The disastrous defeat of the Fane of Destiny had caused the reputation of Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, Ji Fanxin, to spread far and wide.

The powerhouses of the various major powers of the Infernal Court obeyed the orders of the Fane of Destiny and gathered in the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt. They set up an inescapable net and quietly waited for Ji Fanxin to come and accept her death.

Lu Baitou of the Fane Barasingha was a human-shaped creature. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, but his hair was white. His pair of crimson eyes were like two pools of blood. They were deep and ferocious.

Above his head, there was a talisman.

A Heaven-concealing Talisman.

Only the Divination Division could create such a talisman. By activating it, it could cover up all the aura and secrets of the heavens on the Supreme Saint’s body and hide it without a trace.

Standing beside Lu Baitou was Shan Qiu of the Fane of Death. Above his head, there was also a Heaven-concealing Talisman.

Both Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu were famous figures. They had slain more than ten Supreme Saints of the Celestial Court.

It was precisely because they fought in the Battlefield of Merits all year round that not only were their cultivations powerful, but they were also extremely cautious. That was why they became two outposts and hid here.

They had been waiting for almost half a month, but there was no sign of the Sevenstar Imperial Palace or Ji Fanxin.

Lu Baitou’s patience had been completely worn out. He snorted. “Ji Fanxin isn’t stupid. She knows that the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt has gathered many powerhouses who want to kill her. Why would she come? If I were her, I would return to Hoth or hide.”

Shan Qiu’s eyes revealed a smile. He said, “We are wasting our time by staying here. However, Scion Xing Luo firmly believes that Ji Fanxin will come and throw her life away. He has already spoken, so we naturally can only continue to wait.”

Lu Baitou said, “Ji Fanxin is just a minor figure. There’s no need to mobilize so many people. In my opinion, the deaths of the Fane of Destiny’s powerhouses, such as Lord Wu Yue and the Zionwraith, are most likely due to another reason. It’s said that the internal strife within the Fane of Destiny is quite intense.”

“When has the old and new been replaced by a bloody storm within the Fane of Destiny? If the new Scioness wants to take power, she must kill her enemies. Scion Xing Luo was born in a Nether Clan, so it’s normal for him to lend her a helping hand. After all, gods don’t care about the fights in the secular world. As long as their methods are powerful enough, maybe the gods will like them more,” Shan Qiu said.

Lu Baitou said in a low voice, “It’s said that Zhang Ruochen is also involved.”

Shan Qiu sneered. “Zhang Ruochen thinks that he can do whatever he wants in the Infernal Court because he has the support of Wargod Xue Jue and Fukurokuju. It’s a pity he’s so close to the cultivators of the Celestial Court. He’s courting death. Just wait and see. There’s no place for him in the Infernal Court.”

“There’s no point in staying here. Why don’t we report this to the higher-ups and go to the Royal City of Hundred Clans? Suppose the Fane of Origin really appears in the Royal City of Hundred Clans. In that case, we’ll be able to take advantage of it immediately,” Lu Baitou said.

Shan Qiu was a disciple of a god of the Fane of Death, and he was a Divine Envoy. A very noble individual.

But now, he had been reduced to an outpost to deal with Ji Fanxin. He had been furious for a long time. When he heard Lu Baitou’s suggestion, he naturally agreed to it several times.

Just as the two were about to leave, they sensed a powerful Path ripple approaching from afar.

“What speed. It’s at ten thousand times the speed of sound.” Lu Baitou’s face changed.

“Is Ji Fanxin here?”

The two immediately hid carefully. They took out their Communication talismans and were ready to spread the news anytime.

…

Whoosh

Zhang Ruochen activated the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light. With every passing moment, he could fly 10,000 miles. Like a meteor, he streaked across the dark and empty universe.

He held Gong Nanfeng, the size of a bean, in his palm.

It had been ten days since Zhang Ruochen separated from Xue Lingxian and Granny Begonia. He rushed with all his might and finally entered the starfield where the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt was located.

He slowed down and stopped. He said to Gong Nanfeng in his palm, “It’s very calm. Bai Qing’er shouldn’t have reached here yet. Otherwise, once the battle breaks out, this space will already be filled with the chaotic aura of the Path.”

“Do you think she died at the hands of the pseudo god?” Gong Nanfeng’s tone was cold.

Zhang Ruochen told Gong Nanfeng that the pseudo god of the Fane of Death had come to take the Tensho Compass and the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin. He had fought with Bai Qing’er and escaped in the chaos.

Gong Nanfeng could predict everything in the world. It wasn’t easy to lie to him.

However, the Dragon Lord had covered up everything about Granny Begonia and Xue Lingxian. No matter his divination’s power, he could only predict that Mo Yunduan had reached that area.

Therefore, he believed Zhang Ruochen’s words without a doubt.

“Who in the world can defy the heavens and kill a God? Bai Qing’er may be strong, but when she was attacked by a god…”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head lightly.

“If a god interferes with the mortal world with his true form, he is trampling on the rules of the Fane of Destiny. Mo Yunduan must be punished,” said Gong Nanfeng.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Bai Qing’er is too strong. She killed wantonly in the Infernal Court. Understandably, a god would attack her.

“This is one thing, and that is another. Since the rules have been made, no one can break them.”

