Originally, Hongbo and these new students planned to set Lin Zhen up, but they didn’t expect to be countered by Lin Zhen. He struck first, and the two sides immediately clashed.

Lin Zhen’s eyes were icy cold, his Yin-Yang Spear flipping up and down in his hands. Every time the spear struck, someone would fall.

As for the people of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, they activated their talents one after another. Using their talents to fight against the enemy was the safest way.

Although there were many people in the Blue Bee Gang, their quality was actually not as good as the people on Lin Zhen’s side.

Hongbo’s talent was the Star-space Violent Ape, and his body had swelled up in a circle. His weapon was a long stick, which he swung like a windmill. He was powerful, but several experts from the other side were attacking him, and he couldn’t break free for some time.

People on both sides kept screaming and falling. Lin Zhen’s mental power moved, and the Seven Stars Knife rose into the air.

In a group battle, the Seven Stars Knife was even more ferocious than the Yin-Yang Spear.

Seven beams of lightning crisscrossed, drawing deadly arcs in the sky, and more than a dozen opponents fell to the ground in an instant.

“Damn! This kid is fierce!”

“Watch out! He’s a Sky Blue-level Spiritual Mind Master!”

“His flying knife is an Artifact… uh!”

Lin Zhen stood in place, the flying knives circling around, each bringing death. These bandits fell one after another as if they were cutting grass, their numbers dwindling rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, only a few dozen remained out of more than a hundred. Only then did they realize how powerful Lin Zhen was, and no longer dared to hesitate, fleeing desperately.

With the seven knives recovered, Lin Zhen’s spiritual power spread out like a spider’s web, and under the double effect of gravitational force and mental power, everyone’s Space Rings were collected by Lin Zhen.

Without a glance, he put them directly into the Dark Star Space and turned to leave.

Apart from Taishan and Cao Yang waving at Lin Zhen, the others were stunned, unable to accept this scene.

They originally thought Lin Zhen was just a rookie, but it turned out he was such a force to be reckoned with. At this moment, they all regretted their choices immensely.

In a hidden deep mountain forest on Hills Star, there was a towering pagoda atop a precipitous peak.

This was not a Buddhist pagoda but the headquarters of the Heavenly Tower, one of the four major gangs in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation.

Even peripheral members didn’t know where the headquarters was, and only core members had the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Tower.

At the top of the 300-story skyscraper, three people were having a conversation at this moment.

“This time, our three families must cooperate and wipe out the Qing Luan Society completely. The people you two have prepared should be in place, right?”

“That’s right, for this cooperation, our Earth Core Jade Tower sent 10,000 Constant Star Stage experts, ten Black Hole Stage experts, and many more people scattered in other gangs. Many people don’t even know their identities, they’ll definitely catch those ladies off guard once it’s time.”

“We, Dragon Totem, sent Dragon Clan warriors. As you know, it’s extremely difficult for us to select talents. The Dragon Totem tattoos can’t be used by just anyone. These 8,000 people are the most elite members under 100 years old, with 3,000 forming our main force and the remaining 5,000 people scattered around. They’ll be able to gather immediately when it’s time.”

The representative sitting in the middle, wearing the symbol of the Heavenly Tower, nodded in satisfaction after hearing the Earth Core Jade Tower and Dragon Totem representatives’ statements.

“That’s good. Our Heavenly Tower has also prepared 13,000 people, using a similar approach, infiltrating World Stones, and delivering a fatal blow to the Qing Luan Society at a critical moment.”

The Dragon Totem representative, who had densely packed Divine Dragon tattoos on his body, also nodded and spoke, “Yes, those damn ladies were originally nobodies, but twenty years ago Feng Qingluan, that girl, rose to power, carving out her own heaven in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation. She’s a mortal enemy to our Dragon Totem, and she hasn’t been kind to us in the past.”

“Our Earth Core Jade Tower is the same. Our mining industry was originally our main business but was meddled in by her. After several battles, we gained nothing but lost a large number of mineral star mining rights. If this continues, our brothers will go hungry.”

“We, Heavenly Tower, are also the same. Feng Qingluan, that snake-like woman, has made our slave trade cloudy and smoky. During the Heaven Brilliance Star battle, she killed 400,000 of our brothers. Everyone says we gangs kill a lot of people, but she personally killed more than 100,000. I can’t wait to tear her apart and eat her alive!”

“Hehe, don’t be impatient, isn’t this an opportunity? Feng Qingluan has been away in the Fire Kirin Empire for several years, and her handcrafted Qing Luan Society doesn’t have as much influence as before. The so-called Four Beauties of Qing Luan are just good-looking, useless decorative pillows. We’ll take advantage of this opportunity to cut off her roots!”

