PDLP Chapter 138 For the Glory of the Star Palace!
Chapter 138 For the Glory of the Star Palace!
Tianxing City.
The eightieth level of the holy mountain.
Inside the Star Palace Hall, Jin Kui sat at the head of the round table, tapping his fingers on the surface.
"Sixth Brother, are you saying that Barbarian Beard went to the Outer Sea and killed Golden Flower Ancestor?"
Jin Kui looked to his left and saw a long-haired male cultivator sitting in a seat.
"Yes, according to the information from the investigation, one of Manhuzi's female disciples and concubines was having an affair with Jin Hua Lao Zu behind his back."
Upon learning of this, the Bearded Barbarian pursued the pursuer all the way to the Azure Cloud Sect on Qiyuan Island. On the island in the harem of Master Miaohe, he killed the Golden Flower Ancestor.
The Sixth Elder recounted the whole incident in detail.
Around the round table, the thirty-odd Star Palace elders all had strange expressions after hearing about the fall of the Golden Flower Ancestor.
The bearded man slept with a female disciple, who then cheated on him with the Golden Flower Ancestor. The Golden Flower Ancestor eventually died on the harem island of the Myriad Crane Immortal?
What is all this about?
"Even if the Barbarian Beard, with his mid-Nascent Soul stage strength, could defeat the Golden Flower Ancestor, who was at the early Nascent Soul stage, he probably wouldn't be able to stop the fleeing Nascent Soul, right?"
A beautiful woman sitting next to the Sixth Elder stopped playing with the Star Beads.
She frowned and said incredulously.
"Yes, Old Ancestor Golden Flower is quite powerful. Even if she can't defeat Barbarian Beard, she should be able to escape, right?"
Elder Jia, who sat at the end of the round table, also had doubts.
"The Golden Flower Ancestor is dead, her body and soul utterly destroyed. Miaohe has already confirmed this."
At this moment, a thin middle-aged man walked in through the entrance of the main hall. He was none other than the Ninth Elder of the Star Palace's direct lineage.
"Junior Brother Sun, you're back."
Jin Kui looked up at Lao Jiu.
"Yes, I just made a trip to Qiyuan Island myself. Besides confirming the death of the Golden Flower Ancestor, I also gained some unexpected information."
The Ninth Elder stood at the exit, his gaze sweeping over the dozen or so Star Palace Elders around the round table.
One of the Star Palace elders, dressed in a purple robe, twitched his eyelids slightly when he heard the words "Qiyuan Island".
"What unexpected gain?"
Jin Kui stopped tapping his fingers on the table.
"All the information recorded on Qiyuan Island is fabricated."
That place is no longer an ordinary alien sea monster island, but a place as prosperous as Kui Xing Island.
I believe there is a traitor within the Star Palace, someone is working in cahoots with them to prevent news from leaving the palace.
When the Ninth Elder spoke, he unleashed his full power.
"This...we have a traitor among us? No, that's impossible."
Seeing the tense situation, Elder Jia glanced at the Star Palace Elders around him.
"Impossible? The information about Qiyuan Island has been fabricated for so many years. It couldn't have been done by just the transformed demon beasts in the outer sea and a few Nascent Soul sects."
If Xinggong didn't have their inside agents, how could they have kept Qiyuan Island a secret for two or three decades?
Do you know what Qiyuan Island is like now?
The slender Ninth Elder took out a recording bead and displayed the recorded images inside.
Upon seeing the bustling streets and high-rise buildings of Qiyuan Island, the Nascent Soul elders present were shocked.
Its prosperity was not much different from that of Tianxing City and Kuixing Island.
They were all quite aware of the prosperity of Kuixing Island.
It was developed over fifty years after Qingyangmen took over.
Two or three decades ago, Qiyuan Island was a dilapidated and desolate island in the outer sea inhabited by monsters. Its current scale suggests that it is backed by more than one powerful force.
It is highly likely that the demon race that has transformed in the outer seas is secretly operating and controlling the human race in conjunction with the sects.
