Chapter 1390: Chapter 1390: Comprehending Once More, Star Illusion Swordsmanship

Outside the Main Mansion.

A group of martial artists halted instantly under Ximen Guye’s cold aura.

Ximen Guye was ranked third among the Eighteen Mansions’s Talents.

With a Ninth Layer of Saint King Realm cultivation, he was enough to look down on any martial artist present.

His strength was even enough to surpass the Saint Emperor Realm.

These ordinary Saint King Realm martial artists dared not approach the Main Mansion half a step.

"Xiao Yi, what about you?" Ximen Guye coldly glanced at Xiao Yi inside the Main Mansion.

Although his tone was not as harsh as it was towards the ordinary martial artists, it was just as icy. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The woman addressed as "Sister Yue" also sighed, "Young Master Xiao Yi, I advise you not to touch the bottom line of our Heavenly Star Prefecture and Heavenly Slaughter Mansion."

Xiao Yi turned a deaf ear and didn’t bother responding; he was frowning right now.

Because, with his palm laid on the stone altar, he couldn’t even absorb a bit of the Starlight Power, let alone cultivate.

"What’s going on?" Xiao Yi frowned deeply.

Outside the Main Mansion, Gongsun Huowu sneered, "Xiao Yi, you sure have a cunning plan."

"You lurked and followed us only to suddenly erupt after the appearance of the Main Mansion, even bringing out the lost Heavenly Star Lamp."

"But you can’t control the prohibition of the Heavenly Star Stone Altar at all, nor can you absorb the Starlight Power. No matter how well you plan, what use is it?"

"Without the blood of the direct descendants of the Heavenly Star Prefecture, no one can control the Heavenly Star Stone Altar..."

Gongsun Huowu spoke triumphantly, but before he could finish, two pairs of cold eyes stopped him.

"Foolish." Ximen Guye rebuked coldly.

"Idiot." Sister Yue glared at Gongsun Huowu.

"Oh no." Gongsun Huowu quickly covered his mouth, his expression changing.

"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled playfully, "So that’s how it is."

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, a trace of unease flashed through Guu Lianxing’s heart.

And this premonition came true just a second later.

Xiao Yi grabbed Guu Lianxing’s arm.

"I have to trouble you, Miss Lianxing." Xiao Yi smiled lightly, as a sharp sword qi gathered at his fingertips.

The speed of the sword qi was incredibly fast, far exceeding the reaction of anyone present.

But when everyone reacted, a blood line had already appeared on Guu Lianxing’s slender hand.

Blood slowly flowed from the wound.

"You..." Ximen Guye instantly erupted in rage.

"Lianxing." Gongsun Huowu exclaimed.

The two instantly made a move.

"How dare you, little thief, injure my Young Master." A group of Heavenly Star Mansion martial artists also burst into action.

Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, "Enough chattering, too noisy."

"Get out."

Xiao Yi waved his hand, as if dancing with the sword qi that struck instantly.

Under the sword qi, there was no match.

Ximen Guye, Gongsun Huowu, and the Heavenly Star Mansion martial artists were instantly blasted out of the Main Mansion.

Bang...

A huge stone fell with a bang on the main gate, sealing it shut.

Outside the Main Mansion.

Everyone stared blankly at the sudden change.

Ximen Guye, Gongsun Huowu, and others showed unprecedented worry.

"Damn it, the entrance to the Main Mansion is sealed." Ximen Guye wore an icy expression.

"You bastard, Xiao Yi, release Lianxing immediately." Gongsun Huowu charged at the huge stone in a frenzy.

The whip in her hand transformed into red flying strands, striking the stone continuously.

However, the stone was part of the Main Mansion structure; with her strength, it was impossible to move it an inch.

"Bastard." Gongsun Huowu’s face turned crimson with rage, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, but she felt no pain.

"Xiao Yi, if Lianxing even gets a scratch, I, Gongsun Huowu, swear, Heavenly Rope Prefecture will be at endless odds with you until death."

A group of Heavenly Star Prefecture martial artists looked guilty.

"It’s all our fault for being too weak to protect the Young Master."

"If anything happens to Young Master, we are guilty even in death."

Sister Yue shook her head, her face cold, "Lianxing is too kind-hearted; she shouldn’t have trusted this Xiao Yi from the beginning."

"If she hadn’t let this thief follow from the start, today’s events wouldn’t have happened."

"The dense starlight within the Heavenly Star Forbidden Land is her lifeline, and if she’s not careful, she could harm herself."

Ximen Guye bit his lip, "The dense starlight is just a minor issue."

"That Xiao Yi, infamous and notorious for his vile deeds."

"Lianxing alone inside the Main Mansion, I’m afraid this Xiao Yi might commit some heinous acts."

Ximen Guye wore a deeply worried expression.

Gongsun Huowu’s face flushed red, her fists tightening to the point where nails pierced flesh without her noticing.

...

Inside the Main Mansion.

Guu Lianxing was equally stunned by the sudden change.

However, on her pale face, there was no fear, only a frown directed at Xiao Yi.

Noticing this gaze, Xiao Yi frowned and asked, "What?"

Guu Lianxing slightly furrowed her brows, "Lianxing just can’t believe I could be so wrong about someone."

"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled, once again grabbing Guu Lianxing’s arm.

That arm, white and tender like solid cream, was very beautiful.

"What are you trying to do?" Guu Lianxing finally showed a trace of panic.

"What do you think?" Xiao Yi retorted, his fingers slightly shifting.

A primordial power burst from his fingertips and then slid smoothly.

The blood mark on Guu Lianxing’s arm vanished instantly.

The next second, Xiao Yi placed Guu Lianxing’s hand on the stone altar, then let go.

On the stone altar, a few drops of blood from Guu Lianxing’s arm remained.

Xiao Yi glanced at it, walked to the other side, placed his hand on the stone altar, then closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Ever since the blood on Guu Lianxing’s arm dripped onto the stone altar, Xiao Yi could already manipulate the prohibition within the Main Mansion through these few drops of blood.

However, the control level was not high.

The stone gate that fell just now was one of the Main Mansion’s protective prohibitions.

As for the others, Xiao Yi couldn’t control them.

If guessed right, the 18th Heavenly Star Lamp was what the ancestors of the Heavenly Star Prefecture used, imprinted with essence.

Therefore, the descendants of Heavenly Star Prefecture could control a sliver of prohibition through bloodline power.

The entire prohibition of the Main Mansion was enhanced by 18 High Grade Holy Artifact-level Heavenly Star Lamps.

To control the entire prohibition, one must control all 18 Heavenly Star Lamps.

And to control the 18 Heavenly Star Lamps, the prohibition must be broken.

This is essentially a deadlock with only absolute strength far beyond the prohibition that could ignore it entirely.

But currently, only one Heavenly Star Lamp could be controlled; naturally, the controllable prohibition was only a sliver.

But it’s enough, activating the cultivation effect suffices.

On the other side, feeling the continuous influx of starlight power into her body with her hand on the stone altar, Guu Lianxing also stared suspiciously at Xiao Yi.

Seeing Xiao Yi closing his eyes to cultivate, not paying her any attention, she sighed in relief and managed a knowing smile.

Then, she too closed her eyes and began to cultivate.

Xiao Yi, on his side, also felt that astonishingly dense starlight power.

However, this dense starlight power, he did not use for absorption or to enhance cultivation.

Instead, he used it to... comprehend Star Illusion Swordsmanship.
