Chapter 1052: Star Pavilion Alliance
Ignoring the bewildered expressions of the two old men, Liu Zixuan, the beautiful master, and Luo Xi stormed straight into the main tomb chamber.
This main tomb chamber was unlike any they had seen before; the usual ones often had unique architecture marked with historical traces, allowing easy dating. But this chamber contained only over a dozen floating coffins at the far end, and nothing else.
Moreover, it was vast and empty, as large as two big football fields, with walls carved smooth as if naturally shaped.
At this moment, the enormous space was strewn with over twenty lifeless bodies, while many others, severely injured, leaned against or sat on the ground, making the scene a picture of utter chaos.
Among those standing before the dozen coffins, most were disheveled and looked rather battered.
Seeing the scorch marks on their clothing, Liu Zixuan guessed that the so-called fire dragon must have been triggered by a mechanism.
Hearing the newcomers, those in front slowly turned, with one sneering, "More fools coming to get themselves killed!"
"They are all Martial Artists," Luo Xi muttered with a frown, "Their Realm isn’t particularly high; maybe they’re from the Martial Realm."
Liu Zixuan nodded, lit a cigarette, and stepped forward, asking with a smile, "Gentlemen, may I know which Sect in the Martial Realm you’re from?"
"Oh ho, an ordinary guy actually knows about the Martial Realm?"
It wasn’t that they were dismissive of Liu Zixuan’s Realm; it was just that once Liu Zixuan resumed his cultivation, except for those above the Emperor Realm Second Heaven, no one could sense Martial Artist vibes from him.
In Lingxiu Village, apart from Wang Liang and Xuanyuan Yanshu, others still believed Liu Zixuan’s Realm was sealed, showing no change!
This was evident from Luo Xi and the beautiful master earlier.
Of course, Liu Zixuan thought that the situation might be due to his true Realm being sealed. Given his minor Profound Realm currently, any strong figure here could easily detect it.
Liu Zixuan grinned, "I’ve done some things among Martial Artists before and know a few people."
"Are you trying to scare us by mentioning some people?" the Martial Artist asked with a sarcastic smile.
Meanwhile, several people surrounded Liu Zixuan and his companions.
With limited treasures here, they endured numerous hardships entering; how could they allow newcomers to share the spoils?
Liu Zixuan grinned, "It’s not about scaring, just thinking since we’re all from the Martial Realm, we might know each other and avoid a fight, reducing unnecessary casualties!"
"You think you three can cause us any casualties?"
These were all Martial Artists below the Emperor Realm, unable to perceive Liu Zixuan due to his sealed Realm. Neither could they see through the Emperor Realm strength of the beautiful master and Luo Xi. Thus, facing them, they thought they were just ordinary people!
Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead, thinking that he had saved more than half of the Martial Realm in Star Sea by risking his life. Killing a few more would be uncomfortable.
First, the Martial Realm suffered great losses due to previous Celestial Dao Alliance events.
Second, the remaining people in the Martial Realm are vital to face international Martial Artist foundations in the future, and cannot be fewer.
Thus, Liu Zixuan was reluctant to kill them.
In the past, once inside, it wouldn’t have been this many.
"What? Afraid now? Don’t dare to speak?"
Another Martial Artist stepped out, laughing cynically, "Here’s the deal. You haven’t done anything bad upon entry, so leave now, and leave the two beauties with us. You look decent, but you’re just a regular guy with no capital to have beauties like these. Let us help you, we’ll utilize them well!"
Had these words not been spoken, Liu Zixuan might have let them have some treasures, benefiting Star Sea Martial Realm. But such lines touching his bottom line filled his ears, irritating him profoundly.
He took two fierce drags of the cigarette, turned to Luo Xi and the beautiful master, "Don’t kill them, let them learn a lesson!"
Luo Xi rubbed her fists, "I’ve been wanting to make a move!"
"Shall I help you?" the beautiful master asked with an elegant smile.
Luo Xi shook her head, "These... aren’t worth more than a single hand of mine!"
As she spoke, a seven-colored whip suddenly appeared in Luo Xi’s hand, raised high, dust flying, and a powerful Emperor Realm energy burst forth.
Those formerly disdainful Martial Artists, feeling this power, first froze, then became dumbfounded.
What the... this suddenly turned out to be an Innate Emperor Realm powerhouse!
But, Luo Xi didn’t allow them time to speak; where the seven-colored whip struck, cries of agony echoed, and moments later, over a dozen Martial Artists surrounding them lay on the ground.
Oh, there’s still the one who just cursed; he wasn’t hit by Luo Xi but directly went weak in the knees, kneeling on the ground.
Pleading tearfully, he said, "We didn’t know an Emperor Realm powerhouse arrived; we were blind. Please have mercy and spare us!"
"Weren’t you just wanting to utilize us? Why beg for mercy now!" Luo Xi, back to her sassy self, mocked and bound the Martial Artist’s neck with the whip, gently pulling him to her.
Luo Xi looked down upon him, "Which Sect are you from?"
"Originally... originally from Kun Sect of Northwest, then joined Celestial Dao Alliance, now it’s Star Pavilion Alliance." The Martial Artist dared not utter another word and spilled everything, almost revealing his ancestors’ identity.
"Star Pavilion Alliance?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow. "Was it newly established?"
"Indeed. The Celestial Dao Alliance shattered; now the Star Sea Martial Realm isn’t scattered but reunited," the Martial Artist said with pride.
"Star Pavilion?" The beautiful master turned to Liu Zixuan, "Did you name it?"
"Am I that idle?" Liu Zixuan retorted, a few black lines across his forehead, "Star probably means Star Sea, right?"
"Yes, and ’Xuan’ is a character from the name of the Emperor Realm powerhouse who saved us," the Martial Artist said, appearing as though revealing his identity would deter the three in front.
"If I guess correctly, ’Xuan’ is from Liu Zixuan’s name, right?" Luo Xi asked.
"Of course, Liu Zixuan is our Star Sea Martial Realm’s pride; countless people worship him!" As the Martial Artist spoke, he actually stood up, saying, "So now you know, offending us will..."
Slap!
Seeing his arrogance, Luo Xi raised the whip and hit him straight on the face...
