533: A Warm, Bright Smile

A Warm, Bright Smile

The laughter continued and the divine weapons burst into godly auras. Immediately, it has caused a series of chain reaction, triggering the divine weapons in the many races to emerge on their own.

At that instant, the whole Ancestral Star was lit up like a firework. The divine weapons and godly spirits emerged again and protected their people!

Even the divine weapons the experts have brought along with them had to emerge to protect them from being crushed by the immense godly auras around them.

The closer they move toward Swords Gate, the more terrified the experts were. Their presumptuous and overbearing manner was now gone. They traced the sound and met with a young man standing on the top of Swords Gate. He stood before the Golden Summit, holding a cold and frigid face without the slightest expression of welcoming them nor asking for their forgiveness as what he had said.

"He knew we are coming and is giving us a show of superiority?", on the northside, Shi Buyi nearly hopped up from his seat on the deck of a warship. He suddenly laughed and pointed his finger at Zhong Yue, he said, "You see that? In just a few years, the humans have grown to such a strong stage. With him there on their side, the human race will never fall and this is just the dawn of everything. They will rise higher and higher while in turn, look at all of you, fighting and scheming internally, trying to snatch my powers away for your own."

He said frigidly, "If you three are given the power to rule, the East Barren will not last even for a decade before it is devoured by the Zhong Shan Clan member. We monsters will be enslaved by the humans for eternity!"

Behind him, the monster lords were in complete silence. Especially the three island lords, their faces were changing continuously.

While on the west, Feng Wuji abruptly stood up from his seat, he stared closely at Swords Gate and glanced around the Great Wilderness. In that moment, regrets filled into his heart, he thought, If I had let go of my lust to be the Xiao Mang high priest and instead to calm myself and be a good headmaster, such honor and glory will be mine to claim already. It wouldn't be the Zhong Shan Clan member who stands that now…

On the south, Mister Kun Da of the Kun Peng Celestial Race remained silent, but the gloomy expression that clouded his face clearly stated his unbalanced emotions.

While Clan Master Xia and Zhurong Yanqin exchanged a look, they both thought tacitly, When did the Great Wilderness Swords Gate turn so strong?

"It'd be hard to eat a few humans out from the Great Wilderness from now on…", a celestial expert mumbled.

The human race was the weakest and most humble race in the world. Even when the Lesser Void World has reappeared in the Ancestral Star, the human race was evaluated as the food of the many races despite their growth in strength.

But how many years have just passed from then until now?

And the human race has grown to such a place where it was now strong enough to be able to face squarely with the other races!

It was truly terrifying!

This was something not even the first headmaster could have done, not even those days were the humans be on such a level!

"A show of strength…?", Mister Kun Da sneered coldly, he said in a placid tone, "Today, we aren't here to witness your strength. We are here to question the sin Zhong Shan Clan member has done! We are here in the name of justice and we demand an explanation from Swords Gate. My fellow friends, not even the strongest living can bend the rules of justice, let alone Swords Gate!"

Clan Master Xia stiffened up his face, he nodded and answered, "That is true. My fellow friends, let's go to the Swords Gate Mountain!"

The many experts reached to the Swords Gate Mountain under the lead of their heads. The vessels docked beneath the mountain and the heads of the races have reached to the Golden Summit.

"Where is Headmaster Jun?", they asked.

The experts glanced around, the human disciples have gathered around and stood on guard. The lead of them were Zhong Yue and Shui Zian, following by the elder council, elders and hall masters.

Rays flashed across Shi Buyi's eyes, he said while smiling, "The heads of many races are here, but why is Headmaster Jun not yet arrived? If she is not here, none of you present are in a position high enough to stand on par with us. Is this how the humans treat their guests?"

Shui Zian stepped forward, he clasped his hands together and said in a smile, "Heads of many races, our Headmaster Jun is now in a closed door training on the Celestial Water Star, she wouldn't be able to receive you all. But before she leaves, she has appointed an acting headmaster, every affairs now will be handled by him."

"Jun Sixie, on the Celestial Water Star?", it was like a cup of cold water poured into a pot of boiling oil. The heads of the races and many experts plunged into a clamor. Feng Wuji's face changed drastically, his confident took a great hit and he exclaimed in disbelief, "She has ascend into the deityhood?"