And Hoshimiya only just learned of this crucial information.
It's clear that there's something wrong within their constellation.
"Qiyuan Island has been secretly managed by transformed demonic beasts for twenty or thirty years. If it weren't for the incident of the Barbarian Beard killing the Golden Flower Ancestor..."
We're probably going to be kept in the dark forever, am I right, Elder Zou?
The gaunt Ninth Elder turned to look at the Star Palace Elder, who was dressed in a purple robe and had a pockmarked face.
"Ninth Elder, what do you mean by this?"
The burly man in the purple robe was named Zou Wen, and he was at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
At this moment, he stood up, his purple robe fluttering, and looked at Jin Kui, who was in the main seat.
"Elder, I have served the Star Palace for hundreds of years. Today, the Ninth Elder falsely accuses me of being a traitor. Where is the evidence?"
He looked around again, his gaze sweeping over the thirty-odd Star Palace Elders around the round table.
"Fellow colleagues, the monsters in the outer sea are eyeing us covetously; the righteous and demonic paths have grown stronger in recent years; and the Void Heaven Palace will open in twenty years."
At this time of internal and external troubles, instead of uniting us, the Ninth Elder wants to slander his colleagues. Does he want to cut off his own arm?
You're going to chill the hearts of everyone who works for the Star Palace!
Elder Zou's voice grew increasingly impassioned, even tinged with grief and indignation.
As soon as he finished speaking, a murmur arose around the round table.
"Yes, Elder Zou has a point. Without evidence, this is just..."
Several elders who were on good terms with Elder Zou looked hesitant, their gazes toward Jin Kui filled with complex emotions.
"Hehe, Elder Zou, you are in charge of intelligence management on the alien island."
Now, Qiyuan Island is fabricating intelligence. What do you say about that?
The Ninth Elder pointed at him and questioned him.
"I……"
Before Elder Zou could even speak in his defense, Jin Kui, who was sitting in the main seat, tapped the table again with his finger.
"Alright, stop arguing."
As soon as he spoke, the Sixth Elder, the beautiful woman, and all the other direct descendants of the Star Palace looked over.
"Old Zou, you have worked for the Star Palace for hundreds of years, so of course we will not doubt your loyalty."
"But you've always been in charge of intelligence work on the outer islands. You need to give everyone an explanation for this."
Jin Kui said.
"Elder, I have been in seclusion for the past ten years or so. The matter of Qiyuan Island was indeed due to my negligence and failure to properly supervise my subordinates' work."
I will conduct a thorough investigation as soon as I get back, and I will definitely root out the corrupt elements in the Star Palace.
Elder Zou bowed and clasped his hands, bowing his head to apologize to Jin Kui.
"Yes, Lao Zou, we old folks still believe in you. Find the corrupt officials and don't let us down."
Jin Kui nodded in acknowledgment and smiled, letting the matter drop.
"Yes, please rest assured, Elder, I will not let any traitor who betrays the Star Palace go unpunished."
Elder Zou had an imperious and incorruptible demeanor.
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now and continue discussing the Void Heaven Palace. It will be about twenty years before the Void Heaven Palace opens."
This time, we need to involve both the righteous and demonic paths, and also let the small and medium-sized sects know that the Void Heaven Palace is full of opportunities.
The more people who go in, the easier it will be for us to weaken them…
Kim Kyu spoke from the head seat.
The Star Palace still needs manpower. We can address the internal problems by giving them a talking-to and getting them to admit their mistakes.
Then, Jin Kui began to deliver an important speech, and the elders of the Star Palace took out jade slips and recorded the contents of the speech in detail.
Important instructions were given regarding the development of the situation in the Chaotic Star Sea and the living environment of human cultivators.
"Everything is for the glory of the Star Palace, may the Star Palace live forever!"
At the end of his speech, Kim Kyu led the recitation of the Star Palace Declaration.
"For the glory of the Star Palace! Forever the Star Palace!"
"For the glory of the Star Palace! Forever the Star Palace!"
The elders of the Star Palace all echoed Jin Kui's call.
