C554 Star Door

Woo Zhengyang didn't plan to bring up the matter of Yu Wenqing himself, nor did he intend to hide it, especially when questioned by the people of the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion. He wasn't afraid to speak up.

So, Woo Zhengyang laid it all out. On one hand, he was committed to his bold warrior spirit; on the other, he was ready for a confrontation with the members of the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion. The reason for this conflict was simple: he wanted to draw out the woman named Yun'er.

This idea was wild, but it was the truth. Woo Zhengyang was set on opposing the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion!

Initially, Woo Zhengyang aimed to join the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion, but now he had a more pressing goal: to uncover the situation with Bing'er, Rice, and the others. If there was a conflict between the two goals, Woo Zhengyang would choose the latter.

Since entering this starry world, Woo Zhengyang had been trying to find the elusive Yun'er, but she hadn't appeared, leaving him uneasy.

When the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion mentioned Yu Wenqing, Woo Zhengyang had a new plan: if Yun'er wouldn't show herself, he'd force her hand. From past experiences, it seemed Yun'er was deeply concerned about Woo Zhengyang's fate. If the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion decided to act against him, Woo Zhengyang knew he wouldn't stand a chance. In such a scenario, would Yun'er finally reveal herself?

Of course, Woo Zhengyang wasn't foolish enough to back himself into a corner. Before doing anything, he casually took out a Heavenly Essence Stone and then put it back. To others, this seemed like a meaningless gesture, but Woo Zhengyang knew its significance was immense.

The stone was taken from the Hidden Heaven Bag and ultimately placed inside the Ice Crystal Fire Hall. This hall was Woo Zhengyang's last resort. Even if the woman named Yun'er didn't show up, Woo Zhengyang had his own ace up his sleeve.

Everything unfolded as Woo Zhengyang anticipated. Youth Zheng was even ready to make a move. What Woo Zhengyang didn't expect was for Situ Jingxiang to step in on his behalf, risking offending the people from the Heavenly Mirror Pavilion.

However, Woo Zhengyang would never speak of this. No matter what, Situ Jingxiang's actions were for his sake, and Woo Zhengyang couldn't help but be grateful, keeping everything to himself.

As for Situ Jingxiang's suggestion that Woo Zhengyang should leave as soon as possible, he couldn't do that—not until he found Bing'er and the other three women.

While Woo Zhengyang was lost in thought, Situ Jingxiang had already grabbed his hand and was leading him forward.

Woo Zhengyang was a bit puzzled, but he knew Situ Jingxiang wouldn't deceive him. So, he followed her to the center of the plaza.

There, Woo Zhengyang saw plaques hanging on the black and white palaces on either side of the plaza. The black palace was named the Star Pavilion, and the white one was called the Hundred Flower Palace.

"Hundred Flower Palace?"

At the sight of the Hundred Flower Palace, Woo Zhengyang's mind became lively. He clearly remembered that the woman named Yun'er had told him to find her at the Hundred Flower Palace when she first appeared. Could this be the same Hundred Flower Palace she mentioned?

Upon seeing the Hundred Flower Palace, Woo Zhengyang's first instinct was to go over and investigate. However, Situ Jingxiang held him back, leading him to the end of the plaza as she said, "We've tried it all. Whether it's the Star Pavilion or the Hundred Flower Palace, we can't get close to them."

At the end of the plaza, there was a massive vortex made up of countless stars, which must have been the Star Gate Situ Jingxiang mentioned earlier.

"Place your whip there," Situ Jingxiang instructed, pointing to a spot.

In the direction she pointed, there were twenty small black vortices. Nineteen of them each held a whip, swirling and absorbing the surrounding starlight, leaving just one vortex empty.

Woo Zhengyang took the long whip from his waist and placed it into the vortex, finally receiving a prompt that the curse was lifted.

Then, a golden light spread from the massive vortex, turning the surrounding starry sky into a brilliant gold. A powerful force pulled Woo Zhengyang, Situ Jingxiang, and the others into the vortex, leaving them powerless to resist.

As the golden light flashed, they found themselves in an even more dazzling starry world, where stars twinkled and meteors streaked across the sky in a breathtaking display. However, it didn't take long for them to realize the danger hidden behind this beauty.

Those streaking "meteors" were actually weapons—spears, swords, heavy knives, and hammers—all flying toward them with fierce momentum. In an instant, the first wave of these weapons reached them.

Without hesitation, everyone drew their weapons to defend themselves, unleashing their skills and techniques in a flurry of action. A dark green dagger flew toward Woo Zhengyang, exuding an eerie aura.

Channeling his energy, he swung the No Life Sword with full force at the dagger.

"Clang..."

The sound of metal clashing rang out as the dagger was deflected, but as it flew away, a dark green light, like venom, sprayed toward Woo Zhengyang.

Woo Zhengyang's expression shifted slightly, but he didn't have time to worry about anything else. He summoned the power of the Profound Heaven Fire within him, combining it with his life force to form a protective shield around his body.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

As the dark green liquid made contact with the fiery shield, the sound of corrosion and burning filled the air. Woo Zhengyang could clearly feel his life force and the power of the Profound Heaven Fire being steadily consumed. After a few breaths, the dark green liquid was finally neutralized.

"This..."

Even though the liquid had vanished, Woo Zhengyang was even more shocked. His Profound Heaven Fire was no ordinary flame; few things in the world could withstand it. Until now, he had never encountered anything that could match its power. Even the deadly toxins of the Moon Light Martial Mansion would disintegrate upon contact with the Profound Heaven Fire.

Yet, this dark green liquid, merely a poison on a dagger, could endure the Profound Heaven Fire for several moments, and that was with only a small amount of it. If there had been more of the liquid, it would have lasted even longer.

If the dark green liquid continued its assault, Woo Zhengyang feared that both his life force and the power of the Profound Heaven Fire would be completely depleted.

When the time comes, the consequences will be unimaginable...
