Chapter 674: Chapter 274: Lips Die, Teeth Feel the Cold (Request for Monthly Pass)

Galaxy Commander Mansion Secret Realm.

There were only eighteen two-hour periods left until the end of the Lougong Battle, so it was time for the Star Spirit to release the new rankings and points.

Last time they were announced, most of the Star Palaces had almost been surpassed by Dachen.

Especially the third-ranked Cangming Star Hall and the fourth-ranked Doom-suppressing Star Palace could only feel fortunate.

Luckily, when the rules were being set, Cheng Yuxiao insisted on changing the rule that, once the first place’s points surpassed the fourth place’s by twice, additional tributes would be required.

Otherwise, the Doom-suppressing Star Lord would be crying now.

Because then, their points at the Doom-suppressing Star Hall would have been surpassed by Dachen by twice already, and they would have had to increase their tribute by an additional 5%.

Given that the Doom-suppressing Star Palace already ranked last and had to provide an additional 5% tribute compared to previous years, having to add yet another 5% would mean that numerous people from the Barbarian Clan would truly face starvation in the upcoming three years.

This penalty on points, initially insisted upon by Cheng Yuxiao, where the first place had to have twice the points of the fourth place to increase the tribute by 5%, now seemed improbable.

Looking at it now, Cheng Yuxiao’s insistence essentially protected the Doom-suppressing Star Palace.

Although the Cangming Star Lord and Emperor Dachu had no such worries, they were still very annoyed.

Because Dachu’s rank had dropped from second to third.

Looking at it now, surpassing the second-ranked Dahong seemed impossible, let alone surpassing the first-ranked Dachen.

It was already a foregone conclusion they would have to provide an additional 5% tribute this year.

The ones who looked most dismayed were Emperor Dahong and the Tianyang Star Lord.

However, they weren’t distressed over the additional 5% tribute—Tianyang Star Hall and the vast family business of Dahong could easily bear that half percent.

But losing the iron-clad first place was truly the most distressing issue.

The implications were far more significant.

As this suggested that Tianyang Star Hall was on a downhill trajectory from a ranking perspective.

This was a very bad sign.

What was more fatal was that, six two-hour periods ago, the Star Spirit had announced that Dachen’s points were almost twice those of Tianyang Star Hall.

If they really surpassed them, it would be embarrassing not only for Tianyang but Dahong would also have to bear the additional half percent tribute that Dachen was supposed to pay.

This increase and decrease widened the gap significantly.

Thus, although it wasn’t the final moment of the Lougong Battle, it was still critical, so both the Tianyang Star Lord and Emperor Dahong had come.

Moreover, they had come early as they had another matter to discuss.

Suddenly, a flash of starlight, and Great Chen Imperial Master Cheng Yuxiao took his seat.

As he sat down, Tianyang Star Lord immediately spoke, "State Preceptor Cheng, Dachen is really surging forward."

"Moderately." Cheng Yuxiao smiled indifferently, feigning modesty, which only irked the Tianyang Star Lord.

"Hehe, Dachen has truly risen abruptly this time! It seems like Dachen’s strength has suddenly doubled. This makes me think of a possibility," said the Tianyang Star Lord.

"What possibility? Please, Star Lord, do tell," said Cheng Yuxiao.

"I think that the previously mysterious genius who picked six Golden Stars might need to be revealed. This genius who picked six Golden Stars must be a disciple of yours, right?" the Tianyang Star Lord said.

After the Tianyang Star Lord finished speaking, Emperor Dahong, already poised to strike, along with the angered Cangming Star Lord and Emperor Dachu, all turned their gaze towards Cheng Yuxiao, determined to force out this genius who had picked six Golden Stars.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Cheng Yuxiao suddenly spread his hands and then gave a thumbs-up to the Tianyang Star Lord, "Star Lord is wise. The genius disciple who picked six Golden Stars is indeed Xu Jin, this session’s autumn leader from Dachen.

He comprehended two Sixth Tier Star Patterns and used them to pick six Golden Stars, then in one fell swoop, pushed our Dachen’s Fire Series Star Pattern to the mid-Seventh Tier.

It substantially raised the strength of our Dachen!

Our Great Cheng National Daoist School’s Academician Kou Jing also broke through to Seventh Tier because of this mid-Seventh Tier Fire Origin Star Pattern."

He had confessed.

No more pretending!

Cheng Yuxiao’s confession, however, left the others on-site feeling so vexed they wanted to vomit blood.

They had prepared their sharp tongues and ample evidence to pressure Cheng Yuxiao into admitting it.

But they hadn’t expected that as soon as Tianyang Star Lord opened his mouth, Cheng Yuxiao would straightforwardly confess.

It felt like punching a cotton ball.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the Secret Realm pressurized to its maximum.

There it was!

He had admitted it!

What else could they do?

Picking the Golden Stars wasn’t some unforgivable grave crime.

Could they force Cheng Yuxiao to execute Xu Jin?

Snap!

The next moment, Emperor Dahong suddenly slammed the table and stood up, roaring at Cheng Yuxiao, "Great State Preceptor, then why didn’t you admit it earlier? You’ve caused so much turmoil!"

Cheng Yuxiao glared at Emperor Dahong, "Admit it? Am I stupid?"

"If I had admitted it, your Tianyang Star Hall and Cangming Star Hall would have sent people to assassinate my brilliant disciple of Dachen!

If I had admitted it, would I just watch you repeatedly try to wipe out all my brilliant disciples?

What, it’s wrong to pick Golden Stars now?

Also, Your Majesty, should I provide you with evidence of assassination?"

Snap!

Cheng Yuxiao directly slapped a piece of Jade down.

The message was clear—if you keep nagging about this, let’s just have an outright confrontation.

Emperor Dahong’s face suddenly turned very unsightly. frёewebηovel.cѳm

This... issue, if judged from the perspective of righteousness, really couldn’t be argued...

"Hehe, Your Majesty didn’t mean that, he was just a bit agitated," Tianyang Star Lord laughingly smoothed things over, and Emperor Dahong sat back down.

Actually, Emperor Dahong wasn’t that foolish; it was just that Tianyang needed someone to step forward, thus Emperor Dahong had no choice but to play the role of the advanced soldier, doing something not very wise.
