"Nine thousand seven hundred upgrade points!"
"Just three hundred more upgrade points, and the Abyss Scripture can break through the Saint King Realm, and I can also step into the Saint King level!"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the upgrade points that were about to be completed, his heart was steady and composed.
As long as he can enter the Saint King Realm, Gu Qingfeng believes his strength will undergo a fundamental transformation.
The remaining three hundred upgrade points.
Not too little either.
With another three to five months, Gu Qingfeng believes collecting three hundred upgrade points shouldn’t be a problem.
If luck is on his side, perhaps in the next instant, a Gu Family descendant might break through, allowing him to naturally step into the Saint King Realm.
Gu Qingfeng began to check the information panel’s activity.
"Your death soldier ’Yan Yun’ was attacked by an evil spirit and fell accidentally!"
"Your death soldier ’Gu Liang’ was attacked by an evil spirit and fell accidentally!"
"Your death soldier ’Jiushan’ was attacked by an evil spirit, escaped alive through sheer personal strength, but was ambushed by a strong figure from the Star Dynasty and died miserably on the spot!"
"Your death soldier ’Lu Tian’ witnessed the slaughter of a city by the Star Dynasty, attempted to resist but was no match for the dynasty’s strong figures, ultimately perishing!"
"Your death soldier..."
The offspring information panel showed no activity, but when Gu Qingfeng saw the death soldier information panel, his brow immediately furrowed.
In just half a year, his death soldiers had suffered significant casualties.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the information panel’s prompts and ultimately discovered that most of the fallen death soldiers were located within the Star Dynasty’s territory.
"Slaughter of a city..."
"There seems to be a major upheaval in the Star Dynasty!"
Gu Qingfeng sharply caught two key words, a vague suspicion arose in his heart, but he couldn’t immediately confirm it.
After all, colluding with evil spirits is a major crime.
If this news were to spread, it would be enough to make the world disdain them.
As long as the Star Dynasty is not foolish, they wouldn’t do such a thing.
The Human Clan and evil spirits are two different races, and their stances are different.
To say the Star Dynasty is secretly colluding with evil spirits, this possibility is indeed low.
But the problem lies in...
The information from the death soldier panel made Gu Qingfeng have to think in this direction.
Gu Qingfeng exited seclusion and took out a communication jade token, immediately spreading this news.
Within the Netherworld Pavilion.
A woman in red, with eyebrows like willow leaves and a cool and beautiful face, suddenly opened her eyes. With an instant movement of her divine thought, a communication jade token appeared in her hand.
"The esteemed one finally remembered me!"
Hong Ye smiled slightly, her formerly cool expression melted like an iceberg, causing the surrounding chilly temperature to rise slightly.
Hong Ye’s smile faded as she stepped forward and disappeared from the main hall.
And within the main hall of the Netherworld Pavilion.
Hong Ye appeared here.
And in front of her was the high-level group of the Netherworld Pavilion.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master!"
Everyone bent over, their faces full of respect.
Hong Ye had wielded the Netherworld Pavilion for years with many iron-blooded means, making the entire pavilion respect her greatly.
Even her stunning beauty didn’t make anyone dare to harbor any covetous intentions.
Because those who had such thoughts, well, the grass on their graves was already over three meters high.
Hong Ye looked at the crowd, her red lips gently parted, and her cool voice came forth.
"Is there anyone from the pavilion within the territory of the Star Dynasty now?"
After her words fell.
One person stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Pavilion Master, currently we have three branches within the Star Dynasty, with three hundred seventy-two assassins!"
"Contact them immediately, have them investigate if there’s any unusual activity in the Star Dynasty, and any news regarding evil spirits."
Made the expressions of many high-level members in the Netherworld Pavilion change slightly.
The first person who spoke couldn’t help but ask, "May I ask Pavilion Master, is there any upheaval in the Star Dynasty?"
"I received news that the Star Dynasty might have secretly colluded with evil spirits, but this matter isn’t confirmed yet, it needs further investigation in secret.
Remember, do not easily leak this matter, or if I find out, you won’t be spared!"
As Hong Ye spoke at the end, a chilling intent seeped out from between her brows.
Seeing this, everyone bowed their heads and accepted the command.
The information revealed by Hong Ye made them realize the seriousness of the matter.
If the Star Dynasty really secretly colluded with evil spirits, the implications would be extensive.
Faced with Hong Ye’s orders, no one dared to utter a word of dissent.
In the Netherworld Pavilion, the one before them was the true king.
Seeing the crowd take their leave, Hong Ye lazily reclined on the throne. She believed it won’t be long before news from the Star Dynasty arrived.
After all, the Netherworld Pavilion had developed for decades, secretly absorbing many cultivators, and its forces had already spread throughout the Eastern Domain.
The Netherworld Pavilion has few top-tier experts, but the number of assassins is alarming.
Like in the Star Dynasty, the Netherworld Pavilion had established three branches.
Across the one hundred eight states of the Eastern Domain, there exist divisions of the Netherworld Pavilion.
In each state covering three thousand six hundred prefectures, although not every prefecture has the presence of the Netherworld Pavilion, most do have branches set up.
How far the Netherworld Pavilion has developed over these years.
Not making Hong Ye wait too long.
Within ten days, news came from the Star Dynasty.
The person reporting was an elder from the Netherworld Pavilion, named Yu Feng.
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, news has come that all three branches of the Netherworld Pavilion in the Star Dynasty are normal, and there isn’t any unusual activity throughout the Star Dynasty."
Dressed in a black long robe, Yu Feng clasped his fists, his slightly aged face calm.
Hong Ye’s brow furrowed tightly.
"Impossible... how can there be no abnormality in the Star Dynasty, have you truly investigated thoroughly?"
Yu Feng curiously asked, "May I ask Pavilion Master, where exactly did you get the information about the Star Dynasty’s upheaval, could this information be incorrect?"
"It is certainly correct... wait, who are you really to dare impersonate an elder of the Netherworld Pavilion!!"
Hong Ye casually said, then immediately seemed to realize something, her eyes suddenly turned cold, fixedly staring at Yu Feng as if to identify traits from him.
Hearing these words, Yu Feng’s face changed dramatically, expressing fear, "What does Pavilion Master mean by this!?"
"Still not admitting!"
Hong Ye sneered, her palm suddenly producing a long sword, the powerful sword qi tore through space and swiftly slashed toward Yu Feng.
Seeing the sword qi approaching, Yu Feng’s tense expression suddenly turned calm, his right hand casually pointed and flicked out, completely breaking the sword qi.
Hong Ye’s pupils shrunk, her figure then seemed to vanish like an apparition, and hundreds of sword lights filled the main hall, enveloping Yu Feng with terrifying sword qi.
The latter’s body trembled, black Gang Qi appeared, and all the sword qi around him shattered the moment they touched the Gang Qi.
"I’m very curious, where did you find out I’m an impersonator..."
Yu Feng stood with hands poised, his expression turned cold, looking at the reappeared form of Hong Ye, a hint of curiosity deep in his eyes.
Even he didn’t realize how he was exposed.
After all, Yu Feng considered himself very well-hidden.
He had devoured the head and brains of the original Netherworld Pavilion elder, absorbed all memories, and believed no issue should arise.
