“Tang Tian came so quickly, his luck is truly good.”

The person who spoke was around 30 years old, his deep eyes carried a trace of prestige, even when his face was smiling, it did not give off any feeling of warmth. The martial artists seated beneath him all kept quiet out of fear.

He looked at everyone, and said indifferently: “Can anyone tell me, why did Big Dipper seal that year?”

Dubhe City Lord respectfully replied: “Elder An, it was around 8000 years ago, the intense fight between Ursa Major Clan and the foreign martial artists became more tense day after day, resulting in a fierce battle in Big Dipper, causing the star power to be chaotic to the point that the Star Door disappeared, and thus Big Dipper sealed itself. After 500 years of war, both parties decided to set down a contract, Ursa Major Clan could stay east of the Ridge, while the Big Dipper Seven Cities were created in the west.”

“Yes, so you are all ancient citizens to have lost so much, it must not be easy.” Elder An sighed: “And I heard that east of the ridge, the star power is much more dense, such a good place, to have been taken advantage by a group of brutes, it is truly a waste. The sealing of Big Dipper had been going on for 8000 years, and the star power is extremely dense in here, almost on comparison with the ecliptic palaces, and to a bronze saint, it truly is a paradise, for everybody to use and with power to spare.”

There were eight people seated below, other than the Dubhe City lord, there were six other saints, they kept silent, but their hearts extremely eager.

To a saint, to infer from a natural law and improve on their spirit domain required star power, and lots of it. A normal constellation was unable to satisfy their requirement. That was also why saints usually favored an ecliptic palace rank constellation, and were not willing to stay in smaller constellations, as star power was their most essential need.

“I originally thought, before Tang Tian had rushed over, that everyone was able to take root in here. But who knew that Brat Tang would come here so quickly, out of my expectation. I am here to tell everyone, very quickly, The Martial Group will completely withdraw from Big Dipper.”

With that said, it immediately turned into an uproar, especially for the city lords who all became panicked. They had betrayed the contract, and the vengeance of Ursa Major Clan was extremely intense, although the barbarians did not interact much with the outside world, but once they retaliated, it was extremely intense.

Elder An smiled, and everyone immediately calmed down.

“Martial Group is not willing to engage in a war with little brat Tang at this time. Little Tang’s strength is insignificant, but his level of harassment is top notch, and what the martial group is worried about is not Tang Tian, but that Lion. I am a clan elder of the Martial Group, and need to comply to the Martial Group’s methods.” Elder An’s expression was calm.

The more calm Elder An spoke, the more quiet everyone else became. Although Elder An was young, he was revered, and had high authority.

“Although only Dubhe City Lord is present today, but the six city lords are of one heart, and adding the seven newly recruited saints, you all have a total of 13 saints. No matter how strong Tang Tian is, in time, he will definitely be unable to cope with you all. Although Tang Tian cannot be looked down on, but how are anyone of you weak? I would say both sides are equal, furthermore we still have that stupid bear we can make use of.”

Dubhe City Lord respectfully said: “I hope Elder can show us the right path.”

“I heard that Ling Xu has already brought Ursa Major Clan’s holy maiden to the ridge.” Elder An smiled: “We only need to kill them half way, who would know that we broke the contract? The Star Door is at Alkaid City, Tang Tian is completely crazy and ridiculous, and Alkaid City Lord had sworn an oath to protect Big Dipper, so both sides engaged in an intense battle. The Holy Maiden escaped but was killed by Ling Xu, When I reached, the holy maiden had met with her demise, so the only way was to take revenge for the holy maiden and kill that scum!”

Everyone’s eyes lit up, especially Dubhe City Lord’s, he was even more eager. He knew of Ursa Major Clan’s personality, if they were able to kill Ling Xu and the Holy Maiden, Ursa Major Clan would definitely fight Tang Tian to the death.

“Who knows, both sides would become injured, so much that everyone here can launch a counterattack, and seize Ursa Major Constellation.” Elder An chuckled, he was calm and composed.

Seeing that the few saints all started to have some hesitation, Elder An’s expression became stern.

The discussions slowly calmed down as everyone looked at him.

“This will be different from what we have originally planned, but, what in this world isn’t fought for by our own hands? At times, even having the opportunity to fight is not easy to come by. If not Yan Yong Lie’s army failing, do you think you have will have this chance?”

Upon saying that, the saints were all moved.

“The people outside think that Yan Yong Lie was fighting for Orion Constellation, but little can they realize, compared to Big Dipper, what is this Orion Constellation? If not for the King Bear Army dying and losing, how could such a heaven sent opportunity land in your hands?” Elder An’s expression was cold.

A saint stood up and bowed: “We will forever remember Elder’s kindness, if you have any assistance you require from us in days to come, feel free to ask.”

Elder An’s face thawed, revealing a smile: “If you all are able to stop Tang Tian for me, that will be the biggest help. The loss of Ursa Major Constellation has placed a huge pressure on me. If you are all able to take down Ursa Major Constellation, i will definitely request rewards for everybody!”

Everyone understood everything that he said.

Their hearts could not help but be surprised, Tang Tian truly could not be underestimated, to actually cause Elder An to feel pressured. They did not need to have anyone fight Tang Tian, with Elder An’s sinister plan, if it goes well, they could just watch the tigers fight.

