Chapter 448: Entering the Shen Kingdom Star Region
Zhang Lingfeng was quick-witted and figured out the key point quickly.
However, for the time being, he was unable to figure out Huang Xiangu's identity. He didn't know whether she was a pure disciple of Gu Yue Sect or a member of other forces.
But he knew clearly that in order to drive Huang Xiangu to kill him in Guyue Sect, the Shen family must have given her some benefits. This benefit was enough to make Huang Xiangu take the risk and attack him in Guyue Sect.
However, no matter what, Zhang Lingfeng would never have thought at this moment that Shen Junsong would actually use the world seed to exchange with the Shadow Alliance and take this opportunity to kill him.
After all, he had already learned from Emperor Yaozong and Manager Ma about the importance of the World Seed, and the Shen family would not give up the World Seed easily.
Although he had become a great immortal in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it was not to the point where the Shen family would directly use the World Seed to kill him.
There is nothing wrong with Zhang Lingfeng's idea.
He even felt that even if he became a powerful Mahayana master, the Shen family would not necessarily use the world seeds to kill him. Compared to him, the value of the world seeds was simply a world of difference.
How could I have the ability to force the Shen family to this point?
He decided to contact Yan Jingchu and tell him what happened here.
"No, I have to tell Mr. Di."
Zhang Lingfeng discovered that his communication facilities had been blocked by Yan Jingchu. He also realized that it was not a safe thing to contact Yan Jingchu at this time, as he did not know much about Yan Jingchu.
So I contacted Tian Mingyue.
An hour passed quickly.
The members of the Shadow Alliance were already at the designated location, waiting for Huang Xiangu to leave. However, when she showed up, they immediately told the news to the Bishop, Golden Heavenly Venerable.
"Failed?"
When Golden Heavenly Venerable learned that Huang Xiangu did not leave Guyue Sect at the appointed time, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly checked Huang Xiangu's life plaque. He saw that Huang Xiangu's life plaque was shattered to the ground, which meant that Huang Xiangu was dead and her soul had scattered, without even a chance of resurrection.
"How could it fail?"
Golden Heavenly Master was completely puzzled.
As the bishop of the Shadow Alliance, he was well aware of Huang Xiangu's status, position and strength in the Guyue Sect. If it were not for obtaining the world seed, he would not let Huang Xiangu kill Zhang Lingfeng.
Because only in this way can you be sure of success.
As a result, what I thought was a sure thing failed.
Huang Xiangu is actually dead.
And before that, Huang Xiangu had just sent back a message, telling him that she thought it would be completed within an hour. This means that an hour ago, Huang Xiangu was full of confidence and thought that killing Zhang Lingfeng would be an easy task.
It is hard to imagine what happened to Huang Xiangu that prevented her from completing the mission. Even if she encountered a strong man guarding Zhang Lingfeng, she should have had the opportunity to inform him through communication!
"Ding dong."
Shen Junsong saw that an hour had passed and he had not received any news about Zhang Lingfeng's death and the Black Water Star Region becoming an ownerless star region, so he took the initiative to contact Golden Heavenly Venerable.
Golden Heavenly Venerable remained calm and unhurried, and replied, "What I mean is that in one hour, I will arrange for someone to get rid of Zhang Lingfeng. Just wait for the good news!"
"Oh."
Shen Junsong felt a little strange, but the Shadow Alliance was extremely powerful, and its strength had penetrated into all major star fields. Its presence could be seen in the seven major galaxies, and even the Seven Stars Alliance had to keep a distance from it. He didn't think that the Shadow Alliance could not deal with Zhang Lingfeng.
So under the deception of Golden Heavenly Venerable, Shen Junsong thought that he had misunderstood.
But to be on the safe side, he asked again, "Your Excellency the Bishop can kill Zhang Lingfeng within three days, right?"
"of course."
Huang Xiangu died mysteriously without any signs or warnings. Golden Heavenly Venerable obviously felt something was wrong, but facing Shen Junsong's question, as one of the Lord Bishops of the Shadow Alliance, he still answered confidently.
"Thank you, Lord Bishop."
Shen Junsong hung up the phone contentedly.
Inside the Guyue Sect.
