Chapter 365 Another Star Lord Falls
...
At the same time, almost all of the strong individuals from True Star gathered in the Star Lord's Mansion in Fengxiao City. The Star Lord's Mansion in Fengxiao City was actually the original City Lord's Mansion, but with a few minor modifications, it was then converted into the residence of the Star Lord, Wu Lingzhi. This also made it easier for the Star Lord to summon everyone at any time to discuss resisting the invasion of extraterritorial cultivators.
In fact, Wu Lingzhi had been working tirelessly for the defense of True Star in recent years. In addition to constantly trying to hinder the construction of void teleportation arrays by extraterritorial cultivators, he also built Fengxiao City like an iron barrel. In recent years, the protective array of Fengxiao City has been continuously strengthened and innovated, eventually forming a new defensive fortress.
In Wu Lingzhi's words, even if aliens teleported to Fengxiao City outside True Star through the Void Gate, Fengxiao City would have to stop these aliens under Fengxiao City. For this, he even spared no expense to arrange countless air-forbidden formations. Any cultivator teleported from the Starry Sky Hall plaza to outside Fengxiao City, wanting to enter True Star, must pass through Fengxiao City, because flying is simply impossible here.
In other words, even if Chi Tong were resurrected, facing this situation, he might not be able to do better than Wu Lingzhi.
But today, the many strong individuals came here not to discuss matters related to resisting the aliens with Wu Lingzhi, but because Wu Lingzhi had been killed.
Wu Lingzhi sat on a seat below the council hall with unseeing eyes. There was a scar on his brow, and the blood around the scar had solidified.
Apart from this, there were no other wounds to be seen on Wu Lingzhi's body. In other words, Wu Lingzhi was killed in the Star Lord's Mansion without even fighting his opponent.
"Who is it? Which traitor? I don't believe that a strong alien cultivator can enter the Star Lord's Mansion!" Yan Ze roared loudly, his body overflowing with murderous aura, like a sharp sword collapsing from its sheath, ready to fight someone at any time.
There was a silence around them. Everyone knew that this was definitely not done by aliens. If a strong alien cultivator came, Wu Lingzhi would definitely send out a warning signal as soon as possible, and then be fully prepared. It was impossible for him to be simply killed in his seat without even having the ability to resist.
It should be known that Wu Lingzhi was a powerful Immortal Human at the seventh level. Even if the strongest person from the alien race came, he would not be without the ability to resist.
Su Xuan, the Hall Master of the Star Sea Hall, had red eyes and clenched her fists tightly. After Yan Ze's roar subsided, she swept her gaze over everyone present before saying coldly, "Star Lord Wu was assassinated by an acquaintance. Seeing that he didn't even resist, and the disbelief in his eyes, one can know that this person held a high position and could easily enter and exit the Star Lord's Mansion..."
Even if they hadn't killed Wu Lingzhi themselves, the many strong individuals standing here felt a chill run down their spines after Su Xuan's gaze swept over them.
Su Xuan was not a simple person. Not only was she the Hall Master of the Star Sea Hall, but she also commanded the Star Sea Army. In theory, the strongest fighting force among True Star's ten armies was the Northern Star Army, but in reality, after the Star Lord's fall, the Northern Star Army had been divided into two. One part belonged to Wu Lingzhi's people, and the other part belonged to the Yan family.
With this division, the true fighting power of the Northern Star Army was now inferior to that of the Star Sea Army. The Star Sea Army had become the true strongest army, and coupled with the fact that Su Xuan was also a powerful Immortal Human at the sixth level, who would be tired of living and want to go against Su Xuan?
Xu Chi Huang, who was still only at the first level of Immortal Human, was trembling with anger. In just a few years, two Star Lords of True Star had fallen in succession. What was key was that the deaths of these two Star Lords were extremely frustrating. Star Lord Chi Tong fell due to the internal strife of Star Emperor Mountain, and Wu Lingzhi was assassinated in the Star Lord's Mansion, the first line of defense for protecting True Star.
Unfortunately, Xu Chi Huang's strength was simply too low. Even if he suspected someone here, he couldn't say what was in his heart at this moment. The first level of Immortal Human seemed like a very high level of strength, but it really wasn't enough to speak up in this place. What's more, which of the strong individuals standing here didn't have the support of numerous cultivator armies behind them?
"Hall Master Xia, who do you think killed Star Lord Wu?" Su Xuan's gaze fell on Xia Dan Dao, the Hall Master of the Star Battle Hall. She strongly suspected that Wu Lingzhi's death was related to Xia Dan Dao. If it wasn't Xia Dan Dao, it was Yan Ping Zhi, but that Yan Ping Zhi wasn't even here at this moment.
Xia Dan Dao frowned slightly, just as he was about to speak, an alarm suddenly blared in the main hall of the Star Lord's Mansion. Immediately afterwards, a huge surveillance screen showed several panicked faces.
"Alien cultivators have already invaded True Star, and are currently attacking Fengxiao City. Fengxiao City is in imminent danger. Send reinforcements as soon as possible..." The voices of the cultivators on the surveillance screen were trembling, obviously shocked by the scene.
