Chapter 357 Soul Power Clone, Golden Core Shattered
Zhang Lingfeng finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
The reason why he is currently safe and can practice with peace of mind in the alliance camp is mainly due to the protection of Master Tianshui and the other two, especially Master Tianshui, who has penetrated more than 50% of the laws of Titan.
Even the strong ones of Yuyang Palace, who have mastered the magical secret method of integrating their figures into the laws, dare not easily enter Titan Star and run wild.
Once Master Tianshui left, Titan would be like a person who had lost its defense.
People who want to kill him will continue to emerge, and it is even possible that Mengba will take the risk. In short, the situation is very serious.
"Our round trip took at most one and a half months, at most twenty days. I have left various restrictions and magic arrays in the cave, and invited several friends to come over.
No matter what happens, don't leave the cave until we come back."
Soon, Zhang Lingfeng, escorted by Master Tianshui and his two companions, left the alliance camp and arrived at Tianshui City, an underground cave hidden underground in the Tianshui Mansion, which was covered by magic arrays and prohibitions.
Zhang Lingfeng glanced at the magic array around him.
It was discovered that these magic arrays could actually mobilize the power of the laws to form an effective defense that could prevent others from infiltrating with their power or even detecting with their soul power.
"The superior reviewers are on their way and should be here in a few days. They will then conduct a comprehensive inspection and investigation on you. You must do your best and not hide anything.
As long as you can get the attention of the higher-level alliance, even if the Shen family wants to destroy you, they will have to restrain themselves. "
Master Tianshui instructed.
"it is good."
Zhang Lingfeng nodded.
"Besides the three of us, don't trust anyone easily, even other people in the Tianshi Mansion. Even if they are our three friends and want you to leave the cave, don't pay attention to them."
Duan Hemingdao.
There must be a powerful Taoist person by Zhang Lingfeng's side.
"I see."
Zhang Lingfeng knew that in the face of the huge resource subsidies from the Shen and Duan families, even the Dao-seeding strongmen might not be able to hold on to their Dao hearts.
It can be said that if the Shen family wants to kill him at all costs, they can directly instigate the Dao Seed powerhouses or even soul masters in the Black Water Star Domain to kill him.
It just hasn't reached that point yet.
However, as the Shen family learns that he has become a soul master, the Shen family will definitely escalate their methods. Perhaps in order to solve the problem once and for all, they will even seduce the powerful Dao species to betray the Black Water Star Region. This is entirely possible.
So Zhang Lingfeng kept Duan Heming's words in mind.
He couldn't believe anyone's words until Master Tianshui and the other two returned.
But then he thought about the league's censors.
So he asked, "What if it's an inspector?"
"This……"
The three of them didn't know how to tell the difference.
The Shen family is extremely powerful, and was able to get the superior alliance to issue a death order to the three of them, forcing them to leave the Blackwater Star Region. It seemed that they wanted to give them a chance, but in fact it was the Shen family or the Duan family who wanted to create an opportunity to destroy Zhang Lingfeng.
Therefore, the higher-level alliance cannot be trusted 100%.
"There are many ambitious people in the alliance. Although the Shen family is powerful, they dare not act recklessly in front of the upper alliance. So even if someone in the upper alliance is bribed by the Shen family, they will only tamper with it during the review. So when you accept the assessment, you must be careful and don't trust anyone easily."
Master Tianshui said.
"Among this group of examiners, there is a strong man named Mao Shusheng, who had a conflict with the Shen family before and is from the Black Water Star Region. He is one of the persons in charge of this assessment. If you encounter any problems, you can ask him for help."
Duan Hemingdao.
"it is good."
Zhang Lingfeng took note of it silently.
Soon, Master Tianshui and his two companions left the Tianshi Mansion, took the teleportation array to leave Titan, and then entered the interstellar transit station to report to the superior alliance office.
Zhang Lingfeng followed the instructions of the three men and stayed in an underground cave hidden in the Tianshi Mansion, which was heavily guarded and even the powerful Taoists could not break through the defenses.
To be honest, with his soul power reaching the great success level, and each power of the Five Elements Law entering the eighth level, and now able to increase at a rate of 12.5 per day, Zhang Lingfeng was not too worried that he would suffer a loss when facing the review of the superior alliance examiners.
