Chapter 1906: Easy Target
“Luo Ming, you should stay out of this,” rang a measured and resonant voice. “We are willing to respect the Golden Dragon Grand Supreme’s words. Grand supremes will not move against the kid. But if you insist on protecting him, then you cannot blame us for joining hands and razing your pagoda to the ground.”
Hummmm!
The auras of five grand supremes flared in unison and churned toward Luo Ming. They were afraid of elite grand supremes like the nine clawed golden dragon, but someone like Luo Ming? He was only slightly stronger than them and not an existence they had to avoid provoking.
At the very least, they were on the same level.
Five grand supremes acting in tandem were sufficient to raze the Wind and Cloud Pagoda to the ground. Remaining out of sight up to this point, Luo Ming and Luo Qian glowered ominously. Although the pagoda possessed many allies, they were unwilling to start trouble in current times. Many factions’ grand supremes were in the empyrean supreme’s tomb and their condition was unclear.
The best thing for most people to do was to keep their noses clean, safeguard their faction’s operations, and quietly remain put.
The chief worlds wouldn’t be so unmoved by the World of Immortals’ conquests otherwise.
At the same time, many grand supremes left behind decrees for their people to seize formula dao. It was what Lu Yun had been worried about all this time. Therefore, he wanted to raise a ruckus in the chief worlds now and shoulder everything by himself. He’d dumped his work on others too many times—he couldn’t do so in this instance.
This was immortal dao’s best opportunity to enter the chief worlds. It would be too difficult to try again when the moment passed. Thus, Lu Yun sought to draw everyone’s attention to him while the powerhouses of the chief worlds were gathered on Darkstar. He would place himself in danger to divert attention away from the World of Immortals.
The more out of line he was, the safer his home would be.
He’d killed a high supreme after exceeding sequence at thirty levels and becoming a supreme. This more than proved how heaven-defying he was. But that wasn’t enough, he had to demonstrate how heaven-defying immortal dao was!
……
“I am not the second master of the Wind and Cloud Pagoda,” Lu Yun repeated quietly. “Lu Feng is my older brother, but the pagoda is his. Nothing about it has to do with me.
“Luo Ming, Luo Qian, you two can go back. I stand here with full assurance. With the nine clawed golden dragon behind me, grand supremes will not dare touch me.
“But you two… you two will become the faction’s greatest sinner if grand supremes take advantage of this to make off with the pagoda’s treasures.”
Luo Ming’s expression shifted drastically at this and he took a deep look at Lu Yun before leaving.
“You may begin.” Lu Yun smiled and waved Argent Snow into his hand.
He’d refined it with his soul force and cultivated it with his life. The Darkstar move that he’d newly invented could also be deployed to greater effect with Argent Snow. Such was the true meaning of a soul weapon.
But at this time, the crowd calmed down. A Rising Sunriver high supreme was a personage worth considering. That he’d been smashed to death with one blow meant that Lu Yun’s strength had reached unfathomable levels.
Thus, everyone awoke to the reality of the situation. When grand supremes weren’t at liberty to take action, the rest of them needed a comprehensive plan. The question on their minds at the moment was—why was the nine clawed golden dragon supporting Lu Yun?
It should be the dragons who found fault with him first!
The Golden Dragon King had nearly lost his mind due to the method bypassing the Lifeline Talisman, but the nine clawed golden dragon stood behind Lu Yun and blocked all other grand supremes for him?
When Lu Yun saw that no one stepped forward to attack him, he said, “A Rising Sunriver princess attacked one of Starcatch’s merchant vessels. If I hadn’t been on it, everyone on the vessel would’ve died.
“But Rising Sunriver’s people still freely roam the streets of this major world. They haven’t suffered any consequences, so it seems that Starcatch Tower is an easy target for everyone to bully. In that case, I must join in the fun as well.”
He stepped forward and arrived in front of Starcatch Tower. Distance held no meaning for supremes.
“Lu Yun,” Sikong Myriad Treasure’s voice rang out when the young man approached the door. “Starcatch Tower is a place of business and we conduct ourselves with the best of intentions. We do not involve ourselves in the struggles of the chief worlds, so I hope you consider the ramifications of what you are about to do.”
“Ramifications? Heh, I’ve thought about it plenty,” Lu Yun tittered. “Nothing happened to Rising Sunriver after they hijacked one of your merchant vessels, so I don’t think it’s a big deal if I raid one of your branches.”
He reached out a hand and gently caressed a curtain of light that’d shimmered into place in front of him. This was Starcatch Tower’s defensive formation, one similar to another at the Wind and Cloud Pagoda. It would take even a grand supreme some effort to dismantle it.
However, minute cracks appeared on the curtain wherever Lu Yun touched.????w????v?l. ???
“How is this possible?!” Sikong Myriad Treasure couldn’t do anything to Lu Yun, or else the nine clawed golden dragon would kill him. At the same time, it didn’t prevent him from operating the formation and keeping Lu Yun outside their domain.
He saw a tiny dot of light sparkle on Lu Yun’s fingertips and cut through the formation like a sharp knife.
“You don’t understand, do you?” Lu Yun put down his fingers. “This is formula dao. There is nothing that formula dao is incapable of. Its formulas can set up formations, etch talismans, refine pills, and craft items. Breaking a formation? Just the effort of a single thought.”
Hmmm.
The incomparably durable formation crumbled away into motes of light as glyphs streamed down like a waterfall.
“Nine Clawed Golden Dragon!” Sikong Myriad Treasure shouted. “If Lu Yun really does raid Starcatch Tower, then all of our partnerships with the dragons are at an end!”
“Whatever,” the dragon’s voice rumbled. “The dragons are just a toy to me anyway. I’ll have to give them back to the azure dragon ancestral god when he returns. I don’t care what happens to your partnerships, but I’ll kill you if you hurt Lu Yun.”
The young man was already in the tower’s lobby. The Darkstar branch of Starcatch Tower was a massive structure that boasted of an auction house, inn, cultivation rooms, and markets. The aura from a dozen supremes cut through the air as soon as he set foot inside and sliced down on him.