Gong Nanfeng cut straight to the point and said, “Brother Ruochen, have you thought about it? The purpose of the Fane of Death might not be to kill Bai Qing’er but to take the superior-grade Divine Crystal of Origin and steal the Fane of Origin for themselves.

“It’s possible he wants to kill you and me together and take all treasures and the Tensho Compass from you. However, he underestimated your and Bai Qing’er’s strength.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “It’s impossible, isn’t it?”

“How is it impossible?”

Gong Nanfeng said with certainty, “Xing Luo and the others have already set up a killing scheme in the Oort Cloud Asteroid Belt. No matter how strong Bai Qing’er was, she would die if she went. Under such circumstances, why did the god of the Fane of Death disregard the rules set by the Fane of Destiny and attack before everyone else?

“The god of Fane of Death took such a big risk. How could they just avenge the Fane of Destiny and kill Bai Qing’er? Besides, the god of Fane of Destiny didn’t even attack. Why would the god of Fane of Death be so radical?”

Zhang Ruochen nodded, “I think your analysis makes sense. At that time, Mo Yunduan was indeed aggressive and hostile toward me. Fortunately, Bai Qing’er was strong enough, so I found a chance to escape. Even the gods didn’t care about their dignity. I’m in more and more danger now!

“There’s something even more serious. My connection to the Tensho Compass has disappeared!”! “It seems that either Bai Qing’er or Mo Yunduan have refined the vessel spirit of the Tensho Compass.”. “I am the sinner of the Fane of Destiny for losing the Divine Artifact.” Gong Nanfeng was frustrated and blamed himself.

Zhang Ruochen comforted him. “At least we know that the Divine Artifact must be with them. We still have a chance to get it back.”

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen sensed something. He used the Great Dimensional Shift and disappeared from where he was.

BOOM!

A spiral-shaped artifact flew past where he had been standing just now. It pierced the space and made a series of explosive sounds.

“Who is it? Show yourself!”

Zhang Ruochen revealed himself dozens of miles away. He threw Gong Nanfeng over with his left hand and spread out his right fingers. He pushed them out gently in one direction.

The space in front of his palm broke apart automatically, forming dozens of cracks.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Dozens of Dimensional Rifts flew out like knives.

The rifts grew bigger and bigger.

“The Dimensional Rifts are flying so fast!”

“How did he find us?”

Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu looked at each other. They rushed to the left and right to avoid the Dimensional Rifts.

With their cultivation, they could naturally deal with ordinary Dimensional Rifts. However, the Dimensional Rifts Zhang Ruochen had created had Marks of Time. Their speed increased dramatically, and their power could cut through everything in the world.

Gong Nanfeng had already turned into the size of a normal person. He shouted, “Lu Baitou, Shan Qiu, what are you two trying to do?”

Since their identities had been discovered, there was no need for them to hide.

Putting away the Heaven-concealing Talisman, Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu appeared dozens of miles away in two different positions.

Lu Baitou put away the spiral-shaped artifact and cupped his hands slightly. “So it’s the Lord Overseer.”

Shan Qiu’s eyes were cold. “Lord Overseer, do you know that Zhang Ruochen has betrayed the Infernal Court?”

“Betrayed the Infernal Court?” Gong Nanfeng asked.

Shan Qiu said, “Yes. He and Ji Fanxin, the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers of the Celestial Court, created a massacre. Even the Fane of Destiny suffered a great loss at their hands. Lord Wu Yue has already fallen!”

“How could Lord Wu Yue not be a match for Ji Fanxin? It’s most likely Zhang Ruochen. He did it when he was unprepared,” Lu Baitou said.

The various forces had very little information from Xing Luo and the others. They only knew that several Supreme Saints of the Fane of Destiny had fallen, including Lord Wu Yue. The enemy was very powerful.

The cultivators of the Fane of Destiny didn’t mention anything else.

After all, the Fane of Destiny also wanted face. So many powerhouses had gone together but were beaten up by a woman. If they said it out loud, they would only invite ridicule.

It was better to wait until Ji Fanxin appeared and let them see how powerful she was.

At that time, they wouldn’t be able to laugh.

That was why the major forces could only guess and speculate about what might have happened and how powerful the enemy was. They didn’t know what exactly had happened.

Gong Nanfeng said, “It’s a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding. I swear as the Overseer that Zhang Ruochen has never betrayed the Infernal Court. Moreover, the one who caused the massacre in the Infernal Court wasn’t Ji Fanxin. It was Bai Qing’er.”

“Bai Qing’er?”

Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu were both stunned.

Gong Nanfeng said, “Bai Qing’er of the Enchanteur Chamber. She disguised herself as Ji Fanxin.”

“Disguised?”

Hearing this, Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu’s expressions became strange. They immediately activated the Precept Domain defense and slowly retreated.

They had been fighting on the Battlefield of Merits for many years, so they had developed suspicious and cautious personalities.

Gong Nanfeng’s words reminded them.

They suspected that this Gong Nanfeng was most likely transformed by Ji Fanxin.

That’s right!

That must be it.

Ji Fanxin didn’t dare to break through the barrier forcefully. She could be disguised as Gong Nanfeng and make up a story. With Zhang Ruochen’s cooperation, she could really fool him.

Gong Nanfeng felt caution, and fear in their eyes. They looked like they were going to escape at any moment. He panicked and said, “What is the meaning of this? You don’t believe me?”
