Everyone in the world knew that the Star Gazing Palace was famous for the information gathering ability. It could be said there was nothing under the sky that they didn't know.
However, they didn't expect someone to actually feed them false information and deceive them for years. What was more ridiculous was that they didn't even notice it.
If the outsiders knew about this, all the reputations the Star Gazing Palace had accumulated for years would be gone instantly.
Xing Mu closed his eyes and leaned back, falling into deep contemplation. Since he was born, the Star Gazing Palace had never declined to this level before. If he was honest with himself, he didn't think this place had a future.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and said. "We will surrender to him."
"What!?" Xing Ye and many elders were stunned.
"Why did you give up before even trying, Elder Mu? Even though Yun Lintian is strong, it's not certain that he can withstand the formation." Xing Ye said in a deep voice. He was unwilling to see the Star Gazing Palace fall into Yun Lintian's hands.
"That's right! We cannot give up just like this."
"We're the Star Gazing Palace. How could we bow our head to an outsider?"
Several elders clamored one after the other. They used to have high status and enjoy various benefits. To let them leave these things, they'd rather fight to death.
Xing Mu watched as these people made noises. His face was calm, and there was no other emotion in his eyes.
After the voice slowly subsided, Xing Mu looked at Xing Ye and asked. "Are you sure you want to try it?"
Xing Ye hesitated inwardly, but he couldn't refuse now. He gritted his teeth and said. "Yes. I want to try."
Xing Mu looked at the elders who had clamored earlier and asked. "All of you as well?"
The elders glanced at each other and said. "Yes."
Xing Mu nodded slightly. "Very well. All of you can fight Yun Lintian as much as you want. At the same time, you have to bear the following consequence by yourself. I won't participate in it."
"What…" Xing Ye's expression changed drastically. Among everyone here, Xing Mu was the strongest. How could they fight Yun Lintian without him?
Xing Mu said further. "Those who decided to surrender can follow me. Although I can't guarantee everyone's safety, there's a higher chance of surviving than fighting Yun Lintian."
Sun Jia was the first person to speak. "I will follow Elder Mu."
As he spoke, he quickly walked to Xing Mu's side.
"Me too."
"And me."
Soon, there were only twenty people left by Xing Ye's side. The rest went to Xing Mu's side, waiting for Yun Lintian's arrival.
"This…" One of the elders on Xing Ye's side started to hesitate upon seeing this scene. The courage he had earlier had died down as well. Even Xing Tengfei couldn't fight Yun Lintian. Let alone twenty Monarchs. This was no different from courting death.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and moved to Xing Mu's side.
Seeing this, another nineteen elders beside Xing Ye glanced at each other and walked to Xing Mu's side, leaving Xing Ye standing there alone in a daze.
Xing Yu looked at his good brother and said. "Do you want to continue?"
"I…" Xing Ye came back to his sense, and his face flushed red in both embarrassment and anger. Even if he did use the Star Annihilation Formation, he was alone, after all. How could he fight Yun Lintian?
In the end, he let out a sigh and said. "Fine. We will surrender to him."
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
As his voice fell, a clapping sound suddenly resounded from the outside, causing everyone's face to change.
"Not bad. This saves a lot of my time." Yun Lintian slowly walked into the hall smiling, followed by Yun Qianxue and the others.
Seeing this, everyone's heart fell to the bottom. Yun Lintian had obviously arrived here a long time ago, but they couldn't even notice it. Even the alarming formation didn't trigger.
This meant if Yun Lintian wanted to kill them, they would have become cold corpses by now.
"I always heard someone from your palace say when the situation is bad, gamble; when the situation is good, play it safe. I thought all of you would take a gamble." Yun Lintian arrived at the center of the hall and said.
Xing Mu didn't dare to sit on the high seat anymore. He quickly walked down and said. "It was already a thing of the past. In front of the absolute strength like Sect Master Yun, who would be foolish enough to gamble?"
Hearing this, Xing Ye's face twitched slightly. Obviously, he was the fool in Xing Mu's words.
"Why are you so sure that I possess an absolute strength?" Yun Lintian asked with a strange smile.
Before Xing Mu could reply, Yun Lintian said further. "Open the formation and use it to attack me."
"What!?" Xing Mu and the others were stunned. They thought they had misheard something.
Xing Mu came back to his sense and looked into Yun Lintian's eyes. Immediately, he knew that Yun Lintian wasn't joking about it.
On the side, Xing Ye was overjoyed inwardly. He couldn't wait to activate the formation right away.
Xing Mu went silent for a moment and said. "Since Sect Master Yun said so, I won't stop you. However, I have to remind you that the formation is extremely lethal."
"Don't worry." Yun Lintian was lazy to say further.
Xing Mu glanced at the elders behind him and said. "Activate the formation."
With a swoosh, Xing Ye and the others quickly got into their positions and didn't hesitate to activate the formation.
Boom!
All of a sudden, the entire Star Gazing Palace shook violently. The sky immediately darkened as bright starlights shot down, forming a gigantic dome of blue light.
Seeing the formation was successfully activating, Xing Ye grinned and looked at Yun Lintian. "Are you ready, Sect Master Yun?"
Yun Lintian didn't care about Xing Ye's smug look. He looked at the starlight dome above his head and nodded. "I see. It's indeed worthy of being a divine-level formation."
Standing at the center of the formation, Yun Lintian could feel the terrifying pressure around him. It was as if countless blades were pointing at him, waiting to turn him into a sieve at any moment.
Yun Lintian didn't even release his aura as he said. "Go on."
BOOM!
