Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

And suddenly, everything was clear.

No wonder the Tianyang Star Lord could slip in unnoticed despite the Star Gate being closed.

Turns out there was an internal traitor facilitating.

Naturally, Haoyue wouldn’t agree to this.

But Vice Palace Master Zhang Fei said, ”If it’s the Palace Master’s last wish, it must be carried out. At that time, we would request the Lord to oversee the grand wedding ceremony.

However, with the Palace Master’s recent passing, as his children, we must first observe a three-year mourning period, which is a moral obligation. This grand wedding must be postponed for three years. We ask for Star Lord’s permission.”

”A moral obligation; naturally, that’s permissible.”

The Tianyang Star Lord wasn’t too concerned about this. His primary focus now was acquiring the Sumeru Palace’s inheritance.

Xu Jin’s mastery of space techniques combined with thunder star skills had invoked his deepest envy.

He believed that if he could master the Space Star Techniques, he could become like Xu Jin.

”Fine, but before that, I ask the Lord to uphold the previous agreement and swear a Great Dao Oath, ensuring that you will protect our Sumeru Palace for sixty years, prevent anyone from harming the young Palace Master Haoyue, and guarantee her continual residence in Sumeru Palace, along with her authority and freedom in the Sumeru Mini World,” Zhang Fei finally voiced the condition.

The Tianyang Star Lord’s expression turned cold, glaring at Zhang Fei for a long time before speaking, ”And what if I refuse to swear this Great Dao Oath?”

In response, Vice Palace Master Zhang Fei stood tall, looking back at the majestic and splendid Sumeru Palace behind him. Slowly, he placed his palm on the head of Haoyue, the young Palace Master, gazing at her full of doting affection,

”In life, the Palace Master adored our little Princess Haoyue the most, willing to give her anything and not letting her suffer the slightest bit. I watched her grow up, and naturally, I don’t want her to suffer in the future either.”

As he spoke, silvery Space Star Power emanated from his palm, enveloping Princess Haoyue’s entire body. ”If in the future she must endure suffering, then it would be better to send her off today to follow the Palace Master, it would be cleaner that way!”

”You dare!” The Tianyang Star Lord’s expression changed dramatically. However, Princess Haoyue, being wrapped in Space Star Power, it was too late, and he dared not make any reckless moves.

”Star Lord, in the entire Sumeru Palace, only Princess Haoyue has the freedom to impart the Sumeru Palace’s inheritance and open the Sumeru Space Secret Realm. Consider this,” said Zhang Fei.

Having said this, Zhang Fei ignored the Tianyang Star Lord. The Space Star Power around him surged, with his Divine Thought in full alert, turning to look at Princess Haoyue with two streams of cloudy tears rolling down his cheeks.

”Haoyue, don’t blame your Uncle Zhang! I’ll send you to your father soon, and it won’t hurt, not at all,” Zhang Fei said in a trembling voice.

Feeling the crisis, Haoyue’s delicate body trembled uncontrollably, yet she understood Zhang Fei’s intentions. This path of death was her only chance of survival.

To place oneself in danger for a chance at rebirth.

But Zhang Fei wasn’t joking.

If Tianyang Star Lord made any move, Zhang Fei would indeed kill her instantly!

This was the most brutal life-and-death gambit.

It wasn’t just mental fortitude.

The Tianyang Star Lord, such an old fox, wouldn’t be easily bluffing!

Only a real threat could maybe bring a shred of hope for survival.

Princess Haoyue, trembling all over, bit her lip until it bled, yet she nodded with determination.

”Uncle Zhang, I don’t blame... you, nor am I afraid!

You do it, I.... I won’t feel any pain!”

In an instant, the expression of the Tianyang Star Lord became extremely dark.

Zhang Fei, having reached the Late Eighth Tier but highly proficient in Space Star Techniques, had already set up his defense.

If he attacked with full force, at the fastest two strikes, and at the slowest three to four strikes, he could take down Zhang Fei.

But Zhang Fei needed just an instant to kill Haoyue.

The next moment, Tianyang Star Lord looked to his internal informant, Zong Yan, directly transmitting a question about the truthfulness of Zhang Fei’s words.
