Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl
Chapter 1719: Master

Chapter 1719: Chapter 1719: Master

At the edge of the North Sea, many supreme experts watched Mu Bai’s confident demeanor and nodded in approval.

A total of eight people—three supreme beings from foreign races and five experts from the Earth Immortal realm!

If others knew that the Earth Immortal realm had so many experts colluding with foreign races, one could only imagine what they might think.

"Judging by the time, it should be soon. We can depart now."

Mu Bai glanced at the sky, a sinister expression covering his face.

The eight figures soared into the heavens, heading toward the mountain gates of the Star Palace.

At the same time, in the plaza below the mountain summit, all ceremonies had concluded, leaving only the competition between the two candidates!

Ahead of this, a direct combat was impossible. Hu Sheng’s strength was far inferior to Xinghui’s.

This stage was more about expressing an attitude. After all, the position of sect master was not one determined solely by combat prowess.

Xinghui was the first to step onto the stage, wearing a confident smile and looking calmly at the gathered disciples and elders.

"Everyone, the Star Palace has endured millions of years, weathering both its glory and its declines, yet we have persevered. Today, we stand as one of the foremost forces in this world!"

"The contributions of talented experts cannot be forgotten; however, in this era, relying solely on the foundation of our Star Palace is no longer sufficient to secure our place!"

"To this day, among supreme experts, we have only three. Although their power is formidable, they cannot dominate entirely on their own!"

"Now, the age of prosperity is dawning, but chaos will soon follow. The great sects and forces are locked in competition, vying for opportunities and seeking greater advantages in the looming age of turbulence!"

"I, Xinghui, have but one statement: give me three years. Within three years, I shall break through to Immortal Sovereign and open the Star Palace’s ancient inheritance secret realm. With this opportunity, I shall expand our sect’s strength, allowing us to produce at least five more supreme experts in the process!"

As he spoke, Xinghui’s face radiated dominance, scanning the disciples with confidence.

The disciples, upon hearing that the inheritance secret realm could be unlocked and countless opportunities could be obtained, had their eyes light up with fervent excitement!

This was the Star Palace’s most enigmatic legacy, passed down through antiquity. Any opportunity within it far surpassed those found in the external world’s era of prosperity!

It was the most mysterious existence within the entire Star Palace!

Who wouldn’t feel thrilled?

"Wow, I didn’t expect Xinghui to be so capable, possessing a method to unlock the inheritance secret realm?"

"If it really can be opened, leveraging the treasures inside could raise the Star Palace’s status to new heights, even making it the strongest transcendent force within the Earth Immortal realm!"

"Hahaha, our Star Palace is about to rise up!"

The disciples and elders were elated, eagerly anticipating the day Xinghui would become the sect master and unlock the inheritance secret realm.

At this moment, Hu Sheng, standing below the stage, seemed to finally grasp something.

Today wasn’t simply about honoring ancestors.

"Everyone, as a leader among this generation’s youth, my abilities are well-recognized. While others desperately pursue external opportunities, the Star Palace, under my leadership, will ascend to unparalleled heights by leveraging the inheritance secret realm!"

"With me at the helm, the Star Palace will only grow stronger!"

As Xinghui finished speaking, a smug smile bloomed on his face as he cast an arrogant gaze at Hu Sheng.

He opened with the ultimate move—how would Hu Sheng respond?

The plaza erupted into fervor, with disciples and elders alike eagerly looking toward the distant valley.

That valley housed the inheritance secret realm, which had remained inaccessible for over a million years!

Now, opportunity stood before them!

"Xinghui is undoubtedly formidable; he’s sure to lead our Star Palace to new heights."

"In chaotic times, strength is everything. Xinghui unlocking the inheritance secret realm is a blessing for the Star Palace!"

"Xinghui, Xinghui!"

The crowd roared like crashing waves, as if Xinghui had already ascended to the position of sect master.

On the mountaintop, Li Liuqing’s expression had turned as dark as water, his arms crossed as he remained silent.

Even supreme experts like him were shrewd and insightful, instantly discerning the situation with one glance. He frowned deeply.

What did Jiang Xiaobai mean—three years for the secret realm opportunity?

By now, Xinghui had stepped down from the stage and confidently strode toward Hu Sheng. Towering over him, Xinghui looked down with an oppressive gaze, his eyes clouded with malice.

"Regardless of whether you’re the saintly heir of the previous generation or simply Hu Sheng today, you have no right to challenge me!"

"Admit defeat!"

Xinghui sneered coldly in warning.

Hu Sheng took two steps back, pressing his lips together without saying a word, but his eyes burned with stubborn resolve!

He had always been the small, defiant figure willing to fight with everything he had to grow stronger, to protect those he held dear.

That had never changed!

Even now, standing far below Xinghui in ability, he refused to back down!

"Elder Qi, I’ve said all I needed to say. Why don’t we allow our saintly heir to come forward and say a few words?"

Xinghui chuckled mockingly.

Elder Qi’s face donned a kind smile, nodding amiably toward Xinghui. The two exchanged what seemed to be private remarks.

Soon, Elder Qi turned a detached gaze toward Hu Sheng.

At this moment, the young Hu looked up at the elder who had always guided him and felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.

Though young, he was not entirely naive.

One glance at the scene told him everything: he had always been nothing more than a tool to be used.

"Saintly heir, it’s your turn."

Elder Qi gestured toward the stage with a faint tone.

The other disciples turned their attention to Hu Sheng, their expressions indifferent.

After all, before Hu Sheng suddenly descended as the saintly heir, Xinghui had been the brightest star in the Star Palace—the one who received all their praise!

Since his return, Hu Sheng had stayed behind closed doors in seclusion, rarely appearing publicly. How could anyone even remember him?

The lone exception was the saintly heir title bestowed upon him by sect master Li Liuqing!

But in the end, it was just a title!

Among the disciples loyal to Xinghui, many stared disdainfully at Hu Sheng with mocking expressions.

Hu Sheng glanced around, clenched his fists tightly.

He felt an immense sense of misplacement—he didn’t belong here.

Suddenly, a figure emerged in his mind.

A young man dressed in white, his face adorned with a serene smile.

Fragments of memories surged in from every direction, the sharp pain exploding in his conscious sea.

"Saintly heir, what’s the matter? Are you afraid?"

Xinghui ridiculed. "From my perspective, there’s no need for you to waste everyone’s time. Let’s proceed directly."

As he spoke, Xinghui glanced toward the distant mountain summit, though no one could be seen.

Yet he knew clearly—sect master Li Liuqing was watching from there!

"Hmph, let’s see how you stop me today!"

"You old fool, when I rise to power, you’ll be the first one I destroy!"

Malice flickered in Xinghui’s heart.

Meanwhile, the pain in Hu Sheng’s mind intensified, as lost memories gradually returned!

He remembered the street, the little shop.

The defiant boy gritting his teeth and clenching his fists!

A strange warmth streamed down his cheeks.

"Master."

Hu Sheng murmured, his voice unnoticed by others.

The next moment, Hu Sheng raised his head, searching frantically for that familiar figure.

White robes, white robes—yet they were nowhere to be found.

Hu Sheng stood frozen in place.

In the past, there had always been someone behind him.

Today, there was no one.
