The small boat quietly came to a halt.
Meng Changyun became vigilant, as though facing great enemies.
Su Yi leaned against the stern and raised his eyes to look ahead.
That shadow, like interweaving glimmers of light, gradually took the form of an old man in plain robes with a face full of wrinkles.
His hair was white as snow, and he was bent with age.
Standing there casually, his aura seemed to have completely merged with this starry sky, giving off an impeccable air.
The moment the old man in plain robes appeared, he smiled and bowed to Su Yi. "This old man is Lu Yun, a Nine Heavens Pavilion Heaven Sacrificer. I have been waiting here for Temple Master for quite some time."
A Nine Heavens Pavilion Heaven Sacrificer!
Meng Changyun's heart trembled.
Among the major hegemonic factions of the starry sky, Nine Heavens Pavilion had the fewest members.
Including its three Heaven Sacrificers, seven prison masters, eighteen Executioners, and its many Jailors and chief ritualists, there were only a little over a hundred people in total.
Yet all the cultivation factions spread throughout the Heavenly Prayer Star Realm could be considered vassal factions of Nine Heavens Pavilion.
There was no need for the Nine Heavens Pavilion Sect Leader to appear personally. So long as any one of the three Heaven Sacrificers gave the order, they could summon every World King-level figure in the Heavenly Prayer Star Realm!
Such was the prestige of Nine Heavens Pavilion!
The strength of this starry-sky hegemon lay not in how many disciples or experts it possessed, but in the fact that its sect leader was simply too powerful.
One man alone held up an entire starry-sky hegemonic faction!
"Did Deng Zuo tell you that I had left the Thousand Opportunities Star Realm?"
