Chapter 1278: Coming In Hot
Showing off his cultivation after he broke through to the Martial Void Realm to 2 high-level True Immortals?!
My man... Are you thinking too much into it? Or do you think that we’re idiots?
Seeing how they were staring at him like he was a fool, he pressed his lips together and sighed, “Alright, alright... Actually, I was sent by the Star Origin Lord Manor to congratulate Patriarch Kou on entering the fourth tier and the Spirit Luxuriant World for obtaining another high-level True Immortal.”
Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia continued to stare at him without a word.
Putting on a helpless expression, Feng Ziying sighed, “Of course, it would be best if I could sow some discord between the 2 of you and try to strain your relationship...”
Finally, Shang Xia broke out laughing, “So... You’re supposed to be a shit stirrer?”
Kou Chongxue’s expression turned solemn and a frown appeared on his face, “Why did they send you instead of anyone else then?”
The smile on Feng Ziying’s face was greatly restrained and he muttered, “Maybe because I’m a new face among the True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field. Right, I also have something else to do and I was supposed to inform all the True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field that the Star Origin Guards will be rebuilt soon and they will be much stronger than before.”
“Oh? What do you mean?” Shang Xia revealed a look of interest and asked.
“After the reorganization, every single Camp Commander will be a True Immortal.” Feng Ziying explained.
Glancing at him from the corner of his eye, Kou Chongxue sneered, “I’m sure this is why you’re so cocky when you came back to show off in front of us... Are you going to be one of those Camp Commanders?”
“Hehehe...” Feng Ziying revealed a sinister smile. “Told you I would catch up and become even more useful...”
To that, Shang Xia could only frown and asked with worry, “Do they really trust you?”
Feng Ziying grinned and spoke with confidence, “I’m just going along with Tong Yutang...”
“So?” Kou Chongxue grunted suddenly, “Do you really think that Tong Yutang still calls the shots in the Star Origin Dao Field? Even an outsider like me knows that there’s a grand completion stage True Immortal in the Star Origin Dao Field called Zhuo Gudao!”
Shang Xia added, “It’s also said that True Immortal Zhuo Gudao was the third Star Origin Guards Commander...”
Feng Ziying glanced at them before speaking in a serious tone, “You know all that, but do you know he’s the person supporting Tong Yutang? The reason Tong Yutang could succeed in plotting against Zhuge Xiang and obtain the position of Star Origin Guards Commander is because of Zhuo Gudao! He took his position without causing any trouble at all... Everything was because of True Immortal Zhuo Gudao’s support!”
Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia exchanged a glance, and eventually, Kou Chongxue broke out laughing. “From the looks of it, you really learned a lot of secrets regarding the Star Origin Guards ever since breaking through to the Martial Void Realm.”
“From what you’re saying, the Star Origin Dao Field seems split into different factions. Do you know Dou Jie? He’s a high-level True Immortal of the Star Origin Lord Manor.” Shang Xia asked suddenly.
Feng Ziying replied casually, “Of course there are different factions. The Star Origin Lord Manor houses 2 past Star Origin Guards Commanders. Zhuo Gudao is one of them, and the other is True Immortal Yuan Yan, a fifth tier True Immortal and the fourth Star Origin Guards Commander.”
Shang Xia continued, “Does that mean that there are 2 great factions around those 2 former Star Origin Guards Commander?”
Glancing at Shang Xia, Feng Ziying sighed, “That’s far from it. Before Zhuge Xiang died, there were 4 great factions in the Star Origin Dao Field.”
“Oh? That would mean that the Star Origin Guards Commander has their own faction... Where did the last one come from?” Kou Chongxue couldn’t help but chuckle.
Shang Xia quickly thought back to the War of the Spirit Tinkle World and recalled how there were 2 fifth tier True Immortals who set up the Seven Stars Seven Tribulation Formation.
Indeed... Feng Ziying quickly introduced, “The other faction is backed by True Immortal Pei Lu, the other fifth tier True Immortal of the Star Origin Dao Field. He Yingrui and Feng Ziyuan, the other female Martial Void Realm True Immortals, were supported by her. However, their faction had always kept a low profile in the Star Origin Guards and it might have something to do with how the strongest experts of their factions were fully made up of female cultivators... They had always stood neutral in most conflicts.”
Shang Xia nodded slowly and understood why True Immortal He Yingrui didn’t try to take the position of Star Origin Guards Commander despite her cultivation at the third tier of the Martial Void Realm. Instead, she maintained her stance of neutrality and coordinated with Tong Yutang after he consolidated his power.
However... If anyone underestimated True Immortal Pei Lu because she maintained her neutral stance and kept a low profile, they would be really stupid.
Kou Chongxue suddenly asked, “Do you think that there are still hidden experts among them?”
“There are definitely more hidden True Immortals in the Star Origin Dao Field. Those in the Star Origin Guards won’t be the only ones. At the very least, I know that there are at least 2 True Immortals who were once Camp Commanders. 1 of them remained in the city while the other found a home in the wilderness. Both of them aren’t young, and they wouldn’t reveal themselves in normal times. There will definitely be more experts like that among the residents of the Star Origin Dao Field...” Feng Ziying explained.
Nodding slowly, Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue noticed the grave look in each other’s eyes.
With the Star Origin Lord missing, the Star Origin Dao Field was still able to prevent the various worlds from going crazy for hundreds of years... It was clear the power they showed was far from everything they had. Even the Star Origin Guards themselves might only be the strength the Star Origin Dao Field shows on the surface, with lots more hidden in the darkness along with mysterious trump cards.
Shang Xia also understood Feng Ziying’s true purpose in coming over. He was probably telling them not to mess around after learning about the secrets of the Star Origin Dao Field.
Shang Xia said suddenly, “Why don’t you tell us more about Zhuge Xiang? What was the true reason behind the scheme to kill him? How much information about the Star Origin Lord Manor have you obtained and why do I feel like Zhuge Xiang’s death has something to do with Zhuo Gudao’s lifespan?”
Feng Ziying’s eyes widened in shock as he turned to stare at Shang Xia. He chuckled softly suddenly and mumbled, “A formidable opponent is usually never destroyed in frontal combat. The problem usually starts from the inside. The Star Origin Dao Field is no exception. There were many reasons behind Zhuge Xiang’s death, and there are some things even I don’t know about. However, from what I have learned, Zhuo Gudao wanting to lengthen his lifespan was one of the reasons behind the plot against Zhuge Xiang. However, how did you know about it?”