“That’s right, this time the Qing Luan Society sent out 5,000 troops, all of them female. These people are the elites of the Qing Luan Society. Once we get rid of them, the Qing Luan Society will be basically over.”

The Heavenly Tower representative looked at the other two people, “You’ve given instructions on where to take action, right?”

“Yes, we have. The ambush locations are all set by us beforehand, and we guarantee there won’t be any mistakes.”

“Then let’s hope for our success this time. After this matter is done, the four major gangs of Hills Star will become the three major gangs, and we’ll share all of the Qing Luan Society’s businesses equally.”

“Of course, but let’s not forget about Yama World King’s treasure. It’s said that when Yama World King was alive, he was one of the strong ones among the World Kings. After he died, there was no record of his Memory Book. It should be within the World Stones.”

“I’ve also heard that many powerful people would record their life’s learning in a golden book, the Memory Book, before they die. If someone were to obtain the memory of a World King, wouldn’t they learn all his techniques? This would be the most valuable treasure. We must get it no matter what.”

“We definitely will. This time, our three families sent real experts. Our Heavenly Tower’s Xuanzhu, your Dragon Totem’s Apollo, and the Earth Core Jade Tower’s Tianci are all rare talents in the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation in a century. They definitely won’t return empty-handed.”

“Victory!”

“Victory!”

The hands of the three representatives came together, full of confidence.

Two flying knives flashed through the darkness, silently beheading two approaching Green Evil Ghosts. Lin Zhen’s figure passed by within the mist.

The fog gradually faded ahead, with the sound of splashing water emerging.

“Finally, the Santu River,” Lin Zhen said, walking out of the foggy area and into clearer scenery.

The Santu River was a vast blood-red river spanning dozens of miles, filled with rolling red waves. It seemed endless at first glance.

It was said that the river was entirely composed of blood, specifically the blood of those slain by Yama, the World King. No one knew how many people he had killed, but the thought of it was enough to send shudders down anyone’s spine.

Perhaps people didn’t fully believe this legend until they arrived at the river bank and saw the raging blood-red river filled with wailing, struggling souls and vicious ghosts trying to devour humans on the shore. Yet, these ghosts could not escape the bindings of the Santu River.

Borne of a terrifying vicious aura, these countless spirits had become powerful vengeful ghosts after thousands of years, with strength at least on par with the Satellite Stage. The nauseating stench hung in the air, scaring people with faint hearts into retreating at a single glance.

Lin Zhen put on his metal mask and quickly approached the riverbank, where there was a long bridge spanning across.

“Naihe Bridge, the entrance to the Yellow Springs Netherworld.”

There were already many people crossing the bridge at a rapid pace. Lin Zhen quickly joined the flow, speeding towards the other side.

When he reached the middle, the ghosts in the river underneath began to wail madly, stirring up enormous blood-red waves as if they could leap onto people at any moment.

A mild stabbing pain struck Lin Zhen’s mind.

“This is… a Mental Shock!”

Lin Zhen felt the attack of the forces, and blurry illusions began to rise in his mind.

These illusions contained negative emotions such as hatred and killing intent. If influenced by them, one could very well experience demonic possession.

His sky-blue Spiritual Power began to flow, and with Lin Zhen’s powerful mental strength, he easily dispelled the illusions.

“So, the Santu River is a test of one’s Spiritual Power. This is too easy for me; there’s no challenge at all.”

Many people around him had stopped, standing in a daze, seemingly affected by the illusions.

Some started dancing and screaming wildly after a while, or even plunged headfirst into the river, where they were immediately killed by the vengeful ghosts.

Lin Zhen’s feet barely touched the ground as he quickly overtook the majority of the people, reaching the front of the crossing group.

As he neared the end of the bridge, he saw two groups of people fighting: one group was from the Earth Core Jade Tower, one of the four major gangs in Sanjiang, and the other was an all-female team from the Qing Luan Society. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

These women proved to be just as formidable as the men. Female fighters were rare in the world of martial arts, but those who managed to reach higher realms were invariably prodigious talents.

Each side had about a dozen members, and their fight was quite intense. From time to time, some would be knocked off the bridge and into the Santu River.

Lin Zhen had no interest in the gang fights, nor any intention of intervening. He was just about to bypass them when he noticed three Heavenly Tower members ganging up on a beautiful woman in green.

Now, Lin Zhen didn’t care if the woman was beautiful, but one of the attackers happened to be a member of the Demon Clan who had accompanied Jin Haoran during their time in the Fairy Forest.

Seeing an enemy, Lin Zhen decided not to be polite, throwing three knives to quietly dispose of the three Heavenly Tower attackers.

Originally in grave danger, the green-clad woman sighed in relief, watching Lin Zhen’s disappearing figure with her eyes.

“Qing’er! Hurry across the river!”

With their victory, the women from Qing Luan Society hurried across the Santu River as well.