As for those powerful Dao species.
They also have to be able to enter this cave.
The only thing that made Zhang Lingfeng feel regretful was that after Master Tianshui and the other two left, there was no one to guide him in his cultivation, and he could not gain hundreds of thousands of points of lying down value from them every day.
Fortunately, Master Tianshui built the cave for the purpose of practicing in seclusion. Many things in the cave, even the magic arrays, were created for the purpose of practicing.
Staying in such a place, instead of practicing well, lying in bed every day reading novels or daydreaming, is also practicing lying flat to the end, and can earn a considerable lying flat value.
The next day, Zhang Lingfeng hurriedly checked the changes in the lying flat value and the growth rate of soul power.
Lying flat value: 800021
Soul power: 71.45/100
Zhang Lingfeng was pleasantly surprised to find that by lying down in the cave which was blessed with great opportunities, he could actually gain 800,000 lying down points every day, which was actually more than what Master Tianshui and the other two could earn if they took turns teaching him to practice.
He couldn't help but think that if he had stayed in such a place earlier and let Master Tianshui and the other two teach him how to practice, perhaps his Lying Flat Value could increase by as much as two million points every day.
If Master Tianshui and his two companions had not been leaving the Black Water Star Region this time and were worried that he would be in danger, Master Tianshui would not have easily lent the cave to Zhang Lingfeng, no matter how good their relationship was.
After all, the cultivation cave is the most precious place for every practitioner. Every practitioner will carefully decorate his or her own cultivation cave and invest countless financial and material resources, just to avoid problems during cultivation or to ensure that the cave can protect them when encountering an enemy attack.
Therefore, entering other people's practice caves without permission is a big taboo in practice.
What’s more, it is such a hidden cave for cultivation.
If Zhang Lingfeng did not have the hope of breaking the laws of the Black Water Star Domain and helping everyone regain their luck, even if Zhang Lingfeng was Master Tianshui's direct disciple, Master Tianshui would not have given this cave to Zhang Lingfeng for use.
Fortunately, Zhang Lingfeng didn’t care much about anything in the cave.
He only regarded this place as a hiding place, and didn't pay much attention to anything in the cave, let alone rummaging around. On the one hand, this was to avoid touching certain powerful restrictions, and on the other hand, it was to respect Master Tianshui and never mess around in the other's cave.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Tianshui and his companions have already left the Blackwater Star Region. We have been searching for Zhang Lingfeng on Titan for several days, but why can't we sense any fluctuations in his aura? Could it be that Zhang Lingfeng is not on Titan but is hidden on another planet by Tianshui and his companions?"
Duan Shumo looked unhappy.
In order to avoid being discovered, Duan Shumo and Ao Boxuan flew all the way here, fighting with the star monsters in the starry sky. They finally entered the Black Water Star Region silently, and then went straight to Titan.
We have been searching on Titan for five days now, but we still can't sense any fluctuations in Zhang Lingfeng's breath.
There was no sign of Zhang Lingfeng in the alliance camp.
There was no trace of Zhang Lingfeng's activities in the star gate.
Zhang Lingfeng could not be found in the Tianshi Mansion, as if Zhang Lingfeng was not on Titan at all.
"He must be hiding in the Tianshi Mansion."
Ao Boxuan looked confident.
He discovered that there were four more Dao Seed strongmen around the Tianshi Mansion than usual.
Secondly, Tianshi Mansion is the residence of Master Tianshui, and there must be a great terror hidden inside. When Master Tianshui and his two companions left Titan, they must have hidden Zhang Lingfeng in Tianshi Mansion.
It’s just that the two of them haven’t been able to find Zhang Lingfeng’s breath fluctuations for the time being.
"The soul power shackles and law restrictions left by Tianshui are simply impossible to break through with my strength."
Duan Shumo said helplessly.
Ao Boxuan knew what Duan Shumo meant.
If he uses the power of the law of destruction, he can try to break through the defense of the Tianshi Mansion and make everything inside the Tianshi Mansion visible in every detail.