When Zhang Lingfeng told Tian Mingyue the news, Tian Mingyue immediately contacted Di Yaozong. Di Yaozong was both a member of the alliance and a cultivator of Guyue Sect. Upon learning about this, he realized something was wrong and quietly returned to Guyue Sect and appeared in Zhang Lingfeng's cave.
"I have already investigated Huang Xiangu's resume and the entire process of her birth. She is a life form in the Ancient Moon Sect's star domain, and there have been no problems so far.
The only thing is that when she became a disciple of Guyue Sect and entered Abyss No. 1 for training, she disappeared for three years. According to her statement, she said that she was trapped in Abyss No. 1, a twisted space, and could not get out. There she gained enlightenment, and her strength increased greatly. In the days that followed, she made great contributions continuously, and finally became an inner disciple of Guyue Sect. Because she is sociable and helpful, many people call her Huang Xiangu.
Now it seems that perhaps something went wrong during those three years of disappearance.
Your number one enemy, besides the Shen family, is the Centaur family from another world outside Abyss One. Could it be that during the three years that Huang Xiangu was missing, she was not trapped in a distorted space, but entered another world and became involved with the Centaur family?"
Even the Di Yao Sect did not doubt at this moment that the Shen family would use the World Seed to eliminate Zhang Lingfeng, because the World Seed was too important. Secondly, if the Shen family did this, perhaps countless people would find ways to kill Zhang Lingfeng. At the same time, there would be countless people who would deal with the Shen family at all costs and want to snatch the World Seed from the Shen family, and would not hesitate to destroy the World Seed.
In the hearts of many people, if they cannot get a treasure like the World Seed, they would rather destroy it.
"It sounds like it makes sense, but I don't think it's right."
Zhang Lingfeng shook his head.
"Why?"
Di Yaozong asked.
"My soul power has undergone the fifth transformation. If Huang Xiangu is related to the Centaur family, she will definitely be able to sense the abnormal aura fluctuations when my soul power penetrates into her body."
Zhang Lingfeng said.
Although Huang Xiangu has good fortune and true energy, that good fortune and true energy has nothing to do with the bloodline of the Centaur family. It is a power that Huang Xiangu has cultivated with great pains.
Because he had destroyed the balance of Ma Fei's bloodline power and felt the other party's power and breath fluctuations, Zhang Lingfeng did not think that Huang Xiangu would be a member of the Centaur family and be involved with the other world.
"If it's not the Centaur family, then it can only be the Shen family. But what virtue and ability does the Shen family have to make Huang Xiangu risk her life and be hunted down by the Ancient Moon Sect just to kill you?"
Di Yaozong frowned.
"Master."
"There are only two reasons why Senior Sister Huang did this. Either she could gain more benefits than the risk by killing Zhang Lingfeng, or she was instructed by someone to do it. After the deed was done, she would not only receive a generous reward, but also someone would protect her safety."
Tian Mingyue said.
"Shadow Alliance!"
After hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng and Di Yaozong thought carefully and said in unison.
Tian Mingyue’s question is very easy to answer.
In the entire intermediate star field, the only forces that can confront the Ancient Moon Sect, besides the Alliance, is the Shadow Alliance. The Alliance has tried every means to infiltrate its members into the Ancient Moon Sect. Although it has not yet achieved 100% infiltration, the Ancient Moon Sect is already a part of the Alliance.
In addition, Zhang Lingfeng is not only a disciple of Guyue Sect, but also a member of the alliance. It is impossible for the alliance to let Huang Xiangu kill him. Huang Xiangu is willing to do so and can gain benefits from the alliance.
If there is, it can only represent the individual.
As for individual strength, even Di Yao Zong or Ma Guanshi could not compete with Gu Yue Zong, so the answer is easy to come out, that is the Shadow Alliance.
"The Shen family asked the Shadow Alliance to issue a mission or send strong men to Gu Yue Sect to kill me."
"Huang Xiangu is from the Shadow Alliance."
"How many spirit stones did the Shen family give to the Shadow Alliance?"
The three of them suddenly realized.
"Ordinary spirit stones are not enough to make the Shadow Alliance sacrifice Huang Xiangu in order to kill you."
Di Yaozong shook his head.
