Chapter 459: Chapter 262: Tao En’s Revenge

Tao En didn’t even spare Ju Jiasu, Cao Xing’an’s niece and a Celestial Destiny Seeker.

Never mind Longya City—across the entire Xin Xia Federation, the public killing of a Celestial Destiny Seeker had only happened once, several decades ago.

When Tao En prepared to strike Ju Jiasu, many of Longya City’s Celestial Destiny Seekers tried to intervene.

This ignited a raging fury within Tao En.

Once the fury subsided, all that remained in Tao En’s heart was a desolate sorrow.

So it turned out that these Celestial Destiny Seekers in Longya City, who always prattled on about the greater good, were perfectly capable of taking action for a specific person.

Yet back when Cao Xing’an sent people to kill him and his granddaughter, not a single person had stepped in to help.

After Zhong Yi and Wen Tao, in their capacity as Celestial Destiny Seekers from Starlight City, sheltered him and his granddaughter and brought them to live at the Celestial Destiny Society, two Celestial Destiny Seekers from Longya City actually came to persuade them to stop.

Originally, Tao En had only planned to kill Ju Jiasu and not take revenge on the Ju Family, who had marriage ties to the Cao Family, or any of the distant relatives who relied on them.

But this rage and desolation made the once good-natured Tao En fully reveal his ferocious and ruthless side.

"A feud shouldn’t extend to the family"—that was the phrase the Celestial Destiny Seekers of Longya City had been repeating in his ear for the past few days.

But if a feud truly doesn’t extend to the family, why did the Bizarre assassin Cao Xing’an sent to kill him also target Tao Niannian?

For this reason, Tao En stayed in Longya City for two extra days.

Thanks to Tao En, every faction in Longya City with ties to the Cao and Ju Families was completely wiped out.

When facing a mortal enemy, the only correct choice was to pull them out by the roots.

Otherwise, if anyone from the Cao or Ju Families survived to harbor resentment, they would only cause trouble for Zhong Yi.

Frost Day appeared cold and taciturn, but he was bloodthirsty to the bone.

If Star Night hadn’t been constantly suppressing Frost Day’s killing intent, he might not have become a Guardian of Starlight City. Instead, he would have chosen to live freely, indulging his every whim.

In Frost Day’s eyes, "a life for a life and a debt paid in full" was the natural order of things.

After learning what Tao En had gone through, Frost Day even felt a sliver of contempt for the man.

If Tao En had just been ruthless after becoming a Five-finger Peak Creator and eliminated the problem of Cao Xing’an, he wouldn’t have had to endure the subsequent decade of suffering.

However, Frost Day didn’t let any of this show. He was here to help Tao En with his revenge for the sole purpose of getting on good terms with him.

Frost Day had been exceptionally enthusiastic over the past few days, inwardly roaring with satisfaction.

Frost Day could already predict the outcome of this trip to Longya City with Tao En.

Red Dragon and the others in Longya City couldn’t stop him even if they wanted to, but the Dragon Emperor would surely inquire about the matter once he came out of seclusion.

Although the Dragon Emperor had joined the Royal Capital, the Long Family was still in Longya City.

Longya City had always been the Dragon Emperor’s home base, the city from which he’d risen to power, but Frost Day felt it didn’t matter.

After all, Star Night had always been the one to negotiate with the Dragon Emperor.

If the Dragon Emperor insisted on making a fuss, then worst-case scenario, he and Star Night would just have to fight him.

The Dragon Emperor wasn’t an idiot. There were only three publicly known experts at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level in the Xin Xia Federation; counting himself, there were four.

If the Dragon Emperor wanted to explore Secret Realms, he would have no choice but to ask for his and Star Night’s help.

After escorting Tao En back to Starlight City, Frost Day didn’t stay but instead set off for Fengjiang City.

The battle between the Shuojin Federation and the Mirage Sea Federation was still raging on.

As the city at the border between the two warring federations, Fengjiang City was inevitably subject to incursions.

Frost Day felt it would be more secure to watch over Fengjiang City in secret.

It would also be a good opportunity to assess the battlefield and eliminate any dangers.

That way, it would be safer and more convenient for Zhong Yi and his group when they arrived.