In order to fly out of the Ancestral Star, one would need to pass through the Pure Yang lightning zone; and to fly out of the Pure Yang lightning zone, one would need to cultivate a Pure Yang Yuan Shen, which also means, ascending into the deityhood.

If Jun Sixie was now on the Celestial Water Star, it means that she was already a human god. That being said, the human race would be officially a strong faction that was on par with all the others!

If that's the case, how would they dare to come and pressure the humans?

Shui Zian held a bright smile on his face but never explained, it was best to the human race for such misunderstandings to persist.

All of a sudden, Feng Wuji regained his usual composure, he laughed and said, "No, Jun Sixie is not a god yet. She is just a human and even with the Water Innate Spirit Body, the humans just don't have such talents to ascend into the deityhood. Furthermore, it's too short a time for her to do it even if she could in the first place. Thus, Headmaster Jun must have used some sort of teleportation portal that sends her out of the Ancestral Star. It's still a question if she can make it back alive."

The heads of the races weren't idiots as well, they were capable on getting the truth on their own and with Feng Wuji pointing it out to them, they immediately realized it as well. Jun Sixie was just a True Spirit magnate, even if she was truly a great talent, she wouldn't be able to breakthrough to the Imminent Deity level so easily, let alone deityhood!

The smile that radiated across Shui Zian's face never changed even so, he said while smiling, "Senior martial brothers, why don't you all enter the palace and enjoy some teas while we discuss of the affairs."

"No need for that.", Shan Shen high priest said, "We are here for an explanation. You humans have fraternized with the insect race insect gods and caused the death of many experts and gods! Since Headmaster Jun is not in, I request Senior Martial Brother Shui to hand out the Zhong Shan Clan member!"

Shui Zian hesitated, he said, "Senior martial brothers, you said that Elder Zhong has fraternized with the insect race, do you have any evidences? Without any solid evidence, wouldn't you all be too reckless to come so quickly?"

Shi Buyi gave a cold hum, "In the Great Wilderness, do you see the insect experts scattering all over the places? Over twenty insect magnates are stationed on your border and cities. It's clear that you humans have fraternized with the insect race, the Great Wilderness is now a breeding ground for the insect race, the frontal base for them to devour the Ancestral Star! Today, you will have to hand out the Zhong Shan Clan member and kill those insect magnates. Doing so otherwise will be a sign of war with us, with the many races, with the whole of Ancestral Star!"

Clan Master Xia nodded, he concurred, "Lord Shi Buyi is speaking the truth."

Shi Buyi smiled, he thanked and said, "Clan Master Xia is overpraising me, I merely just spoke the hearts of many."

Mister Kun Da stepped forward, he sneered coldly and said, "The Zhong Shan Clan member has done many bad things in the past, and with the sins he has made today, no one can protect him under. He must be eradicated and taken down once and for all!"

Feng Wuji cleared his throat and said softly, "Grand Elder Shui, don't let the traitor blurred your eyes. You don't know how bad this Zhong Shan Clan member is behind you, you have been deceived and if the human race continues protecting him, the human race will only face with the wrath of many races."

Shui Zian always have held a smile on his face when he talked to the others, but Feng Wuji was an exception. Shui Zian glared a pair of cold eyes as he mumbled, "Traitor…"

Feng Wuji smiled back and nodded, "Yes, traitor, the Zhong Shan Clan member is a traitor to the whole Ancestral Star. Today, the heads of many races are here to eradicate the threats of the Ancestral Star, to let the world know that justice is not lost!"

Shui Zian's eyelids throbbed, "Justice…"

All of a sudden, Zuo Xiangsheng stepped forward and raised his voice in anger, "Elder Zhong has followed the expedition into the insect planet, he contributed too much for the Ancestral Star! If it wasn't for him, you are all already in the stomachs of the insect race already!"

"Presumptuous!"

The heads of the many races glared at him and unleashed their auras down on him. Blood trickled out from the seven apertures of Zuo Xiangsheng's head, but he stood steadfast still. Zuo Xiangsheng laughed out loud and questioned, "When we were fighting in the insect planet, where are you parasites at? Hiding in the Ancestral Star! When we were slaughtering the insect experts in the insect planet, where are you all doing? Hiding in the Ancestral Star! When we were all being killed and devoured by the insects, where are the all of you? Hiding in the Ancestral Star! Now that we fought our way back, we returned safely home and what are you all doing now? Trying to kill us, attempting to kill those who saved your coward asses!"