"World Seed."
Tian Mingyue said.
"impossible."
Zhang Lingfeng just shook his head.
Di Yaozong also shook his head, but after thinking about it, he felt that it might not be impossible, and said: "Shen Rufeng failed to overcome the tribulation, but you were able to come out of Shen Rufeng's tribulation safely and thus became a tribulation-overcoming immortal. Perhaps your appearance has made the Shen family desperate and forced them to take risks?"
"What does Mr. Di mean?"
Zhang Lingfeng was full of curiosity.
"This is just my guess. If it goes as I expected, Shen Junsong knows that the Shen family can no longer keep the world seed. Even after Shen Rufeng's death, whether it is the Alliance or the Ancient Moon Sect, even the Shadow Alliance and the major financial groups and families, they are all communicating with the Shen family, promising favorable conditions to let them give up the world seed.
If they hand over the World Seed to the Shadow Alliance, and killing you is just one of the conditions, then all the problems will be solved."
Di Yaozong explained.
As a powerful Mahayana master, before he gained enlightenment from Zhang Lingfeng and understood the true meaning of life, he had been staring at the world seed in the Shen family's hands.
A world seed is enough to make the Shadow Alliance or major forces do various things for the Shen family.
If the Shen family hands over the world seed to the Shen family, then letting the Shadow Alliance kill Zhang Lingfeng and avenge Shen Qiaoan and Shen Rufeng would just be a side job and would not be difficult for the Shadow Alliance.
"How can we be sure that the Shadow Alliance and the Shen family have made a deal?"
Tian Mingyue asked.
"It's very simple. If the Shen family really handed over the world seed to the Shadow Alliance, they would definitely be protected by the Shadow Alliance. As long as someone attacks the Shen family and is stopped by someone outside the Shen family, whether it is the Shadow Alliance or not, it can be confirmed that the Shen family has handed over the world seed."
Zhang Lingfeng explained.
"My junior brother said it was good."
Tian Mingyue nodded, and then she and Zhang Lingfeng looked at Di Yaozong.
"The analysis makes sense."
Di Yaozong also nodded.
Zhang Lingfeng and Tian Mingyue didn't say anything and continued to look at Di Yaozong.
"Two cunning little fellows, well, let me give it a try."
Di Yaozong was speechless.
In order to test whether the Shen family is protected by the Shadow Alliance, an ordinary immortal who has transcended tribulation may not use it, even if Zhang Lingfeng takes action. Only a strong man of his level can determine the result.
“If the Shen family really uses the World Seed to exchange with the Shadow Alliance, the Shadow Alliance will definitely continue to send strong men to kill you, and complete it in the near future. Gu Yue Sect can also take this opportunity to catch the Shadow Alliance members hiding in the sect.
You continue to stay in the cave.
I will leave an avatar to protect you. You are not allowed to leave here without my permission."
Emperor Yaozong explained.
"it is good."
Zhang Lingfeng and Tian Mingyue watched Di Yaozong's true body disappear from their sight.
"Let's play mahjong!"
Zhang Lingfeng said to Tian Mingyue.
"Are you still in the mood to play mahjong at this time?"
Tian Mingyue was speechless.
Zhang Lingfeng did not explain much. He had to hurry up to obtain more lying points and improve his strength as soon as possible. He was worried that if the Shen family really handed over the world seeds to deal with him, then the Shadow Alliance would definitely use the great masters to deal with him after a series of failures.
Even if he had mastered the original power of life, he would be like an ant in front of a powerful Mahayana master.
Now, he can't trust anyone except Di Yaozong and a few others.
The Shadow Alliance's influence is very extensive, infiltrating every star field and even every planet. Their presence can also be seen in the world above. The seemingly impregnable Ancient Moon Sect may already be riddled with holes.
Imagine that when a great immortal who has transcended tribulation and is feeling hopeless about becoming a Mahayana master, someone from the Shadow League suddenly steps forward and helps him become a Mahayana master. Then, will there be a Mahayana master from the Guyue Sect who will become a member of the Shadow League?
Fortunately, the Gu Yue Sect itself has mastered a complete set of cultivation techniques, so it is not easy for the Shadow Alliance to infiltrate.
