Chapter 1279: Tea Has Been Spilled
“How did you know that Zhuo Gudao’s lifespan was coming to an end?” Feng Ziying’s eyes widened in shock while looking at Shang Xia.
Shang Xia explained what he heard from Zuo Li and Qu Guan of the Spirit Thistle World.
Upon hearing that, Feng Ziying revealed a strange expression and wondered out loud, “This is strange... How did the True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World learn about it? They grew to prominence later than the Spirit Tinkle World and Zhuo Gudao should have long since given up his position and entered the Star Origin Lord Manor to cultivate...”
Shang Xia thought of something and gasped, “To stop us from meeting the Spirit Thistle World’s fleet, the Star Origin Dao Field sent Dou Jie and Chang Kun to stop us. They were fourth tier True Immortals... The Spirit Thistle World was held back by 2 fifth tier True Immortals and they should be Yuan Yan and Pei Lu...”
“Are you saying that they revealed the reason behind Zhuge Xiang’s death? There might be some reasons we don’t know yet, but they have their own factions...” Feng Ziying frowned and fell deep into thought. The next second, his eyes widened in shock and he looked at the other 2 and saw the look of realization on their face.
Feng Ziying gasped, “Unless they have already formed a secret alliance with each other!”
Kou Chongxue muttered, “It doesn’t matter if they are 3 of 4 factions in the Star Origin Dao Field. Whatever it is, with Zhuo Gudao entering the grand completion stage of the Martial Void Realm, your faction will be the strongest of them all. It’s completely reasonable for the others to form alliances.”
Shang Xia added, “Is Tong Yutang or Zhuo Gudao behind your assignment to be sent to our world?”
“What do you mean...” Feng Ziying asked in confusion.
Shang Xia quickly continued, “If the Spirit Thistle World’s information source was really from the 2 fifth tier True Immortals, other than trying to sow discord between us, do they really not have anything else for you to do?”
Feng Ziying thought for a moment before he grunted softly. “Actually, Tong Yutang did ask me to invite you for a meeting. After all... You guys can be considered old acquaintances, right?”
Shang Xia looked at Kou Chongxue before snorting softly. “Yeah... Because of that old fuck, I was nearly silenced by a long-range ultimate attack...”
Feng Ziying’s expression instantly sank. He knew how a super long-range strike injured Shang Xia, but it was the first time he was hearing who the culprit was. “Are you sure it was him?”
“Yeah, I’m almost sure it’s him. Back then, Tong Yutang should have been trying out their battle formation to kill Zhuge Xiang and sent out that strike. Also, Xing Xingtian should have been in charge of aiming that strike. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so accurate...” Shang Xia nodded slowly.
With his expression turning completely black, Feng Ziying seemed to be lost in thought as he thought of some other things while nodding slowly, “I see...”
Kou Chongxue looked at Shang Xia before looking at Feng Ziying whose expression was as ugly as could be before coughing once, “Looks like after the War of the Spirit Tinkle World, the Star Origin Dao Field realized that they wouldn’t be able to easily control the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World. They progressed too far and even with Zhuo Gudao’s progression into the grand completion stage of the Martial Void Realm, they have to start drawing other powers to their side...”
Shang Xia wasn’t too caught up in Tong Yutang’s scheme against him and he added to whatever Kou Chongxue was saying, “They chose the right people to try to pull to their side. If the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World wish to ascend, ordinary Azure Worlds are unable to cause the change. The most direct method would be to devour either one of our Spirit Worlds. At the very least, in the eyes of the Star Origin Dao Field, saving us is the same as saving themselves...”
Feng Ziying finally spoke again, “The War of the Spirit Tinkle World caused many high-level True Immortals of the 2 great Spirit Worlds to suffer injuries of varying degrees, none of them died. They might have lost 2 or 3 True Immortals, but with their powerful foundations, it won’t be long before they produce new True Immortals. From what I know, Hua Jianlou of the Spirit Abundance World became a high-level True Immortal. In fact, he entered his current realm before you, Patriarch Kou.”
Kou Chongxue nodded with a calm expression.
During the War of the Spirit Tinkle World, Kou Chongxue had already obtained the advantage in the battle against Hua Jianlou during the later part of their battle. Since both of them had entered the level of Dao Union, Kou Chongxue didn’t have any reason to be afraid of him any longer.
Shang Xia asked again, “How much do you know about Zhuo Gudao? During the War of the Spirit Tinkle World, we heard that he advanced because of the world origin obtained from the Spirit Tinkle World. However, because he used the core of the Star Origin Dao Field to reach his current level, he is unable to leave the Dao Field... That is also why the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World went all out and were no longer in fear of any repercussions...”
Feng Ziying shook his head and sighed, “I don’t know too much about it either. I only heard from those around that initially, Zhuo Gudao, Yuan Yan, and Pei Lu maintained their posts in the Star Origin Lord Manor together. However, because Zhuo Gudao’s lifespan was coming to an end, he chose to take the risk to break through. With the others not knowing about it, he refined a portion of the Star Origin Dao Field’s core and managed to reach the sixth tier...”
“That also seems related to the scheme against Zhuge Xiang’s death. It might be because the core of the Star Origin Dao Field has been controlled by the Star Origin Guards and the hidden members in the Star Origin Lord Manor and both sides would restrain each other from going overboard. From the looks of it... The Star Origin Guards should have completely become the subordinates of the Star Origin Lord Manor...” Feng Ziying concluded.
Kou Chongxue also asked a question he suddenly thought of, “The War of the Spirit Tinkle World caused the death of almost every single Star Origin Guard under the Martial Void Realm. Is that also a scheme of the Star Origin Lord Manor?”
Feng Ziying shook his head in response, “I just emerged from seclusion and I don’t know too much. However, during the initial exchange where they were ambushed by the experts of the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World, only Tian Moran was actually killed... For there to only be a single casualty...”
Shang Xia interrupted before he could finish. “Wasn’t there another True Immortal who was slain?! I mean... she went missing, but it’s extremely likely she perished, right?”
Feng Ziying chuckled in response. “Feng Ziyuan was swept into the void during the chaos but she didn’t actually die. She even obtained a huge opportunity and advanced her cultivation... She actually already returned to the Star Origin Dao Field...”
Shang Xia frowned and felt that something wasn’t right, but he couldn’t actually think of what the problem was.
Kou Chongxue decided to insert himself into the conversation next. “Let’s talk about the other 2 high-level True Immortals. What do you think of Dou Jie and Chang Kun?”
Feng Ziying thought for a moment before he responded, “I didn’t interact much with them and I don’t know much. All I know is that Chang Kun is Yuan Yan’s follower and they have a great relationship. Since you guys injured Chang Kun, you basically formed a grudge with Yuan Yan. As for Dou Jie... He seems to have a great relationship with everyone and he should be one of Zhuo Gudao’s followers...”
“Should be?” Kou Chongxue immediately caught on to his strange use of words.
Feng Ziying quickly added, “It’s said that he has always been weaving around the Star Origin Dao Field and his stance is blurry. However, with Zhuo Gudao’s faction being the strongest, he would have thrown himself over...”