Everyone was stunned. This was simply too coincidental. Wu Lingzhi had just been assassinated here, and the alien's void teleportation array had been set up there, and they had even attacked outside Fengxiao City. Even an idiot would know that this matter was not accidental.
Xia Dan Dao suddenly said loudly, "There are only two paths before us. One is that we immediately rush to Fengxiao City and fight the invading aliens to the death. Even if we can't defend Fengxiao City, we must not let a single bug from the alien race enter True Mo Continent. The second path is to immediately send someone to negotiate with the aliens, and strive to stop the invasion within an acceptable range."
Xia Dan Dao's words made the cultivators present somewhat stunned. What did this mean? The two paths were so vastly different?
The first was to desperately protect True Star, while the second clearly meant that everyone should preserve their strength and cede territory and pay reparations.
But can these alien invaders be resolved by ceding territory and paying reparations? This was obviously impossible to resolve. Almost everyone could be sure that even if True Star offered more things, the other party would definitely agree falsely, and would definitely go back on their word after entering Fengxiao City.
These alien barbarians simply had no integrity to speak of.
"I think Hall Master Xia's first option is completely unrealistic. Once the aliens invade, there will definitely be a continuous stream of large armies entering True Mo Star. It's simply a dream for True Mo Star to block the alien invasion..." A man with a long beard, who looked extremely upright, stood up and said.
However, before the person could finish speaking, Su Xuan directly interrupted him, "Enough, everyone, come with me to Fengxiao City to resist the aliens. We'll talk about other things later. Xuan Yu, you immediately protect Star Lord Wu's body and do not allow anyone to touch it."
"Yes!" A woman at the first level of Immortal Human had just stood up to respond, and Su Xuan had already rushed out first.
Almost everyone else followed her out. Xia Dan Dao's expression was not very good, but since everyone else had rushed out, he naturally couldn't stay here.
...
At the edge of Fengxiao City's protective array, a group of True Star's strong individuals stared blankly at the void teleportation array outside Fengxiao City. That place looked as if it had collapsed, and thousands of people were falling onto True Star every moment.
At this moment, tens of thousands of people had already gathered outside Fengxiao City. Everyone recognized the person leading them, Bao Lie. He had already advanced to the eighth level peak, and was only one step away from entering the ninth level of demonic beast.
And standing beside Bao Lie was even a terrestrial immortal expert. This expert didn't talk much, and the cultivators on True Star didn't even know his name. They only knew that he was an expert from Gu Nuo Star, and Star Lord Chi Tong of Star Emperor Mountain was assassinated by this person.
"It's not that my True Star doesn't have terrestrial immortal experts, but the pity is that they are not here..." A sect master said hatefully, and finally could only let out a helpless sigh.
No one answered his words. True Star not only had terrestrial immortal experts, but there were quite a few of them. There were several terrestrial immortal experts on the Starry Sky Ranking alone.
Unfortunately, none of these experts would stay on True Star. The vast majority of them were searching for ways to break through from terrestrial immortal to celestial immortal in the vast starry sky, or looking for ways to shatter the void and obtain longevity.
For such experts, if they learned that True Star had been breached from a very far place, they might not even bother to come back. In their eyes, breaking through to a higher level was the most important thing.
"Boom boom boom!" The protective array outside Fengxiao City continued to emit booming sounds, and this attack was only being carried out by tens of thousands of people. One could imagine that once hundreds of thousands, or even millions of aliens teleported down from that void teleportation array, Fengxiao City would be breached sooner or later.
And hundreds of thousands or millions of aliens coming to True Star was simply not something to doubt. Looking at the alien cultivators falling frantically and rapidly from the void teleportation array like dumplings, one knew that this was only a matter of time.
"Are we just sitting here and waiting for death? Cultivators who are willing to sacrifice for my True Star, charge out with me!" Looking at the alien cultivators who were constantly pouring down, Yan Ze shouted sharply.
Before everyone could respond, Xia Dan Dao said coldly, "Star Lord Wu initially established numerous defensive formations in order for us to hold Fengxiao City here. If you charge out like this, then what use are all these defensive formations that Star Lord Wu established?"
Su Xuan snorted coldly, "I agree with Hall Master Yan's words. Star Lord Wu established the defensive formations in the beginning to also tell us that once the alien's void teleportation array is established, we must strike at its midpoint while it is still being built, not to ask us to defend to the death. Waiting here is the true way to wait for death."
"Kill!" As she spoke, she had already led numerous cultivator armies to follow Yan Ze and charge out. Although there was no commander, with someone taking the lead, many cultivators also followed and charged up.
Everyone knew that what Su Xuan said was the truth. Once all the aliens had teleported over, Fengxiao City would definitely not be able to be defended.
Seeing the cultivators in Fengxiao City open the formation gates and charge out together, the alien cultivators who were still attacking Fengxiao City's protective array immediately turned their heads and surged up frantically.
The cultivators from both sides fought together outside Fengxiao City, and in a short time, this place became an increasingly large battlefield.
At this moment, cultivators from Fengxiao City were constantly charging out, and cultivators were constantly falling from the void teleportation array outside Fengxiao City.