But it is better to be safe than sorry, so Zhang Lingfeng still needs to be cautious.
Di Yaozong left the Guyue Sect star field through the space window, and then reached the teleportation array, approaching the Shen Kingdom star field. He released powerful life force fluctuations and rushed towards Shen Junsong's palace.
It was like a meteor, about to penetrate the Shen Kingdom’s star region directly.
The horrifying fluctuations of life force stunned Shen Junsong and others, and various defensive formations were instantly activated.
"Mr. Di, what are you doing?" Shen Wang discovered that the person who came was actually Di Yaozong.
Could it be that Zhang Lingfeng is already dead, and the Di Yao Sect is coming to seek revenge on them, or to snatch the world seed?
Emperor Yaozong said nothing, and the powerful life fluctuations were bound to subvert the laws and order of the entire Shenguo Star Region, causing great turmoil in the life of the Shenguo Star Region.
"Oh!"
He crashed through one formation after another.
He rushed straight to Shen Junsong's palace, locked onto the traces of Shen Wang and Shen Junsong, then stretched out his hand forward, and the terrifying fluctuations of luck and true energy surged down, as if it could crush Shen Junsong and Shen Wang into pieces in an instant.
But at this moment, a shield of luck and true essence appeared.
It instantly covered Shen Junsong’s palace.
At the same time, the turbulent laws and order of the Shen Kingdom star field gradually returned to a stable state as several powerful life forces infiltrated in.
"Shadow Alliance, it's really you."
Di Yaozong saw a deacon elder in the Shadow Alliance who was at the same level as him.
Then he withdrew his body.
He pinched a space symbol in his hand, forming a space window, and quickly disappeared in front of the powerful auras. At this moment, the news that the Shen family was exchanging the world seeds with the Shadow Alliance was quickly leaked out.
Several strong men from the Shadow Alliance looked unhappy.
Emperor Yaozong came prepared with the intention of forcing them to take action. He had already made preparations to escape, and it was too late when they wanted to stop him.
They did not want their deal with the Shen family to be leaked in advance.
Because they also need to find someone to refine the world seed.
Although the Shadow Alliance's influence is very extensive, infiltrating into major star regions and even the world above, there are also various struggles within it.
Golden Heavenly Venerable hoped that it was their own people who refined the world seed, and that the people in their department would be able to completely control the Shadow Alliance in this intermediate star field and become the absolute representative of the Shadow Alliance. He would also be able to surpass the other bishops.
Therefore, he must obtain the Shen family's world seed and find a suitable person to refine this world seed. Of course, he also wants to refine it, but with his conditions, he will not be allowed by the leader of the Shadow Alliance.
He could only ensure that the person who refined this world seed was one of his own. In this way, he could not only make great contributions and receive generous rewards, but also become the strongest Shadow Alliance leader in the intermediate star field with the help of the other party in the future.
Now Emperor Yaozong has leaked the news.
Gu Yue Sect and the Alliance will try to stop the Shadow Alliance members from refining the seed. Even though the Shadow Alliance is very powerful, all kinds of trouble will occur.
"How could this be?"
"Can you guys be trusted?"
Shen Junsong was about to collapse. Before the Shadow Alliance killed Zhang Lingfeng, their Shen family was attacked first.
"Mr. Shen, please calm down and trust the Shadow Alliance. The Shadow Alliance will definitely help you. I think the sudden appearance of Di Yaozong proves that Zhang Lingfeng has been eliminated, otherwise he would not come to your Shen family."
A deacon elder of the Shadow Alliance said.
"Is that so?"
Shen Junsong was in doubt.
"Yes, that's for sure."
The deacon elder said with absolute certainty.
"If we die, you won't get the World Seed. If you get the World Seed and we die, the reputation of the Shadow Alliance will also suffer a devastating blow. No one will dare to do business with you in the future."
Shen Wang said.
He did not hand over the world seed to Golden Heavenly Venerable.
Before Golden Heavenly Venerable fulfills his promise, he will not easily hand over the world seed. His life is tied to the world seed, and others cannot easily snatch it away.
"Mr. Shen, please rest assured that the Shadow Alliance has never made any mistakes in its work."
The deacon elder vowed.
