“Look, the lords of the Starfield Main Realm are here!!!”
At that moment, waves of excited and thrilled shouts erupted from outside.
Looking out, they saw over a hundred massive war chariots approaching in perfect formation through the sky!!!
The chariots were imposing and majestic, their fluttering banners striking awe and reverence into the onlookers.
Even the previously noisy surroundings quieted significantly the moment these chariots appeared.
And for no other reason than the four bold characters on those banners: Starfield Main Realm!!!
“The people from the Starfield Main Realm arrived early?”
Many within the Tantai Heavenly Clan exchanged surprised glances.
“It’s not that our Starfield Main Realm arrived early—it’s that the Linghu Heavenly Clan is late,” Wuming Xingyun said, his expression stern and his eyes flashing with displeasure.
Seeing Wuming Xingyun like this, everyone on the warship quickly shut their mouths.
The tension between the Linghu Heavenly Clan and the Starfield Main Realm was no secret. For the position of overlord of the Ancestral Martial Starfield, a clash between them was inevitable.
But when that day actually loomed, fear crept into everyone’s hearts. No one knew if this future struggle for dominance would drag them into the fray.
Today, the Linghu Heavenly Clan’s delay in showing up was a clear challenge to the Starfield Main Realm.
And given the Starfield Main Realm’s temperament, they wouldn’t tolerate such a slight.
The Tantai Heavenly Clan members couldn’t help but grow tense.
“Look, the Linghu Heavenly Clan is here too!”
Just then, another exclamation rang out.
Following the sound, they spotted ten war chariots emerging from the distance.
Indeed, it was the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
Though their ten chariots carried a grander presence compared to the Tantai Heavenly Clan’s three warships, they paled in comparison to the Starfield Main Realm’s hundred-plus chariots.
“Senior, could it be a misunderstanding? Judging by the Linghu Heavenly Clan’s appearance today, it doesn’t seem intentional. Maybe they ran into some trouble on the way and got delayed?” Tantai Xing’er suggested.
“Perhaps,” Wuming Xingyun replied.
In truth, seeing the Linghu Heavenly Clan arrive with just ten chariots eased the anger in his eyes considerably.
If they’d shown up with a hundred chariots, it would’ve been a blatant declaration of war against the Starfield Main Realm.
But with only ten, their presence was still far weaker than the Starfield Main Realm’s—it hardly counted as provocation.
Moreover, the Linghu Heavenly Clan’s chariots moved swiftly, quickly entering the VIP area and leaving the central, most prominent section open.
These actions all signaled that the Linghu Heavenly Clan had no intention of challenging the Starfield Main Realm—at least not yet.
Noticing this, many who understood the situation breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, they were here today to watch the young geniuses compete.
No one wanted the Starfield Main Realm and the Linghu Heavenly Clan to start fighting now.
“Look, the lords of the Starfield Main Realm are coming out—they’re heading for the Pinnacle Pillars!”
“They’re going to change the names!”
Soon, the crowd stirred again, buzzing with excitement.
A group from the Starfield Main Realm flew out from their chariots. Leading them was an elder holding a giant brush, a thousand meters long.
That was the tool used to alter the names on the Pinnacle Pillars.
“What’s this about?” Chu Feng asked.
Tantai Xing’er quickly stepped in to explain.
After her rundown, Chu Feng and Wuma Shengjie finally grasped the significance of the Pinnacle Pillars.
Now, both watched the pillars with keen interest, eager to see whose names would be etched upon them after the changes.
After all, having your name directly carved onto a Pinnacle Pillar was no small honor.
Finally, the elder with the giant brush reached the pillar bearing Li Anzhi’s name.
*Swish—*
With a flourish of his brush, light flared, and the three characters “Li Anzhi” vanished.
Then, with swift strokes, the elder inscribed four new characters onto the pillar.
When those four characters appeared, the crowd reacted variably—some with disappointment, others with disbelief, some with sighs, and a few with joy.
But the one with the most complicated expression was Wuma Shengjie.
Because, at that moment, the four characters now etched on the pillar read: Wuma Shengjie.
“It’s actually me?”
The usually stoic Wuma Shengjie’s eyes widened, his youthful face brimming with surprise.
“Young friend Wuma Shengjie, you’re worthy of this honor,” Wuming Xingyun said with a smile, patting his shoulder.
“Yes, the lord is right—he’s worthy! Our Shengjie absolutely deserves this honor!” the Wuma Heavenly Clan patriarch chimed in, his voice trembling with excitement, his eyes even misting over.
For the Wuma Heavenly Clan, this was a moment of ancestral pride.
In his lifetime, he couldn’t lead the main clan to surpass the branch clan, but in Wuma Shengjie, he saw hope.
“Look, that lord is about to change the pillar with Linghu Hongfei’s name!” Suddenly, the vast crowd grew animated again.
Compared to the pillar with Li Anzhi’s name, the one bearing Linghu Hongfei’s was far more significant.
Everyone wanted to know…
Who could possibly replace Linghu Hongfei?
Who was the extraordinary figure whose name would be carved onto that first-ranked Pinnacle Pillar!!!
