The Cultivator decided to confront Shen Rufeng head-on. Ling Feng’s strength gave him confidence and courage.
A while later, Master Tianshui and Duan Heming also took down Aming and Ahuo respectively.
From that point on, the people sent by Shen Rufeng not only failed to kill Ling Feng but were openly slain by the three cultivators.
And as the original instigator of the three lives, Shen Rufeng naturally felt the severance of their Life Force immediately.
However, he wasn’t angry; on the contrary, he was filled with anticipation.
Shen Rufeng believed that the cultivator dared to directly kill Aming, Ahuo, and Amu, indicating they had thoroughly provoked him, and there was only one possible reason for such a breach of defense — that Ling Feng had been killed by the three.
Using three lives to effectively prevent the Law from being broken was obviously a very profitable deal.
Of course, to ensure nothing goes wrong, Shen Rufeng hurriedly investigated whether Ling Feng was dead, as this matter pertained to the Law of the Black Water Star Realm, and he couldn’t afford to be careless.
"Damn it!"
A while later.
A powerful wave of force emanated from Shen Rufeng’s palace, instantly obliterating those imprisoned within the palace awaiting redemption.
"Mere ants dare to repeatedly oppose me!"
"Do you truly think Heavenly Dao Balance and Alliance constraints mean I cannot deal with you?"
"If I succeed in my tribulation, I will surely strengthen the Law, draining all of your Qi Fortune at once."
Shen Rufeng was furious.
He embodied both stars and moon, cultivating alongside the sun and moon, his strength so formidable that, face-to-face, a mere sneeze could crush Ling Feng and the others.
"Master."
At this moment, a woman, autonomous in thought and transcending Shen Rufeng’s Law, approached him. She was Zhao Rushuang.
Shen Rufeng’s registered disciple.
On the verge of Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation, cultivating the Shen Family’s Divine Secret Skill, she frequently handled matters related to Intermediate Star Realms for Shen Rufeng.
Shen Rufeng didn’t anticipate that dealing with Ling Feng would require Zhao Rushuang.
Having his disciple take action personally.
In fact, he had many other means, but by doing this, he could ensure once and for all that Ling Feng would no longer pose a threat to him.
"Though you have yet to undergo Divinity Transformation, you can enter Basic Star Realms. I want you to go to the Black Water Star Realm and personally kill Ling Feng. He is the youngest Soul Master of the Black Water Star Realm and also the Alliance Holy Son.
After you kill him, the Upper Alliance will issue a warrant for you. You must immediately return to the Intermediate Star Realm, and I will help you resolve any problems.
Also, be wary of the cultivator.
He is the strongest Soul Master in the Black Water Star Realm, his Soul Power having undergone transformation, capable of devouring Law Power and tapping into small Divine Techniques. If not for my Law constraints, he would have achieved Divinity Transformation long ago."
Shen Rufeng said.
"Yes, Master, I will not let you down."
Zhao Rushuang bowed.
"For Ling Feng, the cultivator dared to offend me. I suspect Ling Feng is not only the youngest Soul Master in the Basic Star Realm but also the most gifted cultivator among them. If my guess is correct, he has already condensed a Golden Core, at least at a Five-Star level, perhaps even Six-Star.
He might be planning to return to the Ancient Blue Star to infiltrate its Power.
So you must kill him quickly.
If any Upper Alliance members try to stop you, show no mercy."
Shen Rufeng wouldn’t allow any mishap.
"Understood, Master."
Zhao Rushuang finally realized the gravity of the situation; Shen Rufeng not only wanted to kill Ling Feng but also irreparably break with the Upper Alliance.
"Take more people with you, and be fast."
Shen Rufeng waved his hand.
"Farewell, Master!"
Zhao Rushuang quickly vanished from Shen Rufeng’s sight.
Although she wasn’t a life created by Shen Rufeng, nor did she bear his spiritual will, at an age similar to Ling Feng, she possessed Dao Seed capability and touched upon Divine Power, at the crucial stage of Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation.
Her current standing was deeply connected to Shen Rufeng, so she followed his instructions meticulously, preparing everything before setting out.
She first contacted members from the top ten of the celestial rankings.
No matter what, Ling Feng was still just a cultivator in the Basic Star Realm, only possessing Golden Core Level strength.
Zhao Rushuang understood that if she entered the Black Water Star Realm alone, it would be too conspicuous and draw attention, certainly focusing the cultivator’s attention solely on her.
At that point, killing Ling Feng wouldn’t be easy.
Moreover, once Ling Feng was killed, it would be akin to fracturing relations with the Upper Alliance; she’d need to evade both the cultivator’s interference and the Alliance’s strong members.
But if she led celestial ranking experts into the Black Water Star Realm under the guise of a diplomatic visit to contact Ling Feng, even if exposed, she’d have various countermeasures.
In short, this descent came prepared with foolproof strategies.
Success was imperative; failure was not an option.
For this was the first task Shen Rufeng assigned to her since becoming his registered disciple.
Tenth in the celestial rankings.
From the Bai He Star Realm, a Demon God member, bearing the Bloodline Power of one in ten million Ancient Divine Beasts, the Heaven-Devouring Beast, known as Qi Tong.
Ninth in the celestial rankings.
From the Yulan Star Realm, a member of the Baruch Clan, Bao Fu Baruch.
He was the cousin of Owof.
Years ago, he achieved a seven-win streak in the Demon Realm System, later condensing a Six-Star Golden Core, through the Baruch Clan’s bloodline came into contact with the Destruction Law.
