out a map and marked the location of the Dark God Temple, "This is where the Dark God Temple is located. Please be very cautious, my lord. The Dark God Temple strictly forbids outsiders from entering. In the past thousand years, only a handful of people have entered, and it is said that the temple is full of traps and dangers. A slight misstep could lead to death, and the perimeter is also heavily guarded by powerful beings. Forcing your way in would not be wise."

As he spoke, the Commander seemed to read Lu Hong’s mind and explained, "Do you think the Black Guard here in the Ophiuchus subdivision is weak?"

Caught with his thoughts exposed, Lu Hong offered an embarrassed smile, "Yes, I have heard that a single Third-Transition strongman almost wiped this place out. Is that true?"

The Commander sighed bitterly, "My Ophiuchus division of the Black Guard used to be the strongest among the forty-eight major planes nearby. Only, with the threat of the sea tribes looming overhead, Lord Questasa has forcefully conscripted the strongmen from various branches of the Black Guard. I was merely a squad leader. The senior officers were all conscripted, and I was temporarily assigned to take over as Commander."

"I see, no wonder," Lu Hong nodded and then took the map, "I have alleviated your injury, but you still need to seek out a professional dedicated to healing to clear the internal blood stasis and dissolve the foreign Magic Power lingering in your body. If left too long, it will cause permanent harm."

"Thank you for your concern, Baron," the Commander of the Black Guard bowed with his fists clasped, instructing his men to lead Lu Hong to the nearest portal to the Dark God Temple.

Though the Ophiuchus Black Guard, crippled by Wei Si Te, were short-handed, they were still willing to spare some manpower to assist Lu Hong in his dealings with the Dark God Temple.

Lu Hong, however, declined all offers of aid. The Dark God Temple was an organization that didn’t reason; it would kill for money without concern when dealing with non-official powers. And when dealing with official powers, it was even less reasonable—completely evasive, not providing any opportunity for interaction.

This was the impression Lina had given to Lu Hong. Based on this assessment, Lu Hong had no intention of engaging in normal conversation with this group of assassins.

Cain thought he wouldn’t get to see the Lord of the Night Extreme Star, the Black Guard thought he wouldn’t see him either, but Lu Hong was one hundred percent confident that he could wake the Lord of the Night Extreme Star from his seclusion.

The method? Quite simple—create enough astonishing destruction.

The situation in the Dragon Pool was urgent, justifying the need for extraordinary measures. If the Lord of the Night Extreme Star wanted to settle scores afterwards, Lu Hong had the backing of the empire; let the calculations fall on Konstantin.

Climbing to the top of a hill, Lu Hong’s gaze locked onto a vast lake before him.

According to the Commander’s mark, the Dark God Temple was situated on this great lake. Yet, all Lu Hong could see was the lake’s undisturbed surface, like a great mirror, without a single ripple.

The Dark God Temple must have used Illusion Magic to conceal the entire complex.

Now certain of his location, Lu Hong summoned the War Holy Sword. As the Skill charged up, it soon alerted sentries around the Dark God Temple.

"Who are you?!" they exclaimed.

Seeing the mounting force of the Holy Sword in Lu Hong’s hand, the Assassin’s expression changed, "Stop right there!"

With a raise of his hand, a black Magic Power transformed into three chains, slithering forth to ensnare Lu Hong.

Simultaneously, four more Assassins appeared, surrounding Lu Hong, ready to strike at any moment.

This attack wasn’t meant to kill, so the time Lu Hong invested in charging was very short.

"Slit!"

Accompanying a low shout, the sword light shredded the incoming chains, rushing toward the lake at the mountain’s foot.

Indeed, as if something existed on the empty lake surface, it blocked the path of the sword light.

With a loud blast, the Illusion Formation laid by the Dark God Temple was torn apart by one flash of extreme light, revealing a massive and towering dark castle.

The power of the flash that breached the Illusion Formation remained unabated, and the emergency defense Formation of the Dark God Temple was instantly activated.

A second explosion resounded through heaven and earth, and under the slightly changed expressions of the assassins, the defense Formation of the Dark God Temple shattered with a loud bang. Fortunately, the extreme flash had depleted its power, causing no substantial damage.

Even so, a group of assassins from the Dark God Temple looked at Lu Hong with unprecedented gravity on their faces.

This Formation was all too familiar to them; it would take at least seven days for a Third Transition late-stage powerhouse to breach this great Formation with constant day-after-day bombardment.

One sword light had damaged the Formation; the power of this skill was comparable to a strike of Third-Transition Peak!

"Who are you, sir, and why do you forcefully attack our Dark God Temple?"

Beneath the Star Sea, the strong were always respected, and the assassins of the Dark God Temple did not rashly attack, their faces full of wariness.

"I wish to see Lord Night Extreme Star, please pass on my message."

"It seems you’ve come specifically for sabotage, haven’t you?" The face of the Dark God Temple assassin darkened. The news of Night Extreme Star’s retreat had been leaked by a traitor long ago, and to avoid enemies coming to cause trouble, the Dark God Temple had immediately sealed off the news and hidden their lair. Lu Hong’s inexplicable assault was quickly labeled as a vengeance-seeking act.

The assassins gathering around were itching to move, just waiting for an order.

"I’m not here to cause trouble," Lu Hong hurriedly explained. "I need Lord Night Extreme Star’s help and have come specifically to seek assistance."

"Seeking assistance?" The assassins nearly thought they had heard wrong; isn’t seeking help supposed to be done humbly? When did it become so arrogant, starting with a show of strength?

"Absolutely true," Lu Hong sheathed the War Holy Sword, showing he would not act, and continued, "I know Lord Night Extreme Star is in retreat. Many told me it would be difficult to meet him when I came, so I thought of this method, hoping to disturb His Excellency."

Faced with Lu Hong’s explanation, the assassin sneered coldly, "Even so, you still won’t meet our lordly Star."

The assassins of the Dark God Temple were well aware that their boss was in a critical period and would not disrupt him, but they also understood why Lu Hong had acted this way.

"If you leave now, I can let bygones be bygones," the assassin pondered for a moment; although this man appeared to be only at Second-Transition Peak, the earlier strike was too stunning, reminding him of a baron who was now the talk of the empire.

"Without an audience with Lord Night Extreme Star, I will not leave." Lu Hong’s eyes swept around, as many people’s magic had begun to leak out and their skills were secretly activated.

"Then I’m sorry!" the lead assassin’s eyes chilled as he ordered, "Seize him! Don’t hurt him!" It seemed he had recognized Lu Hong’s identity and didn’t want to cause trouble for the Dark God Temple.

As the words fell, Lu Hong was just preparing to invoke "Heavenly God Descent", when in an instant, the world seemed to pause, and his thoughts experienced a momentary halt.

Not just him, the surrounding assassins felt the same, but they knew who had come.

As they recovered, the assassins knelt down one by one, bowing toward the sky: "We bow before Lord Star!"

Following their gazes, Lu Hong looked up and smiled, "Baron Yitian Tuolu greets Lord Star."

Above the sky, the aura of the disturbed Night Extreme Star had not yet settled, the azure sky stained by magic, and the dense black magic power weighing heavily on everyone.

"Baron Yitian..." Lord Night Extreme Star had obviously heard of Lu Hong as well, his grim expression slowly easing. Being disturbed during retreat was clearly an irritating matter.

"If you cannot provide me with a satisfactory answer for your rash disturbance, even if you are a baron of the empire, you must face my wrath," Lord Night Extreme Star spoke evenly, as although the Dark God Temple was unwilling to provoke officialdom, if they were bullied too much and still retreated, that would be a great loss of face.