"I want to know whether Zhang Lingfeng is dead or not. If he is really dead, then show me the whole process of killing him."
Shen Junsong has always been brooding over the killing of Zhang Lingfeng.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
The deacon elder smiled. As a powerful Mahayana master, he has always been polite to Shen Wang and Shen Junsong. This is not only because the world seed is in their hands. Even if the seed is handed over to him, he will take good care of the Shen family according to the instructions of Golden Heavenly Venerable.
Because just as Shen Wang said, if the Shadow Alliance obtained the World Seed and the Shen family collapsed as a result, the Shadow Alliance’s credibility would be gone.
If the Shadow Alliance loses its credibility, it will have no place to stand. The impact caused will be more serious than losing ten world seeds at the same time. It is precisely based on this relationship that Shen Wang would exchange world seeds with the Shadow Alliance.
After confirming that the Shen family really wanted to exchange the world seeds for the Shadow Alliance, the Di Yao Sect not only leaked the news immediately, but also encouraged the Alliance, the Gu Yue Sect and even the major financial groups and family forces to prevent the Shadow Alliance's plan from succeeding.
At the same time, he returned to Guyue Sect as soon as possible and found Zhang Lingfeng.
Zhang Lingfeng and Tian Mingyue had already learned about this matter on their way back from Diyao Sect. For this reason, Zhang Lingfeng was completely immersed in playing mahjong.
He must seize the time to improve his cultivation and strive to gain the lying flat value.
"Are you still in the mood to play mahjong now?"
Seeing Zhang Lingfeng like this, Di Yaozong was furious.
"Shen Junsong will definitely consider killing me as one of the necessary conditions. The Shadow Alliance will definitely find ways to kill me in order to obtain the World Seed. Maybe I can't stay in the Guyue Sect anymore."
Zhang Lingfeng was worried about Huang Xiangu's matter. He felt that not many people in Guyue Sect were reliable.
Even if there is an alliance, I'm afraid there will be people from the Shadow Alliance infiltrating.
Therefore, the safest place now is to return to the Blackwater Star Region, where there are checks and balances by the Heavenly Law, which can restrict the entry of powerful life forms outside the Blackwater Star Region.
If he stayed in the Black Water Star Region, he would be absolutely invincible and the Shadow Alliance would be unable to do anything to him.
"Well, now that things have come to this, I can only escort you back to the Black Water Star Region."
Di Yaozong had figured this out on his way back.
For safety reasons.
He led Zhang Lingfeng away immediately.
At this moment, the outside world is rumored to have handed over the World Seed and made a deal with the Shadow Alliance. Many people's eyes are on the Shen Family and the Shadow Alliance.
The Alliance, Gu Yue Sect, and even the major family financial groups are trying to prevent this from happening.
The Shadow Alliance seems fair and does not seem to participate in any struggles, but in fact, they control more and more resources and star regions.
If it continues to grow, it will threaten the survival of all forces.
In addition, with the Alliance and Gu Yue Sect taking the lead, many people are happy to see the Shadow Alliance make a fool of themselves and hope that they cannot obtain the World Seed.
that's it.
Under the escort of Di Yaozong, Zhang Lingfeng and Di Yaozong left the Guyue Sect star field directly through the space window and came to the Alliance star field. Then they took the teleportation array and returned directly to the teleportation array transfer station between the Black Water Star Field and the Intermediate Star Field.
This is the primary star field, close to the Blackwater star field.
After returning here, with Zhang Lingfeng's current strength, he can almost be called invincible. Even if there is a powerful Mahayana master who uses terrifying magical powers to send down a clone to kill Zhang Lingfeng, he will not be able to succeed.
In front of the Heavenly Dao, even the most powerful Mahayana masters are like ants.
Then Zhang Lingfeng walked into the teleportation array.
Under the guidance of the teleportation array, he disappeared from the sight of Di Yaozong and others. In the teleportation array channel, Zhang Lingfeng felt like he was traveling through the starry sky.
Suddenly, a blood-red blade light appeared in front of him, as if it could cut through the space channel and even cut off Zhang Lingfeng's soul.
Zhang Lingfeng felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if a powerful Mahayana master had come in person and was waiting in the ventilation space to kill him.
