Chapter 1235 The Truth (1)

"So this is the Star Gazing Palace." Standing on the deck, Yun Lintian looked at various tall towers below with great interest. As its name suggested, the Star Gazing Palace was surely full of star-gazing towers.

"These towers are forming a star diagram to attract the star energy." On the side, Long Ying said.

In order to ensure Yun Lintian's safety, Long Jinwei insisted on letting her accompany Yun Lintian on this trip. In the end, Yun Lintian had no choice but to accept it.

Yun Lintian nodded slightly as he looked at the twenty-odd towers below attracting star energy.

"Who's there!?" A cold voice resounded, and a middle-aged man appeared in the air several meters from the skyship.

Yun Lintian wasn't surprised about it as he intentionally came here without concealing his aura.

He looked at the old man and said. "I am Yun Lintian. Tell your ancestor that I have something to ask him."

As he spoke this, he prepared to engage in battle at any moment. However, the next scene surprised him greatly.

The middle-aged man wasn't angry as Yun Lintian expected. Instead, he became respectful and said. "It turns out to be Sect Master Yun. Ancestor has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."

Yun Lintian glanced at Long Ying and saw the latter frown slightly.

"As expected from an old fox like him… What is your decision?" Long Ying asked through a sound transmission.

Yun Lintian didn't think about it much and readily accepted the middle-aged man's invitation. "Let's go."

"This way, please." The middle-aged man made an inviting gesture and flew away.

Yun Lintian took Linlin, Qingqing, and Long Ying with him and followed the middle-aged man behind.

Soon, the middle-aged man brought Yun Lintian's group to the plum blossom garden. This place looked ordinary, but in fact, it was full of formations.

"Ancestor, Sect Master Yun is here." The middle-aged man stood at the entrance and said respectfully.

"Oh? He's here? Let him enter." Xing Tengfei's voice resounded from a distance.

"Yes." The middle-aged man bowed and made an inviting gesture toward Yun Lintian. "Please."

Yun Lintian nodded and took a step into the garden, followed closely by Long Ying.

The two of them walked along a passage full of plum trees on both sides for a while before arriving at an open space with a small pond and a pavilion at the center.

​ Inside the pavilion, Yun Lintian saw an old man clad in plain white calmly sip a tea. His body exuded no aura, but Yun Lintian could feel abundant energy within it. It was even more abundant than Long Shen.

This person was no other than the ancestor of the Star Gazing Palace, Xing Tengfei.

"You're here? Please take a seat." Xing Tengfei put down the teacup and turned to look at Yun Lintian. His face was calm as if Yun Lintian and he weren't enemies before.

While Long Ying looked at Xing Tengfei vigilantly, Yun Lintian calmly walked into the pavilion and sat opposite Xing Tengfei.

Xing Tengfei poured four cups of tea for everyone and glanced at Linlin and Qingqing. "As expected from the legendary divine beast and true spirit. They are surely extraordinary."

He took a sip of tea and said further. "Presumably, you are here for the world's core matter. Am I correct?"

Yun Lintian didn't seem surprised by Xing Tengfei's prediction. He calmly sipped the tea and said. "Indeed. I am here for this matter."

Xing Tengfei looked at the young man strangely and asked. "You're not afraid I will put poison in it?"

"Did you?" Yun Lintian put the cup down and asked with a smile.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Xing Tengfei suddenly laughed. "Haha! You're really as what people said. If I don't see your bone's age by myself, I definitely think you are an old monster."

"It's not surprising that Xing Chen and Lan Cao died in your hands."

Yun Lintian had no intention of talking about this topic further. He asked. "Can you tell me now?"

Xing Tengfei didn't explain right away. Instead, he asked. "How much do you know about this matter?"

Yun Lintian shook his head. "I don't know much. The only thing I know is that you're making a deal with someone."

"So the one who sneaked around that day was indeed my good grandson Xing Chen." Xing Tengfei said calmly.

Yun Lintian's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. Since Xing Tengfei knew that someone was spying on him. Why didn't he do anything?

Xing Tengfei seemed to see through Yun Lintian's mind. He explained. "In everyone's eyes, I am a ruthless man that can kill anyone to achieve my goal, but I am not heartless enough to kill my blood-related descendant. Especially a good seedling like Xing Chen."

"Furthermore, I was the only one who discovered this at that time. Once I made a move, Weilan Jian and Du Shoushan would never let Xing Chen go... Besides, that information is not that important. Even if it did leak out in the end, it wouldn't affect me much."

"On the contrary, Xing Chen is not a stupid person. He will never tell this to anyone because he will expose himself by doing that."

Yun Lintian nodded slightly as it made sense. It seemed Xing Tengfei knew his grandson like the back of his hand.

Xing Tengfei leaned back slightly and said. "Four thousand years ago, before the war had occurred, we had received a contact from a man who called himself Myriad Star Divine Emperor."

"This person claimed to be a Divine Emperor of the Myriad Star Realm. It wasn't me, Weilan Jian, and Du Shoushan who he had contacted but also various powerhouses… Your Ancestor, Yun Wushuang, was also one of them."

"This Myriad Star Divine Emperor offered us various opportunities in exchange for us to take the world's core out and giving it to him. As for me, he said that I am suitable to practice his Myriad Star Divine Art and wanted to accept me into his faction."

"So it's him!" Hongyue's voice suddenly resounded in Yun Lintian's mind.
