"You dare to be so presumptuous in my Star God Palace? If you, a mere True Immortal, were to escape, I'm afraid my Star God Palace would lose all face."
Chen Jian stood up from the head of the main hall and walked down the steps while speaking. When he finished speaking the last word, he was already standing in front of the leader of the secret guards.
"To be honest, was this assassination operation ordered by your temple master? Besides you, are there any other assassination teams? What is their overall strength? Where exactly are they operating?"
Chen Jian remained silent until he spoke, then launched into a barrage of questions, prompting the head of the secret guards to try and resist.
With a bang.
Chen Jian intensified the pressure, and the leader of the dark guards' legs were directly crushed by the overwhelming pressure. Blood mixed with flesh spun around in place, but still could not escape the range of the pressure.
The leader of the secret guards couldn't bear the pain and hurriedly said...
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk. This secret assassination operation was personally authorized by our Palace Master, and most of the secret guards were mobilized.”
"Currently, they are appearing on the roads around the Star God Temple, as well as at trading venues. Their overall strength is similar to my previous team, consisting of a True Immortal leading several Celestial Immortals."
"Aren't there any Golden Immortals or Great Luo Golden Immortals?" Chen Jian asked anxiously after hearing the guard's words.
"No, our secret guards are not very strong to begin with. They mainly do secret assassinations. For a fair and square kill, the elders need to be involved. Those elders will not appear until tomorrow."
Chen Jian nodded slightly. That was indeed the case. Tomorrow was the day his Star God Temple would confer divine sons and daughters. If these guys from the Dark God Temple didn't make a move soon, they might miss their chance.
He took a deep breath and glanced at the pale-faced guard.
“I could have spared your life, but unfortunately, you attacked the divine son of my Star God Temple, so there’s nothing I can do.”
"Ah? Lord, no! I won't!"
Bang!
Before the guard could finish speaking, Chen Jian directly unleashed the surrounding aura, blasting the True Immortal Realm guy into dust.
As for the blood, it gradually dissipated under the grinding power of the stars, eventually disappearing without a trace.
Chen Jian turned around and bowed slightly to Ye Chen.
"We are grateful for Fellow Daoist Ye Chen's assistance in helping the Divine Child in this perilous situation."
Seeing this, Ye Chen laughed and waved his hand to indicate that it was no problem, it was a small matter, and he would definitely spare no effort to save his own descendants.
Only a few people knew what was happening inside the main hall. Even Qu Feng, the Grand Elder of the Star God Temple, was unaware of it, as he was currently busy preparing for the investiture ceremony.
This ceremony will not only be witnessed by the people of the Star Temple, but also by other major forces in the Central Heaven Star Region. Invitations have already been sent out, and the news is widely known throughout the Central Heaven Star Region.
Even a naked little kid knows that a place called the Star Temple is going to confer titles on gods and goddesses.
The following day at noon.
Today, the Temple of Stars is filled with joy, with red lanterns and banners everywhere, and everyone's face is beaming with happiness.
For the first time in many years, the Endless Star Sea has been opened to the outside world, allowing other forces to visit and offer their congratulations.
The guests were immediately stunned by the scene in the starry sea upon entering; the stellar energy here was so dense that it was almost impossible to dissolve.
No wonder the Endless Sea of Stars is not open; it turns out they are afraid that the power of the stars here will be completely absorbed by outsiders.
Qu Feng greeted each of the leaders of the forces who came to offer their congratulations, and asked them to take their seats. The investiture ceremony was to be held in Star Plaza, and the seats for these forces were the seats in this plaza.
There is a high platform in the center of the square.
The platform at this moment was half purple and half red, and anyone could tell that the Star God Temple's upcoming investiture ceremony would take place on this platform.
"We have arrived at the Human Temple!"
A deep voice rang out, and Qu Feng immediately looked up. As the announcer finished speaking, Shen Wuyan slowly walked over with his elders.
Although Chen Jian had met Shen Wuyan, he hadn't met Qu Feng yet, so he immediately stepped forward respectfully.
Shen Wuyan spoke first, "Haha, today the Star God Temple is bestowing titles upon the God's Son and Goddess. My Human God Temple has no good gifts to offer, but I have a high-grade immortal artifact, the Ancient Hero Sword. Please accept it with a smile."
After saying this, the elder beside Shen Wuyan took out a brocade box, removed the lid, and inside lay a golden sword.
As soon as the sword appeared, the crowd in the square immediately gasped in surprise.
"My God, this is an ancient hero's sword."
"Is this magical artifact very powerful? Could you explain it to me?"
"You blockhead, the Ancient Hero Sword is a top-grade immortal weapon, and a top-grade among top-grade weapons, almost reaching the ultimate grade."
“A Golden Immortal wielding such a celestial artifact is enough to contend with a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. If the difference in strength is not too great, he can even kill him.”
hiss.
Upon hearing this, the audience gasped in astonishment. They hadn't expected the Human Temple to be so generous as to offer such a treasure.
It should be noted that the gifts they gave to the Star God Temple were just some ordinary spirit stones, cultivation techniques, and pills, all of which were of relatively low quality.
Judging from Elder Qu Feng's calm and unwavering gaze, it was clear that these things were completely dispensable gifts to the Star God Temple.
Looking at Elder Qu Feng now, the joy and happiness on his face are almost overflowing.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Temple Master. This way, please."
Because the gift was so valuable, Elder Qu Feng acted as the guide, personally leading Shen Wuyan and the others to their seats. Only after all the human elders were seated did Qu Feng leave with a smile.
The gifts from subsequent factions were far less impressive than the ancient hero's sword. The music was clear, and it was enough that the person came; it was a small gift but a big sentiment.
"The Dark Temple has arrived!"
Just as Qu Feng accepted the gift from a top-tier power and arranged for someone to guide him to his seat.
The announcer's voice rang out again, and Qu Feng looked up, his eyes squinting.
The Dark Temple sent four people this time, each dressed in a black robe covering their entire body, deliberately obscuring their identities from outsiders.
Surrounding those black-robed figures was a considerable amount of dark energy. Even with the power of stars around them counteracting it, the unusually dense dark power still held the upper hand.
As these creatures moved, the dark power would generate bursts of dark flames.
Many forces dare not approach, for if they are tainted by those dark tail flames, their cultivation will be reduced and their strength diminished, or they will die from vomiting blood and turning into bones.
These four figures were all elders of the Dark Temple, each possessing the strength of a peak Golden Immortal. The elder at the front could even break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm at any time.
