Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1143 -924: Palace Master

Yuantong Island.

With the memories of the Demon Soul first, Su Yuan now also learned about the recent developments in the Western Desert from Ashley.

Due to the movement of Earth Qi, the entire Western Desert had two Tiger Veins born in succession, along with dozens of Wolf and Canine Star Veins!

Coupled with the fact that the west borders the sea, this has turned the originally barren Western Desert into lush mountains and rivers, green lands stretching for miles, full of life, with spiritual energy everywhere.

More and more talents flocked to the Western Desert, and with the order reestablished under Qingming Palace… except for not having a King Level, the Western Desert has gradually become a region comparable to the Central Five Domains.

Moreover, because of its lower starting point, its future is even more promising.

“So, is the Western Desert Alliance Meeting being held now?” Su Yuan asked Ashley.

Ashley nodded: “The meeting involves talent management and resource allocation in the Western Desert, the teaching and exchange of alchemy, weapon formation, and many other matters…

The meeting officially ends tomorrow, and all forces are still in the final negotiations and gathering supplies.”

Su Yuan pondered, thinking it might be better to seize the day; after all this time, it was a good opportunity to show up since he’d returned.

Seeing the time of day was still morning, today seemed as good a day as any.

“Then let’s extend it by a day, and I’ll make an appearance,” Su Yuan said.

“Alright!” Ashley nodded, “I’ll arrange that right away.”

Ashley immediately left.

After Ashley left, Su Yuan’s body flashed with a silver light, and he was then in front of the small house under the Holy Ancient Tree.

With the silver light twinkling in his eyes, Su Yuan expanded his All-Knowing Vision and could see Yang Yifeng inside, sitting cross-legged with eyes closed.

Looking haggard, with dim complexion, hair turning white, and wrinkles appearing, he seemed much older than before.

At this moment, Yang Yifeng had no energy fluctuation, as if he had entered some state of meditation to ease the condition of his body.

Seeing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help feeling a tightness in his heart.

“Although using the Qingming Realm Phoenix Vein to prolong life, the fundamental issue of Origin remains unsolved.”

Without hastening to wake his teacher, Su Yuan lingered for a while longer before leaving first.

…

“Notify everyone in the Sea King Gang, Shuiyun Alliance, and Storm Alliance… everyone from the Western Alliance to head to the square again!”

“Notify all members of Qingming Palace on Seven-Star Island, except for those on duty, to proceed to Yuantong Island!”

“…”

A large number of Qingming Guards flew out from the island, swiftly spreading the message, with a faint excitement and enthusiasm on the faces of many!

At a certain hall on the island, a few elders held back a middle-aged Qingming Guard who was about to leave after delivering the message.

One of the burly elders with red whiskers said, “Old Xu, don’t rush off!”

The middle-aged Qingming Guard said, “Elder Wu, I don’t have time to talk with you today; I still have other halls to deliver messages to!”

The red-whiskered elder quickly waved his hand, “No need to chat, just tell us what’s happening. Isn’t the Western Desert conference about to end? Some forces far away have already left the island, so why suddenly go to the square?”

The middle-aged Qingming Guard thought for a moment, then suppressed his excitement and whispered, “Although not confirmed, from the higher-ups’ response… it seems the Palace Master has returned!”

“Palace Master!”

The elders in the hall, including the red-whiskered elder, were greatly surprised, followed by a surge of anticipation and curiosity in their eyes.

The Qingming Palace Master was extremely mysterious, rarely appearing after establishing Qingming Palace and choosing Yuantong Island a few years ago.

Yet his deeds, including killing Cao Yuanzheng and integrating the Western Desert, have astounded all those who came after.

Now, under Palace Master Su’s guidance, the Western Desert is on the right track and thriving, showcasing remarkable achievements.

At the same time, due to favorable conditions, the development speed of Qingming Palace and the entire Western Desert was beyond imagination.

Su Yuan had been away for just a while, and Qingming Palace had many new faces he’d never met.

Elder Wu, who came from Xunyang Domain, was one of those new faces.