Zhong Yi didn’t go to see Tao En immediately, heading instead for the Star Frost Tower to meet with Star Night.

More important than handing over the treasure, the Star Meteorite Debris, Zhong Yi had other matters to discuss with Star Night.

These matters concerned not only Starlight City and the Xin Xia Federation, but the entire Guardian Beast World.

When Zhong Yi arrived at the Star Frost Tower, Star Night was on the top floor, gazing down at the wind-rippled surface of Star Frost Lake.

A day ago, both Star Night and the Fallen Star Night Qilin had made a full recovery from their injuries, a fact Star Night still found somewhat unreal.

The injury he’d sustained while trying to detain the Deceit Knight and the Prince of Deceit was the worst he had ever received since reaching the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations.

Yet in a little over ten days, such a grievous injury had healed completely.

Although Zhong Yi’s power was only at the Extraordinary Tier, in the Healing Domain, he had already reached the absolute pinnacle of the entire Xin Xia Federation.

Zhong Yi’s Order Beast was not only adept at mending physical wounds but also possessed a powerful Ability to heal injuries to the soul.

Tao En’s recovery was the best example of this.

"Xiaoyi, I knew you would come looking for me. I was waiting for you."

Once Zhong Yi saw Tao En, he would inevitably learn what Tao En had done in Longya City.

The matter had huge repercussions, and Zhong Yi was sure to come looking for him after he found out.

What he didn’t know was that Zhong Yi hadn’t gone to see Tao En at all; he had come straight to the Star Frost Tower after leaving the Second Level Secret Realm.

Star Night was just about to reassure Zhong Yi that he could handle any move Longya City might make.

But then he saw Zhong Yi take out a Crystal Bottle. Inside were several silver-black Crystal Stones that seemed to shimmer with a brilliant, starlit river.

Without Zhong Yi even opening the Crystal Bottle, Star Night could already feel the star-related Power of Rules contained within the Crystal Stones.

Star Night had logged onto the Virtual Source Network as long as thirty years ago.

He knew that on the Virtual Source Network, there was a type of item known as a treasure that could strengthen an Order Beast’s Rule Authority.

Such treasures had appeared before among some of the factions Star Night had encountered.

Each time, the final transaction price was over 120,000 Divine Origin Value, and that wasn’t including the additional conditions attached to the sale.

No matter how much Star Night coveted such a treasure, he could only admire it from afar.

For Star Night, taking the time to accumulate a few thousand points of Divine Origin Value was not difficult.

But saving up tens of thousands would severely limit his personal growth.

The best use for Divine Origin Value was to constantly exchange it for resources to improve one’s strength.

At the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations Level, Guardian Beast Masters held many advantages over experts who fought using their Bloodlines.

But Guardian Beast Masters also consumed vast amounts of resources. Raising a single Guardian Beast was a tremendous test of its master’s finances.

As Star Night watched Zhong Yi offer him the treasure, a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, and he instantly realized he had underestimated Zhong Yi.

’Zhong Yi couldn’t have just found a treasure like this lying on the ground. He must have either spent Divine Origin Value to purchase it on the Virtual Source Network or acquired it through some other means.’

Star Night didn’t probe into how exactly Zhong Yi had obtained such a treasure.

But even knowing this treasure would be of immense help to his Order Beast, the Fallen Star Night Qilin, and could even raise his own power by a significant tier, Star Night did not reach out to take the Star Meteorite Debris. Instead, he simply shook his head at Zhong Yi.

"Xiaoyi, you should know what a treasure like this means."

"You’re at a critical stage for increasing your strength right now. You need Divine Origin Value to improve."

"The Virtual Source Network has many materials that our Guardian Beast World doesn’t. You can use them to make your Guardian Beasts stronger."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi didn’t withdraw his outstretched hand. He just smiled at Star Night.

"I acquired this treasure specifically for you."

"Star Night, the stronger you are, the better you can protect me, right?"

"Two months ago, I founded a faction called Soul Soil."

"Brother Tao, Sister Zhuo, and Aunt Ying have all joined."

"I wonder, Star Night, would you be willing to join?"

Zhong Yi’s words were frank and open.

As he spoke, Zhong Yi had already placed the Star Meteorite Debris on the table beside Star Night.
