Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 859 - 858: The Whole Story

Rumble!

Almost instantly, the second Flower of Slaughter Law condensed successfully on Chu Ming's arm, as dazzling as blood.

"Continue!"

The Slaughter Heavenly Dao Law descended, and within the cultivation room, the Slaughter Law was so dense it was almost tangible.

...

Pegasus Star, Residential Area.

Here lies a vast expanse of palatial estates, as Pegasus Star is the main star of the Pegasus Star System, gathering almost fifty to sixty percent of its top combat power.

Most in the residential area are estates, with palaces few and far between. The Pegasus Star hosts numerous family powers, most being Seventh Grade, with about a dozen Sixth Grades, while the only Fifth Grade power on Pegasus Star is Black Rock Island, anchored by three Saint Dao experts.

In the Pegasus Star System, Black Rock Island is the undisputed overlord.

The Lin Family, one of the many Sixth Grade powers on Pegasus Star, has an elder who is a Martial Artist of the Eighth Layer Emperor Dao, known for his strength across the star.

At the Lin Family estate, an old man in a green robe rushed frantically from outside to the Lin Family's discussion hall, his expression anxious.

"Patriarch, Patriarch, I must see the Patriarch!"

The green-robed man shouted urgently, and with the guards reporting along the way, he soon arrived at the Lin Family's discussion hall.

The Lin Family Patriarch was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe, whose face showed maturity, his temples slightly graying, his eyes sharp and seemingly calm.

This is the Lin Family Patriarch, Lin Xiao, a Fifth Heaven of Emperor Dao expert.

"What has happened? What's going on outside causing such a fuss?"

Seeing the green-robed man, Lin Xiao scolded coldly.

"Patriarch, something major has happened concerning the Guo Family of the Iron River Star System..."

The green-robed man respectfully reported under Lin Xiao, his expression grim.

"Oh? It's about the Guo Family?"

Lin Xiao's expression became serious, and his initial blame for the green-robed elder reduced considerably.

Lin Xiao knew the Guo Family issues quite well; it was currently the most important matter to the Lin Family.

The Lin Family owns an Ice Rock Ore site, famed for its production; Ice Rock Ore is a type of ore used to forge lower grade imperial artifacts. Although not considered precious, a fist-sized piece could be worth tens of thousands of lower grade spirit crystals on the market.

Thanks to Ice Rock Ore, the Lin Family accumulated considerable wealth, allowing rapid progress.

The Guo Family issue originated with the Purple Gold Trading Company, which wanted to buy a large amount of Ice Rock Ore for imperial artifact forging. Although initially agreed upon with the Lin Family in terms of price, the Lin Family suddenly raised the price, angering the Purple Gold Trading Company, causing them to seek Ice Rock Ore from other star systems.

The Guo Family of the Iron River Star System became one of their chosen objects for purchase. The Purple Gold Trading Company needed so much Ice Rock Ore that no other family apart from the Lin Family could supply it, hence the Guo Family was merely one of their options.

The Purple Gold Trading Company's actions displeased the Lin Family, who wanted to profit heavily from them. If they purchased from another family, their plan would fail, so the Lin Family elder went to the Black Dragon's Lair, spoke to the Black Dragon Daoist, and promised many benefits to intercept the Guo Family's spaceship.

"Has the Guo Family's spaceship reached Pegasus Star then?"

Lin Xiao furrowed his brow, contemplating slightly. He understood why the green-robed man panicked.

"You are wise, Patriarch. The Guo Family spaceship has indeed reached Pegasus Star!"

The green-robed elder carefully answered and subtly flattered Lin Xiao.

"Damn it, the people at Black Dragon's Lair are useless!"

Lin Xiao's expression became suddenly unpleasant, spoken coldly, evident of his hatred in his tone.

Of course, he could only curse behind their back; facing the people of Black Dragon's Lair, he wouldn't dare say such. The founder of Black Dragon's Lair, Black Dragon Daoist, is a Saint Dao expert capable of annihilating a Sixth Grade power like the Lin Family effortlessly.

"Patriarch, now that the Guo Family spaceship has arrived, the first batch of Ice Rock Ore will surely be sold to the Purple Gold Trading Company. In the future, the Guo Family's spaceship transporting Ice Rock Ore will certainly have the Purple Gold Trading Company's experts on board, making it hard for us to strike again."

The green-robed elder analyzed carefully.

"I already know all of this!"

Lin Xiao waved his hand; whatever the green-robed elder thought, as the Lin Family patriarch, how could he not have thought of it? The Guo Family was only a Seventh Grade power, inferior to the Lin Family. If they were not outside the Pegasus Star System, Lin Xiao would have exterminated the entire Guo Family long ago.

"Something is amiss. The Guo Family elder is just a Fourth Layer Emperor Dao expert, surely sitting at the Guo Family headquarters. Hence, the protection of the spaceship could only be by a Third Layer Emperor Dao Martial Artist. Black Dragon's Lair should have been able to handle a Third Layer Emperor Dao Martial Artist..."

Lin Xiao furrowed his brow deeply, pondering stubbornly and murmured.

"Reporting to the Patriarch, I know some information about the personnel on the Guo Family spaceship!"

The green-robed elder's eyes brightened, knowing it was his moment to shine as he heard Lin Xiao's self-murmurs.

"Oh, speak quickly!"

Lin Xiao ordered.

"Yes, Patriarch!"

The green-robed elder cleared his throat and spoke softly, "I heard that leading the Guo Family spaceship this time is the Guo Family's Third Elder, a Martial Artist of the Second Layer Emperor Dao. While passing through Black Dragon's Lair, they did encounter attacks by Star Pirates of the Black Dragon's Lair. However, at the crucial moment, a young man named Chu Ming resolved the problem, even slaughtering all the Star Pirates of the Black Dragon's Lair."

"That is why the Guo Family spaceship reached Pegasus Star safely."

Everything the green-robed elder stated came from the mouths of the Guo Family guards. After all, there were many witnesses to Chu Ming's display of power at that time, and most guards were not family members of the Guo Family. Slight inducements told the green-robed elder everything.

"Oh, a young man named Chu Ming? Is his cultivation possibly higher than the Guo Family's Third Elder?"

Lin Xiao's eyes darkened, pondering how Chu Ming was disrupting the Lin Family's plans, essentially challenging the Lin Family's reputation. If he meets Chu Ming in the future, he will not let him go.

"No, according to the Guo Family guards, Chu Ming's cultivation is only half-step Emperor Dao. But he has comprehended a Flower of Law; the burst power is not less than an ordinary Second Layer Emperor Dao. Also, he possesses a lower grade imperial artifact, which at full exertion, even ordinary Third Layer Emperor Dao finds difficult to contend with. The leader of the Black Dragon's Lair squad was slain by Chu Ming."

The green-robed elder spoke in a whisper, revealing everything he knew.