Additionally, since images above the Hall Master rank were prohibited within Qingming Palace, passing only through word of mouth,

many newcomers only knew that Palace Master Su had silver hair and was extremely young, but specifics were unclear.

The middle-aged Qingming Guard said, “Alright, I’m heading off; you all prepare well!”

Elder Wu said, “Okay, okay, this is important; you go quickly!”

Watching the middle-aged Qingming Guard leave, Elder Wu immediately turned around, glanced around, and stepped over to the glass window to meticulously adjust his blue-eyed Abyss robe.

“Elder Liu, how do I look in this? Spirited?” Elder Wu asked another elder beside him while looking at his reflection.

“Not bad, Elder Wu, can you check if my little merit badge is hanging right here?”

Both of them adjusted themselves, while beside them, a rather young Waning Moon elder headed outside directly.

“Little Mo, prepare well; where are you going?”

“My dyed silver hair is fading a bit, need to get it touched up by Master Li!”

“…”

Before long, from top to bottom across Yuantong Island, including the Sea King Gang, Shuiyun Alliance, and other four coastal gangs, as well as the Shen Family Manor, Gale Sect, and other central forces in the Western Desert, all received the summoning notice and gathered back at the square.

At noon, under the fierce sun.

At the long table in the center of the square, the Hall Masters of Qingming Palace sat on the left, while the leaders of other forces of the Burning Sun sat on the right.

On the upper seat, the precious Sea Moon Chair carved with Abyss Eyes was left empty.

Even Luo Bingtong and Ashley, who were usually in charge of overseeing all affairs of Qingming Palace, were seated on the left side at this moment.

“It seems that Palace Master Su of Qingming Palace has indeed returned!” People around the square, who had received the news in advance, were buzzing in discussion.

Just as the sun was at its zenith, a flash of silver light appeared.

In the blink of an eye, a silver-haired youth wearing a Golden Eyed Abyss robe had already seated himself in the main seat of the large chair!

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

A faint voice sounded, not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone’s ears in the square.

“It’s here!”

“Qingming Palace Master!”

“So young indeed!”

“…”

Regardless of whether they were newcomers or veterans, no matter their level of cultivation, everyone’s gaze was focused on the silver-haired youth seated on the Sea Moon Chair.

Su Yuan was also observing Yang Qian, Xiang Qing, Lv Feng, and the various powerful figures from different factions. With a single thought, a formidable Star Power emanated, sending shockwaves of fear through the minds of the many Burning Suns present!

Yang Qian, Lv Feng, and other Burning Suns had their pupils contract suddenly, while the surrounding members of the various gangs felt a suffocating and terrifying pressure!

Yet, in just the blink of an eye, the pressure vanished completely as if it were an illusion.

“Three Suns Realm!”

Yang Qian and others were deeply shocked.

Originally, when Su Yuan encircled and killed Fire God Alliance Leader Cao Yuanzheng in Fire Cloud City, he was merely at the Early Sun Realm, right?

Everyone knew that after Su Yuan killed Cao Yuanzheng, he advanced into Chongyang in one fell swoop, so how was he suddenly at the Three Suns Realm now!

Moreover, this terrifying pressure… it was much more terrifying than Cao Yuanzheng, who was also at the Three Suns Realm back then!

Being able to join forces to kill Cao Yuanzheng at the Early Sun Realm, and now at Three Suns? …Yang Qian, Lv Feng, and others all felt their hearts skip a beat, nearly unable to imagine.

“Palace Master”

“Palace Master Su!”

Apart from Luo Bingtong, who was now the Vice Palace Master, everyone else on either side stood up and bowed to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan looked at Yang Qian and the others in front of him, then raised his eyes to the people around the plaza, nodding slightly.

“Sit down.”

All the Burning Suns were aghast and sat down in unison.

Seeing this scene, all the elders, managers of Qingming Palace, and even the lower three levels cultivated on the island felt a strong sense of excitement and exhilaration!

“Is this the master of our Qingming Palace who actually overwhelmed Yang Qian and Leader Xiang Qing all at once? What a powerful aura!”

