Just as this voice was heard, a ‘boom’ could be heard and a vast expanse of white frost covered the sky as it enveloped the entire plaza outside the Universal Hall.
…
At the same time, almost all of Zhen Xing’s experts were gathered in the Star Lord’s Residence in the Piercing Wind City. The Star Lord Residence in the Piercing Wind City was originally the residence of the city’s mayor but after some slight alterations, it was turned into the residence of Star Lord Wu Lingzhi. This would also be convenient for the Star Lord to gather his forces to discuss plans to resist the invasion of the foreign troops.
For the past few years, Wu Lingzhi had been racking his brain to think of ideas to defend Zhen Xing. Other than coming up with ways to prevent the foreign cultivators from reconstructing the transfer array, he managed to build the Piercing Wind City into something as formidable as a steel wall. Over the years, the defensive array was continuously being renewed and improved until it was eventually turned into a new defensive fortress.
Quoting Wu Lingzhi’s words, even if the foreign forces managed to enter the periphery of the Zhen Xing’s Piercing Wind City through the transfer array, the Piercing Wind City must be capable of fending these foreign forces off the city. To do this, he didn’t hold back as he installed countless of forbidden space arrays. Anyone who used the transfer array from the Universal Hall to the periphery of the Piercing Wind City had to pass by the Piercing Wind City to enter Zhen Xing because it was simply impossible to fly here.
In other words, even if Chi Tong was revived, he might not have done as well as Wu Lingzhi when faced with such crisis.
However, the reason why all the experts were gathered here today was not to discuss further on their plan against the foreign forces but because Wu Lingzhi was murdered.
Wu Lingzhi died mysteriously on a seat in the meeting hall with a scar on his forehead as the blood stains around his forehead had already been solidified.
The fact that there were no other evident wounds or scars on Wu Lingzhi proved that he wasn’t fighting with anyone but was killed in the Star Lord’s Residence.
”Who did it? Who is the traitor here? I don’t believe a foreign expert would be able to enter the Star Lord’s Residence!” Yan Ze shouted his lungs out as his body was filled with killing intent as if he was a sharp sword ready to kill anytime now.
This place fell silent as everyone here knew that this was definitely not done by a foreign expert. If a foreign expert managed to sneak in, Wu Lingzhi would have sent out a signal immediately and then be on his guard. He would definitely not just sit there and get killed just like that without any resistance.
One must know that Wu Lingzhi was a Worldly Immortal Stage Level 7 expert so even if the strongest foreign expert was here, he wouldn’t be completely helpless against him.
The Star Sea Hall’s Hall Master Su Xuan’s eyes were red as she clenched her fist tightly. She waited for Yan Ze to finish roaring before her eyes swept across everyone as she said coldly, ”Star Lord Wu must have been assassinated in the dark. The fact that he didn’t resist and the disbelief in his eyes proved that he must be killed by someone he didn’t expect to kill him. Also, this person must be of certain status in the Star King Mountain to be able to enter the Star Lord Residence so casually…”
Even if one didn’t kill Wu Lingzhi, many of the experts here shivered under a glare like that by Su Xuan.
Su Xuan was no simple woman. She was both the Hall Master of the Star Sea Hall as well as the commander of the Star Sea Army. Theoretically speaking, the strongest army out of the top 10 armies in Zhen Mo Continent was the Northern Star Army. However, after the fall of Star Lord Chi, Northern Star Army was split into two. Half of them followed Wu Lingzhi while the rest went under the Yan Clan.
After this split, the Northern Star Army’s combat power would not be as strong as the Star Sea Army. Therefore, the Star Sea Army truly became the strongest force coupled with the fact that Su Xuan herself was a Worldly Immortal Stage 6 expert, only a person tired of living would choose to go against Su Xuan.
Xu Chihuang, who was still only in the Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1, was trembling because in just a few years, Zhen Xing lost two consecutive Star Lords. The main point was that the deaths of both Star Lord nursed aggrievance as Star Lord Chi Tong died because of the internal conflicts of the Star King Mountain while Wu Lingzhi was killed in the dark in the Star Lord Residence which was supposed to there to protect Zhen Xing.
The pity was the Xu Chihuang was too weak and even if he suspected someone, he could not sound off what he wanted to say presently.
Worldly Immortal Stage Level 1 seemed powerful but it was nothing in a place like this. Moreover, which expert capable of standing here would not have a cultivator army supporting him?
”Star Lord Xia, who do you think killed Star Lord Wu?” Su Xuan’s eyes fell on the Hall Master Xia Dandao of the Star Wars Army as she suspected Wu Lingzhi’s death had something to do with Xia Dandao. If it wasn’t Xia Dandao then it must be Yan Pingzhi but this Yan Pingzhi was not even here.
Xia Dandao furrowed his brows slightly as the moment he wanted to speak, the hall in the Star Lord’s Residence started trembling. Following which, a large monitor display screen as it displayed a few panicky and desperate faces.
”The foreign cultivators have invaded Zhen Xing and are currently attacking the Piercing Wind City and the city is in grave danger now. Hurry, send reinforcements…” The cultivators showed in the display screen where trembling as they were evidently shocked by the scene there.
Everyone was at daze as this was way too coincidental. Wu Lingzhi just got assassinated here and the foreign experts had fixed up the transfer array and transferred themselves to the Piercing Wind City. Even an idiot knew that this simply couldn’t be pure coincidence.
Xia Dandao said in calm tone, ”We have two options now. One would be to hurry to the Piercing Wind City to fight our lives away and stop them for entering the Zhen Mo Continent even if we cannot keep the Piercing Wing City. The second option would be to immediately send representatives to negotiate with the foreign cultivators to ask for a reasonable area to ourselves so they would stop their invasion.”