But at this most terrifying moment.
The drop of life force in the body trembled again, and the powerful qi and true essence opened up another space channel, allowing Zhang Lingfeng's body to pass by the bloody blade light.
"Buzz!"
When Zhang Lingfeng returned to the primary star field and appeared at the interstellar transfer station, blood was flowing from his shoulder, which was left by the bloody blade.
As a great immortal who has transcended tribulation, one can imagine how terrifying his physical body is.
Not only does it fuse the stars, it also controls all the vitality of the life in the Black Water Star Domain. Even if the physical body is shattered, it can be reshaped in an instant. Even if there is only a trace of soul power left, it can recover with a life volume of 23.1.
As a result, the wound on his shoulder kept bleeding and his vitality was rapidly disappearing.
Zhang Lingfeng tried to seal and repair the wound, but the powerful vitality was repairing very slowly. Blood kept dripping, and the blood that flowed out did not have any fluctuations of life force.
He even saw that the Black Water Star Region, which was originally full of life light, had dimmed due to his shoulder injury.
It was as if countless lives disappeared along with it.
"Who is that?"
"You can actually attack me in the transmission channel."
Zhang Lingfeng felt frightened.
Throughout my practice, I have never heard of anyone being able to attack others through a space transmission channel.
It is also a space transmission channel leading to the primary star field.
What was even more terrifying was that the blood-red blade light possessed endless power of death, and his shoulder had not even come into actual contact with the blood-red blade light.
Moreover, his body was covered with a layer of luck and true energy, yet he almost fell under such circumstances.
The Black Water Star Region also dimmed a little because of this, like a precious jade that suddenly had a small flaw, which greatly affected the visual effect and made Zhang Lingfeng full of anger.
He discovered that the life volume of the Black Water Star Region had actually dropped by 0.8, from 23.1 to 22.3.
The size of the stars is also affected.
It can be said to be a heavy loss.
He even felt that if it weren't for the help of that drop of life force in his body, even if he could escape, most of the life in the Black Water Star Domain would be consumed.
"Shadow Alliance, just wait for me."
Zhang Lingfeng was furious. After returning to the Blackwater Star Region, he wanted to uproot the Shadow Alliance and make sure that the Shadow Alliance would never appear in the Blackwater Star Region again.
"Mr. Di, I'm injured. I encountered a very terrifying blood-red blade light in the space transmission channel. I almost died in its hands. Do you know what that blood-red blade light is?"
Zhang Lingfeng must figure out what that bloody blade light is, otherwise he will have psychological trauma if he continues to ride the teleportation array.
"Bloody blade light?"
Emperor Yaozong was caught off guard.
"It is a magical power that resonates between bloodline power and the laws of space. When did the Shadow Alliance master this magical power?"
Emperor Yaozong felt incredible.
Laying out a layout in a space channel is not an easy task. Even among the strong ones in the advanced star field, not many people can do it, unless the space laws that the other party is exposed to are extremely powerful.
And through Zhang Lingfeng's description, Di Yaozong knew clearly that it was a terrifying magical skill formed by the resonance of blood and the laws of space.
"Bloodline resonates with spatial magical power?"
Zhang Lingfeng was also full of surprise.
"Mr. Di, I think I know what's going on. The Centaur family, Ma Ning'er, it seems that the people of the Shadow Alliance have already calculated that I will leave the Ancient Moon Sect and return to the primary star field, and let Ma Ning'er kill me halfway.
There is just one thing I don't understand, how did Ma Ning'er manage to place his magical power in the space transmission tunnel leading to the primary star field?"
Zhang Lingfeng knew clearly that even cultivators from other worlds, whether human, centaur or other races, were all subject to the restrictions of Heaven, and Ma Ning'er was no exception.
As a Mahayana Wuji life form, unless it is a life form born in the primary star field, he cannot enter the star field where it appears, let alone get close to the Black Water Star Field.
"This... I have to investigate it carefully. You should return to the Black Water Star Region as soon as possible!"
Emperor Yaozong was at a loss for a moment.
Zhang Lingfeng could only go back first. For some reason, ever since he saw the blood-red blade light, he began to doubt whether the Black Water Star Region could protect him. (End of this chapter)