If Zhang Lingfeng hid in it, under the law of destruction, the magic array and restrictions of the Tianshi Mansion would fall into chaos. As long as Zhang Lingfeng was really hiding in it, he would be able to quickly lock onto Zhang Lingfeng's breath fluctuations.
But by doing so, he would be completely exposed.
All the efforts made by the two people before will lose all meaning.
"Wait a minute!"
Ao Boxuan was not in a hurry.
"If we wait any longer, the inspectors will be here soon."
Duan Shumo reminded.
Ao Boxuan did not respond. He would not put himself in danger. If he wanted to take action, he would do it when the time was right.
"You just need to help me find Zhang Lingfeng and allow me to appear in front of Zhang Lingfeng. I will handle the rest myself. If anything goes wrong, I will take the full responsibility."
Duan Shumo said through gritting his teeth.
"Wasn't it like this in the beginning?"
Ao Boxuan asked back.
"you……"
Duan Shumo was speechless.
“I know that you don’t want to destroy Zhang Lingfeng, but want to kill Zhang Lingfeng directly. This is not only a task assigned by the Shen family, but also closely related to whether you can continue to be the number one genius in the primary star field.
Although Zhang Lingfeng and I have a grudge, it's not a fight to the death. I can help you, but I will never be dragged into this by you.
So let's wait a little longer. Tianshui can't just shut out the examiners. They also need the higher-level alliance to recognize Zhang Lingfeng's identity as a soul master so that Zhang Lingfeng can be protected by the higher-level alliance."
Ao Boxuan said slowly and methodically.
"I'm worried that after the alliance recognizes Zhang Lingfeng's identity, we will have even less chance."
Duan Shumo said.
"It all depends on whether you can destroy Zhang Lingfeng before the higher-level alliance verifies his talent."
Ao Boxuan always pushed the difficult problems to Duan Shumo.
He knew very well that Duan Shumo was several times more anxious than himself, whether it was to destroy or get rid of Zhang Lingfeng.
Another three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Finally, there was movement outside the cave.
The representatives of the superior alliance finally arrived at Titan and entered the Tianshi Mansion.
"Mr. Mao, Master Tianshui asked the four of us to look after Zhang Lingfeng. I wonder where you guys want to verify Zhang Lingfeng's identity as a soul master?"
A Dao Seed strongman from the Star Gate asked.
"Does the higher-level alliance need your permission to do anything? Go call Zhang Lingfeng out!"
A female member of the superior alliance said bluntly that this person was called Wei Zifang. She was originally an examiner and should have arrived a few days after Master Tianshui and the other two left. The reason why it was delayed until now was because Wei Zifang had been stalling for time all the way.
The Dao Seed strongman was an elder of Star Gate. Hearing this, he smiled but did not respond, nor did he call Zhang Lingfeng out.
"Asshole, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Wei Zifang was furious.
The law of destruction is ready to take action.
The defensive formation of the Tianshi Mansion, as if being sensed, formed a curtain of light that blocked the few people.
"presumptuous!"
Wei Zifang was completely furious and instigated the Law of Destruction, hoping to take the opportunity to destroy the defenses of the Tianshi Mansion.
"They did this to protect Zhang Lingfeng. This is Tianshui's residence, and they are people arranged by Tianshui. I will contact Tianshui and let him talk to them personally."
Mao Shusheng smiled and stood in front of Wei Zifang.
Then he quickly opened the bracelet and contacted Tianshui at the superior alliance office.
Unfortunately, Tianshui has not responded yet.
Wei Zifang sneered secretly. After the three people from Tianshui entered the superior alliance office, the information on their bracelets was blocked. How could Mao Shusheng contact Tianshui?
“I suspect that Tianshui lied about Zhang Lingfeng becoming a spirit master and hid Zhang Lingfeng away. We have come from afar, how can we be teased by a small member of the lower-level alliance.
Since they are unwilling to hand over the person, don't blame me for being rude!"
Wei Zifang did not hesitate to mobilize the power of the law of destruction and defeat the forbidden magic formation of the Tianshi Mansion.
"boom!"
The Star Gate elder was caught off guard and injured by the Law of Destruction. He was seriously wounded on the spot, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of his body, as if his body would collapse at any time.
