Chapter 944: Chapter 74: Arrival of the Star Lord

In mid-air, all the arrows were quietly floating, and the newly shot ones would join them, ceasing their flight path.

This scene truly left the soldiers dumbfounded, and even the newly arrived General lost his previous arrogance, his face full of horror.

Among the unbelievable gazes of the crowd, a figure slowly came into their view.

This feeling was strange, as if he had always been there, yet was ignored until now when everyone finally saw him.

The man wore a garment of black, white, green, and gold, with a hood, obscuring his appearance.

He floated in mid-air, with no support under his feet.

Zhang Xiaoman looked coldly at the group of people in ancient attire before him, his heart seething with rage.

He was originally handling Star Alliance affairs on Water Blue Star.

The testing of the Corona Battle Armor had reached a critical stage, and once this last test was completed, he could formally put it to use.

Of course, this series of plans was communicated with the Abnormality Department.

The Star Alliance had also gifted two valuable battle armors and over a dozen sets of battle suits to the other side, to jointly study the technological mysteries of advanced civilizations.

As the Star Lord of the Star Alliance, Zhang Xiaoman naturally participated in the entire process of drafting the plan.

After all, this plan was of great importance; on a larger scale, it could even affect the technological progress of the entire human civilization.

However, while he was busy, news came from Dragon Sleep Mountain through Ye Cang.

Master Liu had disappeared.

Previously, Master Liu had been secluded in his room cultivating the Sword Control Technique. One day, when a disciple went to deliver food, he did not find him.

Originally, such a situation was also considered normal, as cultivating the Sword Control Technique often involved going out to test sword flight.

But Master Liu’s disappearance lasted nearly a week. After three or four times of not seeing him, suspicions naturally arose among the crowd.

Conceiving disciples entered the room to investigate, only to find a layer of dust had accumulated, hardly looking like a place occupied daily.

The disciple then inquired around, and nobody had seen Master Liu recently, leading to the realization that something must be wrong.

He hurried to find Ye Cang, who contacted Zhang Xiaoman, leading to the subsequent events.

Zhang Xiaoman was initially startled. Master Liu was missing? And during his seclusion for Sword Control Technique?

The first thought in his mind was that Master Liu had made a mistake while controlling the sword in flight, fell from the sky, and whether he lived or died was uncertain.

However, when he used Unlimited Teleportation to sense the other party, he found that Master Liu was still alive and unharmed.

The sense from Unlimited Teleportation was somewhat vague, and Zhang Xiaoman could barely discern the surroundings; Master Liu seemed to be among a cluster of buildings.

Nearby appeared to be a crowd, and from the stance, it looked like a standoff.

Without any hesitation, he immediately activated Unlimited Teleportation to head to Master Liu’s location.

The scene that followed left him utterly furious.

Not far in front, hundreds of armored soldiers had drawn their crossbows at the house where Master Liu was located, aiming and shooting a barrage of huge crossbow arrows.

With a wave of his hand, Dark Energy Shock was unleashed.

All the crossbow arrows were wrapped in an invisible force, gathering in mid-air and unable to advance.

Zhang Xiaoman’s current control over Dark Energy was growing daily, and controlling nearly a hundred arrows was manageable for him.

He didn’t know what the current situation was or why these people were attacking Master Liu.

But since they made a move against Master Liu, he naturally couldn’t remain indifferent.

Forcing back the impulse to shoot these arrows back, Zhang Xiaoman clenched his fist from afar, gathered them all into a cluster.

Though he was angry, he hadn’t lost his sanity.

Here were after all hundreds of lives, and before understanding the rights and wrongs of the situation, he wouldn’t rashly kill anyone.

However, punishment was unavoidable.

Under the frightened gazes of the soldiers, a mighty pressure pressed down from above, instantly forcing the hundred-plus people to the ground, unable to move.

“Ah!!!”

Someone let out an unwilling roar, but no matter how they struggled, it was to no avail.

“Great Immortal, spare us…”

Some also pleaded.

The methods exhibited by the opposite person had completely exceeded their understanding.

Inside the house, Pei Laoliu and others also saw the scene unfolding outside.

Apart from the elder, everyone including Yan Jiantong showed a shocked expression.

“Xiaoman!”

Master Liu was the first to run out.

At this moment, where outside stood any officials and soldiers?

Everyone was pressed to the ground by Zhang Xiaoman’s Dark Energy Shock.

“Master Liu? What’s going on?”

Zhang Xiaoman landed, speaking as he carefully examined Master Liu’s body, seeing he was unharmed, he finally relaxed.

“Ahem, I encountered a small accident. I was just about to use Sword Control Technique with my Heaven Splitting Divine Sword to turn the tide when you arrived…”

He spoke while waving the Mountain and River Sword in his hand, posing as if preparing to control the sword.

Li Qiang and Yan Jiantong, who followed behind, were a bit dumbfounded.

They clearly remembered that when Master Liu introduced this sword last time, it wasn’t named this. How come it changed now?

Zhang Xiaoman naturally knew the personality of this old man from his family, so he didn’t expose him, instead inquiring in detail about the cause of all this.
