Chapter 398 - 232: Zhong Yi’s Deceit Knight and Prince of Deceit
This was exactly why Star Night was so fond of Zhong Yi, even recommending that she join Fata’s Scripture, a faction of experts from the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations.
"Grandmaster Tao En, if you want the bodies of this Deceit Knight and Prince of Deceit, that’s no problem at all."
"Do you want them dead or alive?"
"If you want them dead, I’ll finish them off right now."
"If you want them alive, I’ll place a seal on them so they can’t awaken for one full month."
"However, this suppression method of mine can only hold them for one month."
"You must take their lives within that month."
"Otherwise, once they awaken, they will inevitably cause a great deal of trouble."
Killing an opponent at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level in battle was far easier than leaving them barely alive.
The reason Star Night hadn’t killed this Deceit Knight and Prince of Deceit during the battle was because she knew news of their disappearance in Starlight City would be difficult to contain.
The White Mist Divine Hall didn’t just have Deceit Knights; they also had Blood Chief Priests.
Having suddenly lost two combatants at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level, the White Mist Divine Hall would absolutely not let the matter rest.
The entire Mass Divine Sect wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
However, Star Night hadn’t spared the lives of this Deceit Knight and Prince of Deceit to use them as bargaining chips with the Mass Divine Sect.
The actions of this Deceit Knight and Prince of Deceit had crossed Star Night’s line.
Star Night was letting them live only because she wanted to squeeze out every last bit of their value.
Now that Tao En wanted them, Star Night didn’t need to overthink it anymore.
Upon hearing this, Tao En glanced at Zhong Yi. Seeing that she was listening intently to Star Night’s words, he nodded and said,
"Lord Star Emperor, I’ve committed it all to memory."
"Cao Xing’an colluded with the Mass Divine Sect to assassinate me. I hope you can speak to Longya City on my behalf."
"I would like to ask Flower Venerable to accompany me to Longya City to completely settle this score."
Because Tao En had not been decisive enough in the past, he had given Cao Xing’an two chances to take his life.
This time, Tao En was prepared to make a clean break!
As the saying goes, one’s quarrels should not involve family. However, ever since Cao Xing’an made the decision to move against Tao Niannian, Tao En would not spare anyone from the entire Cao Family behind him, including his niece who was a Celestial Destiny Seeker.
’I’m a genuine Six-finger Middle Tier Creator now. In truth, even without Star Night speaking up, as long as I reveal my identity, Longya City wouldn’t say much.’
The reason Tao En asked Star Night to be the one to contact Longya City was also to avoid causing trouble for Starlight City.
’After all, I am now a Creator affiliated with Starlight City.’
Star Night was well aware of the feud between Tao En and Cao Xing’an.
Star Night had long anticipated that Tao En would want revenge.
"As for Longya City, I will notify them about this matter shortly."
"Grandmaster Tao En, you may deal with Cao Xing’an, the entire Cao Family behind him, and any factions or individuals connected to him as you see fit."
"This is a personal grudge between you!"
"If you encounter any resistance from Longya City, just let me know. I don’t mind making another trip there myself."
With a wave of her hand, Star Night’s Fallen Star Night Qilin transformed, shrinking to the size of her palm.
It curled up in Star Night’s arms and fell into a deep sleep.
In that battle, the Fallen Star Night Qilin had not only suffered damage to its Origin, but its stamina was also completely drained.
The Fallen Star Night Qilin’s goal all along hadn’t been to defeat the Deceit Knight.
Instead, it had focused on suppressing its opponent while protecting itself from the Deceit Knight’s desperate final attacks.
Seeing the serious injuries on both Star Night and the Fallen Star Night Qilin, Zhong Yi scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Star Night, my Order Beast just used up all its Energy!"
"First thing tomorrow morning, after I help Sister Suxin heal her fractured bones, I’ll come to the Star Frost Tower twice a day to treat you on schedule."
"I’ve never treated someone at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations before, so I’m not sure how long it will take to heal your injuries."
"But we’ve tested it before, and my Order Beast’s Healing Ability works on those at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations."
"I expect that even if it’s slow, you’ll definitely be fully healed within a few months."
Zhong Yi was being extremely conservative with her words.
’In reality, healing Star Night and her Order Beast will consume their own internal Energy. The Resurrection Celestial Lord’s Core of Resurgence merely acts as a catalyst. The time required to heal someone at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations shouldn’t be much different from healing someone of another Tier with similar injuries.’
Hearing this, Star Night smiled at Zhong Yi and said,
"Xiaoyi, it’s precisely because of you that I dared to fight without holding back."
"It’s not that I was afraid of getting hurt before. It’s just that if I were injured, all my enemies would come swarming."
"And I wouldn’t be able to protect Starlight City anymore!"
"This feeling of fighting with complete abandon... I haven’t felt it in a very long time."
"Thank you for giving me the courage to experience this feeling again."
"It’s too much trouble for you to travel back and forth between your residence and the Star Frost Tower every day."
"From now on, I’ll come over once every evening. You only need to treat me once a day."
"This place is a total mess because of the battle. I’ll arrange for people to come and restore everything shortly."
"To avoid causing a major disturbance, that Deceit Knight and Prince of Deceit sealed off the area around this residence."
"Xiaoyi, when you crushed my and Frost Day’s Instant Jades, the arrival of our two Order Beasts caused quite a commotion."
"But both Frost Day and I intentionally restrained ourselves. As long as we don’t speak of this, the news won’t get out anytime soon."
