Chapter 1216: Everyone’s Admiration
While Liu Zixuan was chatting with Luo Xi, a group of strong individuals from the Star Pavilion Alliance stepped out from the side hall, all with big smiles and a full sense of respect.
Liu Zixuan had saved their lives and provided them with a bigger platform for development than before, so they held an irreplaceable reverence for him in their hearts.
"This is the current acting Alliance Leader of the Star Pavilion Alliance, Zhang He."
Luo Xi pointed to a middle-aged man and introduced him.
Zhang He proactively extended his hand: "Zixuan has returned, how can I be considered any kind of Alliance Leader? The Star Pavilion Alliance only has one Alliance Leader, and that’s Zixuan!"
"Hahaha, Alliance Leader Zhang is too modest, for now, you’re the one who has to take up the role of Alliance Leader!" Liu Zixuan shook hands with him and laughed.
"These people beside him are the elders of the Star Pavilion Alliance; most of them are from the previous major sects and families." Luo Xi laughed.
Liu Zixuan nodded and greeted them, briefly making acquaintances before taking a seat.
"Zixuan, there must be some reason for your visit to the Star Pavilion Alliance this time, right?" Zhang He asked.
Liu Zixuan nodded: "That’s right, this time it involves the life and death of the Star Sea Martial Realm, so I need everyone’s strong support!"
Hearing this, everyone straightened their backs solemnly, showing no signs of retreat, as they waited for Liu Zixuan to announce what they should do.
Immediately, Liu Zixuan stated the foreign forces eyeing the Yudou Treasure and the plan to use the auction to wear down some of the foreign martial artists.
"Dividing them up and then consuming them is indeed the best method at the moment, so what do you intend for us to do, Zixuan?"
After Zhang He spoke, he glanced at everyone around and said formally: "I understand that compared to those Hidden Sects, the Star Pavilion Alliance still has a long way to go, but we are all of firm integrity, willing to stake everything for the Star Sea land!"
Liu Zixuan now understood why Zhang He was chosen as the acting Alliance Leader; with just a few words, he had stirred the emotions of those around him, each clenching their fists with a valiant aura as if preparing to head into battle.
Sighing with a slight pinch to his forehead: "Everyone, relax first. Since I’m here looking for you, of course, I’m planning to have you contribute a bit, don’t be so tense."
Zhang He chuckled: "Zixuan, you speak."
"In addition to those top foreign sects coveting our Star Sea Yudu treasures, there are many ordinary martial artists, actually, speaking in general, the top of the pyramid is always a minority, and what really can’t be ignored are those numerous ordinary martial artists."
Liu Zixuan paused: "Therefore, this time I want you to deploy the disciples of the Star Pavilion Alliance across Yudu, the border, and major routes leading inland. The task is simple—to discreetly, in the next few days, eliminate as many outsiders as possible."
Upon hearing this, Zhang He squinted his eyes: "Zixuan, the Star Pavilion Alliance currently has over two hundred and thirty disciples. If we follow your approach, the number of ordinary martial artists coming from abroad should be several times higher than our disciples, right?"
"That’s right, faced with such treasures, every martial artist in the world would be tempted. Although many know the chance of obtaining them is slim, they will still desperately try, resulting in scattered martial artists sneaking in, some alone, others in groups of two or three. Those are the ones you need to focus on."
"But there are too many of them; I fear..." Zhang He became a bit troubled.
In other words, there are too many enemies! Even if you eliminate ninety-nine, there’ll always be one that slips through!
Liu Zixuan chuckled: "No worries, it’s not just the Star Pavilion Alliance acting alone, other sects and families will also be involved, moreover, we only need to focus on the majority, and the rest can be ignored."
"Then there’s no problem, I’ll arrange it shortly." Zhang He stated.
Liu Zixuan nodded: "This is our territory in the Star Sea; we have many advantages, so when dealing with them, there’s no need for direct confrontation. Use some tactics and stratagems to minimize our losses."
"Don’t worry, our ancestors were world-famous for guerilla warfare." Everyone laughed.
Liu Zixuan pondered for a moment: "One more thing, try not to alarm ordinary people. When martial artists engage, it can cause trouble for civilians."
Zhang He grinned: "We’ll do our best, but who knows what tactics they’ll use."
"As long as you’re aware!"
Liu Zixuan stood up: "Alright, I won’t say much more for now; this time, there’s no detailed plan, we’ll take it step by step and strive for the best outcome."
"Leaving already?" Zhang He frowned: "At least take a break and have something to eat."
"After the battle, assuming we all make it, I’ll definitely host a grand celebration banquet in Qian Nan for everyone!" Liu Zixuan clasped his hands: "Given the urgent situation, let’s skip the formalities."
"For your words, we will defeat the enemy and live well, waiting eagerly for your celebration banquet!"
Everyone spoke light-heartedly as they accompanied Liu Zixuan and the others to the manor’s entrance.
"Mountain high water deep, farewell for now!"
Standing at the manor’s entrance, Liu Zixuan nodded slightly to them and then headed straight to the city with Luo Xi and Qiqi.

Watching them leave, a nearby elder asked: "Brother Zhang, what realm is Zixuan in now; why can’t I even see through him?"
Zhang He’s mouth twitched: "I can’t tell either, but back during the Willow Association battle, he was already in the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven. Though he was injured and nearly killed then, I think by now he’s likely reached the Third Heaven."
"So powerful, and he’s not even thirty. If he were our age, he would surely have entered the Life and Death Realm..."
Their conversation was naturally overheard by Liu Zixuan and the others.
Luo Xi turned her head and asked: "What realm are you at now?"
"Just the mere Life and Death Realm, nothing worth mentioning." Liu Zixuan chuckled mischievously.
Luo Xi stumbled slightly while walking, her eyes widening: "You rascal, they were already about to worship you for being in the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven; if they knew you’ve reached Life and Death Realm, they’d probably kneel instantly."
"Whether they kneel or not isn’t important; the main thing is, will you kneel?" Liu Zixuan smiled playfully: "Since it’s already late, why don’t we get something to eat, then find a hotel with a nice big soft bed to catch up?"
Luo Xi’s face reddened: "Qiqi is still here, what are you saying!"
Liu Zixuan glanced at Qiqi: "Did you hear us say anything?"
"I recall there’s a famous tea house in Qian Nan Land, I plan to visit it alone." Qiqi smiled cooperatively: "Brother, sister, wishing you both a pleasant night!"