"You, how presumptuous!", Mister Kun Da was piqued in anger, images of a thousand-mile long Kun Peng emerged behind him as he laughed in extreme anger, "Headmaster Jun is not here and you Swords Gate have no rules at all. Just a mere nobody dared to rave at us! Where are the rules of Swords Gate at?!"

Abruptly, Tian Yanzhong pressed against the pressure from the heads and stood alongside with Zuo Xiangsheng. He shouted back, "The insect planet is destroyed by Elder Zhong, the insect race is also wiped away by him! Just how big such contribution is! He protected your people, your race, your blood and you yourselves. Yet, you are here accusing him of fraternizing with the insect race? You are the one who sinned, you are the one who should die of all!"

"Damn you brat!"

The heads of the races were angered by the two juniors, they shouted out loud and their voices trembled out into the sky. Shi Buyi suddenly laughed and refuted, "You think we will believe what you said? Tell anyone at all, let me know if anyone ever believed you! Chid, you swank too much! The Zhong Shan Clan member has destroyed the insect planet? The Zhong Shan Clan member has wiped away the insect race? Only idiots like you will utter such nonsenses! Grand Elder Shui, let me ask you, are you Swords Gate going to hand out the Zhong Shan Clan member or not!?"

Mister Kun Da said placidly from the side, "If you hand him out, we can leave in peace. Or if you don't, I promise you the blood of humans will paint this beautiful land in the color of red."

The whole Swords Gate was piqued in anger, countless disciples looked at Shui Zian while the grand elder had no say in it. He raised his hands and shrugged while saying in an awkward tone, "Senior martial brothers, it's not that I don't want to, but I'm not the headmaster nor am I appointed as the acting headmaster as well. Only the acting headmaster can make the decision."

Feng Wuji smiled victoriously, he said, "Senior martial brothers, let us all calm ourselves first. As long as there is a person in charge who can make the decision. Grand Elder Shui, who is your acting headmaster?"

Shui Zian raised his finger and pointed at Zhong Yue, he said helplessly, "The Zhong Shan Clan member is our acting headmaster, you will have to ask him if he is willing to hand him out himself."

The heads of the races were stunned, Zhong Shan was the acting headmaster? Asking him if he is willing to hand himself out? It is truly a joke.

Shi Buyi cleared his throat, he said while smiling, "Zhong Shan Clan member, for the future of your race, for the greater good of Swords Gate, I suggest you to give yourself out."

Zhong Yue caressed little Xuan Yuan's head and replied, "I have no such intentions."

The high priest of the Gui Shen Celestial Race smirked coldly and said, "That being said, Swords Gate has decided to wage a war against us, against the world?"

Zhong Yue was placid, he said softly, "Senior martial brother, please that say that, my little heart can't bear too much pressures. If it is overpressured, I might just be unable to control my mouth and ordered the disciples to cast the Four Beast Banners and seal the dimensions around. With over forty divine weapons striking into the sealed dimension, senior martial brothers you will all be killed. I really don't want that to happen because I don't really know what should I do after that."

The heads of the races changed their faces drastically, they were all piqued in anger and shocked at the same time.

Zhong Yue was threatening them, openly and blatantly threatening them!

"The humans have divine weapons, does the other races don't?", Shi Buyi replied placidly, "The dragon race, the demon race and celestial race all have their own saint weapons. Even the monster race have a few divine weapons of our own. Zhong Shan Clan member, you threaten us with the divine weapons of Swords Gate, aren't you afraid of the total extinct of your human race?"

Zhong Yue, however, was even more placid than Shi Buyi, he said, "Taking you all down are more than enough. If senior martial brothers you are all brave and courageous enough to test it out, I honestly don't mind trying; eliminating all of the strongest existence of the many races and wash our Swords Gate Mountain with your bloods."2

"You!", the heads were all shocked and shouted in anger.

"Now I ask you, are you afraid?", Zhong Yue raised his head, he looked at the heads and a warm, bright smile radiated across his face.
