Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 435: Chapter 437-438: Night Heaven Tower

Night Heaven Tower is the largest tavern in Celestial Sword City.

The tower stands at a height of 108 zhang, with eaves divided into seven corners, each corner adorned with a treasure lamp. Once night falls, it shines as bright as day, illuminating the entire Celestial Sword City, hence the name Night Heaven Tower.

On ordinary days.

Night Heaven Tower is at its busiest when night arrives, but today there is something peculiar. Guests arriving find a crowd already standing in front of Night Heaven Tower, with many patrons being stopped from entering.

”Who are you? Why aren’t you letting us in? Do you know who I am?”

In the crowd.

Lin Pojun shouted angrily.

Ever since the incident with the Medicine King Pavilion, he could clearly feel that Xie Wangsun was intentionally distancing himself. Although the Lin Family is considered a prominent family in Celestial Sword City, within the Xingyue Alliance, they are not highly ranked.

Without Xie Wangsun’s support, the Lin Family’s status naturally plummeted.

Therefore.

This night, he invited a few friends to drink and let loose, but unexpectedly found Night Heaven Tower sealed off.

”I don’t care who you are! Get lost, my master has reserved the entire Night Heaven Tower to entertain distinguished guests tonight!” Yet the leading man with a sword strapped to his back coldly stated without even glancing at them.

One young man accompanying Lin Pojun was furious upon hearing this and was about to speak, but Lin Pojun suddenly grabbed him. The young man looked at him puzzled, only to see a hint of horror on Lin Pojun’s face, and asked quietly, ”Young Master Lin, what’s going on?”

”These seem to be people from Divine Sword Manor!” Lin Pojun assessed the man with the sword in front of him, feeling dazed. He had once seen his father conversing with this man, and even his father, the unquestionable head of the Lin Family in Celestial Sword City, showed utmost respect before this man.

And his master...

Could it be the master of Divine Sword Manor, the Leader of Xingyue Alliance, Xie Xiaofeng?

Why did that figure arrive in Celestial Sword City?

And even booked the Night Heaven Tower?

Who does he intend to entertain?

Lin Pojun squinted his eyes, gazing towards Night Heaven Tower.

He saw.

Within the vast Night Heaven Tower, although the lamps were ablaze, it was completely empty except for a lone figure seated at the top. The figure was dressed in white, with white hair, enveloped in a glow of sword light, making it impossible to see the true visage.

Just as Lin Pojun was wildly speculating, a commotion was heard from afar. The crowd parted to see a team of men stride forward. These people were all clad in black long robes with a Yanling Saber at their waists.

Though there were only about ten of them, their arrival was as imposing as an army, covering miles like a tiger!

”It’s the Mad Saber Stronghold from the Divine Blade Continent!”

Lin Pojun’s eyes almost popped out.

Within the Xingyue Alliance, aside from Divine Sword Manor, there are seven top-tier forces dominating their own regions. The Mad Saber Stronghold is one of them, wielding enormous influence, far beyond what the Lin Family could hope to match.

”Could it be that tonight Divine Sword Manor is entertaining Mad Saber Stronghold?” Lin Pojun silently speculated.

But soon.

He realized he was utterly mistaken.

He saw.

The group from Mad Saber Stronghold arrived beneath Night Heaven Tower but did not ascend. Instead, they respectfully waited outside.

”Even Mad Saber Stronghold is waiting downstairs. Who is Divine Sword Manor entertaining?”

Not only Lin Pojun, but those present almost popped their eyes in disbelief.

However.

The shocking events did not end there.

Shortly after the arrival of Mad Saber Stronghold, one force after another quickly appeared. These were all the top forces within the Xingyue Alliance, each arriving with the top leaders of their factions.

”Immortal Sect of the Mountain Continent, White Lotus Sect of Wind Cold Continent, Chain Sect of Moon Deficient Continent...”

Lin Pojun stared blankly at the emergence of each top-tier force, almost rendered speechless. None of these forces were easy targets, any one of them could shake an entire region, and a single word from them could wipe out the Lin Family a hundred times!

Yet.

After their arrivals, each stood like Mad Saber Stronghold, waiting quietly outside without ascending.

”Young Master Lin, this is a big scene...” The young man from before gaped at the scene in front of him, almost too stunned to close his mouth, ”Do you know who Divine Sword Manor is entertaining?”

”I don’t know!” Lin Pojun shook his head woodenly.

The scene before him was beyond his imagination.

But he could surmise.

The guest of this banquet is certainly no ordinary figure!

The other patrons also stared in bewilderment, being barred from entering Night Heaven Tower, but judging by the scene, it was clear a great figure had yet to make an appearance.

That great figure must be extraordinary, otherwise, why would Divine Sword Manor book Night Heaven Tower, with Mad Saber Stronghold, Immortal Sect, and White Lotus Sect all waiting reverently here?

As the sky completely darkened, the treasure lamps of Night Heaven Tower were fully lit. Many were growing impatient when suddenly a laughter echoed from within Night Heaven Tower like thunder and fire:

”You’ve finally arrived! I’ve waited long enough!”

The crowd, growing restless, instantly perked up, quickly looking forward. Even Lin Pojun widened his eyes, not daring to miss a single detail.

At the street’s end, an old and young pair were seen slowly approaching. The elder paused seeing the scene outside Night Heaven Tower, but the young one paid no heed and continued onward.

A Divine Sword Manor cultivator, maintaining order, noticed them, furrowing his brows, intending to chase them away.

Some nearby shook their heads secretly, ”These two are courting death. With all these people from Divine Sword Manor, Immortal Sect, and Mad Saber Stronghold present, they dare stride over like this?”

Even the young man from before wore a mocking smile, ”I reckon this kid’s brain is missing a screw. Trying to be in the spotlight now is simply courting death!”

However.

Only Lin Pojun trembled, a look of terror on his face, as if unable to believe.

”Is it him?”

Lin Pojun suddenly came back to his senses and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Indeed!

Who else could make Divine Sword Manor treat with such gravity?

The person coming was none other than Ye Qingchen.

Amidst countless shocked gazes, he slowly lifted his head, with a half-smile scanning his surroundings, ”Xie Xiaofeng, such pomp from your Divine Sword Manor, taking the entire Night Heaven Tower for me!”

”Haha, Mr. Ye, you are far too humble. With your status today, you fully deserve such respectful treatment from me!” The ethereal voice echoed from atop Night Heaven Tower again, ”Mr. Ye, please come up for a conversation!”

”Alright!”

Ye Qingchen nodded slightly, taking a step forward, directly disappearing from everyone’s sight, and in the next moment, he was inside Night Heaven Tower, meeting Xie Xiaofeng.