Although the vitality of Dao Seed strongmen has undergone a transformation and can no longer be measured in numbers, it is still a very exhausting thing to use the power of Dao Seed to reshape the body.
Wei Zifang's attack caused heavy losses to the Star Gate elder in front of him.
"Don't mess around!"
Mao Shusheng stopped him.
He had long seen that Wei Zifang had been planning this for a long time and was well prepared.
"Then hand over Zhang Lingfeng."
Wei Zifang snorted coldly.
Regardless of anything, he mobilized the power of the Law of Destruction to destroy the forbidden arrays in the Tianshi Mansion. In front of the Law of Destruction, even Master Tianshui himself would suffer. Unless his soul power could undergo a transformation, or his penetration of the laws of Titan Star reached 70%, it would be impossible to resist.
The Tianshi Mansion, which seemed impregnable, became shaky under the power of Wei Zifang's law of destruction. Various buildings and magic arrays collapsed one after another, and cries for help were heard one after another in the Tianshi Mansion.
A scene of hell on earth.
"Oh no, could it be that the strong men from the Duan and Shen families are coming to kill us?"
Under the Tianshi Mansion, in a cave covered by multiple layers of defensive magic arrays and even talismans of laws, Zhang Lingfeng's expression suddenly changed. At this moment, his soul power has reached perfection and the Five Elements Law has also entered the ninth level. How could he not feel such a big commotion outside?
"The opportunity has come."
Duan Shumo looked very happy.
I didn't expect that among the examiners, there would be someone as domineering as Wei Zifang, who destroyed the Tianshi Mansion over a single disagreement.
Ao Boxuan was horrified by what he saw.
Wei Zifang is his superior, and his control over the law of destruction has reached the third level. Even he cannot gain any advantage.
The other party’s current strength is related to the help of the Shen family.
It seems that the Shen family already knew that Zhang Lingfeng had become a soul master, and they specifically asked Wei Zifang to take the opportunity to get rid of Zhang Lingfeng.
"What are you doing?"
Mao Shusheng knew the purpose of Wei Zifang's doing this, but Zhang Lingfeng was nowhere to be seen at the moment, and he was powerless. He could only restrain Wei Zifang's power to prevent the Tianshi Mansion from becoming ruins.
"I know you are from the Black Water Star Region. Do you want to disobey the orders of the superior alliance and deceive the superior alliance together with Tianshui?"
Wei Zifang questioned.
"Don't slander me. Give me some time and I will let you meet Zhang Lingfeng.
Mao Shusheng said.
"I want to see him now. If you try to stop me, you will be suspected of disobeying the orders of the higher-ups and shielding Zhang Lingfeng."
Wei Zifang showed no mercy at all.
"Come out!"
Then she roared.
The law of destruction was exerted to the extreme. This force caused the laws of Titan to lose balance, resulting in slight chaos, and violent storms swept across Titan.
The protective magic circle in the Tianshi Mansion seemed to be washed away completely, and the cave hidden underground was instantly exposed to sight.
Countless people from the Tianshi Mansion were crushed to pieces by this law of destruction.
"there!"
Duan Shumo's eyes lit up.
Under the fluctuation of Wei Zifang's law power, he finally saw the cave underground and captured the fluctuation of Zhang Lingfeng's breath.
"I'll take you there!"
Ao Boxuan also mobilized the law of destruction, causing a crack to appear in the cave at the critical moment.
"it is good!"
Duan Shumo rushed in through the crack without saying anything.
“I will personally examine Zhang Lingfeng.
Wei Zifang followed closely behind.
"boom!"
However, at this moment, a terrifying soul power fluctuation was released from the crack in the cave.
"puff!"
Duan Shumo was the first to be hit.
The six-star golden elixir was crumbling and countless cracks appeared.
His body flew backwards and fell in front of everyone.
Wei Zifang's figure was also blocked by that soul power.
Mao Shusheng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and quickly followed the crack into the cave.
"If you want to test whether Zhang Lingfeng is a spirit master, just inform me. Why do you have to mess up my mansion like this? So many people were killed or injured in an inspection. Isn't Inspector Wei afraid of taking responsibility?"
A figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.
