Chapter 1106: Chapter 355: Charging into the Shen Country Star Domain

Zhang Lingfeng’s thoughts flowed smoothly, and he quickly grasped the key point.

It was just that for the moment, he still couldn’t figure out Huang Xiangu’s identity, and didn’t know whether she was purely a disciple of the Ancient Moon Sect, or a member of some other force.

But he was clear that for someone to be able to drive Huang Xiangu to kill him within the Ancient Moon Sect, the Shen Family had definitely offered some benefits—benefits sufficient to make Huang Xiangu risk everything, not hesitating to make a move against him in the Ancient Moon Sect.

However, no matter what, at this moment Zhang Lingfeng would never have thought that Shen Junsong had actually used the World Seed to make a trade with the Shadow Alliance, using this opportunity to have him killed.

After all, the importance of the World Seed—he had already learned about it from Di Yaozong and Steward Ma—and the Shen Family would never easily give up the World Seed.

Although he had become a Tribulation Crossing Stage great immortal, it still wasn’t to the extent that the Shen Family would directly use the World Seed to kill him.

There was nothing wrong with Zhang Lingfeng’s thinking.

He even felt that even if he became a Mahayana Infinite powerhouse, the Shen Family might not necessarily use the World Seed to kill him. Compared to him, the preciousness of the World Seed was simply worlds apart.

What virtue or ability did he have to force the Shen Family into such a desperate situation.

He decided to contact Yan Jingchu and tell her what had happened here.

“No, I have to tell Mr. Di.”

Zhang Lingfeng found that the communication facilities had been blacklisted by Yan Jingchu, and at the same time he realized that contacting Yan Jingchu at this time was not a safe move; he didn’t know Yan Jingchu that well.

So he contacted Tian Mingyue.

An Hour passed by in a rush.

The people of the Shadow Alliance were already at the designated spot, waiting for Huang Xiangu to leave, but after waiting a long time without seeing Huang Xiangu appear, they immediately reported the news to His Excellency the Bishop, Golden Yellow Celestial Venerable.

“It failed?”

When Golden Yellow Celestial Venerable learned that Huang Xiangu hadn’t left the Ancient Moon Sect within the stipulated Time, he realized something was wrong. He hurriedly checked Huang Xiangu’s Life Plaque, and saw it shattered all over the ground, which meant Huang Xiangu had died completely, her soul scattered, without even a chance of resurrection or rebirth.

“How could it have failed?”

Golden Yellow Celestial Venerable racked his brains but couldn’t understand.

As a Bishop of the Shadow Alliance, he knew like the back of his hand Huang Xiangu’s status, identity, and strength within the Ancient Moon Sect. If not for the sake of obtaining the World Seed, he would never have sent Huang Xiangu to kill Zhang Lingfeng.

Because only by doing so could they ensure everything was foolproof.

Yet something he had assumed was foolproof had actually failed.

Huang Xiangu had actually died.

And before this, Huang Xiangu had just sent back a communication, telling him she believed she would be done within an Hour. This showed that an Hour earlier, Huang Xiangu had been brimming with confidence, believing that killing Zhang Lingfeng would be a matter of lifting a hand.

It was hard to imagine what Huang Xiangu had encountered that made her unable to complete the mission. Even if she had run into a powerhouse guarding Zhang Lingfeng, she shouldn’t have had no chance at all to send a message!

“Ding-dong.”

Seeing that an Hour had passed and he still hadn’t received any news that Zhang Lingfeng’s soul had scattered and the Black Water Star Realm had become a realm without a master, Shen Junsong took the initiative to contact Golden Yellow Celestial Venerable.

Golden Yellow Celestial Venerable, calm and composed, replied unhurriedly, “What this seat meant was that after an Hour, this seat will arrange for personnel to eliminate Zhang Lingfeng. Just wait for the good news!”

“Oh.”

Shen Junsong felt it was a bit strange, but the Shadow Alliance’s power was sky-high, its Penetration reaching into all major Star Domains. In the Seven Great Star Systems, their shadow could be seen everywhere; even the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance had to keep a respectful distance. He didn’t really think people from the Shadow Alliance would be unable to deal with Zhang Lingfeng.

So under Golden Yellow Celestial Venerable’s glib assurance, Shen Junsong concluded that he had simply misunderstood.

But for the sake of caution, he still asked again, “Your Excellency Bishop, you can kill Zhang Lingfeng within three days, right?”

“Of course.”

Huang Xiangu’s bizarre death without any sign or warning clearly made Golden Yellow Celestial Venerable feel something was off, but facing Shen Junsong’s question, as one of the Bishops of the Shadow Alliance, he still answered with firm conviction.

“Thank you, Your Excellency Bishop.”

Shen Junsong hung up the communication, thoroughly satisfied.

Within the Ancient Moon Sect.

After 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 the Ancient Moon Sect. Upon learning of this matter, he sensed something amiss, silently returned to the Ancient Moon Sect, and appeared in Zhang Lingfeng’s cave dwelling.

“I’ve already investigated Huang Xiangu’s record and the entire process of her Life’s birth. She is a Life native to the Ancient Moon Sect Star Realm, and all along there had never been any problems.

The only exception was when she became a disciple of the Ancient Moon Sect and went into Abyss One for training. She once disappeared for three years because of it. According to her own statement, she said she’d been trapped within a twisted space inside Abyss One, unable to escape, and that she attained enlightenment there, thus greatly increasing her strength. In the days that followed, she continuously rendered great merits and finally succeeded in becoming an Inner Sect Disciple of the Ancient Moon Sect. Because she was good at socializing and enjoyed helping others, many people called her Huang Xiangu.

Looking at it now, perhaps it was in those three missing years that something went wrong.

Your number one mortal enemy, apart from the Shen Family, is only the Otherworld Centaur Race from another world beyond Abyss One. Could it be that during those three years of disappearance, she wasn’t trapped in a twisted space, but had instead entered the Otherworld and become entangled with the Centaur Race?”

Even Di Yaozong at this moment didn’t suspect that the Shen Family had actually used the World Seed to eliminate Zhang Lingfeng, because the World Seed was too important. Secondly, if the Shen Family really did such a thing, countless people would think of various ways to kill Zhang Lingfeng, and at the same time countless others would stop at nothing to move against the Shen Family, trying to snatch the World Seed from the Shen Family’s hands, not hesitating even if they had to destroy the World Seed.
