Chapter 1615: Chapter 1612: Strong Ones from Various Sects!

Inside the East City of Starry Sky City, there are roughly a hundred small courtyards, all built with exceptional elegance. Although tiny, they have everything one could need—artificial mountains, water features, and epiphyllum scale, everything is available.

Lin Bai and the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Fairy Cave Mountain each chose a courtyard. After entering, Lin Bai looked around and found the place quite satisfactory. It should be no problem to temporarily settle down here.

Lin Bai tidied up the courtyard briefly, sat down cross-legged in the room, and chuckled softly, "Interesting. I didn’t expect to meet so many old friends upon coming to Starry Sky City."

"To think that Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu have actually become the Saint and Saintess of Donglan Sword Sect."

"However, I can’t go meet them now. If I reveal that I know them, it might lead others to suspect my origins from Lingdong in the future!"

"Well, I can only wait until I enter the Stars Secret Realm, then see if I can encounter them!"

A smile crossed Lin Bai’s lips, but soon, his smile gradually turned icy cold as he spoke lightly, "Yejian Jun has also arrived in Starry Sky City and is probably in one of these courtyards in the East City."

"It is time to settle accounts with Yejian Jun."

A cold glint appeared in Lin Bai’s gaze, and a chill began to emanate from him.

"Chen Jin once said that the Stars Secret Realm opening is still half a month away."

"The ancient books record that when the Stars Secret Realm opens, a river of stars will fall from above Starry Sky City, merging into the city and forming the Star River Ancient Path. Any Warrior within Starry Sky City can step on the Star River Ancient Path to enter the Stars Secret Realm."

Lin Bai flipped through his memory about the Stars Secret Realm, his expression slightly condensed, he took a deep breath, sat cross-legged in his room, and began to meditate and recuperate.

...

As the day of the Stars Secret Realm opening draws near, the number of Warriors in Starry Sky City gradually increases, reaching nearly three hundred thousand, all of whom are disciples from the Seven Major Sects.

In a place called City Lord Mansion within Starry Sky City.

The City Lord Mansion of Starry Sky City is composed of the higher-ups of the Seven Major Sects. They are responsible for guarding the safety of Starry Sky City and are also in charge of organizing the opening of the Stars Secret Realm.

At this moment inside the City Lord Mansion, a group of Old men and Old women sat together. From their clothing, it is evident that they are all higher-ups from the Seven Major Sects, among which the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Feng Yue Elder accounted for seven people.

"Is there anyone who hasn’t arrived yet?" An Old man asked.

An Elder from the Saint Seal Sect laughed lightly: "The Saint and Saintess of Saint Seal Sect, Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong, arrived in Starry Sky City half a month ago, unlike other Sect disciples who are taking their time."

An Elder from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect spoke softly: "Heaven Reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate arrived in Starry Sky City today with Dongfang Bai, so we’re almost all here."

An Old man said, "The Saints of Saint Seal Sect have arrived, and all four Junior Sword Venerates of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect are here too."

"The Saint and Saintess of Donglan Sword Sect, Yejian Qiu and Jian Ruohan, entered Starry Sky City a few days ago."

"The Saints of Fenxin Sect, Yang Changdong and Wei Jing, are still on their way and are expected to arrive in Starry Sky City in three days."

"The Saints of Heavenly Sword Sect, Yu Liang and Saintess Ling Yu, have arrived in Starry Sky City yesterday evening."

"The Saints of Luotian Sect, Yan Tuo and Mi Rong, are already outside Starry Sky City and are expected to arrive this evening!"

"As for the people of the Seven Luminaries Starfall Mountain..."

At this point, an Elder of the Seven Luminaries Starfall Mountain stood up and said with a smile, "Our Seven Luminaries Starfall Mountain is not like your Sects, which have established Saint Sons and Saint Daughters. Our branches within the mountain are numerous, and it’s extremely difficult to establish Saints and Saintesses, so we have not done so!"

"However, the geniuses of our Seven Luminaries Starfall Mountain have nearly all arrived!"

An old man said, "In that case, everyone should be more cautious. The opening of the Stars Secret Realm is bound to involve many Old Monsters intervening. By then, we do not wish to see chaos reigning within Starry Sky City!"

"Moreover, with all the Saints and Saintesses present in Starry Sky City, not even the slightest mishap concerning their safety can be tolerated. Otherwise, if our Sects blame us, we would not be able to bear it!"

The several dozen Elders tasked with guarding Starry Sky City solemnly nodded in agreement.

An Elder from Fenxin Sect asked with a smile, "I heard that Dongfang Bai, the Heaven Reaching Sword Sect’s Junior Sword Venerate, killed over a thousand people from the Saint Seal Sect before even entering Starry Sky City. Is that true?"

Hearing this topic brought up, the face of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s old man turned icy, while the face of the Saint Seal Sect Elder turned iron green, and he couldn’t help but look towards the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, saying coldly, "Regarding this matter, I still expect the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect to give us an explanation!"

The Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Elder said softly, "It’s just a minor scuffle among juniors. What explanation is needed?"

The Saint Seal Sect Elder snorted coldly, "Killing a thousand disciples of my Saint Seal Sect is not what I would call a minor scuffle!"

The Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Elder sneered disdainfully and did not continue to entangle with the Saint Seal Sect Elder.

The Saint Seal Sect Elder said coldly, "It seems the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect does not want to explain this matter? If there is friction in the future, do not blame my Saint Seal Sect for being ruthless."

The Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Elder was even more speechless, were the frictions between the Saint Seal Sect and the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect not already numerous?

"Heaven-reaching dogs, Saint Seal pigs," the two Sects were antagonistic towards each other, and it was not a matter of just one or two days.

The Elders from the other Great Sects watched as the Elders of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and Saint Seal Sect looked at each other with enmity, and they all gave a slight smile without intervening.

...

For three consecutive days, Lin Bai cultivated in seclusion within the courtyard, awaiting the opening of the Stars Secret Realm.

Not only Lin Bai, but nearly all the Saints and Saintesses from the other Sects rarely showed their faces after arriving in Starry Sky City. However, there were some disciples within the Sects who couldn’t stand the loneliness.

It was rare for them to gather with disciples from the other Great Sects, and naturally, they couldn’t avoid sparring with each other.

Over time, a huge Martial Arts Stage formed over the Central Square in Starry Sky City, and disciples from the Major Sects took turns stepping up to fight and exchange pointers.

At the beginning, the Martial Arts Competition was orderly, but as more and more Sect disciples joined, the fights became less controlled and many disciples lost their lives on the Martial Arts Stage, which immediately caused animosity amongst the Sects.

Even the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain were called out to regain face for the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect on the Central Square.

It must be said that with the intervention of the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain, the previous decline of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect was immediately swept away, and they pressed down on the disciples from the other six Major Sects such that they couldn’t even raise their heads.

In just a few short days, the reputation of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain spread among the disciples of the Seven Major Sects, growing more and more formidable, to the point where these seventy-two people were named the strongest warriors below the Yangshen Realm, the seventy-two Strong Ones of the Yin Saint Realm!