It turned out to be Master Tianshui.
"You didn't leave Titan?"
Duan Shumo was lying on the ground spitting out blood. Countless cracks appeared on his golden elixir and his foundation was severely damaged. Unless a powerful person with great supernatural powers came to help repair it, he would lose the title of the number one genius in this primary star field.
"It turned out to be Master Duan. I thought it was a human traitor who came to attack, so I didn't pay attention for a moment and attacked him too hard." Master Tianshui said innocently, "Well, if it weren't for the interference of the Law of Destruction of Inspector Wei, I wouldn't have failed to notice Master Duan. It's just a little strange. Master Duan had already left, so why did he suddenly return to Titan? And there is no record of you returning to Titan in the interstellar transfer station. Could it be that Master Duan has bad intentions, otherwise why would he trespass into my cave?"
Master Tianshui asked continuously.
"you……"
Duan Shumo was speechless, he was so angry that his golden elixir had several more cracks on it.
"You have already left the Black Water Star Region, but you have still left a soul clone here. It seems that your soul power has entered the transformation stage."
Wei Zifang looked incredulous.
The Master Tianshui in front of him is just a soul clone.
"Inspector Wei has a keen eye, and I admire him.
Master Tianshui laughed.
"The superior asked you to go and claim the reward, so why did you leave a soul clone here? Do you not trust the superior?"
Wei Zifang said angrily.
The law of destruction swept towards Tianshui's soul clone.
"Don't dare!"
Master Tianshui laughed, his soul power automatically dissipated, and his clone instantly turned into ashes.
Superior Alliance Office.
Tianshui opened his eyes.
How could he not have left a backup plan when leaving Titan this time?
Looking at the bracelet with blocked signal, he sneered, and followed Duan Heming and Bai Xinghe to accept commendation from his superiors.
"I have verified that Zhang Lingfeng is a genuine soul master, and have uploaded the review records to the higher-ups. Inspector Wei can check it out in person."
At this time, Mao Shusheng led Zhang Lingfeng out of the cave.
Zhang Lingfeng stood beside Mao Shusheng, actively releasing his soul power fluctuations to tell everyone that he was a genuine soul master. When he saw Duan Shumo appear in the ruins, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Duan, how are you?"
Duan Shumo's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Knowing that he was being fooled by Master Tianshui and Zhang Lingfeng, not only did he fail to destroy Zhang Lingfeng, his own golden elixir was also severely damaged by Tianshui's soul incarnation.
He also entered the Blackwater Star Region privately with bad intentions and was caught red-handed by Tianshui. The relevant evidence must have been uploaded to the superior alliance.
Even if the Duan family could help him clean up the mess, he had already suffered huge losses and it was impossible for him to escape unscathed.
"What a waste."
Ao Boxuan snorted coldly and left quietly without exposing himself to everyone.
"I must kill him!"
Duan Shumo swore secretly in his heart.
"It's just an inspection. Since you really have become a soul master, come with us to the alliance camp! No matter who you have offended, the alliance will do everything in its power to ensure your safety."
Wei Zifang smiled.
Whether it is the soul power fluctuations released by Zhang Lingfeng at this moment, or the review records uploaded by Mao Shusheng, they all show that there is no problem with Zhang Lingfeng's identity as a soul master.
"Follow me."
Mao Shusheng said indifferently.
"Ah."
Zhang Lingfeng followed closely on his right.
There was actually a soul clone of Master Tianshui hidden in the cave. Zhang Lingfeng only discovered it when the cave was about to be broken.
Master Tianshui knew that the first person who broke into the cave must have bad intentions and wanted to kill Zhang Lingfeng. He just didn't expect that it would be Duan Shumo, who was hailed as the number one genius in the primary star field.
He was just about to kill Duan Shumo.
Fortunately, his logic was sound, and in public, the relevant records had been uploaded to the superior alliance by him, so Master Tianshui did not have to worry about being punished.
As for offending the Duan family and being retaliated by the strong men of the Duan family, Master Tianshui will have the means to deal with it as long as he returns to Titan.
Not only is he a soul master, he has also penetrated nearly 70% of the laws of Titan. Titan is like his domain, and not even Wei Zifang can take advantage of him.
