Chapter 1285: Kicking Down The Door

The Meteor God Palace.

Numerous elders stood respectfully on both sides, while Liu Runan and his son knelt nervously on the starry path of the grand hall. The father and son were filled with anxiety and regret, their hearts in turmoil. The thought of Yi Feng entering the palace and sharing the same roof with them made their guts churn with dread.

Though the wait was brief, every moment felt like an eternity, their hearts tormented by anguish and their prayers unceasing.

Finally.

Ripples of space spread through the grand hall.

Feeling the spatial fluctuations, Liu Runan closed his eyes in resignation, his mind overwhelmed by the thought that all was lost.

It's over.

The return of the two Star Envoys meant the matter had been decided.

Just as he closed his eyes and awaited his fate.

The elders around him began to gasp in shock!

"Hiss..."

The strange sound startled Liu Runan, and he opened his eyes to see only one Star Envoy returning, clutching a severed arm, his face filled with grief and anger!

This...

Liu Runan was stunned!

He never expected such an outcome!

The Star Envoy had gone to summon the outsider, so how could he have ended up in such a state? What terrifying being had they encountered?!

As the entire hall buzzed with shock.

From behind the beaded curtain, the voice of the Star Lord rang out, filled with confusion.

"Why have you returned alone, and so grievously injured? What happened?"

The pale-faced Star Envoy bowed and reported through gritted teeth.

"My Lord Star Lord!"

"My brother and I were sent to summon the outsider, but this man was outrageously arrogant! Relying on his formidable cultivation, he ambushed and killed my brother, and I lost an arm!"

"Had I not used a secret technique in time, I would not have returned to the palace!"

"This man is utterly reckless, disregarding the prestige of our divine palace and slaughtering without hesitation. He even dared to boast that he would wait for you to come to him! We have failed in our duty and disgraced the palace's honor. Please punish us, my Lord!"

Whoosh!

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall erupted in uproar!

The once lofty Star Envoy had returned in such a pitiful state, shocking all the elders present. Their usual composure was shattered.

A mere rogue cultivator had dared to kill members of the divine palace, even a Star Envoy, and had shown no respect for the Star Lord!

Such a thing had never happened before!

This man's cultivation might be terrifying, but his audacity was beyond measure!

The entire hall was in turmoil, filled with shock and anger, whispers of disbelief spreading like wildfire.

Only Liu Runan and his son, after a brief moment of shock, felt a glimmer of relief and even a faint hope...

Good heavens!

That outsider was so formidable that he even took down a Star Envoy. Thank goodness we didn't act against him earlier.

But such arrogance would surely lead to his demise. He would never set foot in the divine palace again, and that might not be such a bad thing!

The Star Lord would surely issue an order to exterminate this scoundrel!

Thinking this, Liu Runan suppressed his excitement and feigned grief, bowing his head and waiting quietly.

As expected.

The voice from behind the beaded curtain carried a rare trace of anger, unseen in millennia.

"Outrageous!"

"This man has the gall to defy my decree!"

"To defy my order is already a capital offense, and yet he dares to ambush and kill my Star Envoy! Even if his cultivation is extraordinary, such an insolent fool has no right to live!"

As the furious voice echoed, a terrifying aura swept through the grand hall!

A fierce gale erupted, and an overwhelming pressure filled the air!

All the elders bowed their heads in fear, not daring to utter a word. Even the majestic jade gates, crafted from ancient jade, were effortlessly pushed open by this immense force!

When the divine palace is angered, millions will perish!

In the face of such unprecedented wrath, the entire Meteor God Realm, and even the entire Lan Star, would tremble. A mere rogue cultivator would be utterly annihilated!

"By my decree, from this day forth, the entire Meteor God Palace shall mobilize to exterminate this man at any cost! Furthermore, I issue a celestial decree of absolute extermination: anyone who kills this man shall be granted the position of inner palace elder!"

The Star Lord's decree resounded, shocking the entire hall!

The full force of the Meteor God Palace was now directed at exterminating a single rogue cultivator. With the celestial decree of absolute extermination issued, there would be no place in the Lan Star for this man to hide!

Such a decree was unheard of in all of history!

The Star Lord was truly enraged, and this rogue cultivator would not have even a sliver of hope for survival!

The entire hall was in shock, silent as if holding their breath.

Liu Runan and his son were also terrified, but deep down, they felt a wave of relief and even a hint of joy.

With such a golden opportunity before him, that man had chosen to be arrogant and overconfident. Such a fool, who sought his own death, would surely perish, and they no longer needed to worry!

At that moment.

Footsteps echoed from the open gates of the grand hall.

Then, a lazy, unfamiliar voice rang out.

"No need to trouble yourselves. I'm already here."

Whoosh!

All the elders turned their heads, their faces filled with confusion and shock as they looked at the unfamiliar face.

They exchanged glances, their expressions filled with bewilderment.

The grand hall was a place of utmost sanctity, accessible only to inner palace elders. How could a stranger suddenly appear here, speaking such bold and strange words?

Could it be...?

As suspicions arose, Liu Runan's eyes widened in recognition!

"It's him...?"

Even if Yi Feng were reduced to ashes, Liu Runan would recognize him!

He never expected this man to be so audacious. Not only had he killed members of the divine palace, but he had also dared to show up at the grand hall just as the Star Lord was issuing his decree!

This guy is outrageously bold!

Liu Runan was the first to report.

"My Lord Star Lord!"

"This scoundrel is the outsider! He is the one who ambushed and killed the Star Envoy, my son, and our fellow members!"

The surviving Star Envoy also quickly spoke up, his face filled with venom.

"My Lord Star Lord, it is indeed him!"

The successive identifications shocked the entire hall, and all the elders turned to glare at the newcomer!

No one had expected the murderer to show up at their doorstep!

This was beyond outrageous!

Even the enigmatic Star Lord, in this moment, roared with fury!

"Audacious fool!"

"You dare to barge into the divine palace, ignorant of the heavens and the earth! Since you seek death, I shall grant your wish!"

Facing the intense gazes of the entire hall, Yi Feng slowly walked into the grand hall.

He looked up at the nine-tiered jade platform and smiled as he responded.

"You're right!"

"I came here today to seek death!"

His words shocked the entire hall.

Before anyone could react, his bold declaration echoed through the grand hall!

"Today, I want to be killed by all of you here, or I'll kill all of you!"

"However, I'm a humble man by nature, so I'll give you the first move. If you can't kill me, then I'll have no choice but to kill you. So, give it your all, lest you lose your lives."

His leisurely tone was filled with provocation, as if he were facing a group of insignificant weaklings.

This was the Meteor God Palace.

Even the most renowned experts of the Lan Star would not dare to be disrespectful here, let alone make such outrageous declarations. This was clearly a man who had thrown caution to the wind, insulting the lofty figures before him!

He's insane.

Truly insane!

Regardless of why this man was so confident, the elders in the hall were seething with rage!

"Bastard!"

"How dare you, you brat!"

"I, who have lived for millennia, will not tolerate such humiliation!"

"If we do not grind your bones to dust, how can the prestige of our divine palace remain intact!"

The enraged elders, their hair and beards flying wildly, unleashed their Daoist powers, filling the hall with overwhelming energy!

Watching the murderous formation before him, Yi Feng's eyes gleamed with anticipation. He felt that he had finally come to the right place and should have done so sooner!

Today, it would be a fight to the death!
