Heavenly Star City, Star Gazing Platform.
This platform stood at the very top of Heavenly Star City's Star Tower.
It had originally been built by Old Ancestor Heavenly Star as a place to observe the celestial phenomena of the Demon Star Sea and deduce the trajectories of the stars.
During the incident of the Demon Ancestor descending to the mortal realm, the Star Tower had once been destroyed.
Later, Su Bai cleverly used the Devil Race to resolve the Demon Ancestor, and the Star Tower was swiftly restored.
Because of its special location and extraordinary significance, it had now become the place where the Heavenly Star Alliance—specifically, the core family faction controlled by Xiao Shixi—discussed its most secret and important affairs.
Under the urgent summons of Xiao Shixi, the current Alliance Leader,
in less than the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, more than twenty figures had gathered atop the Star Gazing Platform.
Some stood, while others sat. Their auras were all deep and majestic. Without exception, every one of them possessed Nascent Soul Realm cultivation!
They were the true core of the Heavenly Star Alliance's family faction, controlling the lifeblood of Heavenly Star City and the three surrounding Spirit Plains.
Other than a handful who either had reached a critical juncture in cultivating in seclusion or were stationed far out at sea guarding key mineral veins and could not rush back at once, nearly all of the family faction's high-ranking Nascent Soul Cultivators had assembled here.
The atmosphere within the hall was solemn; one could hear a needle drop.
Among these faces, if Su Bai had been present, quite a few would surely not have been unfamiliar to him. He might even have recognized many familiar faces.
There was no need to mention Xiao Shixi.