What's more, they have just received awards from the higher-level alliance.
Everything is done to ensure Zhang Lingfeng's safety. Even if the Duan family wants to retaliate, they dare not do it openly.
"I asked you to stay at the interstellar transfer station and pick us up at the Blackwater Star Region. Why did you come here alone? Tianshui even misunderstood that you were going to hurt Zhang Lingfeng."
Wei Zifang suddenly said to Duan Shumo who was seriously injured.
"I was wandering in the starry sky and encountered a giant star demon. I didn't want to pull it away, but my position shifted and I inexplicably returned to the Black Water Star Region.
Duan Shumo reacted quickly and explained.
"Since it was a misunderstanding, go back and write a report to me. But you asked for it when Master Tianshui accidentally injured you. You can't blame him."
Wei Zifang reminded.
"Yes, I understand."
Duan Shumo nodded.
Zhang Lingfeng was furious, but Wei Zifang covered up the fact that Duan Shumo had betrayed the alliance and wanted to destroy him with just a few words.
Mao Shusheng pulled Zhang Lingfeng and signaled Zhang Lingfeng not to act rashly.
If Duan Shumo is pursued by the alliance, the Duan family will not let the alliance do anything to Duan Shumo. At most, Duan Shumo's reputation will be ruined and the Duan family will lose a large part of their cultivation resources.
That would also aggravate the feud between Tianshui and the Duan family.
It even created a huge gap between the monks in the Whirlwind Star Region and the monks in the Blackwater Star Region.
This is not a good thing for the Blackwater Star Region, which is bound by the laws of the Shen family and has scarce resources.
Wei Zifang glanced at Duan Shumo indifferently, then flew forward and arrived at the alliance camp first.
Duan Shumo followed closely behind the crowd, seemingly lost in thought.
When they arrived at the alliance camp, Wei Zifang said, "Inspector Mao, let's discuss how to arrange for Zhang Lingfeng."
"Okay, Zhang Lingfeng, come with me and listen to what Inspector Wei has planned."
Mao Shusheng said.
"Please ask Inspector Mao to come here alone. There are some things that Zhang Lingfeng cannot know right now. In addition, this is the Alliance camp. Zhang Lingfeng's identity as a spirit master has been verified. If he has problems under our noses, I think none of us will be able to get away with it."
Wei Zifang knew what Mao Shusheng meant.
Mao Shusheng frowned, and couldn't help looking around. He looked at Duan Shumo again, and thought to himself, "Wei Zifang finally helped him clear the suspicion of being a traitor to humanity and deliberately attacking Zhang Lingfeng. This guy shouldn't do anything reckless.
Wei Zifang is also right. Zhang Lingfeng's identity as a spirit master has been verified. If Zhang Lingfeng gets into trouble in the camp, both of us will be blamed."
“Inspector Wei misunderstood, that’s not what I meant.
Mao Shusheng smiled and followed Wei Zifang's pace.
"Stay in the camp and don't run around."
At the same time, he did not forget to send a message to Zhang Lingfeng to remind him.
"Cough cough!"
Duan Shumo was coughing violently, his eyes gradually locked onto Zhang Lingfeng. His pale face showed vicious thoughts. At this moment, getting rid of Zhang Lingfeng was not only a matter of his own reputation, but also related to whether his golden elixir could be repaired.
He had been seriously injured.
Countless cracks appeared in the golden elixir, and a strong person with great supernatural powers was needed to help repair it.
Even if the Duan family possesses a third-system cultivation method that can practice magical secrets, there is no powerful person with magical powers who can help him repair his golden elixir and ensure that there are no problems with his foundation.
Therefore, the only people who can help him repair his golden elixir and ensure that his strength and promotion are not affected in any way are the Shen family.
Only if he destroys Zhang Lingfeng and ensures that the Shen family can rest assured, will the Shen family help him repair the golden elixir and solve many subsequent troubles, so Zhang Lingfeng must die!
Thinking of this, when Wei Zifang and Mao Shusheng disappeared from sight, Duan Shumo moved, exerted all his strength to mobilize the power of the golden elixir, and slashed at Zhang Lingfeng with a knife. (End of this chapter)
