Ten star deities attended the gathering, but one was missing.
Among these star lords, there happens to be one who possesses sensory abilities.
"What a coincidence," Darcy thought to herself.
Things were going too smoothly, so smoothly that she could hardly believe it.
To ensure everything went perfectly, Darcy slowly closed her eyes, maximizing her sensory abilities.
Her spiritual power, like fine spider silk, merged with the boulder.
Every movement above was keenly detected by the energy fluctuations.
Darcy checked again with full concentration, and the nine powerful and unique energy fluctuations were clearly discernible within the Tian Shu Pavilion.
That's right, one of the Star Lords is indeed missing.
"It seems God is on my side." Darcy's lips curled into a slight smile. "Without 'eyes' around, my actions are much safer."
The absence of the Perception Star Lord means that she is less of a most troublesome threat when she is secretly spying.
Just as she was concentrating on further exploring the Tian Shu Pavilion, she suddenly detected a strange fluctuation within her perception range. It was a feeling unlike anything else, and it didn't seem to be the aura of an ordinary creature.
"A horse?"
Darcy couldn't help but furrow her delicate brows, her mind filled with doubt, and she couldn't help but speculate:
"Could the absent Star Lord be...? That can't be..."
At the same time, Xiao Hei, who was resting outside Tian Shu Pavilion, happened to roll over, his fat and bloated body seemingly having some difficulty moving flexibly.
Little Black struggled to twist its body, and with great effort finally managed to change its position, clumsily turning over.
"Uh..." Darcy was speechless for a moment.
Through her senses, she clearly confirmed that this was indeed just an ordinary...fat horse, not some star lord's transformation ability.
Inside the Tian Shu Pavilion.
Suddenly, a talisman inside Master Chenxuan's clothes glowed faintly, emitting a soft light and warmth.
Master Chenxuan frowned, his eyes revealing wariness, and looked at Lei Xiao in a low voice:
There are rats.
Lei Xiao immediately understood what Daoist Chen Xuan meant and promptly interrupted Wang Tianzhao and the others who were still arguing fiercely:
"Alright, alright, stop arguing."
Lei Xiao raised his voice and deliberately said:
"If any of you are in danger, I will immediately launch a rescue operation on behalf of Zhongzhou."
“Every Star Lord is indispensable to Zhongzhou.”
He scanned the crowd:
"If there is nothing else, this gathering will now conclude."
"Huh? That's it?" Jiang Yue stood up, seemingly unsatisfied, and pouted.
"I actually thought we had something important to discuss."
As he spoke, Jiang Yue appeared in the main hall of Tian Shu Pavilion in a flash:
Goodbye, everyone.
Jiang Yue turned around and waved to everyone. After glancing at Li Yu secretly, he disappeared from Tian Shu Pavilion.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp "snap!" was heard outside the main hall of Tian Shu Pavilion.
Little Black, lying with its round belly, felt a sharp pain in its bottom, as if it had been slapped.
"Hiss!"
Little Black hissed angrily and looked up, its eyes wide open, but there was no one in front of it, only emptiness, a few pillars around it, and the pattering of rain.
Little Black's eyes were filled with terror, and its face looked like it had seen a ghost. It couldn't understand where this inexplicable slap came from.
Jiang Yue, who had already run far away, withdrew his hand, a bright smile on his face, muttering to himself:
"Li Yu's pet is really interesting. Oh, no! It's Li Yu's companion."
Jiang Yue was in high spirits and moved nimbly through the rain.
After making the announcement, Lei Xiao prepared to leave.
After nodding to Li Yu, Wang Tianzhao, and the others, he quickly walked towards the outside of Tian Shu Pavilion.
Lei Xiao's steps were slightly hurried, and his expression was solemn, as if he had something on his mind. He did not talk much with Li Yu and the others.
Following closely behind, Daoist Chenxuan also looked wary and on guard, while muttering incantations, seemingly calculating something with his fingers.
Only Wu Pojun and the Pure World Monk took the initiative to step forward and greet Li Yu and the other Star Lords:
"Esteemed Star Lords, now that the gathering is over, we shall take our leave," Wu Pojun said with a smile.
“Amitabha, we will meet again if we are destined to.” Monk Jingshi said with his hands clasped together and a kind expression.
After the two left, Bai Ruyu also stepped forward to say goodbye to Li Yu, and took the initiative to speak, whispering:
“Li Yu, I heard that the Ao family seems to be targeting you for revenge. I said I killed Ao Qiu, but they don't seem to believe me and are determined to pin all the blame on you. I…”
Bai Ruyu hesitated, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and guilt.
Having obtained the dragon vein with Li Yu's help, she didn't want Li Yu to take the blame for everything.
Strangely, no matter how she explained, those people seemed to only believe the conclusions they subconsciously accepted and were unwilling to believe the truth.
She told the truth, but nobody believed her!
"It's alright, it's not your fault." Li Yu replied calmly upon hearing the name Ao.
"Let them come. I want to see if this young master Ao is worth them giving everything for."
A cold glint flashed in Li Yu's eyes. If the Ao family really had that kind of courage, then they could solve a big problem all at once, saving him the trouble of searching for them one by one.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Li Yu would misunderstand and think that she was the one who pinned all the blame on Li Yu.
"Thank you, Li Yu," Bai Ruyu said softly, pursing her lips.
After saying that, Bai Ruyu turned around and quickly left Tian Shu Pavilion.
Li Yu was bewildered by the sudden gratitude. Before he could understand what Bai Ruyu was thanking him for, the other party had already disappeared from sight.
Li Yu scratched his head, puzzled, and looked at Wang Tianzhao and Lu Fan, who were the only two people left in Tian Shu Pavilion.
However, neither of them understood the hidden story between Bai Ruyu and Li Yu.
Now that the first Star Lord Gathering has ended, only the familiar Li Yu and two others remain in the Tian Shu Pavilion.
The three exchanged glances and smiled in unison, just as they had when they first arrived in Zhongzhou.
Seeing that only the three of them remained in the Tian Shu Pavilion, Wang Tianzhao's arrogance subsided somewhat.
"Wang Tianzhao, have you been doing well lately?" Lu Fan couldn't help but ask immediately.
Wang Tianzhao suddenly became alert. He activated his supernatural ability, enveloping the three of them in a faint light, before lowering his voice and saying, "You can speak now."
Li Yu frowned slightly: "So cautious?"
He had never seen Wang Tianzhao so cautious before.
"We must be careful." Wang Tianzhao's expression was unusual, revealing caution and caution. Now that his status was different, he naturally could no longer be as careless as before.
Wang Tianzhao seemed to recall something shocking: "None of you have any idea what I saw during my time with the Zhongzhou government."