Who wouldn’t wish that the leader of their faction was strong? And standing before them, Su Yuan was young, mysterious, and strong…

Within Qingming Palace and even among the Star Card Masters of other sects, there was an involuntary sense of fervor and admiration in their eyes when they looked at Su Yuan!

In fact, suppressing Yang Qian and the others was nothing to Su Yuan at all…

After all, the number of Burning Suns Su Yuan had killed far exceeded the likes of Yang Qian combined!

After showcasing his strength to intimidate everyone, Su Yuan slowly began to speak:

“Now the disaster looms. Not long ago, a dragon vein already emerged on the Southern Continent.

Even the super experts of the Ten Great Sects have perished unawares amidst the great calamity.”

Though the Western Desert is flourishing, it remains a remote corner, and information is rather delayed. Su Yuan immediately detailed the current situation and about the contest for the dragon veins to everyone.

Although Yang Qian and the others were on the coast, due to prior maritime Star Sand issues, they had never gone over.

Hearing about the contest for the dragon veins, everyone was stunned and simultaneously felt a chill in their hearts.

Though they didn’t know how powerful the disastrous Demon Beasts, Dongfang Yi, or Hua Tiandu mentioned by Su Yuan were.

To become the premier experts under the king of the Southern Continent, their strength was self-evident!

Furthermore, Su Yuan’s detailed description seemed as if he were present on site, causing Yang Qian and other Burning Suns to be deeply alarmed, feeling an urgent pressure of a sky beyond their sky,

while the surrounding people all listened in awe, feeling an unparalleled thrill, and having their horizons broadened!

Besides the East Continent, where the North and South stand in opposition, the outside world turned out to be this wonderful!

“Palace Master Su, did you witness all this on site?” In the pause, an elder raised his hand to ask.

“Hmm… sort of.” Su Yuan nodded, as he was indeed a main participant, which naturally counted as being present on site.

“Incredible!”

“No wonder it was described so clearly.”

“Worthy of our Qingming Palace Master!”

Everyone who heard what Su Yuan said felt greatly excited!

The first dragon vein, the duel of super experts, being able to witness such events up close was remarkable in itself!

Su Yuan continued, “With the emergence of a dragon vein on the Southern Continent and the revival of ancient Great Demons, our East Continent seems to be not too far from experiencing this either.

Ladies and gentlemen, be careful in every action. If any faction has needs or emergency situations, you can report to Qingming Palace for assistance.

And if critical times come when orders are issued from the palace, I also hope that everyone will respond to the call and cooperate fully.

Do not suffer a big loss because of small matters or personal reasons at the expense of the overall situation in the Western Desert, or else… don’t blame me for not recognizing anyone then!”

As he spoke the latter words, Su Yuan’s voice turned cold.

Yang Qian, Lv Feng, and others felt a chill in their hearts, and respectfully responded, “We will comply with Palace Master Su’s orders!”

Su Yuan nodded and after giving some further instructions, began to guide the cultivation of Yang Qian and others on site.

With Su Yuan’s current cultivation and vision, guiding the Burning Suns from these remote places like Yang Qian and others was more than sufficient.

Yang Qian and others, though a bit embarrassed to receive instruction in public, valued this rare opportunity and enthusiastically raised their cultivation queries.

Su Yuan, with just a few words, allowed Yang Qian and the others to gain significant insight, especially in terms of skills!

As for True Form Release… there’s absolutely no need for people like Yang Qian to consider it right now. This can be pondered slowly after reaching the Three Suns Realm.

“Alright, let’s wrap it up here.” Su Yuan looked at Ashley, “Ashley, you can continue to discuss other specific matters with everyone.”

“Yes, boss.” Ashley responded.

Su Yuan nodded, looked at Luo Bingtong, and smiled, “Bingtong, come with me first.”

Luo Bingtong nodded, “Hmm.”

Then, with a flash of silver light, Su Yuan directly returned to the Qingming Realm with Luo Bingtong.