And, with 13 saints, no matter how strong Tang Tian was, it would not be easy to move them.

They relaxed, as they never got to know why Elder An was helping them fight for Big Dipper.

Elder An looked at their expressions calmly.

When the meeting was adjourned, the saints and the city lords all left, they required a discussion on how to carry on the plan.

Only until late night did the Dubhe City Lord return.

“How’s everybody’s morale?” Elder An smiled while pouring a cup of tea for Dubhe City Lord.

Dubhe City Lord was overwhelmed by the favor of Elder An, and immediately reporter: “Everyone took Elder’s words to heart.”

Elder An revealed a satisfied look, and said: “10 years ago, when I looked up the ancient records, I accidentally stumbled upon the possibility that Big Dipper might possibly be sealed, and guessed that there might be an ancient civilization still thriving inside. After that, there was one time when I suddenly thought of a secret rumor on Aries Constellation, that there was once an Ursa Major martial artist that used the lost martial techniques of the Ursa Major clan. I then followed upon that lead, and found the place where that man first appeared, and with some effort, I found a crack.”

“I was originally trying to find an object, which could most probably be in the hands of Ursa Major Clan. Just that, they are not easy to defeat, but coincidentally the war erupted, and I originally wanted to use Yan Yong Lie’s blade to defeat them, but I did not expect him to be so disappointing. Currently, Tang Tian is here, and in my opinion, he is an even sharper blade. If he isn’t sharp, how would he able to cut the bones of the Ursa Major Clan.”

“Elder is wise with his wonderful planning!” Dubhe City Lord immediately commented.

“If you do well, after all this, you can follow me by my side in future.” Elder An encouraged the Dubhe City Lord, patting him on his shoulder.

Dubhe City Lord was excited, he immediately knelt down and hurriedly said: “Thank you Master for educating me!”

“Once Tang Tian sees the Honorable Martial Group, his reaction will be intense.” Elder An laughed, his gaze filled with a cold aura: “At the moment we just have to provoke the Ursa Major Clan slightly, and they will both start in their all out war. As long as they fight, they will have no way to turn back. So, the most crucial point, is to kill Ling Xu now!”

“Elder, be at ease!” Dubhe City Lord immediately replied: “The three city lords closest to them have all moved out, no matter what, we will definitely not let them return to the ridge alive!”

“With you heading everything, I can rest easy.” Elder An laughed, Dubhe City Lord’s bones in his body softened upon hearing that.

“Alright, I am going off now! I will await your good news!” Elder An stood up.

Leaving Dubhe City, an Honorable Martial Group martial artist with one arm asked: “Elder, are we truly leaving Big Dipper?”

He was the one who fought with Jing Hao, the saint whose right hand was cut off by Jing Hao, his tone of speech was filled with resentment.

“That’s right.” Elder An laughed: “Not only are we withdrawing, and, I have already written a letter regarding the information of the crack for Jing Hao. Even if he will not recognize the Martial Group, but after all we came from the same place, I do not wish to become his enemy, and hopes he does his best.”

The martial artist with the arm gone was shocked: “Master, why….”

“Sword spirit, he has formed a sword spirit, as long as he does not die, he will definitely become the sharpest sword in the world!” Elder An’s gaze was filled with passion, and he muttered: “Although we cannot convince Tang Tian, but we can convince Jing Hao. Because of his loyalty, and loyal people are the best to handle. If Tang Tian is in a dire position, I believe, Jing Hao will definitely be willing to use himself to exchange for Tang Tian’s safety. What is Big Dipper worth? So what if they have these saints? Ursa Major Clan might not be Tang Tian’s opponent, no matter, we can slowly weaken him. I have never thought that these mediocre people could beat Tang Tian, for I am patient enough.”

The one armed martial artist’s heart felt a chill.

Elder An continued: “I was originally interested in the Big Dipper because of the object in the hands of Ursa Major Clan. But this time, I am giving up for the future, no matter how powerful it is, how could it compare to Jing Hao 10 years later? If we have Jing Hao, a world definite unique sword expert, who can stop me? Jing Hao’s teachers are all down and out, but if I give them a taste of what they can achieve, they will be unwavering. Do you know, at times, a human’s emotion is like a net, it is not easy to struggle out of it.”

He turned his head and looked at the martial artist, smiling: “how many people, are able to give up on their own family and friends? What I am doing, is slowly tying the net. When the time comes, not only will the net wrap around him, but it will naturally send him to me.”

“M-master….” The one arm martial artist stammered, his expression was in shock.

On his chest was a light aura, as it continued to engulf his entire body. His body was like ice, continuously changing, he was extremely afraid.

“Ah Xiang, you must help me, help me obtain this exceptional and uncomparably sharp weapon!” Elder An looked at the martial artist’s frightened face, and pleaded.

The light aura swallowed the frightened face, and in the next moment, there was nothing left.

Elder An retracted his gaze, then muttered: “Send word out, because I am not willing to become an enemy of Jing Hao, and views heavily on loyalty, Ah Xiang was enraged and attacked me, and made me retaliate unintentionally, but he suffered from an incurable injury, I am in sorrow, and blame myself deeply. Remember, bury him deep and console his family.”

A faint figure flashed for a second in the space beside him.

“Ah Xiang, after your funeral, I will light incense for you.”

Elder An muttered, a profound gleam in his eyes.
