NOVEL NEXT Chapter 288 Lord's Discerning Eye
"Left Libationer Meng Yanhui of Dachen wishes to see the Lord. Shall you meet with him or not?"
In the main hall of Cangming Star Hall, upon hearing the report from the Great Elder Sun Xianzu, the Cangming Star Lord was somewhat surprised.
The Lougong Battle had just ended, and all parties were already preparing for the Nine-Star Tide. What was Left Libationer Meng Yanhui doing by coming here now?
Boasting about the achievements in the Lougong Battle?
Impossible.
Cheng Yuxiao was not that foolish.
"Then..."
Suddenly, the Cangming Star Lord realized the purpose of Meng Yanhui's visit.
Less than two hours after the conclusion of the Lougong Battle, Meng Yanhui had arrived in the capacity of an envoy, indicating that this matter was likely related to the Lougong Battle.
It seemed Cheng Yuxiao had indeed recognized the potential crisis.
The reason for Meng Yanhui's visit was quite clear now.
"Did Meng Yanhui explain his purpose?" the Cangming Star Lord had a scheme in mind. Unless it was urgent, he would keep Meng Yanhui waiting for half a day first.
Since Cheng Yuxiao sent Meng Yanhui to show goodwill, the initiative was on their side. By holding back a little, he reckoned Cheng Yuxiao wouldn't dare say anything.
"Lord, Meng Yanhui claimed that the disciples from the National Taoist Institute of Dachen had discovered some strange matters in the Fifth-tier Star Domain and wished to notify the Star Lord," the Great Elder Sun Xianzu said.
This answer, however, was unexpected for the Cangming Star Lord.
Strange matters discovered within the Fifth-tier Star Domain?
What could be so strange that Cheng Yuxiao would refer to it as such?
This piqued the curiosity of the Cangming Star Lord.
"Let's meet him then! It better not be a tease or else..."
The Cangming Star Lord smiled wryly. He was well aware of what Cheng Yuxiao had in mind and the current situation.
At the moment, Tianyang Star Hall had suffered both humiliation and substantial losses.
Dachen, standing over Tianyang Star Hall at the forefront, also boasted an unparalleled genius who had won six Gold Stars.
Under such circumstances, the Tianyang Star Lord might use the situation to suppress Dachen.
If Tianyang Star Hall intended to oppress Dachen on its own, they could, but the cost might not be what Tianyang Star Lord wanted to see.
Eventually, the Tianyang Star Lord would surely seek to join forces with Cangming Star Hall to suppress Dachen.
The same old story.
Then, Cangming Star Hall could gain a lot with little effort.
Twenty years ago was a good haul.
Now, if the Tianyang Star Lord had such a desire, they at Cangming Star Hall would naturally be willing to cooperate.
Who wouldn't want a share of the meat!
"Subject Meng Yanhui pays respects to the Lord," beneath the treasured seat of the Star Hall, Meng Yanhui bowed deeply in salute.
"Rise, Yanhui. What strange discovery has brought you hurrying to see me?" inquired the Cangming Star Lord.
Meng Yanhui bowed again and, without beating around the bush, began to take out various items from the Sumeru Space.
Two Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pills, several tattered garments, a Sixth-Rank Star Jade Tablet, and two Fifth Order Star Jade Tablets were laid out before the Cangming Star Lord.
Then, without a word, he simply cupped his hands in a gesture for the Cangming Star Lord to take a look.
"Ah, you've turned this into a riddle, I see. Let's have a look."
The mannerisms of Meng Yanhui made the Cangming Star Lord chuckle as he inspected the items.
"The Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Pill, is this the work of the Blood God Sect? It looks high ranking. Did the disciples of National Daoist Institute of Dachen discover a Blood God Son within the Fifth-tier Star Domain?" the Cangming Star Lord asked.
"Lord has keen insight," Meng Yanhui responded with a small flattery, but said nothing further.
The Cangming Star Lord's powerful Divine Soul Power glanced over the remaining three items and then he frowned.
"This Sixth Rank Star Jade tablet is of the Fire Series; the refinement technique is extremely sophisticated, truly top-grade. The Star Power within the Star Jade is almost brought to the point of perfect containment, and the fundamental technique of its emblem creation is very similar to that of the Fifth Order Star Jade Tablets.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the exclusive fundamental emblem production technique of the Emblem Grandmaster lineage related to Guan Zhuo from Tianyang Star Hall, known as the Burning Star Technique.
Does this mean that these Star Jade Tablets are products of Tianyang Star Hall?
And they were also discovered by your martial participants in the Fifth-tier Star Domain?
Are you suggesting that your martial participants found the hands of Tianyang Star Hall in the Fifth-tier Star Domain?" asked the Cangming Star Lord.
"Lord has keen insight!" Meng Yanhui complimented once more.
The gaze of the Cangming Star Lord fell upon the tattered garments, and after a few moments of attention, he could not discern anything special and turned his gaze to the Great Elder Sun Xianzu.
As Sun Xianzu was also not proficient in the quality of garments, he immediately took them to the specialized apparel bureau of the Star Hall. It wasn't long before he returned.
"Lord, the apparel bureau says the fabric and sewing technique of these garments all originate from Dahong. Furthermore, the stitching is delicate and tight, with animal hide thread within the garments, not something an ordinary tailor could produce," the Great Elder Sun Xianzu reported.
Hearing this, the eyes of Tianyang Star Lord narrowed, "Meng Yanhui, with these items, are you proving to me that the Blood God Son truly appeared in the Fifth-tier Star Domain and that the hand of Tianyang Star Hall was also present in that Fifth-tier Star Domain?"
"Lord has keen insight."
Meng Yanhui saluted.
"What exactly are you trying to convey? That there's collusion between Tianyang Star Hall and the Blood God Son?" the Cangming Star Lord's mouth curled into a sly smile.
Whether it was Baidou Divine Sect or Blood God Sect, due to the special nature of their powers, there were always connections behind closed doors despite the official efforts to suppress them.
Sometimes, mutual benefits were not unheard of.
"Lord, within that Fifth-tier Star Domain, there are four clans. This Blood God Son has already controlled two of them. Given time, it is inevitable that he will unify the entire Fifth-tier Star Domain."
